Chapter 9: The Appearance of an S-Rank Guide
The key vanished into nothingness after the door was opened.
The roar echoed throughout the polluted area.
After separating from the sentries at Dawn Base, Yun Zhao and He Xiang ran across the street corner.
Turn into another street.
There are even more mutants here, appearing out of nowhere, densely packed and taking up most of the street.
The puddles on the ground gathered into a black, sticky liquid, hissing and emitting white smoke.
The mutant's lower half of its face was covered in sharp mouthparts that wriggled in the air, and black mucus covered it from head to toe. It was completely unrecognizable and terrifying.
The slime was coated with an unknown dark substance.
It will invade the Sentinel's mental domain.
Once the dark matter accumulates to an excessive amount, the mental realm is devoured, and the Sentinels gradually lose their minds, become mentally violent, and eventually transform into monsters.
Guides can provide mental guidance to sentinels, using mental threads to clear away these substances and prevent sentinel mutations.
Yun Zhao and He Xiang faced numerous difficulties.
The streets were packed with mutants, and even with mental threads controlling them, it was difficult to pass through them.
He Xiang had run out of bullets, so he used his gun as a stick to push aside the mutants blocking his way. The gun barrel gradually began to deform under the corrosive effects of the slime.
Qingshan Town has scarce resources, and this gun was left to me by my elder brother.
Ignoring the heartache, He Xiang worked hard to push the mutant aside, clearing a path for passage.
However, progress was very slow; after more than ten minutes, they had only walked a few meters.
The sky above was shrouded in gray.
Night is about to fall.
The rioting mutants' terrifying faces became blurred, their mouthparts appearing and disappearing, sometimes resembling normal people, and sometimes resembling hideous and disgusting monsters.
Some howled numbly, while others wept softly.
The sound was sometimes low and suppressed, and sometimes sharp and piercing, like the roar of a vengeful ghost.
He Xiang's mind gradually became hazy, and his movements as he dug at the mutant became slower and slower.
The little bluebird made a "plop" sound.
He flapped his wings with disdain and contempt, and countless fluorescent lights cleansed the dark matter clinging to his body.
"Don't go any further, you can't get through." Yun Zhao called out to him.
He Xiang's eyes regained their clarity, and he came to his senses.
He turned his head and saw Yun Zhao retreat to the steps and stand in front of a shop with a roller shutter door, looking at the endless mutants.
This contaminated area has been teeming with so many mutant species in less than a day.
It's easy to imagine how large the number of monsters must have been in those contaminated zones that formed in the early days of the Dark Ages.
The bizarre contaminated zone will persist, and the mutant species will never be extinct.
Yun Zhao looked up at the sky. The gray sky was dark and oppressive, making it hard to breathe.
With a calm expression, she slowly raised her right hand.
moment!
A powerful mental force surged forth from her body.
A burst of green fluorescence suddenly appeared and spread rapidly.
The little bluebird flapped its wings and flew away.
He Xiang froze, then subconsciously looked up at the sky.
The little bluebird flew higher and higher, and in the blink of an eye, its figure disappeared into the gray mist above. It kept changing in the air, its shape gradually becoming transparent, and the changes were sometimes large and sometimes small.
He Xiang realized what was happening, and his expression changed drastically.
Sister Yun Zhao is... trying to purify the entire polluted area!
This is absolutely insane!
A deafening roar echoed through the sky.
Suddenly.
A giant bluebird of unusually large size has appeared in the world.
It spread its enormous wings, raised its head and let out a cry, its whole body radiating a bluish-green light, and each feather was covered with fluorescent spiritual threads.
Those blue, beastly eyes, as if looking down on ants, were cold, arrogant, and disdainful of all living beings.
He Xiang was stunned and stood there.
Many people in the contaminated area witnessed this magnificent scene.
In mid-air.
The enormous, glowing object was so conspicuous.
Cheng Dongshu opened his mouth in surprise, and a commotion broke out in the car behind.
"It's Yun Zhao!"
"Is Yun Zhao in danger? Why has the Great Bluebird appeared?"
