Section 12 Minor Accidents
In fact, it is not to blame that the two guards are timid, and there are no professional combatants in the brigade. They're just temporary cameos. This is generally the case with brigades, which do not spend a lot of money to hire professional fighters. Only find some people when needed. Although it can't cope with big scenes, it's usually enough. So as an 'amateur cameo', these two guards are brave enough. It's just that this kind of bravery is limited, and by the time they got close to the mutant beast, both of them were so frightened that they couldn't even hold on to their weapons.
The blood pupil still didn't say anything, standing silently next to Sarah. He carried a large bag of herbs behind him, and a medicine hoe in his left hand. Sarah stared nervously ahead. Compared to the two 'armed farmers', her courage is good.
As the two of them watched, the two guards trembled a little closer to the mutant beast. When they were more than twenty meters away from the other party, they finally aroused the vigilance of the mutant beast. The mutant beast lifted its head with a snort, and opened its mouth full of fangs.
The blood pupil could see clearly, it was a gray beast, which belonged to the lowest breed of mutant beasts. It looks like a rat that has been magnified more than ten times, with venomous claws and a very low danger level.
"Ahh It's coming, it's coming!! Help me! The two guards let out a piercing scream. He threw down his spear and fled to the side without looking back. Looking at their hasty backs, the little girl Sarah was very angry.
"Come back, you two. Come back!! Are you going to throw me here?? ”
"No need to scream," Blood Pupil was silent for a moment, and finally spoke. The voice is dull and sluggish. "Their courage has been lost, and it's useless for you to call them."
"I'm not blaming them for throwing me and running away, I'm afraid they're going to die. It's not a camp over there, they'll be killed by other mutant beasts. Yes...... You spoke, you actually ...... Can talk? The little girl Sarah explained first, and then covered her mouth in surprise as if she had suddenly discovered a new world.
"I didn't say I was dumb." After saying two sentences, Blood Pupil's words began to become fluent. But the voice was still low.
"Yes...... But ......" the little girl Sarah didn't seem to be able to recover from her surprise. However, one hand had already grabbed the corner of the blood pupil's clothes.
Now the blood pupil is indeed the only hope for little Sarah. Although I don't know what the ability of the blood pupil is, from the previous treatment process, Xiao Sarah knows that the blood pupil is a warrior.
Unlike the 'armed farmer' in the brigade. The Blood Pupil is a warrior, and ...... It's professional.
That's enough for Sarah.
As if noticing her nervousness, the blood pupil spoke lightly. "Don't worry, it's a gray beast. There is not much of a threat. We just don't get close to it. ”
"Mutants won't be a threat either?" Little Sarah blinked. "Are you kidding?"
"Of course, this is normal. Not all mutants have to eat meat. For the Grey Beast, the water here is probably its main target. Blood Pupil explained in a low voice. At the same time there is something strange. "As a pharmacist, don't you know all this?"
"I never pick my own medicine. All are protected by brigades. Little Sarah replied confidently.
Shaking his head, the blood pupil fell silent. Then he took the little girl's hand and walked towards the Grey Beast. He moves carefully, as gently as possible. But his expression was very calm. This stabilized Sarah's mood a lot. Although she was a little nervous, she still followed the blood pupil step by step. Acting cautiously. The two soon approached the Grey Beast. It's just that unlike the guards in front, the route chosen by the blood pupil is an arc, and it happens to make a half-circle around the gray beast.
The gray beast fell to the ground, a whimpering threat coming out of its mouth. But as the blood pupil said, it didn't really pounce.
"I can't see that you still know a lot about mutant beasts."
"That's the survival instinct." The blood pupil replied lightly. Then make a silent gesture.
Sarah nodded and stopped talking. His expression began to ease. Now even the layman can see it. The Grey Beast is not as dangerous as everyone legends. As long as it is kept at a proper distance, it will not actively attack. The first two guards violated its cordon, purely frightened by themselves.
The blood pupil's movements were very gentle, like a black panther hunting for food. As he gets into the groove, Sarah suddenly finds that his presence is gone. Even if you hold the other person's hand tightly, you can't seem to feel his presence.
"Woo woo...... the mutant beast gave a strange look in his eyes. The voice also softened a lot. But he still stared at the two of them vigilantly. Until the two of them slowly bypassed it. He lowered his head and continued to drink. ,
The crisis was resolved. Little Sarah breathed a sigh of relief. He glanced at the mutant beast not far behind him. Then he smiled at the blood pupil.
"You're more useful than I thought you would."
