Chapter 16 The Ground is a Bit Dangerous

During the day, Mingmei and the others were still wondering why there were so few buildings on the surface. But that night, a thunderstorm that resembled an immortal tribulation made Mingmei understand everything.

The ground was a bit dangerous.

Especially when a bolt of lightning suddenly struck, alarming the entire base and activating its protective shield.

Mingmei stood on the balcony, watching the huge pit created by the lightning strike not far away. Then, she looked up at the tons of lightning striking the shield, and a million alpacas stampeded through her heart.

What if the lightning accidentally hit her house?

Mingmei couldn't sleep for the first half of the night, just watching the lightning outside the balcony striking the shield and creating flashes of light.

Then, she heard the high wind warning in the house and saw several tornadoes casually passing through the base like they were taking a stroll. Mingmei was speechless for a moment.

The fact that a base could be built in this place was absolutely outrageous!

She even became distracted during a video chat with her brother when she inadvertently discussed her initial life in the Sixth Legion.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing, the weather outside is not good."

Mingmei withdrew her gaze and continued to look at her brother, who seemed to have just finished working.

Mei Qiu was concerned about Mingmei's feelings upon arriving at the Sixth Legion, but after hesitating for a long time, Mingmei blurted out, "It's not very reliable."

"Really? I thought the Sixth Legion was very popular. Why do you look like I've tricked you?"

Listening to Mei Qiu's question, Mingmei didn't know how to answer. Her brother didn't seem to be joking.

The Sixth Legion was indeed very popular, just like her brother said. Before people understood it, the Sixth Legion was something to aspire to.

But from Mingmei's own experience, at least for now, the Sixth Legion's filter in her mind was completely shattered, broken into pieces.

"If you feel wronged, be sure to tell me, and I'll help you get even." Mei Qiu stared seriously at Mingmei's face and asked, "Did something happen when you went there?"

"Well, the thing is..."

Although Mingmei didn't intend to have Mei Qiu really come and get even, sharing the strange things she had encountered since arriving should be okay, right?

Mingmei thought so and did so. As a result, Mei Qiu laughed for a long time.

He laughed until tears came out.

"Hahahaha, that's a good method. I'll ask Uncle to connect this game to Hua Lan Star as well. What a great game! The new recruits haven't arrived yet, so I'll have my subordinates practice first, hahaha~"

Mingmei: "..."

Let it be destroyed!

You people are all heartless!

...

After a night of lightning and thunder, like "immortal tribulation," Mingmei dressed neatly in the morning and went to her service post according to the information sent by the optical brain.

A new member of the Guard Regiment.

Coincidentally, Mu Chen was also a member of the Guard Regiment. However, when they set off together, they knew that this position was not simple.

Otherwise, it would be too coincidental for the two highest-scoring newcomers to be assigned together.

The road they walked on went from the surface to underground. Underground, Mingmei could take back what she said yesterday about there being few people at the base.

There were really a lot of people underground. They walked towards the location shown by the navigation, and the closer they got to their destination, the more people there were.

Especially when they saw Mingmei and Mu Chen wearing the uniforms that the robot had delivered in the morning, their expressions were quite strange.

There was envy, there was shock. After looking at the expressions of these people, Mingmei temporarily put her worries back in her stomach.

It seemed that the Guard Regiment was not a particularly bad place, but rather something to aspire to.

Thinking of this, the corners of Mingmei's mouth showed a satisfied upward curve.

However, Mingmei forgot that with the Sixth Legion's all-out battle maniac personality, a position that could be envied and shocked by these battle maniacs was not very friendly to a salted fish like her.

Especially when she saw that her direct superior was a fox-eyed boy with small curly hair and a loosely tied ponytail, who didn't seem very serious, Mingmei's originally good mood quietly went down again.

It wasn't that she had stereotypes, but the men she knew with such fox eyes or squinting eyes were not very good people.

Among them, her two uncles cast the biggest shadow on her.

When the other party introduced himself as Duo Lun, Mingmei remembered that this was the one who pushed them into desperate situations in the game.

"So, it's you two, right? The ones who self-destructed at the end of the game."

Obviously, Duo Lun had also learned about their situation in advance. This posture of wanting to find fault immediately made Mu Chen stand half a step in front of Mingmei, facing Duo Lun himself. However, the other party's aura of wanting to find fault disappeared without a trace with a chuckle.

"Not bad, you two, you have potential!"

These words were Duo Lun's sincere praise. He even hooked Mu Chen's neck when he wasn't paying attention, acting like good buddies as they walked in front.

Mu Chen: ???

Bro, are you this familiar?

Mingmei: ???

...

As for the so-called Guard Regiment, Mingmei understood when she learned about Duo Lun's identity.

Wasn't this Hu Mingli's troublemaking group?

And it was the team that Hu Mingli led when he was causing trouble!

When Mingmei and Mu Chen were standing in front of Hu Mingli, Mingmei felt it even more strongly. She felt like she had boarded a pirate ship.

"Your mecha is very special."

In the office, when there were only Mingmei, Mu Chen, and Hu Mingli, Hu Mingli suddenly approached Mingmei, his deep green eyes locking onto her. Mingmei couldn't help but take a step back. She felt like she was being stared at by some kind of wild beast.

"Your brother actually didn't use such a powerful mecha and let it fall into your hands. Why?"

Seeing Mingmei's obvious dislike for his reaction, Hu Mingli immediately stood up straight and touched his chin, turning his gaze to Mu Chen beside him. He couldn't help but click his tongue and say, "Your mecha is also very powerful, but if you study these two mecha carefully, they are purely unorthodox."

As he said that, Hu Mingli sighed and muttered, "Damn rich people, custom-made S-class mechas!"

Mingmei: "..."

Mu Chen: "..."

"But that's perfect! Next time I'm suppressing bandits, I'll take you with me to practice!" As soon as they arrived, Hu Mingli began his enthusiastic invitation to cause trouble.

Mingmei couldn't help but ask, "Where are there so many space pirates for you to suppress?"

"Why aren't there any? The border of this empire is huge, okay? How many dark forces are there that we don't know about? Do you know how many people become space pirates every year?"

Hu Mingli used an exaggerated tone to describe it to Mingmei and the others. His appearance was completely different from his calm speech in front of the newcomers.

"But there shouldn't be any space pirates on the border of the Sixth Legion, right?"

Mu Chen also questioned it. Otherwise, how would they dare to just throw away the newcomers and pretend to be space pirates? The space pirates in this Canglan Star Region probably disappeared long ago, right?

"If there aren't any space pirates, aren't there still Zerg?"
