Mei, the Herrscher of Thunder

Ordinary spiders do not fly, but protoviruses endow creatures with infinite possibilities.

They are all in the blind spot!

"It is estimated that this gastratus climbed to the high-rise buildings in Tokyo these days, and used the 'paraglider' made of spider webs to fly here along the airflow of the city. If you find it, maybe it really flew out of the city unknowingly..."

Just as the thoughts in Rentaro's mind were surging, the helicopter had already flown over the big spider.

However, the other party didn't seem to realize that there was already a "big guy" on top of his head, and he was still flying slowly towards the outside of the city. In the eyes of some people, the dull look was really "stupid and cute".

But its appearance is enough to scare an adult away on the spot...

"Bang!"

Suddenly, a sound piercing the iron plate came from behind, and the body of the helicopter began to shake sideways.

"What's going on?!" Rentaro couldn't help shouting.

If he hadn't recovered in time just now, his head might have had an "intimate contact" with the window.

"Your initiator forcibly opened the rear hatch!" The pilot did not dare to turn his head, and concentrated on stabilizing the helicopter.

"What?!" Hearing this, Rentaro turned his head hastily, just in time to see Enju jumping off the helicopter with his head down.

Most importantly, she was not wearing any protective equipment!

"Yeonju—!" He yelled to stop him, but it was too late.

Seeing this, Rentaro stood up from his seat, looked left and right, and finally fixed his gaze on the plastic rope on the side.

"Lower altitude! Quick!"

"Uh...okay" Seeing the rope in Rentaro's hand, the pilot who seemed to understand what he wanted to do wiped the cold sweat from his brow, and quickly controlled the helicopter to descend.

Finally, under the eyes of the pilot who looked like a madman, Rentaro tied one end of the rope firmly to the seat, and wrapped the other end around his waist a few times without any knots, and opened the cabin on the side of the helicopter directly. The door jumped.

For ordinary people, such behavior is tantamount to courting death.

However, Rentaro really managed to land just like that, at the cost of breaking a few branches, getting a few scratches on his face, and getting a few cuts in the men's uniform of Kouta High School on his body. Fluttering, with cotton wool turned out, it looks like a beggar's outfit.

Generally speaking, people are not seriously ill, this is a kind of miracle, isn't it?

"Enju..." After getting up from the muddy ground, Rentaro panted heavily, replenishing the air expelled from his lungs when he landed just now, while scanning the surroundings, looking for that petite figure.

After a while, he heard the sound of fighting.

"Yeonju, it must be Yeonju!"

Thinking of this, he urged himself to take a step forward and rushed towards the direction of the fighting sound.

When Rentaro climbed over several bushes and came to an open space, he happened to see that petite figure jumping into the air, kicking the spider-shaped gastratus with a few kicks that were so fast that afterimages appeared. The scene where the abdomen is kicked and exploded.

"It turns out that Enju used it as a vent... Also, how could she be so powerful that she couldn't even defeat a stage one gastratus?" Rentaro smiled while thinking.

As if seeing him coming, Yanzhu lowered her head and did not pick up the silver-white box that was stained with green blood. Her red eyes were dim and she fell into silence.

"Enju..." Seeing this, Rentaro walked over slowly.

"Ren Taro" Yanju raised his head, and the liquid on his face, whether it was tears or rain, slowly slid down, "How is it? I defeated it... I protected... I protected my classmates... oh..."

"Well, you protected them." Rentaro nodded, the corners of his mouth curled up, but he couldn't show a smile no matter what.

"Rentaro—!" Seeing this, Yanju couldn't bear it anymore, and threw herself into his arms, crying loudly.

Yeah, Yeon Joo protected them again, recapturing the box enough to bring the Tokyo district into disaster, indirectly saving countless people.

However, what is the use of this?

They all understand that even this can't change those people's views on the cursed children, and it can't make Yanzhu go back to school and continue to be friends with those people.

The heaviness in their hearts completely overwhelmed the joy of victory in the battle, and the sadness from their hearts made them not even look at the box that was offered a reward of one billion yen.

"Enju..." Feeling the trembling body of the girl in his arms, and listening to the cries full of grievances, Rentaro gently stroked the thin back, closed his eyes and let the rain hit his cheeks.

"You still have me, Yanju. Even if people in this world don't agree with you, you still have me. I, Rentaro, will always be by your side..."

"Rentaro..." Hearing this, the girl's crying gradually died down.

