Life as a mercenary turned into a girl is a bit difficult

boom!

boom!

……

Amid bursts of loud noises, dazzling light erupted at the impact point of these projectiles. The dim corridor was flooded with light at this moment. They filled every corner of the space, and even the shadows were expelled and cowered under the soles of their feet. .

Of course, there were more than just a few blinding bombs thrown. They continued one after another, and the strong light exploded again and again, leaving the corridor under the blinding influence almost all the time.

The tyrant, who had been hiding in the black smoke for a long time, would certainly not be harmed by such small means in his incorporeal state. However, the stimulation of loud noises and bright lights made her keen sense extremely irritated, as if she was being attacked by too many people. Even if you know it's harmless, you can't stand the lingering unpleasant feeling on the skin where insects have crawled.

In annoyance, the tyrant launched an attack. When the blood scythe passed by, a cold light suddenly appeared. It was a half-moon-shaped slash visible to the naked eye, like a solidified light, peeling off from the blood scythe blade that was swung through the air. Flying at extremely fast speed towards the target dozens of meters away in the direction in which the blade was swung.

There was no roar, no explosion, and no other abnormal phenomena. It was like a half-moon made of pure light sinking silently into the wall in front. The strange scene made the Orfanto soldiers responsible for throwing the blinding bombs stunned for a while. ,Then what?

After a pause of less than a few seconds, they took action again. When nothing happened, they immediately concluded that the terrifying existence on the opposite side seemed to be bluffing. The layers of defense they organized and the sacrifice of every comrade had accumulated. The bottleneck of victory.

But just when the soldier in charge of dropping the bomb was about to take the supplies from his comrades behind him, he suddenly found that the other party was looking at him with wide eyes and a look of astonishment.

How...uh!

Following the other party's line of sight, he discovered that his right hand had disappeared, leaving only an extremely smooth cross-section at the wrist, in which muscles, bones, blood vessels and other tissues were extremely smooth, almost making people think it was from a medical school. Used to teach students about exquisitely crafted medical models.

It's just that this so-called model was connected to his own arm. After a few seconds of calm, blood spurted out. The late severe pain woke up the soldier. He hurriedly held his broken arm with his other hand and tried to drain the blood. stop.

"Quick! Tourniquet! Tourniquet on me!"

The soldiers shouted to their comrades, but the other party just kept a stunned expression and stiff movements and turned a deaf ear to his cry for help.

"What are you doing standing there?! You..." The shouting stopped abruptly, because in front of him his comrade-in-arms slid smoothly towards the plate, or in other words, only his upper body moved, and the bloody cross section of his waist was just like his The soldier's wrist was as smooth as before, and then the soldier suddenly discovered that the cross-section of his teammate's waist and the cross-section of his own wrist seemed to maintain a straight line, and this line was exactly the route that the light arc passed through just now.

As if someone pressed some switch, the wall made of reinforced concrete fell apart like simply spliced ​​building blocks. The world in front of me was also clearly divided by a straight line at this moment.

There were more than a dozen corpses, and the blood soaked the entire corridor, slowly flowing towards the tyrant's feet. The tyrant, hidden in the black smoke, panted slightly, and she silently looked at the blood sickle in her hand as if thinking about something.

But Ofantuo obviously had no intention of giving her this period of time. The loud sound gradually came from far away. It came from neither the back nor the front of the corridor. At this time, his own perception actually conveyed a warning called 'danger'. .

on the top!

The tyrant quickly dodged and retreated backwards. The next second, a huge figure broke through the ceiling above his head and fell from the sky, hitting the spot where the tyrant had just stayed.

The offensive was not over yet, and dense bullets suddenly penetrated the walls on the left and right and struck at him. Countless dust densely exploded into countless debris on the wall. ,

The distance is too close!I didn’t even notice it!

The tyrant, who had not yet had time to stand firm from the previous dodge, had no time to hide in the smoke, and had to throw his body down close to the ground.

