Start with a core cabin

Chapter 1503 Shelter (Only by eating more and sleeping more can you replenish your body)

The earth is shattered.

When Duanmu Huai landed his fighter plane, what they saw was a devastated city.

It was clear that the city had been attacked by a swarm of insects.

And it seems that the situation is very bad. Just from the flames, gunshots and explosions in the city, it can be heard that the war is far from over.

"Thank you for your help."

The girl who walked out of the cabin had regained her armored look, which disappointed Alicia. Not only because the armor obscured the silver-haired girl's lovely face, but also because her originally brisk and pleasant voice sounded low and metallic under the armor, like a man's voice.

If everyone had not seen the girl among them, they would probably have just thought of him as a man.

"I have to go back to the team to report the battle situation and continue to participate in the battle."

"Hey? Are you leaving now?"

"Yes."

The girl nodded.

"According to Article 8 of Grammer's Military Code, the surviving knights must return to the team on their own initiative. So, I wish you all a safe journey."

After saying this, everyone saw the armor leap up and quickly disappear into the horizon.

"Why……………"

Reluctantly withdrawing her gaze, Alicia couldn't help but sigh.

“I hope to communicate with her more.”

"I think half of the reason she ran so fast might be because of you."

Duanmu Huai complained speechlessly on the side.

"If you didn't want to pounce on a girl every time you saw her, you wouldn't be like this. Can't you hold yourself back a little?"

"Pretty and lovely girls are the greatest treasures in this world. What's wrong with wanting to appreciate them?"

"Then go and look at it yourself. Find a mirror and look at it slowly. No one will care how long you look at it."

"So Mr. Grand Inquisitor, you also think I'm beautiful and cute?"

"hehe………"

Faced with Ai Lixia's narcissistic inquiry, Duanmu Huai sneered and did not answer.

So what if you are pretty and cute? You are not my woman, it’s of no use.

"Master, what should we do now?"

Duanmu Huai didn't say anything, but Mu Geng couldn't stand the "flirting" between him and Alicia, so she rushed over and hugged Duanmu Huai's arm, and then asked. At the same time, she didn't forget to roll her eyes at Alicia, and the latter waved her hand at Mu Geng happily - well, for Alicia, cute girls are pleasing to the eye no matter what they do.

This made Mu Geng even more unhappy.

"Well...anyway, let's go check out the situation first."

As the Grand Inquisitor, Duanmu Huai was no stranger to the Zerg, he had experienced wars with the Tyranids and the Zergs. Basically, the most annoying thing about the Zerg was the huge number of Zerg tactics, and then the various biological warfare styles that made people uncomfortable.

Things weren't much better here, but there was one good thing - they didn't have to walk on heavy, crushed, rotten-smelling biomass or fungal mats.

But the bugs still need to be fought.

“Buzz————!!!”

With the sound of wings flapping, a swarm of insects as big as cars rushed forward on the street. But then, a series of shining arrows whizzed out and pierced through the bodies of these insects. Alicia held a longbow in her hand and shuttled through this reinforced concrete forest like an elf. The longbow in her hand burst out with a speed comparable to that of a Gatling gun, shooting down the swarm of insects from the air.

However, although Alysia displayed the power of a humanoid self-propelled anti-aircraft gun, the swarm was still endless and continued to move forward relentlessly.

On the other side, Mu Geng was also waving the Demon Blade in her hand, shuttling back and forth among the insect swarm. Every time she swung the sharp blade, the whistling sword energy would sweep across the surroundings, splitting the insects in front of her in two, causing a brief gap in the dense insect swarm—although it would soon be filled.

"These guys are too difficult to deal with!"

As he was killing the bugs, Mu Geng couldn't help but complain. In Mu Geng's opinion, these bugs were not much stronger than low-level demons, at most they were a little bigger.

However, these bugs have several characteristics that are disgusting.

First, they will self-destruct when they die. Although the range is not large, the chain explosions are very deadly. If you are accidentally caught in it, even Kisara can't stand it.

  Second, these bugs can actually split!

Mu Gengjiu once watched with his own eyes those big insects split into two relatively small insects, and then these two relatively small insects could split into two individuals again!

This, coupled with the insects' self-destructive nature, is simply torture for Kisara, a melee fighter!

It was okay for Alicia, after all, she was a ranged player, so whether the bugs would self-destruct had nothing to do with her. But it was different for Mu Geng, who had rushed into the swarm of bugs with his sword before he knew the characteristics of the bugs, wanting to kill them all and show Duanmu Huai his ability.

As a result, when I went in, I was screaming and almost ran back in panic due to the continuous self-explosion of insects.

Is this what breeding is? So terrible?

