Start a Core Pod

Cleaning up the streets was not an easy job. Everyone was tired after working for a long time, so they simply found a restaurant nearby and sat down to have lunch. Of course, there was no one alive in the restaurant, and there were no waiters. Work, but well, food is just a matter of mood, isn't it?

It feels completely different when you sit at a restaurant table to eat than when you eat outside in the ruins.

 “Hey, look, I also found a bottle of brandy!”

Aiden showed his characteristics as a wanderer again. When he entered the restaurant without saying anything, he walked around for a while. He unexpectedly found an unopened bottle of brandy from the kitchen, and he and Joel happily went drinking together. Okay--adults also have their own ways of entertainment, don't they?

Duanmuhuai had no interest in this thing, so he walked around for a while, then lit a barbecue on the bar outside and started eating at the buffet. Anyway, he has always been prepared for any emergencies. There are so many things in the inventory that there is no place to put them, not to mention Duanmu Huai and the mage's mansion, which are big killers. He doesn't have to worry about these problems on weekdays.

 The aroma of charcoal grilled steak is so fragrant that other people’s mouths water when they smell it - look at the compressed biscuits in their hands.

 This is for human consumption?

 “Come, let’s take one piece each, and there will be more if there are more.”

Duanmu Huai naturally saw the envious looks of others, and he laughed and shared the meal. When everyone heard this, they immediately looked like students rushing to the cafeteria after class at noon.

“Is it really okay for us to do this?”

 Eating steak, Komuro Takashi felt a little embarrassed.

 “What if a zombie is attracted here?”

"Don't worry."

 Duanmu Huai waved his hand.

“Ogis and Qiuwei are watching from outside. Those zombies can’t get through.”

 “Aren’t they... still children?”

Miyamoto Rei frowned. At least from the outside, Ogis and Qiaowei were actually about the same age as Shirley and Alice. In the eyes of everyone, they were all teenagers. Before, they had just been sitting in Duanmu Huai. There was basically no action on Duanmu Huai's shoulders, so everyone had little understanding of whether the two little girls were capable of fighting - in their opinion, the reason why the two little girls sat on Duanmu Huai's shoulders was purely for safety reasons.

 I never thought that these two could fight as well as Duanmuhuai.

"They are not ordinary children... In short, just watch them. If they take it seriously, it will not be a problem to clean up the zombies in the entire city."

As he spoke, Duanmu Huai glanced outside and saw the sisters sitting at a dining table outside the restaurant, looking around boredly. Ogis was as silent as ever, and Qianwei was as talkative as ever...

 In other words, these two are getting along pretty well now.

Looking at the two of them, Duanmu Huai nodded while eating the steak. He still remembers that in the Holy City at the beginning, Qiangwei was fighting for the title of "the most perfect doll" and yelled at Ojis to kill her, with a look of "With her, without me, without her." , at that time, I never imagined that this person would become the talkative person he is now...

 Duanmu Huai scratched his head and said that only after raising Qi Wei did Duanmu Huai realize that the twins were really troublesome. Logically speaking, Qiaowei's ability and fighting power are no different from Ojis's. Both sides control the puppets through silk threads to fight. But Qianwei didn't know whether it was out of pride or some other reason, but she didn't want to choose the same fighting method as Ogis.

So he was caught blind.

Duanmu Huai also chose some weapons for Qiu Wei, but the latter didn't like them very much, saying that he must choose one that his sister didn't have - it seemed that Qi Wei was determined to fight Ogis on this. Lost.

So Duanmu Huai experienced the feeling of raising twins for the first time. Qiaowei did not have to be the same as Ojis in everything, but had to be the opposite of Ojis.

Talk about dresses, for example. Ogis usually wears a black dress, while Qiangwei wears all white. Ogis held a black umbrella, and Qiangwei held a white umbrella. Alas, Muhuai couldn't understand the inexplicable conflict between the twins, so he just let them go.

  It's a little cute anyway.

 Although strictly speaking, these two are not created by the same father.

 After all, Duanmu Huai also discovered that although his little cotton-padded jacket didn't respond to Qianwei's performance, he was secretly competing with her in the mainland. For example, she didn't wear all black before, but after Qi Wei appeared, Ogis never changed into her black dress.

