ACT.290 New enemies
Snowflakes slowly fell from the sky and landed in the palm of Lan Yuan Yanzhu's outstretched hand, gradually turning into invisible, leaving only a faint drop of water, as if it had never existed.
Elena and the other students stood obediently on the sidelines, quietly watching the snow scene.
"It's getting winter...... Time flies so fast......"
Lan Yuan Yanzhu looked at this snow scene and couldn't help but say to himself with some emotion.
Just over half a year ago, I hated winter more than anyone else whenever it was winter, but now, I finally have the opportunity to enjoy the snow.
Under the care of Lan Yuan and his wife, Lan Yuan Yanzhu's life can be said to be worse than death. I can't eat enough food every day, and I can only eat a little dry black bread a day. Even if it is water, Lanyuan Yanzhu is strictly controlled.
Even though Lan Yuan Yanzhu was only a few years old, she was forced by the inhumane couple to do some physical work that was very difficult for her, and she was often tired and lying on the ground unable to move. And once the couple has any troubles, or sulkness in their hearts, they will vent their fists and kicks to Lan Yuan Yanzhu.
As for the order given by the previous supreme ruler of Edo Ward, the money given to these families who voluntarily adopted the cursed children had already been squandered by the couple.
If it weren't for the fact that Lan Yuan Yanzhu's existence was related to whether they could receive such a large sum of money, Lan Yuan Yanzhu would probably have been tortured to death or driven out.
And winter, for Lanyuan Yanzhu at that time, it was a terrifying existence than anything.
Once it is winter, Lan Yuan Yanzhu will be forced by Lan Yuan and his wife to clean the snow inside and outside the courtyard. Also run errands for them. Especially on snowy days. Lan Yuan Yanzhu was only wearing a thin torn shirt. was kicked out of the house by the Lan Yuan couple and left to their errands.
It was precisely that cruel torture that made Lan Yuan Yanzhu choose such a dangerous profession as becoming a starter. Initiation is a profession that is numerous, but it is also a profession that many cursed children simply do not want to touch.
To be a starter is to embark on a path full of dangers and thorns. Although these cursed children have some characteristics of the aragon, it does not mean that the aragons will show mercy to them.
There are actually more initiators who die from protosagulars than promoters. It seems that the facilitator is generally not as strong as the starter, but the starter is limited by the international starter monitoring body. There is no power to disobey the facilitator, and in the face of the facilitator's orders, you can only obey them unconditionally.
If there is any benefit, it is that a cursed child who becomes a initiator has more inhibitors than an ordinary cursed child, and if it can guarantee that it will not die in battle or die accidentally, the normal life expectancy is much more than that of an ordinary cursed child.
"Well...... I remember that Yanzhu seemed like you came to Luo's house some time later than me......"
Elena nodded lightly and said to Lan Yuan Yanzhu.
"Yes~~ At that time, the concubine was still very nervous and said, I thought I would meet a terrible promoter, but I didn't expect Luo to be such a gentle and kind person, and became the concubine's fiancé~~"
Hear Elena's words. Lan Yuan Yanzhu nodded his head lightly and said with a happy face.
"Huh?! Did Luo become Yanzhu's fiancé? Why haven't I heard of it? Sister Kigen, do they know? ”
Elena instantly looked surprised. He asked in disbelief.
Although Lan Yuan Yanzhu has been talking about this stalk for almost half a year, Elena has never adapted to it, and will always forget it every once in a while. The reason is ...... Every time Chen Luo knew about it, he would say: It's Yanzhu's joke, it's good to forget......
"People also want to be Luo's fiancée!"
"Luo's fiancée is obviously me!"
"Private is Luo's fiancée!"
…………
The children, who were still quietly watching the first snow scene of the year, instantly shouted loudly like ants in a fried pot, declaring their possession of Chenluo.
"This group of ...... is faint"
Tatsuraku, who was sitting in the room talking to Kigen and Matsuzaki, heard the shouting outside the house, and covered his forehead with a headache and said.
"Huh...... It's also rare for the children to burst out with such energy......
Mr. Matsuzaki said with a smile when he heard Tatsuraku's words that actually did not mean anything.
Before Tatsuraku and Kigen arrived, Mr. Matsuzaki had been in charge of so many children alone, including their food, clothing, housing, and education.
Life at that time was very difficult, and the children often had no food but no next, and there was no guarantee of anything but water. Therefore, children rarely show a smile on their faces, and only when new textbooks are handed out and new clothes are obtained, will the innocence of children be revealed.
With the appearance of Chen Luo and Mu Geng, coupled with Lan Yuan Yanzhu, a guy with an active atmosphere, the children here really show what normal children should look like.
Although Chen Luo could not provide them with fine clothes and food, he could at least ensure that they had stationery and textbooks for school, as well as basic normal food. Although there is still a certain gap in life compared to ordinary children, especially in terms of entertainment, it is enough.
