Chapter 224 Negligence
"If you use all means to monopolize her, it would be too unfair and disrespectful to her."
Li Su left with these words and strode away.
Although his steps were firm, his dark brown eyes became increasingly darker after the mechanical door blocked his view.
…
Day 5.
When Chi Wan arrived at the alliance's preparation center, he saw Li Su from afar wearing a brand new and neat combat uniform.
Having led the legion in battle for many years, he has an extremely superior physique, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist. With his leadership temperament, he still stands out in the crowd.
Sensing Chi Wan's mental power approaching, Li Su turned around to look at her.
Like a phoenix reborn from the dust, Chi Wan, who has experienced so much and is reborn, is so beautiful that it cannot be described in words.
Even though she has lost all her memories, the toughness and gentleness that emanates from her inside out makes it difficult to conceal her dazzling radiance.
Li Su's heart skipped a beat uncontrollably, and his usually calm and deep gaze became a little uneasy.
It was hidden by his calm temperament and was not very obvious.
"Commander Li is nervous?"
"No."
He pursed his lips tightly, his eyes were serious and earnest, without a single mistake.
If Chi Wan hadn't seen that he was holding the weapon in the wrong direction, he would have really believed his "no".
This woman was not as aggressive and competitive as the previous ones, nor was she as skilled as them in seducing her.
Weren't they familiar with each other before?
Chi Wan, who was good at observation and summarization, confirmed this idea almost instantly.
Since she is not familiar with him, it is better for her to keep her distance.
When the task is completed, this employee will be laid off first!
Thinking of this, Chi Wan stopped at a distance from him, and said in a polite yet distant tone:
"I've already reviewed the details of today's mission on the way here. Let's get going."
The serious little face was full of responsibility for the task, but she didn't even look at him twice.
Li Su lowered his eyes: "Okay."
I thought to myself that it was normal to feel unfamiliar at first, so I should just take it slow.
Relationships are cultivated through cooperation.
After he finished speaking, he got on his own armored vehicle first. As soon as his black leather boots stepped into the cabin, he turned around and extended his hand to Chi Wan.
But he found that she was no longer behind him, but ran to merge with the sentries.
Looking at how relaxed she was while chatting and laughing, she seemed even more relaxed than when she was talking to him.
Li Su felt bad and got out of the car and walked towards Chi Wan:
"Isn't Guide Chi Wan riding in the same car with me?"
"I can just follow their car. It will be more convenient for me to perform my duties as a guide."
Li Su was silent.
Seeing her words so considerate of the sentinel, he couldn't find any reason to refuse her request.
The other sentinels had no time to care about their commander's mood at this time.
It was a great thing that the guide Chi Wan, the goddess of the league, was willing to ride in the same car with them!
If it weren't for the fact that each armored vehicle could only carry 20 people or less, all the sentries present would have been eager to squeeze in.
So after everyone happily followed Chi Wan into the car, they were surprised to see—
Commander Li, who always strictly abided by the alliance rules and acted in a methodical manner, squeezed into the car with a serious face.
The sentry beside Chi Wan met his deep brown eyes, received the signal, and reluctantly moved his butt and got off the bus to give up his seat.
Li Su sat next to Chi Wan and looked at her with a puzzled look:
"Guide Chi Wan is right. This will also make it easier for me to fulfill my duties as commander."
The sentries in the cabin: "..."
Who will give them peanuts.
…
The car quickly arrived at its destination, Red Ant City.
Along the way, the slightly bitter hazelnut scent belonging to Li Su always lingered in Chi Wan's nostrils. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, he sat very close to her. With occasional work communication and focused gaze, the distance between the two of them became more intimate than ordinary colleagues should have.
Chi Wan felt very uncomfortable.
As soon as the car stopped, she followed the sentry team out of the car.
This was her first real battle after recovering some of her mental strength and energy. Chi Wan could feel the vigorous energy in her body gathering momentum. She was very much looking forward to this actual combat and wanted to recover some memories of her past battles.
