After becoming top guides, they are obsessed with

Chapter 675 Your Captain is My Sentinel

Yu Xia didn't look at him, and kept her head down fiddling with the communicator in her hand.

"Why is there no signal even here?"

The communicator's message pop-ups all show a no signal status. Isn't it supposed to be that these internal communicators are used in contaminated areas?

Nix said, "The pollution here is too high, and there's a strong magnetic field that's disrupting the signal; short-range communicators sometimes don't work."

After hearing this, Yu Xia gave up on contacting Flock with the communicator and asked Knicks directly, "Do you know where Marki is?"

“Marki?” Nix paused. “You know her?”

Yu Xia nodded.

Knicks: "How do you know her?"

Yu Xia: "I am her employer."

Knicks stared at her, making sure she was telling the truth.

As far as he knew, Maki had indeed been commissioned to enter the contaminated area of ​​North Second District.

So, the client is actually the sea princess in front of us?
The Knicks and Markey weren't very close, but Huo Lin was, so he made some deals with Markey and his team.

Actually, he wasn't hired by the federal government to enter the contaminated area this time; he was hired by Maki.

Before the North Second District passage opened, Maki hired a large number of sentries at the outer outpost, spending very generously. He also happened to be going into the contaminated area and wanted to make some money from her.

For large-scale cleanup operations like this, the federal government will proactively provide the sentries who enter the contaminated area with a cleanup fee, allowing them to receive two payments.

Maintaining a sentry force costs a lot of money. Although a wealthy dragon cub keeps pouring money into his service, it's his own force, and he has to support it himself.

Besides supporting his team, he also has to send money to the welfare home that raised him every month.

Leaving the secure job in the federal government, life outside is not easy.

“Tell me where she is, and I’ll go find her myself,” Yu Xia said.

Knicks glanced at the sky outside and said, "I'll take you to see her after dinner."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Amu came into the house carrying two large bags. "Boss, the food is here!"

"Boss, the water tank is full, I'll wash the clothes too." Casey followed Amu in.

"It's washed."

The two men stopped talking abruptly when they saw the girl curled up in a ball on the sofa in the center of the living room.

"Hi." Yu Xia waved to the two little dogs that were staring blankly at her.

“It’s you!” Casey exclaimed in shock.

As he spoke, he patted his face, rubbed his eyes, and thought he had misread the words.

Yu Xia tilted her head slightly and asked in confusion, "You know me?"

Casey blushed. "I saw you outside the North Second District passageway. We were clearing out heretics, and you were riding a pink dolphin."

Yu Xia understood, and looked at the Knicks, "You've seen me there before, haven't you?"

The Knicks remained silent, appearing even more serious in front of their players.

"She really is a princess," Amu murmured.

The other team members returned one after another, and upon seeing Yu Xia, who had washed up, they all had the same reaction as Casey.

Half of them had seen her before and knew her identity.

Yu Xia, Knicks, and his teammates sat on the ground eating.

Their team consisted of twelve people, and since there weren't enough tables and chairs inside, they simply sat on the floor.

The floor was carpeted, so it was fairly clean.

It was around six o'clock in the evening, but the sky in the contaminated area was almost completely dark. There was no electricity in the house, so Casey took an energy lamp and placed it between them.

Amu brought back a bowl of hot porridge, along with some dried meat and nutrition bars. Knicks, as the team leader, distributed the meager porridge to the players, giving each person only a small bowl.

This porridge is just ordinary rice porridge, without meat. The energy it provides is less than that of a piece of dried meat. Its advantage lies in its good taste, making it a rare delicacy in polluted areas.

In contaminated areas, it is almost impossible to eat fresh meat and fruit.

Not only are they difficult to preserve, but they can also be contaminated, infected, or mutated.

Yu Xia's bowl was the same size as the Knicks's, and they received the same amount of food.

She picked it up, blew on it casually, and then eagerly took a big gulp. After a long day, she was starving.

The fragrant and smooth rice porridge warmed her from her stomach to her whole body.

Yu Xia let out a long, comfortable sigh.

She finished the porridge in one gulp before licking her lips and putting down the bowl.

She looked up and found that all the sentries were staring at her, and the porridge in her bowl hadn't been touched.

Knicks poured the porridge from his bowl into hers.

Yu Xia pushed the bowl away, "You eat it, no need to give it to me."

Knicks: "You're welcome, this porridge won't give me much energy."

Yu Xia thought to herself that now she knew not to be polite.

“I don’t like porridge,” she said, pouring the porridge back into Knicks’ bowl. “It’s tasteless and not good at all.”

As soon as she finished speaking, a slurping sound rang out; it was Amu picking up his bowl and slurping down his porridge.

He finished the small bowl of porridge in a few gulps, then picked up a piece of hard jerky, chewed it, and looked at Yu Xia, saying, "We are naturally not as good as the sea tribe here. If you don't like it, then don't drink it."

Hearing Amu's somewhat impulsive tone, Yu Xia smiled, sat cross-legged, and rested her chin on her hand as she looked at him. "I've finished drinking."

Amu chewed and chewed, "Then you've really been wronged."

A sentry next to him slapped him on the back of the head and said, "Speak properly, stop being so sarcastic."

Amu glared at him. "What, you want to please her just because she's pretty? Miles, how old are you? What are you thinking?"

Miles is the oldest member of the team, but also the best-tempered "Old Wolf." Despite his age, he doesn't look old at all; he's just more mature-looking than the other sentries.

"You have no manners." Miles kicked Amu. "You should have stayed in the second team."

Amu: "I joined the team based on my own strength. You old man who wants to drive me away and beat me is here."

"Ignore him." Miles smiled kindly at Yu Xia. "Our conditions are indeed not very good, but just tell us what you need and we will try our best to meet your needs."

Yu Xia smiled in response, "Thank you, but I don't need anything else."

Seeing the little princess smile at Miles, Knicks solemnly poured her half a bowl of porridge and said, "Drink up."

Kathy, who was next to her, poured half of it for her, filling her bowl to the brim.

"You are our guest, and we should take care of you."

Yu Xia turned her head and saw that the young man, who was still quite handsome, had a shy expression on his face and ears, which had been red since he entered the room.

“Casey, if you don’t want to drink it, give me some of the porridge,” Amu said.

Casey shielded the porridge towards herself, saying, "Dream on."

Amu snorted and stared at Yu Xia, saying, "She's a guest, and guests will leave, understand?"

Yu Xia listened to Amu's words, which were even more barbed than before, and thought of what Nix had just told her: the sea people would be easily targeted when they were outside.

She wouldn't have paid attention to anyone else, but these were Knicks' men, and this group of sentries was his team.

Yu Xia picked up the bowl of porridge, took a sip, and said, "Who said I'm a guest? Your captain is my sentry."

"Cough cough cough!!!" Nix and several other sentries who were drinking porridge choked on their mouths after hearing her words.
