The Heartthrob Guide: Dodder of S-Class Sentinels

Chapter 129: Pollution Spreads
I wonder if the warning worked or what?
Evans really didn't come up again along the way.

All the snake people in the cabin fell asleep quietly.

Lin Nan finally got a chance to catch his breath.

"Snake people are born without the sense of propriety, righteousness, and shame that humans have." Xiu, who was sitting next to him, whispered, "After this mission is over, please do not have any contact with them again."

After saying this, the man turned his head away and never formally met her eyes from beginning to end.

Lin Nan was stunned for a moment, then he started laughing.

"Okay." She agreed.

He was finally willing to talk to her. Lin Nan always felt that this person was a little too shy. His tail was almost shaking like a propeller, but his face was still pretending to be cold and reserved. He was not as frank as his spiritual body.

Thinking of this, Lin Nan couldn't help but touch the little black wolf in her arms. In order to make it easier for her to hold it, the black wolf turned back into the appearance of a puppy.

At this moment, it was furry and round, like a black sesame ball, lying in Lin Nan's arms, refusing to come out no matter what. Its soft fur rubbed against Lin Nan's palm, bringing a tingling sensation.

Just now, Master Xiu and Evans were fighting so fiercely, but this little guy was as steady as a rock and didn't move at all.

"So good." Lin Nan praised it.

"Awoo~" The little black wolf whimpered twice and rubbed Lin Nan's palm again with extreme attachment.

Xiu, who was sitting beside him: ...

The airship heading to Area 5 was sailing smoothly.

It takes five hours to drive from the center to the Mining Abyss City. Two-thirds of the time has passed, and they will be there in another hour.

Lin Nan looked at the sky outside quietly. After approaching the polluted area, even the sky outside began to become gray. They seemed to have driven into a huge black smog. Everywhere they looked was chaos and depression.

Suddenly, something dripped onto the glass window of the airship.

Is it raining?

Lin Nan noticed it and said in confusion.

But as the drop of liquid slowly flowed down and the color gradually turned blood red, her breathing suddenly stopped.

wrong!

This is not rain!

Then, as if to confirm her suspicions, a continuous stream of liquid began to drip onto the window. Like the rhythmic beats of drums, it clattered against the glass, quickly leaving it covered in splotches. Each drop was a shocking blood-red, appearing particularly hideous and terrifying against the gray sky.

is blood!

How could there be blood in the sky!

Lin Nan was so scared that she moved away from the window. Xiu, who was standing next to her, immediately wrapped his arms around her and protected her in the inner seat.

"Oh no," the man whispered, his brows furrowed tightly. Having lived in the contaminated area since childhood, he naturally knew what was going on. "Area 5 has spread here."

"What?" Before Lin Nan could finish his words, Xiu had already taken out the emergency landing bag from under the seat and put it on Lin Nan.

"This airship is about to be destroyed. Please hold on to me later."

After Xiu finished speaking, he pressed the emergency button in the cabin, and the shrill alarm sounded throughout the airship.

The snake-man sentinels who were resting in their seats also woke up one by one. They also smelled the strange smell and became alert.

Except for their small group of people, no one in other cabins of the entire airship reacted.

There was a faint bad smell in the air.

Xiu hid Lin Nan behind him and stared coldly at the movements in the front cockpit and the trunk.

Along with the alarm, a sparse sound of footsteps came slowly from those places. The footsteps were dragging and heavy, as if every step was stepping on people's hearts, making their heartbeats speed up involuntarily.

Then, a figure appeared at the end of the passage.

It was a twisted figure, its skin a strange bluish-purple, its face covered in black spots, its eyes blank and dull. Its limbs twisted unnaturally, as if manipulated by some force. He walked towards them, step by step, emitting an inarticulate roar.

As he approached, Lin Nan recognized him as the escort.

"It's hopeless, it's been contaminated." Xiu said, then transformed his arms into wolf claws again and made an attacking gesture.

"So fast?!"

Lin Nan was shocked. She hadn't noticed at all just now. When did they enter the contaminated area?
"The King Beast in Area 5 possesses powerful medium conduction abilities, which is why there's a constant supply of ore wherever it's present. But now that it's awakened, it can spread the contaminated area to its maximum extent in a very short time," Xiu explained as he donned his emergency landing kit. "This King Beast can't be left here. We must eliminate it as soon as possible, otherwise..."

He looked at the increasing number of alienated sentries in front of him, his eyes becoming increasingly cold. He seemed to see Da Xiong and the others again...

These people were their companions just a few minutes ago, but now they have become alien species and irrational monsters.

Human life is indeed very fragile.

"Alien?" Evans also woke up from his sleep. He sniffed the scent in the air, and then his original human legs disappeared, replaced by a thick snake body. The silver-white scales gleamed with a cold luster under the dim light.

"If they are aliens, they must be killed!" Without any hesitation, he let out a low roar, and his thick snake body was like a hard steel whip, swinging towards the alienated sentries without any mercy.

The snake left a white afterimage in the air, and with a whistling sound, it lashed towards the nearest escort. The sentry did not react and was hit by the sudden attack. His body flew out like a kite with a broken string, hit the bulkhead heavily, and broke into two pieces.

Snake people have no emotions. Once they identify something, they will execute it without hesitation. Evans' eyes were cold, and his snake tongue moved rapidly, constantly searching for the next target.

All he could see were these creatures classified as 'aliens' and the order to destroy them.

He swung his snake tail again, sweeping towards another group of alienated sentinels. Those alienated sentinels seemed to sense the danger and wanted to dodge, but because they were slow in action, many of them were hit in the legs and fell to the ground with a "thump thump". They struggled to get up, but were hit in the vitals by other snakemen who joined the battle, and their bodies broke into several pieces!

In an instant, the entire cabin was filled with broken body parts and a strong smell of blood.

Lin Nan covered his mouth and nose, resisting the urge to vomit.

Her body trembled slightly, and her eyes swept over the corpses of the eliminated alienated sentinels. At this moment, her mood was extremely complicated.
