Armor: Shura appears at the beginning

Chapter 297 Abandoned Jersey

Dian Nan, who had seen through the whole situation, raised a scornful smile at the corner of his mouth and mocked Jersey, "How could you be forced into a state of powerlessness by a shadow guardian?"

Jersey panted and tried to defend himself: "He...his strength is indeed not to be underestimated."

Fang Zhong sneered even more when he heard this: "Strong? If that were true, how could he have escaped in such a hurry last time and been chased by us so miserably?"

"What you're doing is just like those losers in a team who try to cover up their own incompetence by praising their opponents." Fang Zhong's words pierced Jersey like a sword.

"I..." Jersey was so emotional that his blood was boiling. Finally, he could no longer control himself and spurted out another mouthful of blood, appearing even weaker.

Seeing this, Dian Nan waved his hand impatiently: "Enough, with your current physical condition, you are not worthy of being an Armored Warrior."

"If you stay in the team, you will only become a burden to us!" Dian Nan's words were merciless.

The others exchanged glances with each other, and without further ado, they had reached a tacit understanding. In this world of limited resources, one less person to share with would naturally make life easier for the remaining people.

"It seems that these shadow guardians can't wait to lure us into action." Fang Zhong suddenly changed the subject, a faint smile appeared on his face, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes.

The fact that they are so impatient just shows that their desire for Xiangyang has reached its extreme!

And this desire is the key to the success of Fang Zhong's plan. He was secretly happy, knowing that his plan was quietly approaching the edge of success.

......

Under Meizhen's unremitting search, she explored every inch of land meticulously according to the path carefully planned by Bei Miao.

Suddenly, a surge of excitement came over her, and she couldn't help but cheer loudly: "Got it, I found a clue!"

This sudden joy instantly attracted the attention of the people around. Xiaodie, Xiaosong and Beimiao gathered around Meizhen at the same time, curiosity and expectation flashing in their eyes.

Meizhen pointed excitedly at the device in her hand and explained, "This simple device has reacted to this area. It is very likely that this is where the dean left his handwriting."

"Can you make out what words are written?" Xiaosong asked eagerly, his eyes full of desire for an answer.

However, Meizhen shook her head slightly, with a hint of regret in her eyes.

She stared down at the detection device in her hand, with a bit of helplessness in her tone: "Due to time constraints, the equipment we prepared is relatively simple. Although it can capture the signal, to fully analyze this information, we still need the help of advanced equipment in the laboratory."

"In this case, we should not stay here any longer and should return to the base immediately." Bei Miao suggested in a steady and powerful voice.

Meizhen nodded slightly, quickly picked up the backpack beside her, and took out her cell phone out of it as usual.

The screen lit up, and a string of unread messages came into view. She couldn't help but frown: "Oh no, the energy alarm just triggered!"

This news made Xiaosong, Xiaodie and Beimiao around them look worried, and the atmosphere suddenly became solemn.

Bei Miao's tone was calm but revealed concern: "Is your automatic monitoring system still in operation?" He remembered very clearly that it was a system designed by Meizhen in order to compete with him. He did not expect it to come in handy at the critical moment.

"Yes, according to the settings, this alarm information should also be sent to Team Two at the same time." A trace of worry flashed in Meizhen's eyes.

Just as everyone was thinking, Meizhen's cell phone suddenly rang, interrupting everyone's thoughts. She quickly picked up the phone and put it close to her ear: "Hello, Jersey, what's going on?"

There seemed to be shocking news on the other end of the phone. Meizhen's face suddenly became extremely serious. She quickly responded: "I understand. I will rush back to deal with it immediately."

After Meizhen hung up the phone, her face was filled with anxiety. She turned to Xiaosong, Xiaodie and Beimiao and said hurriedly, "Zexi suffered a severe blow. He said that the power of the evil gold suddenly increased greatly."

