Chapter 10: Countdown to Calamity

Hanmo swiped his hands and sank quickly, he looked at the rope behind him, a little unaccustomed, "Actually, I'm fine without this thing...... "Without this thing, he would have reached the target position faster."

When he proposed not to tie the ropes, he was opposed by everyone. They agreed that this thing was necessary and should never be lifted.

Ten minutes later, he found the sunken freighter. He gave a signal and swam to the freighter and waited for the net to arrive.

He adjusted the flashlight on his head, turned it up, and looked around. Except for some seabed plants, there are hardly any other animals to be seen. After that, he focused on the freighter at his feet.

The freighter, which is nearly a mile long, looks quite impressive, with a width of about sixty meters and a height of eighty meters. However, on the side of the ship, there are several hideous marks. The hull made of special alloys was torn through several huge openings, and even the engine was destroyed.

That's probably why it sank.

"This kind of scar looks a little familiar." Hanmo took a closer look at the tear marks, and he took a few photos and sent them to a few people on the ship. Soon, I got a reply from Sima Weiweaving.

"This kind of trace, the same as the trace caused by Scorpio's attack, I'm afraid that the one who sank it is Scorpio."

Her reply was the same as Hammer's guess, which showed that Scorpio itself was in the offshore area of Asia, which may be why Scorpio came so quickly that day.

Stage 5 is as terrifying to humans as natural disasters, they are called the zodiac signs, and only eleven have actually been found. It is said that Taurus and Virgo were killed by the first and second places in the IP ranking, respectively, while Scorpio was eliminated by Rentaro using the ladder some time ago, and there are only eight left.

"Kill stage five alone, I don't know how effective it is." Hanmo was a little tempted to try fighting them, but their identities were unknown, and he couldn't find anyone if he wanted to.

He found the scattered containers next to the wreck, but luckily the containers were mostly intact, only one of them was broken, and the steel inside was scattered. He swam under a container and tried to lift it up with all his might, and his whole body sank downward, almost half swallowed up in the mud.

"Miss Sima, are you ready?" Hanmo looked at the huge net above, which was made of special iron cables. Each freighter had a corner on it, and in order to prevent the center of gravity from being unstable, an anchor was dropped on the opposite side of the net. As a result, in the event of danger, all the freighters could not leave immediately.

When Sima Miori heard this, he gave orders to the others to prepare for the earthquake, and at the same time, the four of them also went to the four freighters. Seeing that everything was ready, she said to Hanmo, "It's ready." ”

Almost everyone grabbed the solid spot, and then they visibly felt the hull shake a little, but only slightly. Before they could breathe a sigh of relief, all four freighters sank sharply.

When Sima Weizhi saw this scene, he was almost taken aback, "How much did he lose into the net at one time?" "Fortunately, the captains of the four ships reacted in time and adjusted the hull to maintain stability.

Hanmo, which is at the bottom of the sea, is throwing containers into the net one by one. After losing more than 300 containers, Hanmo stopped and waited for them to catch them.

"The odds are almost solved, and the key is still the ones on the ship." Hanmo saw the rows of dense containers, and the preliminary estimate was that the number was 10,000. Theoretically, with so much steel loaded, there is no need to be afraid of the archastomy attack. But the fifth stage they encountered was an exception.

The mission went smoothly, and there were no surprises, either during the ventilation or the final loading.

"Am I overthinking?" Hanmo grabbed the net and rose with them. He felt a little uneasy in his heart, and always felt that something had been neglected, "There are only eight of them left in Stage Five, and there is no trace of Stage Five off the coast of Asia at present. Is that a high-ranking police officer? Or was it the one who controlled Tina before? ”

After thinking about it for a long time to no avail, in terms of force, he was never afraid of others. The world once said to him that in the first world, he was invincible. And now that his injuries had recovered and his strength was stronger than before, he couldn't think of anything else that could threaten him.

Hanmo climbed onto the freighter, and the materials on the sunken freighter had been looted, and in addition to the steel inside, he also carried a box of gold. Now that the monetary system has not collapsed, with this box of gold, he can also buy all kinds of materials for Xia Shi and them.

Thinking of this, Hanmo also had a smile on his face. He picked up the box of gold, climbed into the boat, and walked towards Xia Shi. As you walk, remove the air cylinder that was in the way and set it aside.

The people around were busy loading the last batch of steel, and the four freighters were also preparing to return, their faces were also full of harvest joy, and they looked at Hanmo with some respect.

After arranging the matter, Sima Weizhi found Hanmo, "This time the harvest is very rich, according to the agreement, I will take three-tenths of the steel as the cost of mobilizing manpower and refining the steel ore afterwards." ”

Including the cost of helping to build a new enchantment area later, she has already counted it in this batch of steel. This has been negotiated in advance, and Hanmo, who does not have any funds and manpower, can only ask Sima Weizhi for help in this way.

At the same time, he also exchanged some of the gold for supplies and sent it to District 39.

