3 Meeting Locals - Part 2

"They sure are big Felines."

There are 7 Felines in front of me. Each has a height of 1 meter and is 2 meters long. Their canine teeth protruded with red glints. They have black jet fur with four red eyes, two on each side.

In front of those felines, are two male dead bodies, a woman on the verge of collapsing while holding a shield and a sword, and a girl on the verge of death behind her.

The situation is as clear as day. They need help, and I am the help.

"The Galacticum Animal Reservation will kill me if they found out." I filled the proton gun with ammunition and shot them one by one.

The Proton goes through the feline's body, it tore them cleanly with a hole.

"Whoops, I forgot they are not Bugs with hard carapace carbon skin. Need to tune down the gun later."

Suddenly the biggest in the pack, probably the leader, set its eyes on me. It chases me with fire breath, burning my body. Thankfully my mission suit is heat-resistant, only a bit of my hair is burned.

Once it jumped on me, I shot it only once right to the abdomen through the backbone.

When the three felines left alive saw their leader pack is dead, they run away immediately with tails tucked between their legs.

I touched the carcasses.

[Began to scan]

[86 percents similarities with the Tourer in Rhodent Planet, 23-F Solar system]

"86 percent in Rhodent, huh? I guess we need to be careful around here." I checked my ammunition. The indicator downed to 980 from 995. "Need to preserve the ammunition too."

[The Light on this planet is suitable for the Solar Converter Ammunition. Major can recharge easily]

"That's good news."

"###### #### ### ########." A Woman warrior stabbing his sword on the ground to hold his body. Spoke with a faint voice.

I don't understand a single word. However, I understand that she needs medical attention.

"Do not speak, I will treat you."

As I was trying to give her first aid, she dismissed my hand. She grabs my right hand weakly and aims it at the girl behind her.

"You want me to treat her first?" I give sign language, which I don't even understand.

She nodded. Perhaps she understood my intention.

So I begin to reach the unconscious girl. Blood still trickled from her shoulder. Her breaths are weak, barely even. Her situation is indeed dire. Immediately I splashed the first aid plasma into her open wound.

"Can she still be saved?"

[Suggesting. Cut open Major Cory's palm then touch her wound. The line of cut is projected from your Cornea]

"What?"

[Nia can repair cell of the target body, but need to be directly inserted]

"I see, fine. If it can save lives."

I bandaged my arm so it will not bleed too profusely. I took a deep breath for a minute. It is always hard to harm myself.

[I already blocked the pain receptor and controlled the blood flow]

"Tell me that first!" I slammed the bandage, feeling like an Idiot.

I cut open my palm and then touch the wound on her shoulder.

[Need permission to connect partially. Will you give permission?]

"Yes, do it."

[Partial Connection registered]

[Performing emergency cell repair]

[Synchronizing]

After about two minutes, the girl breathed normally.

[Command. Put Major Cory's blood inside her mouth and five tablets of Servax. Major Cory, swallow two tablets of Servax]

"Affirmative...wait." I just realized "She is unconscious how can she swallow those tablets?"

[...]

[Chew the tablet, mix with water, mouth to mouth]

"..."

I hope she is still unconscious.

I chew those tablets. A tablet is bitter enough to vomit it back. Now I need to chew five of them. I want to cry.

After those procedures, the girl's face color becomes normal again. I throw my butt to the ground and drink a lot of water to rinse my mouth from the bitterness.

"Now, it is your turn for treatment." I turned around.

To my dismay, the woman was already on the ground, with a face facing the girl. Drained face colored, and no more breath coming out from her nose.

I run out to her, placing my cut-open palms on her wound.

[It is too late, Major]

"I see. Please rest in peace." I closed her eyelids.

***** ***** *****

"Er...Erl...Erlin!" The girl screamed, and her body jumped from the thin sleeping pad.

I was dragging the bodies when suddenly the girl screamed. I walked fast toward her.

"You alright?"

When the girl saw me, she jumped from the ground and grabbed a stone near her. Her eyes are wild, ready to attack.

"Wait. Wait!"

"### ### ### (Who are you?), ### ### ####### ####### (Are you Seneval soldier?), ##### #### ###### ############ (Joker from Restan Principality?)"

"Calm down." I raised both my hands, showing that I am unarmed. "Nia, can you please translate? I also need to speak to her."

[Negative. Not enough data. Cannot Translate]

[Collecting language data in progress]

Ok, it does make sense. This is the first time I meet the original inhabitant of this planet. I just need to improve.

I showed her a sign to communicate.

"Your shoulder...Is it...Ok?" I rotate my right hand over my left shoulder.

The girl sees her left shoulder and just realized there is a clean bandage. Knowing I give no harm, the girl dropped the stone.

"Erlin, ##### ## Erlin (Where is Erlin?)." She said in a hurry. Her eyes widened.

"Erlin!" She stands in front of me. While swinging something in the air, then showing stand-like open arms.

"Err, Nia. Can you give me an Idea, of what she wants to tell me?"

[Answer. Perhaps she wants to know the whereabouts of her friends]

The realization just hit my head. However, I am in dilemma right now. It gives me a bad taste to be the one to show the death of someone's comrade.

I pointed in a direction with my finger, the location of her dead friends. Since her ankle is sprained, she cannot move too far. So I crouched down and shows her my back with both my hands on the back. I just offering her a piggyback.

She is dumbfounded while seeing me.

I pointed in that direction again. "I...Will...Lift...You... To Your...Friends."

I gave her a nonsense sign. As long as she agrees to get piggyback, it will be faster for both of us. She finally understood my meaning and showed a bit of reluctance. But still going with the plan.

We arrived at the body's location. I already made three grave pits, in each pit a body is resting.

The girls cried hysterically. She tried to reach the pit but I stopped her. Suddenly she is hugging me tightly. Hot tears trickled down my neck. Her body is shaking heavily.

I patted her back. I too, understand the pain of losing family.
