Illustrated and Iron Ring quickly completed the task of treating the natives. Judging from Illustrated's solemn expression, the natives were not in good condition.
"Most of them were malnourished, but none of them had any external injuries."
Huabao found a relatively flat stone opposite the road city and sat down. Tiehuan handed her a can of food.
"The injured and seriously ill people probably didn't survive."
Lu Cheng glanced at the natives in the distance. Even though the illustrator had left, they kept praying towards the illustrator's back.
In their eyes, this messenger of God cured their diseases and left such delicious food.
"Have the buns been distributed?" Lu Cheng asked, staring at the picture magazine.
"It's distributed. The food will last them for about two days if they eat sparingly." Pictorial opened the can in his hand and said, "Captain... we can't take care of them all the time."
Pictorial knew that his mission here was to explore the world, not to save it.
She had learned from the mission briefing that the portal between the two worlds had limited energy.
Providing simple treatment and some food to the natives was the limit of what she could do. Reason told Pictorial that if she wanted to truly save them, she had to find more energy to support the portal.
"It's only temporary. We'll be leaving here tomorrow."
Lu Cheng glanced at Nuoyi who was eating century egg and lean meat porridge in big mouthfuls.
According to the ranking of the dining standards in this church ruin, what Noy ate was already a five-star luxury meal.
Next to Nuoyi sat a little aboriginal girl, who came over cautiously because she smelled the aroma of the century egg and lean meat porridge.
When Nuoyi saw her, he generously shared his steamed buns with her.
"Regarding the next action plan."
Lu Cheng was not idle either. He took out a map that looked like it was made of some animal skin and spread it out on the ground.
This map is very obscure, with various pictures used to show the locations of towns and certain special mountains.
Fortunately, the map shows the location of this town and the core city of Skare in this country.
"From Noy's intelligence, we learned that there are more earth vein crystals in the core cities of this country, which are crystals that can fill this thing with energy."
Lu Cheng took out a piece of earth vein crystal fragment that was only the size of a thumb.
This is a small part of Lucheng that was split from the mother block. More of Lucheng was sent back to Earth through the portal for research.
"This map doesn't indicate directions or anything like that, but Noi has been to the core area of the city several times and knows the way. From her description, it would take more than half a month to walk from this town to the core city," Lu Cheng said.
"Is it possible that we will encounter those red monsters on the way?"
Kite asked, holding his rifle in his arms.
"Of course. This kind of monster called Blood Crystal Beast has become a disaster in this country. So if you don't want to become food for the monsters, it's best to keep yourself alert." Lu Cheng said, "As for today, we will stay here."
The sky outside had completely darkened. Walking in the forest in such weather was no different from committing suicide.
After all, there are a group of hungry monsters waiting in the forest.
"The first night watch mission was assigned to me. I found a commanding height in this building."
Tiehuan quickly finished the can in his hand and stood up with his weapon. Lu Cheng did not stop him and let him go to the "lookout point" with the walkie-talkie.
"If any of you are sleepy, you can go to sleep. We have to go through several triathlons tomorrow."
Lu Cheng glanced at the picture magazine and the kite. Neither of them showed any signs of being sleepy. Instead, after eating, Nuoyi nodded his head, obviously struggling with the sleepiness that was sweeping over him.
"It's only about five o'clock on Earth now. Captain... no one will feel sleepy."
Feng Kite glanced at his watch. The time on it was exactly five o'clock in the afternoon. The speed at which darkness fell in this world was much faster than that on Earth.
There are still two moons in the sky, but unfortunately they cannot be seen from here.
"Then let's chat, starting with the simplest self-introductions... I don't know your real names yet."
Lu Cheng began to answer the questions that every soldier would be asked when entering a new company: where were you from, what was your name, and what did you want to do.
"The pictorial comes first."
Feng Kite seemed to be very interested in the only woman in the team.
"Xu Lei, from Shangcheng, served in the peacekeeping mission in the past, no more."
The pictorial seems to belong to the type of woman who is not very talkative.
"That's all?"
Feng Kite asked again tentatively, but was glared at by the illustrated magazine and shut up obediently.
"It's your turn next." Lu Cheng looked at the kite.
"Me? My name is Chu Jiangning, and I'm from Jiangcheng. Although I've been a sniper for four years, my original dream was to be a pilot."
Feng Kite rubbed the back of his head awkwardly and added, "When I signed up, I learned that pilots have to take exams and so on."
"Pilot? Do you want to fly the J-10 or the J-20?" Lu Cheng asked.
"What I actually want to fly is a helicopter, like the Z-10 would be nice." Feng Zheng gave Lu Cheng an unexpected answer.
"Every pilot wants to fly a fighter jet. Your dream is a little different from others."
Every pilot Lu Cheng has met dreams of flying a fighter jet. Some pilots have even greater ambitions and want to fly a fighter jet on an aircraft carrier. Feng Zheng, who aspires to fly a helicopter, is the first one.
"Fighters fly too high and fast, and people on the ground can hardly see them during a war... I think helicopters are more impressive, hanging in the air and firing all the way." Feng Kite expressed his childish thoughts. "But after working in the military for so many years, I've become more open-minded after riding on helicopters a few times. I don't know if I'll have the chance in the future."
"The helicopter is under your care. There will definitely be opportunities in the future. Come on," said Lu Cheng.
"Thank you, Captain. It seems like it's your turn next."
When Feng Zheng handed the microphone to Lu Cheng, the picture book that had been writing something next to him also looked up at Lu Cheng.
They were all very curious about Lu Cheng's identity.
When they first received the mission, they didn't even know the captain's rank.
"My original name is Lu Cheng, you all know that. As for other information you want to know, I will punish you by copying the confidentiality regulations." Lu Cheng said.
"Captain, even we are not allowed to know your identity?"
Huabao frowned slightly. It seemed that Lu Cheng’s identity was not as simple as she had imagined.
When Feng Kite wanted to ask something, the sound of the iron ring came from the intercom.
"An unknown person has appeared on the edge of town. I repeat, an unknown person has appeared on the edge of town!"
