I'm fully aware of the situation in leizhe city and my mission as a Hunter and a cultivator. Colonel Huo, please give me your orders. I will defend my oath and honor with my life!

very good, Captain yang. This portable crystal processor is installed with a high-performance positioning chip. I've already sent your coordinates to all the federal soldiers and cultivators nearby. Someone will come to your rescue very soon!

Huo Shan raised his voice.  your only mission is to protect the owner of the portable crystal processor at all costs until the reinforcements arrive. Do you understand? "

Yang Yi's eyebrows were raised high.

He looked at the little girl with eyes full of curiosity.

"Understood."

Yang Yi did not say anything.

After a pause, Huo Shan explained, "  this little girl's name is 'ding Lingdang', and she can indeed be considered my niece. But that's not important. What's important is-"

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The rolling Thunder fell from the sky again.

It caused the entire land to shake.

A large number of broken walls were collapsing.

The mountain-like ruins also fell apart, revealing the broken limbs underneath.

Due to the chaos of the natural energy, the thunderstorm around leizhe city was getting more and more intense.

The mystic rays emitted by the portable crystal processor flickered, and the communication was cut off by the strong interference.

Colonel Huo Shan's voice was drowned out by the howling wind and the howls of demon beasts.

Looking at the gradually dimming mini light beam, Yang Yi tilted his head and thought for a moment. Then, he put the portable crystal processor back on the little girl's wrist.

"Wake up, ding Lingdang."

He adjusted his facial muscles and nerves and revealed a trustworthy smile.  you're saved!

The girl with monstrous strength

It was strange.

When the little girl named ding Lingdang closed her eyes and slept quietly, she was chubby and round, just like a clay doll made of solid materials and lovely innocence.

However, as soon as she opened her eyes, the two sparks hidden in her eyes flickered without stopping, bringing a valiant and vigorous aura to her master.

"This girl is really strong!"

Yang Yi was a little surprised.

The so-called "strong" naturally did not refer to the body.

Instead, it was the surging vitality hidden in ding Lingdang's bone marrow.

An ordinary person who had just experienced such a disaster and was buried under the ruins for at least half a day would appear weak and flustered even if there were no major problems.

Ding Lingdang's breathing and heartbeat, on the other hand, returned to normal in only a few seconds. They were strong and stable.

It was as if a sturdy and durable old crystal reactor had been installed in her chest.

As Yang Yi thought about it, he spread his fingers and waved them in front of ding Lingdang's eyes.

don't be afraid. I'm yang Yi, a hunting police from nunwu city. Due to the urgency of the situation, I've temporarily accepted the command of the federal Army. I'm here to rescue you under the orders of Colonel Huo Shan of the 338th special combat brigade of the federal Army's great desolate war zone.

do you still remember who you are, your parents 'names and positions, and what just happened? "

Upon hearing the words 'Colonel Huo Shan', ding Lingdang's eyes lit up.

It was obvious that this was a name she was familiar with and trusted.

The little girl's condition was better than Yang Yi had expected. Her eyes were only dazed for a short while before she tilted her head and recalled, " "I, I'm here with my mother to attend the opening ceremony of the defensive array in Lei Zhe city.

my father is a refiner of the federal Army and a member of the defense array production team. He is very busy. I haven't seen my father for almost half a year.

before the celebration, the defense array needed to be repeatedly repaired and adjusted. Dad was still busy, and mom met an acquaintance. I was bored in the hotel, so I sneaked out to find out if there was a martial arts Hall in Thunder City to play in.

"Then, hiss, then, the Suan ni beast tide erupted!"

Ding Lingdang's pupils immediately constricted to the size of a needle tip.

She recalled everything.

Yang Yi secretly cried out.

He thought that the little girl would be so frightened by the horrible scene in her mind that she would scream and cry, or even lose the ability to think and move.

After all, leizhe city had just experienced one of the most terrifying disasters in the Tian Yuan world, the beast tide outbreak.

The tide of demon beasts from the blood demon sector flooded into the new mining city Deep inside the Grand desolate plateau through the wormholes, destroying everything that human beings had just built and killing most of the builders and the citizens who had just moved in.

A mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, an extremely cruel scene. Even a veteran who had survived hundreds of battles might collapse on the spot when he saw it.

Not to mention, it was a child in his teens.

Unexpectedly, ding Lingdang grabbed Yang Yi's shoulder and jumped up.

"Is it really a beast tide outbreak?"

Ding Lingdang looked around at the burning Shura's slaughterhouse. She did not have the fear that people of her age should have. Instead, her glittering eyes were emitting more and more scorching brilliance.

"Bastard!"

Ding Lingdang, who was only 12 or 13 years old, waved her chubby little fists. Her round gray face was full of anger.  leizhe city is the blood, sweat, and tears of my father and other uncles and aunties. These damn demon beasts have ruined my father's blood, sweat, and tears. I will not forgive them!

"..."

Yang Yi was dumbfounded. He glanced at his shoulder.