After nearly a month of training, the results were not obvious. Of the seven people who met the training requirements, the strongest one at the moment was a girl with cheetah genes. The speed of the instant burst is comparable to that of Yanzhu. However, if you fight officially, you can't defeat Xia Shi, and you have too little actual combat experience. The rest of them do not have strong combat capabilities. It can only be said that it barely meets the requirements of being a starter.

However, this is also similar to what Hanmo expected at the beginning, most of the cursed sons with good qualifications were taken away by Iiso, and the remaining people may have strengths in other abilities, but their combat ability will not be very strong.

"When you're ready, let's start training." Hanmo, dressed in civilian clothes, stood casually in an open space, and across from him was Tina. As the strongest other than Hanmo, Tina's combat ability is very amazing.

As soon as she spoke, Tina drew her short knife and rushed towards Hanmo.

As a sniper, Tina not only has excellent night sniping ability, but also excels in machine gun handling and short knife combat, especially when using Xenfeld, she can control multiple machine guns at the same time to suppress fire.

Hanmo controlled his speed to a little higher than hers, and used his hand to block the short knife and punch it, but Tina easily dodged it. Around them, four white orbs were suspended, and they were machines called Xenfeld. Soon, the two continued to fight together.

"Tina, your advantage is battlefield analysis ability, you don't have to worry about being sneak attacked, you can deal with four Senfeld at the same time, you should be able to use two different weapons at the same time. When you attack with a short knife, you don't use your left hand. Natsuyo suggested to Tina on the side, and at the same time threw a pistol over.

Tina quickly took the pistol, and used the pistol to shoot at Hanmo at the same time as the melee attack.

Two minutes later, several more dents appeared on Hanmo's clothes, and the battle ended with Hanmo's defeat.

"That's amazing." Han Mo exclaimed, Tina was able to achieve a near-perfect match as soon as she used her dual weapons to fight, and he needed constant practice.

"No, it's because Mr. Hammer has been letting me." Tina shook her head, and in the midst of the fight, she could clearly see Hanmo's serious control. Each attack controls the power and speed to a slightly stronger level than hers.

"I only rely on the original intestinal virus and mechanical modification to have such power, and Mr. Hammer, you simply rely on your physical ability, right? Why are you so strong? ”

After Tina asked this question, Xia Shi also looked at Hanmo curiously. They had also seen some people possess great strength without relying on mechanical modification and intestinal virus, but they were all the result of practicing combat techniques and fully exerting the strength of their bodies.

"I was also weak in the past, my physical strength was not strong, not to mention compared with you, even among ordinary people, I am considered a weak group. I'm talking about people who haven't had any exercise. It wasn't until I was 19 years old that I started exercising because of some accidents. Speaking of this, Han Mo's eyes were a little gloomy, if it weren't for that accident, he wouldn't have come here now, and he would have lived as an ordinary person.

"At that time, I was exercising desperately every day, as long as I had a little physical strength, I would stand up and re-exercise, and several times I passed out, my body reached its limit, and I almost couldn't wake up. Unfortunately, I survived. After about three months, I noticed a change in my body. At first, I didn't know it, but I thought my strength was getting faster. Once, when I was drinking water, I accidentally pinched and bent the water bottle, and I realized that I had become stronger. ”

"Over the next two years, my body grew stronger day by day, as if there was no limit. Steel is more fragile than my skin, a punch can break mountains, and it's fast enough to run on water, making it a superhuman being. To this day, I can feel my body changing every day. This may have been a prank by the heavens, giving me, who once had nothing and no pursuits, gained great power. But now, I've found meaning in my life. ”

After speaking, Han Mo looked at them with a smile, "I'm hungry, it's time for dinner." Let's go, let's eat. ”

Tina and Natsushi glanced at each other, and one of them took Hanmo's hand and followed him to dinner.

After returning to the place of residence, Xueyin and two older girls were preparing dinner and distributing it to everyone.

"Uncle Hanmo and Sister Xia Shi and Sister Tina are back." A younger girl happily ran over and pounced on Hanmo.

Hanmo couldn't hold her because his hands were all being held. He looked at the others, and a long-lost sense of happiness rose in his heart. After nearly two months of life, he and the people here have a family-like relationship. For them, he and Matsuzaki are their father-like existence, making up for the lack of family affection in their hearts.

Although it is just a rudimentary sewer, it is a home away from home for them. With no way to guarantee their safety, Hanmo didn't dare to build a normal house for them in a conspicuous place.

Hanmo and Matsuzaki sit together and talk about the girls while eating, but when it comes to going to school, they are equally disagreed.

"Knowledge is more important than weapons." Matsuzaki accentuated his tone when he said the word weapon.

Hanmo nodded, agreeing with him, "I want to find someone to teach them, and the things you teach are common sense." You can't teach them about science. ”

"Can't you teach it too?" Matsuzaki asked a little strangely.