After the storm of scorching bullets passed just inches above his body, the tyrant finally turned his body into black smoke and drifted back, leaving a relatively safe distance.

what is that?

A huge black shadow behind the smoke and dust almost blocked the entire corridor. When the smoke and dust dispersed, the shape of the black shadow finally appeared. It was a huge bipedal mecha, equipped with multiple tubes on both sides. The barrel of the artillery sticks out from behind the dust.

Not only that, there were rapid sounds from the left and right sides. It was Ofanto's attempt to surround him. They saw their fatigue after breaking through the many defense lines. The black smoke that faded now was no longer enough to cover their bodies. All, if under such circumstances, we encounter such intensive fire attacks as before...

Unwilling to be reconciled... The hands holding the blood sickle in the black smoke were so clenched that they turned white. This was his second defeat since waking up, and he was still defeated by a human being whom he had always looked down upon. Compared to his last opponent, this time Failure made it even more difficult for her to accept.

Although the emotion was strong, the tyrant was not driven by anger. After realizing his own shortcomings, the tyrant made an immediate decision. Before the enemies on both sides launched a siege, the tyrant, wrapped in black smoke, quickly fled behind him.

Chapter 69 The absurd war continues

"You...are you really from the south?"

"If you are specifically referring to the south of Ofanto, then that is indeed the case." I don't know why this person named Buton seems to have been struggling with the issue of Hiiragi 'coming from the south', but he has been enduring it until now and finally can't help it. He started asking.

"Then...then...is there anyone else in the south besides you?"

"Of course." The more the other party asked Hiiragi, the more confused he became. However, considering that he was an important guide, Hiiragi still answered patiently, "Although the Southern Federation has not uniformly calculated population data, it is not difficult. In terms of the large and small settlements that have been counted, the total population of the six large city-states alone is about 100 million..." This shows how big the scale of Changming City is, and the total population of a city-state is already It accounts for half of the entire Southern Federation.

"One...one million?!" As if he was shocked by this number, Buton couldn't help but be surprised. The violent reaction immediately made the weak body cough violently, but Hiiragi had no choice but to stop and wait for the other party to slow down. Come on.

"Are there so many people?" After the coughing subsided, Buton murmured to himself again. Seeing his appearance, Hiiragi couldn't help but asked curiously, "Did you always think that the south of the NC ruined city was a vast no-man's land? "

"It's not just me who thinks..." Buton slowly raised his head, with an extremely complicated look on his face, "They said that to the entire Ofanto."

"them?"

"The military government." Buton took a deep breath and spoke slowly, "The enemy from the north used natural disasters to turn the entire south and the royal family into scorched earth. Behind us is the last edge of the human reachable realm. Our leader They are the last bloodline of the royal family... This is what they have been saying all along."

Hiiragi is not surprised by the statement that "the south of the NC ruined city is a no-man's land". Rather, it is a normal idea. Before knowing about Ofanto, everyone in the Southern Federation thought that the place where they lived was The last resting place of mankind.

I heard that in the years long before I was born, the pollution was much more serious than it is now. The Southern Federation was divided into several regions. People who were blocked from transportation and communication struggled in a more narrow environment. Each region The people on the block thought that they were the only remaining humans. It was not until the pollution subsided that the Southern Federation gradually became connected and became what it is today.

"Let's talk as we go," but the information behind Buton's words caught Hiiragi's attention. Although he didn't know the specific time, the contact between Southern Federal and Ofanto seemed to have started more than half a year ago. , how could Buton, who lived closest to the abandoned city of NC and was a leader of some kind of autonomous territory, not even hear the slightest news? In addition, Ofanto took the initiative to block the subway passage, which made Hiiragi convinced that Ofanto's military government was intentional. Concealing the existence of the Confederacy.

"What's going on with that enemy in the north?"

There are many enemies of mankind in the wasteland: mutants, walking corpses, monsters... But according to Bouton, the enemy seems to be a specific threat that exists in a certain general direction of Ofanto. It is a large-scale ruined city like NC. Abandoned city and nuclear wasteland?

