Chapter 42 Chapter 42 Useless Man
I returned to the dormitory to rest for a while. As soon as I walked in, Clara, who was meditating, opened her eyes and greeted me unexpectedly: "You're back."
Xu Shanshan was surprised and said, "Yes."
I didn't understand why she suddenly called me. After thinking about it, I thought she must want to ask about her brother, but she didn't log into the virtual system.
Xu Shanshan: "I was busy today and didn't communicate with them online."
Seeing that she was silent, she thought there must be a misunderstanding. She was just saying hello because Clara was not like Wu Ke, who was always warm and caring every time she came back, and she was not used to it yet.
"fine."
Clara smiled and said, "I've contacted them." Then she lifted the mattress, picked up her laptop from the bed, and shook it in her hand.
"Wow~ you——"
Xu Shanshan stopped talking abruptly. She didn't expect that someone who looked like a model student would actually do some tricks in private.
She thought the other party was a ruthless king who would kill anyone who hindered his progress.
This impression was quickly broken when the dim light source before going to bed changed from one to two.
Fortunately, she was lying in bed, and then, the other party brought even better news - the guide rope was found.
Although the person has not been rescued yet, with the location marked, we are closer to success.
That group of wandering people had strong execution capabilities, and she thought that the day of reunion should be soon.
At night, she suddenly had an inspiration. She hadn't dared to initiate a conversation before, but now she felt like joking, "I heard they call them Lian Luo One, Two... Five, so shouldn't you be called Lian Luo Six?"
Sixth? This word popped up in her mind, floating around domineeringly.
Clara turned off the screen, looked at the ceiling, and recalled: "I am not the sixth child."
She was ranked eighth, but she was the first to successfully transform into a guide and survive. The damned ones are dead, but they still exist.
When they got in touch again, she was not as excited as she had expected. Over the years, she thought her memory had faded. At the beginning of the call, she was silent for a long time until she heard that familiar call.
That string of numbers seemed to drag her back to the days in the laboratory. "Clara," she told them her new name, repeating it twice.
In the dead of night, two people are thinking about the same thing, with the bright moon as a witness.
The next morning, Xu Shanshan had already gotten used to running three kilometers in the morning. Although she was still out of breath, she was no longer at the lowest level.
During lunch break, she walked towards the gate and didn't see Carl, who often stood outside the inspection gate.
A car stopped by the roadside with a familiar license plate number. When she got closer, she saw her direct supervisor sitting inside. The man politely invited her to get in.
She wondered: Where is Karl?
The door was unlocked. She stepped into the car and saw a box of washed strawberries with cream in the armrest. She fastened her seat belt and said, "Good afternoon."
Shan Hao: "What do you want to eat?"
"Let's eat in the cafeteria."
She was sweating profusely in the morning, and she wanted to eat quickly, then go back to the dormitory, wash up, and take a nap.
As she moved forward, the car was about to start moving, so she hurriedly called out, "Wait, there's someone else. I'll send him a message."
Shan Hao: "He is sick and can't come."
"Are you sick?"
This reason... He was full of energy yesterday, how come he is suddenly bedridden? She opened the address book and found the contact.
Shan Hao waited quietly for her to act. After a while, the phone beeped and stopped working. She raised her eyes, her cheeks flushed with sweat, and looked up. "I want to go to the hospital."
"What are you going to the hospital for?"
"He is sick. As a leader, I must go to visit him." She only has this one subordinate at her disposal, and she can't just lose him.
Seeing that the call couldn't go through, she wanted Shan Hao to take her there or tell her more information.
The man didn't say anything, but his mood was revealed from the movement of his index finger. During the initial audition, he specifically asked Nancy to choose an A-level sentry, but he didn't expect to make things worse and actually bring the two of them together.
And this sentry is so useless.
Yesterday, when it was almost dark, he received a message saying that the guide needed his help with something that he couldn't do himself. He thought it was something, but it turned out that the guide wanted to eat strawberries picked the next day.
