Chapter 124 He longs for strength

When Shen Yan walked out of the mercenary hall, it was raining outside and the road was already soaked.

He didn't bring an umbrella when he came, so he walked directly into the rain.

The rain came down in pitter-patter, bringing with it a hint of coolness, and instantly drenched his whole body.

The dark broken hair was wet and fell into strands on his forehead, and the rain blurred his vision almost instantly.

In the hazy field of vision, a person seemed to suddenly appear. She was wearing a bright and gorgeous princess dress. The layers of the skirt were dragged on the ground, but there was no water stain on it.

Her expression was distant and indifferent. She glanced at him from above, then withdrew her gaze and walked towards the end of the rain curtain.

"elder sister?"

Shen Yan murmured.

Just when I was about to catch up, the figure had disappeared at the end of the rain curtain.

He stood there in a daze, his long and thin eyelashes slightly drooping, but he still couldn't hide the loneliness in his eyes.

When she left Kyoto, she took almost everyone with her, but she left him alone.

Before leaving, she said to him with crooked eyes:

'Child, you drowned and injured your heart and lungs. It's not completely healed yet. Can you just stay in Kyoto?'

He really wanted to say that his body was completely healed and he could go to Jiangdu with her.

But then I thought about it, what could he do if he went to Jiangdu with her? The Jiangdu base was being invaded by mutated sea beasts, and her support was urgently needed. Him going as an ordinary person would just add an extra burden to her.

Therefore, although he was extremely reluctant to give up, he still said yes gently.

Although he has long understood how important it is to have strength in this crisis-ridden apocalypse.

But this was the first time that he was so eager to have strength, even if it was the strength that could only protect himself.

Because he really didn't want to be left behind by her again as a burden.

Choosing to join the mercenary group was a decision he made after careful consideration.

Because joining a mercenary group does not require any special abilities, and you will also be issued firearms.

The most important thing is that only by being a mercenary who licks blood at the edge of the knife can you get better training and gradually adapt to the cruel way of survival in the end of the world.

But he really didn't expect that he, who had never touched a gun, would have an extremely high talent for firearms.

The amazing, close to 100% hit rate allowed him to join the Thunderstorm Mercenary Group very smoothly.

A few days ago, when team leader Raymond went on a mission, they encountered a third-level mutant python.

As a third-level lightning power user, Raymond had nothing to do with the giant python's armor-like scales. At the critical moment, he found the opportunity in the dark and used a sniper rifle to directly penetrate the snake's belly and hit the giant snake. The seven inches of the python.

He gave the giant python's third-order crystal core to Raymond and successfully gained Raymond's trust.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and Shen Yan slowly walked up to the apartment where the Thunderstorm Mercenary Group was located.

Just as he walked to the door, a tall man with a strong build and strong features came out.

"Captain."

Shen Yan said hello slowly.

Raymond walked up to him, looked him over, frowned slightly and said:

"Where did you go, kid? Your whole body is soaked. Go in and take a hot bath. Be careful of catching a cold."

"Captain, I just took over a mission and need to leave immediately. Are there any spare vehicles in our regiment?"

"What?" Raymond's face darkened, "Didn't you just come back from a mission yesterday? Why did you go to take the mission again today? Do you want your life?"

"Are you short of points? How many points are you short of? Just tell me the number and I will transfer it to you directly."

Shen Yan looked up at him with a serious expression:

"Captain, I don't lack points, what I need is training."

Raymond looked at him with deep eyes and advised earnestly:

"Boy, don't rush for success in anything. We slept and ate in the open during the mission. We didn't eat well or sleep well. The string in our heart was always tense. It's not easy to come back now. If we don't repair it for a few days, How can you do this? Besides, how can your body handle being in such a hurry to complete a task?"

"Captain, there is nothing wrong with my health and I don't need to rest."

"You're a thin-skinned person, but you're not made of iron. You're not as strong as I am, so why don't you need a rest?"

"Captain, I have made my decision."

"You're such a stubborn kid, why don't you listen to me?"

Raymond sighed softly, "That's all. If you have to do a mission today, add me."

"Captain, no need. I'm taking on a D-level mission. I can complete it by myself."

"You kid, you've only been on one mission, why are you trying to be so strong?"

"Captain, you were attacked by a giant python and suffered several broken ribs. You'd better stay and recuperate."

"Then I'll let Zhang Lei go with you. Zhang Lei is a second-level wind attribute mutant. He can at least take you to escape at critical moments."

"Captain, I..."

Raymond glared at him, "If you refuse me again, don't go."

---

When the military jeep drove out of the Kyoto base, the atmosphere in the car was a little tense.

Zhang Lei sat in the driver's seat and drove the car expressionlessly, with a faint hint of unhappiness on his handsome face.

Shen Yan held a sniper rifle and sat silently in the passenger seat without saying a word.

After a long time, Zhang Lei finally couldn't bear the suffocating atmosphere and said:

"I really don't know what kind of ecstasy you poured into the captain. It's just a one-man mission, and you still have to send me to follow. Why do you want to be a mercenary if you are afraid of death? It's better to go and help the base with construction as soon as possible."

Shen Yan said calmly: "We have just left the base now. If you don't want to go, just get off the car."

"You're here to dig a hole for me!" Zhang Lei said angrily: "You want me to go back and be punished by the regiment leader? Let me tell you, that's a good idea!"

"If you don't want to get out of the car, just be quiet."

Shen Yan leaned back on the chair and closed his eyes slightly.

Zhang Lei snorted softly, "Isn't it just that the gun user is so powerful? He doesn't even have any superpowers, so why bother?"

Seeing that Shen Yan didn't speak, Zhang Lei said again:

"Tell me, what mission did you take? There is a fork in the road ahead. You have to tell us where our destination is, right?"

"I received a D-level mission to collect a tube of blood from the Phoenix-tailed Pigeon. The Phoenix-tailed Pigeon's habitat is roughly at the junction of Yundu and Shudu."

"Yundu?" Zhang Lei frowned, "Haven't you heard of it? The territory of Yundu has been filled with thick gray fog recently, and several mercenary teams that went to Yundu for missions have disappeared."

"What exactly do you want to say?"

"I suspect that some amazing mutated creature may have appeared in Yundu."

After Zhang Lei finished speaking, he continued to talk to himself: "But I haven't heard of Yundu's distress message reaching Kyoto recently. Those mercenaries may have had an accident."

Shen Yan glanced at him and said, "Maybe that mutated creature can directly block communication signals. This situation has not happened before."

Zhang Lei: "!!!"

"No, I really feel a little panicked. Let's not get close to Yundu. If you think about it, where else can there be pigeons?"

Shen Yan's tone was calm: "The wind-tailed pigeons have very high requirements for the growing environment. Except for the junction of Yundu and Shudu, they cannot be found anywhere else."
