I'm a little panicked when I cross the collapse

"How can there be people in this world who look so alike? The two are completely unrelated, so why do they look so similar? Not only are their appearances identical, but even their tone of voice and manner of speaking are almost the same."

When Lu Qiong's gaze fell upon the woman named Mei, he was instantly frozen in place, unable to move, as if he had been struck by a spell.

He had prepared himself mentally for this moment, but even now, facing her in person, his heart was still filled with turmoil. (The child was likely recalling the wonderful life he had been under Mei's control and imprisonment.)

"Are you the new security guard? Has no one told you that staring at a woman with such a direct gaze is extremely impolite and rude?"

With a light tap of her fingers on the keyboard, accompanied by a crisp, short sound, Dr. Mei finally finished her busy work.

She slowly raised her head, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, and a hint of weariness showed in her beautiful eyes.

Her voice was clearly as melodious as heavenly music, yet it seemed to contain a subtle hint of indifference and aloofness.

"I'm sorry, but you look a lot like a friend I used to know."

Realizing his behavior was impolite, Lu Qiong quickly apologized.

"Really?"

Dr. Mei said with great interest.

hiss~

Looking at the strange look in the woman's eyes

Realizing something was wrong, Lu Qiong immediately thought to himself, "Oh no, will she think I'm trying to pick her up in this way?"

What I feared most came to pass.

The next second, Dr. Mei said in a very cold tone, "The way you strike up a conversation is very old-fashioned. It might fool some naive young girls."

"Um, I... um."

After careful consideration, Lu Qiong decided not to offer any further explanation, as it would only make things worse.

Mei slowly closed her laptop, her gaze falling on the man before her, her eyes calm and deep. After a moment of silence, she asked softly, "According to your superior's instructions, I must change my residence. So, would you like to come with me?"

Lu Qiong nodded without hesitation and replied, "Of course, my main mission here is to protect you."

His tone was firm and confident, but Mei couldn't help but feel doubtful.

She pondered to herself that the man named Lu Qiong in front of her might not be the best candidate for a security job.

Recalling the moment they first met, she realized that her appearance as a woman was enough to make the other person lose focus instantly.

Therefore, if an enemy were to attempt to harm her in the future, her low level of vigilance would likely make her ill-equipped for this important task.

"Perhaps you're not suited for security work, and... your way of flirting with girls is really outdated."

After saying that, Mei picked up the laptop on the table, then turned and left without hesitation, without even glancing back.

Lu Qiong was left standing alone, his face showing a blank and confused expression.

He stared blankly at Mei's receding figure, wondering to himself, "Did I say something wrong? Why did she suddenly leave like this? Shouldn't she pack her things?"

After a long while, Lu Qiong finally came to his senses, but he couldn't help but mutter to himself, "Were the things I said really that corny?"

"It's really tacky, just like... that idiot."

As Mei stepped outside, a familiar figure suddenly appeared in her mind—a person who was always full of passion, yet easily driven to madness.

In the past, in an attempt to get my attention, I've used some rather cheesy pickup lines, just like today.

...........

Mei stood quietly outside the door, letting the breeze gently ruffle her hair.

Her gaze was fixed on the distance, her eyes revealing a faint sadness and longing.

Looking back on the past, Mei felt a pang of emotion: "Time flies so fast."

She is no longer the naive and ignorant girl she once was. After experiencing many things, her mindset has matured considerably.

However, she could never forget that youthful memory.

Especially that "idiot" who used to make her laugh, she wondered how he was doing in the army now.

After glancing around and seeing that Lu Qiong had also come out, Mei didn't say anything more and walked out first.

Faced with this, Lu Qiong had no choice but to follow.

"Kevin's got some skills, I wonder how he managed to win over someone as aloof as May?"

He was curious.

Well, even if he's curious, no one will answer him at this moment.

We still need to focus on the present.

Good heavens, Dr. Mei disappeared in no time!

When Lu Qiong regained his composure and saw that there were no armed soldiers left in the courtyard, he immediately stopped being calm and hurriedly set off to chase after them.

"Wait a minute! I'm falling behind."

..................

Logically speaking, although Dr. May's previous residence was somewhat remote, it was still within the Firemoth's base area.

