Chapter 49 S-Rank Sentinel Jiang Mu

"But don't bring guns in, the mutants here can see us."

After Jiang Mu finished speaking, he turned around and stroked his white beast with a loving expression, "Good boy, you're great."

Not only did they find Zhou Tianqi, but they also brought Team Zero safely over.

The white beast was very happy to receive the praise, and its tail kept swishing back and forth.

It was enormous; only its large head squeezed through the window of the hot pot restaurant, while half of its body still occupied the sidewalk outside.

Its wagging tail accidentally lashed out at a few passing 'pedestrians'.

The person who was drawn immediately shattered, like a beautifully crafted porcelain doll, scattered in pieces on the ground, gradually disappearing into the earth below.

"Huh? The dark matter on you has decreased. No wonder my mental state has improved a lot these past two days..."

Jiang Mu continued to praise his own spiritual entity, "That's amazing, truly incredible..."

The main problem is overindulgence.

The entire Zero team had complicated expressions.

How can we describe their current feelings?

They rushed in exhausted from the rescue efforts, only to find a team of people sitting in the contaminated area eating hot pot...

Song Liang, in particular, was almost caught off guard by the White Beast and missed his teammates.

This thing spent a month playing around in the illusion barrier, completely forgetting about its business, and yet it still received praise?

If they hadn't shown up, would it be certain that it could find Zhou Tianqi?

Xie Tu got off the bus first.

A waiter from the hot pot restaurant approached with a smile and asked, "Hello, how many of you are there?"

"Six people," Xie Tu said calmly, stepping into the hot pot restaurant.

He adapted well, though.

The team members had no choice but to leave their guns in the car and make sure everything was okay before they dared to get out.

Yun Zhao was the last to appear.

The little bluebird stood on her head, craning its neck to peer inside.

Upon seeing her, apart from Jiang Mu, the other sentries were visibly surprised. "A guide?"

A guide with a strange face.

How did she end up in the contaminated area, wearing the combat uniform from Dawn Base?

Yun Zhao noticed their gazes, looked up and turned to look at Jiang Mu with a puzzled expression.

There is no other reason.

Because, before this, she had always thought Jiang Mu was a woman...

The spiritual entities of S-class Sentinels are all in a public state.

The white-haired beast is female.

She never imagined that the Sentinel and her own spiritual entity would have different genders.

The six men brought Zhou Tianqi in.

Once in the car, after confirming that he posed no threat, Tao Haohao untied him.

Finally spotting their teammates, several sentries rushed over and punched him. "Little Qi, where have you been?! The captain has been stuck here for a whole month trying to find you."

Zhou Tianqi stood there without moving, remaining expressionless even after being punched: "I didn't run around."

The expressions on their faces froze, realizing that something was wrong with him.

Logically speaking, familiar comrades-in-arms should not act so coldly upon reunion.

The sentries realized what was happening.

"What's wrong? You can't be..."

Zhou Tianqi: "Nothing much."

Jiang Mu composed himself and looked at Xie Tu, "His spiritual body is missing?"

Clearly, they had encountered similar situations.

Xie Tu hummed in agreement and sat down at their table. "How did you guys manage to get through this?"

"What else could it be? Of course, it's an inhibitor."

Jiang Mu's expression was extremely helpless. "Chengzi's spiritual body was almost lost as well. When I found him, he was half-dead. I didn't dare to release other spiritual bodies to investigate, so I could only search all over the world and catch his spiritual body before the gatekeeper..."

"After several injections of inhibitors, he had to lie in bed for two or three days before his mental state stabilized."

Jiang Mu shrugged, "I stumbled upon this place by accident..."

Relying on the sentry's keen intuition.

But the illusion attacks never stopped, and his mental state deteriorated significantly.

Jiang Mu realized the rules and stopped using his abilities. He released the White Jade Beast to search for people, while he and his teammates waited patiently.

And then... wow.

It was the first time it had left its original body to act on its own, and it got so caught up in having fun that it forgot to look for its owner.

The mental connection is getting weaker and weaker...

