Chapter 19 [VIP] Chapter 19



At this moment, Shu Jingtong suddenly heard a strange sound.

It was hard to describe. He felt it was like an ethereal breeze, or a gently surging wave, or perhaps a gentle moonlight.

In short, it was illusory, but it flashed by at the critical moment, sweeping away the fear and confusion in his heart, allowing him to clear his mind and calm down.

Shu Jingtong stood up shakily, and a small white chinchilla appeared in front of him.

Originally, after these years, his spiritual body strength has increased a lot, and the size of the spiritual body he transformed can become very large. He is considered one of the best in the Guidance Academy.

However, at this time, he himself was seriously frightened, and the spiritual body he materialized was very strong, and the size was naturally very small.

The pure white kitten's fur stood up when it saw the horrible monster crawling towards it. It arched its body, raised its tail, and let out a sharp cry.

It's useless, Shu Jingtong thought in despair. What use is the guide's mental power when it's like this?

He stepped back little by little, his back hitting the cold wall. There was no way forward.

The monster with long black hair came down from the drained corpse. The long black hair left the slumped body and waded through the thick pool of blood on the floor, smearing the crimson blood all over the floor.

When it saw Shu Jingtong and the little cat, it showed a happy look on its face, and with its smiling head supported by its hair, it crawled towards them staggeringly.

The small, snow-white spirit stood in front of Shu Jingtong, shaking its thin hind legs and trying to make threatening roars.

Shu Jingtong bent down and held it in his arms.

He was going to die anyway, and he couldn't bear to let his own half suffer first.

The long mosquito-like mouthparts were getting closer and closer. With the peripheral vision, I could even clearly see the piece of meat and blood hanging on it.

Shu Jingtong hugged the soft little cat nestled in his arms.

A volley of bullets fell from the sky with a whistling sound and rushed into the monster's head.

The head that was hit repeatedly by dense bullets showed a look of shock.

Although it was riddled with bullets in an instant, it was still alive. It moved very swiftly, rolling to the side. The black and white eyes on its face moved around in a very human-like manner, as if trying to escape.

A black military boot fell from the sky, carrying the force of gravity and stomping on the head, crushing the deformed head and the thick long black hair.

Red blood and some strange-colored liquids covered Shu Jing's face.

I don't know whether it is a monster or the person whose blood was just drained by it.

The one who came was a sentry, a female with a pigtail hanging behind her head, wearing the uniform of the airship guard.

She held a rifle from an old era that was not particularly advanced, her waist and hips were hung with various weapons, and broad feathers like eagle wings were disappearing from her back.

The girl jumped down from the roof, and when she landed, she stepped on the monster that was hit by her bullets. When she saw Shu Jingtong, she whistled in a not very elegant way.

"Wow, a little cat guide." She bent down and hooked the chin of the little cat in Shu Jingtong's arms with her finger. Without even looking, she raised her hand and shot a string of bullets.

In a dark corner of the roof, a monster with disheveled hair twisted its head flexibly, avoiding bullets and slipping along the wall.

Only a short moment had passed since the monster suddenly appeared. But for these flowers that had been nurtured in the tower white since childhood, it seemed as if they had been through a long and terrifying hell for a long time. Two of their companions died in the brief chaos, and their bodies, drained of blood, were still lying dry and emaciated in a pool of blood.

In the sky outside the porthole, the sentinels guarding the airship finally appeared.

They either rode their own spirit bodies, flying in the air, and fought with the human-headed monsters that gathered outside the airship. A small number of sentinels with avian spirit bodies directly transformed into half-animals, and grew bird-like wings behind their bodies, flying flexibly in the sky.

The Sentinels and the mutants collided.

The monsters clinging outside the glass windows were attracted by the fresh flesh and blood. Many of them changed their targets and rushed towards the sentries with laughter, crying, and staggering.

"Everyone, move. Draw the curtains and block the hole with the table." The female sentry who entered the cabin stood still, firing a gun to chase the monster, and began to issue orders.

"Leave the monsters outside to the sentinels. As long as we seal the glass, the monsters won't be able to see us and won't try to come in again."

The airship was flying in the air, shaking under the impact of the monster. Strong winds blew in from the broken holes. The transparent glass outside was covered with those terrifying drooling human heads.

The interior of the submarine was in a mess, with dead bodies, monster remains, and blood all over the ground.

Everyone's legs were weak and no one dared to go to those windows.

Shu Jingtong seemed to hear that strange sound again.

Of all the people, there was probably only one girl in a black sportswear who was running. She stepped over the sticky blood and garbage and reached out to pull down the window guards on both sides of the long hull.