"............" Blood Pupil did not speak. From this moment on, he became the mute who couldn't speak.
But little Sarah doesn't see it that way. From this incident, she discovered the strangeness of the man next to her. Although I don't know how much the other party is hiding from her. But just the calmness and concealment technique that the blood pupil showed just now made her see the value of the blood pupil. The brigade is not to raise useless idlers, but hunters like the Blood Pupil are still very popular. At least in today's Black Sheep Brigade, Sarah can't find a man who is calmer and better at dealing with emergencies than Blood Pupil.
That's the best person to be a guard.
"From now on, you are my exclusive bodyguard. I'll talk to the head of the regiment when I get back. I will fight for your share of resources, and I will ensure that it is not less than others. ”
“…………”
"That's it." Sarah waved her hand domineeringly, as if she had won a great benefit to the blood pupil. "Now, tell me your name. Mr. Dumb, I don't want to call you by a code name in the future. ”
“………… Blood pupils. ”
"Blood Pupil...... What a fierce name. It doesn't look like you at all. Sarah said jokingly.
The two quickly returned to the camp. When I entered the camp, I happened to see an old man with gray hair organizing the team. In front of him stood more than a dozen middle-aged men in tattered clothes, each with a spear in his hand. Seeing Sarah and Blood Pupil coming over, the old man's eyes suddenly lit up. He walked over with a happy face.
"Sarah, you're back. I've heard you're in danger, and I'm about to organize someone to rescue you. ”
"Thank you so much, Captain Vic." Sarah bowed politely. "I didn't expect to trouble everyone. Please forgive me for being willful and walking out of the camp. ”
"It's okay, it's okay." The white-haired old Vic waved his hand repeatedly. "You are the only apothecary in our brigade, so naturally you have to be protected. We didn't protect you and we made a mistake for us. Those two guys have already been punished by me. No provisions will be provided for the next three days. I'm not going to let them have a good time. ”
Little Sarah was stunned, but she didn't expect the two guards to really run back to the camp. But in an instant, he came back to his senses. He smiled gently. "Don't mind, Vic Commander. Don't punish them for my reasons. They are also here to survive. When it comes to confronting mutant beasts, not everyone can stick to their principles. ”
"That's not going to work either! If you don't have rules, you can't obey the public. Old Vic waved his hand solemnly, accentuating his tone.
"My brigade can't let the indiscriminate people join. They cannot enjoy power if they do not fulfill their obligations. This cannot be changed at any time. But you, Sarah, how did you escape? Listen to those two guys, that mutant beast is very fierce? ”
"Oh, I guess that's not true." Sarah replied with a smile. "It's a vicious-looking mutant beast, though. But it's not much of a threat. As long as it's not too exciting, it doesn't want to risk my thin body. Obviously, the blood pupil has this deterrent power. ”
"You mean him?" Old Vic then turned his gaze to the blood pupil. I took a closer look. I couldn't help but shake my head slightly. "He's not big enough, in fact I don't see any intimidation in him. Can make a mutant beast fearful. ”
"Oh, Uncle Vic. That doesn't matter, does it? The important thing is that I came back and that it was in perfect condition. Sarah said with a smile. Of course, she couldn't tell Old Vic what kind of muscles were under the seemingly thin body of the blood pupil. This is all verified by her own hands. A man's strength is not just about his appearance. With the eyes of Sarah Apothecary, she naturally understood that a body shape like the blood pupil was the most perfect. Beneath the seemingly harmless body lies an explosive amount of power.
"Oh, you're right." Hearing Sarah say this, Old Vic naturally didn't ask any further. Turned around and disbanded the guards. Then he frowned at Sarah. Lowered his voice.
"But Sarah, I have to warn you that the brigade is not fully resourced. It's been too much waste to save this guy. I don't want another mouth in the brigade to eat. ”
"But he's useful to me." Sarah didn't budge. "For this, I can scoop a portion of my share of resources."
"Your share is not rich, and you have to take care of little Toby." Old Vic thought about it, but gritted his teeth in pain. "Forget it, I'll just let everyone tighten up a little more. Sarah, this is the last time you've ever been willful. ”
"I know Uncle Vic is the best." Sarah smiled. hugged Old Vic and kissed him. Then he turned around and grabbed Bloody Pupil's hand.
"Let's go, Uncle Vic has already agreed, and from today you will be a member of the Black Sheep Brigade."
"............" Blood Pupil did not speak. Still silently following behind Sarah.
It's like a real dumb person.
