About becoming a magical girl

When Yanilasi arrived with her team, the woman was completely dead.

It was as if he collapsed from exhaustion and lost all vitality, and died silently like that.

"She... died by herself?"

"Well, she was still crying and asking me to kill her until she died."

"In the end..."

The people present, including Yanilas, Heluer and others, as well as Bai Yan, Aisha and a group of soldiers, most of them have rich combat experience, have participated in rigorous training and combat missions, and are undoubtedly people with strong psychological quality.

But after seeing the woman's death, everyone was shocked and horrified.

No one had ever seen this kind of thing, and according to the descriptions of Evenier and the soldiers, they also had their own guesses, but no one could give a reasonable and convincing explanation.

Avnir pulled the pale-faced Xue Nai behind her.

"Don't look."

"I... I'm fine..."

"Listen to me, don't look."

Efnir turned his eyes sideways, looked at Yanila Si, and took a deep breath.

"Anyway, there's something weird here...I can't put into words the feeling, but...my intuition makes me feel bad."

"Me too... so what should I do now?"

"Put the corpse in, isolate it, and transport it back to Xijing City for research. At the same time, sort out and upload all the information as soon as possible. I believe the People's Federation will not ignore this kind of thing."

Avenir lowered her eyes and said in a low voice.

"Be careful, this thing is probably very dangerous, and then tell the commander that she must send someone to strengthen the security around the temporary garrison. It is best to burn all the grass and shrubs, and contact each other immediately if any abnormality is found. By the way, its vitality is very tenacious, but these roots seem to be their weakness. In short, this thing is not strong individually, but it has excellent concealment ability and unexpected surprises. More importantly... I am afraid that there may be more than one of them."

Listening to Evenier's narration, Yanila's throat moved slightly.

"... Will our tunnel operations continue?"

"Of course we must continue, and quickly."

Evenier was categorical.

Because the matter of this woman has already delayed a little time, the battle cannot stop here, and the control of the underground tunnel and relay station must be obtained as soon as possible.

Otherwise, once the backup energy is used up, few people here will be able to leave alive.

Moreover, the movement of "dust" has basically disappeared, and Evenier believes that there will be no similar dangers here again.

but……

Evenier felt more and more that everything facing the former Sakagawa recapture operation this time might not be that simple.

The bad premonition has been lingering in my heart, but I can't get a glimpse of the whole picture.

38. Explore

The rain was like silk, and the leaden gray clouds piled up, entrenched in the sky like a giant mountain.

"Naoko, where did those things come from?"

"I don't know... In short, I can only leave it alone for the time being."

Facing Xue Nai's question about the weird woman and the huge tree root, it was the first time that Evenier didn't know how to answer this "informative" question.

Rather, no one has seen such a thing.

Including Yanila Si and Jiusheng Maki, they all showed solemn expressions at the strange tree roots parasitic on the woman's back.

Because of the appearance of the woman, strange clouds weighed on everyone's hearts.

But the task had to continue. After the woman's body was tightly isolated and stored, the soldiers quickly found a hidden passage leading to the underground tunnel near the location where the "mark" was disconnected-this was a maintenance entrance that remained.

To be precise, the tunnel maintenance entrance is not difficult to find, otherwise there would not be so many people going down here to avoid danger and disaster.But because no one took care of it for a month, the growth of plants and the collapsed greenhouse covered the entrance of the passage, so it took a little effort.

At this time, before the entrance——

With a loud noise, Efnir forcefully blasted away the entrance of the tunnel that was blocked from the inside.

Soldiers were tasked with measuring the concentration of oxygen and the presence of dangerous gases in the air, but luckily it turned out that there seemed to be a direct probe here.

Since this kind of underground tunnel that has been sealed for many years can maintain a certain amount of air circulation, it proves that there are likely to be other entrances here. This provides convenience for the cable laying team, but there are also potential dangers.

"Hurry up!"

