Head-turning (v1c38)
The memories of the mercenary Ah Mu were tainted by his personal admiration.
He saw she had put on an invincible halo.
The mercenary Lan Zhang sitting next to him sneered and revealed the truth without sparing his feelings. "Come on, who in the safe zone doesn't know that Erensu is indeed one of the top ten strongest people in the base, but she's crazy."
When Lan Zhang said the word crazy, he paused, and the smile on his face vanished.
He continued coldly, "She may have made great achievements in eradicating S-class polluted creatures, but she also killed many of her own comrades."
That's right, Erensu had gone mad and even turned on her own people.
She lived up to her code name, the God of Slaughter.
Very few of the mercenaries who went on missions with her came back alive.
"Eresnu didn't care who she killed when she went berserk. It's said that she even slaughtered her own brother, and no one dared to approach her."
"There was a base commander's daughter who hunted polluted creatures with her once. When she returned to the safe zone, she was already mentally broken. Her body was covered with wounds, not a patch of skin unscathed, and she died soon after... And that's just the tip of the iceberg, Ah Mu. The mercenaries who went on missions with Eresnu all met the same fate."
Lan Zhang didn't think Eresnu was a hero.
She was a maniac.
Sooner or later, she would fall into a trap of her own making.
But after Lan Zhang finished speaking, Ah Mu's face flushed and he retorted with great indignation. "You can't blame Lady Erensu for that. After all, who can guarantee that they'll come back alive after working hard in the wilderness?"
Because of the radiation from the doomsday poisonous mist, resources were dwindling fast. If everyone wanted to become stronger, they had to fight for it, not just play house.
That commander's daughter was too naive. Did she think she was a pampered lady everywhere?
If she wanted to add glorious achievements to her resume, she should have chosen her partner wisely. Lady Eresnu wouldn't bow to anyone.
Huh, she deserved to die.
As for the other mercenaries in the same group, very few of them survived...
The truth was that Lady Eresnu's ability was at least S level or higher. The level of the mercenaries who worked with her was too low. If they joined a mismatched battle, their chances of death were too high.
Ah Mu had seen Lady Eresnu in action with his own eyes. It was a large-scale hunting operation organized by base... It was simply unbelievable. She could easily rip off the claws of S-class polluted creatures with just her bare hands, and deal with them without using any weapons.
Who else could have such a formidable power?
Therefore, if they couldn't keep up with her pace, they would die easily.
Ah Mu, who was a fervent fan of Eresnu, believed that whatever his idol did was right, but Lan Zhang was not as blind as him. He knew the facts.
Eresnu not only liked to kill, but also to torture...
She enjoyed torture.
She was full of malice toward everyone.
But because her personal strength was too strong, she had participated in many special experiments at the base and could perfectly absorb and enhance herself with energy. She was a very powerful killing 'weapon'!
She could even take on terrifying polluted creatures that were way above her level.
That was why the base couldn't afford to give up on her, no matter how crazy she was.
They could only tolerate her and hope for the best.
But the experiments on absorbing and enhancing energy had made great progress, and he had heard that the base was planning something big soon.
Mercenaries like them would get to try it first, and maybe they could become as strong as Eresnu.
Then, no matter how powerful Eresnu was, she would become a 'dangerous material' and be subject to control.
That would be a great thing for the base's security.
While the two mercenaries were having a heated discussion, Ye Sheng listened quietly, feeling curious about the Eresnu they mentioned.
She could actually deal with S-class polluted creatures by herself.
She thought of the porcupine rat she had killed with a blow to the head. It was a weakling that couldn't even be ranked.
That showed how powerful S-class polluted creatures were.
And Eresnu had long pink hair, just like her Xiaodongxi.
(✪ω✪)
If she ever got a chance, Ye Sheng hoped to see her from a distance, so she could go home and brag to Xiaodongxi.
But meeting her up close? No, thanks.
She was afraid of death.
She didn't care if what the two mercenaries said was true or not, or if Eresnu was a lunatic or not. Just the fact that she was a strong woman made Ye Sheng keep her distance.
She was just a skinny little girl now. If she met a mercenary, she was afraid he would punch her without warning.
The weak had no rights.
Unless she became powerful too. She had a plan for that.
From what she could see, if she wanted to become stronger, the biggest thing she could rely on was the golden finger lucky draw, and the second was to train herself in various ways in the wilderness.
The former required energy stones to heal her wounds, so she could only feed the golden finger with leftovers and slowly accumulate lottery points.
The latter meant going to the wilderness more often and honing herself in danger.
In short, there was a long road ahead, and she had to work hard.
"Lan Zhang, don't always focus on Lady Eresnu's behavior. Just tell me whether she's strong or not."
"..."
"Hmph, you're speechless. People like us mercenaries have to be strong, so even if Lady Eresnu is really crazy, I don't think there's anything wrong with that."
Seeing that his friend was at a loss for words, Ah Mu puffed up his chest proudly.
But he didn't want to keep arguing with Lan Zhang over his idol, so he quickly changed the subject. "Lasy Eresnu wears a half-demon mask wherever she goes. It's said that even the Gu family members have never seen her true face. Do you know how beautiful Lady Eresnu is?"
"Haha, she must have the face of a monster, otherwise why would she cover it with a mask?"
"..."
This time, Ah Mu was speechless.
But soon, he retorted. "Impossible. The time I saw Lady Erensu, she had an amazing figure. Better than any woman I've ever seen. There's no way she has the face of a monster."
Ah Mu refused to believe that Eresnu was an ugly woman. As a goddess-level figure among the mercenaries, she had to be beautiful.
She was the most beautiful woman in the safe zone, he was sure of it.
Lan Zhang shook his head at his friend's stubbornness. He replied calmly, "There are plenty of women who are good at fighting but ugly as sin. How can you not know that Eresnu is one of them?"
Ye Sheng watched the two mercenaries argue with each other, holding back a smile. They were quite amusing.
They were ready to fight over a legendary figure, just like fan girls who clashed with their rivals.
But as Ye Sheng was enjoying the show, Ah Mu lost interest in his friend. He snorted and turned around, and then he noticed the black-haired girl sitting next to him.
She looked like she was having fun, and he found her cute. He decided to talk to her.
"Hey, kid, you've been listening all this time. What do you think of Lady Eresnu?"
Ye Sheng was startled when he addressed her, and her smile faded.
But seeing that the mercenary didn't mean to harm her, she plucked up some courage and asked him a question.
"Eresnu is a code name, right? So, what's her real name?"