"I remember it was a force called the 'Advancement Council'. A few years ago, the military government asked many southern dominions, including me, to provide troops to fight on the front line. I don't know how the war is going and whether the boys can come back in good health... "Buton, who realized that the topic was getting off track, quickly turned back, "They claimed to be inherited from the No. 11 Army Group deployed by the South Austrian Kingdom on the northwest front before the war. All military actions they took were to unify the old land of the South Austrian Kingdom... …”

Nanao Kingdom?

The appearance of this word touched some of Hiiragi Jing's memories. As early as the first time he became an operator, he saw it in a book about historical knowledge that he got from Han Nianling. This was a pre-war It is a rare medium-sized country in the world with a powerful monarch. The reason why I care about it is because the Southern Federation is located in the southeast of this country's territory. I and others may be descendants of the citizens of this country. Of course, for this country that has long been destroyed. In a country at war, Hiiragi has no so-called sense of belonging.

But other than that, Hiiragi didn't know anything about the other information in Buton's words.

"Promotion meeting? Your enemy is human beings?!"

A question once again involved a bunch of unintelligible nouns, and what shocked Hiiragi even more was that in this monster-infested wasteland world, Ofanto's enemies were actually fellow humans, and it sounded like a war between the two sides. It actually lasted for several years, and it was still under the threat of monsters... Apart from absurdity, Hiiragi couldn't think of any other feelings.

She was already hesitant to ask any more questions, fearing that more and more questions would pop up in the future. In fact, Bouton was also helpless. Many common senses that were well-known in Ofanto were completely unknown to this southerner, but he still While leading the way, he worked hard to organize a short answer: "A long time ago... when I was a child, I started to promote the meeting and started a war with Ofanto."

"Ofanto claimed that the advancing party was the descendant of the enemy country before the war, and the war was launched to continue the war and eliminate the last orthodox legal government inherited from the South Austrian Empire, and the king they supported was the last bloodline of the royal family of the South Austrian Kingdom. Other members of the royal family who were hiding from the war in the south all died in natural disasters..."

At this point, Hiiragi Jing finally understood why Ofanto tried his best to block the news about the Southern Federation. Not only Hiiragi Jing, but Bouton, who knew more information, had already thought clearly: In the propaganda of Ofanto's military government, they The political rationality comes from what they say is the only southern Austrian royal bloodline. If the south has not been turned into a so-called no man's land by natural disasters, it means that there is a high possibility of other royal heirs in the south. The Ofanto government's Political rationality will be impacted.

What is even more ridiculous is that the war that took place more than 100 years ago did not end with the destruction of human civilization. Whether it is true or false, it still continues to this day in the propaganda of both sides of the war...

But why?More than 100 years have passed. How much appeal does the name of the country more than 100 years ago still have today? If it weren't for the historical information given by Han Nianling, I would never know the so-called Nan'ao Kingdom... It's just... It's just a game of power fought by a group of people in the wasteland using humanity's few resources as bargaining chips.

Thinking of this, Hiiragi had the urge to return to the Southern Federation through the subway tunnel, but the whereabouts of both Ruoxiang and Hirakura were unknown, and the tunnel was already crowded with Ofanto's soldiers. It was simply unthinkable to want to go back.

How long has it been since you left Changming City?I wonder how Lingjiu and Han Nianling are doing?And how are Shang Shu’s sister Phil and the others doing?In an instant, thousands of thoughts flooded into his mind, and Hiei Jing, who had long been accustomed to a life of traveling around, suddenly missed that newborn city.

Chapter 70 An unexpected meeting

"Going through the emergency passage in front, I remember that next to the corridor after turning left is the transportation elevator area that can lead to the ground..."

After basically understanding Ofanto's information, Hiiragi restrained the idea of ​​continuing to ask questions. The most important thing now was to find Ruoxiang and unify the position and safely leave this heavily guarded underground facility.