The soldiers followed Efnir, carrying a large number of weapons and equipment, followed by Kite. At the same time, a few people were left on duty at the entrance of the tunnel.

"The engineering team checks the line, and everything is implemented according to the plan. Others, come to me first!"

Stepping into the tunnel, the team quickly left the influence of the "jammer".

Ordinary people are different from agents. Once they leave the "barrier", they will immediately produce "mutations" under the influence of erosive energy, and the rate of erosion in their bodies will inevitably rise. Once they are in a space full of erosive energy If they stay too long, they will be completely alienated and become residues.

This is the reason why the human beings of the old generation are retreating under the erosion phenomenon-even if they are not killed by the erosion body, the erosion energy will turn the human beings exposed to the erosion phenomenon into bloodthirsty monsters.

So, the time left for the soldiers is limited - but even so, they have no thought of backing down.

The sound of steady and dense footsteps echoed in the quiet tunnel, the halo of the tactical lights flashed across the wall, and the soldiers followed Avenir to explore ahead.

The turbid and dark air was filled with a moist and cold atmosphere, as well as a faint rotten stench. Obviously, many people died here--Evenir was very familiar with these smells, and she didn't know how to use a gas mask most of the time, just to Quickly distinguish the dangerous breath passing in the air.

"Is it the same as Feifina's report... Now turn off the light source and use the night vision device instead."

The lighting equipment of the engineering team hadn't kept up with it. Walking in from near the entrance, the vision became increasingly dim, but this did not affect the agent. The other soldiers wore night vision goggles in unison.

Not long after, Efnir, who was walking in the front, suddenly raised his fist and raised his hand, and the soldiers stopped in unison, leaning against the wall to guard.

"There may be enemies ahead, follow me and be vigilant."

There were long-dried bloodstains, some clothes, and canned food on the ground and walls, and there were a few withered yellow grass leaves in the corner.

This kind of thing can be seen in this kind of place where the sun is not seen all day long. If nothing else, the one or two plants of shallow grass are rooted and germinated from the plant seeds brought in from the soles of the victims' shoes.

These people took refuge here and lived for a short period of time, but they died without waiting for rescue.

Efnir didn't stop, and at this moment, several pitch-black figures standing in the darkness finally appeared in front of them. They fell into a deep sleep and showed no sign of waking up, and they seemed to have not noticed the team's visit.

"At least thirty... There seem to be more in the depths. It seems that this is the first gathering place."

Evenier simply counted the number and gestured to the soldiers behind him.

"The first battle."

An induction buzzer was thrown out, and at the moment of the huge noise, like a herd of beasts responding to the leader's call, waves of shrill sound came from the depths of the tunnel.

The well-trained soldiers immediately seized the opportunity, rushed out from the corner, raised the weapons in their hands, and at the same time burst into the depths of the tunnel.

For a while, gunshots and roars became the main theme of this underground tunnel.

……

Bullet holes left in the wall.

The gunfire lasted for 2 minutes, and the residue, like a fearless beast, hit the soldiers' bullets wave after wave, and then fell down.

Eventually, the area was cleared of debris in a short period of time.

No surprises—the small amount of residue doesn't pose much of a threat to soldiers with guns.

At this time, the engineering team also followed.

The corpses lying on the ground were soaked in gray matter's blood, Efnir squinted and stared at the white uniforms on those corpses for a long time.

Look at the clothes and tags on the corpse... there are symbols and words of the ICS Institute on it.

Are these people from the institute?

In this way, the woman who was parasitized by the roots of the tree also had this type of uniform.

The ICS Research Institute was established next to the maintenance entrance of this tunnel. It would make sense to say that most of the people who came to this tunnel to take refuge in the end were staff members of the research institute, but Evenier always felt that something was missing.

She kept an eye out, replaced the empty magazine in her hand, looked away, and gave an order.

"Keep going!"

……

This project left by the old generation is very strong.

