Chapter 208 The Awakening of the Super Guide (23)
The new Sentinels had already gone to the battlefield. Just as the teacher said, the riots were nearing their end. Even the newly enrolled Sentinels, under the protection of the mechs, did not need to worry about getting hurt.
They have already taken the lead today, adapting to the operation of heavy mechs and cleaning up the chaotic military district after the riots.
Soldiers on the front lines and senior students with more than a year of experience will also become their shield, protecting them and helping them grow.
All the guides in the campus area had also gathered at the rear and were already helping the sentries to disperse.
This place is relatively safe. After being reassured by the frontline guides, the sentinels who are mentally overloaded are generally not in such bad condition. Some may require further examination, but the students can handle them.
Everything proceeded smoothly, and Jingli's arrival did not cause any disturbance. He quickly immersed himself in the task and began to provide psychological support to the sentries who had been brought over.
This riot cannot actually be fully called a "war." Although the country that caused the disturbance intended to antagonize the Blue Stone Country, it did not have absolute strength in the current tense situation and dared not use too much firepower, so it did not cause too much damage.
For this reason, elite units like the Blue Stone Kingdom's Tiger Team were not the main force in controlling the riots; they were merely stationed in the rear, treating the situation as a military mission with veterans leading new recruits.
Therefore, the sentries sent down either had relatively low mental strength levels or were not very skilled at controlling their mental strength, which caused mental strength overload and resulted in riots of varying degrees.
For Jingli, this level of rioting was like a max-level player entering a newbie village—he handled it with ease.
With so many "guinea pigs" available, Jingli also conducted some small experiments when she was confident in her abilities.
He released 6058, allowing it to monitor the sentinels' mental and physical condition, while he himself used his mental energy to wrap around the energy and investigate the sentinels' mental state.
Sure enough, these sentinels also had some "impurities" and "sediments" in their mental power, and the situation was much more serious than that in Jingli.
If everyone's spiritual power has color, these impurities and sediments are like mottled spots in a pure color, like black holes, distorting the normal trajectory of spiritual power.
They are like tumors in a normal human body, irrationally absorbing and robbing a certain energy contained in spiritual power.
Jingli also discovered that the more experienced a soldier is, the more mottled their body is, and the lower their physical potential ceiling is.
Perhaps it's because they use more resource-based products on a regular basis, such as repair capsules, white pills, and boosters (concentrated nutrient solutions made from resources that can help sentinels and guides slightly increase their mental strength), etc.
This confirms Jingli and 6058's previous speculations.
Since Earth's resources have been polluted, the more people use them, the greater the impact.
However, these resources are clearly tied to national security, and even if Jingli wanted to access their source, he wouldn't have that much authority.
Today, 6058 recorded all the data. Jingli worked tirelessly to quickly help these sentries clear the area, and then applied to switch to Black Bear to help clean up the mess at the front line.
There were some wounded soldiers at the front line, as well as some "garbage" thrown over from the other side. This garbage mostly stimulated the five senses, prompting the sentries to focus their attention entirely on one of the five senses, putting them into a kind of trance-like state.
This method is disgusting, and the battlefield cleanup cannot involve sentries; most of the time it is the ordinary soldiers who are cleaning up.
However, ordinary soldiers operate heavy armor using an operating system, and the operation of heavy armor is not supported by mental energy, which is not only inefficient but also not very sustainable.
Jingli has now completed the evacuation work ahead of schedule, reducing the burden on the guides at the rear. After completing their assigned evacuation duties, the student guides, like Jingli, applied for heavy armor and went to the front lines to help clean up the trash.
The Guide operates the mech just like the Sentinel, but its five senses are not as developed. Under the protection of heavy armor, it is basically unaffected.
Apart from a few lower-level guides with poor physical condition, the remaining students all pitched in, which greatly accelerated the garbage cleanup.
They collected the trash and put it into a piece of equipment that was taller than a heavy armor.
The person operating the equipment smiled憨厚ly: "Thank you for your hard work, students. Next, we'll retaliate in kind."
While other countries are likely prepared for retaliation when they dump such garbage, this time they acted quickly and should be able to annoy them a little before they can react.
Thinking of this, the old soldier was in high spirits: "It's a rare opportunity to relax like this!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a large amount of "garbage" was coated with a special substance and fired in the direction the enemy was retreating.
If I had to put it in words, it's like a child throwing mud.
Beneath the colorful parabolic "rainbow" formed by the garbage packages, Jingli's mood lightened considerably.
A short while later, the principal, who was also busy in the military region, came to Jingli again and took him to the familiar tree-shaped building once more.
This time, however, they didn't go to Qi Jian's office, but to another large room that resembled a conference room.
"Don't be nervous, they're just trying to compliment you."
The principal was neither a sentry nor a guide; he was a retired soldier, quite old, and his smile carried a kind and gentle quality that made Jingli feel favorably toward him.
Knowing that the other person was trying to comfort her, Jingli nodded emphatically and pushed open the door to go inside.
"He's here." The man sitting in the middle looked to be no more than forty years old. His right eye was noticeably asymmetrical with his left, and a scar running from his forehead to his cheekbone added to his menacing appearance.
But when he faced Jingli, he deliberately restrained his aura—Jingli could sense that just those three words, and the way he looked at her, revealed an awkward yet earnest gentleness.
“SX001, our Blue Stone Kingdom’s first senior guide, it is thanks to him that our finishing work today went very smoothly.”
The man extended a hand to Jingli, indicating that he wanted her to come over.
Jingli stood beside the man, neither humble nor arrogant, and gave everyone a standard military salute.
"Good morning, officers. I am freshman 001."
The man nodded, his expression somewhat stiff due to his unaccustomed gentleness.
"I am the commander of the New Human Legion. I called you here today to announce something to everyone."
Qi Jian was also among them, sitting in the first row near the edge.
Jingli had a vague premonition. The next second, the man said, "The Legion has officially submitted an application to the school. 001, you will be exceptionally admitted as a freshman within the past year to become a Legion reserve soldier."
He paused, his stiff expression softening, and said seriously, "During this period, you will mainly be in the rear, assisting with all the legion's affairs. After a one-year probationary period, you will become a full-fledged soldier of the legion, 001. Are you confident?"
Jingli stood up straight, feeling a little excited.
The information on the New Human Legion is a top national secret, and 6058 did not view it without authorization, but he did have a brief chat with Jingli about it.
This legion is composed of the Blue Stone Nation's top sentinels and guides, including more than ten squads such as the Tiger Team. It is the Blue Stone Nation's sharpest weapon in this cosmic war.
At the same time, this team has very high authority, and all resources, except for those needed by the research institute, are given priority to this legion.
It's the kind of place that all the sentries in the school would fight tooth and nail to join.
Joining this team would be a great help to Keiri later on.
These thoughts flashed through Jingli's mind in an instant.
Jingli immediately straightened her back: "I have confidence!"
After he finished speaking, he subconsciously glanced at Qi Jian again.
In the shadows, a barely perceptible smile appeared on the other person's lips.
Jingli's heart trembled.
