It is a common trait among human beings to like beautiful things, and White Wolf is no exception. The reason why she rarely shows this tendency is perhaps that she has become immune to it after looking in the mirror.

At this moment, the golden morning light shines through the green forest gaps and falls on Miss Qin Liu. Her hair is slightly shining because it is soaked in the sunlight, exuding a wonderful, otherworldly and holy aura.

The white wolf was stunned.

This moment of daze was very serious. Qin Liu watched the whole process. She keenly noticed the momentary loss of focus in Olicia's eyes, and her heart suddenly became restless.

She suppressed her temper, took a deep breath to calm herself, and with what she thought was the gentlest smile on her face, she stepped closer and said, "How about it? Miss Olicia, please promise me."

Here, Miss Qin Liu miscalculated. She thought she was giving a gentle and harmless smile, but in fact, she was so excited that she accidentally revealed some hidden thoughts on her face.

This special meaning is not easy to be noticed by others, but Bai Lang is a very thoughtful person. She felt an ambiguous element from Qin Liu's face, as if something was suppressed and could not be expressed.

She took a step back hesitantly.

Seeing this, Qin Liu was surprised and anxious, so he took a step forward and said earnestly:

"Promise me."

Bai Lang still couldn't help but step back. She wanted to speak, but saw Qin Liu continuing to approach her. She didn't know why, but as the other party approached, her body's instinct drove her to step back.

This time, escape didn't work, as a big tree blocked the white wolf's steps. Miss Qin Liu didn't care about it at all, or rather, this scene was exactly what she wanted.

She took two quick steps forward, stood in front of Miss Olicia, and then supported herself on the tree with both hands to prevent the other party from escaping to the left or right.

Bai Lang suddenly came to her senses and looked around in panic. Seeing that there was no escape, she finally realized that she was hit by a tree. She really couldn't understand why this happened suddenly. Miss Qin Liu's condition was too strange.

He didn't look joking as usual, nor was he serious either. Instead, he seemed like he was eagerly looking forward to something.

"Promise me." Miss Qin Liu had already come close to him.

White Wolf could clearly feel another warm body approaching little by little, and she desperately used her brain to find a way to escape.

While she was thinking nervously, she looked up inadvertently and found that Miss Qin Liu's eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of mist and her face turned pink.

Although she didn't understand why, Bai Lang was suddenly frightened. She straightened up abruptly, hugged Qin Liu, whose body was burning, and used her arms to make a round move, pressing her against the tree.

Now the two people's positions were switched.

"What exactly do you want me to promise?" White Wolf asked loudly on purpose.

"Uh, um?" Qin Liu was suddenly pressed against the tree, and when he heard Bai Lang's loud question, his head quickly cleared up.

The next moment, her face turned blood red.

what is going on actually?

She clearly wanted to ask Miss Olicia if she wanted to recruit her into the company, but why, why did she go off topic and talk about that kind of thing?

It’s not working, it’s not working, I must be broken.

She blushed for a while and glanced at the other person nervously, afraid that what she had just thought of would be seen.

Although she also knew that no one else could know the unspeakable things in her mind.

Qin Liu leaned against the tree, trying to calm herself down, but still didn't dare to look into Bai Lang's eyes: "I just want to ask if Miss Olicia needs a helper."

"Helper? Do you mean, you want to join Ice Stone Mining?" White Wolf said thoughtfully.

Qin Liu nodded. She realized that this was a critical moment, so she pointed with her fingers and said seriously, "I think I have good conditions. You see, I am good at clerical work and can help with some diplomatic affairs. What's more, I have no requirements for salary."

Most importantly, she could be a true guardian knight, she thought.

Perhaps this idea contains some unrealistic fantasy elements and the influence of knight novels on the second-year girl complex, but no matter what, this is her true thought and desire.

Deep down in her consciousness, there are actually other vague thoughts hidden, but in the face of the most fascinating ideals and lofty will, all desires and distractions will be cleared away.

Bai Lang was surprised to find that Miss Qin Liu had become as clean and pure as before. She could not refuse and it was impossible to refuse Miss Qin Liu's request, so she just nodded and agreed.

When she was about to speak, she suddenly remembered that the other party was a reserve member of Rhodes Island, but had not yet officially joined. If she did this without saying a word, would it be considered as stealing people from Rhodes Island?

Once she calmed down, she thought that it was not normal for Miss Qin Liu to want to go to Bingshi Mining.

Rhodes Island is obviously a better way out, and it is also suitable for the other party to display his own abilities. Going to a strange country like Ursus for no reason would be fine if it was for the salary, but Miss Qin Liu said that she didn't care about the salary, so what was the reason?

She had a strange guess, but her own reason rejected it because she found a more reasonable reason.

Miss Qin Liu is a person with a strong sense of responsibility and is willing to make selfless contributions for her friends. She has been taken care of by her since she came to Victoria. Now that she wants to go to Bingshi Mining, she is probably afraid that she knows nothing and will ruin a good company.