She had been doing this from the very beginning, but it was too chaotic for anyone to notice. She moved quickly inside the messy and shaking airship, stretched out her arms in front of the strange faces outside the window, and closed the sunshade on the glass window with a bang, blocking out those strange views.

"You go too." The female sentry kicked Shu Jing's foot and yelled to all the stunned people, "If you don't want to die, move. If you want to die, you can jump off now, and it can save some energy for the airship."

Shu Jingtong stumbled a few steps, and strangely, the uncontrollable fear in his heart seemed to have dissipated a lot. He gritted his teeth, crawled to the gap where the hurricane was blowing, and lifted up the large dining table that had fallen on the ground to block the hole pecked by the monster.

The sharp sound of gunfire almost rang close to his scalp. A head that was trying to crawl in by sticking to the hole was shattered by the bullet fired by the female sentry. It stuck outside the hole, sticking out its long tongue with its eyes open in death.

Shu Jingtong forced himself not to look at it and tried to hold the table against the strong wind.

Someone came over from the other side and offered him a hand. Shu Jingtong looked up and saw that it was Nicole, whose face was as pale as his.

Nicole, who was born in an aristocratic family and was always well dressed, now had messy hair and blood all over her body like him. She reached out her hand from the other side, trembling, lifted the table, and nodded to him.

The two men shook their legs and pushed together, and the large dining table was finally pushed against the gap. The hurricane in the airship suddenly stopped.

Perhaps it was that mysterious sound that had been echoing faintly.

Or maybe it was that in times of chaos, with someone issuing orders, everyone seemed to have found a backbone.

The passengers who were lying limp on the ground gradually stood up.

Some people trembled as they helped pull down the baffles that blocked the sunlight. Some people helped to prop up the open cabin, and some people used tape to seal the gap blocked by the table.

The windows were closed one by one. The deformed creatures surrounding the airship could not see the people inside, so they finally dispersed and started chasing the sentries flying outside the airship.

Inside the cabin, the last jumping head was stepped on by the female sentry with pigtails.

The space filled with gunshots, screams and chaos finally became quiet.

Through the tiny gaps in the sun visor, one can still see the sky outside, where the battle between the sentinels and the monsters is going on fiercely.

The brutal battle is not over, and the danger is not over yet.

It was just in the dim space that I got a precious moment of peace.

The frightened passenger came back to his senses and breathed a sigh of life.

Shu Jingtong was paralyzed and sat on the floor.

There was blood and corpses all over the ground. But fortunately, they were still alive.

The female sentry who had just kicked him reached out her hand to him.

Shu Jingtong looked at the hand.

It was a "female" hand, a whole circle smaller than his, wrapped in a bandage, with a rough old band, and covered in blood and mud.

But that hand was very strong and held him firmly, pulling him up from the paralyzed ground in just one go.

This girl was perhaps younger than him and not as tall as him. Just because she was a sentinel, she had such well-trained hands.

With her hands, she resolutely and decisively saved everyone here.

The female sentry pulled him up, rubbed her fingers, and smiled.

"Oh, this is the first time I hold the guide's hand."

She has no noble military title, but is just an ordinary sentinel from the plane. But she has a very cheerful smile.

Shu Jingtong opened his mouth and wanted to say something.

The accident happened in that instant.

Just when everyone had relaxed and thought they could at least breathe a sigh of relief.

On the top of the airship, in the dark without any lights, a gap appeared at some point. Acidic liquid dripped from the edge of the hole, which was corroded by some strong acid.

Outside the hole that was "corroded silently", the face of a middle-aged man with a chin was revealed.

That particularly huge head, at some point, took advantage of the chaos, everyone avoided's attention, and quietly slipped into the gap between the balloon and the cabin of the airship.

In that secret place, he licked a hole with his highly corrosive saliva.

It lurked silently for an unknown period of time, and when the young female sentry smiled, it immediately penetrated through the hole with its sharp barbed mouthparts, pierced through the young female sentry's body, lifted her up, and dragged her out.

Sneak, wait for the right opportunity, attack with precision, and eliminate the only strong one first.

It's just like having wisdom and thinking?

The sentry pierced by the sharp weapon fell into a coma, with her head drooping and her hands hanging down. Her body was lifted up by the long spikes, and red blood dripped down her fingers onto Shu Jingtong's face.

The powerful sentinel that descended from the sky a moment ago was the motivation for him and everyone here to muster up courage.

But in the blink of an eye, even the sentry was killed.

Red blood dripped down his face.