"It seems that our previous worries were not unnecessary. The Shadow Protector has indeed recovered his strength." Bei Miao sighed in a deep voice, with a complex emotion flashing in his eyes. It seemed that he was helpless about the Shadow Protector's recovery of strength, and also regretful that everyone failed to be vigilant enough.

Meizhen nodded worriedly and added, "Jersey sounds very weak. The injury may be serious."

"Bei Miao, can you take me back? I need to treat him immediately and study the handwriting." Mei Zhen asked.

Bei Miao nodded in agreement without hesitation, and then led everyone to drive to the armor base. The scenery outside the car window passed by quickly, and a tense and heavy atmosphere filled the car.

When they arrived at the door of the hamburger shop, Meizhen got out of the car in a hurry, took a few steps and stopped, looking back at Xiaosong, Xiaodie and Beimiao in the car, as if hoping that they could go together. But Beimiao just sneered and rolled the window, indicating that they were unwilling to participate.

"We're not going either. Xiaodie and I don't know him." Xiaosong's voice came clearly from the car, with a hint of imperceptible indifference and alienation.

He and Xiaodie both learned about Team 2's recent actions through Bei Miao's narration, and an indescribable anger welled up in their hearts.

Meizhen shook her head helplessly, forced out a comforting smile, waved goodbye to them, then turned around resolutely and walked into the hamburger shop.

......

Meizhen quickly passed the identity verification and stepped into the underground laboratory in a hurry, her heart full of worry about Zexi's safety.

When she looked up at the screen in the treatment room, she saw Jersey lying there quietly, his chest heaving violently with his breathing, and the green healing light gently swept over his body, bringing a hint of life.

Meizhen immediately sat down in front of the operating table, her fingers jumping quickly on the keyboard, calling up Jersey's physical data. When those complicated numbers appeared before her eyes, her tense nerves finally relaxed a little.

Although Jersey's injuries were serious, they were not life-threatening. Compared to Xi Zhao's almost dying state, this was a blessing. As long as he received proper care in the treatment room, he would be able to recover in a few hours.

However, Meizhen's brows furrowed again, and her eyes fell on the data in the RT factor column.

The string of numbers was shocking - the concentration of RT factor in Jersey's body was extremely low, far below the standard required to summon armor. This discovery made her recall what happened to Xinnan and the others, and the feeling of powerlessness surged in her heart again.

She suddenly turned her head to look at the golden shadow stone floating in the air, only to see that it was now dim, as if it had lost its soul, in stark contrast to the other four light and shadow stones around it that were emitting a faint glow.

This is undoubtedly a cruel fact: the link between Golden Shadow Stone and Jersey has been completely broken!

"Jersey, what happened? Why are you so badly injured?" Meizhen stood next to the treatment room, her eyes full of concern and anxiety. She was eager to know what had happened.

Jersey slowly opened his eyes, revealing a hint of helplessness and bitterness. He shook his head slightly, his voice weak but firm: "I don't know why the Shadow Guardian suddenly became so powerful. I was caught off guard, and the result was..."

After hearing this, Meizhen frowned and sighed, "I have warned you long ago that the Shadow Guardians are not ordinary people. Their strength is far beyond our imagination. If you had not been seriously injured before, you would not be able to compete with them at all! But you just don't believe it, and now..."

Jersey smiled bitterly and interrupted Meizhen: "Yeah, who would have thought that all this was true. If we had taken it more seriously at the beginning, we wouldn't have ended up like this."

Meizhen looked at Jersey, her eyes full of mixed emotions. She took a deep breath and said slowly, "Jersey, besides all this, there is one more thing I must tell you. Your body...can no longer summon armor."

Jersey's face changed slightly when he heard this, but he quickly regained his composure. He asked softly, "Is it because the concentration of RT factor in my body is too low?"

Meizhen nodded, her tone heavy: "Yes, the concentration of RT factor in your body has become very low, and it can no longer support your transformation into an armored warrior."

Jersey smiled bitterly, as if he had expected this result. He shook his head helplessly and sighed, "It has come to this. I can only accept it."