She couldn't let such a friend down.

Bai Lang considered the wording and said, "I won't agree right away. Miss Qin Liu should think about it carefully and think more about yourself. Are some things really meaningful? Of course, if you still want to go to Bingshi Mining in the end, I will definitely welcome it."

So, there is still a test, Qin Liu interpreted it this way in his mind.

Her eyes suddenly lit up and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. She drew a rapier from her waist with her right hand and threw it out. With a sharp sound of breaking through the air, a deformed creature with pitch-black fur more than ten meters away was nailed to the ground.

The two men quickly walked over to check and saw a coyote lying on the ground with half of its head covered with crystals. The sneaky hunter had become a corpse, and the rapier had just pierced its heart.

"Just a coyote." Qin Liu drew out her sword and stabbed it into the ground, while secretly observing the white wolf's expression. She was very satisfied with her performance.

Unfortunately, she didn't get the feedback she wanted.

"Something's not right." White Wolf said softly. She frowned and leaned over to examine the beast's body. She felt that this severe brain infection looked familiar.

Volume 4: Chapter 98: Lesions

Qin Liu had no idea what Bai Lang wanted to do, she just knew that she should help at this time, so she squatted down and reached out to check the body.

"Don't touch."

With a crisp sound, Bai Lang rudely slapped Qin Liu's hand away.

This made the kind-hearted Miss Qin Liu feel very aggrieved. Bai Lang had never beaten her like this before, and what's more, this was done when she was completely considering the other party's best interests.

She looked at the red marks on the back of her finger sadly, retracted her hand, and said tearfully, "I, I just want to help, please don't be so cruel."

White Wolf was so focused on the infected beast that he didn't notice Qin Liu's condition. He just thought that the other party was a little dissatisfied, so he explained seriously:

"You can't touch dead infected creatures casually. You are an ordinary person. What if you get infected? Rhodes Island's manual should have mentioned it."

Just like that, Qin Liu thought, turning sadness into joy. How could Miss Olicia be so mean to her for no reason? This is all for her own good. Hey, why is it Miss Olicia who got the mineral disease instead of someone else? Such a good person, it's really unfair.

"I remember now." Qin Liu tapped his chin and said thoughtfully, "The infection ability of the dead infected organisms is greatly increased, but this situation only gradually appears half an hour after the organism's death. Now is still a safe period. Thank you Miss Olicia for reminding me."

So it was half an hour later? Bai Lang was shocked. She had actually forgotten this. But it didn't matter. She frowned, put on a serious attitude, and said without raising her head:

"Of course I know it's half an hour later, but for something as critical as this, you can never be too careful, don't you understand?"

"Yeah, I see." Qin Liu nodded repeatedly, thinking that she was indeed Miss Olicia, who was very thoughtful. After all, wasn't it that the other party cared about her by considering things so carefully?

Oh my, so happy.

She squatted on one side, her chin resting on her knees, looking at the serious Miss White Wolf with a smile, feeling like her heart was melting.

White Wolf turned the coyote's body over, then picked up a broken branch from the ground, bent it into a foot-long stick, and began to examine it.

This was a skinny coyote with dull fur all over its body. More than half of its head was covered with conspicuous scarlet Originium crystals. These Originium crystals grew out from the corners of its mouth, blocking its mouth.

Before encountering the white wolf, this predator must have not eaten for a long time. Even if it hadn't encountered what happened today, it would have soon starved to death in the jungle.

The infection lesion of the coyote is in the back of the head, and the Originium cluster also grows from the back of the head. This location is actually not normal.

The infected parts of ordinary Originium creatures are mostly the mouth and limbs, which are easily exposed to Originium and cause infection. If they live in an Originium dust area, it should be a scattered infection throughout the body or a lung infection is more common. It is really strange that there is no problem with the body but a severe infection behind the brain.

To be precise, the last time she saw such a case was in Rhine Life's experimental area.

In Terra, prohibiting the artificial creation of infectious organisms is a consensus among major countries, but no matter which world it is, the situation seems to be almost the same. Everyone is only good at shouting slogans loudly, and continues to do what they want to do behind the scenes.

Rhine Life is inseparable from the educational institutions of Victoria and Leithania. Most of its core research members come from universities in the two countries. Since the research on Originium creatures is popular in Rhine Life, it is not surprising that it appears near the National University of Victoria.

Although he had an idea in his mind, White Wolf was still not particularly sure. Who could guarantee that such a brain-infected creature was not a special case in nature?

Therefore, she did not plan to tell Qin Liu her guess for the time being, but continued to patrol the assessment area with the other party.

Half an hour later, the area they were responsible for had been cleared, and Miss Qin Liu killed two more carnivorous Originium creatures, but both were normal infections, and no special circumstances occurred. White Wolf was also slightly relieved, but he still buried his guess in his heart and kept a watchful eye on the forest.

After completing the initial inspection, members of the Guard Academy entered free working time and could choose where they wanted to go based on the student distribution data on the instrument.

