(Michael's POV)
Ok, we are back on the surface. We got Denzel to rest in the safe shallow base, and now the female camp helping Symor out to heal up Denzel.

"It should be fine with this. Once he wakes up, we link up in the primary containment facility. So you guys should wait around and keep an eye while killing time. The five remaining males will find stuff to make the hatching enzymes." - Symor
"Ok!" - Female Camp
"Phew, he's alive. Now we won't have to worry about fighting against that huge sea dragon." - Karl
"I agree there Karl, the rearguard will have trouble without the vanguard after all." - Mecole
"Still, why are we going for the cure first instead of killing the sea dragon."
"Well, we lost due to warpers correct?" - Symor
"What do you mean?"
"You we're teleported right into its face and nearly got stabbed, which ended where you were too late and unable to dodge the meteor." - Symor

"I see, they only target infected specimen huh?"

Now that I've said that, everyone finally gets it.

"For the cure, we got two places with a huge hint on. Bulb bush samples, they are probably from the Koosh Zone. The Fungal sample in Mushroom Forests. As for the Eyes Plant Seed, the Ghost Weed Seed, and the Sea Crown Seed, I am unsure where they are right now. We have to search every biome in this planet without going onto the Dead Zone." - Symor

"Roger!" - Male Camp

"We all should split up to get the highest possible efficiency. I do not know how long this will take but, for now we will return after 10 days." - Symor

"I see, so it will be troublesome after all."


The search began...

Ok guys, I will begin in the caves in the safe shallows, Symor will head straight to the Koosh Zone, Jake went to a Mushroom Forest, Mecole went right into the lost river, and Karl went into a the most dangerous place: The Dunes.

Wandering aimlessly while being careful to what I am looking for.

It seems though that there is nothing in this biome. I should check the kelp forest to check if there is one of them around.

After a while of searching...

'Damn, it's hard to travel around because of the drooping stingers!'

It's hard being poisoned a whole lot because of the amount of space you have to get through.

But after a long time of searching around I finally found something.

"I should scan this."

After Scanning...

Eye Stalk, then I should take a whole lot of seeds for the reward.

I returned to the base...

"Gah, found one out of five."

"Guys Medicine." - Chelsea

"Here." - Vina

"Denzel's awake Michael, he can't leave his spot but he can play UNO or board games just fine." - Shameah

"Well then, I'll rest for now and play chess with him."

After days and days of searching.

"Ugh, I got Eye Stalk Seeds and nothing else."

"Searching for them is just difficult huh. I only got the Fungal Samples." - Jake

"The Sea Crown was scary. As soon as I got out, the leviathans came after me." - Karl

"Ghost Weed Seeds are a pain in the ass since they blend in to the environment of the lost river." - Mecole

"I'm back, I got all the needed stuff." - Symor

"..." - All five of us

"Meh, let's make multiple just in case we lost some or broke other bottles." - Symor

Symor uses the fabricator to create the hatching enzymes. After a while...

"Guys, this is our only hope on this present time. The future will rely on how we deal with the leviathan and curing ourselves." - Symor

"Let's put the finishing blow now guys." - Denzel
