Crane tail salted fish from the Academy of the Brave

Chapter 854 The battlefield of courage and fear
The human living environment has undergone tremendous changes.

Human beings who thought they had escaped their tragic fate and could start a stable life once again experienced the anger of the world and their own weakness.

The wild storm that swept across the land tore apart everything it touched, and the city that mankind was proud of was shattered in an instant.The alien monsters that emerged from the storm easily defeated the battle-hardened warriors.

This fictional world called the Golden City is not a human utopia at all.

"Call the Brave Academy, this is field team Delta, please reply if you hear it."

"Incoming to the academy, Delta, how are you doing? 』

"The pollution in the area is getting more and more serious, and the protective system of the land ship cannot last long. Two people in the team were injured in the battle with abnormal monsters just now, and ordinary first aid measures are not very effective, so we want to apply Retreat temporarily.”

The academy's field team has recently been trying to rescue human cities hit by storms, but the rescue operation has encountered serious obstacles as the disaster has progressed faster than expected.

The area along the path of the storm will be polluted by a mixture of eternity and finality. Exposed to this extremely unstable environment, humans will die in less than 5 minutes.Although the academy's land-speed ship is equipped with protection systems against these two forces, it cannot travel for a long time without replenishing energy in time.

"Understood, you can return to the sixth supply station to regroup.Are there any other passengers on board? 』

"There are only a few ordinary residents found on the periphery of the contaminated area, with almost no fighting ability."

The city has been directly destroyed by the storm, but those who managed to escape still face the threat of residual pollution and abnormal monsters.Although the college's field team has tried its best to find survivors, the progress in the past few days has not been satisfactory.

"The college has sent you the latest map of changes in the pollution area. If the original route is no longer usable, please open a new route as soon as possible." 』

The progress of the investigation of the disaster is not optimistic at present. In the area surveyed by the college, nearly two-thirds of the area has been destroyed by the storm and left behind pollution. The human settlements in these areas have been completely destroyed. The quantity is expected to be only 5.00%.

The abnormal monsters born in the storm will also cause the pollution to spread outward. Although the college quickly established several lines of defense for this purpose, the area of ​​​​the safe zone is still shrinking uncontrollably.There are not many routes left for the field team to carry out rescue operations. I am afraid that the college will soon have to shrink its defense line and make every effort to ensure the safety of the core area.

"Delta...emergency!"Zone F, the third line of defense, has just been lost!Please change your route immediately..."

"……too late."

The communication with the academy was interrupted due to strong interference, and the captain of the field team who was sitting in the land speeder and responsible for the command also saw the scene ahead on the monitor at this time——

There were only countless monsters running towards them.

=====
"Delta, Sigma, and ETA teams lost contact...the monitoring response disappeared."

"A large number of abnormal monsters were found near the third line of defense. Three areas have been breached and the remaining personnel are retreating."

"The technical department reported that the current mass-produced origin weapons have limited lethality against abnormal monsters. Team Leader Benoir applied to temporarily lift the corresponding test restrictions."

The raging doomsday storm spreads wild pollution, turning the prosperous place of mankind into a breeding ground for disaster beasts.Even though the college had responded in advance, the situation quickly exceeded their control.

"Abandon the third line of defense and stop rescue operations in known disaster areas. The logistics department will do its best to collect the Origin Crystals and use the still-operating material terminals to exchange as many reserve materials as possible."

A choice must be made. The academy cannot save everyone, nor can it fight this disaster with dispersed personnel.

"The field department and the Luoyue Guild immediately began to guide city residents to take refuge in the academy. The period is only one day. Anyone who does not obey the command will give up immediately."

But can the academy stop those monsters and storms?Shiya didn't dare to guess the result.The disaster replicated in the Golden City is even vague in the records of the Time and Space Administration. Now no one knows what the correct response is.

"And the technical department..."

"The technical department just sent a report. They found a way to greatly improve the combat effectiveness of existing personnel, but..."

"I know, I'll go over and take a look personally... Others will start taking action immediately according to the new instructions."

In fact, the technical department had already had similar discussions, but at that time the academy did not need such a strong combat capability, and many plans were unavoidably dangerous, so these studies were temporarily shelved.And now they must find the power to fight those monsters as soon as possible, even if there are some risks, they must bear it.

But Shi Ya only had a bad premonition.

"Here we come, Dean... I'm sorry, we just tested the upgrade plan we designed before, but the results were not ideal."

The test report submitted by Benoir only concluded that it failed, but Shiya was more concerned about the stargazer who appeared here for some reason.That person is actually still controlled by the Golden Capital and cannot provide them with any meaningful help, but now he seems to be waiting for him, as if he wants to observe something.

"Is there any other plan?"

"Yes, but..."

The short Benoir hesitated for a moment before pointing to a transparent closed device in the experimental site.There is a weapon that seems to be somewhat special. The shape of the weapon does not look very suitable for fighting, but more like some kind of torture instrument with unknown purpose.

"That's something we made using the life cores stripped from the Final Familiar and Eternal Apostles. Different from the original weapons that can only be used as external equipment, it can be directly integrated with the human body itself. Not only can it directly absorb the elements in the environment, Energy can also be used more efficiently to the limit of human beings. But..."

"What's the question?"

"Theoretical calculations show that even if a highly compatible experimenter can be found, this thing will still have an 80.00% chance of turning humans into dangerous monsters outside... When the two extreme powers are combined with the body, unimaginable consequences will occur. pain, once the experimenter's spirit is broken, that thing will immediately lose control."

The risk is indeed unbearable, but the success rate is not zero.If humans can gain the power to fight on an equal footing with the monsters outside, then it can be said that they have the possibility to fight against disasters.

"However, as long as one test can be completed, no matter whether it succeeds or fails, we can make directional adjustments and greatly improve the subsequent success rate... But the candidates who meet the standards have not yet been determined."

Shi Ya now knew why the stargazers came here, he knew he would be here to witness the possibilities of humanity.No matter what the final result is, that courage and consciousness will be recorded in the Golden City.

"...You should have done research on suitable candidates a long time ago, right? So how good is my compatibility?"

"Because you are the strongest person in the academy now, so... the highest."

——The last time, someone sacrificed himself to end the disaster and save the future of mankind.But now, Shiya doesn't want that person to repeat such a cruel fate.

"Just use me as a test subject. If it fails, you will immediately select a new dean and mass-produce this thing."

But can human courage really defeat despair?
