Chapter 102 Chapter 102 Chapter 102 (Second Update)...
In the East District, although the sky had just brightened, the guardians scattered throughout the area had already entered combat mode.
Since the East District is responsible for the largest area with a large population, naturally a large number of weird things are attracted to the East District.
These guardians usually rotate to a certain area for a few months. Compared to the South District where you can often see a large number of young members, the East District is more dangerous and has more arduous tasks, and the people in charge are basically guardians over 28 years old.
In the early morning, the guardians on the day shift quickly entered combat mode. At a glance, almost everyone had a blank expression on their face.
This is the norm for older Guardians: they have indifferent expressions and act decisively. Teammates will exchange a few words with each other, but under normal circumstances, they will avoid talking if possible.
Throughout the entire East District, the only sounds were those of sharp blades and various abilities piercing strange bodies, and from time to time there were brief commands for coordination between teams.
There is nothing else besides this.
These older guardians have become accustomed to this kind of environment. If nothing unexpected happens today, they will go out into the team, fight, eat, fight, eat again, then finish the battle, go back to rest, and repeat the cycle the next day.
But today, the peace in the East District was broken.
"No matter how cold you are when I pour water on Guiyi, it's always too early. How can it do any harm?"
Chu Xiao glanced at Rong Nian calmly and said, "You didn't pour the water evenly. Even if you covered it all with the strange body and froze it, it would only form a thin layer. What's the point?"
Rong Nian: "Nonsense! It's obviously you who is late!"
"Oh."
"You're still sneering, you still have the nerve to sneer, do you want to fight?"
Cheng Yunshao held up his phone: "Are you going to call? I'll record it for you!"
The rest of the people stood and watched the joke.
Luo Shizhen was used to his teammates always getting into fights after just a few words, so he stood between the two of them and acted as a skilled peacemaker:
"Alright, alright, don't fight here. There are weird things everywhere here. Fighting is too dangerous. Let's fight when we get back."
Chu Xiao's arm was held by him, and the cold expression on his face eased slightly.
Rong Nian snorted and stopped talking about fighting.
Lin Ke was also quite convinced. When a small team of members were doing Zou Tangzheng's mission before, they quarreled and fought every day.
How come they are still arguing and fighting after forming a team?
This is actually normal. The Qi bodies of awakened people are repulsive to each other. If they are too close, conflicts are likely to occur.
Therefore, in a general guardian team, although the members will have a tacit understanding in battle and friendships will be formed, they will also deliberately keep a distance in normal times to prevent the Qi bodies from competing for territory and causing violent emotions.
But one small team is very different.
While they were arguing, they were still close to each other, eating together, and even sleeping in the same car, instead of finding a place that was neither too far nor too close to each other and maintaining their own sense of territory as Lin Ke had thought before.
Lin Ke thought about it and glanced at Luo Shizhen secretly.
According to his observation, the reason why this small team quarrels when they are close to each other but still insists on staying close to each other is because of Luo Shizhen.
Everyone wants to be with Luo Shizhen, so naturally everyone is tied together.
Lin Ke was different. His abilities had just been upgraded, and his Qi body was in a state of expansion. Being close to other awakened people, he instinctively felt a little jealous, and for some reason he didn't like any of Chu Xiao and the others.
I really want to drive them all away, except Luo Shizhen.
As soon as this thought came to his mind, Lin Ke became obedient.
He knew himself well. Although his abilities had been improved, he didn't know how to use them at all. How could he possibly defeat Chu Xiao and the others?
He can't even beat Cheng Yunshao!
Lin Ke thought that he should stay away from them, so that he wouldn't be unable to resist and get into conflict with others.
He was falling back and planning when suddenly his arm was pulled up.
Luo Shizhen showed him a large piece of cardboard: "How about this?"
Three huge words were written on the cardboard:
I am human!
Lin Ke still maintained his strange appearance in red clothes. He had just advanced his abilities and had not yet learned how to restore his human form. In order to make it easier to walk without blocking his sight, he tied a ponytail on himself.
But he couldn't find any clothing store along the way, so he couldn't change his clothes. Even if he tied his hair up and showed his face, he still looked weird.
Luo Shi was really afraid that he would be regarded as weird by the guardian team stationed here, so he came up with this idea.
For him, this was the best solution he could think of.
Lin Ke had noticed before that Luo Shizhen had been searching for things he passed by on the road. He didn't expect that it was for him. He was a little touched:
"Yes, thank you."
"You're welcome. I'll hang up for you then."
