After a heartbreaking breakup, Xu Shanshan was excessively sad and died suddenly from staying up late. She transmigrated to the future, becoming a Guide rescued by the White Tower.
The first ...
Chapter 27 Chapter 27 Invitation from the Air Combat Team
Time flies and it is Friday. She has adapted to the training. Since she put away the light brain, her sleep quality has improved a lot, her life is healthy and she is full of energy.
The problem lies with the spirit body, because the little mushroom has the need to eat pollution, not only did it not show any abnormality, it even ate more. She measured its size and found that it had become a little thicker.
I don't want it to get too high and lose control of itself, and tag the other person again. I always discuss it with others in advance and explain the reason.
The other party agreed, and she thought he understood, but she didn't expect the misunderstanding to become even deeper.
I saw a sentinel showing off on the forum. The gist of it was: when making an appointment for treatment, the guide not only helped me to clear the "knots", but also helped me absorb the pollution.
The group of people below either scolded him for being wishful thinking or started fishing, asking for his contact information in both overt and covert ways.
He would never create a love rival for himself, so he didn't reply. After many pages, there was another reply, but she didn't find it.
[I also met, it’s true]
That person's IP address is outside the tower, and he should have just left the tower in the past two days. Within a few minutes, the post received hundreds of likes and became a hot post.
[It looks so real, where did this Bodhisattva come from? Don’t post it in your dreams.]
【Please dream about this】
【I answer】
Seeing the number of posts skyrocketing, she sighed that this matter was too easy to be misunderstood.
Rumors about her will only increase, not decrease. But it doesn't matter. Once the subsequent test reports come out and are allowed to be released, she can modify her profile and prove her innocence.
She reached out and poked the mycelium. "How about eating some iron sheets to fill your stomach first?" The other party raised a cross to express serious protest. It seems that pollution is more delicious in its diet.
In this case, she could only ask old acquaintances for help.
The indicator light came on, confirming the second visitor. The screen flashed and the picture kept changing, finally freezing on Li Yifei. No one knew who the other black shadow was. I had never seen anything like this before.
She guessed there might be a bug in the system.
Elsewhere, Ares and the deputy captain gathered around a table, but after the code was run, it ultimately showed a huge failure.
"Captain, we didn't make the appointment. Let's do it next time."
Ares was obviously a little dejected, but he said forcefully, "It's okay, I'll definitely be able to do it next time."
The deputy captain didn't understand why he did this. The guide had clearly told him that he could just go to her directly to vent his feelings, so why did he go to such unnecessary trouble and pretend to have matched with her by accident? Such unnecessary pride.
Deputy Captain: "It would be more efficient if you just tell her directly."
The lion ears on Ares' shoulders drooped. He was either unable to lower himself or unwilling to accept the fact. Why did she choose and mark that man? What was wrong with him?
In the silent room.
Because they were old acquaintances, she relaxed her attitude and said, "Captain Xie Yifei, would you like anything to drink?" She bent down, pulled out a tea can from the cabinet, and poured herself some.
"Just plain water, thank you."
A cup of hot water and a cup of cold water, pass it over, the spoon swirls in the cup, and the scented tea slowly dissolves into the water.
She looked at the warning light on his neck: orange, indicating a medium-risk level. It suddenly occurred to her that they hadn't seen each other for a few days. Not only had they not met, they hadn't even been in touch.
Xu Shanshan: "How are you guys doing recently?"
"Thanks to you, we are all in good spirits."
Because of the presence of guides, even individuals who have not been counseled can be soothed by the remaining guide essence, and there have been no abnormalities recently.
Logically speaking, with the level of pollution he was experiencing, he didn't need to make an appointment for decontamination, and doing so would be a bit of a waste, but he had something to say today.
She had originally planned to receive two more visitors and eat a little from different places to better satisfy Little Mushroom. Unexpectedly, an acquaintance came, which saved her trouble.
"You seem..." The man's eyes swept across her forehead, cheeks, shoulders and neck, and he frowned in confusion.
She was a little nervous, "What's wrong?"
Xie Yifei: "Turn black?"
Her fingers stopped, and the liquid spun in the cup due to inertia. "This," she breathed a sigh of relief. She thought it was something else. "This is normal. I train every day, how can it not be dark?"
Sunscreen couldn't block the scorching sun, and although there was an indoor training ground, the instructor wanted them to experience the outdoors and insisted on taking them outside to train. She had no objection.