"I am also very satisfied with teaching these children here during this time, and it has brought me a lot of fun."
Chen Luo smiled and said seriously.
This sentence actually comes from Chenluo's heart, and during this time, Chenluo and Mu Geng have often come to teach these children. And these children themselves are full of vitality, and under the leadership of Lanyuan Yanzhu, they are even more energetic. If it weren't for the fact that he often said and did some things and words that gave Chen Luo a headache, he would have been happier.
"I'm sorry I went out to answer a phone call."
Suddenly, Mu Geng's mobile phone rang, and Mu Geng stood up apologetically and said.
"It's okay."
Mr. Matsuzaki and Tatsuraku smiled and motioned for Kigen to go out and answer the phone.
Not long after Mu Geng went out, he returned from outside with a solemn expression. Came to Chenluo's face.
"Something big has happened......"
Mu frowned. Xiang Chenluo said.
"What's the big deal?"
Chen Luo frowned. Asked suspiciously.
Under normal circumstances, even if it is a serious commission, Kigen rarely says that something big happened, presumably the incident is not private, but it is very likely to be related to Edo Ward, Neon, or the whole world.
"Something went wrong with the megalith......"
Mu Geng said in a deep voice.
"What? Something went wrong with the megalith? ”
Hearing Mu Geng's words, Chen Luo couldn't help but ask in surprise.
The significance of the megalithic monument to Edo Ward can be said to be equivalent to the meaning of the castle wall to human beings in the original Tatsuraku in the Attack on Titan World.
Once something went wrong with the megalith. Just like the castle wall, it found a breakthrough for the protozoan and invaded the entire Edo area.
The importance of the megalithic stele is undoubted, and no problem is allowed in any megalith, otherwise it will affect the whole body. Not to mention Edo Ward, there is hardly a single region in the entire world that can easily compete with the army of intestinal animals.
If nuclear forces are not used, many areas will be devastated even if they resist the invasion of the aragut.
"Hmm...... And seriously...... Taurus's former profiteering general, Aldebaran also appeared outside the megalithic monument. ”
Mu nodded softly. Said in a heavy tone.
"Aldebaran?"
Hearing Mu Geng's words, Chen Luo's brows tightened again.
Aldebaran as the younger brother of Taurus. Naturally, it can't be Phase Five, but Phase Four.
If you want to talk about the protosagulars of stage four, Chen Luo has also disposed of a lot, and the pressure is not very great.
Question: Aldebaran already has the strength of a quasi-fifth order compared to the general stage four protogulars, and its personal combat ability is extremely strong, although there is no specific information, but it is not much worse than Taurus. This is not the most serious thing, the most important thing is that Aldebaran has the ability to dominate ordinary protozoa.
Now that Aldebaran has appeared outside Edo Ward, it can at least command an army of no less than a thousand protozoa. In Edo Ward, not to mention 1,000 gastroids, 500 are a problem.
But fortunately, Chen Luo is here, Chen Luo is still very confident in his strength, if he directly forcibly fights against a thousand original intestines, he will be exhausted to death if he is not killed. But man and protosatus have struggled for so many years with the disadvantage of strength, relying on the superb intelligence of man.
As long as Chenluo adopts the tactics of guerrilla attrition, he will surely be able to wipe out a large part of the army before it gathers. Chen Luo estimated that he could lead Restia to destroy almost fifty protozoa in one day, and given him a week, he could greatly weaken the strength of protozoa.
And the invasion of protozoa is not a day to wipe out the human race, although the loss cannot be avoided, but if you cooperate with the human battle, the chance of winning this battle in two weeks is still very great.
And as long as Aldebaran is eliminated and then suppressed by powerful firepower, Chen Luo estimates that those protosagulars may still flee in the wilderness, and then they will be able to greatly reduce their losses.
And ...... The scariest thing is...... It seems that the proto-intestinal fauna of other regions also appeared ......"
But Mu Gen didn't let Chen Luo relax, and said even more explosive information.
In Edo City alone, the number of protometriarchs is not particularly large, but the total number is about 1,000. This is the largest tolerance range for Edo Ward, including Tatsuraku.
However, there are at least two or three thousand protozoans in other regions, and although it is impossible to concentrate them in Edo City, it is inevitable that the number will exceed 1,000, and it is very possible to reach 15,000 to 2,000.
"Hateful!"
Chen Luo couldn't help but stomp indignantly.
In this way, Chen Luo can't clean it up at all, after all, the protozoan is not a simple disappearance, and the human side may also be infected, and the number of protozoa will increase at that time. This is the most serious problem for Chenluo.
But it is not a realistic thing for humans not to resist, or to resist far away.
Compared with humans, the biggest characteristic of gastles is that they do not care about the number of casualties. When humans go to war, they will give up attacking or temporarily adjust because of the high number of casualties. But the gastrates don't have accidents. Never conquer the human area or annihilate your own army. It is very rare to retreat. Of course, the premise is that there is someone responsible for commanding them.
