Chapter 40: Chrysanthemums are broken, and the ground is full of wounds
Li Qiannan felt that Ye Xiaobai was reasonable, there were too many non-combatants, and among the combatants, except for her and Ye Xiaobai, as well as her other teammates, the other soldiers were ordinary people, when dealing with monsters, their reaction ability could not keep up with and the fragility of their bodies, it was estimated that once they lost their guns or ran out of bullets in the last second, they might be killed by monsters in the next second.
"By the way, what are the characteristics and abilities of the strange snake you are talking about? Is it still nearby? β
Li Qiannan suddenly thought of this question, and looked at Ye Xiaobai quite nervously, after all, it was a third-order monster, once it appeared in their current gathering place, the possibility of the entire army being wiped out was very high.
"It has a dark green body, a body length of more than ten meters, a waist as thick as a bucket, it can fly in the air, it has the ability to hatch humans into monsters, its body can differentiate into eight sharp tentacles, and it can shoot crystals, and it was finally killed by me."
Ye Xiaobai was brought up by her memory of the strange snake, and then thought of the disgusting woman in the body of the strange snake, and he felt his stomach churning a little.
"Huh?! A snake that can fly in the air, and it's so big! No, I've got to get the news back quickly. β
Li Qiannan, who was walking, suddenly stopped, suddenly thought of a possibility, and looked at Ye Xiaobai with wide eyes,
"You're a B-class ability?!"
Li Qiannan suddenly felt that she had picked up a treasure, and the people she met casually on the road were so strong, and her luck was too good, right?!
"No, I killed it by luck."
Ye Xiaobai didn't mention to her the weird woman in the snake's body, he was afraid that he would have a psychological shadow on women in the future, he was still a virgin, he couldn't be bent by it, grandma was a bear, that perverted woman was too disgusting.
Li Qinan stared at Ye Xiaobai's eyes and found that he seemed to be telling the truth, thought thoughtfully, didn't speak again, and took Ye Xiaobai to find Qiu Yan who was in a daze in a single tent.
"Mom, I'm back!"
As soon as he saw Qiu Yan, Ye Xiaobai's nose was a little sour, and when he saw her, he remembered his dead father, such dialogues usually appear in a warm home, and now ...... Holding back his sad emotions, he looked at Qiu Yan who turned around to look at him, he could only say hello to her like this, let his emotions calm down first, and never let her see the clues.
"It's good to come back, it's good to come back......"
As soon as Qiu Yan saw Ye Xiaobai, tears couldn't stop flowing, she immediately stood up and hugged Ye Xiaobai hard, and patted his head vigorously:
"Your dad has lost his voice, if even you can't find it, in such a world, how can you let your mother have the courage to continue living?!"
Li Qinan next to her motioned to Ye Xiaobai with her eyes to quickly find a way to comfort her, Ye Xiaobai hurriedly said that she would not lose contact for no reason in the future, and she would definitely protect herself, Qiu Yan's face was a little better,
"Little white...... Any news from your dad? β
Qiu Yan hesitated for a moment before asking with a trembling voice.
"I found some traces of him in the nearby forest, but they should have gone out of the area, because it was too far away, and I was worried about you, so I came back. Don't worry, Daddy should still be alive. β
Ye Xiaobai's words were full of anger, and if he couldn't lie, he could only use this method to cover up his white lie.
"Really?!"
Qiu Yan was a little excited when she heard this.
"Uh-huh."
"That's good."
After chatting with Ye Xiaobai for a short time, Qiu Yan fell asleep due to exhaustion.
Li Qinan and Ye Xiaobai walked out of the tent, she opened her mouth to say something, but stopped again.
"Thank you for arranging a separate tent for my mom."
Ye Xiaobai smiled and said, this base is not big, and there are so many people in distress, it is generally a few people crowded into a tent, and a one-person tent is generally treated only by a chief.
"It's nothing, if you return to the military branch in Sichuan with me, every C-level ability person can get a room of 100 square meters with two bedrooms, one living room, one kitchen and one bathroom, and three meals a day are provided normally, this is a special treatment for the top level of human combat power."
Li Qinan knew that Ye Xiaobai cared about his mother very much, so she focused on this treatment, but in fact, there were other benefits she didn't say.
Ye Xiaobai's expression perked up when he heard this treatment, he also knew how luxurious it was to have a safe and comfortable residence and normal three meals in the current situation, but he also knew that these things needed to be exchanged at an equal price.
"So what do I need to do?"
Li Qiannan hesitated,
"If you are in the army, you need to unconditionally obey the tasks assigned by the army and be responsible for dealing with high-level monsters."
Ye Xiaobai heard the news and smiled bitterly, this is simply fighting for his life, the strange snake he encountered last time almost made him burp, if according to Li Qiannan, it is a third-order monster, and alien creatures can create third-order monsters in such a short time, then there must be fourth-order, fifth-order, sixth-order or higher-order monsters in the future, and the recent encounter has made him discover a rule, that is, the body shape of monsters is often taller than human warriors with the same combat power, and the defense is strong. A one-on-one battle is still a hard fight, and if it is a one-on-two, the consequences may not be so good.
In short, it's a life-or-death choice.
However, he knew that he had to choose this way, because with his current strength, there was no way to guarantee his mother's safety 100%, and it was estimated that as long as a strange snake came, he would take care of one or the other.
"Didn't I tell you before? As long as you can guarantee my mother's safety before I come back, I will join your squad, but I only promised to join your squad, and if you want me to join the army, then I have one condition. β
Li Qinan immediately understood what Ye Xiaobai meant, before he promised to join her team, he just promised to be her bodyguard, and if she wanted him to really join the disciplined army with a mountain of military orders, then she had to promise him one condition.
"And what are your conditions?"
Li Qiannan's bright eyes stared directly at Ye Xiaobai, making him a little cramped.
"100% of my mother's safety, and her three meals a day can't be too bad."
Li Qinan suddenly laughed,
"Your condition is too simple, isn't it?! I can promise you right now! β
In fact, Li Qiannan prefers the former, letting Ye Xiaobai be her bodyguard, so that he doesn't have to accept tasks that he doesn't want to accept, and for himself, he will have a strong backhand in the future. Perhaps, you can also get rid of that annoying fiancΓ©.
"Actually...... You can just join my squad, joining the army is too constraining for you. My dad is a general, if my aunt wants to, I will let my aunt live with my mom, so can you accept it? β
Ye Xiaobai thought about it and felt that this was a way to get the best of both worlds, not only to fulfill his own conditions, but also to work with the goddess.
"Okay, then I'll be a member of your squad from now on, haha!"
After solving a matter of concern, Ye Xiaobai's mood was much lighter.