The sirens that echoed throughout the facility attracted most of Ofanto's military forces, which was also an important reason why she and Buton walked for so long without encountering any obstruction, but this luck ended here.

"Who are you? Why didn't you go to the assembly area for emergency shelter when you heard the alarm?!"

The sound of hurried footsteps was heard, and an Orfanto soldier wearing a military uniform and holding a gun hurried past the corner in front. It seemed that he had been ordered to rush to the fiercely fighting front line. Hiiragi Jing, who was still distracted in conversation just now, Neither he nor Bouton noticed the approaching footsteps. Until then, they realized that it was too late to find shelter in the narrow corridor. They could only stand stiffly and wait for the other party to pass by in a hurry and not notice them.

Of course, such a fluke was in vain. The opponent was a healthy soldier rather than an e-sports player. The next second he ran through the corridor, he noticed something was wrong with his peripheral vision and immediately turned back and pointed his gun at Hiiragi Jing and Buton. people.

"Don't move! Hands up!"

In fact, Hiroyuki and Buton had already consciously raised their hands in a gesture of surrender before the soldier spoke. Faced with the black muzzle of the gun, Buton felt desperate. Escape was imminent, but he did not expect that an accident would happen here. But in his mind, he couldn't help but think of the scene of Hiroyuki kicking open the cell door, and his eyes suddenly drifted to the petite girl next to him.

Just as Buton thought, Hiiragi would not surrender just like that. She had already made a plan for how to deal with the situation when she bumped into Ofanto's soldiers. That was to use her appearance to pretend to cooperate and then suddenly At this time, the activation potion was still in its final stages, and there was only one soldier on the other side. If he were to capture him, he would not only obtain firearms, but also give Bouton a disguise.

"Huh? Call the headquarters. This is No. B6 of the third team. I found a prisoner who escaped from prison in the 1093 corridor area." Apparently the soldier immediately recognized the identity of the Buton prisoner after observing him. The walkie-talkie he brought reported that he was slowly approaching Buton and preparing to control him. As expected, he did not think Hiiragi Jing would be a threat, and Hiiragi Jing was waiting for this opportunity.

A chance for the other party to be unsuspecting and slowly approach her...

"boom!"

Just as Hiiragi was gathering all his strength to capture the Orfanto soldier when his back was turned to him, the next second, a burst of fire suddenly lit up in the corridor to the right, accompanied by a very close gunshot.

In Hiiragi Jing's eyes, a bright mist of blood suddenly exploded on the forehead of the Orfanto soldier, and the fragments of the skull penetrated by the bullet were scattered in all directions. The soldier who died immediately fell to the ground, and the soldier was stirred up like a paste. Red and white brain tissue flowed out from the gap pierced by the bullet, emitting a little white smoke as if cooked by the heat wave of the bullet.

The thing happened so suddenly that Hiroyuki and Buton stood there for a while, just staring blankly at the dead body on the ground, their minds went blank...

What happened? !

The sound of footsteps immediately woke the two of them up, and this time it turned out that two familiar figures appeared at the corner - nomads!The two figures were the two nomad members that Hiiragi had followed all the way from the Southern Federation to Ofanto.

The two nomad members should have killed many lone Ofantor soldiers. They were wearing the blood-stained military uniforms of ordinary soldiers, and they also had the weapons and firearms of Ofantor soldiers in their hands.

"Are you... prisoners here?"

Hu Jie and Han Cheng naturally heard what the soldier just reported to the intercom. The middle-aged man in front of them was thin and his hair and beard were extremely messy. The girl was dressed in dirty and tattered clothes, and her face was covered with dryness. The caked mud fits the image of a prisoner very well...

