A few lone monsters gathered along the way, and the four of them basically didn't waste any extra time, and they came to a relatively open platform, which was twisted and laid with huge pipes, maybe ventilation pipes or something.

"Woo woo woo ......"

The child's cry was loud and muffled.

Lloyd took a closer look around, the empty platform was just piled up with unused building materials. There is no place for the little ones to hide. Staring at the entrance to the black hole of the pipeline that connected to the platform, Lloyd breathed a sigh of relief. It seems to have caught up.

"Oh, you're hiding in a place like this." Randy smiled and walked towards the entrance of the pipe, which was 2 sub-high, and even a tall man like Randy could easily get in. "Yo, anyone?" Randy said in a relaxed tone.

Some are not serious enough. However, at this time, this relaxed tone often relaxes the child who has been scared.

"Hey...... You, you are ......"

The little boy was visibly calm, but his voice was visibly still shaking.

"We're cops, don't worry!" Lloyd said as he walked into the pipe.

He knows very well that if a person has been in a state of high tension and fear, and suddenly settles down, he will not be able to act according to his heart for a certain period of time, and his body will tremble unconsciously. Especially small children.

"Wow, ah, ah, ah......"

The boy who knew that he had been rescued could no longer hold back and cry.

Randy and Theo stand at the entrance, and Lloyd and Ellie enter the pipes together. Although there is some slope, it is relatively easy to pass, but there are no anti-slip measures, which is a bit troublesome. The two men walked cautiously forward, listening to the louder and louder cries in their ears as Ellie to Lloyd

"Okay, okay, scared, huh?" Ellie's voice was kind and gentle, and she hugged the boy as she spoke. "But it's okay, my brothers and sisters will be with you."

Hearing Ellie's voice, the boy's mood began to stabilize, and he hummed softly.

"My brothers and sisters have wiped out all the terrible monsters outside. Hold me tight, let's get out of here. ”

"No, no problem...... I can ...... alone," and the boy stood up tremblingly, a little trembling, but he did stand up on his own legs.

"Hehe, what a man." Ellie smiled encouragingly. "What's your name?"

"I—My name is Henry." The boy's tongue is still a little knotted. Holding Henry's hand, the three of them walked out of the pipe.

When they reached the open platform, everyone breathed a sigh of relief that the boy Henry was not injured.

"So, Henry, why are you here?"

Ellie asked as she patted the dirt off Henry's body. Although the pipes are cleaned, there is still a lot of dust due to the spacing problem.

"I, we played with the big clock in the square, opened a lid, found a ladder, and ......" seemed to think of the previous experience, and Henry was a little about to cry again.

"Wait a minute?! You say 'we'? Did anyone else come in as well? Lloyd was keen to spot the keyword.

"Yes, yes, coming here to explore, it was actually my friend Takashi's suggestion, and we got separated when we ran into a terrible monster on the way...... Woowoo woo ......"

Henry said, sobbing again.

Lloyd touched his chin and pondered. According to common sense, the child should be sent back to the ground first, but in this way, it not only distracts the combat power, but also increases the difficulty of rescuing Takashi. Rather than this, it is better to take this child with you. The boy's weight, even if Ellie is a woman, can hold him for a while, and both Ellie and Theo are long-range combatants who can protect Henry well.

"So, Henry, can you go with your brothers and sisters to save your friends for the time being?" Lloyd asked, crouching down.

"Why don't you send him away first?" Theo had a questioning look on his face.

Lloyd nodded and said, "That's right, every second counts now, and it is not a good strategy to disperse the combat power." ”

Henry also understood what Lloyd meant, and nodded firmly.

"Then Ellie, he'll leave it to you for protection."

"Well, understood. I'm not going to let the beast get close to him. ”

The assignments were briefly distributed, with Lloyd at the front, Theo Ellie protecting Henry and following him at a distance, and Randy a little further behind them.

If there is a Warcraft raid, then, at least the people in the middle have a long reaction time, and it is the safest.

Walking through a downward corridor, you can basically see the iron plate at the bottom, and the huge pipe is tied into an even larger pipe, passing through the platform under everyone's feet. The platform also began to appear from the solid steel plate, and the hollowed-out wire layer began to appear, and below it was a huge fan who didn't know what to do.

Passing through a door, I faintly heard a child's voice: "Don't, don't come here!" ”

"Oops!" Lloyd, who was at the front, immediately ran up, and the people behind understood that another child was in front.

Opening the door, the child who was forced to the platform by five slime-like things stepped back while shouting "Goddess Edes, help". Seeing that the situation was not good, Lloyd shouted, "Ellie, get their attention!" In a sprint, the whole person stepped on a slime monster and protected the boy in front of him.

Ellie, who arrived later, didn't say much, and immediately gave each monster a shot.