Both of them enjoy the tender moments with each other very much, and no one will destroy this warm scene.

However, the reality is not always as expected.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Following this familiar strange laughter, Rentaro opened his eyes, and his expression suddenly became extremely ugly.

"Zhizi Yingyin..."

This kicked off the catastrophe in Tokyo.

Chapter 32

Mei didn't know about the big crisis that Rentaro and others and even the entire Tokyo area were about to encounter.

Although Sheng Tianzi had told her many intelligences and information that ordinary people had no right to know because of their childhood friendship, but the former did not directly answer many doubts about Mei.

As for the contents of the box and the origin of gastrulation, Mei didn't even know anything about it, and only vaguely guessed about the latter.

Perhaps for politicians, Sheng Tianzi, who has only been in office for a few years, is still a fledgling.As for the meaning and responsibility represented by the identity of "head of state", the pure white girl has already felt and made a corresponding awareness——

The consciousness of giving up everything about oneself and only existing for the future of the people and the country.

……

No.30 Ninth District, in the sewer where the cursed children live.

When Mei and Lei Yi climbed down the ladder one after another, they were a little surprised by what they saw.

Ordinary people's impression of the sewer should be a small place full of all kinds of stench and filth, which is enough to be called "the nightmare of cleanliness patients".

However, the sewer in front of me was unexpectedly spacious and much cleaner than imagined. Except for the stench caused by the domestic sewage for many years, which made Mei frowned at the beginning, there was nothing unacceptable in other places.

"Big and small... Mei, should we invite them to talk on the ground?" Seeing Mei frowning, Lei Yi thoughtfully suggested.

"No, sister Lei Yi." Mei shook her head and walked forward, "Don't underestimate me. Have you forgotten that our family is a military family? For soldiers, it is necessary to endure all kinds of harsh environments Yihuan, don't forget the family teachings because you have enjoyed it for too long."

"Yes, Mei." Lei Yi smiled and followed.

So, in the sewer that was filled with all kinds of stench in the air, Mei and Lei walked through it one by one, followed the faintly visible lights to the destination.

To be precise, it is the gathering area of ​​the cursed children.

There is a buffer zone in front of me, surrounded by closed walls, which should be similar to a temporary resting place built by repairmen. There is a wall separated from the drain, and the odor in the air is much lighter, and it is no longer so annoying. " Endless aftertaste."

Seeing the two of them coming, it seemed as if they were preparing for a welcome party. Under the dim light, nearly twenty children were huddled together. Led by a middle-aged man with gray hair, they all smiled .

"Welcome, honorable Miss Raiden Family."

"Welcome~"

As soon as the middle-aged man finished speaking, the children bowed to the two of them.

It seemed that they had rehearsed beforehand, but the curious nature of children made them stare at Mei with all kinds of eyes before bowing, and they didn't bend down until they saw their companions bowing in front of them. .

"You...you..." Miss Lei Dian, who has always been known for her elegance and calmness, was stunned when she saw the children bowing to her like rice in a wheat field.

To be honest, Mei had thought of many ways to meet each other.

For example, they looked at him with hatred, and they stayed away from him, unwilling to contact him; or they approached him all at once with curious eyes, etc., but they didn't expect that they would greet him in this way like a welcome party and Lei Yi's arrival.

"Miss Leiden, it's really a surprise that you're here." The middle-aged man wearing glasses and with a straight back said so, his tone was neither humble nor overbearing, giving off an intellectual feeling.

"You are Matsuzaki-senpai, right? This junior has heard about you from Lei Yikou, how did you recognize me?" Mei nodded and asked with some doubts.

"Senior, I don't dare to be. Regarding your identity as the eldest lady, as a person who was saved by the Self-Defense Forces in the Battle of Kanto ten years ago, how could it be possible that I don't even know the princess of the Self-Defense Forces? This is too ridiculous. Alright," the middle-aged man said with a smile.

"Princess of the Self-Defense Forces?" Mei frowned, a little confused.

"Miss, this is the title given to you by the Self-Defense Force." Lei Yi came out and explained appropriately.

"Really? Why don't I even know myself this title?" Mei's expression was a little weird.

"Hahaha, it seems that the eldest lady really doesn't like going out as the rumors say." Seeing this, the middle-aged man chuckled.

"Miss, she likes to practice at home very much," Lei Yi jumped out and added appropriately.