Knowing that the other party was not an accomplice of these soldiers, the two did not fire immediately, but the guns were still vigilant and did not move away from the two people. Seeing the hesitation in the two people's expressions, Hiiragi felt relieved and the other party did not recognize him. With his identity, thousands of spectators in the square used it to protect him. He was indeed too worried, and he immediately said: "You are slave workers who plan to escape in the chaos. We just escaped from the prison cell. Uncle, you are not Ofanto." Come and escape with us, my uncle knows this place very well and knows the way out."

The first sentence is to proactively give the other party a reasonable identity answer, and the following words not only show that they have no hostile attitude, but also reveal the information that "they understand the layout of this facility", for these two players For herdsmen, this is definitely an important value that prevents them from killing indiscriminately, and it also allows them to do their best to protect themselves in possible crises.

Sure enough, after hearing Hiiragi's speech, the nomads silently turned away from the gun. In fact, the two of them were troubled by this problem from the beginning. Because they were not familiar with the environment, they did not know where to go. Several times they tried to capture Hiiragi. Fantuo soldiers' attempts to ask for directions to the prisoners have put themselves in danger more than once. The soldiers here have extremely high fighting will and ability. They are most likely elite troops. If it weren't for the camouflage and alarm that caused this It is impossible for the two of them to make it this far with an area of ​​empty troops.

The two of them subconsciously looked at Buton as an adult.

"Yes, I understand the situation here, we can go out together..." Bouton did not deny the relationship between his uncle and niece that Hiiragi made up, not only because Hiiragi rescued him from the cell but also because of his keen Realizing that Hiiragi Jing saw the changes in the expressions of these two people, she must know their identities and it would be best for her to temporarily cooperate with them.

The affirmative reply made the two secretly relieved. Hu Jie hurriedly said: "There is no rush to go out. Do you know where the medical room is? One of our companions was taken away."

My companion... is Ruoxiang!Hiiragi suddenly became excited.

"Um..." Buton glanced sideways after hearing Hu Jie's words, and immediately responded after seeing Hiiragi Jing nod slightly, "Okay, come with me..."

The interaction between the two people was naturally seen by Hu Jie and Hu Jie. Hu Jie couldn't help but focus on Hiiragi Jing again. The master-slave relationship between this dirty girl and the skinny middle-aged man seemed to be more than a simple uncle and niece... …

However, Hu Jie did not delve into this. The most urgent thing was to take the witch and escape from here.

With a reliable guide, they no longer need to be like headless flies in the complicated corridors. It didn't take long for Hu Jie and Han Cheng to notice the 'medical room' and pointing arrows hanging on the wall on one side. The two looked at each other and their suspicions about Buton and Hiiragi were reduced by half.

Ruoxiang!

Pushing open the double doors at the end of the corridor, behind the door is a spacious ward isolated by glass. There are more than a dozen wards in the ward, and the familiar figure is lying on one of the beds.

Hu Jie walked quickly to the hospital bed and pushed Ruoxiang a few times, but the other party did not wake up. His steady breathing remained. He frowned and increased his strength impatiently, but Ruoxiang still had no response.

"I just took medicine, I think I fell asleep..." Bouton pointed to the unpacked medicine packaging box on the trolley beside the hospital bed, "I'll carry this little girl on my back. Let's get out first. We'll talk about it on the way. The safety of the two of you will be troublesome."

Buton's cooperation made Hu Jie and Han Cheng feel good about each other. The three of them immediately helped Ruoxiang to get up. Although Ruoxiang was weak, the weight of a teenage girl was not a problem for Ruoxiang to carry Buton on her back. They saw the three of them walking out one after another. Ward Hiiragi put the medicines on the cart into her leg bag.

Hiiragi was a little surprised that Ofanto provided treatment to Ruoxiang, but it was reasonable. Even if he didn't know the identity of the witch, Ruoxiang's appearance alone was worthy of Ofanto's special care.

"Boom boom boom!!!"

Before leaving the ward, the ground beneath their feet suddenly shook violently with the sound of a huge explosion. The four people's hearts skipped a beat and their steps suddenly accelerated.

