The Heartthrob Guide: Dodder of S-Class Sentinels

Chapter 205 Backstab
The malevolent gaze fell upon the family once more, this time targeting the child!

"Don't hurt my child!!"

The young woman, having just lost her husband and now facing the imminent loss of her child, suffered a complete mental breakdown. She pointed frantically in Lin Nan's direction, screaming hoarsely, "It's her! It's her! She's the guide! I just saw her!!!"

A moment of deathly silence fell over the carriage.

Everyone stared at the woman in disbelief.

In this era, almost everyone, from nobles to commoners, should deeply realize that a guide is a more precious treasure than any person or thing.

Human life is protected by the sentinels, and the life of the sentinels is in the hands of the guides.

Although the guides are physically weak, their spiritual power navigates the direction of all life returning home.

Even the most burly and ruthless man knows that all the ordinary people in this car are less important than a guide's finger.

But this woman—who had only lost one man—so easily betrayed Director Xiang.

Besides, it was the guide who saved their lives first.

"It's her, it's her! It's definitely her! Don't kill my child!! Waaaaaah!!"

The mother was sobbing uncontrollably. She probably knew her actions were shameful, but in this life-or-death situation, she couldn't care less about anything else.

Yes, she's going to die anyway, so what does it matter to her what happens in the future? She's just an ordinary woman who only wants her family to live well.

So what if she was wrong?

The survival of this world is such a huge matter, what could she possibly do...?

【I see……】

Poor child, you've been betrayed...hehehehe—

Guided by the woman, the gaze of that eye finally locked onto Lin Nan.

Lin Nan felt a wave of pressure wash over her, and her disguise was completely shattered.

The girl's fair skin and beautiful face were completely exposed in the gray dust, like a pure pearl, yet she seemed out of place in this malicious atmosphere.

The eerie eye instantly turned to her, its compound eye glowing crimson, as if it had spotted a delicious prey.

At that very moment, all the sentries on the side mobilized. Several spirit entities increased in size more than tenfold, concentrated all their power, and roared as they pounced on the alien on the roof of the car. Even the husky spirit entity, which was exhausted, ran out to protect Lin Nan.

Lin Nan felt herself being lifted up by a strong force. The sentry captain carried her and retreated to other carriages, but now the entire vehicle was in the contaminated area of ​​this alien species, and it would be futile for them to escape anywhere.

Countless polluted robes flew towards them from the sky like snowflakes, trying to grab Lin Nan, but just as they were about to touch her skin, they were blocked by the bodies of one civilian after another.

Strangely enough, the humans who had just been falling apart became unusually united at this moment. One by one, they formed a human wall for Lin Nan and the sentinel, trying to escort her away.

"You don't need to protect me, put me down!"

Lin Nan called out, but the sentry was as fast as lightning, making Lin Nan dizzy.

“No, I have to get you out of here.” The sentries said, and they left the VIP box, dodging the attacks of those contaminated robes, only to be surrounded by more infected and mutated humans in the next second.

"Kid, Miss Guide is yours now!"

With nowhere to retreat, the sentry could only hand Lin Nan over to the little boy who had been following them, and then he drew his sword and charged at the mutated humans again.

Compared to the military forces on the front lines, the police officers on ordinary civilian trains are not equipped with high-ranking sentries, and some are even inferior to the private armies of some nobles.

This Granvis train is the most difficult ordinary civilian train to operate. Apart from some poor sentries who are forced to work, no one would be willing to stand guard on this train.

Cansay has been here for seven years.

He was the most mentally strong and the most senior among the police officers, so he became the captain of this squad.

For seven years, he traveled daily between the most dangerous Zone 9 and Zone 2, traversing desolate "wilderness" areas along the way, encountering countless dangers.

He had witnessed the departure and sacrifice of countless colleagues, and he believed that his fate would be the same as theirs, dying on some trip.

Inside his combat uniform was a prepared will, but unfortunately, he was an orphan and no one knew where his letter would be sent after his death.

In this vast world, he was an ordinary existence. Once evolved into a Sentinel, without a guide to manage it, the average lifespan of everyone would not exceed thirty years. Kansai kept convincing himself and accepting his fate: either die in a mission or be wiped out by the country when the pollution level explodes.

Guide...

For people like them, it was something so distant, but today—

Kancel tightened his grip on the knife. He appeared calm, but only he knew how turbulent his mind was!
His death is no loss, but at least he wanted her to live...

Only this thought remained in his mind, and it was this thought that sustained him as he continued to move forward despite the heavy burden.

However—there were just too many mutants. For the first time, Kansai hated his own weakness so much. Their team's mental strength was not even at the A level. Sentinels without mental barriers were not even an appetizer in front of mutants, let alone a mutant that was skilled in mental manipulation.

He quickly succumbed to the overwhelming mental pressure surrounding him. One by one, the other team members fell, their piercing screams echoing through the carriage.

Lin Nan was also affected by this kind of mental pollution, and at this moment she felt extremely pessimistic and depressed.

It felt like a stone was blocking her chest, and the suffocating sensation made her feel like she was going crazy.

Look at you, you clearly wanted to protect these people.

But they betrayed me...

Humans are all filthy, don't play with them anymore, come over here...

That childish voice had completely locked her in; no matter where she ran, she couldn't escape that voice from her mind.

She huddled in the corner, her fingernails digging deep into her palms, oblivious to the blood seeping out.

The surrounding environment began to distort, and she saw everyone with a sinister smile, pointing and whispering at her.

Her world turned gloomy.