He later learned from the patrol team that the sentries were fighting, but the funny thing was that Carl was beaten half to death. Fortunately, Nancy arrived in time.
Otherwise, it's hard to say whether the tree will die. He has no sympathy for this, and staying with her is bound to be a challenge.
He went to see another of the parties that night and found that her exposed vagina was covered with deep and shallow cuts and that she had been kicked into a solitary confinement cell.
He couldn't say it openly about the jealousy, but Carl couldn't even complete his own duties, so perhaps it would be more appropriate for him to be transferred back to the patrol team.
It takes time for people to grow. Rather than protecting the guide, he should be attacked and crippled by his rival, but after all, he is a member of the Feather family.
"Don't be too nice to him in the future."
The woman was stunned, as if she couldn't believe what he said. Her neck was stiff and twisted like a machine. There seemed to be a big question mark engraved on her forehead.
He thought again and realized that this was not true. Even if the guide treated him coldly, or scolded or beat him, the recipient would be happy to accept it, and others would still envy him.
As long as he occupies that position, it will be difficult for him not to be attacked.
"Have you ever considered replacing the guard?"
Xu Shanshan answered decisively, "No."
In the foreseeable future, Carl would be put in a sack and beaten up whenever he walked down the street. The problem still needed to be solved, and she didn't want the competition among the sentries to affect her.
After all, she takes them too seriously.
"Apply for another guard position. Your special abilities can be very useful. Personal safety is very important."
In her future work, she would mostly be in contact with high-level sentries. If they really went crazy, she would find someone to intercept them together. Choose a strong one, at least she would not be sent to the intensive care unit.
He thought about it and decided that the sentinels who were experienced, senior, capable, stable and not jealous should either be promoted to lead the team and take up management positions, or go to the front line and not stay in the tower for a long time, or die.
In fact, he could do so, but the idea of a boss becoming a subordinate sounds like an abuse of power for personal gain, so it is unlikely to be approved.
He has a candidate, but he needs to consider it further to see if there are other people and ask the person concerned about his wishes.
The officer told her: Carl had acute gastroenteritis and needed to be hospitalized for a few days.
It was probably a temporary excuse. She would rather believe that he had a secret mission, but seeing the leader's calm look, it shouldn't be a big deal.
After the two finished their meal, Shan Hao handed over the box at the elevator exit. "These are the strawberries you asked for."
"Thanks."
During lunch break and going to work in the afternoon, she had made an appointment with Ares to help him with his troubles, but she couldn't get in touch with him. All of them lost contact.
After finishing her work for the day, she clocked out and went to the cafeteria first. There were not many people there, and it was not even time for lunch yet. She sat there with her face in her arms and stared blankly for a while, then decided to go to the entertainment room first and sing some nursery rhymes.
An unexpected thing happened. She was singing K in the soundproof room. She opened the door and walked out. She found a letter on the table. It was so classical. She took a look at it and thought it must have been left by someone. She looked around and saw no one.
It was time for dinner. As she crossed the open space, the envelope suddenly flew up without any wind, floated in front of her, and fell down. The curtains on the window did not move. She pinched it, turned it over, and saw a line of words: Dear Guide, with a small mushroom pattern next to it.
Can you pretend you didn't see it?
She saw a trash can in the corner, walked over to it, and was about to throw the letter in, but she couldn't help but open it and take a look, after all, she had never received a love letter.
The letter paper had a faint fragrance and was very thin. I didn't dare hold it hard in my hand for fear of crushing it, but when I looked closely, I loosened my grip and the envelope fell into my pocket. I quickly crumpled it into a ball and threw it away.
She jogged back to the elevator because this was totally out of character. Was it an anonymous love letter or a suicidal warning?
Why was her name covered in red pen? What was that little figure with an arrow piercing its heart? She couldn't understand and was shocked. Was it blood?
She's going to the air combat group, which is closer to here.
The elevator door slowly closed.
But when she didn't know, the zipper of her bag was unzipped, and the love letter slipped in unconsciously, and then it was zipped back up. She just stared at the elevator floor in fear.