Seeing the man frowning in thought, she realized that he didn't know the news. "It's just the team guide training camp." She touched the wall of the cup and found it was no longer hot.
"Is Bruno okay?" She still couldn't forget the nightmare that night and wanted to confirm with him again that he was safe.
Xie Yifei: "Don't worry, he just entered the cave not long ago. There is no signal inside, so it's normal that we can't contact him for the time being."
"Okay, let's get started."
She summoned the little mushroom, which happily lay on the table, its umbrella moving sideways. After a while, a shrunken red-crowned crane stood on the ground.
Its head was higher than the table, revealing its black throat and bare vermilion forehead. Its irises were brown, and its beak was long, straight, and gray-green.
The interior of the silent room began to change, simulating a wetland environment.
The red-crowned crane pointed its beak upwards, about one centimeter away from the umbrella cap, as if observing the mushrooms in front of it, making loud "ho, ho" sounds. Soon after, it began to bow, bending its neck backwards, which should be a way of expressing friendliness.
With the little mushrooms, she didn't have to do it herself, but she still had to make it clear in advance, "Captain, can I help you digest some of the pollution? Don't get me wrong, it needs to eat this."
Although she spoke the truth, some sentinels did not believe her and insisted that she was biased.
The man's eyes were full of tolerance, as if he would agree to whatever she said.
She changed her seat and sat side by side with Jie Yifei. The two of them were not far away, so it was convenient for her to comfort him immediately. "If it goes too far, please stop it."
Without permission, the little mushroom did not move. After getting her consent, she nodded to indicate that it could begin.
When the crane's beak was about to touch the umbrella, she was still sweating, worried that the little mushroom would be angry, but it stopped in time and put its head on the coffee table. So she stretched out her tentacles and climbed onto it until it wrapped around its neck.
The slender neck, which originally had black feathers, was covered with white mycelium, and a white-pink mushroom stood on top, like a hat, a strange and interesting combination.
The red-crowned crane flapped its wings excitedly, at a fast frequency and with loud sounds, circled in the air, then landed to the side and sat down.
The back of her white hand was covered by a larger hand. The man closed his eyes. It must have started. She pulled her hand out, placed it over him, inserted it between her fingers, and clasped it tightly. She rested her head on her arm, her hair sticking to the muscles of her arm.
The little mushroom gradually changed color, and her head sank. She looked up and saw that the other person was bending over, pressing his shoulders and head down, sticking to her ear, blocking half of the light, and their breathing intertwined.
Taking this opportunity, I took a good look at Captain Jie Yifei. He has delicate skin and invisible pores. It seems that sweating every day to detoxify is good. His nose bridge is high, but his nostrils are not wide.
The man stayed close to her with great restraint, only the strength in his clenched hands grew stronger and stronger, the orange light on his neck flickered. She raised her other hand, supported his chin, and pressed her fingertips against his cheek. The man unconsciously pressed the side of his face against her palm.
But there were no more inappropriate behaviors, so that when the counseling ended, neither of their clothes was wrinkled.
Seeing the little mushroom jumping off others, she knew it was almost time, but he kept holding his hands and had no intention of letting go. It took so long that she wondered if he had gone too far again. She glanced at him suspiciously, and the little mushroom shook and made a circle with its hands.
Xie Yifei was extremely relaxed, as if he was surrounded by warm, nutritious liquid. There were no annoying parasites screaming in his body anymore, and he felt no pain or itching. For once, he fell into a deep sleep.
The heads of both the man and the bird fell down. Because she had experience, she was not so nervous and stayed beside him waiting for him to wake up.
In fact, it is more suitable for making knockout drugs. You see, anyone who comes to my silent room will fall asleep.
When he opened his eyes, he looked down at the woman's profile, her gaze outward, and along her line of sight, he saw a flat, wide cloud, moving slowly. Her eyes were fixed, as if she was recalling something.
Realizing she couldn't bear his weight for long, he lifted his head and righted himself.
Feeling her shoulders lighten, Xu Shanshan immediately turned around and rotated her shoulder blades to relax them.
Xie Yifei: "Do you want to fly back tonight?"
Her eyes lit up, but she thought of Song Xiaoyu's tragedy, "Didn't they say that the White Tower can't fly?"
"After get off work, just stay away from each other."
"Okay," she agreed immediately. No one doesn't yearn for the sky. The feeling of flying high in the sky and looking down at the ground is so shocking. "It shouldn't rain later."
