"Commander? Why back so soon? Have they been cured already...?"
As the helicopter touched down, UMP9 dashed forward, but upon seeing UMP40 emerging from the cabin with a face on the verge of tears, UMP9 immediately held back her words.
Clearly, they hadn't been cured!
"Commander! Is it because that doctor didn't treat them properly!? Should we go and beat him up?" UMP9 turned to Renault, who had just descended from the helicopter along with UMP40 and the others.
"Why resort to violence? What's going on in your head? Treating ELID infection isn't something that can be done easily."
Or rather, it couldn't be done anywhere.
Of course, it was unclear whether it truly couldn't be cured or if certain individuals were covering up the treatment methods for their own benefit.
But that was irrelevant to the current situation. Instead of wasting time pondering whether those people had any treatment methods, it was better to quickly have the tactical dolls at home recall if they had seen Big Orange eating anything strange.
Clap clap!
Renault clapped his hands. "Let's put aside what we're doing for now. Everyone, think back over the past few days. Did you see Big Orange eat anything unusual? Those who weren't present, inform us through the communication protocol."
"Huh? Big Orange?" Hearing Renault's words, the group of tactical dolls couldn't help but tilt their heads in confusion. Then, they saw Renault reach out and directly open the lid of Big Orange's quarantine box.
Big Orange inside the quarantine box jumped out directly, landing on the ground looking completely unaffected by any radiation, even leisurely stretching.
Seeing this scene, MG3 didn't think much of it at first. After all, since these cats arrived home, Big Orange had always been this lazy.
But then she realized... This wasn't the previous indoor environment! There wasn't even a quarantine area to isolate Collapse radiation! Yet Big Orange was completely fine!?
Could it be that the pollution index in this area had dropped?
Thinking of this, MG3 immediately took out the device she usually used to monitor the breeding farm...
"Air pollution, severe pollution, danger!"
In less than half a second, the monitoring device displayed the current pollution situation in the air.
"This? This can't be possible, right? Since when do cats have radiation immunity?"
There had indeed been individuals among humans who could be immune to collapse radiation, which she naturally knew about, but among animals...
She had never heard of any animal being completely oblivious to it like Big Orange.
Normal animals exposed to this level of pollution would develop ELID in a few minutes, then become severe patients in a few more minutes.
If they didn't receive treatment within half an hour, they would become severely infected. Of course, after animals became infected, their mobility would decrease significantly, and within a dozen hours, their entire bodies would petrify, turning into inconspicuous blocks of silicon.
"It's probably not immunity. It seems like it ate something. Quickly, think about whether Big Orange ate anything unusual these days," Renault continued.
Unlike humans who needed to ponder, as tactical dolls, MG3 and the others could recall their memories at any time, and the images in their memories were extremely clear. After all, these memories were stored in their neural clouds like recordings.
The process of recalling memories by the tactical dolls didn't even take five minutes. Nagant Revolver arrived at the door and asked Renault.
"Commander? Are those wheat shoots grown by Simonov considered strange?"
"Of course they are. Did Big Orange eat those wheat shoots?"
That didn't seem very likely. Those wheat shoots were all raw, and they even had a strong smell of alcohol, obviously not something a cat could easily ingest.
"No, but it did drink a lot of liquid squeezed from the wheat. When AK47 was carrying them, she almost tripped over, and a lot of liquid spilled out of the barrel, which Big Orange probably drank a lot of." As Nagant Revolver spoke, she lifted the lazy Big Orange into her arms.
"That liquid? That should be it. UMP40, take a few cats with you. I'll go get some samples..."
"Commander!" Before Renault could finish his sentence, CF05's voice also rang out from the door. "Commander, that day I saw Big Orange eating lettuce in the kitchen!"
"Lettuce?"
They did have quite a lot of it, but could eating that make them immune to collapsing radiation? If other humans in the world knew this news, wouldn't they be ecstatic?
No injections, no medicine, no need to exercise, just eating a piece of lettuce could make them immune to collapse radiation? This was a blessing that couldn't be attained in eight lifetimes!
"Was it raw or cooked?"
"Raw!"
Upon hearing CF05's words, Renault scratched his head. He initially thought there was only one thing, but now another vegetable had come up...
Just as he was about to suggest bringing both types of samples and making them into liquid to feed the three cats, NZ75 suddenly rushed out, holding a jade-green pepper in her hand.
"Commander! I saw it! I saw Big Orange eating peppers!"
"Huh?"
"And spinach!"
"And cucumbers!"
As NZ75 started it off, almost one doll after another ran out of the house, reporting the vegetables grown in the vertical farm like they were listing dishes.
Renault's mouth stayed wide open in astonishment...
Was this really a cat's diet?
Thinking this, Renault couldn't help but cast a reproachful glance at Jaeger.
How did this girl feed the cat on weekdays? Was it necessary for this fellow to eat so many different kinds of things!?
Feeling Renault's resentment in his gaze, Jaeger suddenly felt a little embarrassed and looked up at the sky, appearing absent-minded.
"Um... Commander, that day when I took those wheat shoots that grew too fast to grind, this fellow seemed to have taken a few bites..." After the tactical dolls stopped reporting, even AK47 hesitated and raised her hand to speak.
To be honest, if she hadn't just reviewed her memories, she wouldn't have noticed that Big Orange took a bite out of the wheat shoots while she wasn't paying attention.
"What did you do with those ground wheat shoots?"
At these words from MG3, Renault raised his hand. "I fed them to the cows and sheep..."
Hearing this, Renault was stunned. "Did you ever try to see if those cows and sheep could be immune to collapse radiation?"
"No..."
Who would have thought that eating these things would make animals immune to collapsing radiation? Moreover, there were only a few cows and sheep at home, and she couldn't bear to expose them to the contaminated environment.