He couldn't understand how a 12 or 13-year-old girl could have the strength of a rhinoceros. Her grip on his shoulder was so painful!

you, my little friend, do you still remember your name? "

Yang Yi asked carefully.

In his heart, he wondered if this girl was born to be such a Tiger, or was she so frightened that she lost her mind?

Oh, my name is ding Lingdang. You can call me little Ling, or you can call me by my nickname,'ding Lingdang'!

Ding Lingdang was not afraid of strangers at all. She looked at Yang Yi with bright eyes and even waved her arms and twisted her butt three times to the left and three times to the right, telling Yang Yi that she was fine, in good health, and everything was normal!

"Ding Ling as the judge?"

Yang Yi didn't understand.  it's a very interesting nickname.

when I was a child, other girls liked to play with dolls, weave flower wreaths, and wear beautiful flowery clothes. I was the only one who liked to play with my father's magical equipment parts and my mother's swords and halberds. I often carried all kinds of magical equipment parts and broken weapons on my back and ran around while making 'tinkling sounds'. As time went by, everybody called me that.

As ding Lingdang spoke, she seemed to have recalled Yang Yi's words just now. Her big round eyes widened even more.  uncle yang, are you a hunting police officer? "

Yang Yi understood what she meant.

The Hunter police was a very special profession in the circle of cultivators.

Compared to ordinary people, cultivators were too destructive and too mobile. Most importantly, they were very good at disguising, hiding, and escaping.

As a result, once cultivators committed crimes and were wanted, it was difficult for ordinary law-enforcement departments to lock onto and catch them.

The only effective way was to analyze, research, track, capture, or even execute cultivators on the spot for years.

The targets of the so-called 'hunting police' were the criminal cultivators who were on the run.

Because of the slyness and danger of the target, a Hunter police often needed to work hard for half a year or even several years before they could lock in and catch their opponent.

If the criminal fled a thousand miles away, the law-enforcement officers would also have to flee a thousand miles away.

If the criminal escaped to blade mountain flame sea Guild, the law-enforcement officers would also have to catch up to them.

In this process, both sides continued to battle with wits and courage, using all their skills to engage in a thrilling game on the hidden battlefield that ordinary people could not see or even understand.

In reality, this kind of black and white game was, of course, boring and cruel.

However, for understandable reasons, all kinds of popular entertainment products with cool sound and visual effects often liked to make this process romantic.

He would give the Hunter police the Halo of a combination of " bounty hunter " and " heavy agent.

It represented authority and justice, but it also had the excitement of a lone hero.

As a result, the Hunter police had become the Golden profession that countless young people who were eager to become cultivators were after.

"What, you want to become a hunting police too?" Yang Yi smiled.

"I'm Yingying!"

Ding Lingdang hesitated for a moment.

Obviously, the awe-inspiring presence of the Hunter police was to her liking.

But she still shook her head.

"Forget it. I heard that it often takes you a year and a half to catch a criminal. I can't stand it. I'll take such a long time to catch a criminal.

"However, my parents have a lot of friends who are hunters. They have the same smell as you, uncle yang. They are like lone wolves.

"By the way, why did uncle Huo send you to find me? how are my parents?"

Ding Lingdang raised her wrist and checked the information recorded by her crystal processor. She was somewhat confused.  why didn't mom and dad send me any messages? "

"Thunderstorm."

Yang Yi pointed at the surroundings and explained simply.

Ding Lingdang was the daughter of the vast wilderness.

Born in the great wilderness, he naturally knew that when a thunderstorm raged, the magnetic field of the heavens and earth would be severely affected. It was very normal for the spiritual Crane's messages to be temporarily blocked and unable to be sent.

Ding Lingdang was suddenly enlightened, but she did not think too much about it.

oh no, I sneaked out, and my parents don't even know. It just so happens that the beast tide is coming, so they must be very worried.

Ding Lingdang's little face was scrunched up. She looked at Yang Yi expectantly.  uncle yang, you ... Can you help me get out of here? "

"Of course!"

Yang Yi nodded heavily.  ding Lingdang, I can tell that you are a different kind of child. Therefore, I don't intend to treat you as an ordinary child or someone who needs protection.

"From now on, you'll be my teammate, a teammate who will fight side by side and never abandon me.

trust me. As long as we work together, we will definitely be able to find Colonel Huo Shan and your parents through this damn place.

but I have one condition. Before we leave the city, no matter what happens, you must have absolute trust in me and follow my orders. Do you understand? "

understood. I'll follow your orders and complete the mission!

For a little girl of ding Lingdang's age and character, there was nothing more worthy of happiness and pride than an awe-inspiring adult who treated her as an adult or even a trustworthy comrade.

She ignored the bruises on her body and mimicked her father. She stood at attention with a serious face and gave Yang Yi a standard Federation military salute.

"Alright, then let's execute the first order!"

Yang Yi said seriously, " stay here and wait for reinforcements. Have a good rest!

"Eh?"

Ding Lingdang, who had thought that she could fight side by side with the Hunter police and break out of the siege right now, immediately collapsed her round face.
