I, holding a long sword in my hand, only know one move

"Why are you using explosives in the forest? This is a 40mm howitzer."

Maybe it was because of this thing that Rentaro and the others were chased by Stage 4 and almost died. When operating in unexplored areas, it is an iron rule not to make any noise under any circumstances. What's more, the starters are ranked far above Rentaro's combination. I don't know how that makes sense.

Xia Shi hugged his slender knees and stared at the dancing flames for a while.

"Mr. General and I fell into a trap, so not only were we injured, but we are now in separate operations."

"trap?"

"Yes, our landing place was also in the deep forest. But after walking for a while, we saw a brief flash of light coming from the depths of the forest. We thought it was our companion, so we approached it."

"It turned out to be a gasterozoa..."

"The first thing I felt was the rancid smell, and I saw a large number of flies gathering there. The gastrea was covered with creepy flowers, and its tail was still glowing. As soon as it saw Wuming, it made a chilling sound trembling, showing an emotion akin to joy.”

"I have seen many kinds of gasterozoans, but that one made my feet tremble. I thought I would be killed, so I immediately used the grenade. While being chased by the gasterozoans that heard the sound, Mr. Jiang Jian is lost."

Rentaro stared at the bandaged wound on the girl's arm.

"Were you injected with bodily fluids by a gastrula?"

"It's just a very small amount of contact, so the erosion rate doesn't go up, and you don't have to worry about me suddenly turning into a gasterozoa."

"But even so, you have to undergo a thorough examination after you return."

Xia Shi's eyes widened slightly.

"Are you worried about me?"

"is it not OK?"

"..." After a short pause, Xia Shi hugged his knees again, shrinking in size.

"I'm a little envious of Enju-san for having a promoter who cares about her like Mr. Satomi."

Rentaro asked as nonchalantly as possible: "Are you happy with a promoter like Ikuma Shoin?"

"The Initiator is a tool for killing, and there is nothing we can do about it."

Natsushi didn't answer Rentaro's question.

"Miss Yanzhu has probably never killed anyone. You can tell by looking at her eyes."

"Yes, have you killed?"

"Well, I also killed the group I met on the way here."

Listening to the girl's calm tone, Rentaro blinked and thought for a moment that he had heard wrong.

"Why do you do that..."

"That is Mr. General's order. In fact, if the other party is attracted by the light emitted by the gastrea, he will wait for the opportunity to do the same thing. This seems to be what Mr. General said, no. Give credit for killing the crazy masked bastard to anyone but us.”

Rentaro clenched his fists.

"You killed someone and you didn't feel anything?"

"...I'm scared and my hands are shaking. But that's all. This is the second time. I think I'll get used to it soon."

There was an indifferent coolness in the girl's empty black eyes.

Rentaro's anger surged up, and he grabbed Natsu Shi's wrist.

"What a joke. The scariest thing about killing people is getting used to killing people. When a person kills someone and knows that he will not be punished, people will gradually forget their guilt! I hope you can always remember that these hands have Stained with blood that is not your own.”

"Is it because you have killed someone before that you can say something like this? Mr. Satomi's pupils are really strange. It seems that you have a complicated past. Your pupils are very gentle, but very scary... "

"...I said, my Yanju speaks in an arrogant tone when asked why. Do you know? That's because she thinks that she is engaged in a great job of protecting human beings, so she can stand up and be arrogant. Talk. Very simple, right? Once upon a time, Yanzhu almost killed a criminal who was a promoter. During the operation, Yanzhu was depressed, but when he learned that the other person was saved, he was happy for the whole day, and even went to visit him. I think so That’s it.”

"Mr. Satomi, those are beautiful words."

Natsuyo looked up at Rentaro with a pair of incredible eyes. Under the light of the bonfire, orange flames danced in her pupils.

Rentaro slowly stood up and turned his back to her.

"I'm sorry, look at what nonsense I'm saying from the moral high ground. Damn it... forget what I just said. I'm sorry."

"Why are you apologizing?"

"Um?"