The terrain of the Red Ant City is complex, and there are far more deformed creatures than deformed humans.
Such a polluted city requires sentries and guides to maintain high levels of vigilance and respond flexibly throughout the entire process.
Chi Wan, who was completely focused on the battle, jogged to catch up with the team, not noticing that Li Su's eyes were almost glued to her the entire time.
After following the team's assistance in setting up mental barriers and experimenting with the use of supernatural powers, Chi Wan was pleasantly surprised to find that he was getting better and better at fighting.
In just over half an hour, he went from being a rear-end auxiliary guide to being a combat assistant at the front.
Although his abilities have not yet fully recovered, he is comparable to an S-class energy sentinel.
Li Su always stayed close to Chi Wan, trying to severely injure her before the high-level contaminated bodies that she couldn't deal with suddenly attacked.
The battle was chaotic, and the light in the densely built Red Ant City was not bright. Chi Wan didn't notice Li Su's behavior at all. He just felt that he was very lucky because the high-level pollutants he encountered happened to be injured.
With the extremely smooth battle, she became bolder and released all her energy to fight.
Silver energy surged in his body, his hair fluttered, and he gradually acquired some of the demeanor that had astonished the entire galaxy when he became a god.
So, dazzling.
Li Su's movements were slightly delayed.
He had never been distracted during a battle before, but this was the first time he was distracted.
Just at this moment, several high-level polluted bodies suddenly attacked. Li Su noticed it keenly and turned around to fight back, but the 0.1 second delay still allowed him to be hit. The mutant wolf claws cut three deep black bloody wounds on his back.
Li Su quickly killed them and opened the black leather supply bag around his waist to look for anti-pollution injection.
At this moment, a large number of flying pollutants came from afar, like fast-moving dark clouds.
It looks like a highly organized group of polluters.
Li Su immediately gave up looking for the injection, picked up his knife and rushed forward, his eyes searching for Chi Wan's figure in the crowd. Seeing that she actually rushed forward to block the sentries, his heart tightened slightly. In desperation, the Lion King broke through the air with the power to tear everything apart.
The battle was over quickly within twenty minutes.
But even though the speed was fast enough, several sentinels were still injured in the initial chaos.
Chi Wan checked the injuries of the injured sentries:
"Are you all right?"
Without saying a word, she began to release her mental power to soothe their spirits, connecting them with silver energy to purify their pollution values.
The sentries expressed their gratitude repeatedly. Their bodies recovered quickly with Chi Wan's help, and their admiration for her grew even more.
Li Su walked forward, but before he could speak, he saw Chi Wan, who had finished the treatment, stand up and turn to look at him with a slightly cold gaze:
“It is said that Commander Li, as the Supreme Admiral of the Interstellar Legion and the future successor to the Marshal, has always been the most responsible for his sentinels.
But just now, the incident happened suddenly, and you were just standing there in a daze. These sentries could have been spared from injury."
Super SSS-level commanders already have the ability to sense danger in advance, and it is their duty to sense danger and send signals in advance.
The serious little face in front of him was full of accusations of his negligence in work. Li Su lowered his eyes:
"It's my fault."
The stinging pain in his throat outweighed the discomfort from the wound and contaminated fluid on his back.
The smell of blood filled the air, and the taste on the tip of the tongue had a hint of rust, which coincided with the smell in the underground building.
How disgusted he was that day because he wrongly accused her of ignoring her teammates.
How bitter he felt at that moment because she treated him differently from others.
Chi Wan noticed that his thin lips had turned pale, and his tightly furrowed brows seemed to be covered by a thick layer of rain, and his eyes were slightly dim.
It seems a bit lonely.
She looked away and continued forward.
As soon as she took a step, he grabbed her wrist.
Chi Wan paused and looked up to meet those brown eyes that were filled with turbid emotions.
"It seems like you've been deliberately distancing yourself from me all this time."
