Genshin Impact: Legend of the Emperor
Chapter 174: One Day in Mello Petersburg
Hello everyone, this man sleeping on the bed is called 9527. He is a member of the Fontaine Defense Force in Mello Petersburg.
As an ordinary Fontaine man, he lived an ordinary and normal life.
He has a harmonious family and healthy parents. Except for the fact that he has never had a girlfriend, his life is almost perfect.
A year ago, after returning from studying in Xumi, he had been busy looking for a suitable job. Unfortunately, although he was known as a talented graduate of the Academy of Teachings, he could not find a corresponding major in Fontaine because his major was the study of the ancient language of the Red King.
Every time this happened, 9527 would sigh, wishing he had stayed in Xumi.
If he could continue his studies, maybe he could become a tutor in the Academy of Teachings, live an easy and well-paid retirement life, and assign tasks to students.
Later, an undead crisis broke out in Fontaine, causing the entire Fontaine economy to go downhill and prices to rise. In order to make money, 9527 planned to sell Lanaro toys, but he happened to meet the Fontaine Defense Force recruiting people.
9527 signed up without thinking twice. In addition to wanting to protect his motherland Fontainebleau, he also saw that the resettlement fee was so high.
Although Mellow Petersburg is dangerous, the defense forces are paid well.
However, the defense force of Mellow Petersburg does not accept everyone. 9527 roughly estimated that only one in ten people who registered would be selected, and he happened to be one of the one in ten selected.
There are three criteria for recruiting in the defense forces of Mello Petersburg. The first one is a clean family background. To explain, they are worried that other forces may plant spies in the defense forces, so they are particularly strict when checking the background.
And 9527 is a real Fontainebleau person, and his ancestors have been real Fontainebleau people for generations.
Although it is possible that someone may have impersonated him during his study abroad, he has been back to Fontaine for a year and still stays at home all day without doing anything. If he was a spy, his parents would have discovered it long ago.
Moreover, 9527 returned to Fontaine a year ago, while the undead creatures only appeared recently, so the timing does not match at all.
If there was a force that predicted the crisis in Fontaine in advance and sent 9527 to Fontaine a year in advance, the background prosecutors would have accepted it if they had been able to do so.
The second admission criterion is good health and no defects.
This one is understandable. After all, the defense force is going to fight the undead creatures, not to play house, so they naturally need to have a healthy body.
Although 9527 stayed at home for the entire year, he also exercised regularly and his physical fitness was outstanding among his peers.
The third day of the recruitment criteria is to have a skill, but I don’t know if the ability to sing, draw and dance can be considered a skill. Logically, shouldn’t we recruit people who are good at fighting, such as accurate archery and those who can repair guns?
9527 As a graduate of Xumi College, if the major you studied was not too unpopular in Fontaine, you would be in great demand everywhere. It is impossible to find a job.
Although he didn't know what use his mastery of the ancient Red King's characters would be in Melo Petersburg, 9527 was still very happy to be chosen to become a member of the defense force.
9527 guessed that maybe the commander of the defense force asked him to use the ancient Red King characters to write the code.
Jingle Bell! ! !
9527 opened his eyes, quickly put on his clothes, took the washbasin and started washing.
Although life in Melo Petersburg was a bit hard, it was still bearable. It was just that the daily training was too torturous. 9527 couldn't believe that he had actually persisted.
Unconsciously, 9527 has grown from a confused new recruit to a seasoned veteran.
Thinking back to when I first arrived at Melo Petersburg, the undead creatures were running around everywhere. It was only because the Supreme Inquisitor, Lord Villette, had surrounded the entire Melo Petersburg with water elements that the undead creatures were unable to escape.
9527, who was still a new recruit at the time, was photographed in Melo Petersburg. When he saw the zombies for the first time, he was so disgusted that he vomited all his breakfast and couldn't eat for several days.
In the end, it was his former Shadow Hunter teammates who forced food into his mouth, saving him from starvation.
When 9527 asked his teammates why they were not afraid of zombies that looked so scary, his teammates replied pretentiously: "We're used to it."
Now 9527 knew that his teammate had also vomited, but he was just holding it together to show off in front of him.
Although the undead creatures in Mello Petersburg are very dangerous, fortunately there are mechanical guards in the front to hold them back. They only need to deal with some lucky ones who were missed by the mechanical guards.
The most dangerous time was when the mechanical guard in front of them suddenly collapsed due to ultra-high-intensity operation, and 9527 and his teammates had to face a large number of zombies.
The hideous-looking zombies were horrible monsters without any sense of pain or fear. If they were scratched, they would be infected and turned into monsters as ugly as them. 9527 could only desperately shoot with the rifle in his hand.
The rifle had run out of bullets, so 9527 took out his knife and started slashing around randomly.
Fortunately, Lady Funina and reinforcements arrived in time and he was able to save his life.
