Chapter 2022 The Wood-Dwelling Alien Who Refuses to Give Up

"Based on the intelligence we have so far, Lucia's younger brother Zara should have been placed in the Chifeng Mountain area by the Muzhen aliens."

In the operations command center, Gu Chen stood in front of the large screen and spoke to the GUTS team.

Megumi nodded. With Gu Chen as someone she could communicate with Lucia, the progress of understanding the situation was immediately accelerated.

Without delay, the GUTS team immediately convened a strategic meeting to prepare to bring Lucia's younger brother, Zara, back to headquarters for protection.

In this process, the factor of the Muzhen aliens must naturally be taken into account.

Based on Lucia's testimony and what Daigo Madoka and Rena Nanase saw and heard, the members of Team GUTS have enough evidence to prove that the Mokujin aliens are indeed an evil cosmic race, just as Lucia said.

After a brief discussion, the members of Team GUTS reached a consensus: to eliminate the uninvited Muzhen aliens as much as possible, so that humanity on Earth could not suffer the terrible fate that Lucia and her companions had.

Soon, the action plan was discussed and completed. Gu Chen, along with Zong Fangcheng and others, immediately piloted the Victory Flying Swallow to the Chifeng Mountain area to carry out search and rescue operations for Zhala.

Because Gu Chen's communication skills were needed, Kijima Hui directly handed over command to Gu Chen for this operation.

Although in previous operations involving Gu Chen, command would inexplicably shift to him, this time it was authorized by Megumi Kijima, making the situation fundamentally different.

Gu Chen could only smile and remain silent in the face of Ju Jianhui's arrangement, and immediately led the main force to set off.

Time is of the essence; if they arrive too late, Zara might be killed by the Muzhen aliens.

So in no time, Gu Chen and the others arrived at Chifeng Mountain. They left Nanase Rena and Horii Masami to pilot the Victory Flying Swallow No. 2 aircraft to keep watch in the air, while the others landed on the ground to carry out search and rescue operations.

"Before the Muzhen aliens find us, let's immediately begin the search and rescue operation."

"Lina, you are responsible for aerial surveillance. If you spot any unidentified objects approaching, attack them immediately without hesitation, understand?"

On the ground, Gu Chen began assigning tasks.

"understand!"

Inside the Victory Flying Swallow 2, Nanase Rena responded earnestly.

"Alright, let's move out!"

At Gu Chen's command, everyone immediately began to move.

The ground forces involved in this operation were all physically fit, thus maximizing their operational capabilities.

At each stop, everyone shouted Zara's name and used detection equipment to see if they could find her whereabouts.

It's just that time is a bit tight. Otherwise, Masami Horii would have liked to try to figure out if she could receive the signal from the bracelets that the Mujin aliens gave to Lucia and Zashi. That way, she could find Zara faster instead of using the most cumbersome method as she is now.

But no matter how clumsy the method was, it still had some effect.

Upon hearing Gu Chen and the others' shouts, Zhala, who was hiding in Chifeng Mountain, hesitated for only a moment before rushing towards them.

After all, on this unfamiliar planet, apart from Lucia, who was also dropped there, no one would know his name.

The only possibility is that the group calling his name had already been in contact with Lucia, which is why they knew his name.

In any case, it couldn't possibly be a Muzhen alien, since a hunter wouldn't care about the name of his prey.

……

"Zara!"

After moving forward a short distance, Daigo Madoka placed his hands around his mouth to form a megaphone shape and then shouted Zara's name loudly.

"Swish, swish, swish..."

The next second, a sound came from the bushes nearby, the sound of something moving and rubbing against the bushes.

Upon hearing the commotion, Gu Chen and the others immediately looked up.

Then, Zara cautiously emerged from the bushes, her gaze towards the group filled with both wariness and curiosity.

"Zara, I am your sister Lucia. She asked me to come and save you."

Seeing this, Gu Chen immediately spoke up.

"Lucia?! How is she?"

Upon hearing Gu Chen's words, Zara's wariness immediately dissipated, and she immediately became concerned about Lucia's situation.

"She's alright. She was rescued by this Daigo member when she was being chased by the Muzhen aliens, and she's currently recuperating at our headquarters."

Gu Chen gave Zara a reassuring answer, then patted Lucia's savior on the shoulder and introduced him to Zara.

Upon hearing this, Zara immediately looked at Daigo Madoka, who had a blank expression, then bowed deeply and said gratefully, "Thank you so much for saving my sister."

Looking at Zara, who was making rather large movements in front of him, Daigo Madoka's expression became even more bewildered.

Different civilizations and different races have vastly different ways of expressing gratitude, so it's perfectly normal that Daigo Madoka doesn't understand it.

Gu Chen immediately explained to him, "He is thanking you for saving Lucia's life."

Madoka Daigo then realized what was happening and belatedly waved his hand, saying, "You're welcome, it's what I should do."

Although they couldn't understand what Daigo Madoka was saying, Zara, like Lucia, could feel a reassuring aura emanating from him.

Moreover, after learning of her sister Lucia's safety, Zara, who had been on high alert and constantly on edge, finally showed a relaxed smile.

Seeing that the exchange was nearly complete, Zongfang Chengyi said, "Advisor, let's send Zara back to headquarters to reunite with Lucia first. As for the Muzhen aliens, we'll talk about them later."

Gu Chen nodded. Perhaps because the Muzhen aliens discovered their actions, they did not pursue and kill Zara as in the original story.

At this moment, no one knows where the Muzhen aliens are hiding.

Therefore, given the current situation, unless the Muzhen aliens suddenly launch an attack on them, they will have to take a long-term approach.

Gu Chen then explained their next move to Zara, which immediately earned Zara's strong approval.

Soon after Zara was picked up and put on the Victory Flying Swallow No. 2, the group immediately returned to headquarters.

Little did they know that, in the shadows, a pair of eyes were fixed on the Victory Swallow until it disappeared into the horizon before withdrawing their menacing gaze.

Gu Chen guessed correctly. After discovering the GUTS team's actions, the Muzhen aliens immediately stopped their hunting of Lucia and Zara.

Because the Muzhen aliens had clashed with Yuan Daigu before, they knew that there was a group of intelligent life forms on this planet capable of opposing them.

Out of caution, and also because of the hunting customs of the Muzhen Star People, they decided to observe the situation first.

But one thing is certain: he will not give up this hunting trip.
