Chapter 72 Lucia
Xincheng was stunned for a moment when he saw the girl's actions, and subconsciously stepped on the brake.
Fortunately, the patrol car wasn't going very fast during their patrol, so it stopped quite smoothly.
The two quickly got out of the car, and the surrounding crowd tactfully made way for them. However, they also gathered around and started pointing and whispering.
Did you see that?
"That girl jumped so high."
"Hey, you saw it too? Jumping that high, you can't be an athlete, right?"
"You're wrong. No athlete jumps that high. It must be a stunt performer in a movie. This must be a photo shoot."
"But why is the Victory Team here?"
"Could they be aliens?"
"They must be good aliens."
The surrounding chatter filled their ears. The two walked up to the girl, paused briefly, and then walked around them.
When the onlookers realized that what they had hoped for had not happened, they began to chat about their own things.
The two of them lingered ahead for a while, and then the child's mother came over with the child.
"Sir, will my child be alright?" Although the public is quite accepting of aliens and monsters these days, experiencing it firsthand is still quite worrying. Fortunately, the GUTS team showed up.
Xincheng squatted down and asked, "Little friend, did that lady just give the balloon back to you?"
"Yes, uncle, are you going to arrest that woman?"
Xincheng's smiling face stiffened upon hearing the address "uncle".
He doesn't have a girlfriend yet, and he's not even thirty!
How did he become an uncle?
Seeing that Xincheng's expression was not good, the little girl quickly grabbed the balloon in her hand and hugged Lin Yeming's leg, saying, "Brother, please don't grab my sister, okay? She's a good person!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Yeming smiled, bent down to be at eye level with the little girl, and said gently, "I won't let Uncle take my sister away. On the contrary, I will find her and protect her."
The little girl tilted her head and asked, "Really? Then pinky promise!"
Looking at the little girl's innocent and carefree appearance, Lin Yeming couldn't help but chuckle. He raised his finger and hooked it together with the little girl's.
"Okay, brother agrees."
"Pinky promise, a hundred years from now, never to be broken!"
The two, one big and one small, reached this agreement.
Then, the little girl pointed to an alley and said, "Brother, where did that sister go?"
Lin Yeming ruffled the little girl's hair, stood up, and was about to go over.
But Shinjo was still withdrawn. He said to the little girl, "Actually, I'm a brother too..."
Before she could finish speaking, Lin Yeming pulled her away.
Xin Cheng watched Lin Yeming switch from bullets to monster homing missiles and asked in confusion, "Yeming, are you really going to protect that woman?"
Lin Yeming inspected the pistol and said, "Why not?"
Xincheng stood beside him, incredulous, and asked, "What you said wasn't just to coax a child?"
"I am not good at lying, and I do not want to break my promise."
"Don't worry, the captain will definitely not object to saving this person."
Lin Yeming gripped his pistol and strode into the alley, accepting his mission at the same time.
[You have triggered the mission: Defend the dignity of life! 1/2]
[Mission Objective: Lucia and her brother Zara have been exiled to Earth in the Milky Way galaxy. They are to be hunted by the Wood-Dwelling aliens. Sensing their pursuit, Lucia, to avoid harming the people of this planet, has chosen to flee into a secluded alleyway with the least foot traffic. You made a promise with the little girl to protect her. Furthermore, to uphold the dignity of life, please act immediately.]
[Mission Objectives: Rescue Lucia, rescue Zara, and eliminate the Wood-Dwelling Aliens.]
[Task Reward: For each condition met, you will gain the ability to select one "Wooden Star Person" affix. Meeting all conditions will increase your "Humanity Radiance" affix level by one.]
At first, Lin Yeming only thought it looked familiar, but then he saw the woman's bracelet and immediately recognized her.
Isn't that Lucia?
The bracelet on her wrist is a signal receiver, which has some positioning capabilities.
When he watched Ultraman Tiga back then, one of the things he felt most disappointed about was this series.
Lucia was killed in front of Daigo, and Daigo, unusually, transformed in a state of rage.
Back then, he had thought how wonderful it would be if he could just come back to Lucia...
So when he encountered this opportunity, he had no reason to refuse.
He accepted the task without even looking at it.
As soon as Lin Yeming stepped into the alley, he heard a slight panting sound, a result of his life advancement.
He looked in the direction of the panting and saw a woman wearing a blue top and shorts, with blue shoes on her feet and white socks, and a bracelet on her wrist.
It was indeed Lucia. At that moment, she was pressed against the wall, looking towards the roof.
It was as if they were desperately trying to avoid something.
“I know you’re here, I see you.”
"Lucia, don't run away."
A threatening voice, translated into Lin Yeming's advanced language, reached his ears.
This is a threat from the Muzhen aliens, which means he's nearby.
Lin Yeming looked in the direction of the sound and saw a corner of clothing appear in front of him at the edge of the water tower.
Lucia didn't answer, but instead seized the opportunity to run away.
"boom!"
The two attacks were fired almost simultaneously, and Lucia fell to the ground after being grazed by a bullet.
The Wood-Pure Alien was struck by Lin Yeming's single shot, which sent the monster tracker bullet into its body.
Although the damage is not high, it is extremely insulting.
Just as the Muzhen aliens were about to retaliate, they heard a series of gunshots.
He knew he couldn't get entangled, so he left the place directly and let Lucia go for the time being.
With Zara around, Lucia will naturally walk right into their trap!
As for the humans here, once he has completed his mission, he can find a few as prey for a new round of games.
Lin Yeming ran over and helped Lucia up, then took out a handkerchief to cover her wound.
Shinjo walked over warily, gun in hand. His pupils contracted as he looked at the green blood flowing from the handkerchief. He barely suppressed the urge to point the gun at Lucia and said, "Yoru, go straight to the TPC Medical Center. I'll inform Mayumi to prepare."
Lin Yeming nodded, looked at Xincheng's wary expression, smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, that guy was scared away by us. Go and bring the patrol car over, and report to headquarters so they can be prepared."
Xincheng put away his gun and left the alley.
Lucia could sense that the man she was looking at was basking in the sunlight.
Still shaken, she decided to seek help from the other party, whose younger brother Zara was also on this planet.
She opened her mouth as if to speak, but then gave up.
He realized that he was in another galaxy.
Since they couldn't understand each other's languages, they could only hope that the other party's headquarters could translate what she was saying.
