chapter.4 Twist, Plot, Mutation
There are two most important rules of survival in the last days.
One of them: give priority to one's own interests and put away the 'ideas' of rotten good people;
Second: Don't rely on others easily, try your best to solve problems in your own way and adapt to the world.
Of course, it is not saying that people must drill the horns to comply, after all, many times the situation on the scene needs to be improvised.
Hiding in the shadows next to the Iron Castle, Hiiragi now thinks about preventing the guards from putting the drawbridge down.
Because there is a river between the railway track and the Xianjin Station, if the suspension bridge is not lowered, it can be avoided as much as possible to prevent Fusang Castle from directly breaking into the Xianjin Station and causing great damage.
Of course, the best case scenario is that Fusang Castle falls directly into the river due to the gap in the river on the way, so that none of the Kabanes on Fusang Castle can enter.
But can things really go that well?
The current Hiiragi does have great power, but under the restrictions given by the main god and the influence of various factors, the action may not be successful.
Even so, Hiiragi thinks it's the best option.
The reason for this is not to protect the people in the Xianjin Station, but to make the most of this station so that he can easily complete the task.
After thinking about it, not much time had passed in reality, and the two of them, Loach and Yusheng, were still creating chaos on the passage not far away, which made several samurai on patrol run over.
"What's going on!?"
"You're the steam craftsman who cleaned the Iron City before, aren't you? What are you doing here? Don't prepare what you're going to use next. β
"Fusang City is about to enter the station, don't make trouble here!"
There were also samurai on the castle wall looking at Loach and Tsuyo, and Hiiragi also took the opportunity to move forward.
Since there is a relationship between the entrance and exit of the railroad tracks. So no iron gates were built. Hiiragi also bypassed several samurai later. Smoothly came to the gate.
"Hey, who's over there!? You shouldn't be here! β
"Fusang City is all Kabane, don't put down the drawbridge."
"What nonsense are you talking about."
"If you don't believe it, you'll regret it right away."
The three samurai glanced at each other, and each raised the steam canister in their hands, aiming for Hiiragiya who was walking towards them.
"That...... Want to lower the drawbridge? β
"Of course, Fusang City has the supplies we need, how can we let it be taken outside."
"Good. Good. β
The man in charge of lowering the drawbridge nodded, and began to turn the handle with his hands, and the rope was wrapped around the axle, and the pulley was running, and with a somewhat dull sound, the giant bridge began to slowly lower.
"You over there, don't go any further, we'll shoot."
"I can't help it."
Hiiragi also ran.
The sudden action stunned the three samurai for a moment, but at the order of one of them, all three pulled the trigger at the same time.
The steam barrel fired a bullet of impact nature that flew towards Hiiragi also. Hiiragi also uses abilities at the same time.
"First ......"
The right hand reached out and grabbed the bullet with a hand. Then erase.
"Second shot, third shot......"
After bending down to dodge one shot, the fist of his left hand slammed into the third bullet, destroying it.
"What's going on with this man! Shoot! Shoot! β
The continuous firing slowed down Hiiragi, but it didn't make much of a difference.
The swinging two arms wield the body to evade it, eliminating all the dangerous bullets with their abilities.
With his left foot on the rails, he flew up while exerting his strength.
"Wow !!"
Hiiragi also crossed them by the shoulder of the samurai in the middle, and then grabbed the hand of the man who controlled the drawbridge.
"Take the bridge back!!"
"What, what's wrong?"
When the man was confused, the man above who was in charge of observing with the telescope shouted
"Damn it! There's Kabane on it! Fuso City is dominated by Kabane!! β
Then unseemly screams were heard, and the people above began to run away.
The face of the samurai who attacked Hiiragi just now changed, and he ordered the man who was grabbed by Hiiragi's arm.
"It's true, hurry up! Lift the bridge!! β
"No, it's too late!"
Even with Hiiragi's help, the suspension bridge, which had been halfway down, could not be completely put away.
You can already clearly see the headlights of Fuso Castle, and the roar of the train is not slowing down at all.
Of course, after all, it is full of enemies of humanity, creatures called Kabane.
"I'm going to crash into it!!!"
Running away from Hiiragi, the man in charge of lowering the drawbridge and the samurai just now all ran to the inside of the Xianjin Station, after all, there is still a chance to survive if you escape, but being hit by Juncheng is equivalent to death.
Hiiragi was also standing in place, and the wind blowing from the front was very strong, and it felt like the weather had become a lot more violent.
Without hesitation, he began to run up the sloping drawbridge.
Because the surface of the suspension bridge is covered with rails, it is very easy to climb up.
After climbing to the top, Hiiragi also jumped off and jumped onto the railroad tracks opposite.
"That's embarrassing."
Fuso Castle, which had passed through the tunnel, rushed towards Hiiragi head-on.