"Is that so? She is so diligent, she really deserves to be the talented lady of Lei Dian's family." The middle-aged man squinted his eyes and smiled kindly.

"..."

Seeing the two people who sang in unison, and feeling the children's more and more curious eyes, Mei couldn't help but interrupted: "Stop, stop! Stop complimenting me, I'm here today to visit the children, the rest Let's stop the matter for now!"

At this time, two petite figures came out from among the children.

"elder sister!"

Hearing this somewhat familiar voice, Mei suddenly turned her head and looked over.

"So it's you. How are you doing these days? Did you listen to my sister?"

"Well! I listened to my sister's words and didn't steal anything anymore. I've been very happy these few days!"

The person who spoke was the girl Mei rescued from the hands of two patrolmen for the first time.

But at this time, compared to the last time we met, her messy hair was combed straight, the bullet holes and blood stains on her forehead had disappeared, and she seemed to be wearing the new clothes that Lei Yi brought, her whole person changed completely Mei didn't recognize her appearance for a while.

"Really? That's good. The inner city is too dangerous. If you're okay, try not to go there again... By the way, I forgot to ask your name last time, and this one beside you..." Mei nodded , looked at the figure standing beside the girl.

Sensing her sight, the young girl with long flaxen hair flashed her eyes, and shrank her body a little scared.

"Don't be afraid, Riko, sister is a good person, she won't hurt us." Seeing this, the black-haired girl touched the little girl's hair like a big sister, and comforted her with a smile.

"Riko?" Seeing the scene in front of her, Mei made a gesture to put her hand into her pocket, but actually took out a lollipop that she had prepared earlier from the soul world.

After tearing open the package of the lollipop in front of the young girl, Mei bent down with a smile and handed the lollipop to her.

"Riko, do you want to eat it? It's very sweet, here it is for you."

"Hmm..." Seeing the colorful lollipop in front of her, the young girl swallowed her saliva, looked up at Mei's expression, and after confirming that the other party was really harmless, she stretched out her small hand and slowly took the candy .

"Thank you...thank you, big sister."

The immature childish voice, the weak tone, but the caution beyond her age made Mei understand:

This little girl who looks like five or six years old must have suffered a lot.

"Thank you sister! My name is Yumazi, and she is my younger sister Yuriko, who is almost six years old this year." The black-haired girl thanked Mei sincerely.

"Well, it's okay, it's just a lollipop, it's nothing to me." Mei smiled and said she didn't care.

However, as soon as she said "rich and powerful", the rest of the children looked at her with fiery or hopeful eyes.

Lollipops, for people in peacetime, are just very cheap candies, and no one will care about these things.

It's just that in the last days, under the encirclement and suppression of gastrulation, human technology and industry are showing a downward trend. Many people can't even eat enough to eat, let alone buy these "gadgets".

Hence, demand determines market supply.

Not many people are willing to spend spare money to buy these things, causing factories to no longer bother to produce and process children's snacks such as candies.

Under such circumstances, candies like lollipops are becoming less and less rare, and their prices have skyrocketed, making them almost exclusive to wealthy families.

In today's Tokyo area, the price of a lollipop like Mei just sold is equivalent to the food cost of an ordinary family of three for nearly a week.

What an exaggerated price!

For these cursed children, most of them have never seen a lollipop, let alone tasted it.

But now, there is such a "rich man" in front of them, who takes out a lollipop to give away, and looks like he doesn't care, how can they sit still!

Naturally, Mei is not a person who is unresponsive. Feeling their fiery eyes, how can she not know what they are thinking.

"Senior Matsuzaki" she looked at the middle-aged man with a faint smile on her face, "I will trouble you to let the children go up there later, Lei Yi and I brought a lot of gifts for the children this time, It’s all in the car now. There are eggs, milk, supplements, vegetables, meat, etc., by the way, there are more than a dozen sets of children’s clothes and a few quilts to keep out the cold at night.”

"This... this will cost you too much! Miss" This time, the middle-aged man could no longer maintain his composure, and was even so surprised that his glasses almost fell off.

"Really!?" In contrast, those children seemed excited.

"It's true~ Starting today, you don't have to go hungry anymore." Lei nodded and said with a smile.

"Oh!!! Long live the young lady! Long live the good sister!"

The children were rejoicing, and the smiles on their faces made the whole place seem to light up. The excited shouts and bright eyes made people smile.

"Miss, you are like this..." The middle-aged man opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something.
