After destroying the evil statues of the Imperium, under the command of Chu Zhiyun, all the boys and girls dispersed to search for dangerous goods in the streets and alleys in all directions.
Of course, they were not searching aimlessly like headless flies. Instead, they were using special magical equipment, which could keenly capture the traces left by the intense brainwaves of human beings. If an item was surrounded by too many brainwaves of human beings, it was very likely to be dangerous and must be purified and destroyed mercilessly.
In no more than half a day, they had collected a lot of dangerous items in the stores and places that were similar to museums. Most of them were colorful and useless, as well as the propaganda materials and artworks of the Imperium. They were piled into a hill in a messy way.
None of these things had any value of recycling. Burning them to the ground was the best outcome. When the blazing fire soared into the sky, all the boys and girls seemed to be bathing in the pure and flawless holy light, singing the hymns of lambs and slaves.
The next task was more tricky.
Thangka and a few classmates found a small bookstore named "Bookstore", but the bookstore was full of jade slips filled with a lot of information.
The jade slips of the enemy were the things that Thangka hated the most because a small jade slip contained too much information. In the Holy League, for the lambs and slaves of the gods, ignorance was often the greatest happiness and loyalty. More information meant more thinking, which meant more danger and disloyalty.
Thinking was the right of the gods. Mortals like them should not think too much.
However, Thangka could not directly destroy all the jade slips. First of all, jade slips were one of the most solid and stable magical equipment. Whether it was the attack of shockwaves or the burning of flames, it was very difficult to completely destroy the information contained inside the jade slips. If it was picked up by an ignorant person, it could still lead to very serious consequences.
On the other hand, the Holy League also needed the information contained in the jade slips to study the situation inside the Imperium. They needed to study the politics, economy, culture, astronomy, geography, military, and a series of information about the "devil country on earth" that was controlled by the extraterrestrial devils.
In intelligence operations, 99% of the information was obtained through public channels. These imperial jade slips on the shelves were one of the most important sources of information for the Holy League.
What's more, most of the jade slips could still be recycled after the information in them was erased. For the Holy League, which was extremely short of resources, it was not allowed to casually waste the spoils of war.
Thangka could only frown and resist the temptation of the Extraterrestrial Demon. She scanned the jade slips one by one. Even if she could not scan all the jade slips in detail, at least she had to take one out of each category and skim through it.
While Thangka was concentrating on identifying the dangerous information from the Imperium, her wrist crystal processor trembled slightly.
It was the class leader calling out to him.
Holy Light Academy implemented a quasi-military management. Students like them, who were about to graduate, were quasi-purified troops. The class monitor was their immediate superior, so they couldn't shirk or refuse.
Thangka immediately put down her work and rushed towards the coordinates given by the class leader.
The class leader was some distance away from the rest of the team. She had already entered a four-story building in the downtown area.
Although there were traces of incendiary bombs in the southeast corner of the building, the main structure was still intact. Even the gorgeously dressed advertisement girls on the outer wall were vivid and lifelike. However, as Thangka walked closer and closer, and when her perspective changed, the actions of the advertisement girls changed as well. They hooked their fingers and coquettishly at Thangka.
"Demoness, Succubus, how shameless!"
Thangka sniffed and strode into the building called "supermarket".
According to the standards of the Imperium of True Human Beings, this was really not a supermarket of a very large scale. After all, this was the frontline of colonization. The goods here were definitely not as dazzling as those in the capital city of the four families.
However, for the young men of the Covenant Alliance who had been used to the days of asceticism, the shock and excitement that they felt when they stepped into a "supermarket" for the first time and saw all the products that were sold to them, most of which had the most delicate packaging and confusing advertising slogans, could not be described with words at all even after half a month of war.
This was the first time in Thangka's life that she had seen a real supermarket.
In the past, she had only seen such a place in the simulation training in the classroom. And no matter how shocking the simulation training was, seeing it with her own eyes was a hundred times more shocking.
"So many precious resources were actually used to make these useless things, and they were even displayed on the open shelves, greatly stimulating the greed of human beings.
"Sin! Sin! How greedy! How wasteful! How sinful! How sinful!
