At this moment, Shu Jingtong suddenly heard a strange sound.
It's hard to describe. He felt it was like a vague breeze, or a gently surging wave, or maybe a gentle moonlight.
In short, it was illusory, but it passed by at the critical moment, sweeping away the fear and confusion in his heart, making his mind clear and calm.
Shu Jingtong stood up shakily, and a small white chinchilla appeared in front of him.
Originally, after these years, his spiritual body strength has increased a lot, and the size of the spiritual body he transformed has become very large. He is considered one of the best in the Guide Academy.
However, at this time, he himself was severely frightened, and the spiritual body he manifested was very difficult, and the size was naturally very small.
The pure white kitten's fur stood up when it saw the horrible monster crawling towards it. It arched its body, raised its tail, and let out a shrill cry.
It’s useless, Shu Jingtong thought in despair, what use is the guide’s mental power at a time like this
He stepped back a little bit, and his back hit the cold wall. There was no way forward.
The monster with long black hair came down from the body that had been drained of blood. Its long black hair left the shrunken body behind and waded through the thick pool of blood on the floor, smearing the crimson blood all over the floor.
When it saw Shu Jingtong and the little cat, it showed a happy look on its face, and with its smiling head supported by its hair, it crawled towards them staggeringly.
The small snow-white spirit stood in front of Shu Jingtong, shaking its thin hind legs and trying to make threatening roars.
Shu Jingtong bent down and held it in his arms.
He was going to die anyway, and he couldn't bear to let his own half suffer first.
The long mosquito-like mouthparts were getting closer and closer. With the corner of my eye, I could even clearly see the pieces of meat and blood hanging on it.
Shu Jingtong hugged the soft kitten that nestled in his arms.
A volley of bullets fell from the sky with a whistling sound and hit the monster's head densely.
The head that was hit repeatedly by dense bullets showed a look of surprise.
Although it was shot in the bullet in an instant, it was still alive.
A black military boot fell from the sky, and with the force of falling gravity, it stepped on the head, crushing the deformed head and the thick black hair.
Red blood and some strangely colored liquids splashed all over Shu Jing's face.
I don’t know whether it belongs to a monster or the person whose blood has just been drained by it.
The one who came was a sentry, a woman with a pigtail hanging down the back of her head, wearing the uniform of the airship guard.
She held a not-so-advanced spear from an old era, with various weapons hanging around her waist and hips, and broad feathers like eagle wings disappearing from her back.
The girl jumped down from the roof, and when she landed, she stepped on the monster that was hit by her bullets. When she saw Shu Jingtong, she whistled in an ungentlemanly way.
"Wow, a little kitten guide." She bent down and hooked the chin of the kitten in Shu Jingtong's arms with her finger. Without even looking, she raised her hand and shot a string of bullets.
In a dark corner of the roof, a monster with disheveled hair twisted its head flexibly, avoiding bullets and slipping along the wall.
The monster suddenly appeared until now, and the time has only passed for a short time.
In the sky outside the porthole, the sentinels guarding the airship finally appeared.
They either ride their own spiritual body and flew in the air and fighting with the heads of people around the airship.
The Sentinels and the mutants collided with each other.
The monsters clinging outside the glass windows were attracted by the fresh flesh and blood. Many of them shifted their targets and laughed, cried, and staggered towards the sentinels.
"Everyone, take action. Draw the curtains and use the table to block the hole." The female sentry who entered the cabin stood still, firing her gun to chase the monster, and began to issue orders.
"Leave the monsters outside to the sentries. As long as we seal the glass, the monsters won't want to come in if they can't see us."
The airship flew in the air, shaking under the impact of the monster.
The interior of the cabin was in a mess, with dead bodies, monster remains, and blood all over the floor.
Everyone's legs were weak and no one dared to go to the windows.
Shu Jingtong seemed to hear that strange sound again.
Of all the people, only a girl in a black sportswear was running. She stepped over the sticky blood and garbage and reached out to pull down the window shutters on both sides of the long hull.
She had been doing this since the beginning, but it was too chaotic just now so no one noticed. She moved quickly inside the messy and shaking airship, stretched out her arms in front of the strange faces outside the window, and closed the sunshade on the glass window with a bang, blocking out those strange views.
