Morning in the Tower of Swords

Now that the opportunity finally came, he felt that as long as he defeated Sereya to prove that he was stronger than her, and coupled with the task of killing Anthony, the Energy Department would definitely help him nominate him for the appointment.

But in fact... Although the reasons are not the same, but as Saria said, he is not worthy at all.

Among the powerful group in Colombia, where does Jeston rank in terms of strength?Such a prestigious and powerful position as the Director of Rhine Life has been snatched up long ago, and it is estimated that there is no one who can match the strength of Sereya in the past.

He didn't think about it carefully, why hasn't the general administration appointed a new director of the defense department for more than half a year?

Of course, it’s because the commander-in-chief doesn’t treat non-scientists as human beings. No matter how powerful they are, they are just tools. It’s really difficult to find someone who has the same military strength and scientific research capabilities as Serena, who is also good at tactics. Find a needle in a haystack.

Even if the director of the energy department should not have such extreme views as the general manager, the internal philosophy of Rhine Life is generally the same. Even if Jeston can really defeat Serena, he can't accept that a mere mercenary is equal to him.

And Jeston is just a killer who doesn't think about making progress. He neither seeks to improve his skills, nor seeks to learn knowledge to change his appearance. He is all focused on calculating others to make himself feel happy.

He doesn't understand the crookedness of these upper-level people at all, he just thinks that he is valued by the energy department, and he is given free remodeling surgery, but in fact it is just an experimental product, that is, a steel straight girl like Seriya will face to face He clearly said "you are not worthy" three words.

As a result, Jeston hated him.

His eyes were fierce, his arms turned into black blades and he rushed forward at full speed. Unlike the playful mentality when he was fighting with Anthony, Jeston at least regarded Serena as the same level as himself. Also similar opponents.

So he began to judge others by himself. The strength of the skill of the armored tortoise like him is not above the offensive. If you don't fight quickly, you will only fall into the dilemma of scraping each other. A one-hit kill before it takes shape.

"stop!"

Anthony didn't know Selia, but the other party did save him just now, and it was obvious that he had a hostile relationship with Jeston, so he reminded him loudly and tried to come forward to rescue him, but Jeston was a veteran in combat after all, and this He poured all his strength into the blow, and Anthony's burly body couldn't stop him.

Even until the second before the blade in Jeston's hand was about to touch Saria's neck, he didn't find any sign of Saria's driving skills, and Jeston didn't have time to think so much in the blink of an eye, but his heart was full of excitement. Looking forward to the ecstasy that is about to reach the pinnacle of life.

"Hahaha, suffocated... vomit!!"

Saria did not intend to activate her calcification skill, because it was unnecessary, and she didn't even bother to take an extra step. She just raised one hand and spread it out, and then... slapped it.

boom! !

There was a loud sound of metal and iron on Jeston's face, as if the digital alloy sledgehammer of the Zutun beast had hammered on the alloy armor of the steel orangutan, and a cloud of blood sprayed from Jeston's face. The iron filings still had teeth, and then flew out sideways like being hit in the face by a dump truck.

Facts have proved that the slap of the iron gate he was kicked open before was not really a long-awaited slap by Selia, but just a random kick to take a shortcut, just like the casual armed slap now.

"..."

Anthony, who was closest to the two of them, was dumbfounded, and the deafening noise was still echoing in his ears. Jeston, who was slapped like a football, really just fought with his life. The unshakable enemy?

If even Jeston can only be counted as a ball, how good is he?

He just stood there stupidly looking at the direction where Jeston was shot, and he couldn't help but want to become stronger, not only to make those who plotted against his family pay the price, but also In order not to fall into a suffocated appearance like Jeston.

"Pfft... Yi (you), what are you doing to Yi Gang!!"

Jeston, who got up again, spat out a mouthful of old blood on the ground, one cheek was swollen as if he had swallowed an apple, and the teeth in his mouth were incomplete, and his speech leaked out. Obviously this time it was a broken defense in both physical and mental senses. up.

But what made Jeston unacceptable was that he had clearly seen Serena's hand turn black in an instant, indicating that the other party had iron control skills similar to his, even though Vayfan's physique made Serena Her strength and speed surpassed hers, so why would her slap be so hard! ?

"...No, I don't accept it! I still have the hole card that Rhine Life gave me to transform, this time I have to be serious!"

Jeston yelled angrily and tore up his shirt, and then his whole body was covered by pitch-black matter, just like the armed color form of Virgo, the cadre of the Don Quixote family in One Piece, but this is not the armed color, just It's just condensed iron.

If it was his strongest attack form before, then it is now his defensive form with all his strength. Jeston, who has lost his chance, has basically given up the possibility of instant killing Serena, but he just wants to prove his strength Skills are stronger and tougher than Saria!

Coupled with the metal plate and energy source implanted in him by the energy department, even in the turtle shell scraping battle, Jeston firmly believed that he was the one who scraped to the end!

"Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!"

He howled and charged at Saria again, but he didn't know that he was the same as when Anthony released the wildness before. Saria just closed her eyes and shook her head, and her right fist was immediately covered with a layer of black and shiny Breathe in, then strike forward.

boom! ! !

Jeston flew upside down in an instant. Not only that, the iron part of his chest that received the punch had been completely shattered, his chest cavity was also sunken, and the metal plate in his body was punched deep like plasticine. fist print.

But if it wasn't for the protection of the metal plate, the one with this mark would probably be his heart.

"Puff... vomit... No, it's impossible, how can your iron be so strong, I should be invincible..."

"Iron? You don't think this is my skill, do you? It's just martial arts."

"Wu, martial arts?!"

Saria walked slowly in front of Jeston, who was kneeling on the ground, and let go of the armed arrogance in his hands in front of him. Jeston's pupils trembled suddenly, because he didn't feel any harm from it at all. of iron elements.

"Look, this is my skill."

An off-white diamond faucet slowly rises from the floor next to Sereya, but below it is a half-naked and burly human figure like Anthony, even the same height as him, 1.9 meters five, it is hard not to It makes people think that this is a move that Saria improvised to mock Jeston.

However, as long as people in the know see the love on the diamond crotch guard on the half-dragon man's lower body, they can understand that she is definitely not a whim, this is "Crazy Diamond", and its ability is to repair the broken family of single-parent Charmander!

Sarcasm is quite ironic, because this skill was actually created by Selia to accompany Ifrit to play the game of "stand-in house wine", but it is enough to beat Jeston....

Seeing Saria stretch out a finger and point to the astonished Jeston's forehead, a musical note that truly symbolizes invincibility danced in the air.

"There is only one reason for your failure. I want to say it again to you nonsense garbage, you, no, pass, pass!"

"...No, no! Se! Ray! Ya!"

Dooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Of course, it wasn't Seliya who yelled it out by herself, that would be too shameful, this is a dubbing clip stored in her communicator, and the doctor gave her voice.

……

"Too, too strong..."

When Saria took the "Crazy Diamond" beside her from the bloody and completely unconscious Jeston and turned around to look, she saw Kafka and Robin hugging tightly and looking at her shivering.

The prisoners who were still in the melee just now were completely gone, and even Dr. Duma, who was held hostage by them, was left on the spot and blinked in a daze.

In fact, the prisoners didn't leave here, because the entrances and exits are all on Sereya's side, but it doesn't matter, this is the prison morgue, and most of them are closed "beds" in the cabinets for hiding.

Some of the "beds" were already full, and the prisoners who had no time to find an empty bed could only squeeze a little bit with the corpses that were frozen like popsicles.

"I've heard of the name Seriya, she's the director of the Rhine Life Defense Department!"

"What!? Defense, Director of the Defense Division!"

Rhine Life's status in the hearts of ordinary people in Colombia is equivalent to the National Academy of Sciences established by the government. Although this is not the case, it also reflects how unscrupulous the relationship and transactions between Rhine Life and the government and the military are.

Therefore, in the eyes of Kafka and Robin, the director of the defense department of Rhine Life is basically equivalent to the director of the Homeland Strategic Defense Attack and Logistics Support Bureau, the kind who can drive the space carrier to fight against the Chitauri invasion.

Of course, the main reason they were afraid was that Jeston blew himself up at the beginning that he was hired by the Rhine Life Energy Division to assassinate Anthony, so this guy is not even qualified to be a killer. How can an assassin betray his employer information? of?

Did he think this was a movie made in [-]?Before the villain kills, he must explain all the evil plans clearly, and can't let his target die in ignorance.

It is of course impossible for ordinary people to know that the various departments of Rhine Life are not monolithic, and the general manager is too lazy to investigate the open and secret struggles between them, let alone the "Balrog" incident that was strictly blocked by Rhine Life and the defection of Seriya.

So they took it for granted that Rhine Life was very dissatisfied with Jeston's professional ethics, and that's why Saria would use this assassination mission to kill him.

By the way, personally ensure the smooth completion of the assassination mission.

However, Anthony, who is the closest to Serena, doesn't think so. He stayed in this prison for six years. Although he didn't have the opportunity to practice martial arts and origin stone skills, he borrowed the relationship with the prison guard team and the warden to read a lot of books. , the mood really calmed down.

Even if his friend is held hostage and he has to release his wild instincts, he can adjust back immediately after the situation changes, and there will be no completely uncontrolled situation, which is enough to show that he has controlled his heart.

Both instinct and heart are reminding Anthony at this time that Saria in front of him is like an unshakable and indestructible city wall, and the city wall will not take the initiative to hurt others unless you "take the initiative" to kill on top.

That's why Anthony didn't hesitate to choose to help Serea just now, even though he didn't help at all.

"Although your appearance is very unique, let's make sure that you are Anthony Simon?"