"No wonder many mentors said that places such as' supermarkets' were the amplifiers of human beings' desires and the source of evil. Even I couldn't help but feel restless the moment I walked into this place!
"Are the people of the Imperium idiots? They are at war with the Holy League, and yet they are wasting tremendous resources to make so many useless things and even shipping them to the frontline at the cost of tremendous fuel. Their brains have truly been corrupted by extraterrestrial devils. They have completely lost their minds!"
Thangka looked at the rows of shelves warily, as if the goods on the shelves were hibernating extraterrestrial devils that would show their most hideous face and bite his throat at any moment.
"Hey, what are you waiting for? Come and purge this place with me."
A voice that was both familiar and strange came over from the front. It was still as casual and cold as ever, mixed with an irresistible command.
It was his monitor, Chu Zhiyun.
Or rather, it was the person — the woman — who had been riding on his neck since he was a little girl.
Thangka had known Chu Zhiyun since she was born.
It was said that when they were just sent to the nursery after leaving their gene providers, Chu Zhiyun was lying in the swaddling clothes on his left side, and the two of them rolled up and down on the conveyor belt together.
As she grew older, Chu Zhiyun showed the aggressive side of her personality. The gene providers on both sides of her parents were excellent commanders. She absorbed the essence of both sides and became a natural-born leader. Thangka, on the other hand, was more used to being led by other people and doing the work that was more direct and did not need to deal with other people.
As a result, Chu Zhiyun became Thangka's first and perhaps only commander in her life, and Thangka became Chu Zhiyun's first but certainly not the last soldier.
From the nursery, to the Ascetic Youth Monastery, and then to the Holy Light Academy, the two of them were always inseparable, just like an arm and its fingers.
Their relationship was not very deep — after all, people in the Holy League did not care about feelings, and Chu Zhiyun had always been the most standard and excellent person in the Holy League. At least, Thangka had never seen a trace of emotional ripples in Chu Zhiyun's eyes. She was a cold machine, always and forever.
However, Thangka would occasionally let his imagination run wild. Chu Zhiyun had probably long been used to his existence and used to commanding him like shaking fingers, just as he had long been used to being commanded by Chu Zhiyun.
He originally thought that this relationship of commanding and being commanded could be maintained for a long time, and he would always be the commander's soldier.
But since a year ago, things had gradually changed.
Chu Zhiyun had developed.
Girls developed earlier than boys, and Chu Zhiyun had the genes of being tall, plump, and fit. At the age of thirteen, she quickly swelled up like a balloon. Thangka could even hear her hands and feet growing like peeled bamboo shoots. Every day, there would be a strange smell on her body, but no matter what kind of smell it was, it was very pleasant.
In a year's time, Chu Zhiyun was already a head taller than Thangka. When the two stood face to face, Thangka just happened to be facing her bulging chest. This change made Thangka feel at a loss, and he increasingly did not dare to look directly into Chu Zhiyun's eyes. This was because every time he looked at Chu Zhiyun, he always felt that the other party was like a soft mountain falling down on him, and he was going to be suffocated in the valley, or he was going to fall into the undulating waves of the ocean and drown alive.
"Classmate Thangka, what are you doing?"
Chu Zhiyun's voice was still as cold and hard as ice. If others heard it, they would probably feel a chill from the back of their head all the way to their tailbone. However, Thangka had long been used to it, and he responded while turning around.
Just as he turned around, his breathing stopped again.
Chu Zhiyun had already taken off her gas mask, revealing her frosty but delicate face. She was really too tall and fit. When she wore the largest size of the student's anti-epidemic suit, it looked like a tight suit that would burst at any moment. It set off all the organs on her body that were completely different from Thangka's. The glittering merchandise around her reflected a beautiful glow on her body, making her look even more …
"Kill the devil in my heart! Kill the devil in my heart! "
Thangka gritted his teeth and dragged his mechanical steps toward his class monitor cum commander step by step in pain.
His eyes kept darting around. He clearly did not want to look, but he did not know where to look. When he walked in front of Chu Zhiyun, he realized that something was wrong. Chu Zhiyun had a long and thin white stick in her mouth, and she was chewing on something.
"What is this?"
Thangka did not remember that there was such a strange thing among the supplies they carried.
"Don't move, open your mouth."
