Chapter 262 : Always so vast
Chapter 262 - Always so vast
Although they encountered a small problem at the beginning of the mission, everything went smoothly. After all, this task was like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut, not particularly dangerous.
If one had to make an analogy, it was more like a caretaker looking after a group of children.
When Ye Sheng suddenly pictured this in her mind, she couldn't help but chuckle. But then, thinking of Gu Luoyu's recent odd behavior, the upward curve of her lips quickly fell.
It wasn't any particularly noticeable change. Rather, it was that since arriving in the wasteland, Gu Luoyu hadn't gone hunting for polluted creatures as she usually did...
After all, every time they took a mission into the wasteland, Gu Luoyu would act like a wild horse freed from its reins, eager to gallop for three days and three nights straight to burn off excess energy.
So, this time, staying obediently by her side without even using her psychic power... these signs quickly caught Ye Sheng's attention, prompting her to begin secretly observing.
She wanted to reveal the truth herself.
However, her investigation had barely begun when Gu Luoyu saw through it... Faced with the reality of being caught red-handed, Ye Sheng could only voice her questions. As she spoke, her demeanor quickly grew bolder.
Gu Luoyu smiled helplessly, a hint of curiosity in her voice as she asked, “Why didn't you just ask me directly?”
“You wouldn't tell me the truth anyway, so I had to investigate myself!”
“I see. Then, Miss Ye Sheng, please do your best and strive to uncover the truth soon~”
“...?”
Ye Sheng suspected Gu Luoyu was being sarcastic, so she immediately lunged forward like a starving tiger, swiftly tackling Gu Luoyu onto the ground. The sudden movement caused the open-top four-wheeled vehicle to shake violently, but it didn't affect Ye Sheng in the slightest as she clung to Gu Luoyu like an octopus.
Gu Luoyu let Ye Sheng have her way, though her hands firmly supported Ye Sheng's legs to prevent any collisions. But as her fingers sank into the soft, plump thigh, desire surged alongside it.
Instinctively, Gu Luoyu squeezed slightly, then relaxed her grip, beginning to gently massage in small motions.
Her crimson eyes shimmered with a teasing glint. When she looked at Ye Sheng again, her gaze was clearly flirtatious... Unfortunately, Ye Sheng, single-mindedly pursuing the truth, failed to notice the shift, continuing to cling to Gu Luoyu like a spoiled child.
She cupped Gu Luoyu's face in her hands, rubbing her cheek affectionately against it. “Ah Yu, good Ah Yu, just tell me quickly! I'm really too curious! What made you stop hunting those polluted creatures?”
Hearing Ye Sheng's coquettish confession, Gu Luoyu raised an eyebrow. Even though her inner frustration was rising, what could she possibly do with this silly little fool?
All it took were a few sweet words, and she'd surrender immediately.
“There's actually no special reason. This mission is special. The families behind the people we're protecting aren't weak, they can naturally send other espers for covert protection. I don't want to reveal too much of my strength in front of them. After all, I might soon be officially recruited by the base to cooperate with Black Spring on ocean resource extraction. The base is already watching me.”
Gu Luoyu spoke seriously, but in truth, her psychic energy was simply unstable right now.
Other espers were insignificant in her eyes.
But to conceal the fact that she had undergone the Divine Trial at the amusement park, she had to come up with a reasonable excuse to get by... Luckily, Ye Sheng was easy to appease, and since Gu Luoyu's explanation sounded logical, Ye Sheng quickly accepted it.
Yet sometimes, her “good” luck was just too much!
At this moment, the group hadn't yet reached the deeper wastelands, but they were suddenly confronted by a troop of monkeys, each as large and bulky as tanks, their red eyes filled with ferocity, their hairy faces twisted into menacing expressions, clearly hostile.
“My god, these are all Class-A polluted creatures! What do we do? We're doomed.”
“Why did we have to run into these polluted creatures!”
“Don't panic! There's an Esper in our group. We'll be fine.”
“One Esper won't make much difference against so many Class-A polluted creatures! Even a specialized psychic squad from the base couldn't easily handle this. We're screwed! I should've listened to my sister and not come on this trip...”
Aside from a few important individuals needing protection, the rest of the group were mere numbers.
Their mental fortitude was naturally poor. Now that danger had struck, they immediately panicked, and despite the team leader repeatedly demanding silence, they continued shouting and clamoring in chaos.
As for escape?
In front of a group of Class-A polluted creatures, where could ordinary people possibly run?
Just as despair filled everyone's hearts and the red-eyed monkeys rapidly approached, baring their fangs, Gu Luoyu, whom no one had expected anything from, sat calmly in the driver's seat, showing no intention of dealing with the monkey horde.
Beside her, Ye Sheng tilted her head in confusion, but before she could ask, the situation took a shocking turn.
Several espers suddenly appeared out of nowhere, directly blocking the front of the group. After drawing their esper-exclusive weapons, their sharp blades cut down the monkeys charging forward in an instant.
The monkeys were hacked into pieces, blood gushing from their wounds.
Immediately, the stench of blood spread through the air, reaching Ye Sheng and turning her face pale. A sudden urge to vomit surged within her... Although she had seen countless polluted creature corpses before, she'd never felt this way, leading Ye Sheng to suspect it was her little one inside protesting.
Fortunately, Gu Luoyu noticed immediately, pulling Ye Sheng tightly into her arms.
With her psychic energy unstable, even her usual psychic barrier that blocked out smells and sounds became difficult to control. Gu Luoyu frowned slightly, but her hand on Ye Sheng's back continued to stroke gently, again and again.
Buried in Gu Luoyu's embrace, Ye Sheng had already forgotten her earlier discomfort. Her face quickly reddened, comfortably nestled against the full, bountiful chest, barely resisting the urge to let her mischievous flush hands wander.
Hehe~
Ah Yu's bosom is always so vast.
Love it!!!
On Ye Sheng's side, she was already as dazed as a cat overdosed on catnip, a state quickly noticed by Gu Luoyu, leaving her unsure of what to even say.
This little pervert...
Still, Gu Luoyu finally relaxed, no longer worried about Ye Sheng feeling unwell.
But just as she thought the monkey horde would be quickly dealt with, a problem arose. After the espers killed the leading monkeys, they immediately charged into the horde, hoping to capture the king first.
However, in the next second, one of the espers was severely injured and violently thrown back.
Witnessing this, someone in the group quickly aimed their Super-Power Intelligence Network wristband toward the monkey king. A warning alert sounded immediately.
'Attention: Detected polluted creature exceeds S-rank. Please evacuate immediately and find a safe location to take cover!’
