Chapter 42 Chapter 42 Chapter 42 (Updated)...

It was his first mission, and Luo Shi was a little nervous and a little excited.

For him, this is like an exam to test how well he has learned in school.

After quickly putting on the combat uniform, although he was already familiar with its functions these days, Luo Shizhen still quickly recited it again in his mind.

The meeting place was not at the school gate, but in a room next to the principal's office.

Chen Heyan and others were there, and saw Luo Shizhen wearing combat uniform, which showed off some muscle curves, and his trouser legs were tucked into his combat boots, forming a smooth curve.

He was wearing tactical glasses, and various weapons were inserted into each weapon slot on his waist according to regulations. Although the battle had not yet begun, he had already put one hand on his waist, maintaining a state of alert.

When he strode towards this side, his long legs, stretched tight by his combat uniform, were revealed, looking very powerful.

Chen Heyan looked at Luo Shizhen almost with admiration.

This child, who was a little shy and too gentle when he first entered the school, now looks like a complete guardian.

However, when Luo Shizhen got close, because he was trapped in his combat uniform, his voice was a little muffled, which made him "return to his original form".

"Hello, teacher."

Chen Heyan patted his shoulder: "Hello."

"Are you all ready? Are you nervous?"

Luo Shizhen nodded: "I'm ready, a little nervous."

"Don't be afraid, just treat it as a drill. The lethality of a first-level weirdo is about the same as the zombie you encountered before. If anything unexpected happens, the teacher in charge of protection will come out."

Luo Shizhen pursed his lips and carefully wrote down what the teacher said.

He then asked, "Teacher, are you the teacher responsible for protecting me and Lu Qiujin?"

Chen Heyan smiled and asked, "Do you hope it's me?"

Luo Shizhen nodded hard.

Chen Heyan placed his hands on his shoulders and gently pressed them:

"The teacher also hopes that you will be the student in charge, but this time we'll draw lots. Whoever gets picked will be chosen. Shi Zhen can pray in his heart that the teacher will pick your team."

Luo Shizhen immediately gave his blessings seriously.

"Okay, let's go to the space elevator."

Luo Shizhen widened his eyes slightly. He had learned about space teleportation elevators in a book. It said that it could be set up by a space awakener. As long as the space energy contained in it was enough, it could be teleported to any location.

But he had only read about it in books, and this was the first time he knew that there was one in school.

Luo Shizhen was only nineteen years old after all, so of course he was curious. The nervousness he felt when participating in a mission for the first time was instantly dissipated by this news, and he looked back curiously.

"Is the teleporter inside that classroom?"

Chen Heyan was not surprised by his reaction and said with a smile:

"Yes, you will be randomly teleported to any location in Nanhuafang. Your goal is to capture the first-level weird hiding there."

"All humans in Nanhuafang have been safely evacuated, so there is no hostage rescue mission. After capturing a first-level weird, you can kill it on the spot or capture it alive. It depends on the situation."

"As for what kind of monster this is and what its name is, it's up to you to discover it on your own. The only clue the school can give you is that it killed seventeen people."

Luo Shizhen turned on the recording function as soon as Chen Heyan started talking, and nodded while listening.

After Chen Heyan finished speaking, he patted his shoulder again and said, "Are you scared when you heard that the target of this mission is to kill seventeen people?"

"I'm not afraid."

Luo Shizhen said seriously: "The teachers will protect us from behind."

Chen Heyan smiled: "Okay, go ahead."

As he spoke, his gaze shifted from Luo Shizhen to Lu Qiujin, who had remained silent and stared at the two of them.

"Qiu Jin, be careful not to get hurt by anything weird."

Lu Qiujin nodded silently.

He added, "I will protect Shi Zhen."

"Okay, go ahead. When you come back, I'll tell you some good news."

Luo Shizhen and Lu Qiujin stepped into the room where the space elevator was placed.

Chen and Yan watched their figures disappear at the door and sighed.

Although we know that the children will grow up, these young awakeners will sooner or later become guardians and join the ranks of fighting against the weird.

But in the past, at least they would go to school for three years before graduating and then "go to the battlefield". Now the situation forces them to do so. Seeing them have to go into battle so early, Chen Heyan, as a teacher, feels really bad.

Lynch stood beside him and sighed.

Chen Heyan: "? Why are you sighing?"

Lin Qi: "Sigh, I can't follow Luo Shizhen. I want to develop a relationship with him."

Chen Heyan: "You must remember your identity. You are a teacher now."

Lynch: "I remember it, but a year later, I wasn't anymore."

Chen Heyan glanced at him and asked, "Did your captain go with him?"

"Let's go. Don't worry, the captain is here, nothing will happen to them."

Yes, the teacher of Luo Shizhen and Lu Qiujin’s team is Sui An.

Drawing lots was real, but their team was too special. After much deliberation, the principal directly assigned Sui An to join the team.

Putting aside how important Luo Shi’s purification ability is, the principal would rather get into trouble himself than let him get into trouble.