Jiang Mu was prepared to lose his spiritual body, so he decided to enjoy life while he could, eating and sleeping as he pleased. He figured he should at least eat well before he died.

The child has returned safely.

Of course, you should praise them enthusiastically.

The hot pot restaurant was bustling with noise and filled with the rich, pungent aroma of spicy food.

The diners stared at them curiously, whispering and pointing.

Yun Zhao ignored them, as well as his standing teammates and the captain who was talking.

She sat down alone at the next table, took the tablet menu handed to her by the waiter, and started ordering. She checked off all the dishes and ordered double portions of all the meat dishes.

After ordering, she realized that the tablet menu required payment first.

Yun Zhao beckoned to the waiter, "I've ordered, how do I pay the bill?"

Strands of spiritual energy took advantage of this opportunity to enter the waiter's mind, and the spiritual energy was taking control of his thoughts.

We've already paid the bill, please hurry up and bring the food.

The waiter looked dazed, took the tablet, and helped her pay the bill. "Okay, we'll serve you your food right away."

Jiang Mu raised an eyebrow at the sight, his gaze following the slender figure.

What an amazing guide!

Are those fluorescent lights spiritual energy?

Xie Tu subtly moved in front of him, blocking his view. "Got the key?"

Jiang Mu had no choice but to turn his head and glance at him with a mixture of amusement and exasperation.

"We got it a long time ago. If you hadn't found all your teammates, would you have abandoned them and gone out?"

Of course not.

Therefore, Xie Tu could understand why he was determined to stay in the contaminated area, even at the risk of losing his spiritual body.

But isn't he living a life that's far too comfortable?

He pointed to the bustling hot pot restaurant and asked, "What's going on here?"

A city in the normal world.

Those mutants all look like humans, and you can even see them and make human-like expressions and movements.

He was almost no different from an ordinary person.

In a contaminated area, the more normal something appears, the more abnormal it is.

Jiang Mu picked up the chopsticks on the table, put a slice of mutton into the boiling spicy pot, and looked like he didn't want to talk to him anymore.

"It can't be explained in a few words. After we finish eating hot pot, let's find a quiet place for both teams to have a meeting."

The five members of Team Zero had already taken their seats.

A huge hot pot with two broths was brought to the table, and a dazzling array of dishes filled the entire table, so much so that there wasn't enough room for them all.

The waiter brought over two carts and placed the dishes that couldn't fit on them on the carts.

Please enjoy your meal.

Rabbit quickly tasted the freshly fried crispy pork and exclaimed, "It's so delicious! No wonder Captain Jiang and the others aren't going out..."

She was able to enjoy different delicious foods at every meal, which made her reluctant to leave.

Duan Xi couldn't help but lecture her, "Jiang and the others aren't going out because of Zhou Tianqi, not because of the food."

The longer you stay here, the more likely you are to be assimilated.

Although Jiang Mu and the others appeared unharmed on the surface, their mental state was definitely in a very bad state.

"Of course I know."

The rabbit ignored him and quickly popped one piece of crispy pork into its mouth after another, its eyes constantly scanning the dishes on the table, already considering which one to eat first.

The base also has hot pot, but the selection of dishes is very limited.

Moreover, the broth doesn't contain beef tallow, so it can't compare to this hot pot restaurant at all.

At this moment.

Xie Tu returned and, as usual, sat down next to Yun Zhao.

Seeing that everyone was in high spirits, he didn't mention the meeting that was coming up later, and let his teammates enjoy a meal from the old days.

Yun Zhao didn't notice him; he was watching how the guests next door prepared their dipping sauces.

She had never eaten hot pot before, but after watching what those 'people' put into it, she imitated them and learned to make her own dipping sauce.

The rosy red broth smelled incredibly tempting.

The pot quickly boiled, and a dazzling array of various meat dishes were poured into it one by one.

No one spoke at the table.

Everyone was holding chopsticks, eagerly starting to cook the meat in the hot pot.

Yun Zhao remembered that she had seen hot pot base sold in the supermarket, so she would pack more of it into the high-speed train carriages!

Those frozen, sealed bags of vegetables were piled high with ice and stuffed into the freezer...
