(Two in one) [Fuck, can you all nominate something from the yang world in the morning QAQ]
…
A group of people walked along the edge of the cedar forest.
The boundaries of the cedar forest are not actually clear. It is just that the cedar trees are tall, and most of them can grow to 20 to 30 meters high. It can only grow on completely solid ground, so it will form a boundary with muddy swamp depressions.
Swamp depressions are mostly covered with dwarf trees such as white ash trees and Luoshui trees, but they are also more than ten meters high. For small and thin humans, the sense of boundary between walking in it is not obvious, which also brings some minor troubles to the group.
Professor Nan gave full play to his title as a botanical expert, and by identifying the surrounding plants, their route did not deviate too much.
No one spoke, and gray seemed to have become the tone of this team. Even the audience in the live broadcast room felt depressed through the screen.
Luo Qi habitually walks at the front of the team. This is his responsibility as a search and rescue captain, and as a search and rescue captain, he does have the matching knowledge and abilities.
When Lu Liran saw this, he quietly followed the team without saying anything.
He walked at the back and had the best view, and could easily take in everyone’s every move.
[Brother Lu feels much quieter]
[I don’t know if it’s my imagination, but I always feel like Brother Lu has been observing that professor?]
[I also think that if that professor is targeted by Brother Lu, it’s probably not a good thing]
[He doesn’t look like a good guy. He could still pretend to be before his nose was broken. Now he looks like a clown seeking revenge on society. His face is covered in blood. It’s so weird]
[Just a professor, he shouldn’t be able to do anything?]
[It’s hard to say, knowledge is power]
[Laughing to death, god damn knowledge is power]
We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.
[Every time I watch Brother Lu’s live broadcast, I have the urge to study hard and take notes (dog head)]

In such an environment, an effective rest is very valuable.
Ke Ji walked beside Lu Liran, he looked at Lu Liran and said: “Let’s find a place to spend the night. Everyone needs to rest.”
Luo Qi turned his head when he heard this and looked at the conditions of the people behind him. His team members and another survivor were all very depressed, and they were obviously struggling to the extreme.
Except for the professor, even though that person’s face was pale and ugly, and he even trembled uncontrollably, his eyes were astonishingly bright, always carrying a kind of exuberant energy that made people feel uncomfortable and weird.
Luo Qi frowned unconsciously, nodded and said to Ke Ji and others: “Okay, then let’s find a place to stay nearby.
Luo Qi and the others brought a tent, but it was only big enough for the four of them to squeeze in. He said to Lu Liran and the others: “You go into the tent and rest.”
“You need this tent more.” Lu Liran said, “If there is a mirror, you can take a good look at your current appearance.”
Luo Qi choked when he heard this. He knew that they must be in a bad state at this time.
He had no choice but to nod and did not shirk anything else hypocritically.
Ah Kang and the man followed the professor and worked together to set up the tent, while Luo Qi lit the fire.
Lu Liran and Ke Ji cut many twigs on the spot to build a platform half a meter above the ground.
Luo Qi didn’t know what Lu Liran and the others were going to do, so he came over and asked if he needed help.
“I don’t need any help here.” Lu Liran said, “Maybe you can look around to see if there is anything edible around here.”
Luo Qi responded and called Ah Kang.
When Professor Nan saw that the two of them were planning to leave, he said: “I’ll go with you.”
“Just stay in the tent and have a good rest, and don’t cause trouble.” Luo Qi said in a bad tone.
Professor Nan’s expression did not change when he heard this, and he just nodded in good temper and said: “Okay then.”
He sat peacefully in the tent, looking like he never caused trouble.
Luo Qi glanced at him, he said nothing, and just walked away with his team member.
Not long after Luo Qi and Ah Kang walked away, there was a slight movement in the tent. Soon, another survivor following Professor Nan hurried out of the tent with a somewhat panicked tone: “Professor Nan! There seems to be something wrong with Professor Nan! Come and take a look!”
“Mao Mu? What’s going on?” Jiang Kun stood up immediately after hearing this, he stopped messing with his hammock, and walked quickly to the tent.
Lu Liran narrowed his eyes slightly when he saw this, and after saying something to Ke Ji, he also ran over quickly.
The man called “Mao Mu” was the “supervisor” who was sent as an assistant by the Fangye Group in their previous group. He is also the only survivor except Jiang Kun and the professor.