Sacrifice on the battlefield is a common thing. 9527 originally thought that he had accepted the sacrifice of his teammates. Every warrior who died in the battle with the undead creatures here is a hero of Fontaine.
But when the teammate who was scratched by the zombie smiled and raised the rifle in his hand, wanting to commit suicide, 9527 still held back and stepped forward to grab the trembling hand.
It was just a wound the size of a fingernail. In the eyes of those mercenaries in the Sumeru Desert, it was a small wound that could be healed by spitting. How could it be hopeless?
9527 decided to give this injured teammate a final farewell.
He and his teammate were locked in a room with an iron fence between them.
9527 holds a rifle in his hand, and when his teammate can't hold on any longer, he will use the bullets in the gun to help his respectable teammate.
Actually, 9527 and this teammate were not very familiar with each other. They would just chat for a few minutes to kill time when they were eating in the cafeteria. They would complain about the food in the cafeteria together, secretly curse the strict instructor together, and feel sad for the sacrifice of their teammates together.
In this small house, 9527 talked a lot with this strange teammate, talking about family, dreams, and the future...
9527 learned that this teammate was born in a small town in Hailugang. His father was a small businessman and his mother was very gentle. The family lived an ordinary life.
But he yearned for the outside world and didn't want to stay in this small village.
He wanted to be an adventurer, to explore this dangerous secret place, and then return with his friends with a full load, drinking, singing and dancing around the campfire.
Because of the appearance of the undead creatures, the business of the teammate's father was affected, and a batch of goods was left in his hands. In order to fill the deficit at home, the teammate decided to join the Fontaine Defense Force.
He said: "With this resettlement allowance, my father's business may be able to pick up."
Although the family needed the money very much at that time, his parents did not want him to go to such a dangerous place, but they could not persuade him.
His teammates said that he had always kept a secret in his heart. In fact, the main reason for joining the Defense Force was not the resettlement fee, but the desire to break away from the constraints of his parents and realize his dream of becoming an adventurer.
The teammates hoped that after destroying the undead creatures, they would go home to see their parents and then become a great adventurer.
As they talked, the two fell into silence. 9527 tried to call out to his teammates, but they never responded.
9527 kept shouting and didn't give up. He clearly saw the glimmer of humanity in his teammates' eyes.
The teammate who was annoyed by 9527's noise asked angrily: "Since there is no hope, what's the point of continuing to persevere!"
"Let me die"
The teammate said the last sentence very quietly, but 9527 still heard it.
Who wouldn't be afraid of death, not to mention that the teammates want to go back to see their parents and want to become a great adventurer.
9527: "Hold on a little longer, maybe a miracle will happen."
"Pray to the water goddess, Lady Fernina,"
9527 and his teammates all knew that Lady Funina had no way to deal with the infectiousness of these undead creatures, but Funina had been trying hard to save Fontaine from the threat of the undead creatures.
The people of Fontaine have witnessed the efforts that Funinna has made for Fontaine over the past 500 years.
The room fell silent again.
At some point, the teammate who was scratched began to cough violently and his body couldn't stop shaking.
9527 knew that this was a sign that his teammate was about to turn into an undead creature. Within an hour, this unfortunate teammate would turn into an ugly and terrifying zombie.
Even Sigwen, the best doctor in Mellow Petersburg, could not save him.
9527's eyes became determined, and he raised the rifle in his hand, intending to send his teammate off for the last time, allowing him to leave this world as a human being.
9527's hands couldn't stop shaking, and the finger on the trigger seemed to weigh a thousand pounds.
Fortunately, at the last moment, when 9527 was about to pull the trigger, cheers were heard outside the door of the room and the door of the confinement room was opened.
The glaring light made 9527 unable to open his eyes. He tried hard to figure out what was going on.
Because of the stimulation of the light, 9527's tears couldn't stop flowing down.
He only heard one sentence.
"It's saved!"
"It's saved!"
"Haha, finally - there's salvation!!!"
Thanks to Lu Ming's timely arrival and the method of curing zombie infection, the teammates of 9527 were finally rescued.
To this day, 9527 still can't forget that day when, in the dark and small confinement room, when his teammates were waiting to die in despair, a ray of light shone in.
After washing up, 9527 looked at the man with a silly smile in the mirror and gave him a thumbs up.
9527 picked up a flowerpot from the bedside. A sunflower in the flowerpot was having a sweet dream.
Looking at the cute sunflower, 9527 couldn't help but pinch its face.
"Kui Kui, wake up."
As a soldier in Mellow Petersburg, 9527 and his comrades were assigned a plant warrior seed in advance. After 9527's careful care, a brilliant sunflower broke out of the ground.
9527 gave this little comrade a name: Kuikui.
In the deep water of Melo Petersburg, Kui Kui was like the sun that dispelled the haze in the hearts of 9527 and others.