"You go too." The female sentry kicked Shu Jingtong and yelled to all the stunned people, "If you don't want to die, move. If you want to die, you can jump off now, and it can save some energy for the airship."
Shu Jingtong took a few steps. Strangely, the fear that could not be controlled in his heart seemed to dissipate a lot inexplicably.
The sharp gunshot rang almost close to his scalp. A head that was sticking close to the cave entrance and trying to crawl in was shattered by the bullet of the female sentry. It stuck outside the cave entrance, sticking out its long tongue with its eyes open in death.
Shu Jingtong forced himself not to look at it and tried to hold the table against the strong wind.
Someone came over from the other side to help him. Shu Jingtong looked up and saw that it was Nicole, who had the same pale face as him.
Nicole, who was born in an aristocratic family and was always well dressed, had messy hair and blood all over her body like him. She reached out her hand from the other side, trembling, lifted the table, and nodded to him.
The two men shook their legs and pushed together, and the large dining table was finally pushed against the gap. The hurricane that was blowing in the airship stopped at once.
Perhaps it was that mysterious sound that had been looming all the time.
Or maybe it was that when everything was in chaos, with someone issuing orders, everyone seemed to have found a backbone.
The passengers who had collapsed on the ground gradually stood up.
Some people trembled as they helped pull down the baffles that blocked the sunlight. Some people helped to hold up the opened cabin, and some people found tape to seal the gap blocked by the table.
The windows were closed one by one, and the dismisses around the outside could not see the people inside the airship, and finally spread out and changed to chase those sentmen flying outside the airship.
Inside the cabin, the last jumping head was stepped on by the female sentry with pigtails.
The space filled with gunshots, screams and turbulence finally quieted down.
Through the tiny gap in the sun visor, one could still peek into the sky outside, where the battle between the sentinels and the monsters was going on fiercely.
The brutal battle is not over yet, and the danger is not over at all.
I just got a moment of precious peace in the dimmed space.
The frightened passenger came back to his senses and breathed a sigh of life.
Shu Jingtong collapsed to the floor, exhausted.
The ground was covered with blood and corpses. But fortunately, they were still alive.
The female sentry who had just kicked him reached out to him.
Shu Jingtong looked at the hand.
It was a woman's hand, a whole circle smaller than his, wrapped in bandages, with rough calluses, and covered in blood and mud.
But that hand was very strong, it held him firmly, and pulled him up from the lying ground in just one go.
This girl was perhaps younger than him, and not as tall as him. Just because she was a sentinel, she had such well-trained hands.
With her hands, she resolutely and firmly saved everyone here.
The female sentry pulled him up, rubbed her fingers together, and laughed, "Oh, this is the first time I've ever held a guide's hand."
She didn't have a noble rank, but was just an ordinary sentinel of commoner origin. But she had a very cheerful smile.
Shu Jingtong opened his mouth and wanted to say something.
The accident happened in that instant.
Just when everyone had relaxed and thought they could at least breathe a sigh of relief.
On the top of the airship, in the dark, a gap appeared at some point. Acidic liquid dripped from the edge of the hole, which was corroded by some strong acid.
Outside the hole that was corroded silently, the face of a middle-aged balding man was revealed.
That particularly huge head, at some point, took advantage of the chaos, avoided everyone's attention, and quietly slipped into the gap between the balloon and the cabin of the airship.
In that secret place, he licked a hole with his highly corrosive saliva.
It lurked silently for an unknown period of time, and when the young female sentry smiled, its sharp, barbed mouth instantly penetrated through the hole, pierced through the young female sentry's body, lifted her up, and dragged her out.
Sneak, wait for your chance, attack with precision, and eliminate the only strong one first.
It's like having wisdom and thinking.
The sentry pierced by the sharp weapon fell into coma, with her head drooping and her hands hanging down. Her body was lifted up by the long spikes, and red blood dripped down her fingers onto Shu Jingtong's face.
The powerful sentinel from the sky was the motivation of him and everyone here before.
But in the blink of an eye, even the sentinels were dead.
Red blood dripped down his face.
This must be a nightmare, one nightmare after another, Shu Jingtong thought, endlessly, just like hell.
A hand with a sports jacket sleeve stretched out in front of him and grabbed the bleeding hand of the sentry in mid-air.
The man's arms were white and slender like all the guides, and there was a little blood on his calm face.
