Chapter 1401: Deep Sea Hunters
Seeing that the room had fallen into silence again, Shen Xixi suddenly changed the topic. “But what you said makes sense. It’s too dangerous to continue chasing after them, and it doesn’t make much sense.”
“So, are you willing to stop?”Rabbit said happily.
“No, I plan to join the deep sea hunters and go out to sea with them,”Shen Xixi said.
The deep sea hunters were not a cla.s.s, but a newly established player organization. Unlike those guilds and Chambers of commerce, the deep sea hunters were only a temporary organization that did not pursue a long-term existence, in fact, the players who joined the deep sea hunters could not wait for the deep sea hunters to disband the next day.
It was founded by the Guardian of the mysterious human organization that had recently emerged. Among them, there were not only players, but also some professionally trained ordinary people, however, everyone joined the deep sea hunters with the same goal, which was to stop that thing in the city under the ice from destroying the world at all costs.
This price included the lives of its members. Therefore, in a sense, this organization was a death squad. It represented the unyielding spirit of humanity and the courage to fight to the end, at the same time, it carried humanity’s last hope.
Shen Xixi had considered joining the deep sea hunters before, but at the time, she didn’t think she had the courage to face the Lord of lalaiya, much less make a move, that was because the other party was using Zhang Heng’s body.
That was why she had chosen to pursue and crack down on the societies that had sprung up like mushrooms after a rain. It wasn’t until Li Bai and rabbit exposed her that Shen Xixi realized that she had only been running away. She had used this seemingly busy and proactive action to numb herself.
But Tonight, Shen Xixi did not want to run away anymore.
She said to rabbit and Li Bai, “You guys can go. I Can’t bring you along when you join the deep sea hunters.”
Rabbit looked like he was about to cry when he heard that. “Is it because we don’t listen to you anymore, Sister Xixi?”
“No, it’s because we don’t have much time left. Whether it’s the deep sea hunters or the G.o.ds’side, we’ve already tried our best previously, but we still can’t do much against that fellow. This is very likely to be the last battle. Gather all our strength, but to be honest, I don’t think our chances of winning are high.”
“Since the odds aren’t good, why did sister Xixi join the deep-sea Hunters?”
“Because there are some things that someone has to do.”Shen Xixi patted rabbit’s head, “This is also why I didn’t let you guys follow me. For the rest of the time, go home and spend more time with your parents and family. Cherish every second you spend with them. Don’t wait until you lose them before you start to regret.”
After saying that, Shen Xixi turned to Li Bai and said, “I have a mission for you. Can you help me send her home safely?”
“I’m not a child,”rabbit said unhappily. “I’ve been at the forefront of this period of time, okay?”
“I know.”Shen Xixi nodded. “I want you to stay here for a longer period of time.”
Hearing this, Rabbit’s face turned red, but then it became worried again. “Are you sure, Sister Xixi? That… you want to fight brother Zhang Heng?”
“That’s right. I want to believe in him like Fan Meinan and his father, but I’ve been waiting for more than a month. In this one month, I’ve only seen innocent people die one after another. I’ve seen the wors.h.i.+p of that guy spread like a virus in human society. Although I don’t want to admit it, I already have the answer in my heart.
“… He is gone. He has completely disappeared. There is no trace of him left in that body. It is time to face this reality and continue moving forward,”Shen Xixi said with a determined gaze.
..
Shen Xixi, who had already made up her mind, acted quickly. After sending rabbit and Li Bai away, she submitted her application to the deep-sea Hunter.
Without waiting for a reply, she took a plane to the deep sea hunter’s base in Sanya early the next morning.
The gray seven-story building in front of her originally belonged to a travel agency. However, when P2P became popular, the owner of the travel agency was jealous of the high profits. He also got a few partners to start a small loan, in the end, unfortunately, the thunderstorm caused the travel agency, which had a good business, to be unable to pay its salary. It had no choice but to declare bankruptcy.
This office building was then bought by the Guardian. It was originally a secret base of the Guardian, but now it was used by the deep sea hunter, and the address was no longer kept secret.
Shen Xixi glanced at the sea anchor sign on the gla.s.s door, then Strode in and went straight to the front desk.
“h.e.l.lo, is there anything I can help you with?”The receptionist at the front desk said with a smile.
“I’m here to join the deep sea hunter. I sent the application email yesterday.”Shen Xixi didn’t waste any time and went straight to the point.
“Okay, can you tell me your name or code name? I’ll check it for you.”
“Shen Xixi.”
The receptionist had already picked up the phone, but when she heard the name, her hand froze.
Shen Xixi waited for about five seconds. “Is there a problem? Didn’t you want to help me check on the Progress?”
“Oh, OH.”The receptionist came back to her senses and quickly reported Shen Xixi’s name and purpose of visit. The reply from the other side was also very quick. Not long after, the receptionist put down the phone again, she forced a smile at Shen Xixi. “I’m sorry, your application was not approved.”
“Why?”Shen Xixi frowned and asked.
“Well…”the receptionist didn’t know how to answer.
“I don’t want to make things difficult for you. Who’s in charge here?”Shen Xixi continued to ask.
“It’s usually Frankie, but he hasn’t come today.”As soon as the receptionist finished speaking, a man in a flowery s.h.i.+rt with a surfboard walked in excitedly, “The weather is nice today. I plan to go surfing in the afternoon! Cindy, do you want to come with me? Huh…”
The Man in the flowery s.h.i.+rt also noticed Shen Xixi at this time. The main thing was that Shen Xixi’s looks were too outstanding. He did not see the hint in the receptionist’s eyes and directly opened his mouth to strike up a conversation, “This beauty, are you here to join the Deep Sea Hunter? Why do you look a little familiar to me?”
“That’s right, I’m here to join the deep sea hunter, but for some reason, I was rejected. I’m looking for the person in charge here, Franky.”
“What a coincidence, I’m Franky.”The man in the flowery s.h.i.+rt rubbed his nose and his eyes lit up. “Whoever rejected you, I’ll make the decision for you.”
After he said that, he finally noticed the awkward expression on the hostess’face.
“What? You’re not going to say that I rejected her application, are you? “I’ve recently rejected an application. Wait a minute, I know who you are. Shen Xixi, you’re Shen Xixi, Zhang Heng’s cla.s.smate and friend. You seem to have a super-friendly relations.h.i.+p.”