Protozoa below stage 3 are still more afraid of death in nature, and they are likely to choose to retreat due to intuitive fear when facing a powerful enemy.
"Something like this happened......"
Mr. Matsuzaki on the side also showed a heavy face.
Such a thing must not be hidden, because there is no way to hide it. And if it is really concealed, the Son of Heaven is too selfish. After all, ordinary people who don't know anything. It's hard to survive. Except for Chen Luo, the rest of the people, even the Holy Heavenly Son and Mu Geng, didn't have much expectations. After all, this kind of crushing of absolute numbers and strength is simply not something that the current situation in Edo City can parry.
"It seems that people will be evacuated, but with so many ordinary citizens in Edo City, it is impossible to evacuate them by plane alone, or even 1/100000 of 1,000...... It's a pity that so many children, they are still so young and so innocent. ”
Mr. Matsuzaki frowned and said with some sorrow.
Trains and the like certainly can't be used for evacuation. And it is not feasible for people to escape underground, and once the Edo Ward is destroyed. They will surely die, otherwise there would be no problem with numbers. The problem is that there are not many planes, and many of them are fighter jets, which can be used to carry more than 10,000 people, which is not enough for Edo City, which has a population of 100,000.
"Did the Son of Heaven say anything specific?"
Chen Luo frowned and asked Mu Geng.
Since there is a problem with the megalith, it would be nice to create another megalith. If the construction of the megalithic monument can be completed in a short period of time, it is not completely impossible to win.
"The megalithic monument will collapse in six days, and the new megalithic monument will be created in nine days, and the Holy Son of Heaven hopes that we will be able to resist the three-day ......"
Mu nodded lightly and said to Chenluo.
"Three days?"
Hearing Mu Geng's answer, Chen Luo breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't completely put his mind at ease.
As mentioned earlier, the archatics would not retreat easily, and it would be very problematic for an army of 2,000 arazons to hold on to Edo for three days.
It cannot be said that there are not many people's police officers who have fixed activity locations like Chenluo, but they are not particularly many, about 60 percent.
Although Edo Ward is the largest city in neon, that is also in the past, and the current Edo Ward has already declined a little under the continuous protozoan wars. In addition, Edo City is characterized by its prosperity, and in today's world, it is good for ordinary people to be able to live a normal life where they can enjoy anything. Therefore, the number of police officers in Edo City is not particularly large, probably only a few hundred.
The Self-Defense Forces and police forces, which have suffered huge damage, have been able to assemble an army of several thousand or more.
The problem is that the current Self-Defense Forces and the police force, Tatsuraku actually doesn't expect much from them.
In the Second Great War of the Kwantung region, the Self-Defense Forces made a great contribution and successfully defeated the arazoa. It may seem like great news, but people are complacent creatures.
The current Self-Defense Forces, if Chen Luo didn't guess wrong, didn't make much progress, but the protozoa may not have made much progress. The reason why Chen Luo thinks so is that he found out the last time he fought against Scorpio.
At that time, the Self-Defense Forces also used hammer-based weapons, but the Self-Defense Forces were clearly untrained and simply not able to deal with the intestines. Moreover, their weapons are slightly inferior to those of the civilian police.
"Is there anything you can do?"
Seeing that Chen Luo was not at a loss, but showed a thoughtful expression, Mu Geng asked with some expectation.
"Hmm...... I have a way, but it's just me and Tia. ”
Chen Luo nodded slightly, and then said his thoughts.
"Is this really possible?"
Hearing Tatsuraku's proposal, Mr. Matsuzaki was the first to ask in surprise.
In Mr. Matsuzaki's mind, such a terrible thought never existed. He was able to defeat dozens of protosagulars with the power of two and then retreat unharmed.
"You can give it a try...... But it's dangerous......"
Mu looked at Chen Luo with some concern and said.
Although Kigen knew that Chenluo's strength was very strong, the danger of entering the army of proto-intestinal animals with Restia was not comparable to the past.
Although the current army of protozoa has not yet been concentrated, it is much stronger than the original sporadic distribution, and it is not impossible to fall into the encirclement of more than 100 protozoans.
"I still have a certain amount of confidence, don't care so much about it for now, let's go find the Son of Heaven first, I still have some things to confirm."
Chen Luo smiled, and then said firmly.
"Then the two of us will set off first, and please let me know Mr. Matsuzaki. And remember, don't let the kids go out these days. ”
Tatsuraku stood up and gave Mr. Matsuzaki a warning, and then quickly pulled Kigen and ran outside.
The reason why Chenluo does not let the children go to the street is also for the sake of the children's safety. Because of this happening, it is hard to guarantee that those people will not vent their hatred for the original intestines on these poor and innocent children, if they are allowed to appear on the street at will, it cannot be said that it is certain, but the chance of being attacked can be said to be more than 80%, so they stay here, it is a little safer...... (To be continued......)
