Chapter 697: The Night of the Monsters
At night, Tokyo is enveloped in silence, and the ruined streets seem to be the abode of the dead, ready to swallow up all the creatures that enter it.
A sudden burst of roar shattered the silence of the streets, lighting a flame of destruction for the city in darkness.
The engine from the war machine was loud and intense, the wheels rubbing against the ground, and a war machine sped by.
It's not Roppongi, but there's more to the War Machine's patrol route.
The constant occurrence of bullets from the high-speed war machine indicates that it is not on patrol, but is chasing an enemy.
The automatic aiming system caught the enemy again, and at the moment when the golden figure flashed, the bullets from the machine gun were fired with the momentum of tearing through the steel bar.
Whoa!
There was a screeching sound like glass breaking, and the target was gone, shattered by a metallic crystal.
The war machine stopped, switching cameras for the enemy, only to find the flaming red object behind a wall.
The ammunition compartment of the war machine bounced up, aiming a small missile at the enemy.
But just as the tailgam of the missile erupted, an attack appeared from different directions.
Before the sound could be heard, the attack had arrived, and the large-caliber high-destructive bullet hit the missile, and a violent explosion suddenly erupted on the surface of the war machine.
War machines have defenses far beyond ordinary tanks and armored vehicles, and even such a close-range explosion did not destroy it, but it was inevitable that it would lose control for a while.
Seeing this opportunity, the prey that had been pursued began to fight back.
Under the cover of the explosion, the other party instantly narrowed the distance. By the time the war machine regained its gaze, it was already on top of it.
With her long blond hair shining in the starlight, and with a bright smile, the woman waved her arms.
Sharp crystals grew on that white and slender hand, and pierced into the body of the war machine with a single blow, and where the field of vision was invisible, the crystals pierced into it continued to grow like plants, spreading through the body of the war machine.
And that's not all, the War Machine is different from the average EndRave, and some of its mechanical devices have been replaced by AP crystals, so it has an unusual regeneration ability. However, it is no longer useful, and as the Crystal Tree grows, the AP crystals in the War Machine are constantly absorbed.
By the time the blonde woman withdrew her hand, all that was left of the war machine was a pile of scrap metal, and the AP crystals were moving with the blonde woman's will like a bunch of elves.
After destroying the war machine, the blonde woman was not very happy. Therefore, she could control the AP crystals in her body without getting close to the other party before, but at this time, she could only do it in close contact.
The other party has become stronger, and not only this enemy, but this ruin is becoming more and more dangerous.
I didn't think much about the blonde woman leaving quickly before the enemy's reinforcements appeared, and soon appeared in a building, where a Lori who couldn't even tell the age of a girl was waiting for her.
Lori was holding a sniper rifle that was taller than herself, and it was hard to imagine that such a petite body could use such a weapon, but it was her sniper support just now.
"It's not hurt, is it? Sister. ”
Lori, who has long pale blonde hair that is a little messy, calls the blonde woman that, but in fact the two are not related by blood, and the reason they are connected is simply that both of them are "monsters".
"Nothing."
"Sure enough, don't act alone in the future, it's dangerous for my sister to be alone this time."
Contrary to her youthful appearance, Lori has a mature and steady temperament.
“……”
The blonde woman was silent for a moment, as the other party said, the other party's support had made a big difference, and her own strong desire to go it alone had been proven to be a mistake.
"It seems like a busy night tonight."
So the blonde woman forcibly changed the subject.
"Well, it's getting harder and harder to move around. I don't know if it has anything to do with the earthquake a few days ago. ”
Lori thoughtfully followed the blonde woman's words.
"Who knows, this world has become a monster paradise anyway, so what does it matter if there are more."
The blonde woman said these words with the appearance that she was happy.
"I didn't expect the world to be like this."
Lori looked at the ruined city, as if she was recalling something, and showed a sad expression.
"How's it going over there?"
Perhaps trying to change the atmosphere, the blonde woman returned to the point.
"Most of the people are fine, but Yanzhu's situation is urgent, even if you don't fight, I'm afraid you won't be able to last long without injecting inhibitors."
"Turning into a monster?"
The blonde woman watched as Lori's red eyes gradually turned back to normal sky blue, which were eyes that did not belong to normal people.
She knew that Lori and her companions in front of her were from another world, where humanity was suffering from a terrible viral parasite attack, and what was even more desperate than here was that the world had fallen, and humans were cowering in the city. It's like the future of the world now.
They are also infected by the virus and eventually become real monsters.
"Sister doesn't have to care, although it's only a short time, we are very happy."
The other party's attitude is too calm, which makes people feel sad.
"It's really unbearable."
However, the blonde woman is not so sentimental people, but the other party's attitude makes her very unhappy.
"Will you be willing?"
"Huh?"
"Isn't it too cheap for this bastard world to not let it learn its lesson?"
The blonde woman didn't know who she was angry about.
"Whether it's elimination or evolution, it's not chosen by people. It's your choice that matters. ”
What had been said to her resurfaced in her mind, and at some point it had become the driving force for her actions.
"Huh."
Suddenly I heard the other party's laughter.
"What's wrong?"
"Sister is really, sometimes she always says something that doesn't look like you at all."
"Ugh!"
An embarrassed look appeared on the blonde woman's face.
"There's no way around that, because someone else told me about it."
“?”
Tilting his head slightly, the other party showed curiosity that matched his age.
"Is it a boy?"
"Why, why do you suddenly ask that!"
"Because the books say that boys make girls change."
"That's not what I mean at all!"
The blonde woman said with a bit of a headache.
"That's it! The operation is over tonight, go back! ”
"Huh?"
Then she disappeared into the night with a dissatisfied Lori. (To be continued.) )
