Hero Association Brusseline City Branch

"The latest news, the damage to the town of Bobia has reached forty percent, and due to the timely evacuation of personnel, there are no reports of civilian casualties," a short-haired woman with thick-rimmed glasses is reporting in front of a giant magic screen, "According to the available information, the level of the White Marks is at least a "nightmare"! Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Behind her, a bearded man with his hands on his chest looked solemnly at the constantly beating magic guide screen and said, "The route of the calamity has this city, right?" Linda, immediately issue a disaster level warning to the surrounding associations and towns. Lightspeed fencers, are they withdrawing?".

"I'm sorry, but the Lightspeed Fencer lost contact in Colin City. Hanks, you know better than I do how much of an A-Class with a couple of B-Classes can play in the face of "nightmares", don't you? I have sent a search and rescue team to the affected areas, since the established facts cannot be changed, it is only to pray for their good luck, and now our main task is to prepare for the rescue of the sick and wounded, as well as the resettlement of the victims, and the BFIPU expects that nearly 10,000 victims will come to the city to evacuate one after another. However, if you send two S-class heroes, will you be able to successfully eliminate the White Trace?" as she spoke, Linda, who frowned slightly, pointed to the city of Brusselline on the map in her hand, and kept pointing, "If things come to the worst." Here, the Kingdom Guard on the outskirts of Brusselin will cooperate with us in our final defensive battle. With that, Linda dropped the information in her hand, picked up the communicator, and began to release the news.

"Linda, don't be so serious. Realizing that the subordinate in front of him was a little too serious, Hanks, as the person in charge, felt that he needed to calm the tension of his subordinates. So Hanks, who had a "righteous" face, put a hand on the waist of the female subordinate who was not smiling, and comforted: "Don't worry." You have to believe Reggie and Alvin, they are the elite of this world, and for the "nightmare", it should be enough for Reggie alone. ”

Seeing that Linda did not overreact as before, Hanks, who felt that there was a play, continued quietly: "As a newcomer, Alwyn, let her go out on a mission to exercise and train her, so that she can adapt to the "Nightmare" level battle as soon as possible. And it can also alleviate the association's recent tight food budget, you see how perfect. So put your heart at ease and smile more, no one dares to chase such a cold one. ”

Linda glanced at the groping hand around her waist and took it away, then turned around and made the unscrupulous branch head deeply embedded in the wall of the command hall with a beautiful heart-wrenching leg, and Linda, who had done all this, only slightly pushed down her glasses and lowered her head to sort out the messy information. And the other staff around him didn't care about the work at hand.

――――――

Walking on the familiar and unfamiliar country road, Xia Zhe somehow missed the old steel jungle, missed the world of flowers, and of course, the figures that took a lot of effort to put together.

Raising his hand to block in front of him, the forest under the sunset was covered with an unreal layer of yellow, which was so dreamy.

Eh, it seems to have seen some kind of disgusting hallucination—Uncle Jim's lewd smile.

"Yo! Isn't this Xia Zhe, such a coincidence! I haven't seen you go out for two weeks! Your Aunt Susan has been looking for you for a long time, and I can't see you anymore, so I don't want to sleep back in that soft big bed tonight." Hehe, Uncle Jim doesn't want to sleep in the kitchen, the floor is too hard, I can't stand it. If you don't come back with me tonight and talk to your aunt, it won't be very long. ”

After walking briskly for a short while, Xia Zhe found that the illusion was still following him like a shadow. "The illusion of a sunset is always so real. With a decisive kick to kick away the illusion in front of him, Xia Zhe accelerated the pace of going home.

――――――

The afterglow of the sunset had not yet dissipated, and after laboriously opening the wooden door with several large locks, Xia Zhe returned to his reassuring nest and began to prepare dinner. Maybe it's because I've been alone for too long, and the whole house looks like a mess. Whether it's piles of clothes, miscellaneous items everywhere, or messy tables, chairs and benches, all of them reflect a weird postmodernist style.

For a long time before, he could only live on bread for some reason, and Uncle Jim was the only bakery in the town, so the long endless bread hell tormented poor Xia Zhe like a nightmare, and finally he couldn't stand it in order to escape from hell, so he had to risk being caught by Aunt Susan, and sneaked into the depths of the forest to beat a giant beaked bird to open the meat, which is why he had to wash one more piece of clothing tonight, and he didn't know if he could wash it.

The cranky Xia Zhe grabbed the only remaining firewood, and was very melancholy in his heart: "Why would I biu~ go to this kind of place for no reason, I didn't save any little girl crossing the road, I didn't knock over the water cup while playing with the computer, and I didn't see such a magical thing as flying stones from the sky, and now I don't have fire, how can I eat meat! Damn bread! I'm messing with someone." "Hysterical grumbling was heard from the old hut.