Luo Shizhen hung the cardboard on Lin Ke: "Yong Zhou said that he would send someone to the East District to pick you up. By then, he will definitely find a way to turn you back."
Lin Ke was quite optimistic, shaking his long black nails:
"It's actually okay if I can't change back. If I stay like this, I won't even have to worry about pollution."
For him, who can stay at home all the time to avoid being contaminated, it would be quite worthwhile if he could really sacrifice his appearance to gain long-term safety.
Cheng Yunshao ruthlessly punctured his beautiful fantasy:
"Weirds have a habit of cannibalism. They can advance by devouring each other. You only have the external form of a fourth-level weirdo, but you don't have the fighting spirit. If you run into other weirdos, you'll be a piece of cake."
Lin Ke: “…”
Luo Shizhen patted his hand comfortingly: "Don't worry, Yong Zhou will definitely have a way. Just wait until you meet Yong Zhou's people."
"Come, stand in the middle of our group. That way, even if other guardians think you're weird and see you among us, they won't hit you."
He naturally took Lin Ke's hand.
Even Lin Ke himself couldn't praise his current state.
The arm was purple and cracked, with some sticky black blood seeping out, just like in a horror movie. The fingers were as rough as tree bark.
In short, it is a very typical female ghost arm.
Luo Shizhen was not affected at all and just pulled Lin Ke directly to the center of the team.
Lin Ke was a little confused: "Aren't you afraid of me?"
Luo Shizhen looked at him doubtfully: "Why should I be afraid of you?"
Lin Ke pointed at himself and said, "I look like a ghost now..."
To be honest, he took out a mirror and looked at himself, and he was shocked.
Then he threw the mirror away.
Luo Shizhen looked at Lin Ke again and didn't think there was anything to be afraid of:
"I know you are Lin Ke, and you won't attack us."
"And you look okay like this, much better than that weird looking one."
Lin Ke then remembered that Luo Shizhen had just killed Weiyi alone.
The other members were more receptive to Lin Ke standing in the center of the team than he had imagined. Not only did they have no objections, they even arranged their positions tacitly, blocking all possible attacks from outside towards Lin Ke.
In this way, even if someone misunderstood Lin Ke as being weird and wanted to attack him, they would have to stop first because of their position.
To be honest, Lin Ke was a little touched.
He could really feel that these young and tough guardians really treated him as one of their own.
Until Wen Hu said unhappily: "Hey, have you held hands enough?"
Lin Ke: “…”
Oh yes, he was still holding Luo Shizhen’s hand.
Luo Shizhen's hands still had calluses due to long-term training, but they inexplicably felt slightly warm and soft to the touch, just like him, making people want to touch them again and again.
Moreover, he didn't know if it was Lin Ke's illusion, but he always felt that when he had physical contact with Luo Shizhen, the strong and violent Qi that was always surging in his body seemed to become much calmer.
Luo Shizhen turned to Wen Hu and said, "No, don't be mean to Lin Ke. I was the one holding his hand, not him holding mine."
Wen Hu: "You hold his hand? Why don't you hold my hand?"
Luo Shi looked at him strangely. He held Lin Ke's hand to comfort Lin Ke. Wen Hu was fine, so why did he hold hands?
However, he was good-tempered, so he really reached out and held Wen Hu's hand:
"Is this okay?"
Wen Hu's originally arrogant expression calmed down instantly, his earlobes turned red, he licked his lips, and moved closer to Luo Shizhen.
A thick tiger tail was exposed, even trembling slightly with excitement, and wrapped around Luo Shizhen.
"I want to lick it again... Damn! Who is it?"
He was grabbed by the back of the neck and forcibly dragged away.
Wen Hu turned his head and met Xiao Shan's gaze. Xiao Shan stretched out his strong arms:
"Who are you talking nonsense to?"
"What's it to you? You're not my real brother!"
"You know, an elder brother is like a father! I'm Big Brother Shi Zhen, so I can take care of things!"
Cheng Yunshao raised his mobile phone to record the video again.
Luo Shizhen was completely used to it, and turned back to comfort Lin Ke:
"It's okay. They just like to argue. As long as they don't fight."
Lin Ke: “…”
Under the gaze of Chu Xiao and others, he silently withdrew his hand from Luo Shizhen.
So, the older guardian teams fighting in the east area watched this team, most of whose members were eighteen or nineteen years old and too young, fighting against the monsters while arguing with each other and moving.
"What's going on?"
The East District, which was originally dead silent, also attracted some teams to look over because of this scene.