Chapter 71 Ofanto’s deployment

More than a dozen reinforced concrete support columns with a diameter of several meters support a huge space hundreds of meters deep underground. Even if it is a high-standard football match here, the area is more than enough, but even it is so messy. The various equipment displayed here and the hurried flow of people still make the place seem a bit crowded. Because of the attackers, key departments and manpower of all sizes had to be temporarily cramped here.

Everyone is busy, and even if they deliberately lower their voices during communication, the intertwined sounds of many conversations still make the indoor space seem noisy.

The only exception is a special glass room located in the center of this space. It is made of a large number of steel support structures and countless one-way bulletproof glass. It is more than ten meters above the ground and you can overlook this space from here. Any corner.

Normally, Ronolin wouldn't mind making a cup of coffee, standing in front of the glass, and looking at the crowds of people walking around like ants all day long. In other words, this is actually what she does most often. This is the only way to spend the boring and long time here in this dark underground space.

Although the First Prince attaches great importance to this facility, after all, it needs to be hidden from the eyes of other nobles, and the funds and manpower that can be invested are very limited. Otherwise, these residents of the Dominion who are nominally subordinate to Ofanto will not be directly arrested. As a slave worker, you need to spend a lot of money, and the limited funds are already tight, let alone how much you can invest in insignificant entertainment methods.

Several dilapidated pool tables and a terminal with some simple pre-war game software downloaded are already considered special treatment for her, one of the top leaders of the facility. In just three months, the pool table has been installed in the high school. The tablecloth was severely damaged due to intensive use. After the game on the terminal lost its freshness, it became a mechanical movement that lacked fun and just kept refreshing numbers.

She thought that like everyone else who stayed here, she would be forgotten in this dark underground, repeating the exploration and excavation work day after day until the results were discovered or the day she was remembered by the prince. What she didn't expect was that it would be so boring. Life unexpectedly had an unexpected episode - this place was attacked!

Although it's not nice to say this, she did feel...excited by this sudden attack, intensely excited!Finally, these days that were so boring that every bone was moldy became interesting.

As soon as the alarm sounded, she rushed to the weapons warehouse as quickly as possible to get her personal equipment. However, her high interest quickly took a turn for the worse before it lasted, just because the Tao seemed to have predicted her actions in advance. The figure blocking the elevator entrance...

"Alas..." He deliberately added some intensity to his sighing voice to ensure that everyone in the room could hear his dissatisfaction. However, everyone in the room turned a deaf ear to it. In the past 10 minutes, this was the case. They had heard the sighs no less than twenty times and were already accustomed to it. They were all aware of Luo Nuolin's temperament. Compared with the dozens of display screens covering the entire wall, they were the most concerned about it.

"The pictures fed back from various surveillance systems have basically been confirmed: the attacker came from inside the subway, and there was only one person. It was initially determined that the identity was...'Witch', that should be the name...but its characteristics did not match any of the attackers. The recorded characteristics of the witch, this is the first individual to appear in the territory of Ofanto..."

The young man wearing glasses and a windbreaker was reporting to the middle-aged officer wearing a large-brimmed military hat who was standing in front of the monitoring screen. While speaking, the young man could not help but look at the display screen on the wall. At this time, what was displayed on the largest screen in the center was the battle scene of the witch fighting three 'Guards' type powered armors.

The camera angle is located on the ceiling, so it is enough to cover most of the battle. In the picture, three soldiers wearing 'Guard' type power armor are launching the fiercest siege against the witch.

The technology and armor materials carried by the 'Guard' type power armor are not produced by Orfanto's military industry level. They are modified based on the most advanced AC21 type power armor from the pre-war Kingdom of South Austria.

Although it was modified to adapt to the apocalyptic environment that was completely different from that before the war, in fact it was because most of the equipment and technology installed on it exceeded the level that the current level of Orfanto's military industry could maintain. For this reason, Orfanto had to Many of the more advanced technical equipment on the power armor were removed and replaced with relatively backward technical levels mastered by Ofanto.
