Chapter 27 The Water She Drank
"They have all entered the virtual space. Who do you think will take first place this time?"
In the corner of the trial field, Fu Sui folded his arms and turned his head to look at Xie Huan, who had a cold expression on his face.
"No matter who wins, I just hope no students get hurt. The previous competition was too brutal. Wasn't it because of disappointment that you chose to give up joining the fleet?"
Hearing this answer, Fu Sui's eyes turned cold.
"The Empire sees us as consumables. Without equally high-level guides, the Sentinels' strength cannot be fully utilized. At the very least, I won't go and die until a highly qualified guide appears."
"Perhaps, the guide you want has appeared."
Remembering the principal's instructions, Xie Huan set his sights on Alice. This student from the slums had an exceptionally high level in the mental strength test. It was only for the exchange meeting that her level was kept secret.
On the screen, she was being led by a taller blonde girl, as if she was chasing the sun.
…
"Two compressed biscuits, 500 milliliters of purified water, and a nutritional supplement. As a supplement, it's too little."
Si Jue frowned and looked at Lilith. The sentinels didn't need to be considered for the time being. If these things were only given to one guide, it would be barely enough, but now there were two in their team.
Lilith shook her head indifferently. She didn't feel hungry. Besides, keeping the heroine strong would help the plot progress.
"Give it to Alice. It's fine with me."
She stood up and marked a small purple dot on the optical computer. Comparing it with the map in her memory, she needed only a few more coordinate points to calculate the final destination.
"Senior..."
"Why are you trying to give in? There's more than one supply station here. Can't you just find a few more? Or do you think I can't do it?"
Qi Hanxing said this unhappily, and walked forward on his own, not knowing who had made him angry.
Fortunately, we found a few more places to resupply our supplies. Although the water source was still scarce, we did get a lot of nutrients.
Lilith shrugged. In the scorching heat, her feet felt like they were burned. No matter how strong she was, she couldn't stop the water from being lost.
She turned her head and saw that the heroine's face had turned pale. She supported her hands on her legs and walked forward stiffly. Qi Hanxing's expression was not very good either. He was cleaning up dangerous creatures such as scorpions and venomous snakes while blocking the sunlight.
As for Si Jue, he was like a rabbit in danger, his body was tense and alert.
As if sensing her gaze, the silver-haired boy turned his head, his red eyes like round rubies.
"Hmm? What's wrong, Lady Lilith?"
He lowered his voice and took out a bottle of water from his bag without hesitation.
"Are you thirsty? Get some water."
The bottle was still unopened. Five hours had passed since he entered Taihe Changming, and he hadn't drunk a single sip of water.
Is this the top S-class sentinel in the individual soldier category? His physical strength is indeed terrifying.
Lilith was not polite, she twisted it open and took a sip to moisten her dry lips.
"You should drink a little too, don't fall down before us."
She returned the water. Si Jue took the water bottle and stared at the open bottle mouth, which had a trace of crystal.
The place touched by Lilith's lips and tongue, where the sweet smell was left, was too hot. The temperature of the desert was beyond the limit that ordinary people could bear. Even the sentinels would feel the heat.
He felt like he was about to smoke, and he unconsciously exerted force with his hands, squeezing out a little water from the bottle mouth and shaking it onto his hand.
If he also kissed her, it would be an indirect kiss. Being able to feel the breath of his own guide was something that a sentinel could not resist.
Covering it with his lips and teeth, exchanging saliva unilaterally, swallowing up the traces belonging to Lilith, and then, treasure it up.
Si Jue couldn't control the crazy thoughts in her mind, which was even more uncontrollable than doing bad things in her room.
Since Lady Lilith had given him the Aquarius, that meant she had tacitly agreed, right? She knew exactly what kind of nasty creatures the Sentinels were. They were like wild beasts in constant heat when faced with a guide they loved. She knew it all, so he couldn't be blamed for overthinking it.
It was just a bottle of pure water, but Si Jue felt that it was the sweet rain he had longed for. He approached it devoutly as if worshipping, but the next second, the bottle in his hand disappeared.
"I'm dying of heat, Si Jue, give me some water."
Qi Hanxing bumped into him from the side, his hot breath being washed away by the cool water. He gulped down a few mouthfuls before wiping his mouth vigorously.
"Thank you."
The water bottle was thrown back again. When Si Jue caught it again, only the smell that the sentry hated remained on it. The sweet fragrance disappeared.
"Um?"
Lilith looked at Si Jue who suddenly became depressed and felt a little strange. Could it be that he was a little discouraged after seeing that Qi Hanxing and the heroine got along well?
Thinking she saw through everything, Lilith patted her shoulder.
"Come on, young man. By the way, look at that red dot over there. Is that the marked coordinate point?"
Try your best to catch up with the heroine and stop thinking about stabbing me, Lilith thought as she ran towards the red light.
The coordinates for the supply point were halfway complete, and two markers had been found. Lilith scaled it down and compared it with the map, finally confirming that the teleportation point was about three hours southwest.
Although you can choose to enter the teleportation directly, the points may be much less. To be safe, you should try to find the remaining three marked places as quickly and accurately as possible.
But how to guide the three protagonists to the coordinates? She can't just suddenly say "I know the way, follow me", that would be too weird.
"Ah, there seems to be a red light over there."
During a short break, Alice suddenly spoke, pointing excitedly at the distance. A red light shot up into the sky, like a beam of light, suddenly appearing in the desert.
"Another marked point. Let's go and make a quick decision."
Qi Hanxing's eyes flashed with eagerness. He hated this hot environment. He also hated the vague irritation he felt when he saw Lilith standing on tiptoe to talk to Si Jue. It must be because the desert environment was too unsuitable for a kitten like him.
Lilith and the others did not delay any longer and rushed to the place where the red light was on as quickly as possible. As long as they placed their light brains at the center of the marked point, they could successfully get points.
But the closer she got, the more alert Lilith became. Something was wrong. The red light was too bright.
She suddenly stopped.
"etc!"
