Chapter 145 Her Weapon

Temporarily mark Si Jue... A dim and ambiguous picture flashed through Lilith's mind. She looked away and wanted to refuse politely.

"The exploration team won't be going out on missions these days, I think..."

"I don't know if it's because of the combination of passion and injury, but my mental state has always been a little unstable. Captain Weir must have noticed this and wanted to politely let me go."

The silver-haired boy lowered his head in frustration, looking like a weak animal soaked in the rain. Although he was huge, he seemed dependent when he sat at Lilith's feet.

"It's okay. If you feel embarrassed, it's okay to reject me."

Being stared at by those red eyes, Lilith found it difficult to say no, but she still tried to struggle.

"But, maybe you don't know, when you were injured and unconscious, I also tried to comfort you, but you were very resistant."

Lily spoke without any guilt, and Si Jue's eyes became dim in her clear and transparent vision. For a moment, she felt that he was like a hunter waiting for his prey.

"Oh, sorry, I wasn't conscious at the time. Did I hurt you?"

The young man stretched his hand forward slightly, and Lilith's fingertips were grasped in his palm. He lowered his head slightly, brought his lips closer, and under her vigilant gaze, he turned around and gently rubbed them.

This distance was too close. Si Jue was not the type to let down his guard towards a strange guide.

Just when Lilith was suspicious of his intention, Si Jue gently released her hand and stood up.

"You seem a little uneasy and resistant. It's my fault. If my joining the exploration team embarrasses you, I will ask Captain Weir to revoke the decision."

He looked very lost, but Lilith had no intention of comforting him. She just watched him leave. The moment the door closed, she buried herself in the quilt.

"Ah, I don't understand. Did you find it or not?"

Try it out? Lilith thought about it and gave up the idea. If the enemy doesn't move, I won't move either, lest she be the one to reveal her flaws.

The most important thing now is not whether her identity will be exposed or not. Anyway, she and Louis have reached a deal. Even if her identity is exposed, the other party will not do anything to her for a while.

She first needs to figure out what's going on with the space in the contaminated area. Do the two worlds intersect, or are they originally the same, just with different timelines?

The latter thought was too terrifying, and Lilith was reluctant to think about it.

Being bored, she turned on her laptop and saw a series of messages from Qi Hanxing.

Professor Xie asked me if I had actually sent you back to your room. That's too much. Am I such an unreliable person in his eyes?

The people in the Exclusion Group are not easy to get along with. They all seem so superior. We're all just sentinels, so what's so great about that?

"Captain Will always gives me the impression of a smiling tiger. How scary. By the way, R, can you guys on the exploration team get along better? I heard you're short on people, how about I fill in!"

Lilith thought, with Qi Hanxing's single cell, even if she stayed by her side, she probably wouldn't be able to find anything. She was much safer than Si Jue.

She was about to agree when she saw the next sentence he sent.

[Ahhh, Captain Weir submitted his application so quickly! Si Jue requested to withdraw it, but was ruthlessly rejected. Why can only one person be added?]

[Forget it. Shen Jiaxu is in the Exploration Team, and that's pretty scary too. I'd better go and ask Professor Xie if he can get me over to the Weapons Team.]

[Oh, Si Jue seems to have something to talk to me about. I won’t say anymore!]

Even though Lilith hadn't replied a single word, Qi Hanxing could chat animatedly, leaving a screen full of text before disappearing.

Lilith was a little helpless, so she just sent an "I know" emoji and poked Robbins's profile picture.

[Captain, are you okay? Do you need psychiatric treatment?]

It stands to reason that the captain couldn't be asleep at this moment, but Lilith still hadn't received a reply.

She could only poke her head out from under the quilt again, her disguise gone, now she was her truest self.

After reaching level A, just slightly changing the hair and eye color will not consume too much mental energy. If you don't do anything extra, it can last for about twelve hours.

The exploration team also works for twelve hours... It doesn't matter, she can work a little harder and let them finish earlier.

In addition to the mental barrier, mental purification, treatment, and ability amplification that she had already mastered, Lilith also discovered one thing.

Elderberry branches sprouted from beside her, quickly covering the walls, floor, and ceiling of the room. Originally not vines, they now twisted and swayed under Lilith's control, becoming more flexible and more controlled by her will.

Maybe she could have other means of attack besides piercing. After all, the monsters in the contaminated area would not be hurt by ordinary mental attacks.

The brown tree stem bent into a bow in her hand, and the thinner branches became flexible bowstrings. She placed her fingertips on top and pulled back in the void. Clusters of white and golden flowers flew out like arrows from a bow.

"Bang!"

The flower hit the only gap in the wall with great force, and exploded the moment it touched the target. After the sound of breaking through the air, it made a subtle "crackling" sound like a gorgeous firework.

The branches slowly retracted and everything returned to normal, leaving only a dent half a finger joint long on the originally white wall, like a bullet hole.

"It seems to be quite powerful."

Lilith's eyes suddenly lit up. After all, the defense level of the guide hut was quite high. Even if an S-class sentry attacked with all their strength, the noise would only be slightly louder than what she had just made.

With this method, at least Lilith doesn't have to hide behind her teammates when she encounters those pollutants.

"But accuracy still needs practice. It's a pity that we can't directly simulate the structure of a gun and fire a bullet."

Unexpectedly, one day, she would have to learn archery. Lilith tapped her aching leg and began searching for relevant knowledge on the Star Network.

However, there are very few tutorials about cold weapons on the Internet. She searched a lot, but all she found were either false popular science articles or comments criticizing the uselessness of cold weapons.

How is she going to practice if this continues?

No, although most of the weapons outside are firearms, there is someone in the marching army who can ask her for advice. The other person is familiar with the use of almost all weapons.

Instead of searching around like a headless fly, it is better to ask professionals directly.

Lilith sent a message to Xie Huan with a smile.

【Professor Xie, I have something I would like to ask for your help.】