"It's obviously a new team."
"Yong Zhou is actually willing to send a young team to the East District."
"Young man, was I this lively when I was young?"
Some people looked nostalgic.
Young awakened ones are always like this, tit for tat, just like newly grown beasts. They already have a certain sense of territory and will violently expel any other of their kind in the territory.
With such a fresh team coming to the East District, things are going to be lively in the future.
"Huh? They're in trouble."
The older people who were watching the young team as amusement suddenly noticed something unusual.
Below them, a strange deer-shaped creature covered in horns was seen battling against the young team.
Its horns are very sharp and can easily cut through metal. In addition, its body is covered with horns, so if it is not careful, it will easily cut the body of the guardian it fights.
Being injured is not a big deal. The key point is that these horns are covered with thick pollution, and as the guardian's body is scratched, the pollution will penetrate the skin.
"I encountered a multi-horned sheep as soon as I came to the East District. I don't know whether it is lucky or unlucky."
A guardian who had found a dead tree to take a nap stood up slightly, twirling a knife in his hand. His teammate's voice came through his earphones:
"Young people have no experience. Yu Qing, you're close, go help them."
The guardian named Yu Qing jumped down from the tree lightly: "Here I come."
He suspected that this young team was not sent to the East District at all. At first glance, the group of young people were about the third level. The highest fourth level seemed to have the ability of Painted Skin, but they were clumsy and could not fully control their abilities.
Yong Zhou is not really deserted, so how could they send a bunch of immature brats here?
However... since Yong Zhou allowed them to come to the East District, it means that he has a backup plan for protection, perhaps there are other older guardians watching over them from behind.
I just don't know why, when faced with the multi-horned sheep that are extremely easy to infect people, they actually let these young people fight on their own.
Aren’t you afraid that they will be contaminated?
Yu Qing walked over quickly and was about to take action, but his pupils suddenly shrank after seeing the scene in front of him.
The horns of the multi-horned sheep scratched the bodies of several young guardians, and the pollution quickly invaded, but soon, their wounds were gently pressed by a young man, and a calm force instantly purified the pollution.
Purifier...
It turned out to be a purifier.
Yu Qing looked at the scene in disbelief. He could never have imagined that such a precious Purifier would appear in the chaotic and dangerous East District.
Has Yong Zhou finally lost his mind?!
He stared blankly. Without the restraint of pollution, the young team quickly killed the multi-horned sheep. As the multi-horned sheep fell, they also looked in their direction.
Yu Qing only had eyes for the young Purifier who looked less than twenty years old.
He was wearing the combat uniform of a guardian. Although he looked a little young, he already had the demeanor of a guardian.
He looked over and suddenly smiled.
This smile was very pure. Yu Qing, who had been guarding this damn place for half a year, swore that he had never seen anyone smile like this in this broken place.
Those dark eyes were as bright as stars, full of trust, and ran towards him, like a baby bird seeing its parents.
Yu Qing's brain was a little frozen. He had never seen an awakened person with such a good temper and who looked a little soft.
Especially since this is a purifier.
Her brain didn't react, but her hands subconsciously opened slightly, as if preparing to welcome this young man whose eyes were full of joy and trust.
As a result, the other party passed by him.
Yu Qing: “…”
They weren't coming for him, were they? That's right, they didn't know him.
"Teacher! I missed you so much!"
Yu Qing heard the young man say this.
He turned around and saw the other person throwing himself into Chen Heyan's arms.
The teacher of this awakening school is quite famous in the East District. Although his sequence is not high, his combat power is very strong. It seems like he almost never sleeps every day, killing monsters day and night.
Yu Qing had met him several times, and they just looked at each other briefly without any expression or movement.
This is also a common way of greeting among the guardians stationed in the East District.
Calm, indifferent, and with a tacit understanding of keeping a distance from each other.
But at this moment, Chen Heyan was holding the young Purifier in his arms, and there was a trace of strange green blood on his face. The combat uniform with marks on his body proved that he was still fighting the moment before.
But the pair of eyes that were calm before, now looking at the young Purifier, were so gentle that they seemed to be able to melt water.
The young people he treated like this were also full of trust, like cubs that had not yet left the nest, and they couldn't wait to roll around in the arms of the elders.
"Shi Zhen, why are you in the East District? Aren't we in the South District?"
Yu Qing listened and suddenly understood.
Shi Zhen, it turns out his name is Shi Zhen.
However, is the relationship between teachers and students among the awakened ones so good?
Damn, if I had known earlier I would have become a teacher!