Han Mo shook his head, "I can't do it, but someone can teach it, so I can only trouble them." ”

After eating, he edited a text message and sent it to Sima Weizhi.

The next day, Sima Miori took Rentaro and Tendo Kigen to the open-air classroom. As a condition, Yanzhu will also go to school here.

"Come on!" Hanmo sat on the wall facing the blackboard of the open-air classroom and gestured to cheer them on. Unlike him, these people are a little shy when facing a group of little girls.

These men were better suited to teach them than he was.

"Tiantong Mu is a sword ghost who is passed down by Tiantong Stream, she can teach them the skills of fighting, and Sima Weizhi is the daughter of Sima Heavy Industries, and his understanding of weapons is far from being comparable to him, as a police officer, Satomi Rentaro, although the name of the trick used is very strange, but he has a lot of experience in fighting."

"Do you let them come over to teach them knowledge, or teach them to fight......" Xia Shi listened to Han Mo's explanation on the side, and found that none of this had anything to do with teaching.

Tina, who was drowsy on the side, raised her head to look at them when she heard this, and then continued to lower her head and doze off.

Hanmo didn't answer, but looked at Rentaro, who was being teased by the girls in front of him, and Tendo Kigen, who was blushing and angry, "They still have a vigor that I don't have." ”

A black sedan drove from a distance, and Hammer noticed that the representative of the Tokyo area, the Shengtianzi, sat inside.

"His Highness the Holy Son of Heaven?" Seeing the Saint Son getting off the car, Tiantongmu exclaimed even more.

"How are you? Are you still happy going to school? The Son of Heaven greeted the girls with a smile, and then she was a little surprised to see Han Mo sitting on the wall behind her. She quickly returned to her normal state and looked at Rentaro, "Mr. Satomi, there's something I want to ask you for, can you come with me?" Mr. Hanmo, can I trouble you to come along? ”

Rentaro was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that the Holy Son of Heaven would come to him specifically.

"If there's anything, let's talk about it here." Hanmo jumped off the wall and slowly walked in front of the Son of Heaven, "He still has to teach the children." ”

"Okay." The Son of Heaven looked at the girls who were looking at her curiously, nodded in agreement. After finding an open place, the Son of Heaven asked the two guards who came with him to guard nearby, in addition to Hanmo and Rentaro, Tiantong Mu and Sima Weizhi were also invited by her.

"Last night, Aldebaran, a stage 4 protosatum, ran to the 32nd megalith, and it injected the megalith with steel erosion fluid, and it is expected that after six days, the magnetic field of the megalith will disappear and collapse, although a replacement megalith has been made, but there are still nine days before the construction is completed."

They didn't expect the Son of Heaven to bring such a piece of news.

"During the three-day blank period when the megalithic monument collapses to the completion of the replacement megalith, there will be an invasion of gastrulation, right?" Hammer thought of a bad possibility, "There are a lot of araguts, so you want us to stop them?" ”

"There are now more than 2,000 gastaroids gathered on the outside of the monument, and once the monument collapses, they will swarm there. At that time, all the citizens of the Tokyo area will die or become protosagular. The Saint Son nodded, confirming Han Mo's guess, "In order to prevent the citizens from panicking, we have news of a blockade. However, after a few days, the megalith will begin to bleach, and there is no way to hide it forever. ”

Hearing the words of the Son of Heaven, Rentaro clenched his fists, "Why did Aldebaran run to the giant stone tablet, are those protogastral animals all under the control of Aldebaran?" ”

"We don't know." The Son of Heaven shook his head and looked directly at Rentaro, "I want to ask you to form an auxiliary force. ”

"Wait, what are the auxiliaries?" Rentaro interrupted the words of the Son of Heaven, and he was a little puzzled.

"Auxiliary forces refer to the detachment system that incorporates civilian police into the Self-Defense Forces." Tian Tong Mu explained on the side.

"You're trying to get me to organize a team to fight?" Rentaro said in surprise.

"Exactly. Mr. Satomi, I want you to become the captain of the civilian police detachment and lead them to the decisive battle. ”

"Decisive ......" Rentaro had some hesitation on his face, this task was a bit heavy for him.

"See you in Sato, rest assured. You can do it. Sima Weizhi encouraged from the side, believing in the person she fancied.

"From the time the megalith collapsed to the completion of the new megalithic monument in three days, all the invading protozoa were killed. This will be a fateful battle for the Tokyo region. The Son of Heaven said solemnly, and then she looked at Han Mo, "Mr. Han Mo, I hope you can come and help us. ”

Is this the source of unease? Han Mo's expression was a little dazed, he came back to his senses, shook his head and refused, "I'm not interested, it's enough for them to help you." ”

The collapse of the megalith, the panic of the citizens. Under the threat of death, they may do something crazy, or even point the finger at the Cursed Child. He was going to stay with them and keep them safe.

He cared more about their safety than the citizens.