When Mao Mu saw Jiang Kun and Lu Liran walking over, he was as excited as if he had seen a savior. He said incoherently: “Professor Nan…”
Before he finished speaking, the tent was opened from the inside, and Professor Nan walked out with the same gentle smile as before: “I heard my name, were you calling me?”
Professor Nan’s expression was not abnormal at all, but made Mao Mu’s panic seem inexplicable.
Mao Mu’s face turned pale again and again, and when he met the professor’s mild smiling gaze, he trembled fiercely, as if he was frightened.
Jiang Kun frowned and looked at the professor and asked: “What were you doing in there just now?”
“I didn’t do anything.” Professor Nan showed some confusion and asked, “What happened to Mao Mu?”
He looked at Mao Mu.
Everyone’s eyes were focused on Mao Mu. His face was pale, his lips were trembling, and he looked at Professor Nan in disbelief.
After a while, Mao Mu pursed his lips, he shook his head and said solemnly: “It’s nothing.”
Jiang Kun frowned and looked at Mao Mu and then at Professor Nan. He intuitively felt that the professor was hiding something from them.
He lowered his face, pulled Mao Mu and asked: “What on earth did you see? Don’t tell me such nonsense as ‘nothing’. If it were really ‘nothing’, would you look as if you had seen a ghost?”
Mao Mu swallowed, and he couldn’t help but stare at the professor again.
Professor Nan laughed softly and said: “What are you looking at me for? You can say whatever you want. I also want to know what you saw.”
Mao Mu shook his head subconsciously.
Jiang Kun spat dejectedly, he cursed secretly and ignored it: “You like to talk but don't talk.”
Mao Mu remained silent and sat beside the campfire alone, while Professor Nan smiled gently at everyone, he turned around and returned to the tent.
A corner of the tent was opened. Lu Liran glanced at it, his eyes trembled slightly, and he saw that the tent seemed to be filled with brown debris, but he couldn’t tell what they were.
The tent was quickly put down, blocking Lu Liran’s sight.
Jiang Kun noticed Lu Liran looking at the other side of the tent. He walked to Lu Liran and lowered his voice: “You’d better not worry too much about that professor.”
Lu Liran looked at him: “Why?”
“He was once expelled from the Desolate Star Scientific Research Association for unknown reasons. Such people are usually not good people.” Jiang Kun explained.
“You know him very well.” Lu Liran said.
Jiang Kun nodded openly and admitted: “After all, I have to be on the same team as him.”
He continued: “After he was kicked out of the association, he disappeared from everyone’s sight for a while. No one knew where he went or what he did until he appeared on this mission. ”
Jiang Kun spoke quickly and softly:
“His name is Nan Guo. The first time we met was at the mission meeting before departure. He was still coughing up blood, but he insisted on entering the Ghost Forest Swamp himself.”
“Then three days later, on the day we officially set off, I saw him. He suddenly looked like a normal person. He didn’t look as weak as he had been coughing up blood three days ago.”
Lu Liran raised his eyebrows when he heard this: “Three days? What a big change?”
Jiang Kun shrugged his shoulders: “No special medicine can have such a magical effect, right? But he just got better.”
“But no matter what he used, I can guarantee that there will be sequelae. I’ve seen him shivering non-stop in the sweltering daytime heat like that in the swamp, wearing a particularly thick padded jacket.” Jiang Kun looked at Lu Liran.
Lu Liran nodded slightly thoughtfully, then looked at Mao Mu, he raised his chin slightly, then gestured to Mao Mu, and asked Jiang Kun: “What do you think he saw?”
“He looks like has seen a ghost, only the ghost knows.” Jiang Kun said indifferently.
Although he also wanted to know what happened just now, he also knew that a person like Mao Mu was timid and egoistic. If he refused to tell, he would not tell even if he was beaten to death.
He was too lazy to spend any time on Mao Mu.
He said to Lu Liran: “Anyway ah, since you are not involved in the events of this mission, stay as far away from Nan Guo as possible and don’t interfere. I can’t help it, I’ve been entangled with them for a long time and it’s a mess.”
Lu Liran shook his head and looked at Jiang Kun with his lips raised: “I was already involved when I picked up that camera bag.”
If the Prof would like to die I wouldn’t object
Remember in the dessert when someone kept a bug egg or whatever that they shouldn’t? What crazy dangerous thing does this prof have?
This is an interstellar fic right? Is the professor parasitised? Gu? Zergs? Short term efficient-long term deadly symbiote?
🥰🥰 thank youuuu