There are quite a few patrol posts, plus a group of heavily armed elite escorts. How could those high-ranking officials who want to assassinate Mei directly send people from the Poison Chrysalis?

Lu Qiong followed at the back of the team, leisurely placing his hands behind his head, with a blade of grass he had picked from some roadside greenery dangling from his mouth.

On the surface, he appears quite unremarkable, even nonchalant, but in reality, Lu Qiong has amplified his perception abilities considerably.

"Hey~, how come there are actually people who aren't afraid of death?"

Lu Qiong's expression at this moment was truly fascinating, as if he had swallowed a fly whole.

"These high-ranking officials are really something. They have neither ability nor a sense of the big picture. How did they all climb to these positions?"

"Ding!"

puff!

The sudden, blinding light forced everyone present to close their eyes.

"A flashbang! Quick! Protect Dr. Mei!"

Some hothead in the crowd shouted out.

Next second,

Bang! Ah!

With a scream, the man was shot in the head.

Swish!

With a crisp sound, the remaining soldiers moved in unison, quickly pulling down their helmet visors and simultaneously and skillfully releasing the safety catch on their machine guns, entering a state of high alert, ready to deal with any potential dangers as if facing a formidable enemy.

call out!call out!call out!

Immediately afterward, a sharp, piercing sound of concealed weapons cutting through the air rang out, like shooting stars streaking across the night sky, sending chills down one's spine. Caught off guard, several more soldiers were struck, screaming as they collapsed into pools of blood.

"Quickly! Open fire at twelve o'clock!" Seeing the critical situation, the leading captain decisively gave the order. With his keen observation and rich combat experience, he immediately pinpointed the enemy's hiding place. Undoubtedly, this lieutenant was a seasoned veteran, having seen countless battles. Unfortunately, however, they were facing no ordinary adversary.

The opposing party was a highly skilled and enigmatic terrorist organization known as the Poison Chrysalis. This organization was infamous for its ruthless methods and highly efficient, precise operations, striking fear into the hearts of all.

"Yes!"

Upon receiving the order, the soldiers carried out the mission without hesitation, their fingers gripping the triggers tightly, firing bullet after bullet toward the designated area ahead.

Tap tap tap........ Ding ding ding......,

In an instant, the dense, rain-like gunfire mingled together, deafeningly loud; countless spent cartridges fell from the muzzles to the ground like raindrops, making a crackling sound.

At this moment, the twelve o'clock position appears normal. However, closer inspection reveals a wooden box roughly the height of an adult. Clearly, the enemies hiding there had anticipated the danger and skillfully avoided the attack.

Click!Click!

In an instant, several dull cracking sounds rang out, and the once intact wooden box was instantly shattered, with wood chips flying everywhere.

Swish!Swish!Swish!

Suddenly, several dark figures emerged from the shadows like ghosts, appearing silently behind the unsuspecting team members.

These people were completely covered in black bodysuits, with only their sharp and cold eyes showing; they were clearly well-trained professional assassins.

However, at that moment, as if relying on the keen intuition and instinct accumulated from years of hovering on the edge of life and death, the leading lieutenant at the front of the group suddenly turned his head—although he did not hear any unusual sounds, a strong sense of unease welled up in his heart.

Almost simultaneously, rat-a-tat-tat! A burst of rapid gunfire suddenly rang out!

It turned out that the leading lieutenant had made a judgment in just a fraction of a second and pulled the trigger of his submachine gun without hesitation! In an instant, bullets spitting out tongues of fire rained down on the few silently approaching poison pupa assassins!

"Rear! Change formation immediately!"

Uh! Ah!

Screams rose and fell as the poisonous pupa assassins, whose ambush had failed, were instantly riddled with bullets.

After a few breaths, seeing that there was no other movement around, the lieutenant waved his hand to signal.

"Everyone, remain on high alert!"

Dr. Mei was surrounded by layers of protection within the crowd.

Having resolved the first wave of the crisis, the lieutenant cautiously approached Dr. Mei and said respectfully, "I'm sorry, Doctor, I'm sorry to have startled you. I hope you can follow my instructions from now on. The assassins are all well-trained and have excellent disguise skills."

"okay, I get it."

Mei nodded, clearly agreeing with the lieutenant's words.
