1416 "Mutants"
Air Combat Wizard Section, Section Chief's Office.
At this point in the evening, the office was unexpectedly packed.
In addition to Fron, who is an air combat wizard, there are three people here.
These three people are the three members of the secret service team who are standing at the apex of "Micher Heights"———— Chloy, the other side, and Yuri.
At this point, the three of them were called here and lined up in front of Furlong.
And the reason for being called here is simple.
"Frequent attacks by small magic beetles?"
After hearing about this from Fron's mouth, all three of them in the room frowned.
"That's right." Furon nodded expressionlessly and said, "Recently, there have been frequent small demon beetle groups breaking into the air defense circle of 'Mistergang', although each group is not strong, but the frequency of attacks is very high. ”
That seems to be the reason why Fron called the Secret Service Squad over.
In other words, in response to this matter, Fron wanted to discuss countermeasures with the people of the special team.
It's just that...
"It's just a small demon beetle attack, do you need to send a special team?"
The other side said such things with some skepticism.
Although he does his own thing and is not as capable as Chloy, he is actually a person with a very high fighting instinct, and if he is faced with a battle or crisis situation, he can usually use the agile thinking that others do not expect, and construct tactics and ways of action that others cannot imagine.
Therefore, don't look at the other party's appearance of being a hanger, in fact, he is unexpectedly very good at analyzing the situation, and when facing a critical situation, he can often exert a stronger ability than Chloy.
Therefore, the other party may have smelled the danger and realized that things are not so simple, right?
After all, the Micher Heights are currently sailing on a route far from the mainland, and the patrol path is not dangerous, although it is impossible to avoid the attack of the demon beetles that have long been scattered all over the world, but at best, as Fronn said, the attacking groups are not very strong, relying on the daily patrol and sentry squad, it should be enough to deal with it.
Even if the attacks were frequent, if nothing happened, Fron would never have summoned the special squad, and that's what the other side thought.
Sure enough...
“...... The D-class team that was out on the night sentry mission last night had lost contact and was completely undetectable. ”
Fronn was silent for a while, and then said the same thing with a blank face.
“......!”
The expressions of the other party, Chloy, and Yuri suddenly tensed.
"I see..."
Chloe looked sad.
"Have there already been victims?"
Yuri bit her lip as well.
When there are victims, it is already a very serious situation.
Not to mention...
"In the final contact, the leader of the D-class team sent a final message, and the word "mutant" was mentioned in the message."
Fron's explanation only told everyone what the real reason for summoning the special agent team was.
"Is there a mutation?"
The other side showed a grim look.
"No wonder we need to call in a special squad..."
Chloe was also stunned.
Demon beetles are not the same, but are divided into different types according to their characteristics and levels.
In general, there are small, medium, and large beetles.
The threat of small magic beetles is not big, even in the past, ordinary air combat magicians can easily deal with it, not to mention that now after Luo Zhen's influence, magic guide technology has improved greatly, even the weakest air combat magicians can easily deal with a group of small magic beetles, this level of magic beetles usually rely on numbers to win, and the strength of a single body is not outstanding.
Medium-sized magic beetles are different, whether it is size, strength or attack methods, compared to small ones, they are far above it, and even according to different individuals, there are also melee types, long-range combat types, artillery types, etc., ordinary air combat magicians can't deal with it, only a squad above D level can deal with this level of magic beetles.
As for the large demon beetle, it is already an existence of another dimension, not only has an extremely large size, but also the strength is extraordinary, among which there is even a mother-type demon beetle that can specially breed the demon beetle and carry the demon beetle's legion, just one of them may threaten a floating city, and most of the floating cities that have been destroyed so far have fallen into the hands of such a demon beetle, which can be called a major threat to mankind.
However, this is not the most threatening magic beetle.
The most threatening demon beetles are individuals who have mutated in the form of the above demon beetles, and have acquired terrifying properties, characteristics, or powers.
That's the mutant, the biggest threat to humanity.
The simplest example is that among the currently known mutant demon beetles, there are individuals who have evolved a high degree of intelligence and have the ability to command magic beetles.
This shows how much of a threat they pose to humanity.
Yuli hurriedly asked.
"Are the variants that appear medium-sized?"
Generally speaking, medium-sized magic beetles are more prone to mutation, and small magic beetles have little chance of mutating.
As for the large magic beetles, they are very rare in their own right, and the chance of mutation is also very low.
Therefore, the medium-sized variant of the Demon Beetle is more common, and it is not too threatening.
Unfortunately, Yuri was disappointed.
"According to the analysis of the Intelligence Technology Section, the mutant species that appeared this time should be large, and it has a high level of intelligence, and the small demon beetle group that is frequently attacking now is estimated to be the cannon fodder sent to detect, and the D-class team last night should be annihilated by it."
Fron spoke in a heavy tone about this fact.
"This..."
Yuri was speechless.
"A large demon beetle mutant..."
"That's enough to threaten the survival of the floating city, and it's really a tricky situation."
Chloe and the other side also thought for themselves.
"I've summoned you here this time to get you ready." "If the Intelligence Technology Section can successfully detect the traces of the large mutant, then we need to attack and annihilate it before it gets close to the 'Misterhill'. ”
And to deal with large mutants, the attack of the special service team is inevitable.
"You are the trump card of 'Mistergang', so this matter has only been notified to you for now, don't spread it casually, so as not to cause unnecessary panic."
Fron instructed.
Then...
"That's... That..."
Yuri suddenly hesitated to speak.
"Do you want to inform Senior Luo Zhen?"
In a word, the office became silent.
The other side and Chloe regained their previous expressions, one scratched his head helplessly, and the other covered his mouth and chuckled.
Even though she is usually so rebellious in front of Luo Zhen, at this time, the first thing that Yuli thinks of is always Luo Zhen, which makes people feel like they are looking at a junior who is not frank.
On the contrary, it was Frone, who looked extremely unhappy.
"I also want to inform him if I can, but with that man's personality, I don't think he will take the initiative to go on a mission now."
There was a rare whining in Fron's words.
Until...
"I'm sorry about that."
When such an indifferent voice sounded, everyone was stunned one after another.