This must be a nightmare, one nightmare after another, Shu Jingtong thought, endless, just like hell.

A hand wrapped around the sleeve of a sports jacket reached out from in front of his eyes and grabbed the bleeding hand of the sentry in mid-air.

The man's arms were white and slender like all the guides, and there was a spot of blood on his calm face.

It’s Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan grabbed the sentry's wrist, and the monster's powerful force almost lifted his feet off the ground.

But she did not let go. She held the sentry's bleeding palm with her thin white arms and tried to pull it back.

There was a sound of drums, as if coming from a mysterious place. The sounds came from nowhere, stirring up the blood in the hearts of those who heard them.

Shu Jingtong reacted quickly, rushed forward, and together with Lin Yuan, held the sentry's hand.

Four hands grabbed the bloody arm and struggled to free the sentry from being dragged away by the monster.

Even with the weight of two men, they were still no match for the deformed monster.

Nicole rushed over and hugged Lin Yuan's waist.

More people rushed up, and one by one they hugged each other to fight for their lives in the monster's mouth.

Finally, like a tug-of-war, they managed to snatch the pierced sentry back from the monster's mouth.

The sentry, covered in blood, fell unconscious and rolled on the ground with everyone else.

In the chaos, before Shu Jingtong could get up, he saw someone picking up the gun that the sentry had dropped on the ground.

Or that one? Lin Yuan,

The girl, who was also his guide, picked up the gun, unskillfully placed the heavy gun on her shoulder, knelt on one leg, raised the muzzle of the gun, aimed at the hole in the roof, and fired.

The attack missed and the monster outside the cave avoided it.

The powerful recoil caused Lin Yuan's entire body to fall backwards. She fell to the ground, but quickly got up, rubbed her shoulders, and raised her gun again.

How could I possibly hit them, Shu Jing thought, the gun was so heavy, and the monsters moved so fast, so fast that even the eyes could hardly catch their movements. Only the sentinel's vision could possibly hit them.

What's strange is that the monster, which had been extremely agile before, seemed to suddenly become stupid and dumb at this moment.

It suddenly stopped, staring blankly with cloudy eyes, drooling, and moving very slowly. Ren Ping Linyuan unskillfully adjusted his posture, aimed at the hole, and fired a second shot at it.

Bang, second sound, the monster was shot in the face.

As if waking up, the huge face with an angry expression moved away from the cave entrance.

Although it was hit by a bullet, it did not cause a fatal impact on it, at most it could only avoid it temporarily.

Lin Yuan knelt on one leg on the ground, holding the gun, his eyes fixed on the hole that was still dripping with concentrated acid.

"Save people." She began to speak.

Shu Jingtong was stunned.

"Save that sentry." Lin Yuan, holding his gun, looked straight ahead and said calmly, "She's still alive."

The sentry who was snatched back from the monster's mouth was unconscious. A horrible hole pierced through her left shoulder. A large amount of blood quickly dyed the floor red. It seemed that she was beyond saving.

But she was still alive, her young face was pale and bloodless, and she was breathing weakly.

"Hurry." Lin Yuan said, and she even used one arm to press the wound that was bleeding like a fountain.

Shu Jingtong found the first aid kit on the airship and was about to move forward when a companion, the good friend who sat next to him during dinner, quietly pulled his clothes.

"Don't go, Jingtong," the companion said, "You are already engaged."

Shu Jingtong was stunned.

"What are you going to look like?" The companion gestured to his chest.

The injured sentry was lying on the ground, wounded on her shoulder. To treat her, I must avoid opening her clothes and touching her skin. As a guide who has been paying attention to etiquette since childhood, under normal circumstances, I should not touch the sentry's body.

"What time is it now?" Shu Jingtong said unhappily.

"That was just a low-level sentry." His companion pulled him closer, "Think about it. When you go back, they will definitely exaggerate this matter. If your fiancée knew that you had contact with such a civilian sentry on the airship, what would she think?"

"Don't go. Why bother? She's just a sentry from a civilian area. There's no point in saving her."

If the sentinel was still alive, it would be their lifeline. But it was obvious that the sentinel was dying. Saving her would be useless.

"You wouldn't want to end up like that Lin Yuan, breaking off the engagement and being laughed at by everyone, right?" The companion pursed his lips and pointed in the direction of Lin Yuan.

Shu Jingtong followed his line of sight and saw Lin Yuan, who was called a weirdo by everyone. He held the gun in one hand, staring closely at the gap where the monster could appear at any time, but he put his other hand on the sentry's bleeding wound.