It seems that this sister is quite thoughtful.

And Qianwei has really found a way to fight against Ogis, and that is...

"boom!"

When the gunfire rang out, Duanmu Huai raised his head and glanced out the window. At this moment, he saw Qiaowei holding a sniper rifle that was taller than her, happily aiming at the distance, and then pulled the trigger. .

"boom!!"

 “Hahahaha, another one, his head shattered like a watermelon, so funny!”

Hearing Qianwei’s crazy laughter, Duanmu Huai twitched the corners of his eyes and remained silent. That's right, what Qi Wei finally thought of was - specializing in long-range!

I have to say that this move is really useful for Duanmu Huai. Most of the people around Duanmu Huai are close combat or mid-range attacks, and there are no professions such as long-range snipers. Many times, it would be more convenient if Duanmuhuai had a helper who specialized in long-range. So after learning about this, Qiaowei volunteered to become a sniper.

Of course, Duanmu Huai thinks that the reason why Qianwei chose this is besides being able to compete with her sister...

 “Hahahaha, another one was killed, and the body is still twisting around so interestingly! Next one!”

 ……mostly to satisfy my own bad taste.

After having enough wine and food, everyone rested for a while before continuing to set off. Perhaps due to Tuo Qianwei's madness, all the zombies around were basically wiped out. Only a few who were hiding in the house and were not captured were also captured by Duanmu Huai It was smashed into pieces, and everyone arrived at the oil warehouse smoothly.

Compared with other places, the oil warehouse... well, it is also very quiet here. There are only a few large oil cans standing in the yard. Duanmu Huai kicked open the shaky iron door that had been in disrepair for a long time and took a big step. Went in.

 “Good guy, it seems like no one has been here for a long time.”

Looking at the parking lot with overgrown weeds, Duanmuhuai curled his lips and turned his head to look at the others.

 “Is this mission accomplished?”

"Let me see………"

Aiden took out the map and compared it.

“He said he wants us to clear the road and then clear the threats in the warehouse.”

“That means we’ll be done by killing the zombies here, right?”

Duanmuhuai snapped his fingers, then stood in the yard, held his head high, took a deep breath, and then roared!

 “Grandson————!”

A deafening roar erupted from Duanmu Huai's armor and echoed around the entire warehouse. The birds in the distance were so frightened that they screamed "gaaaaah" and ran away. However, there was a dead silence in the entire warehouse. There was no reply at all.

　　……Looks like there’s nothing wrong?”

Duanmu Huai looked at everyone again. After all, zombies in this world rely on hearing. If he had heard Duanmu Huai's roar, he would have exploded. There's no reaction at all. Does that mean it's safe here?

"I guess so?"

Aiden scratched his head. "But to be cautious, I think we should take another look at the situation here."

 “Now? Are you sure?”

 Miyamoto Rei is not very enthusiastic about Aiden's proposal. The reason is very simple - the sun is going down soon!

 Staying in such a lonely place on a dark night?

 It’s dangerous just thinking about it.

 “It doesn’t take much time to go around in one circle.”

 Duanmu Huai doesn't care.

"It's originally a small warehouse. Let's see if there are any hidden threats here. Let's take a look at the situation of the warehouse. We work in pairs... Qianwei, stay outside and pay attention to your surroundings. Ogis and I will go inside the warehouse. have a look."

Since Duanmu Huai has made his decision, others will not object. Komuro Takashi and Miyamoto Rei are in a group, Aiden is in a group with Joel, Duanmu Huai is in a group with Ojis, and they enter the oil in front of them separately. In the product warehouse.

“To be honest, I thought I would encounter something like a BOSS battle.”

Walking in the warehouse, using a fortune teller to check the surrounding oil tanks and pipelines, Duanmuhuai complained. Isn’t this the case with games in general? When you arrive at a new map, you will definitely encounter the BOSS when you enter, right? Unexpectedly, this place didn't behave according to common sense. It was completely clean and empty. Duanmu Huai had just scanned it with an auspicious device. The only other life reactions here were rats except them.