Dealing with this slimy monster is difficult to take effect with conventional physical combat methods. The attack effect of the guide gun is also minimal. However, whether or not they can cause harm is one thing, and whether they can arouse their anger is another.

The lower the level of the Demon Beast, the more it will divert its attention from trivial matters. Being attacked during predation can be said to be the most hated thing for low-level Warcraft. Ellie's actions just now had completely angered them.

The slime monster moved slowly, and although the five of them walked towards Ellie together, she didn't hurry to take out Anigema. Unlike Lloyd's Earth and Theo's Water Attribute, Ellie's Enigma has a central loop hole that is a limitation of the wind attribute, and the formation of a cyclone or electric current is the basic manifestation of wind magic.

A cyan glow appeared, and Ellie's hand was faintly glittering with electricity.

Of course, the demonic beast also knew its threat, and the blue light of the core in the center of the slime flashed, and a cloud of cold air erupted from the core, directly freezing its own external slime, as if it was frozen and opaque.

Ellie's lightning struck it, making a crackling sound, but to no avail.

"What!" Ellie panicked, this situation was not what she expected.

The icy air mass quickly freezes the mucus, and the impurities-filled ice effectively prevents the conduction of electrical currents to the core. Although the combat effectiveness is not strong, it is a monster struggling to survive, and it still has its own way of dealing with certain situations.

"Aren't you looking for death!" Randy roared, stomping on the floor, and the whole person flew to his feet, the huge axe gun slashing from the bottom up.

If it's a viscous liquid, of course, it can be dispersed by spreading the enemy's attack conduction, but if it's a hard block of ice, the only result is to be smashed against Randy's strong force.

There was no doubt that the slime monster was knocked away by Randy's blow and shattered in midair, and the shards of the Seven Jewels in its body fell to the ground like a light rain.

Theo also ran to the front, and with a wave of his wand, several purple balls of energy flew out of the channeling device at the head of the wand and hit the slime beast, making a Zrazra sound. This attack was so effective that the slime with a shattered core turned into a stream of blue-purple light and vanished.

The Epstein Foundation's newly developed weapon, the Magic Staff, is a weapon that can convert the guiding force into a magical attack. Moreover, with special treatment, this attack does not have attributes. No matter what resistance the monster is, it can exert considerable combat effectiveness.

Solve the battle unexpectedly quickly.

The crowd breathed a sigh of relief again. Henry hurriedly ran to Long's side and asked worriedly, "Long, are you okay?" Didn't get hurt, right? ”

Although the child named Long was still trembling in his legs, he still insisted and said, "It's all right, but you're really lucky." You're so sluggish, I want to save you. ”

"You also said that you don't have to go underground to explore......"

"You, what do you say, aren't you the first to say you're going to come in?"

"But, but I didn't say I really wanted to come in......"

Listening to the quarrel between the two children, Lloyd and the others were finally really relieved. Finally, the two children were saved perfectly. Lloyd calmed down and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead - he was really shocked to see this kid named Long being besieged by demonic beasts.

"Alright, alright, let's stop here first for the quarrel." Seeing that the two men had no tendency to stop, Lloyd opened his mouth to play a round.

The two children looked at Lloyd together, and Henry bowed his head apologetically and apologized: "Yes, I'm sorry." ”

Long said hello familiarly: "Hey, it looks like my brother and sister are very raw." Although it looks quite strong, it's still a newcomer, right? ”

With this self-familiar attitude, it is completely impossible to tell that he has just been attacked by a demonic beast.

"Really, what an arrogant little ghost." Randy sighed, this kind of little adult-like child is the hardest for him. You and him are not serious, and you feel uncomfortable if you don't refute it. "We saved your life, so why don't you thank you first?"

Hearing Randy say this, Long also felt that what he was doing was not quite right, smiled embarrassedly, and said, "Hehe, forget it, thank you for saving me." Although the situation is critical, I am not injured, so you can be considered qualified. ”

Without a word, Long replied to the tone of a little adult.

"Haha, we'll keep trying." Lloyd replied with a smile. After all, Long wasn't wrong, they were newcomers, and they really weren't good enough. For example, accidental injury or something.

"Still, it's okay. Let's get out of here. Ellie also laughed and played the round. I walked a lot in this gloomy scene, and I longed for the sunshine extraordinarily. Although there are lights here, it is not too dark, but it is really not worth mentioning compared to the sun.

Theo looked at his surroundings and said to Lloyd, "Looks like this is the end." Further on, there is a guide elevator that can go straight back. The section chief's task is accomplished. ”

Lloyd looked, and sure enough, on the other side, there was a gate. However, the door shows that it is under lockdown. I'm afraid I'll have to go back the way I came.

