Chapter 190 Chen Duo in Her Growth Stage
Just then, Wang Zhenqiu, who was behind Zhang Chulan, suddenly put his arms around his shoulders and pouted, saying, "It's very impolite to interfere with a girl's dressing."
Wang Zhenqiu, having released his grip, lightly jumped to Chen Duo's side, circled around her, and said with a smile, "I think Miss Chen Duo's clothes are quite nice, why bother changing them?"
“That’s right, that’s right,” Chen Duo nodded her little head in agreement.
Zhang Chulan looked at Wang Zhenqiu, who was stirring up trouble, raised his hand, and hesitated to speak.
In a corner, among the Black Pipe Squad members who were inspecting weapons and ammunition, one of the members gasped as he watched Zhang Chulan and Wang Zhenqiu bickering in the warehouse.
"Boss, I've heard that temporary workers are pretty easygoing, but isn't this a bit too easygoing? Are they really reliable? How about the rest of us go?"
Hei Guan scratched his head; he hadn't expected Chen Duo to come dressed like that. Then...
They're on a mission, so they should at least wear combat uniforms, right?
In the previous videos and the competition at Luo Tian Da Jiao, Chen Duo left a deep impression on him - she was calm and efficient in her work, and was a promising talent in their line of work.
How come you've turned into a young girl after not seeing me for a while?
Black Pipe hissed and comforted him, "They should be reliable, right? Trust them. After all, they're a special operations team, and they're all very strong superhumans."
If it's a regular mission and there aren't many supernatural beings involved, Black Pipe can simply lead his team on a solo mission.
But their current mission is to go to Nathan Island, where they will most likely encounter many superhumans, and his team may not be able to handle them.
Unlike him, his teammates, though all of them were superhumans, were not considered powerful superhumans; they had only trained for a period of time when they were young.
Those with genuine talent for cultivating Qi will not join the army, or rather, it is very difficult for powerful individuals to emerge from the army.
Even if a talented person joins the army, military training will leave them no time to practice Qi.
Black Pipe only had time to practice Qi because he left the army early, while the other four members of his squad are not practicing Qi now, but are superhumans who have awakened their abilities by taking Awakening Pills.
Their squad's overall combat strength was actually not strong, which is why Zhao Fangxu allowed them to carry firearms.
Without the help of Zhang Chulan and other superhumans, the Black Pipe Squad alone would definitely not be able to deal with those superhumans with their bizarre abilities.
Not wanting to dwell on clothing anymore, Zhang Chulan suddenly remembered a question, took a step back, and quickly asked Chen Duo.
"Hey, Chen Duo! Where's your protective suit? I remember your skin automatically oozes out poison, doesn't it?"
Only then did everyone realize that the protective suit that Chen Duo had been wearing to isolate the Gu poison was gone!
"I took the Awakening Pill, and my Gu poison disappeared along with my Qi."
"What! Your Qi has disappeared!" Zhang Chulan exclaimed in surprise.
Chen Duo frowned: "Why are you shouting so loudly?"
No wonder Zhang Chulan was shouting. This mission might involve fighting against superhumans from other countries, but Chen Duo's Qi has disappeared. How can she participate in the battle? Does Chen Duo still have any fighting power?
"No... I'm just worried about your combat ability. Can you still participate in this mission?" Zhang Chulan asked somewhat anxiously.
Just then, a voice came from behind Chen Duo: "Don't worry, Chen Duo is capable of fighting, there's nothing to worry about."
Chen Junyan followed behind Chen Duo and explained to Zhang Chulan.
“My name is Chen Junyan, and I’m also from South China. I’m Chen Duo’s teammate. After Chen Duo took the Awakening Pill, although her Qi repelled the awakened superpower, her Qi was also transformed into the cultivation level of the superpower.”
Seeing Zhang Chulan's confusion, Chen Junyan offered a simpler explanation.
"Just like changing a character's class in a game, although Chen Duo's class has changed, her previous level has not been reset. Chen Duo has essentially changed from a Qi cultivator to a superhuman."
Zhang Chulan nodded thoughtfully; he could roughly understand Chen Junyan's words. Looking at the lively Chen Duo before him, so different from the lifeless Chen Duo in his memory, he immediately understood why she had chosen to give up the path of cultivating Qi.
After all, Chen Duo didn't choose to embark on the path of Qi cultivation voluntarily. Given the choice, it's understandable that she chose to give it up.
At this moment, Chen Duo's eyes were filled with curiosity about the world.
Although she is around twenty years old, her actual mental age is not that old.
It had only been a short time since she had officially opened her mind to the world.
For this mission, two people came from South China: Chen Duo and Chen Junyan, while only Lao Meng came from Northwest China.
After greeting Zhang Chulan, Chen Duo began wandering around the warehouse, eventually strolling directly to Hei Guan, who was inspecting weapons and ammunition.
"Is this a gun? Can I take a look?"
Upon seeing this, Chen Junyan, who was talking to Zhang Chulan, immediately abandoned Zhang Chulan and ran anxiously towards Chen Duo: "You can't touch that, Chen Duo!"
Chen Junyan, who had come to Chen Duo's side, glanced at the weapons and ammunition in front of the Black Pipe Squad with some concern.
He had always opposed Chen Duo's participation in this mission, believing that she was not suited for such dangerous work. It wasn't that Chen Duo's abilities had weakened; in fact, her combat strength hadn't noticeably decreased, and her physical attributes had even increased significantly due to the Awakening Pill!
In certain situations, Chen Duo is actually stronger now than she was before.
But Chen Duo's mindset is different now. The previous Chen Duo was cold and ruthless, able to complete any task cleanly and efficiently; back then, she was indeed an excellent killing weapon.
But nowadays, Chen Duo's thoughts and emotions have become more sensitive. She has finally started to have normal human emotions. She is now like a child who is growing up.
If she were still allowed to carry out such a killing mission, it might have a negative impact on Chen Duo's future personality.
Liao Zhong originally planned to send someone else, but after Chen Duo learned about the mission, she volunteered to participate herself!
Having no other choice, Liao Zhong could only send Chen Junyan over as well, so that he could take care of and keep an eye on Chen Duo.
Nowadays, Chen Duo has become very playful and wants to try everything she sees, just like she wants to try out guns now.
Chen Junyan always felt that Chen Duo came because she thought the mission was fun.