The airship was still flying unsteadily, and monsters or sentinels would occasionally crash into the glass outside the window.

In the dimly lit cabin, a beam of sunlight shone through the gap in the roof, with fine dust flying in the sunlight.

That was the end of the dying sentry. Lying in the sun, the young girl, with long braided hair, her limbs paralyzed and covered in blood.

Lin Yuan knelt on one leg beside her.

She pursed her lips, staring at the hole where ghosts might appear at any time, and held down the sentry beside her with one hand.

Completely regardless of what people around him are saying.

She never seems to care and just does what she wants to do.

Shu Jingtong shook off the classmates who were holding him, and crouched down beside the injured sentry with a first aid kit. He first cut open the sentry's clothes, and then took out the hemostatic forceps to stop the bleeding. The injury was too serious, and he had only learned basic first aid. Could he really save this girl in such a dangerous environment?

Shu Jingtong wiped his forehead with his sleeve and found that he was covered in cold sweat.

There was a person squatting next to him, Nicole, who came from a noble family.

Nicole, who was terrible at all subjects, reached out and took a hemostat. "Let me help. I'm terrible at other subjects, but I'm the best at first aid."

Another girl came over and used a piece of gauze to wipe the cold sweat off the sentry's forehead. "I, I'm fine too."

She may have forgotten that not long ago, she sat at the dining table and vowed that she would never touch those poor sentries even once.

The three men looked at each other, cut open the injured man's clothes with a little shyness, stopped talking, and used their unskilled movements to do their best to save the critically endangered sentry.

Lin Yuan fired again with a thud.

The monster's face appeared from the hole in the roof.

Pale, bloated, and drooling.

It quietly moved to another dark corner, opened a new hole, and was just looking for an opportunity to launch a sneak attack.

The strange thing is that its extremely agile movements seemed to get stuck at the moment it attempted a sneak attack, and it stupidly showed its face at the entrance of the cave.

It seemed to be trapped in a strange dream, with a confused look on its face.

Its stiff and slow movements made it a huge target, and it was hit by Lin Yuan's gun, destroying half of its face.

The monster screamed, looked at Lin Yuan with hatred on its mutilated face, and left quickly again.

Shu Jingtong, who was performing temporary first aid, was not frightened by the gunshots near his ears.

He felt very strange, at this moment he felt only peace and tranquility in his heart. This calm mood allowed him to steadily hold the hemostat and suture needle to treat the sentry's wound.

That feeling comes back again.

It was like a gentle breeze blowing through my heart, blowing away the anxiety there.

A bright moon hangs quietly in the night sky, and the moonlight shines softly on the earth, making people no longer afraid.

The waves were gently surging under the soft moonlight, and the white waves gently licked the beach.

The starry sky above our heads is so gentle and beautiful that it can comfort everyone's heart.

How could this happen? This shouldn't happen. I shouldn't be like this in a dangerous situation. Shu Jingtong thought to himself.

He raised his head and saw that Nicole and the guide who came to help had the same calm and focused expressions as himself, looking intently at the bloody wound on their hands.

It seemed that in a short period of time, everyone had adapted to everything and was no longer afraid.

Even the other people around seemed to be immersed in the breeze, the bright moon and the gentle sounds of the waves.

Everyone became quiet and peaceful, and everyone acted in silence.

Reinforcing the windows, sealing the gaps in the sun visors, and treating the injured companions, everyone moved carefully, silently and orderly.

No one made any unnecessary noise to attract the attention of any monsters outside.

Everyone seemed to be still in the safe academy as before, and had not fallen into such a terrifying contaminated area where they could lose their lives at any time.

How could this happen?

As a guide, Shu Jingtong, who has sharp mental abilities, suddenly realized something.

He suddenly widened his eyes and looked at Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan was still kneeling on one knee in the dim light coming down from the roof, staring closely at the monster that might appear at any time, a drop of sweat running down his fair face.

Under her feet, in places where the sunlight did not reach, it seemed as if countless huge things were surging and spreading.

Is it her?

It turns out that the voice I had been hearing all along was hers.

It was she who did her best to ease everyone's confusion at the beginning.

It was also her mental power that influenced the monster's movements, causing it to become stagnant at the most critical moment.

That's why she was able to use her clumsy shooting skills to hit the dazed monster time and time again.

The scariest thing is that while shooting and controlling the monster's mind, she even had the energy to calm everyone's emotions.

Shu Jingtong thought of the question he had once asked his teacher.

"How strong is Lin Yuan's mental power?"

At this moment, he suddenly understood the meaning of the teacher's sigh at that time.
