Chapter 15: Good Luck?
Deciding what to do with Veretta, Xue Qiong finally got down to his next business: to rescue the guerrillas who were still under siege in Britannia and were the forerunners of the Black Knights.
Poison Island Tsuneko, who originally said that he wanted to go along, still didn't follow because he had to write his memory into the illusion thinking disk. The director's combat power is zero, and it is not suitable to act with Chen Meijia, who is a friend's wife, so after a short convergence, Xue Qiong returned to acting alone.
Because of the murder of Clovis and the almost complete destruction of the entire command level, the Britannian army in the slums of Shinjuku is now in a very chaotic situation. Especially before Xue Qiong mysteriously disappeared again, and no one had the power to issue a new unified order, each unit fought separately, and the commanders of the grassroots troops all came according to their own ideas, headless flies tried to find him, and those who blindly slaughtered the people of the 11th district with revenge, intrigue, and even withdrew from the battlefield without authorization, which is also the reason why after Veretta's signal disappeared for so long, there has never been even a single unit to confirm the life and death of this noble pilot.
In this situation, the situation of the guerrillas is estimated to be even easier than before Lelouch intervened on the battlefield in the original work, and the worst situation is that the encirclement of Britannia has not been completely dispersed, and there is no way to escape. At this time, even without the wisdom of Lelouch to join halfway, the fate of this group of people is still very optimistic, and even unlucky, after this Lelouch has gained the ability to hatch an entire swarm, the importance of this group of people who were originally the basic team of his future army is not as important as in the original work... It is precisely because of this that Xue Qiong and the others can discuss a Veretta that is even less important so well.
As for how to find the guerrillas? This is not a problem at all. Or to put it another way, the question is not to find them at all, but to distract the Britannian army and make a gap in the encirclement.
Of course, if conditions permit, it would be more appropriate if you could not expose the truth of your "fake death"...
With this in mind, Xue Qiong quickly found a squad that had broken away from the big army. And the reason for finding it so quickly is very simple, just follow the sound of gunshots.
As for why there are gunshots? From the mixed screams, you can easily guess one or two... When Xue Qiong rushed over, he also knew that he had indeed guessed correctly.
The infantrymen, armed with submachine guns, drove the people of District 11 out of the buildings where they were hiding, and then, in front of a half-collapsed wall, they formed a small circle and pulled the trigger on the civilians who were still in a state of confusion and panic...
Even the two tall Sutherland mechs didn't care about activating the weapons in their hands, which looked like enlarged submachine guns, but they were loaded with high-explosive armor-piercing shells used against armored troops, and at this time, they didn't have the consciousness to waste firepower and ammunition on anti-aircraft guns to hit mosquitoes.
The living are turning into corpses, their bodies are turning into minced meat, begging for mercy and screaming are not in exchange for mercy, and the defenseless civilians are falling like wheat... When Xue Qiong appeared in the shadows somewhere, the first thing he saw was such a scene.
"Tsk." Xue Qiong sneered, "I don't know what to do when I connect it, so I can only vent my anger and fear here..."
Faced with this kind of scene where anyone with a clear mind would be angry and clenched his teeth, Xue Qiong just watched quietly, without a trace of emotional reaction, and even did not use derogatory terms such as "ugly" and "stupid" when complaining.
Because he made his judgment in a split second: to minimize the number of witnesses.
The sense of justice, which does not exist, for him this kind of thing can only be used as an occasional self-satisfied entertainment at best, and even from another point of view... Xue Qiong has a hunch that although they are still maintaining the plot inertia of this world, since it is a plan that the director personally participated in, and directly gave the worm* to the vengeful prince, the world will be destroyed sooner or later, and it is very good that these people can finally stay twenty percent.
As for those things in his own world, in the history of the two countries ... Although there is a part of the impact, it is already a matter of the second priority.
At the moment when the last civilian turned into an incomplete corpse, and the entire arrogant Britannian squad gathered together, chatting without vigilance, and began to reload, Xue Qiong moved.
His legs twisted into an abnormal stance, then he popped his body out like a slingshot and punched Sutherland's cockpit!
The alloy cast hatch was torn like waste paper, and the surging black energy poured into the small space, instantly destroying everything inside in the turbulence!
He didn't use the Demon Dragon Yi, but he was born from the Dragon and Tiger Roar skill of the Arad Qigong Master, and he just added energy to his fist in general.
The incident happened suddenly, and the soldiers around didn't even have time to react! Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xue Qiong once again used the movement method that he could only use when dealing with Lancelot, ejecting his body with telekinesis, and bounced back from Sutherland's back in an instant.
