chapter.2 Death, End, Humanity

"Hold on! Don't let Kabane in! Knock down the Kabane you can see with a steam cylinder! ”

The city of Armor was speeding at high speed, crashing into the Kabane on the railroad tracks and heading for its next destination.

The men and women who were on duty this time stood by the slender window and aimed their steam canisters at the Kabane that appeared there.

In order to counter the threat of Kabanai, the shogunate that ruled Japan built walled castles called 'post gates' in various places, and only armored locomotives (commonly known as 'Sunjo') were able to travel between the posts, one of which was Kotetsu Castle.

Sunjo was run by the shogunate, and attendants were on duty on a rotational basis at each post. Each post was able to sustain itself by integrating its own products, and the shogunate, which managed the logistics, had great power.

Contrary to its rugged and majestic appearance, the Iron Castle was not used for combat but for the delivery of supplies, not for taking down the vehicles of the Kabanei, but for the vehicles fleeing the Kabane.

And the power for this big man, that is, the iron castle and other Juncheng cities, was the special steam engine "McClatch Mechanism" developed by the United Kingdom.

The McClatch Mechanism, which adopted the epoch-making idea of vapor compression, can provide not only high output for huge hulls, but also high-pressure boilers for personal use in steam weapons.

Hiiragiya back, the knapsack engine that provides steam power for the steam cylinder was made around this.

Standing with the man just now, Hiiragi also aimed at Kabane, who appeared in the shooting window, and pulled the trigger.

Bang!

"Whew!"

The reaction force of the momentary impact caused Hiiragi to take a small step back, and the Cabene, who had been hit by the steam canister, broke off the surface of the carriage and smashed onto the weed-infested gravel floor.

Though I want to confirm the detailed appearance of Kabanai. But Hiiragi doesn't have this free time either.

If you caused an accident because of your own negligence. Isn't that tantamount to hurting others?

For tasks that may fail at any time. Hiiragi also became serious and cautious.

As the train entered the center of the scrap area, the impact on the city became violent.

Rumble! Bang! Boom!!

The thick armor of the Iron City twisted, and the cacophony was a testament to the strength of Kabane.

Avoiding the door of the car that was hit continuously, Hiiragi also shifted his position to the other side.

"Huh?! Ahh!!h ”

One of the women who made the mistake was grabbed by the hair by Kabane, and she screamed in horror.

Pain and panic from being caught by her hair left her vapor cartridge hanging aside. Above, an arm entwined with red veins pulled her hair up with great force.

Hiiragi also sprints over, using his right hand to chop off the woman's hair, and the hair that has lost its connection is grabbed by Kabane out the window, and then bombarded by the next armed man.

"Thank you, thank you."

"It's okay, the crisis hasn't passed yet."

Hiiragi also stepped on the somewhat shaky ground, and the impact of Kabane was not over yet, and I am afraid that it would take more than ten seconds to completely pass through this waste area.

"Hold !!"

It wasn't just someone who said this, but the sound of the steam cylinder's jets began to play continuously.

"Don't come here! Don't come here!! ”

Sweat spilled from his forehead. The man in the same gear as Hiiragi let out a loud roar, his index finger pulling his steam cylinder down. The strong impact slammed the Kabane, which was lying on the surface, to the ground.

The white steam is like fireworks, and one shot is followed by the next.

Everyone was nervous, and even then, constantly repelled the enemy with their own weapons.

Even in the moving train, the roar of a beast could be heard in Kabane.

"Hmm, oh oh! Damn it! ”

Hiiragi also pulled the trigger for the seventh time, and the roar of a man's struggle sounded behind him.

Turning to look, his steam canister was pulled out of the window by Kabane, and he was pulled to the firing port because he didn't have enough strength to pull it back.

"New Five !!!!"

The man who found out about the situation like Hiiragi threw away his weapon and ran over to help the man who had the steam cylinder ripped out.

The two of them worked together to snatch the steam cartridge back.

With two thuds, they fell to the hard ground of the Iron City.

The young man, whose name was New Five, immediately checked his body.

"Are you alright?!"

After the test, Shin Wu nodded.

"It's okay, I'm really sorry just now."

It's just that as soon as he said this, he stared at the man who helped him just now with a shocked expression.

"You ......!!!"

"Huh?!"

"What's wrong?!"

Everyone else noticed that the man's right hand had been bitten open, and bright red blood was flowing from there, staining the ground red.

The Iron City of Armor is moving forward, about to leave the abandoned inn.

Hiiragi also felt the shaking disappear, and several bearded men with a steam cartridge threw a white bag in front of the injured man, surrounding one of the men who had been bitten out of the wound.

"Use it!"

In a very serious tone, the muzzle of the gun was pointed at the wounded man.

"Suicide bag, use it !!"

With a desperate look in his eyes, the man kneeling on the ground hesitated.

"Hurry up!"

"What are you hesitating about!!!"

"Show us your determination!!"

"Use it quickly, use it quickly!!"

Others have no sympathy at all.

The injured man grabbed the suicide bag on the ground.

The despair and grief before dying brought tears to his eyes.

Take off your clothes and place the suicide bag in your heart.

"Mother's ......"

Grab the black thread with your right hand and pull it hard, and an explosion occurs in the heart, directly destroying the most important organs.

Bright red blood splattered to the ground, and the corpse, which had lost its strength to support it, also fell.

"Hmm......"

Covering her mouth, the woman just now ran to the side, seemingly unable to accept such a scene.

…………

After the battle in the ruined area ended, it calmed down.

The food distributed was shriveled rice balls and a small glass of water, and Hiiragi did not eat because he was not hungry.

Footsteps sounded, and Hiiragi also saw the woman walking from the front carriage.

She had shoulder-length brown hair with somewhat curly hair, and she had no expression on her face, and she looked like a serious person.

She stopped as she passed Hiiragi.

"Don't eat?"

"You are?"

"Flight attendant."

The long-haired brown woman who claimed to be a flight attendant picked up Hiiragiya's rice balls and ate them in one bite.

"Yona! There's work to be done here! ”

"Understood."

Clapping her hands, the woman named Yona glanced at Hiiragi again.

"You won't live long if you do this."

Said such lines......

"That's right......"

Hiiragi couldn't help but smile bitterly, the first day had just begun......

[Because I'm quite optimistic about this work, I used it directly to write, if there are any deficiencies, please forgive me; Because "Iron City" is mixed with many elements, it is very suitable for creating a variety of plots, which is very exciting~~!! It would be nice if Nangong could rule a post station and lead the humans to repel Kabane~~ORZ, but even if he can fight a hundred enemies, one extra enemy is enough trouble. PS: This work was planned earlier than "Attack on Titan", so it's not the shadow of the giant, but the giant has its shadow, but the animation will come out later~] (To be continued.) )