"Why are you apologizing?" Natsuyo grabbed the hem of Rentaro's clothes, "Mr. Satomi is right. You are right. Please have more confidence in yourself. I am very strange now... I I’m not quite sure how I feel, and I can immediately come up with dozens of reasons to refute you, but I don’t want to deny what you said to me.”

Xia Shi lowered his head and seemed to be recalling and thinking, and finally said slowly: "This is the first time I have experienced this feeling."

——————————————————————————

At that moment, a male's rough voice came out from the black earphone-like thing placed next to Xia Shi, accompanied by noise, startling the two of them.

It looked like it was a radio. Xia Shi flew towards it and turned something similar to a knob. The sound gradually became distinct, and soon it turned into a man's voice that he could never forget.

"Hey! Call me if you're still alive!"

Natsushi winked, probably telling Rentaro to be quiet, and Rentaro nodded in understanding.

"I'm worried about not being able to contact you. It's great that you're okay, Mr. General."

"Needless to say! Xia Shi, I have better news than that!"

Ikuma showed off his pretense, and Rentaro could imagine him snickering on the other end of the radio.

"We found the masked bastard, but the guy who paid 230,000 yuan doesn't seem to be here. He must have been eaten by the gastrea animals here, hahaha!"

How could it be possible? Rentaro was not surprised that Cheng Rang could kill all the gastrea animals here alone. He and Xia Shi looked at each other.

"Where?"

Rentaro took out the map from his pocket and spread it on the ground, and immediately found the location mentioned by the warden. It's the original urban area by the sea, very close to here.

"Now the nearby police officers have gathered together and are preparing to attack them. I originally wanted to get ahead of them, but the opponent's ranking is higher than ours anyway, and the key starter is not there either. All the time. The tangled issue of credit has just been settled. They said they wanted to divide it equally and peacefully, which is really boring! You should come over and join us."

The general hung up the radio without hearing Xia Shi's answer. There were indeed harsh sounds and laughter coming from behind the general. What he said about an attack plan being underway is most likely true.

Xia Shi immediately folded his luggage and started to put out the bonfire.

"You really want to go?"

"Yes, despite his virtues, he is still my partner. What about you, Mr. Satomi?"

Rentaro couldn't decide how he felt. Since there are other police officers going to deal with it, Rentaro also wants to rely on them. Before leaving, Ki Geng threw himself into his arms and prayed that he would not die. When facing Hiroko Yingyin and Cheng Rang, Rentaro could not forget the almost irresistible feeling of death.

He shook his head slightly. No... I have to go up myself.

Although Cheng Rang and Zhizi Yingyin didn't know why they chose to act separately, this was undoubtedly the best opportunity to defeat them one by one. What's more, there were many powerful police combinations there. As long as one of the two was defeated, at least they would be defeated. Can save a lot of effort.

Rentaro suppressed his personal emotions for the time being and analyzed the strategy calmly.

The question now is how many people join forces with the general. Although the ranking was unknown, the noise behind him felt like it was more than just one or two groups of people. At least nearly ten groups of people gathered together.

It is possible to fight without the assistance of a starter, and Shogun Ikuma, whose IP ranking is 1584, is also among them.

Whether Yingyin wins or the police team wins, it will definitely be a fierce battle.

"How's your hand?"

Xia Shi silently took off the bandage, and the wound was completely healed.

Rentaro looked towards the city.

All in all, I must witness the result of this battle with my own eyes!

"We'll be with you and we'll leave later."

Chapter 86: Living towards death

Four o'clock in the morning.

Rentaro called Yanzhu back, and the three of them left the bunker together.

Yanzhu, who has been watching outside for a long time, is far more capable than Rentaro, who is comfortably warming in front of the campfire, so Rentaro decided to let her go ahead.

After walking for a while, the forest was interrupted, and the group came to a plain area with a wide view. If you follow the road from here, you can re-enter the city by walking a few kilometers, but Rentaro deliberately took a detour towards a small hill.

