Chapter 17: I Like Your Codename
Su Qiao nibbled on dry bread with mountain spring water, her voice was cold, and she told what she could say.
Chen Muting's mood was equally heavy, his brows were furrowed, and sometimes he couldn't help but clench his fists, feeling angry.
In a nutshell, these experiments are as follows: some large groups and forces collude with law enforcement teams, which symbolize fairness and justice, in order to develop certain new capabilities, weapons, medicines, etc.
Those groups, forces, etc., provide money or other things that the members of the law enforcement team need, and let the members of the law enforcement team do things for them, and secretly kidnap the awakened people of various departments to go to the designated place.
And among these bound awakened people, those awakened people who have weak social relations and will not attract much attention even if they disappear inexplicably, are their primary targets.
Of course, the Awakened in other situations will also be targeted.
And Chen Mu himself was an orphan, no one cared, so he was naturally targeted by No. 4396, and was tied up in the safest but most dangerous place in the Source Energy Secret Realm.
"Are there many members of the law enforcement team doing this?" Chen Mu asked.
"A lot, the law enforcement team has long been eroded, rotten from top to bottom."
Su Qiao nodded heavily, there was undoubted firmness in her voice, she paused, and hesitated:
"Of course, the law enforcement team is fundamentally black, and from the moment they were established, it was determined that they were on the opposite side of the majority."
"I see."
Chen Mu was silent for a moment, then released his clenched fist and looked out the window.
It is already very clear at this point, although the girl still did not say it explicitly, but it is roughly consistent with Chen Mu's guess.
At this time, he also understood the reason for the carjacking organized by the Torch.
They did not carjack to save someone, but simply to resist the law enforcement team and those underworld forces, and fight for justice.
Of course, saving people is also one of the reasons.
There are always some people in this world who are willing to do chivalrous and righteous deeds, and fight for justice, even if they are facing majestic mountains.
Therefore, Chen Mu is lucky.
It was precisely because of the enthusiasm of this group of people in the Torch Organization that he was able to rescue him by mistake and survive.
Otherwise, he is afraid that he is lying on a certain experimental bed now, and his waist may have been sagged......
"Now I feel more and more that joining you is the right choice."
Chen Mu said with heartfelt emotion, he suddenly felt that this matter was like a fate, which was wonderful.
Su Qiao was pleased with Chen Mu's recognition, and a smile squeezed out of the corner of his mouth: "Thank you." ”
"By the way, what am I going to call you? You can't keep talking about you, right? ”
Chen Mu said with a smile, he knew that the girl couldn't reveal her identity easily, so he didn't ask her name directly.
"Hmm...... It's okay to call me Ah Qiao. ”
Su Qiao replied obediently, and then said thoughtfully: "Or you can call me by my code name... Woodpecker. ”
"Woodpecker?"
Chen Mu was stunned at first, then raised his eyebrows, and finally showed a weird smile, and said with a smile:
"I like your codename."
"Oh?" Su Qiao expressed doubt.
Chen Mu grinned and showed a mouthful of big white teeth: "Because I have the word 'Mu' in my name." ”
"Well... That's really fate. ”
Su Qiao smiled elegantly, she also thought that Chen Mu liked her code name because the two had the same name.
Chen Mu naturally understood that Su Qiao didn't understand what he meant, but he didn't explain either, but he still had a weird look on his face and said softly:
"It's fate... You'll understand later. ”
As he spoke, as soon as he flipped his palm, there was an aqua blue gem-like stone the size of a baby's fist in his palm, which was crystal clear and exuded a charming blue light.
Su Qiao was stuffing the last bite of bread into his mouth, and before he could chew it, he saw the thing, his pupils suddenly shrank, and he took a sharp breath, almost choking on the bread.
"Water System Source Crystal?!"
She screamed, but her voice was muffled and cute because it was choked with bread.
Chen Mu smiled and nodded: "Well, I also picked it up on that enforcer before." ”
"I think you're a water awakener, and you can just use it."
He handed Yuan Jing over.
Su Qiao looked at the blue gem that was close at hand, his breathing was obviously much shorter, his eyes were difficult to move, and a trace of longing appeared in the depths of his pupils.
But in the end, she looked away with difficulty, gritted her teeth and refused:
"No, it's too expensive, I can't ask for it!"
It was a source crystal the size of a baby's fist, and it contained a huge amount of water source energy, which might be enough to withstand her months of penance, which was very precious.
Su Qiao felt that she was already very grateful for being saved by Chen Mu, and it would be too unkind to take him another piece of such a valuable source crystal.
However, Chen Mu directly stuffed the source crystal into her hand.
"Now is not the time to be polite."
Chen Mu explained that he was extremely rational at the moment:
"We can't stay here forever and need to go back as soon as possible. But now there may still be people searching for us outside, you must use this source crystal to quickly recover your strength, so that our way back can be a little more secure. ”
"I've just woken up, and I'm a scumbag. Once in danger, there is nothing to egg... Belch... The role still depends on you. ”
In the end, Chen Mu spread his hands: "Besides, it's useless for me to ask for this source crystal." ”
After these words, Su Qiao was silent, she had to admit that what Chen Mu said was very reasonable, and this was indeed the case.
She was not an indecisive person, and after a moment of silence, she gritted her teeth and said firmly:
"Okay, then I'll take it. But that's when I owe you a personal favor, and I'll pay you back later. ”
Chen Mu smiled: "Yes, then let's talk about it later." ”
"Hmm."
Su Qiao felt a little lighter, it was better to owe a love debt than to feel guilty all the time.
If nothing else, Chen Mu should be able to join the Torch Organization in the future, and may even work with her in the same group, she has many opportunities to repay this favor.
With that, Su Qiao sat upright, ready to absorb the source crystal to recover his injuries and improve his strength.
Only then did she notice that she was wearing Chen Mu's wide clothes, and her original clothes had been cut out of shape by Chen Mu.
There were holes everywhere, bare snow-white skin, and even the left butt was cut open to treat that wound......
Su Qiao couldn't help blushing, and subconsciously glanced at Chen Mu.
But she didn't stick to it, and quickly adjusted her state and ran the breathing method to absorb the source crystal.
And this absorption is a whole night.
By the time dawn broke the next day, Su Qiao's aura had changed dramatically.
She successfully broke through from the peak of the second level and became a third-level water system awakener.
Su Qiao was already close to breaking through with one kick, but now with the momentum of this source crystal, he just broke through in one fell swoop.
And her own state was also reborn due to promotion, and the wounds on her body healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and finally almost disappeared.
"It's... Breakthrough? ”
Chen Mu was a little surprised.
In this way, his favor can be magnified even more!
