Chapter 24: Simply a Rogue

Chi Wan shuddered and let go of his two little hands.

The next second, the motorcycle crashed heavily to the ground, and she was pushed forward by the powerful inertia, and her little hand grabbed forward again.

This time she saw it clearly.

She held one ball in each hand, just enough to grab a quarter of him.

The strength of the little hand was not light, and the area it hit was extremely sensitive, so Shen Yu's white tiger spirit body was almost stimulated.

His face was red and black, his jaw was tense, he held the faucet handle firmly and braked suddenly.

Chi Wan, who wanted to let go again, fell backward again under the force of the emergency brake.

The hand that was half loosened wanted to grab something again in a hurry.

What a coincidence, almost...

Chen Yu groaned, and for a moment a tingling sensation like an electric current spread throughout his body, accompanied by an unknown and unfamiliar numbness.

He looked down at Chi Wan, who looked innocent, in disbelief, and his handsome face suddenly turned red.

He kicked off the frame, and the spirit behind him suddenly emerged.

The huge white tiger blocked out the sun like a huge mountain, staring at her with bared teeth and a ferocious look on its face.

Chi Wan was so scared that he didn't dare to speak. He put his hands on the car's fuel tank and tried to move backwards.

"get off."

He almost gritted his teeth, and his fierce look was cold and sharp.

Chi Wan got off the car obediently.

Looking at Shen Yu who stepped off the motorcycle with his long legs.

He was wearing a white casual combat suit made of high-quality fabric. The noble temperament nurtured by his large family over the years allowed him to maintain his composure as much as possible even when he was furious.

He walked towards her step by step.

He took a step forward, and she took a step back.

Until he retreated to a big tree and had nowhere to go.

Chi Wan admitted his mistake and immediately began to apologize:

“I’m sorry, you…”

As he spoke, he looked at his chest:

"Does it hurt..."

The voice grew quieter as he spoke.

The harsh words were caught off guard and stuck in his throat. Shen Yu's ears turned even redder at her very presumptuous gaze.

He turned sideways, slowly closed his eyes to calm his anger, and then whispered:

"Jane, straight, is a hooligan."

Chi Wan pouted, feeling aggrieved.

She is not.

"You can walk the rest of the way by yourself."

He would never allow her to get in his car again.

Without looking at her anymore, the boy drove away mercilessly on his motorcycle. Chi Wan stood there helplessly in the dust.

[Hey, host, don't be afraid. Chen Yu is the softest-hearted of the male protagonists. He'll just scare you. The City of Thorns is just over 700 meters ahead.]

…

When Chi Wan arrived outside the City of Thorns, two light armored vehicles arrived shortly after.

The captain of the sentinel guarding the City of Thorns saw Shen Yu and his group and immediately came forward to greet them as if they had seen a savior.

"The Federation has already told me the general situation. Time is short, so I'll explain it while you lead the way."

"good!"

The sentry captain said this, looking at Chi Wan, whose silver hair was very conspicuous at the back of the crowd:

"Hey, it's Guide Chi Wan."

"That's great! As an SSS-level guide, you're willing to condescend to come and help us. Thank you!"

The sentry captain stepped forward with gratitude, placed his right hand on his left chest, bowed and saluted as a sentry.

"Don't be so polite. As a registered guide of the alliance, this is what I should do."

Chi Wan felt a little ashamed for coming here to purify the stone. She silently decided that in addition to finding the stone, she must also try her best to help them.

The group followed the sentinel captain into the city.

In this captured small town, many sentinels and ordinary humans came and went.

Ordinary humans are different from sentinels, all of them wear a full set of oxygen protection equipment.

"After the capture of Thorn City, the Federation dispatched over 30,000 ordinary humans, 3,000 sentinels, two A-level guides, and 30 medical personnel to collaborate in mining for available resources.

but……

Everyone's pollution levels keep rising incredibly fast for no apparent reason."

The Sentinel Captain said as he synchronized the data to everyone's optical computers:

"Commander Chen Yu, I've synchronized the data for you. Take a look. This is the statistics of the pollution level changes of all sentinels over the past half month."

Chi Wan followed the large group while looking at his computer.

It was seen that the contamination rate of the sentinels reached five times the normal rate.

"Especially in the past few days, there have always been sentries that have been completely contaminated inexplicably at night. Last night, three of them were killed and eleven were contaminated!"

"Purification agents are already precious, and the contamination is spreading at this rate. The Federation has issued a notice, giving us two days to find the source. If we don't find the source, we'll have to abandon this city."

"All resources in the city will be rendered useless by then."

The captain said, and then added as if he had thought of something:

"By the way, Commander, I have another piece of information that may or may not be valuable."

Meeting Chen Yu's attentive gaze, the sentry continued:

"Every day, everyone inevitably loses some things, but the amazing thing is that once you lose them, you can never find them again."

It was getting dark at this moment.

Visibility dropped rapidly under the polluted fog.

The sound of the wind and sand made the situation described by the sentinel captain gradually move towards a weird direction.

Chi Wan inevitably thought of the horror ghost stories of the 21st century.

In this world, there is no such thing as horror stories, because reality is the biggest horror story, with bloody violence and weird and deformed mutants everywhere.

At night, there are ghosts in the true sense of the word in this world - polluted ghosts.

"We've searched the city inside and out more than once, and we haven't found even a single low-level contaminant, let alone a high-level one."

After the sentry captain finished speaking, Shen Yu spoke calmly:

"Got it. I'll be on duty tonight."

The sentry captain stopped when he heard this. He looked at Shen Yu with a nervous expression:

"Commander, do you mean to pollute the ghost?

But...how could a normal polluted ghost have the ability to increase the pollution values ​​of so many sentinels so quickly?"

The captain of the sentinels expressed not questions but fear.
