Quick Transmigration: I'm the Villain's Assistant to the Protagonist

The scavengers cautiously explored this barren land, time seemed to stand still, and everyone's nerves were stretched to the limit.

Shen Ying crouched down, her eyes fixed on the ground, not missing any corner that might hide treasure. She muttered to herself, "Goddess of Luck, please protect me from any accidents or dangers. I really hope I run into Drake!" Old Li beside her looked around nervously, the detector in his hand trembling slightly.

Squad leader Ai Qiu walked at the front of the group, his expression serious, constantly alert to any movement around him.

Not far away, other scavenging teams were also searching anxiously. One of the team members muttered, "What valuable things could there possibly be in this godforsaken place?" Their leader quickly snapped, "Stop talking nonsense, search carefully!"

Just as everyone was focused on searching for any potentially valuable items, a strange gust of wind suddenly sounded.

"This wind is a bit eerie." Xiao Wang frowned, and before he could finish speaking, a group of ferocious alien creatures suddenly appeared like ghosts and launched a frenzied attack on them without warning.

"Oh my god!" Old Zhang was so frightened that he sat down on the ground with a thud.

These alien creatures are grotesque and terrifying in appearance, with twisted bodies covered in sharp bone spikes. They possess razor-sharp claws and sharp, white teeth, and their blood-red eyes reveal boundless killing intent. They move with lightning speed and possess extremely strong attack power; every pounce carries a deadly threat.

"Everyone be careful!" Ai Qiu shouted, raising the stick in her hand to defend herself.

"My life is over!" Xiao Wang cried out in despair.

"Don't panic, calm down first!" Shen Ying shouted, trying to appear composed.

In the midst of this chaos, the alien creatures pounced on them in a frenzy.

The scavengers were instantly plunged into extreme danger. Time seemed to stand still at that moment, every second filled with despair and fear.

They frantically raised their makeshift weapons, desperately resisting the alien creatures' attack. "Ah! Hold on, everyone!" Ai Qiu shouted, waving his stick incessantly.

"This monster is too powerful!" Old Li said, panting heavily as he swung his knife forcefully.

However, the disparity in strength gradually made it difficult for them to cope. Sweat soaked their clothes, and fear spread in everyone's heart.

"I can't go on!" Xiao Wang's voice was filled with despair, as if his whole body was about to shatter.

Just then, an alien creature lunged at Shen Ying with bared teeth and claws. She stared in terror, her body trembling uncontrollably, thinking she was about to die. Then, a tall, black figure appeared out of nowhere like a ghost.

The newcomer was dressed in a black uniform, seemingly blending into the darkness. The uniform clung to his body, perfectly showcasing the taut lines of his muscles. On the left chest of the uniform, a silver badge stood out—a falcon with outstretched wings, its lines simple yet sharp, as if ready to pounce on its prey at any moment, highlighting the unique symbol of his expedition team.

With a swift and decisive strike, he killed the alien creature.

"Phew, that was close!" Shen Ying's legs went weak as the man in black caught her. She gasped for breath, "Thank you!"

"Don't relax yet, the danger isn't over!" the tall man in black said in a low voice with a voice changer, sounding somewhat strange and mysterious.

"Are you from Drake's expedition?" Ai Qiu asked solemnly as she stepped forward.

The man in black nodded slightly: "Yes, I am Drake."

Shen Ying, standing beside her, tensed up abruptly. She turned her head sharply, her eyes fixed on the face of the man in black, Drake, which was completely covered. It was truly a stroke of luck that her mission target had fallen from the sky and saved her life!

Just then, a deafening roar suddenly came from the sky, as if it would tear the entire world apart. Everyone instinctively looked up and saw a huge silver spaceship descending rapidly like a meteor, the powerful airflow stirring up a cloud of dust that blotted out the sun.

"Wow!" someone couldn't help but exclaim.

It was Drake's expedition!

The expedition's spaceship had a unique design, with smooth, beautiful, and powerful lines that seemed to blend seamlessly with the rhythm of the universe. The golden eagle with outstretched wings painted on its hull shone brilliantly in the sunlight, as if it were about to come alive.

The spaceship doors opened, and the well-trained team members disembarked in an orderly fashion. They wore specially designed black and silver uniforms, the tight-fitting material perfectly hugging their agile bodies and showcasing their muscular physiques. Every movement exuded power and confidence. Their helmets were equipped with flashing communication devices, their lights flickering intermittently, as if transmitting information.

