Excessive ferocity due to caution

After leaving the medical building, Zhao Yi followed Liu Zi's directions to the place where he could change into his battle suit.

It was a tailor shop located in the testing grounds.

It has a distinctly cyberpunk style.

They were responsible for handling the uniforms for different professions at the counter.

Some medical and laboratory workers must change their clothes every day.

Black Disaster Squads like 1234 should replace their suits promptly if they become damaged.

Otherwise, once they go out on a mission, they could die in an accident at any time.

Zhao Yi had planned his route and glanced inside from a distance.

At the counter stood a very short man.

That's not the person he's looking for.

Zhao Yi left as if nothing had happened.

He peed in the toilet and continued his task until the next shift...

...

As time went by.

The sky outside was dark.

Martha organized her recent work.

This is very important.

She had to make sure she didn't miss anything at work, nor did she do even the slightest bit more.

Among her colleagues, she aimed to keep her level in the middle.

Only in this way can one ensure that they are not discovered as much as possible.

She worked in a tailor shop, concealing the true identities of many who went to their deaths.

If something happens to her, the other people who are going to their deaths will soon suffer the same fate!

After completing her recent work reports, Martha put on her specially made clothes, took her work certificate, and went to the tailor shop.

At night, the number of people at the testing ground becomes relatively small.

Many people will be changing shifts and going out on patrol.

The tailor shop isn't as busy anymore.

The dwarf man who switched shifts with her gave her a general overview of the work that wasn't quite finished yet.

Martha listened attentively.

The back of my neck started itching again.

She couldn't help but reach up and scratch the back of her neck.

After giving his instructions, the dwarf left with his belongings.

Martha then began to deal with the things at hand.

The lights were a stark white.

She glanced outside the door.

unmanned.

With slightly trembling hands, Martha pulled a harmonica from a corner of the counter.

There is a list inside.

It was the list left to him by the last person who had worked here before his death.

On this list, red indicates those who have sacrificed their lives, while black names represent comrades who need help resetting their combat suit data.

She quickly turned the screw at the back.

However, just after she unscrewed a single screw, several super soldiers reeking of alcohol entered through the door.

Martha shuddered.

It's too late to put it back now.

She could only place the harmonica in an inconspicuous corner of the table.

After the soldiers came in, they handed their tattered battle uniforms to Martha, their eyes scanning Martha's high breasts and round buttocks with lewd intent.

"Change into a new battle suit."

Martha took their tattered battle suits, attached labels to them, and set them aside.

"Come pick it up in an hour."

She said it calmly.

My heart was pounding wildly.

His gaze kept drifting towards the old harmonica on the table.

If someone discovers the secret inside...

Then they'll be in big trouble!

Martha's abdominal muscles were taut, and sweat beaded on her nose.

Inside the mask, she could clearly hear her breathing become rapid.

Hurry up...

Hurry up...

Martha silently prayed that the soldiers would leave quickly!

The three chatted and laughed as they turned to leave.

But things didn't go as planned.

What you fear will come to pass.

The soldier near the counter quickly noticed the harmonica on the table.

He made a sound of surprise.

He reached out and picked up the harmonica.

What's always on my mind is Martha's heart, which is practically leaping out of her throat!

"How interesting... I haven't touched a musical instrument for many years since I left Pulse City..."

The soldier's eyes were unfocused.

"Back in the day, I was one of the few artists in Pulse City who could play musical instruments..."

Although no one else wanted to listen, he insisted on delivering his eight-hundred-word speech.

Then I started playing the harmonica.

"Waaah..."

The others covered their ears.

"What the hell are you bragging about?"

"With this level of skill, you call yourself an artist?"

"Even a dog can blow a better tune than you!"

The great artist, insulted by his own companion, was instantly enraged and sneered:

"There's something inside this harmonica, otherwise it wouldn't make this sound!"

"What kind of looks are you giving me? You don't believe me?"

"If you don't believe me, I'll open it up and show you!"

After he finished speaking, he was about to start tightening the screws at the back.