Randy whistles and holds the axe over his shoulder. "Then let's send the imps back and report to the police headquarters." Then I went back to the dormitory to take a shower, and then lay down in bed and read two pages of magazines that I couldn't read in front of other people.

Of course, he didn't say the last two items. After all, there are children here, and it is better to say less if it damages the image of the police.

It doesn't matter how casual you are in front of your colleagues, you still have to make a minimum image in front of outsiders. That's Randy's work credo.

Hearing this, the two boys looked at each other.

Sensing something was wrong, Lloyd asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Hearing Lloyd's question, Long asked with a subtle expression: "That, big brother...... You should be new, right? ”

Lloyd reconfirmed, a little strangely, "That's right." How do you know, though? And we didn't wear police uniforms? ”

"Uniforms, uniforms?" Takashi's expression became more subtle.

"Well, big brother, aren't you from the Association?" Henry asked cautiously.

Although Lloyd was a little embarrassed, "Eh......" admitted: "We are policemen, not guerrillas." ”

"Oops!" The two children exclaimed together. Long even asked directly, "Lie!" Why would the police come to such a place? The words were filled with deep disbelief.

"Actually, we were here on a mission, and we happened to find you." Lloyd answered them honestly. Although he would not be found even if he lied to the two children and said, "We are here to search and rescue you", he still chose to tell the truth.

In the city of Crossbell, the incompetence of the police is well known.

"How is this possible! When it comes to the police, aren't they notoriously cowardly and incompetent?! Takashi looked incredulous. Not only is he arrogant, but he can't help with anything, that's what Dad said. When it mattered, the guerrillas were a hundred times more reliable than them. ”

All four members of the Special Mission Support Section fell silent at the same time.

The image of the police officer Crossbell is terrible, which is known to all four. It's just that being said so openly by a child made the mood of the four of them a little heavy.

Seeing that the brothers and sisters who saved him were a little depressed, Henry hurriedly pulled Long's sleeve and reminded, "Long, you are too rude." Although they were policemen, they saved us after all. ”

"That's right...... However, I thought I was saved by the guerrillas......" Takashi's expression was complicated.

It's hard for adults to understand this mood, and if it's a rookie guerrilla who saves you, then it will become a very hot topic among children of the same age. Because of the incompetence of the police community, the guerrillas in the Crossbell area work three to five times more than their other colleagues, which can be said to be very busy. Although the children knew that the guerrillas were "super-reliable people who could solve all problems", they rarely interacted with them.

If you announce to them that you have been rescued by guerrillas, it will ostensibly be a negative message, but you will soon be greeted with "Wow, have you ever seen a guerrilla?!" "Something like that.

However, now it is found that it is not the guerrillas who saved him, but the synonym of cowardice, the police......

Randy raised an eyebrow, "Looks like he's in a mixed mood." ”

As he said this, Randy suddenly felt a strange feeling. The ability called the sixth sense instilled danger signals in his brain.

"Danger!" Randy pulled the two children behind him, and the three of Lloyd immediately took attack positions, looking in other directions to avoid being raided.

Just over where the five of them came, the wall seemed to be covered with a wall of water, and then slowly converged into a huge slime demonic beast on the wall. Although Lloyd and his party had defeated a lot of slime monsters before, they were only the size of children. And this one is the size of seven or eight adults.

Probably the leader. Lloyd secretly said no. The volume of Warcraft is often proportional to its combat power, and the larger the size of Warcraft, the stronger its combat power. Of course, there are also Warcraft that have high combat effectiveness, but are very small.

The slimy monster has a considerable degree of resistance to all kinds of attacks, and at this size, I'm afraid that the strength of four people can't defeat it. The more Lloyd analyzed, the more solemn his expression became.

Long and Henry let out frightened noises and couldn't stop backing away.

Bad...... In that case, it will all be destroyed...... The door behind it was locked, and there was no way to escape. The road in front was blocked by a huge demonic beast. There are also two children behind him, because the nerves have been tense just now, and now the body has begun to send signs of tiredness.

It doesn't get any worse than that.

Lloyd calmly analyzes all the possibilities, but there are not many feasible paths......

What if you can't save everyone in a desperate situation?

Lloyd's answer was: Then save as many people as possible.

Lloyd took a deep breath and made a gesture of preparation.

"Hey, Lloyd, we can't defeat him with our current equipment!" Seeing this, Randy immediately reminded his companion not to get angry. There is only one life, and with full blood, you can defeat an enemy who is far stronger than yourself, which can only appear in novels and comics, and the reality is very cruel.

"I understand!" Lloyd shouted, his eyes fixed on his enemy. "I'm here to get this thing's attention! Find a way to escape! ”

By shouting loudly and unleashing hostility to attract the beasts, Lloyd's plan was clear.

If you can save the other five people just by sacrificing yourself, it will be a good deal.