Generally speaking, there are many kinds of dangerous situations that may occur in tunnels.

Landslides, collapses, stagnant water, toxic gases, and explosions are all hidden dangers that cannot be ignored, and this tunnel has been in disrepair for a long time, even more so.

Evenier still couldn't figure out why this old-generation tunnel wasn't left on the map.

Generally speaking, such major underground projects must be marked.

And, since no one knows about this kind of place, why do so many victims come here?

These details are easy to be overlooked. If she hadn't met the woman who was parasitized by the strange vine, Evenier would not have had much doubts, but now the sense of disobedience in her heart is getting stronger and stronger.

The team moved forward all the way to the second corner.

Obstacles piled up with a large number of stones and sundries appeared in front of them—there was a roar of debris from the depths beyond the obstacle. The original intention of these obstacles seemed to be to resist the invasion of debris, but in fact they were not Didn't work as it should.

"Preparation for blasting, looking for cover."

Evenier said.

"The rest are ready to fight!"

39. Tunnel

The interior structure of the tunnel is mainly linear, and this clean and simple architectural style has been inherited from the distant old age.

But 20 years later, this abandoned tunnel has not become dilapidated at all. It is obviously deep underground, and there is no obvious trace of damp and water in the tunnel. The wall treated with special coating can not be seen cracked. trace.

This is a very solid project.

The space inside the tunnel is very wide. Although it is an original civil project, it has a very high specification. A large number of cables and equipment have been laid. It seems that there is still a lot of room for renovation of engineering projects. Although the things left here are original civil equipment , due to the long storage time, many of them have been aged and damaged, but the various ready-made equipment can still come in handy.

After the outbreak of the white hole erosion event 20 years ago, more than 95% of human cities have become dead cities, and abandoned and destroyed cities have appeared on a large scale. The former Banchuan District is a satellite city selected to be built on the waste base of a dead city. Because this is a suitable farming land, it will be rebuilt, and this old-generation underground project will be left behind.

The above are all the information that Evenier obtained from the report written by Fengling Shiyin, and also the information that he summed up.

……

Kite and Avnir are responsible for guarding the intersection of the passage.

While the engineering team is at work, the deputies are on the lookout for possible erosion and at the same time hold back the occasional debris.

In front of the maintenance window not far away, the soldiers of the engineering team were working against the clock. The equipment and cables were extended on the ground until they disappeared at the corner tens of meters away.

At the end of the tunnel, a few scattered residues appeared with twisted bodies, and they were quickly spotted by the soldiers. The firepower of two heavy machine guns immediately covered them, smashing the residue into a sieve in the blink of an eye.

Ordinary residues don't need an agent at all, and the soldiers can easily deal with them. The two heavy machine guns that were brought down are very reliable.

Kite held the gun, and glanced cautiously at Evenier.

Evenier was leaning against the wall, with a chocolate bar in her mouth, and an assault rifle hanging on her waist. The long hooded coat on her body had not been taken off, and it slanted down half an inch from her shoulders, revealing milk-like smooth skin and the melee combat suit inside.

Unlike the tense-faced Kite, Evenier performed with ease. From time to time, he would look down at the electronic bracelet on his wrist, staring at the time and comparing the map to calculate the approximate distance.

In cities, this tactical auxiliary wristband can provide maps and positioning services in the city, which are derived from radar and signal base stations in the city, and can only be explored by yourself in areas outside Sakai.

"That...Miss Aveniel...the weather is not good today!"

In the quiet air came Tobi's faltering chatter.

But as soon as she finished speaking, she regretted it.

——Discussing today's weather in an underground dark tunnel where the sky can't be seen is a bit awkward, and it immediately revealed her desire to talk.

But Evenier obviously didn't realize Yuan's intentions, she just nodded in agreement: "Ah, it's indeed a little bit, so we have to continue to be cautious in the next journey."

As for the time of investigation outside Sakai, the rainy day is indeed not very lucky.
