After becoming top guides, they are obsessed with

Chapter 6 Placement
Knicks and others took back the pheromones that they released unconsciously.

Seeing that they had all controlled themselves, Huo Lin put away his knife, but still protected Yu Xia behind him, not daring to be careless.

"Boom!" Another shell fell nearby. The loud noise made Yu Xia cover her ears reflexively. Little Dolphin did the same thing.

Huo Lin immediately pulled her into his arms and activated his mental barrier to block out the sound of the artillery fire.

There were continuous artillery shells outside, and the ground was shaking. The abandoned sentry was on the verge of collapse under the bombardment of the shells.

Nix: "This is too close to the rear! Those bastards will blow us to pieces. Let's find a safe place to put her first."

There was a burst of artillery fire outside, and they had no time to think. Huo Lin picked up Yu Xia with one hand and ran outside.

Yu Xia was easily picked up by him like a child, and his strong arms held her steadily. The two of them were so close that she could feel his solid chest muscles through his combat uniform. Her face felt a little hot, and she subconsciously struggled.

However, with such little strength she had, Huo Lin didn't feel that she was struggling. He thought she was feeling uncomfortable, so he moved up and slightly adjusted the way he held her.

When Yu Xia saw the flying shells outside, she clung to Huo Lin's shoulders obediently and stopped moving.

As they left the sentry post, there was a loud noise behind them, and the sentry post was reduced to ashes by the fire of the artillery shells.

"These bastards! Do they want to kill us and the aliens together?!"

The sentries cursed and protected Yu Xia as they moved deeper into the contaminated area, away from the range of fire from behind.

It was now midnight, and the surroundings were brightly illuminated by the shells. Yu Xia saw the ruins of the building looming in the hazy smoke.

Although most of them have collapsed and are covered with traces of time, one can still see their former prosperity from the exquisiteness of the buildings.

Huo Lin and others surrounded her and shuttled through the ruins. It seemed as if they had eyes on their backs, and they nimbly avoided the landing points of the shells.

Yu Xia's body was stiffened by the fright of the shells, and at some point her hands were tightly wrapped around Huo Lin's neck.

The little dolphin was also frightened and hid in her mental picture. Her ears turned into translucent pink fins, revealing the characteristics of a spiritual body.

The spiritual body manifests itself mostly when the sentinel or guide's spirit is more sensitive or weak.

Yu Xia was frightened and a little stressed.

There had been no war in her world for a long time. Although civilization had regressed a hundred years after the apocalypse, there were no horrible mutant zombies or anything like that. While people were rebuilding their civilization, they were all living for basic survival, and when they went out, they were looking for food and relics left by the previous civilization.

The biggest trouble is the distribution of food and the shortage of medicine, but the situation is gradually getting better.

She had never seen such powerful lethal weapons since she was a child. At most, they were some ordinary bullets used to defend against large wild beasts.

Huo Lin sensed her fear, tightened his arms, released a mental barrier to cover her, and quickened his pace to find a place to stay.

We can't go to other sentry posts. Now is the time when the sentries are resting. It would be bad to run into them.

There was no shortage of houses to stay in, though, even if most were in ruins or filled with shells.

The planet Deman where they are now was once an S-class planet, but because it was polluted by alien species many years ago, the living environment gradually deteriorated to D-class.

These alien species in the contaminated areas have different forms. They are not creatures from their own galaxy, but "alien species" from distant galaxies. They cannot coexist with any creatures in their galaxy.

Once a polluted area is formed, all native organisms will be devoured by them, changing the environment into one suitable for their survival.

Now more than half of the residential areas on the planet Deman have been polluted, and only sentinels can be sent regularly to clean up.

But only a small part of the alien species can be eradicated. After most of the contaminated areas are formed, they can only barely suppress the spread.

Huo Lin and his friends took Yu Xia into a densely populated urban area and found a relatively intact house.

The well-trained sentinels searched the house first to eliminate dangers, and then divided the work to find useful objects. Huo Lin put Yu Xia on a table that the sentinels had cleaned, smoothed her messy hair, and comforted her softly: "Don't be afraid, it's safe."

Seeing Yu Xia hugging her arms and shivering from the cold, he pulled at his belt and prepared to take off his combat uniform and give it to her.

I was running in such a hurry just now that I don’t know where the shawl I found for her fell.

Before Huo Lin took off his combat uniform, Knicks came over with a blanket. He shook off the dust on it and put it on Yu Xia.

He saw that she was only wearing a white vest and shorts. The temperature in this polluted area remained between 3℃ and 6℃. He didn't know how long she had stayed in the polluted area and how she had managed to survive.

Yu Xia wrapped herself tightly in the blanket and finally felt a little warmer.

"Thank you." She said gratefully to Knicks.

Nix grinned at Yu Xia, "You're welcome."

His spirit subconsciously wanted to get closer to Yu Xia, but the black panther bared its fangs to prevent it from getting close, protecting her tightly.

Nix sighed softly and turned to look at Huo Lin, "She's really not yours?"

Huo Lin: "I know the 136 protection rules of the guide by heart."

Seeing Yu Xia's lips dry and pale, Huo Lin took out the last half bottle of water and handed it to Yu Xia, "Drink some water."

Yu Xia was really thirsty. She had never felt so thirsty before. After taking the water bottle and drinking most of it in one breath, she licked her lips, suppressed her thirst, and handed the bottle back to Huo Lin.

Huo Lin handed the water back to her lips, "No need to keep it, drink as much as you want, there's still water."

After he finished speaking, Nix took out a bottle of water and placed it next to Yu Xia.

The other sentinels also found their own water and gave it to her.

They had seen her spirit body and knew that she needed water more than anyone else.

Sentinels and guides will be affected accordingly due to the different attributes of their spiritual bodies, and their abilities and bodies will also be affected accordingly.

Yu Xia is the only water-type spirit here, and few of the sentinels sent to this polluted area are water-type spirits.

The sentinels of water spirits are basically sent to polluted areas such as oceans and lakes.

Now that they were safe, except for the two sentries at the door, all the other sentries surrounded Yu Xia.

Yu Xia was surrounded by tall sentries. She raised her head and glanced at them. The way they looked at her was similar to the way Huo Lin looked at her before, both were puppy eyes with sticky gazes.

She had the illusion that she was surrounded by a group of large dogs.

Seeing Huo Lin protecting her tightly with a vigilant look on his face, Nix said, "Don't worry, we can control them. If we can't control them, I'll give them a couple of blows first."

The sentries, who were swallowing their saliva as they smelled Yu Xia's pheromones, silently took two steps back.

Knicks also took a deep breath, trying his best to suppress the restlessness in his body, pulled out a chair and sat down in front of Yu Xia.

He gave a standard smile, suppressed the pheromones in his body, and tried his best to look gentle and friendly.

However, the sharp canine teeth on his lips, the temperament of a gangster, and the violent mental power that unconsciously emanated from his body made Yu Xia feel that he was not very friendly.

Instead, it feels like a bad guy trying to lure hostages.

Knicks's spirit body, the snow wolf, let out a "howl" and sat down beside him, grinning and sticking out its tongue at Yu Xia like a docile big dog.