Then the soldiers finally came to their senses and fired wildly in the direction of Xue Qiong! It's just that in this time, Xue Qiong has disappeared behind a certain building... The driver of the other Sutherland was obviously not an ace pilot of the level of the Pivot Wood Suzaku, and the steering action was even slower by several beats, not to mention the mecha that was slowly falling backwards, which just happened to block the view.
So far, it seems that only armoured units have been equipped with battle recorders.
So although the infantrymen had already seen him, it didn't matter! Just clean it up later.
"Gobat!" The megaphone on Sutherland rang out, "Assemble the formation, and scatter the search!" ”
Sutherland, who was clearly piloted by the squad commander, lowered his head and used the camera mounted on his head to confirm the fate of his colleague, but...
The mecha emitting black smoke suddenly exploded!!
On the battlefield, it is not uncommon for mechs to be destroyed and exploded, but under normal circumstances, this power does not pose any threat to Sutherland, which has been considered in the design process!! And the power of this explosion is incredible, directly turning another Sutherland into a part of the fireworks!
And the rest, the few infantry who only have light weapons, of course, are not the slightest threat in front of Xue Qiong... As for what happened just now, it was very simple, just left a small gift, although in order not to leave the iconic black energy in front of the battle recorder, Xue Qiong used a crude magic grenade when the researcher's enchantment technique was not mature, instead of leaving an explosive clone or a black lotus.
This makes the attack look like a rebel bomber swooped up on the first Sutherland, leaving another explosive bag on it...
Completely destroying the crime scene with ease, Xue Qiong found what he was looking for in a certain soldier: a simple combat electronic map.
I have to say that Britannia in this world is really accustomed to crushing asymmetrical warfare, this kind of marking the movement of each army, even the individual equipment at the headquarters position, does not even have a self-destruct function activated when the master loses contact, and the secret method is fingerprints... It may be advanced and convenient, but on the battlefield, it is something that only needs a dead man's finger to solve.
"Good." Xue Qiong looked at the icons that were still running around in a swarm, and nodded with satisfaction, "As long as you continue to hunt and tear a gap in this direction, as long as they don't get stupid enough to do that..."
"Hey! Who are you! ”
"Huh?"
"Talking about you!! Is it a Britannian bastard?! ”
"Oh my God..."Xue Qiong held the back of her head with one hand and turned her gaze, and then said to herself, "My luck is so good?!" ”
The direction of the voice was a thin man with a brown-red hedgehog head tied to his headband, and the submachine gun in his hand was aimed at him, yelling at him.
The beacon also came with a series of prompts, and the part about the battle showed that he was an undoubted miscellaneous fish, not even an important plot character, and there was no dime reward for the first interaction, if it weren't for Xue Qiong's beacon authority increased a lot, there wouldn't even be these prompts.
Of course, this guy is more or less a guy who has his own name and role in the original work, and it just happens...
He's a member of the future Black Knights in the original work.,Overall, it's 80 percent of the stupid work in the whole story.,Known for being frizzy and good at blasting thorns.,Mr. Shinichiro Tamaki.。
Although it is a character who is too lazy to communicate, the appearance of this goods here shows that the main force of the guerrillas is nearby. Although Xue Qiong's original purpose was to rescue these people who were in danger under the influence of his early actions and should not have died here, but this time he ran into it directly, and he really didn't know whether he was dead or bad for a while.
"Hey! Say what about you! Yucheng-kun was still there shouting, "Tell me your identity!" Why the hell is here! ”
To be honest, Xue Qiong, whose face is still covered with a few chitinous masks, is indeed too suspicious, but according to Xue Qiong's estimates, in the case that the guerrillas have no information about the appearance of the "mysterious humanoid creatures", and this person's brain capacity is estimated to be unable to see the Britannian soldiers and Sutherland who are shattered to the ground around him... At this time, the motive for this move is probably to shake his majestic face without a weapon in his hand.
"Look over there."
"What?!"
In the next moment, Xue Qiong had already flashed to Yucheng's side, snatched his gun with one hand, and then crumpled it into a ball of scrap metal in his hand.
Except that he is not particularly strong among the reincarnators, but it is still far beyond the muscular strength of ordinary people, Xue Qiong did not show anything special, this was all to create another vest.
Unlike "a mysterious humanoid lifeform that can transform and create explosions, float in the air, and manipulate strange mechas", he is now just a character with a little bit of anti-sky.
"It's self-introduction."
"Take me to your steward."