When Martha saw it, she was instantly terrified!

What if he were to take the harmonica apart?

"etc!"

Martha suddenly screamed, startling all three of them.

"What's wrong?"

One of the soldiers sensed the panic in Martha's voice and immediately became alert.

Seeing the three men's sharp eyes, Martha knew she was in trouble, and braced herself for saying:

"This harmonica was left behind by someone else who wanted it refurbished. Isn't it inappropriate for you to touch other people's things like this?"

The soldier sneered:

"It's just a harmonica, what can I do if I touch it?"

"I risk my life every day out there, just to protect you cowards who cower in the testing grounds!"

"In the end, even looking at a harmonica gets you criticized?"

He became increasingly agitated as he spoke, his face filled with anger and a sickness!

Martha was ice-cold all over.

She watched the soldier tighten the screws on the back of the harmonica, her mind completely blank...

It’s over.

That's it, everything's over.

Click—

Just as Martha was anxiously awaiting her death, footsteps sounded at the door again.

"Get out of here!"

The cold voice instantly sobered the three slightly drunk soldiers.

They turned around, and the super soldier holding the harmonica had a violent expression on his face:

"What kind of bastard dares to tell me to get lost..."

Before he could finish speaking, his gaze fell on the military rank on Zhao Yizhan's uniform, and he immediately felt a lump in his throat, unable to utter a word.

After 1234's privileges were upgraded, Zhao Yi has now become the squad leader of Team A of the Black Disaster Squad.

Among all the soldiers in the test site, the Black Disaster Squad belongs to the higher-level category.

They are a team that specializes in carrying out particularly dangerous missions.

Zhao Yi is the squad leader of the Black Disaster Squad.

If they dare to directly confront someone with such authority, all Zhao Yi needs to do afterward is say a few words to his superiors, and they will be completely wiped out from this world...

This is not the most terrible.

The scariest thing is...

They will likely appear in the testing grounds under a completely new 'identity'!

The three soldiers shuddered at the thought of those incredibly tragic experimental subjects.

Zhao Yi tilted his head slightly, staring at the person holding the harmonica in front of him, and calmly said:

"What did you just say?"

Say it again.

The soldier with the harmonica was terrified, trembling uncontrollably, and immediately knelt on the ground.

"I...I was drunk and acted rudely just now. I was blind and didn't recognize your greatness. Please, sir, give me a chance to make amends!"

Zhao Yi reached out and slowly took the harmonica from his hand, her tone enigmatic:

"The harmonica is nice."

"Is your daily work too easy, that you actually have the leisure to play the harmonica?"

The soldier hurriedly said:

"No, it's not my harmonica!"

"It's on the counter!"

"They all saw it!"

The other two soldiers echoed:

"It's definitely not his harmonica."

Zhao Yi glanced at the trembling Martha.

"roll."

Upon hearing this, the three soldiers felt as if they had been granted a pardon. Overwhelmed with gratitude, they thanked Zhao Yidao profusely and scrambled away from the tailor shop!

After they left, Zhao Yi went to the counter and returned the harmonica to Masha.

"Keep it safe."

"If you make the same mistake again, no one will save you."

Martha took the harmonica, looked at Zhao Yi with disbelief, and murmured something.

Zhao Yi took off his battle armor, handed it to her, and whispered:

"Liu Zi sent me."

"Please change the character information in there before midnight tonight."

Martha was startled at first, then exhaled.

As expected... they're one of our own.

She glanced at the doorway and said:

"Come back in ten minutes to pick it up."

Zhao nodded:

Thank you.

Martha looked at Zhao Yi's handsome yet somewhat eerie and sinister face, and her heart started racing.

"Such a young and handsome guy..."

"I never imagined I'd join the ranks of those bravely facing death..."

"He saved your life, Martha, you must remember that..."

She quickly removed the note from the harmonica, carefully put the harmonica back in its place, and then got busy.

PS: First update. I'll take a shower and then write the second update.

Today was truly a day of intense heat.