There is also Lu Qiujin.

Lu Qiujin has a tendency to be self-destructive. This does not mean that he wants to die, but rather that he does not reject being alienated into something weird, and even looks forward to it.

It is a very dangerous thing to let out an awakened person who is willing to transform into a weird person.

Because he may have already accepted the possibility that he would be alienated, and he also knew clearly that the awakened person after alienation would be killed on the spot.

He might find an opportunity to escape, or deliberately get contaminated and alienated by strange things outside.

Even though Lu Qiujin is only at the second level now, his talent sequence is strong. Once he is transformed, he will at least become a sixth-level weirdo.

The sixth-order strange lethality can destroy a small city.

Normally, Lu Qiujin should be under house arrest in the ward now, and he cannot go out until the contamination on his body is resolved.

As a result, now he is not only able to move freely, but also able to go out on missions with the team.

This was all achieved because the principal used his position to guarantee him.

Of course, Lynch also knew the inside story:

"I heard that your principal has issued a military order. If Lu Qiujin degenerates and escapes, he will voluntarily appear in court and bear all consequences for her."

Chen Heyan: "Yes, didn't you notice that the principal didn't show up? He can't leave the principal's office until Lu Qiujin returns safely."

Lin Qi shook his head: "Does he trust Lu Qiujin so much?"

No matter what Lu Qiujin pretended to be on the surface, the self-destructive tendencies that were detected would not deceive anyone.

Deep down in his heart, he longs for alienation and to be weird.

No awakened person with self-destructive tendencies has ever been successfully rescued.

Deep down in their hearts, they reject being rescued. Even if someone with great power is willing to contact them and use their abilities, they will be blocked.

Chen Heyan shook his head: "If it was in the past, the principal would not gamble, but Shi Zhen gave him too much hope."

"Xiao Shan, Chu Xiao, Ying Liu, he has only been in school for a few days, and he has already been able to purify three students. This has never happened before. Now Shi Zhen has taken the initiative to ask to team up with Lu Qiujin, hoping to purify Lu Qiujin. The principal also wants to know if he can do it."

Lynch: "But if he loses the bet, a military court awaits him."

Chen Heyan lowered his eyes. "He served as principal for twenty years. Excluding this class, he taught a total of 359 students. Of those, only 96 are still alive."

"For him, every student is someone he will never give up on. As long as there is a way, he will definitely give it a try."

Lynch was silent for a moment.

The mortality rate of Guardians has always been very high, especially in the first ten years, when due to lack of experience, the mortality rate reached almost 65%.

In the first ten years, there was no such thing as a school for awakeners, and there was no time for the awakeners to grow. Regardless of their talent, they could only rush forward, using stupid methods and brute force.

The first group of awakened people used this reckless fighting style to exchange for the next twenty years of peace for the Xia Kingdom.

Now, as Xia State has accumulated more and more experience and developed many targeted auxiliary combat technologies, the death rate has gradually decreased.

Most of the deaths of awakened people nowadays are not caused by fighting strange things, but because they are polluted and their bodies are alienated, so they choose to commit suicide or let the Inspectors kill them.

Most of the students in this school are exposed to pollution. For their teachers and principal, it means bringing out batches of students and then receiving news of their deaths one by one.

“It was torture.”

When Lin Qi thought about it, he felt that he couldn't bear it anymore.

"Isn't this why Captain Sui agreed to the principal's request?"

The two of them were instructors sent by their superiors. In terms of military rank, Sui An's was higher than the principal's.

Logically speaking, the principal cannot assign him any task.

"snort!"

A cold snort came from the principal's office next door.

Lin Qi was caught off guard and startled. He turned his head and found that the principal might have moved a stool and raised his head a bit, so he squeezed his head out from the window above the door with difficulty.

"Principal?? What are you doing?!"

The principal squeezed his head and said, "My students are going on a mission, and they won't let me leave the office. Can't I just watch from here?"

Lynch: "You just snorted at me, didn't you?"

The principal snorted, "I'm snorting at you because you don't know a great man. Your captain has been fighting since he was twelve. Who do you think taught him that?"

Lin Qi reacted and opened his eyes wide: "Our boss is also your student?"

"Of course, he's number 001, my first student. If I hadn't been able to assign him, I wouldn't have reported to the higher-ups asking for you two to come over."

The principal snorted, "I'm his teacher after all. I assigned him the task. How dare he disobey me?"

Lin Qi felt like he had caught some big news. He had never heard his boss talk about the past, let alone the teacher. Not only that, his parents, brothers and sisters had never mentioned it. Even during holidays, he would stay in the training room and never go anywhere else.

Sometimes, he even suspected that the leader had popped out from between the rocks.

The principal continued to hum.

Lin Qi: "Principal, what are you humming now?"

Principal: "Head stuck in the window."

Lin Qi: “…”

Chen Heyan held his forehead with his hand.

"What are you two standing there for? You have no sense at all! Come and save me!"
