Chapter 39 The Marshal's Embrace Was Hard

It is Ning Shuyin.

How did she get involved in the battle? How did she know about the situation?

What was she basing her commands on?

Countless questions flashed through Situ Linchen's mind.

But the body's fighting instinct had overwhelmed everything.

Situ Linchen's beast-like intuition told him that a deadly crisis was approaching from behind!

Before he could even consider whether the warning was true or false, his right hand, gripping the particle blade, swung the sword back into his blind spot.

The flash of the sword was accompanied by the ear-piercing sound of metal cutting.

Two "Hunter" drones, which had just emerged from the ventilation ducts, were severed at the waist.

Situ Linchen already understood.

This reminder was not only timely, but also accurate.

"Marshal, their commander is on the platform at the two o'clock position."

Situ Linchen raised his gaze and looked at the platform through the hazy particle dust.

Without hesitation, he aimed one of the red floating cannons behind him in that direction.

"boom!"

The sound of metal cracking and popping filled the air.

The mechanical soldiers' attacks noticeably slowed down.

"Has the fleet navigator arrived?"

Loran, standing behind him, asked a question.

Loran was establishing an energy connection with Situ Linchen. As perceptive as he was, he naturally noticed that Situ's fighting style had changed.

It was no longer pure rage.

It possesses a kind of precise elegance that seems to "predict" things.

There is no other explanation for this situation except that there is a navigator directing from behind.

Situ Linchen neither confirmed nor denied it.

Under Ning Shuyin's incredibly precise guidance, combat efficiency increased several times over.

With minimal losses, they swept away the battlefield with overwhelming force.

However, just as the battlefield returned to calm...

A low, hoarse shout came from the communication channel.

"Situ Linchen, the top of your head, save me!"

Situ Linchen was startled and quickly looked up.

Ning Shuyin peeked out from the ceiling vent.

Her face was as pale as paper, as if she were about to faint at any moment.

Seeing Situ Linchen look up, she jumped down from the ventilation duct without hesitation.

Situ Linchen moved with incredible speed, leaping to her landing spot just before she touched the ground.

A muffled "bang" was heard.

Ning Shuyin was caught steadily in his arms.

However, the mecha worn by Situ Linchen was, after all, made of super alloy.

The impact still made Ning Shuyin wince in pain.

But the danger is not over yet.

A cutting blade suddenly appeared from the ventilation opening.

The "Energy Plague Apostle," its body crackling with blue electric arcs, also rushed down from the vent and crashed heavily to the ground.

"Sizzle—"

The piercing crackling of electricity caused several soldiers nearby to instinctively raise their weapons, preparing to close in and unleash a barrage of fire.

"Don't move."

Ning Shuyin lay in Situ Linchen's arms, using her last bit of strength to shout out a warning.

“We cannot attack it directly. This is an ‘Energy Plague Apostle.’ Once its energy core is destroyed, its internal modules will attack the consciousness of the superhuman.”

Ning Shuyin had suffered this torment not long ago.

As soon as she finished speaking, the soldiers around her were stunned.

But Situ Linchen did not hesitate at all.

The moment he heard the words "attack the sea of ​​consciousness," he immediately realized the danger of this machine.

He had suffered that kind of injury when he stormed into the mechanical beast's lair. The pain of being enveloped in blue arcs of electricity...

"Glacier, freeze it," he quickly ordered. "Don't damage the interior, take it back for research."

"Yes, Marshal!"

A lithe, blond figure emerged from the group.

This warrior, named "Glacier," was covered in a layer of visible white frost.

He pressed his hands to the ground, and an extremely low-temperature energy surged out like a tide.

Wherever the cold air passed, thick ice crystals formed on the metal ground.

The plague apostle that had just landed was frozen by the rapidly spreading ice, becoming an ice sculpture in an attack posture.

Seeing this, Ning Shuyin breathed a sigh of relief and lay completely exhausted in Situ Linchen's arms.

“Let me see her.” Lorraine stepped forward quickly and placed her hand on the side of her neck.

The girl in Situ Linchen's arms was as pale as snow and barely breathing.

Aside from some dust, she had no other injuries.

But when the ward exploded, Lorraine clearly saw that she had bruises on her face.

"Your injuries? You healed them yourself?" Loran asked coldly.

Ning Shuyin lowered her eyes weakly, her long eyelashes covering them, and did not answer him.

"Stop pretending." Seeing this, Loran snorted coldly.

"You look weak because you've overused your powers."

Loran reached out and grabbed Ning Shuyin's wrist: "You really did lie to me before."

Upon seeing Loran's actions, Situ Linchen's expression suddenly turned cold.

He frowned and forcefully pulled Luo Lan's hand off Ning Shuyin's wrist.

"Loran".

Situ Linchen's tone carried a warning.

"Don't touch her. I'll take her to the shelter to rest."

After saying that, Situ Linchen handed the scene over to his subordinates and carried Ning Shuyin to the ground.

Loran's eyes were unreadable, but he followed closely behind.

Ning Shuyin felt as if she were traveling through turbulent clouds. The sounds around her were sometimes clear and sometimes blurry.

She knew she was safe.

There is no doubt that Situ Linchen can provide a sense of security.

Along the way, she finally had the energy to review this thrilling life-or-death journey.

She never expected that she would awaken.

This is a scene not found in the novel.

With the aid of her A-level perception, countless chaotic clues began to automatically connect and come together.

A clear logical chain slowly unfolds.

The whole thing probably started with the "power activation device" that Loran forcibly used on her.

Her sea of ​​consciousness was originally a smooth piece of silk, but a thread was forcibly pulled out.

From that day on, the persistent headaches started to recur frequently.

Then, in the space station command center.

She drank the "Fountain of Life" that Muze poured for her.

When she first met Situ Linchen, the water she drank was no different from ordinary plain water.

But the second time she drank it, she experienced something strange. However, at the time, she suspected someone had tampered with the water, and she guessed wrong.

Later, Su Qianqian told her that people with superpowers would experience headaches before they awakened, and suggested that she take "spiritual leaf extract".

She did take it, and at the maximum dosage.

It turns out that there were signs all along.

Today, by a twist of fate, she recklessly used a "power plague" from the Machine Race as she lay dying.

If Loran's "forced stimulation" of her was like tearing a hole in her sea of ​​consciousness.

This "energy plague" turned this opening into a huge abyss, and just as it was about to retaliate, it exhausted its energy.

Ning Shuyin couldn't help but complain in her heart that the course of fate was too unpredictable.

Suddenly, her back touched the soft bed surface.

The comfortable touch brought her back to her senses.

"This is a public shelter, it's very safe," a male voice said.

Then, a glass of liquid was brought to her lips.

She looked up and met Situ Linchen's deep black eyes.

“Drink it,” he commanded.

It is the fountain of life.

This time, she didn't even need to savor it.

Simply by holding the cup, one can clearly feel its rich, galaxy-like energy.

She took a small sip.

A warm energy surged into my body, like spring rain irrigating parched earth.

No wonder he asked her "How is it?" when they first met.

Now, she can truly appreciate the effects of the drink.

The fountain of life, containing such abundant energy, is indeed precious.

Situ Linchen watched her drink the water, sip by sip.

"It seems you can taste it now."

He took the empty cup and continued:

"Ning Shuyin, now... give me an explanation."