"That's right, this is Anthony, dare to ask..."

"My name is Seria. I'm here to pick you up and go to Rhodes Island. I just want you to stay in Colombia for a while. I think someone should have explained these things to you, but she probably didn't mention me. .”

Anthony couldn't help but look back at Kafka who was shaking his head wildly at him. She did tell Anthony that someone from Rhode Island entrusted her to help her escape from prison, and that person was Hemer. .

What Kafka shook his head meant not only to say that she did not hear from Hemer that there were other people coming, but also to remind Anthony not to trust Saria easily.

"Is this the little girl? She accepted Dr. Hemer's entrustment, right? However, in order to ensure safety and avoid the full knowledge of the plan from people like Jeston, there is an extra person I haven't explained. .”

"Sounds right, but I still want to ask..."

Although Anthony intuitively thinks that Saria didn't come to kill him, but he has three other companions, and he can't take them in just because of intuition, because Saria's purpose may also be to take him out of prison and escort him When it comes to Rhine's life, the fate of other people can be imagined.

"I don't have time to say more! If it drags on, the prison will send a team of prison guards over at any time. Although they can't stop me, if I was witnessed to escape from the prison on the spot, the blockade and pursuit of soldiers on the road will definitely be faster.

But fortunately, the meeting point was set at the infirmary because of the morgue below. There are many infected prisoners among the prisoners. Therefore, there is also an emergency treatment channel leading to the outside in the morgue, and you can leave the prison from there. . "

The so-called emergency treatment channel is actually a device like a slide in a water park. It is well known that the infected person will become an explosive source of infection after a period of time after death. To deal with it properly, professional isolation operation equipment and space are required.

However, this mobile prison is a tool for the warden and the investors behind the scenes to make money. How could it be possible to pay such a high fee for the dead infected people who can no longer create value for them?

So their solution is to let the prisoners who are also infected throw the corpse of the infected person into the emergency treatment channel, and the corpse will be directly discharged out of the cabin like snow from the train toilet, and accept the degradation treatment of nature.

Of course, this is limited to when the mobile prison is moving or stationed in the wilderness, not when it is close to the city for supplies, otherwise the warden will have to sue.

Therefore, before approaching the city supply, the warden will ask Anthony to come forward to help the prison guards maintain the order of the prisoners in the prison. It is best not to cause any fights that lead to the death of the infected, and if there are infected who are dying due to illness...then they will be punished. "Dispose" in the wild ahead of time.

However, it's not that the warden didn't spend money on this project at all. After all, even a fool can think of escaping from prison through this processing channel.

"No, only the warden and his deputy have the key to deal with the channel. The key switch is not here but in the main control room. Once the channel door is opened, the heating device inside the channel will also be activated, and the The corpses were roasted before being thrown out."

This is Duma, who is a prison doctor, speaking, because she was adopted by the former prison doctor since she was a child and has almost never left here. how terrible.

She just felt that since Serena saved them, she probably belonged to her.

While roasting a corpse sounds nasty, it's the quickest and cheapest way to make sure no living things escape from it, while other methods like freezing are too slow to kill , the crystals that are chopped and easily cut into the corpse trigger the radiation or even explode in advance.

Only heating and roasting is the only way to ensure safety as long as the heat is controlled to the extent that the source stone crystals will not be turned into explosives. The speed of roasting the living is also very fast, and the roasted meat can also attract people all over Terra. The origin stone worms came to eat the corpse.

"It's okay, of course I'm prepared for this."

I saw Serena walked to the passage door that looked like the garbage disposal entrance of the corridor, and her right hand was instantly covered with a layer of white crystals, full of strange beauty like a bone armor, but after a while, it was covered again by a layer of white crystals. The armed domineering color was dyed pitch black, and the overflowing aura made Serena look extremely domineering.

"Wait a minute, what are you doing..."

Boom! !

Anthony probably had a premonition that even he didn't believe it, but he didn't expect that Serena could really do it. She smashed the passage door through with one punch, and then grabbed it with one hand like The whole yogurt cup lid was torn off.

Now Kafka and Robin stopped trembling, and they were so frightened.

However, her rough action directly touched the prison's alarm system, and a reddish light began to emit from the inside of the passage, obviously the heating device was activated.

So Serena took out a red and white elf ball from her waist and threw it on the ground. As a piercing cold air poured out, a black rock head that seemed to be wrapped in ice armor appeared in it and lit up. A mouth full of healthy and white teeth smiled straight at Sereya Geigei.

"I'll leave it to you from now on, Ice Ghost Guardian, Frozen Wind."

Legend has it that the Ice Ghost was born from the soul of a mountaineer who died in the snow mountain, but in reality, the Ice Ghost only has ice and no ghost attribute. Like the Ice Ghost, the CP species Snow Demon Girl who evolved from the Snow Boy has the ice + ghost attribute.