There is no hiding place in the direct distance from here to the city. Rentaro judged that one should be cautious in this situation.

As the steps moved forward, the nostrils were filled with the smell of moisture. The sea is very close to here.

On the way, they found traces of camping in a place surrounded by wild grass.

Perhaps because they were worried about the smoke, there were no signs of cooking, but bags carrying food were scattered all over the place. There are more of them than imagined.

Rentaro began to feel impatient. Since it was a premeditated sneak attack, it was basic to carry out the attack day and night. It would be dawn in two hours. When they leave here, it can be concluded that the battle has begun.

Take a detour up a hill that may overlook the city. It was an eerily quiet city right now.

Countless fishing boats and small boats are anchored in the crescent-shaped harbor.

This small city may have been troubled by its small population before the war. Rentaro thought there would be no light, but there was only one light in a church-like building. Is that there?

Suddenly there was a gunshot, causing Rentaro to take a breath. Then, starting with this shot, gunshots and swords and halberds sounded like firecrackers one after another.

The battle has begun!

"Rentaro!" Yenzhu shouted.

"We're coming too."

"I'm staying."

Rentaro turned around suddenly and saw Natsu Shi with his back to this side.

"Why?"

Just before he finished speaking, a four-legged beast rushed towards Rentaro and the others like flying cannonballs.

Xia Shi's eyes lit up with scarlet light, and the liberating power collided head-on with the thing, suppressing the opponent's advance.

Rentaro was startled. What came out was a deer-shaped gastrea, with the skin on its upper body covered with broken and protruding sharp horns.

Natsushi was pierced by several horns, but he still forced the shotgun into the mouth of the crazed gastrea and pulled the trigger.

The explosive sound of gunfire blew half of the gastrea's head away, and blood burst out in a radiating pattern, soaking half of Xia Shi's body, giving the girl a scarlet sadness.

Although Xia Shi was bleeding from the abdomen, he still turned around as if nothing had happened.

"It seems we are being followed. Also, Mr. Satomi, didn't you see? If no one stops them here, our army will be annihilated regardless of victory or defeat."

As if in response to Xia Shi's words, low chirps and roars came from the forest that the group of people had just walked out of. The gastrea, awakened by gunshots coming from the city, are exchanging information with their companions using various frequency bands.

Xia Shi extremely calmly placed the fully automatic shotgun on the ground, put down his backpack, and poured out all the prepared magazines.

She was clearly preparing for a full-scale fight. While she was doing this, her pierced wrists and abdomen were constantly regenerating.

"Is it okay for you to be alone?"

Xia Shi picked up the shotgun again.

"Someone must stay, and that person will be me. I will go over to support you after this is done. Please help me."

Rentaro closed his eyes and took a deep breath: "Okay, but be sure not to force it!"

"Don't worry, I will run away if I'm at a disadvantage. I'll leave it to you, Mr. General."

Rentaro believed that the girl in front of him with an IQ twice as high as his would not do anything stupid, so he nodded vigorously.

"I understand, let's go, Yanzhu!"

The footsteps of the two people quickly disappeared behind them, and Xia Shi's eyes penetrated the scope of the gun in his hand and shot straight to the scarlet of the same color in the forest.

The entire forest area had completely woken up, and there was no need to consider concealment again. The girl immediately loaded the grenade hung on the muzzle of the gun.

Boom!

The muffled sound of a deadly collection of gunpowder being thrown fell through the air into the darkness, and then a dazzling fireball bloomed an instant later.

A pair of hundred...

With a bang and a violent explosion, this blocking battle with unequal numbers on both sides completely started!

Roars that were almost like a tidal wave came from all directions. Without the cover of the forest, the number of gastrea in front of her was illuminated by the fire. In the next second, Xia Shi felt a despair that chilled her heart.

There are at least hundreds of them...the highest among them even has stage four.

The estimation of the combat strength of both sides was very concise and clear. When facing the charge of the gastrea swarm that seemed to be able to crush everything, Xia Shi had already fully understood that he would not be able to leave alive.
