Chapter 28 Source

Chen Ming wiped the rain off his helmet and took another look at the group of cattle that fell under the hill.

After confirming that there were no cattle still alive, he turned around and prepared to leave.

But at this moment, Chen Ming suddenly saw a huge figure limping over in the rain not far away.

This was also a mad cattle, but its right front leg seemed to be broken on the road.

So that all the fellows in front had died, and it had just arrived here.

Chen Ming raised his pistol and aimed at the eyes of the cattle, ready to end its life.

But after thinking about it, Chen Ming moved the muzzle away, aimed at its other good leg, and fired.

The bullet failed to completely penetrate its knee, but was stuck between the bones.

But the cattle did not feel any pain at all, but continued to move forward with its injured leg.

Before it took two steps, it knelt directly on the ground, squirming desperately.

Chen Ming went around behind it and shot off its two hind legs.

The bull beast with all its limbs broken could only struggle in vain on the ground. A large pool of blood, not rotten blood, gradually accumulated into a small pool under its body and was washed away by the rain.

Chen Ming immediately sped up his actions, returned to the spaceship, and found the herbs for stopping bleeding in the cold storage.

And a piece of iron chain that Chen Ming had made two days ago to reinforce the fence.

After some effort, Chen Ming tied up the paralyzed bull beast with an iron chain and connected one end of the iron chain to the spaceship.

During this period, it was still struggling, and the intense activity made its blood loss more serious.

Fortunately, Chen Ming applied medicine to its wounds before it completely lost blood and died.

Several injured legs that had lost consciousness and could not move at all were also wrapped with bandages to stop the bleeding.

After doing all this.

The bull beast's madness still did not ease at all.

Chen Ming shook his head slightly, and after confirming again that the chain would not be broken free, he returned to the spaceship.

The spaceship slowly took off, and the sound of the iron chain also rang.

With the shaky bull beast hanging on it, the spaceship flew to the temporary survival camp built by Chen Ming.

After setting the flight route, Chen Ming searched on the spaceship and finally found Xiao Shi in the ore in the storage cabin.

At this time, it was curled up, and its body was shaking slightly unconsciously.

Chen Ming poked it with the tender buds that he usually prepared in his pocket.

Xiao Shi's body shook violently and turned slowly.

A pair of small eyes lost their previous agility, as if they were suffering from uncontrollable pain.

It even lost interest in its favorite tender leaves in front of it.

Seeing that Chen Ming did not take any further action, Xiao Shi continued to curl up into a ball, and his body was still shaking unconsciously.

This was not fear, but more like some kind of physical discomfort.

Xiao Shi seemed to be affected by the unknown things that would make animals crazy and rotten, just like those animals.

But Xiao Shi seemed to have controlled it and was actively suppressing that madness.

What is the root cause of this madness for animals?

Chen Ming must find out.

If this kind of madness affects people or myself someday, maybe if I start to think of a way now, I can save myself or Xiaoshi in the future.

That's why Chen Ming saved the life of the bull beast hanging on the spaceship, hoping to find some answers from it.

But Chen Ming didn't stop there.

Just catching a crazy animal doesn't mean that everything can be figured out.

So even though it's almost dusk now, Chen Ming still plans to do something else.

After throwing the bull beast at the side of the temporary camp and confirming that its wound has not collapsed again and it will definitely not die from excessive blood loss in a short period of time.

Chen Ming controlled the spaceship to take off again and flew to the east of the camp.

There may be an answer there.

Because just now, Chen Ming noticed that there was a very slight time difference in the transition of the bull beasts from calm to madness.

The splashes near the east side were faster, which meant that the bull beasts near the east side fell into madness earlier.

Chen Ming didn't believe in coincidences, and didn't think that madness would happen very regularly in this group of nearly thirty bull beasts.

There must be something in the east.

And the same is true of the group of empty jellyfish that Chen Ming encountered when the spacecraft first tried to land.

At the beginning, the landing point was not too far from where Chen Ming was building the camp.

Although I didn't pay too much attention to it at the time, it can be clearly seen by re-opening the video of the spacecraft camera now.

There were crazy empty jellyfish on all sides of the spacecraft at that time, and the first batch of empty jellyfish that came to attack the spacecraft also came from the direction close to the east.

This situation further confirmed Chen Ming's guess.

As the speed of the spacecraft increased, the sudden rainstorm today gradually stopped.

The stars behind the clouds reappeared, and the light shone on the ground, making everything in Chen Ming's field of vision look brand new.

There were also many new sprouts growing at the junction of purple vegetation and green vegetation, a vibrant scene.

But before figuring out what was going on with the crazy animals on this planet, Chen Ming had no intention of enjoying this beautiful scenery.

The spacecraft quickly passed the area where the purple vegetation and green vegetation intersected, and completely entered the area covered by green vegetation.

Several cameras on the outside of the spacecraft kept scanning the ground below, hoping to find something.

But after a while, Chen Ming still didn't find anything abnormal.

However, Xiao Shi suddenly ran out of the storage cabin, climbed onto Chen Ming's shoulder along the chair in the captain's room, and nibbled the sprouts that Chen Ming had just placed next to the ore.

It looked like it had returned to normal.

Chen Ming reached out and touched Xiao Shi's head and said, "Are you okay?"

Xiao Shi didn't speak in response, but just rubbed Chen Ming's face.

The urgency in Chen Ming's heart was slightly relieved.

However, although the abnormality on Xiaoshi disappeared, he couldn't give up casually.

What if there is a next time, what if Xiaoshi can't bear it, where can he find a life to accompany him to spend lonely days in space?

And it's not just Xiaoshi, other animals will be affected even more.

If all the animals around are crazy, then where should he find his hunting targets?

Find another priority landing site again?

Let's not talk about whether there will be these crazy animals even if he changes the place.

Even if there is not, how long will it take to earn back the time cost of getting familiar with the landing site again, and the cost of the crops he has planted but has not yet been harvested?

So before the possibility of solving this situation is completely lost, Chen Ming can't just leave casually.

Time passed as the spacecraft searched in a carpet-like manner.

Half of the stars have disappeared on the horizon.

Chen Ming had already given up hope, but just before the light of the stars disappeared.

Chen Ming suddenly saw a special place on the surveillance camera that was out of tune with the surrounding environment.

An abandoned stone building complex.