These people stopped behind Drake, who stood firmly at the front of the group. Tall and imposing, like a towering mountain, he commanded respect and instilled a sense of unshakeable security in everyone present. His eyes were sharp as a hawk's, yet concealed by dark goggles. He gripped a high-tech weapon tightly in his hand; its cold metallic sheen gleamed with a chilling light, deterring anyone from approaching. A dark scarf covered the lower half of his face completely. His hair was hidden beneath a black hood, and his eyes were obscured by tinted goggles, giving him an air of mystery and coldness.

"Prepare for battle!" Drake's voice, coming through the voice changer, sounded deep and powerful.

The scavengers, who had been stunned by the way Drake's expedition team made their entrance, suddenly snapped out of their daze and quickly gripped their weapons, preparing for the battle to come.

Drake led his team into battle swiftly, their movements synchronized and highly trained. Advanced weapons unleashed dazzling beams of energy, each shot hitting its target with pinpoint accuracy. Their tactical coordination was seamless; some drew the alien creatures' attention, while others launched deadly attacks from the flanks. Their shouts echoed in the howling wind, filled with fearless courage and unwavering determination.

Soon, the alien creatures were defeated by their powerful offensive and eventually scattered and fled.

Shen Ying was still shaken, her legs went weak, and she almost couldn't stand. But she quickly regained her composure and seized the opportunity to approach Drake, only to be blocked by a member of the expedition team who shouted angrily, "What are you doing?"

Startled by the other party's stern shout, Shen Ying trembled and stammered, "I just wanted to talk to your Captain Drake."

Drake glanced at her, nodded slightly to the teammate, and then gestured for Shen Ying to come over. His voice, coming through the scarf, came through the voice changer: "Is there something you need?"

Perhaps because she had just been frightened, Shen Ying's mind was still a little foggy, and she spoke without thinking. Because she was eager to stay by the other person's side, she blurted out in a rush: "You saved me, and I want to repay you by staying with your expedition team!"

The scene was deathly silent, with only the wind howling past.

Everyone:…

As soon as she said it, Shen Ying was shocked. What kind of absurd statement was that?! She quickly tried to cover it up, blushing as she said, "Don't misunderstand, what I meant was that I want to stay and help out in your expedition team. I don't want a salary, just food and a place to stay. I'm good at odd jobs and such. I also have quite a few skills among the scavengers, and I can even pilot a spaceship!"

Ai Qiu, who was organizing the team's operation from the rear, discovered that Shen Ying was missing. When she came looking for her, she overheard her bizarre remarks and froze on the spot. Now that she had recovered, she quickly pulled Shen Ying behind her and nervously apologized to Drake, "I'm sorry, my teammate is too honest. She didn't mean to offend you. We'll leave now."

Shen Ying was definitely unwilling, but Ai Qiu was far too strong, and she couldn't break free no matter how hard she tried. Tears welled in her eyes as she turned to look at Drake with deep reluctance. Her mission...

"Okay." The voice changer's cold tone.

The scene was deathly silent again, with only the whistling wind remaining...

The members of Drake's expedition team, finally realizing what had happened, felt as if they had been struck by lightning. Even the collapse of the sky couldn't have shocked them. If they weren't usually so serious, they would have completely lost their composure in front of these scavengers.

Shen Ying turned around in surprise, while Ai Qiu was stunned and even let go of Shen Ying's hand. Taking the opportunity, Shen Ying ran towards Drake, leaned forward, and said with admiration, "Captain Drake, I will definitely work hard."

Ai Qiu stepped forward again, smiled apologetically at Drake, then pulled Shen Ying away and whispered in her ear, "Are you crazy? Do you know who Drake is? There are so many opinions about him from the outside world, don't you care at all? And what's wrong with you? Could it be that you really fell for him just because he saved you?" After saying that, she looked at Drake suspiciously, who was wrapped up tightly. He always appeared in this way, and no one outside knew what he looked like. Even his teammates, except for those he trusted, did not know what their boss looked like.

"Of course I know that people outside don't have a good opinion of Drake, but I really want to join their team. Sister Aiqiu, don't worry, I'm not messing around, you can trust me!" Shen Ying couldn't tell Aiqiu the truth, so she could only seriously ask for her trust, after all, Aiqiu was only stopping her because she cared about her.

Ai Qiu looked at Shen Ying in silence for a while, then sighed: "You're an adult now, it's good to have ideas, but you must be careful in your actions. Since you've made up your mind, I can only respect it. Everyone has to be responsible for their own actions, I hope you'll take care of yourself. However, you can still contact me if you need anything, and I'll never make excuses to help if I can."

"Sister Aiqiu, thank you!" Shen Ying said, moved.

"Go ahead." Ai Qiu patted Shen Ying on the shoulder and turned back to the team.