Time passed quickly, and the sun slowly disappeared into the earth.

However, just as people were about to sit down and feel the warmth of the next day's work, a very discordant radio sound came from the clock tower in the square in the center of the town, which instantly broke the original peace here: "Emergency Evacuation Alert! Attention the townspeople of Tutchi Town! Emergency Evacuation Alert! Please activate the emergency evacuation measures in Tuchi Town, and immediately go to the north to evacuate to the city of Brusselin! The "White Trace" of the calamity that caused great damage to the cities of Colin, Bok, and Bobia is advancing towards the town of Tuch. In view of the further escalation of the damage of the "White Trace", the Association has released the latest "Calamity" level verdict, which is: Nightmare!

After several radio broadcasts, the town fell silent, and it seemed as if time had suddenly stopped in Tutch Town, and even the usual bustling old boot bar was silent. And after this eerie silence, screams, fear, and chaos unsurprisingly befell all corners of this remote town.

"What about the Hero Association, aren't they supposed to destroy the Calamity, why is the Calamity still coming here!"

"Mother, get out of the cupboard, put down the shovel, take the coins, and we'll leave for Brusseline!"

"For so many years, there are still calamities that will visit us..."

"Ahh

"Damn! We're done! Run!"

Xia Zhe, who listened to the radio several times, was a little confused, but his first reaction was that the big horn could really sound. The second reaction was that dinner was probably going to be yellow.

Xia Zhe, who had no sense of crisis, found that it seemed that since his second year of blood cooled down, nothing was attractive to him, and he couldn't do anything. Numbness and indifference took over his heart, like the loss of something very important.

"Is this the highest state of eating and waiting for death?"

At this moment, Uncle Jim's hearty laughter came from the window: "Hahaha! Xia Zhe! Thank you for that kick in the afternoon, the old problem on my waist doesn't seem to hurt so much." And the calamity is coming, hurry up and pack up your things and leave here with us, your aunt has already said hello to York and left three seats, and the steam car will not wait for you if it is late! It just so happens that the girl arranged by your aunt is also sitting next to us, so you can have a good chat in the car. I'm done with the task, so I don't have to worry about sleeping in the kitchen. Hahaha. ”

"I won't go on a blind date again if I am killed!Especially on that kind of broken copper and iron!" Xia Zhe roared angrily at the window, at this time, what numbness and indifference are left aside, you must not compromise on this matter, otherwise you will not be able to live this day.

"Can you not introduce me to the kind of female men who are five big and three thick, they can all fight the calamity alone!" Xia Zhe shook his head hard, wanting to quickly throw the shadow out of his head, he didn't want to have the nightmare of being held in the arms of a female monster at night.

Suddenly, it seemed to him that even if he faced the horrific calamity now, it might be much easier than facing Aunt Susan's smile.

Xia Zhe, who was extremely entangled, opened the window and looked at the familiar faces who had fled the town with the chaotic bags, there was no more peace and laughter in the past, there was only endless fear and despair. Xia Zhe even saw the clerk of Xiwa, who usually regards his demeanor as his life, and actually revealed a cute pink yukata in that messy clothes, and his usually meticulous fake discovery was just hanging on his head at random, and it is estimated that when the incident subsides, this experience will be the biggest stain in the clerk's life.

Looking at the swarm of people pouring out of the town, the name "Calamity" made Xia Zhe re-examine the definition of this term for this world, and what he saw with his own eyes was always more convincing than hearsay. Of course, this also reminded Xia Zhe of the calamity he encountered in the afternoon, as well as the big guy he met a long time ago. Because he had too little information at hand, he couldn't compare it in more detail. Maybe the organization "Hero Association" can be a good answer to his doubts.

Turning his head to look at the steam cars outside the town, the square shells could be seen in large chunks of gray-black metal exposed after the paint had fallen off due to the time constraints. The protruding front of the car rises slightly, as if it will overturn at any moment. Even so, this steampunk-inspired vehicle still feels reliable.

However, in this reliable tool, the crowded scene is really even more unscientific than the Ah San. "Oh my God! they're still adding a trailer body to the rear of the car, maybe these guys like the feeling of bumps" Seeing that the crowd who hadn't yet squeezed into the steam car actually pulled out the body, Xia Zhe sighed excitedly.

In less than half an hour, the town of hundreds of old and young masters became empty, and the town with lights on at night suddenly became gloomy, like a ghost town.

The listless Xia Zhe was hungry and tried his best to stuff the things that needed to be taken away into the duffel bag, but downloading a lot of miscellaneous things has become the biggest obstacle to the small duffel bag, and now he thinks that the things that he doesn't use should be thrown away.

Until the duffel bag was filled, Xia Zhe trotted all the way out of the town and moved towards the location of the steam cars. At the same time, several stupid black coarse cars parked on the side of the road emitted thick black smoke also roared.
