Armor Guardians

Chapter 215 Influence
Before long, dawn broke, and at the same time, the Gold Group's cleanup crew began their work, some collecting the bodies, others cleaning up the bloodstains. This was the deadliest battle since the last major catastrophe, and it was also a battle between friendly forces.

Ultimately, the biggest beneficiaries are the mutant beasts hiding in the shadows—a fact known to everyone, and one they have no choice but to accept.

Moreover, this information could not be prevented from being deliberately leaked by those with ulterior motives. Most of the heroes that ordinary people admired attacked humans last night, and those who died were all human losses.

To prevent such an incident from happening again and to suppress the voices of the people, the leaders of the major human powers jointly established a "Judgment Council," whose sole purpose was not to harm their own people.

Wan Qiliu of the Gold Group, Ye Ying of the Shadow Group, Gao Fei of the Black Group, and leaders of various overseas forces with more than a hundred members are all eligible to join. If they do not join, they will become the first targets for elimination in the next similar battle.

That noon, the news of the massive infighting among the powerful humans in the gambling city topped the news charts both domestically and internationally. Many videos from that night were even uploaded, and under public pressure, the news departments dared not arbitrarily censor them, allowing the information to continue circulating...

In the video, three sets of ferocious beast armor stood imposingly, kicking out all the intruders.

In the video, Xia Qianmeng, wearing the Candlelight Armor, and Xia Qianxue, wearing the Vermilion Bird Armor, are being chased by multiple people. In the end, they are even able to fight back to back and successfully escape.

Many people in China initially resented Xia Qianmeng for her indiscriminate killing, but now, after seeing so many negative news reports, they have come to realize that times have changed and they can never return to the previous era of civilization until the alien beasts leave.

Or perhaps, darkness has always existed, but it has been forced into the open due to the intervention of the alien beasts.

As a result, the online outcry against Xia Qianmeng has decreased significantly, replaced by a greater sense of bewilderment and unease...

Meanwhile, in a secret base of the Shadow Group, Xia Qianmeng finally woke up groggily after resting enough.

Gao Fei said she didn't need to handle the organization's negotiations, which is why Xia Qianmeng and Xia Qianxue were able to follow Ye Ying to this secret Shadow Group base to rest after the battle.

Looking at Xia Qianxue, who was still fast asleep beside her, Xia Qianmeng helplessly removed Xia Qianxue's little paws from her neck before gently getting up, wanting not to disturb Xia Qianxue's continued sleep.

However, Xia Qianmeng underestimated Xia Qianxue's current dependence on her. Xia Qianxue was awakened after not being able to touch her for two seconds, and only breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Xia Qianmeng was still by her side.

"……What's wrong?"

Seeing Xia Qianxue's startled reaction, Xia Qianmeng assumed that what happened last night had left Xia Qianxue with a psychological scar. If that were the case, then her psychological problems would be quite difficult to deal with.

Xia Qianxue didn't answer, but quickly crawled to Xia Qianmeng's side, hugged Xia Qianmeng's neck again, and finally pulled Xia Qianmeng down to lie down together: "Hug~"

When needed, she can be a very serious warrior like Xia Qianmeng, but now that she's safe, Xia Qianxue just wants to be a younger sister who can be pampered by her older sister, or an older sister who can bully her younger sister.

As for Xia Qianmeng, Xia Qianxue sees her as both an older sister and a younger sister, since they are twins and Xia Qianmeng dotes on her. Indeed, that's true; Xia Qianmeng is somewhat helpless with Xia Qianxue's current situation, so she simply takes out her phone to check the outside world, wondering what the current situation is like.

Last night's commotion was so big, I wonder how much it will affect humanity's ability to fight against the alien beasts.

After playing with Xia Qianmeng's hair for a while, Xia Qianxue comfortably rested her head on Xia Qianmeng's shoulder while Xia Qianmeng looked at her phone. Then she pressed her little face against Xia Qianmeng's little face, showing that she really wanted to be close to Xia Qianmeng.

Xia Qianmeng and Xia Qianxue browsed very quickly, and soon finished reading all the latest news. Then Xia Qianmeng wanted to get up again.

"Alright, stop fooling around, get up."

"Oh~"

Xia Qianxue didn't want Xia Qianmeng to dislike her, so after hearing Xia Qianmeng remind her again, she brought Xia Qianmeng over and accompanied her to get up and wash up, happily acting as Xia Qianmeng's little shadow as before.

"Sis, where do we go next?"

"I don't know, we'll take it one step at a time."

Glug glug, plop~

After washing up and confirming that her current attire was indeed perfect, Xia Qianmeng left the hotel-like accommodation in the secret base that her master had arranged for her and Xia Qianmeng.

Xia Qianxue clung to Xia Qianmeng's arm, biting her lip hesitantly in Xia Qianmeng's blind spot, before finally saying to Xia Qianmeng, "Sister, I miss Mom and Dad. Can we go back and see them later?"

"You miss them? I can have someone send you back."

"No, I want to go back with you. If that's not possible... I can wait a little longer, but it would be best if we could go back together."

As she spoke, Xia Qianxue timidly glanced at Xia Qianmeng again. She was very bold in other matters, but she was extremely afraid that Xia Qianmeng would be angry about this.

I was so busy during the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day holidays that I caught a fever and a cold...