The two agreed to leave together after get off work and dinner.
After her shift was over, Carl picked her up as usual. She told him about it, but he insisted, "I want to make sure you get to the camp safely."
She could only take a step back. She and Jie Yifei went first, and then waited for him after they arrived.
Finally, the sun sets and they are away from the traffic, on a meadow. Both of them lie on the back of the red-crowned crane. She has stuffed the small mushroom into her bag, leaving only a little bit of the fruiting body exposed.
In order to carry the load, its body becomes larger, and strong and sturdy feathers can be seen under the wing coverts. It flaps its wings and starts running, stretching its long neck forward. After a run-up, it reaches the right speed, jumps off the ground, and flies into the sky.
Carl was sitting in the train, the light was blocked, and he looked up at the shadows in the shape of flight feathers, and saw the backs of the two people. The red-crowned cranes were not flying fast, like an aerial shuttle, leisurely enjoying the scenery.
As the train turned right according to the predetermined route, he moved farther and farther away from her, until his back finally disappeared into the sky.
She liked birds, and the man understood her preference for the air combat team. His cousin warned him not to dream of being the only one, as favoritism would only lead to resentment. But he could be useful elsewhere.
Because of her cheers and excitement, they gradually flew higher, with a cool breeze blowing on their faces. Since they were flying in a straight line, it didn't take long for them to reach their destination.
The red-crowned crane stretched its wings forward in an arc, and stretched its legs downward. She didn't feel much turbulence and landed quickly. Xie Yifei jumped down first, and then caught her.
Xu Shanshan picked up the little mushroom. This should be its first time to go high in the sky, and it looked dizzy. She took it back into her spiritual sea.
They sat in a street shop, waiting for Carl to arrive.
Xie Yifei: "We are preparing for the full-tower simulation exercise in two weeks."
"Hmm," she said, cracking melon seeds and watching curiously, waiting for him to continue.
Xie Yifei: "I would like to invite you to be our air combat team's guide, joining Team One and Team Two in participating in the simulation exercise."
He explained to her that this exercise would simulate the field environment, the mental and physical abilities of the sentinels, with multiple teams conducting simultaneous military exercises and all teams in the tower having to participate.
For a team without a guide, the goal is to survive, preserve their base, and expand their territory as much as possible. For a team with a guide, however, there's an additional goal: ensuring the guide's safety.
Pollution is considered part of the environment. Therefore, the team without a guide has an advantage in the early stages. They can act freely and move as a whole team, but over time, they fall into a disadvantage.
It is unrealistic for the sentinels to resist pollution on their own, so many teams will snatch guides from other teams in the middle of the exercise, which will be a bloodier battle than fighting for territory.
Of course, this is also the best arena and a great opportunity to demonstrate your strength.
He wanted to invite her to compete on behalf of the aerial combat team because: birds have a natural advantage in flying, and they can undoubtedly survive until the later stages. They just need to be careful of ground-based attacks. She would be safest with them.
Strength, compatibility, and personal preference are all factors a guide considers when choosing a team.
Xie Yifei knew how popular she was in the Sentinel Forum. Everyone who had been counseled by her admired her and could never forget her.
The air combat team had the upper hand. First, she loved birds and was close to them. Second, all her past experiences since coming to the White Tower had been created with them.
But this is not enough, they have to prove to her that they are strong, her choice is correct, and the support in all aspects is no less than that given to other Sentinel teams.
And warn others not to covet their guides, or they will blind their eyes, break their throats, and pierce their hearts. They will make her proud.
In fact, every team thought so, and everyone was waiting to see. The guides would pay attention, and she would definitely pay attention too.
Every year's simulation exercises are extremely intense, even tragic.
She was a little hesitant but also excited. She had heard about this thing. It completely simulated the natural environment, with a large number of participating teams and a rich variety of species. She had to see it.
Moreover, Wu Ke told her that she and Clara would both participate as guides in this training camp, and their schedules just happened to coincide.
This will be their first time working with the team, sharing life and death with them, witnessing the real cruel battlefield and the brave and agile soldiers. Death will bring great shock and stir the nerves of every guide.
She had already made up her mind, but she still turned on the light brain, flipped to the chat interface, and clicked on the dice rolling function. The icons kept changing, the dice rolled, and finally six dots were thrown out.
"big."
Seeing the man's confused and puzzled expression and the train arriving at the platform outside, she smiled and said, "I'll join."