It’s Lin Yuan.
When Lin Yuan grasped the whistle's wrist, he was taken by the powerful power of the monster, and his feet almost left the ground.
But she did not let go. She held the sentry's bleeding palm with her thin white arms and tried to pull it back.
There was a kind of drum sound, as if coming from a mysterious place. The sound came from nowhere, stirring up the blood in the hearts of those who heard it.
Four hands grabbed the bloody arm and struggled to free the sentry from being dragged away by the monster.
Even with the weight of two people hanging on it, they were still no match for the force of the deformed monster.
Nicole rushed over and hugged Lin Yuan's waist.
More people rushed forward, hugging each other one by one to snatch life from the monster's mouth.
Finally, like a tug-of-war, they worked together to snatch the sentry with a pierced body back from the monster's mouth.
The blood-soaked sentry fell unconscious and rolled onto the ground with everyone else.
In the chaos, before Shu Jingtong could get up, he saw someone picking up the gun that the sentry had dropped on the ground.
It’s still that Lin Yuan.
The girl who was also his guide picked up the gun, unskillfully placed the heavy gun on her shoulder, knelt on one leg, raised the muzzle of the gun, aimed at the hole in the roof, and fired.
It missed and the monster outside the cave avoided it.
The powerful recoil caused Lin Yuan's whole body to fall backwards. She fell to the ground, quickly got up, rubbed her shoulders, and raised her gun again.
How could I possibly hit them, Shu Jing thought, with such a heavy gun, and the monsters' movements were so fast that even the eyes could hardly catch their movements. Only the sentinel's eyesight could possibly hit them.
What was strange was that the monster, which had been extremely agile before, suddenly seemed to become stupid and dull at this moment.
It suddenly stopped, staring blankly with its cloudy eyes, drooling, and moving very slowly. Lin Yuan adjusted his posture unskillfully, aimed at the hole, and fired a second shot at it.
Bang, second sound, the monster was shot in the face.
As if he was awake, the giant face with an angry expression moved from the hole.
Although it was hit by a bullet, it did not cause a fatal impact on it, at most it could only temporarily avoid it.
Lin Yuan knelt on one leg on the ground, holding the gun, his eyes fixed on the hole that was still dripping with thick acid.
"Save people." She spoke.
Shu Jingtong was stunned.
"Save the sentinel." Lin Yuan, holding the gun, didn't squint, and said calmly, "She is still alive."
The sentry who was rescued from the monster's mouth was unconscious. There was a horrible hole in her left shoulder. A large amount of blood quickly dyed the floor red. It seemed that she was beyond saving.
But she was still alive, her young face was so miserable that she had no blood, and she had a weak breathing.
"Hurry." Lin Yuan said, and she even used one arm to press the wound that was bleeding profusely.
Shu Jingtong found the first aid box on the airship. As soon as he was going forward, a companion was sitting at the friend next to him while eating, and quietly pulled his clothes.
"Don't go, Jingtong," the companion said, "You are already engaged."
Shu Jingtong was stunned.
"What are you going to look like?" The companion gestured to the chest.
The injured sentry was lying on the ground, wounded on her shoulder. To treat her, he must avoid opening her clothes and touching her skin. As a guide who has been paying attention to etiquette since childhood, under normal circumstances, he should not touch the sentry's body.
"What time is it now?" Shu Jingtong said unhappily.
"He was just a low-level sentry." His companion pulled him tight, "Think about it. When you go back, they will definitely exaggerate this matter. What would your fiancée think if she knew that you had contact with such a civilian sentry on the airship?"
"Don't go. Why bother? She's just a sentinel from a civilian area. There's no point in saving her."
If the sentinel was still alive, it was their life -saving straw.
“You don’t want to end up like Lin Yuan, breaking off the engagement and being laughed at by everyone, do you?” The companion pursed his lips and looked in the direction of Lin Yuan.
Shu Jingtong followed his gaze and saw Lin Yuan, who was called a weirdo by everyone. He held the gun in one hand, staring closely at the gap where the monster could appear at any time, but he used his other hand to press on the sentry's bleeding wound.
The airship was still flying unsteadily, and monsters or sentinels would occasionally crash into the glass outside the window.
In the dimly lit cabin, a beam of sunlight shone through the gap at the top, with fine dust flying in the sunlight.