The fact is what Duanmu Huai thought. When everyone came out, Miyamoto Rei and Komuro Takashi didn't find any threat. Only Aiden said that there was something wrong with the operation room here. The parts on the operation table were disassembled by someone unknown when, but the oil here was full. Everything seemed normal and there was no leakage.

 “That’s it for now.”

 After listening to everyone’s reports, Duanmu Huai also made a decision.

"Let's take a break, and then you go back and report first. I'll stay and watch to avoid anything happening... We can't drive this tanker back, right?"

“The tire is flat.”

Joel, who had been repairing under the tanker for a long time, now climbed out and spread his hands.

“Although the car seems to be generally in good condition, the tires and parts still need to be replaced. I hope there are spare parts here..."

"That's not a problem we need to worry about. We are not the nannies of this gathering place. What they plan to do is their own business. All in all, the task has been completed for now."

 Duanmu Huai waved his hand.

 “Then we will…”

 “Boom————!!”

However, before Duanmu Huai finished speaking, suddenly, a deafening loud noise broke out, interrupting his speech. Upon hearing this sound, everyone was stunned and turned to look towards the place where the sound came from. I saw a bright red fire cloud in the dim city...

“That side… seems to be the direction of the gathering place, right?”

Aiden looked confused, while Duanmuhuai raised his eyebrows and looked at Qiangwei.

 “Qiaowei, can you see what’s going on?”

"Let me see!"

Qiaowei, who was sitting on top of the oil tank, also raised the sniper rifle in her hand and aimed at the direction of the explosion.

"Reporting to the owner...the gathering place...seems to have been attacked!"

"What?"

Hearing this, everyone couldn't sit still, and Duanmu Huai was even more confused.

 Are you kidding me? I'm waiting for the BOSS battle here, and you end up stealing my house?

You, the boss, don’t have martial ethics!

 “I’m going to see what’s going on!”

Duanmuhuai made a decision immediately. He looked at the others and quickly issued an order.

“You stay here for the time being, wait for my signal, and do some cleaning of this place by the way, just in case, and I will come back after I go take a look!”

　　After saying this, Duanmu Huai didn’t wait for their answer. He saw the jetpack behind him suddenly open, spraying out a violent stream of air. The next moment, Duanmuhuai jumped up with Ogis in tow and flew into the sky towards the gathering place.

When they heard that the gathering place was attacked, Joel and Miyamoto Rei were very worried about the safety of their children and wanted to leave with Duanmuhuai. However, before they could say anything, a storm came and dust hit their faces. They blew away, and when they opened their eyes again, Duanmuhuai had disappeared.

"this………"

 Looking at this scene, everyone was stunned.

 “This armor is too powerful!”

Duanmuhuai certainly didn't know how envious and jealous those people were of his power armor. At this moment, he just accelerated forward. Duanmuhuai knew that with Mary watching over the gathering place, generally speaking, nothing big would happen. But the fact that it exploded now means that we have encountered a difficult problem that even Mary cannot deal with...

 “Boom————!”

Just when Duanmuhuai was about to arrive at the gathering place, there was suddenly another violent explosion. Duanmuhuai saw a flash of light in front of his eyes, and a small mushroom cloud rose into the sky, directly involving him, and then Duanmuhuai lost his balance. It just fell from the sky like a meteorite and plummeted to the ground.

 “Damn! Is this really a nuclear bomb?”

Looking at the high-energy radiation alarm displayed crazily in his helmet, Duanmuhuai also cursed loudly. Although the nuclear bomb did not look very powerful, it was still a nuclear bomb! Who is so heartless as to drop nuclear bombs where people live?

However, Duanmuhuai can understand why Mary can't do anything - facing a nuclear bomb, her little ability is really not enough!

 Even if it’s just a miniature nuclear bomb!

At this moment, the entire gathering place was a sea of ​​fire. Duanmu Huai stood up, put down Ojis on his shoulders, and stared ahead. Then he saw several huge monsters wearing tattered armor walking among the flames. out.

 Seeing these monsters, Duanmu Huai couldn't help but be stunned.

 “Isn’t this... a green skin?”
