Enemies Are All Nourishment for My Fungi-Chapter 143: An Even More Relaxing Second Round of Hunting (3)

Ye Nai woke up the driver.

The driver shook his head leisurely as he came to his senses, only to find that only his head and neck could move; below his neck he felt no sensation, as if that part of him no longer belonged to him.

"Ah..."

As he lifted his eyelids, he saw Ye Nai standing beside him and desperately sought her help.

"Save me, save me..."

Ye Nai didn’t want to hear his nonsense and controlled the fungus within his body to choke his breath.

"Calm now?"

The driver’s eyes rolled back as he struggled for breath, and after a few seconds, he nodded vehemently.

Ye Nai released him, and the driver gasped for air.

"Tell me, what’s your background? Are you part of a famous battle team known on the list?"

The driver shook his head repeatedly.

"We’re just an ordinary battle team, an ordinary battle team."

"Not being honest, are you? An ordinary battle team dares to enter a blank zone where only radio communication is possible?"

"We’re from out of town. We’ve been hired by a boss to hunt some fresh game."

"Is that so?"

"Really, really, hunting game is our team’s business, and we have a regular boss who buys our catch. It’s better income than those who can only sell their game to traffickers."

"If you’re hunting, then hunt. Why come at me? An attack on a military crawler? Aren’t you afraid of getting shot randomly?"

"No, no..."

"So what were you trying to do?"

"We wanted to ask you about any game in the area."

"Your heartbeat and breathing rate aren’t saying that."

Having said this, Ye Nai choked the driver’s breath for twenty seconds.

Caught off guard, the driver turned pale as he was choked, and when he could breathe again, he felt his soul returned to him.

"Lie again, and next time it’ll be thirty seconds."

"We just wanted to rob you. We had our eyes on this vehicle, the military crawler, it’s a good one."

"Bold of you, to try to rob such an obvious military crawler? Aren’t you afraid of other military vehicles nearby? Isn’t there a common sense rule in the Secret Realm, that when you see a person or vehicle moving alone, not to act rashly, as it might be a trap?"

"But sure enough, there were none around you. Someone in our team had an Awakening to a scouting superpower, confirming you were alone."

"How could any scouting superpower work from such a distance at the beginning, when you were so far from me?"

"It’s a kind of micro-control, it seems to be able to recognize whether the environment is safe through vibrations in the air and dust."

"You could count how many people are inside a sealed crawler too?"

"Yes, it’s no use hiding anywhere. As long as it’s a living thing, it has to breathe, and the air will vibrate."

"Such a powerful micro-controlling superpower, and you couldn’t find a decent job? How did they end up with you?"

"They’re happy to."

"Oh."

Ye Nai’s expression remained indifferent. Although she had encountered an interesting superpower from the micro-control category, her spores were the ultimate king, so other people’s superpowers, no matter how strong or how interesting, weren’t surprising to her.

"I’ve told you everything you wanted to know. Can you let us go now?"

"Did I say anything about ’letting you go’?"

"...Ah?!" The driver’s face filled with panic, "I beg you, I’m just a driver, the orders came from the captain, it’s not related to me, I don’t know anything!"

"Hmm, I know, I know, but please understand me, I’ve used my secret attack method on you guys, and if I let a live mouth go, then would I still be alive in the future?"

"...You!"

Just as the driver was about to curse, Ye Nai timely choked off his vocal cords, preventing him from making a normal sound.

Then she threw him on the ground and went to drag all the people off the six vehicles onto the ground, before collecting the vehicles into her Space.

She didn’t bother with the people.

Amphibious creatures capable of coming ashore were already waiting to enjoy a big feast.

This out-of-town battle team had driven all the way, leaving tracks into the wetland waters, and now that neither the people nor the vehicles were to be seen, a plausible explanation was in order.

They encountered an amphibious mutant beast by the water, all the people died, and became food for the mutant beast, and the vehicle was picked up by passers-by.

A common occurrence of scavenging in the Secret Realm.

Ye Nai climbed into the caterpillar vehicle and continued on her way.

She had run too far and, after another day and a half on the road, her walkie-talkie finally started crackling with static, signaling she was back within the communication range.

Ye Nai pressed the talk button.

"Hello, hello, is anyone there?"

"Damn, Xiao Yezi, I’ve finally heard your voice again."

"Miss me?"

"Yeah, miss you, miss you, it’s been a half-month, I really missed you."

"Yi, your sweet talk is like honey, I like it; say more nice things, the more you say, the more game I’ll have."

"Wow!"

"Sister Xiao Ye is beautiful and kind-hearted!"

"Right, right, right, Sister Xiao Ye defeats a hundred with one, the mutant beast nemesis!"

All sorts of ridiculous flattery began to come through the walkie-talkie, and Ye Nai listened and laughed heartily.

"Alright, alright, let’s count the game, I’ll call out the numbers, and you check if they’re enough."

After listening to the flattery, growing more embarrassed by the minute, Ye Nai interrupted them to get back to the matter at hand.

"Okay, okay, I’ve got the ledger ready."

Updat𝓮d from frёewebnoѵēl.com.

The speaker was the person in charge of the total inventory for this mission.

"256 giant frogs."

"Wow!"

"Several waterfowl."

"Several? Don’t you have an exact number?"

"I couldn’t count, too lazy to count. They’re piled up into several small hills, like garbage mountains." Ye Nai truly hadn’t counted, and she wasn’t exaggerating; the waterfowl of various sizes were indeed piled up like that.

"Wow!!"

"Also several eggs, the waterfowl this breeding season are like idiots, just scoop in the grass and there’s a bunch."

"Okay, okay, all ’several.’

"Perhaps it’s because most parts of this wetland are uninhabited, the animals don’t know to be afraid of people."

"Might be." Ye Nai had a sudden insight, "Is that why there are no animals on your side?"

"Sigh, they’ve all run off, this half month aside from catching some waterfowl and fishing, there haven’t been any significant gains."

"Haha, the fish are just enough for us to eat."

"No problem, as long as I can account for it. I also caught fish and shrimp, there’re crabs too, but this season the males and females are all skinny, we better come back in the second half of the year."

"Wow!!!!"

"How’s the quality of the fish and shrimp?"

"There’s a rich variety, big and small. The big ones are as long as a person and weigh dozens of pounds, and I’ve kept the big-headed shrimp worried the meat yield would be too small."

"Wow! A bumper harvest!"

"When it comes to hunting, you have to look for Ye."

"Then, Ye, you hurry back, and we’ll have a look at the goods first."

Captain Cao’s voice came through the walkie-talkie.

"Okay."

Ye Nai ended the communication and drove the vehicle at full speed.

Half a day later, she safely returned to camp, receiving a warm welcome from everyone.

As soon as she got out of the vehicle, Ye Nai smelled the faint stench of bird droppings in the air, both familiar and intense.

They took advantage of the daylight to count the game.

Everyone cleared out a large space in the middle of the camp, laid out several large tarps, and first released the 256 giant frogs, which were piled up into a teetering hill.

Because it was simply too dangerous, they quickly put them away after counting.