The dying sentinel was lying in the sun, young girls, long braids, and weak limbs, blood, blood.
Lin Yuan knelt on one leg beside her.
She pursed her lips, stared at the hole where ghosts might appear at any time, and held down the sentry beside her with one hand.
Don't care what people around you are saying.
She never seemed to care and just did what she wanted to do.
Shu Jingtong shook off the classmates who were holding him, and squatted down beside the injured sentry with a first aid kit. He first cut open the sentry's clothes, and then took out the hemostatic forceps to stop the bleeding. The injury was too serious, and he had only studied basic first aid. Can he really save this girl in such an environment
Shu Jing wiped her forehead with her sleeve and found a cold sweat.
There was a person squatting next to him, Nicole, who was from a noble family.
Nicole, who was terrible at all subjects, reached out and took a hemostat. "Let me help. I'm not good at other subjects, but I'm the best at first aid."
Another girl came over and took up the gauze to help wipe the cold sweat from the sentry's forehead, "I, I'm still okay."
She might have forgotten that not long ago, she had sat at the dining table and vowed that she would never touch those poor sentinels even once.
The three men looked at each other, cut open the injured man's clothes with a little shyness, stopped talking, and used their unskilled movements to do their best to save the critically endangered sentry.
Lin Yuan fired again with a bang.
The monster's face appeared through the hole in the roof.
Pale, bloated, and drooling.
It quietly moved to another dark corner, opened a new hole, and was looking for an opportunity to launch a sneak attack.
The strange thing is that its extremely agile movements seemed to be stuck at the moment it attempted a sneak attack, and it stupidly showed its face at the entrance of the cave.
It seemed to be trapped in a strange dream, with a confused look on its face.
Its stiff and slow movements made it a huge target, and it was shot by Lin Yuan, destroying half of its face.
The monster screamed, looked at Lin Yuan with resentment on its mutilated face, and left quickly again.
Shu Jingtong, who was undergoing temporary first aid, was not frightened by the gunshots beside his ears.
He felt very strange, at this moment he felt only peace and tranquility in his heart. This calm mood allowed him to hold the hemostat and suture needle steadily and treat the sentry's wound.
That feeling comes again.
It was like a gentle breeze blowing across my heart, blowing away the anxiety there.
A bright moon hangs quietly in the night sky, and the moonlight shines softly on the earth, making people no longer afraid.
The waves surged slightly under the soft moonlight, and the white waves gently licked the beach.
The starry sky above our heads is so gentle and beautiful, enough to comfort everyone's heart.
How could this happen? I shouldn't have this mentality at such a dangerous time, Shu Jingtong thought to himself.
He looked up and saw that Nicole and the guide who came to help had the same calm and focused expressions as himself, looking carefully at the bloody wounds on their hands.
It seemed that in a short period of time, everyone had adapted to everything and was no longer afraid.
Even the other people around seemed to be immersed in the breeze, the bright moon and the gentle sound of the waves.
Everyone became quiet and calm, and everyone acted in silence.
Reinforce the windows, close the gaps in the sun visors, and rescue the injured companions. Everyone moved quietly, silently and orderly.
No one made any unnecessary noise to attract the attention of any monsters outside.
Everyone seemed to be still in the safe academy of the past, and had not fallen into such a terrifying contaminated area where they could lose their lives at any time.
how so
As a guide, Shu Jingtong, who had sharp mental abilities, suddenly realized something.
He suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan was still kneeling on one knee in the dim light coming from the roof, staring closely at the monster that might appear at any time. A drop of sweat flowed down his fair face.
Under her feet, in places where the sunlight did not reach, it seemed as if countless huge things were surging and spreading.
is her
It turns out that the voice I had been hearing all along was hers.
It was she who tried her best to ease everyone's confusion at the beginning.
It was also her mental power that influenced the monster's movements, causing it to become sluggish at the most critical moment.
That's why she was able to use her clumsy shooting skills to hit the dazed monster time and time again.
The scariest thing was that while shooting and controlling the monster's mind, she even had the energy to calm everyone down.
Shu Jingtong thought about the question he had once asked his teacher.
"How strong is Lin Yuan's mental power?"
At this moment, he suddenly understood the meaning of the teacher at the time.