The mutants suddenly surged in, heading in a certain direction.
Strangely, the mutants seemed not to see them and walked around the car.
The people of Qingshan Town know that the barrier left by Yun Zhao is still there.
No one dared to make any rash moves.
Until... the Great Bluebird appeared.
The town's sentries all pressed against the car windows, watching the bluebird with worried eyes.
The bluebird, after spreading its wings, was even larger than when it appeared in their spiritual realm.
Everyone has a question.
Can such a big creature still be called a bird?
To this day, they still don't know what Yun Zhao's original spiritual form truly is...
*
Xie Tu's team members were searching along the streets when they naturally noticed the strange sight in the sky.
Not long ago.
The mutants in the contaminated area rioted, and the battle-hardened sentinels immediately realized that someone had found the key.
Everyone turned around and ran towards the 'door'.
Who knew that they would encounter such a scene when they were only halfway there.
The rabbit pointed at the large, glowing bluebird in the sky and exclaimed in surprise, "What is that?!"
"Holy crap! Holy crap! Help me think of something else besides holy crap?!"
Tao Haohao shouted loudly, "It's so beautiful! It even glows!"
How could there be such a beautiful spiritual entity?
The 1.9-meter-tall man was so excited that he wanted to capture the moment on camera.
This contaminated area is unusually large.
The gray fog blocked some of the sentry's senses.
Since every street looks exactly the same, people with a poor sense of direction can easily get lost in the area.
The search is quite difficult.
At that time.
Xie Tu had just come out of one of the shops, holding a yellowed business license in his hand.
A riot broke out.
A different kind of spiritual aura suddenly appeared.
He looked up and saw a magnificent, luminous bluebird slowly taking off and spreading its enormous wings in the distance.
Xie Tu paused slightly, "Phoenix..."
The guide's spiritual form was actually a phoenix!
A few streets away.
Two familiar figures were running towards the phoenix.
"Isn't the phoenix red?" Duan Xi asked Song Liang, puzzled.
Song Liang was shocked and ran while explaining to Duan Xi, "Red is the phoenix, and blue is the luan. This is the blue luan, one of the five phoenixes."
As is widely known, Xie Tu's spiritual form is a fire phoenix.
This guide is also a phoenix, so they must be a great match for their captain!
Very high!
They had to hurry and help the captain get the person.
Although Xie Tu didn't say it, the team members could vaguely sense that he was only one step away from becoming mutated.
In fact, just last year, the Dawn Base borrowed senior guides from other bases for Xie Tu.
However, after a matching test, none of them exceeded a score of 30.
Only interventions with a matching degree of 60 are effective.
The higher the compatibility, the more compatible the two people are.
The guide can only provide outer-layer guidance to the non-bonded sentinel's spiritual realm.
Xie Tu is also a very territorial person and dislikes guides intruding into his mental realm.
They directly refused to attempt any external drainage measures.
Only take inhibitors to suppress the power that is about to erupt.
The team members wholeheartedly agreed.
In the guidance room where the guides are stationed, you may sometimes encounter guides with low compatibility.
The process of counseling is comparable to torture, with minimal effect and extreme pain.
Unless there is a mental breakdown, people generally prefer to use suppressants.
But suppression is not the same as channeling and clearing.
The dark matter in the spiritual realm is accumulating more and more...
Sooner or later, they will all be mutated into monsters and become one of the mutant species.
This is why Xie Tu wanted to find a guide for the team.
"Wait!" Duan Xi suddenly stopped and shouted.
Song Liang was startled. "What's wrong?"
Duan Xi stared intently at him, "The captain with the Fire Phoenix Spirit Body is an S-rank Sentinel, and that Azure Phoenix Guide... could she also be an S-rank?"
Since the Dark Ages began, no S-rank guide has ever been born.
Everyone assumes that the highest level a guide can be is A.
If that guide is an S-class...
The two exchanged a glance and started running like madmen, shouting, "We'll risk our lives and tear off all pretenses if we have to, to get this person!"