  As a "latecomer member" of the Tribunal, Mu Geng rarely went out to fight with Duanmu Huai. Most of the time, she stayed in the Tribunal, taking care of Bambi and other little girls. This made Mu Geng very dissatisfied. In her opinion, she might not have the mysterious magic ability of Ann, Mary, or Fulilian, but she was still very capable in fighting! She also wanted to let Duanmu Huai see that she was a demon contractor and she was not just for show!

As a result...reality taught Kigen a hard lesson.

As for Duanmu Huai and Lumiair? The latter said that he was a technician and had no fighting ability. He had already been sitting on Duanmu Huai's shoulder and slacking off.

  And Duanmu Huai? He said he had no interest in flying. The mission of saving the world is left to you, girls!

Of course, they were not really slacking off. While Alicia and Mu Geng were eliminating the insect swarm, Duanmu Huai and Lumiaire were strolling the streets, trying to search for any traces of survivors.

"No, it looks like this place has been completely destroyed." Lumiaire stared at the communication terminal in his hand and shook his head.

"The situation is very bad. I suspect their command system may be broken. People are calling for support everywhere, but no orders have been issued..."

"The situation is so bad..."

Duanmu Huai also frowned. The Soul Fragment World is a cyclical time stream. Logically speaking, it should have a beginning and an end. Just like a game, when a player enters the game, they must first go through the prologue. It doesn't say that you can jump to the final BOSS directly by clicking on the new game.

In such a world of soul fragments where time flows in cycles, when he and others came in, they were naturally at the starting point.

But now it seems... there seems to be no difference between the starting point and the end point?

To be honest, in Duanmu Huai's opinion, the planet seems to be close to extinction.

This is even more difficult than walking out of the shelter and facing the wasteland in Fallout - or it's like you just walked out of the shelter door and were met by a large group of mutants and ghouls carrying rocket launchers and glowing death claws.

And you only have a small 10MM pistol in your hand.

Tsk tsk tsk, no matter how crazy the MOD author is, he would not be so inhumane.

"By the way, can you locate where that Iron Knight went? Didn't she say she was going back to report or something?"

"We've tracked her down. The base has been destroyed. She's currently... oh, she's almost here."

As he spoke, Lumière turned his head and looked behind him.

At this moment, Duanmu Huai saw a torrent of flames spurting out from behind, sweeping away the surrounding insect swarms. Then, the girl they had just rescued fell from the sky in a mecha and landed in front of them.

"It's great that you are still alive. I thought it was too late."

Seeing that Duanmu Huai and others were fine, the girl breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's dangerous to stay here any longer. Please follow me to the shelter."

"No problem, lead the way."

Duanmu Huai had hoped to find someone here to learn more about the situation, but now it seemed that the only person who would talk to him was this girl. So he didn't say anything more, nodded quickly, and then signaled Alicia and Mu Geng to come back. Then the group followed the mecha girl through the ruins and came to a nearby shelter.

As the mecha girl pressed the switch, everyone took the elevator to the shelter deep underground.

Well, if you think about it carefully, it is understandable. After all, insects can't dig holes. As long as you dig deeper, it is not impossible to avoid the ground attack of the insect swarm.

"stop!"

Just as everyone reached the entrance of the shelter, several soldiers raised their weapons and blocked their way.

"Who are you?"

"I am AR36988 of the th Assault Troop of the Iron Cavalry Regiment."

In response to the soldier's questions, the mecha girl gave her name.

"I am currently on a mission to evacuate the refugees."

"The 15th Assault Troop?"

After hearing the mecha girl's report, the other side was obviously shaken.

"How can this be?"

"The defense fleet was clearly defeated, why is it that...?"

Duanmu Huai stood behind the mecha girl without saying a word, looking at the soldiers opposite. He found that when these people learned that this mecha girl came from the defeated fleet, they showed not only surprise, but also a feeling of panic... Well, this is interesting.

"Who are you?"

One of the soldiers stared at Duanmu Huai and asked, while Duanmu Huai shrugged.

"We are travelers who were accidentally dragged into this war and are currently looking for a place to take refuge."

"…………………"

Hearing Duanmu Huai's answer, the soldier narrowed his eyes and looked at him for a moment.

"No outsiders are allowed here, please leave!"

After saying that, he was about to close the door, but when he heard the soldier's answer, the mecha girl seemed very surprised.

"Her Majesty the Queen has ordered that all survivors of the Empire must be given asylum. Do you want to disobey the Queen's order?"

"Tsk... the queen..."

Hearing this, the soldiers' expressions became even uglier. However, just when they were about to say something else, a young man came out.

"Let them in."

"But………"

"We also need to know the current surface conditions."

The young man was not very old, but he seemed to have a high prestige here. After hearing his order, the soldiers, although somewhat unwilling, still put down their weapons and stood aside. The young man walked in front of Duanmu Huai and others and smiled at them.

"Welcome to Shelter No. 37. Let's go inside and discuss the details."
