Chapter 17 Where is Chi Wan?
Qi Ye and Cang Lin, who were waiting outside, saw Li Su come out last.
Cang Lin, who had already received the information from the optical computer, walked over immediately:
"Take a look at the rumored space crystal."
Li Su spread out his palm, and the two crystals stained with black blood in his palm were shining with different colors.
Seeing this, Cang Lin smiled:
"I really don't know how much contribution value this thing will be priced at if it is successfully refined."
Qi Ye's voice was extremely cold, interrupting their conversation:
"Where's Chi Wan?"
This sentence reminded everyone that Chi Wan was not in the middle of the team.
Li Su didn't care at all. He crushed the crystal of the space-type supernatural pollution body in his palm. The crystal shattered and then condensed again.
The moment it shattered, a large number of light armored vehicles appeared on the ground.
He wanted to get into the car, but Qi Ye held the door tightly.
He looked at him with extremely cold eyes:
"Let me ask you, where is Chi Wan?"
He saw her stumbling away from the crowd at Base A3 in the chaos.
Li Su's gray-brown eyes looked directly into Qi Ye's cold green eyes, his low voice calm and indifferent:
"It's not my responsibility to protect her that falls to Base A3."
This time, she was assigned as a guide to the C3 base.
Qi Ye narrowed his eyes slightly: "Interstellar law stipulates that the sentinel has the natural duty to protect the guide, not to mention that she has been with you and helped you all the way."
"Assistance?"
Li Su sneered, and withdrew his hand from the door. He turned sideways to look at his unconscious subordinate who was being helped into the light armored vehicle on the other side, and his tone became even colder:
"If she hadn't been there, and another guide had stayed to help, my subordinates wouldn't have been hurt."
The other sentries did not dare to get involved in the affairs between the commanders. They pretended to be deaf and dumb, packed up their equipment and got into the armored vehicles.
Cang Lin leaned against the car body with his arms crossed, watching the two of them with interest.
Qi Ye didn't believe what Li Su said at all.
Although they had only been together for about three days, he was completely convinced that Chi Wan was no longer the same Chi Wan as before.
Although she sometimes stares blankly now, she is definitely not the kind of person who would stand by and watch someone die without helping.
Seeing Qi Ye's obvious concern, Li Su couldn't help but sarcastically say:
"I didn't do anything to her. She didn't come out for so long. I guess she didn't want to go with us and called her father to complain."
The next second, Qi Ye grabbed his collar.
His tone was the harshest he had ever heard:
"She has just been poisoned and has not recovered yet. Lead the way, I want to find her."
Hearing what he said, Li Su put away the sarcasm in his eyes.
His eyes sank slightly, and the inquiry in his eyes seemed to confirm the truth of this sentence.
He shook off Qi Ye's hand and looked at Cang Lin, who had stopped watching the show and suddenly became serious.
The latter seemed to have thought of something at this moment and nodded seriously:
"Indeed, it was the scorpion grass toxin. He was in a coma for two days. Logically speaking... he hasn't recovered yet."
It's the toxin from the scorpion grass. If a normal guide is poisoned by it, it will take five or six days to be treated.
Not to mention that she had just broken through the psychedelic fog, which consumed so much mental energy.
At this moment, Chi Wan's extremely pale face flashed through Li Su's mind.
He just thought she was afraid of him.
Without saying a word, he walked quickly towards Building 06.
The sentries who got on the car nearby were puzzled when they saw that all their commanders had entered the building.
All I can do is wait here.
…
Twelve underground floors.
【Host, wake up! 】
[The polluted bodies underground are crawling towards here. Wake up and leave here!]
The system voice in Chi Wan's mind was anxious and urgent.
She tried to open her heavy eyes, but she had no strength at all.
[Host, wake up quickly. This is the last mission that determines whether I can become a regular employee. You can't die at this moment...]
"If you die now, I won't just fail the mission, I'll get a negative score. I'll probably be expelled from the system!"
Chi Wan tried hard to open his eyes. Downstairs, the sound of the polluted body climbing was getting closer and closer.
She stretched out her hand with all her strength and found a rusty piece of iron. She supported her weak body and sat up. She tried to stand up, but she had no strength at all.
“Hehehe——”
“Hehehe——”
The contaminated bodies emitted sounds as thick as phlegm from their throats. These contaminated bodies, whose legs had been chopped off by the sentries, stretched out their gray-green arms like skeletons and climbed up the stairs.
Without exception, their completely black pupils were fixed on Chi Wan.
Chi Wan grabbed the handrail tightly and tried to get up again.
Still failed.
Amid the system's constant encouragement, she was so anxious that tears welled up in her eyes.
All of a sudden, a feeling of extreme despair and discouragement rose in her heart. She leaned on the armrest, holding the rusty iron sheet tightly with both hands and looked at the polluted bodies that were getting closer and closer.
"System, I'm so disappointing. I'm sorry... I've prevented you from becoming a regular employee..."
The choked words caused the system to fall into a brief silence.
After a brief silence, it said with relief:
[Don't blame yourself, host. At worst, I'll just quit being this system. I'm the least capable and I love being lazy. Not being able to turn is exactly what I deserve. But right now, I really hope you can live well.]
As a system, it is difficult for it to develop any feelings with the host.
But in just a few days, it really treated Chi Wan as a friend.
The system's words gave Chi Wan strength at this moment.
Even though her hand holding the iron sheet was weak, she did not show any cowardice in retreating.
