Chapter 136 Are you really a member of the Victory Team?
"Sir!"
The guard's voice instantly rose several pitches, with an unmistakable tremor mixed in.
He stared intently at the car that was slowly coming to a stop in front of him, his eyes wide open like copper bells, almost popping out of their sockets.
As the car doors opened one by one, several people stepped out. They were tall and burly, exuding a chilling and sharp aura. Their eyes were like cold stars, so sharp that they seemed to pierce through one's soul. Just by standing there, a sense of oppression was overwhelming.
The other person, though a woman, clearly indicated her status with her white scientist uniform and name tag.
The man he was talking to was still wearing the Victory team uniform.
The guard felt a chill run from his feet to his head, and his forehead was instantly covered with beads of sweat the size of soybeans. His back was also soaked with sweat and clung tightly to his uniform.
His legs trembled slightly, as if nailed to the spot, making it extremely difficult to move even a single step.
Lin Yeming took in the guard's unease and fear, and a pang of pity rose in his heart. He had never wanted to make things difficult for these dutiful little people.
He stepped forward and gently patted the guard's shoulder, which was as tense as a rock, his tone gentle and reassuring: "Don't be nervous, you're just doing your duty, it's what you should do."
"You should go back to your post. I'll handle the rest with him."
Upon hearing this, the guard felt as if he had grasped a lifeline. He nodded hurriedly, frantically wiping the sweat rolling down his forehead, his voice still trembling slightly: "Okay... thank you for your understanding, sir!"
Then, as if granted a pardon, he turned and hurriedly left, his steps slightly unsteady due to nervousness, almost falling. After regaining his balance, he almost jogged back to his post, glancing back every now and then, fearing that this sudden "storm" might cause further complications.
Hibi felt somewhat helpless looking at the guard's behavior, but she could still understand him.
After all, not just anyone can get into TPC; arguing at the entrance is unacceptable and would create a very bad impression…
Lin Yeming frowned involuntarily as he looked at the old man in front of him.
The old man was bent over, as if he was enduring pain.
Lin Yeming quickly walked to the old man's side and asked in a concerned voice, "Sir, you don't look quite well. Shall I accompany you to the hospital first?"
The old man slightly raised his head, his face pale, but he forced a smile. "It's alright, don't blame the young guard. I really have something important to discuss with the Victory Team. I just like to push myself too hard." Even as he said this, his hand, which was resting on his side, clenched unconsciously, his knuckles turning white, clearly indicating that he was enduring pain.
Hibi, who was standing nearby, leaned closer and said, "Sir, you should find a place to rest. Don't hurt yourself any further."
The old man stubbornly shook his head. "No, I must see someone from the GUTS team. Is this young man from the GUTS team? If not, could you please pass on my message and say that this matter is related to the monster that just appeared?"
His gaze was firm, revealing an unquestionable resolve. Even though his body was hunched over, he seemed to be supported by an invisible force, making his illness seem insignificant.
"What? A monster appeared today?"
Lin Yeming looked at Kenmura Yumi and Captain Kibi with some surprise.
What's going on with these two people? Why aren't they saying anything about this?
Was he replaced in his position at TPC?
But it didn't seem like that when we met just now.
Upon hearing Lin Yeming's words, the old man looked at him with some confusion.
He asked suspiciously, "Young man, are you really from the GUTS team? You didn't know the monster appeared?"
Lin Yeming was asked this question, but he wasn't embarrassed. He looked at the two of them and asked in a cold voice, "Actually, I'm not sure either. Am I a member of the Victory Team now?"
"Dr. Kenmura, Captain Kibi, what do you say?"
Yumi Kenmura and Kibi exchanged a glance, a hint of embarrassment flashing across their faces.
They all realized the seriousness of the situation, especially Yumi Kenmura, whose heart trembled when she heard the word "doctor".
Yumi Kenmura quickly stepped forward and grabbed Lin Yeming's arm, saying, "Yeming, what are you saying? Of course you are an indispensable member of the GUTS team! It's just that the monster appeared too suddenly, and then there were all sorts of problems in the passage. Everyone was so busy that we didn't have time to explain everything to you in detail."
"And there's a reason for this; it's not that we deliberately kept it from you."
Hibi quickly added, "That's right, Lin Yeming. Everyone in the team knows your unique abilities and rich experience. Without you, this tough battle will be difficult. We were indeed negligent just now, focusing on emergency deployment and neglecting to report in a timely manner."
Lin Yeming listened to their urgent explanations, his expression softened slightly, and he nodded: "Alright, in that case, let's deal with this troublesome matter first. Sir, please explain in detail, I can prove my identity."
After saying that, he tried to take out his identification documents.
But they saw the new city in the distance rushing toward them.
He waved towards the new city, then changed the subject, saying, "Looks like someone's going to vouch for me."
But he had already made up his mind that if Xincheng said no, he would turn around and leave.
Shinjo's face was flushed, veins bulging slightly on his forehead. He jogged over, kicking up dust with each step. His rapid footsteps sounded like a series of drumbeats, striking heavily on everyone's hearts. His eyes were wide open, burning with fury as he stared intently at Dr. Nezu, his gaze like two sharp steel knives, as if he wanted to pierce right through him.
Upon reaching his position, Shinjo abruptly stopped, his body swaying slightly from the inertia. He then opened his mouth and shouted at the top of his lungs, "You're Dr. Nezu?" His voice was hoarse and rough with anger, the volume of which seemed to ripple through the surrounding air. "You created that strange bird?" he questioned, taking a large step forward, his body leaning forward, his hands unconsciously clenching into fists, his knuckles turning white from the force, as if he were about to strike at any moment. The surging aura emanating from him made the surrounding temperature seem to drop several degrees. Anyone watching could clearly feel the surging anger he was seeking an outlet for.