Bai Lang also remembered the primary purpose of her coming here, so she quickly discussed the action plan with Qin Liu, planning to first find the expected "breakthrough point" Miss Aina.

She didn't expect that this matter actually had an extremely quick solution: personal data had been preset in the positioning bracelets of national university students, and they could directly find Aina's location with their own equipment.

After teaching the relevant usage skills, Qin Liu demonstrated while leading the white wolf to the outer edge of the forest. There, the green dot symbolizing Miss Ina was moving slowly together with another green dot.

It is worth mentioning that Miss Aina and her friends went further than other examinees, which was convenient for White Wolf because she could find them quickly.

……

The perspective shifted to Bo Lu. She felt that she had followed Aina for a long distance and her legs were sore. The other students who had been traveling with them had already found their target points and started their investigation.

Only Aina insisted on going deeper into the jungle, saying that the probability of getting points there was high.

But how could she not understand what was going on? It was clearly Sister Aina who wanted to find Miss Olicia.

Sister Tianhuo is right, Sister Aina is a 'flower maniac'.

I want to find the other person and have their contact information, but strangely I don't want to call them directly. It's really hard to understand.

Bo Lu knew that such a search was like looking for a needle in a haystack, and finally couldn't help but remind her: "Sister Aina, this won't work. Give me your contact information and I'll help you make the call."

"What are you doing on the phone?"

"Tell Miss Olicia that we need help, and then she will come over, right?"

Aina blushed immediately: "Why, how can this be? I'm not in a hurry at all, and Miss Olicia is so busy, let's not disturb her."

"Then why are we still going? Wouldn't it be nice to collect samples nearby?"

"Okay, fine, then let's do it here." Ina had no choice but to nod reluctantly. The two of them put their luggage next to a big tree, took their tools and officially started the operation.

On the other side, White Wolf had already reached Miss Aina, but she suddenly noticed that Aina and her partner were moving very slowly, and guessed that they were collecting samples like the other examinees.

If they go there now, it would be equivalent to disturbing their assessment. It would be troublesome if they make the other party angry. Bai Lang talked to Qin Liu and the two of them started patrolling nearby.

Volume 4: Chapter 99: Formal Contact

For Aina, collecting samples in the disaster area was a piece of cake. Due to the abundant sample resources, the collection speed was much higher than when she and her mentor worked in other occasions before.

In fact, the whole process of identifying what you need from environmental materials, selecting truly useful samples, and placing them into reagent bottles or sampling bags according to strict operating procedures is itself a comprehensive assessment of a researcher's vision, ability, and operational level.

In front of such professional projects, Bo Lu could only worship Aina. Her sister Aina had always been the kind of person who didn't attend classes every day and always stayed in the laboratory or field research sites. It was too easy for her to do these things.

However, many problems also arose accordingly. If it weren't for the tutor's guarantee of scientific research results, Sister Ina would probably have been expelled from school because of her serious failure in courses.

After working for a whole morning, Aina and Bo Lu sorted the collected samples into packages and sat together under the shade of a tree to eat.

Their lunch is the school's special compressed biscuits. A palm-sized piece can provide a lot of calories. The only drawback is that the taste is really not that good.

After eating, Ina leaned against the tree trunk, picked up the water cup, and was about to take a few sips when she suddenly heard the rustling sound of clothes rubbing against the bushes in the jungle not far away.

Someone is coming.

#

She quickly wiped the biscuit crumbs from the corners of her mouth with the back of her hand, reminded Bo Lu, then put down her water cup and wanted to see who was coming.

Bai Lang put down her phone. She was sure she was near Miss Aina. To avoid misunderstandings, she greeted her as soon as she walked out of the bushes:

"Ms. Ina, I'm Olicia."

What surprised White Wolf was that Miss Ina seemed particularly excited when she saw her and her face immediately turned red, while the white-haired Philin next to her looked fine and sat upright with a dignified look.

Miss Ina is really shy, White Wolf thought.

She didn't know the little girl with white hair, so she walked over quickly and introduced her:

"I'm Olicia, and the one behind me is my friend, Qin Liu. We've been on patrol, and I didn't expect to run into you, so I came over to say hello."

"I'm Qin Liu, a former graduate of the Guard Academy. Nice to meet you." Qin Liu also introduced herself with a smile. Her eyes swept across the two students and lingered on Aina for a moment longer.

She didn't know why, maybe it was an intuition, she always felt that there seemed to be something wrong with this person called - Aina, well, she needed to pay special attention to her.

Ina was also secretly observing Qin Liu. She keenly sensed a unique aura from her, something that only people like her could understand. And based on the way she occasionally glanced at Miss Olicia, she was certain that there was something wrong with this Miss Qin Liu.

A huge sense of crisis enveloped her.

A wonderful thing happened. Aina's original problem of blushing due to nervousness suddenly disappeared. She even smiled naturally and said eagerly: "I am Aina. Hello, Miss Olicia and Miss Qin Liu. Miss Qin Liu, your hair is so beautiful."