The rails under his feet shook more and more violently.
Raising his right hand, Hiiragi also looked at the three seconds before he would crash into his own Fuso City.
It's all Kabane, so destroying it doesn't count as hurting others, right?
As long as you split this horse in two here, you might be able to make it fall to the river on both sides.
Raising his right hand, Hiiragi also focused his abilities there, trying to expand the cutting range while firing the abilities.
No, that's not right......
What if you cut Fusang City in half, what if it flies up and smashes into the Xianjin Station?
If the flying Fusang City stoned the residents of the Xianjin Post to death, this would be regarded as an indirect injury to others, right?
That bastard is the main god, and the task is not clearly defined. Who knows if indirect damage will cause the mission to fail?
Wrong. Indirect damage shouldn't be counted.
To prove it with a sentence from "Tokyo Meow". That is, 'all the misfortunes in the world are caused by the incompetence of the person concerned'.
Although this sentence will be complained by many people that it is too extreme, it is not impossible to use it here.
The reason why the Xianjin Post will be broken through is also because the current Hiiragi has not yet reached the strongest, and it is because of this that they cannot protect them.
Indirectly hurt everyone here......
It may be arrogant to think so, but that's how Hiiragi thinks.
It's just that Hiiragi doesn't think about it that much now.
"Uh-huh, ahhh!!!!!h
The raging wind swept across the land, and Hiiragi swung his right hand out before Fuso Castle crashed into him.
Only the rumbling sound of Fuso Castle being transported on the railroad tracks, the sound of steel twisting, and the sound of iron falling down, the force that cut everything split Fusang Castle in two from the front of the locomotive.
It worked!!!
However, when the city of Fuso, which was divided into two halves, was biased towards the rivers on both sides. The inertia and the wheels that remain on the rails to provide power allow the body on both sides to accelerate again.
"Damn."
Fuso Castle was also divided into two halves for the 'point' and crashed into the Golden Station.
A loud bang shook the eardrums, firelight and dust flew all over the sky, and the violent explosion made the Xianjin Post noisy.
Fuso Castle, which was originally crashed into the central part, was turned into both sides, and the station at the entrance was not too badly damaged.
Should it be said that it was screwed up?
Not hearing the voice of the Lord God means that indirect damage will not cause the mission to be judged a failure.
Even so, Hiiragi is laughed at by his actions.
Seems to make things even more troublesome.
Looking at the suspension bridge, which was at least five meters high from him, Hiiragi also realized that he could not return to the Xianjin Station......
βSHITγβ
It's clear that it's strong enough, but now it's not even a five-meter high place......
However, if you use the ability to accelerate the impact, you may be able to get yourself up.
Just as Hiiragi was about to use his abilities, a figure appeared above the drawbridge.
"Lord Nangong!!"
"You are? Loach? β
"Please catch this. Hurry up! β
The girl of the steam craftsman, who helped Hiiragi also attract the attention of the samurai at first, lowered the rope.
"I'll catch it with Xiaosheng, you can climb up with this."
"Excuse me......"
Hiiragi didn't expect anyone to help him.
Follow the rope to the top of the suspension bridge. Hiiragi exhaled as well.
Sitting on the ground, some fat teenagers fanned themselves with their hands.
"Have you failed? That Fuso city is full of Kabane. β
"Yes, they didn't listen to me."
Although Hiiragi has also thought about reading the file, but since he can't change the plot of [Fusang City crashing into the Golden Station] by dividing Fusang City into two halves, I'm afraid it's the same even if you read the archive.
Because you can't hurt others, you will be stopped from destroying the mechanism in advance, and there is still a high chance that it will evolve like this.
"But, Lord Nangong, why did such a hard Fusang City become two halves?"
"I cut it open."
"Oh, what, what?"
The girl named Loach had a look of disbelief.
The young man who stood up from the ground and patted his trouser leg pointed to the exit.
"Don't listen to him bragging, it must be because of other reasons, how can humans destroy Juncheng, even Kabane is difficult to do, compared to this, I want to know how Nangong you learned about the situation in Fusang City."
"You've heard of the ability to predict, and it's normal that you won't believe it."
"Whatever you want, hurry up, hurry up, let's get out of here too, I believe everyone will rush towards the side of the Iron City."
"Are you going to run away?"
"Of course! Humanity is no match for Kabane......"
Xiao Sheng's face turned a little blue, and he became nervous, urging the two of them to leave here quickly.
The main plot has not changed, and the secondary plots have changed a lot.
"Okay, but what should Ikoma-kun do?"
Looking in the direction of the street, Loach looked worried.
"That idiot has a big life, and he won't simply die!"
He didn't know whether he was comforting her or perfunctory, so he decided to act immediately after saying that.
Didn't stay where it was. Hiiragi also went to Kotetsu Castle with Loach and Tsuyo.
Hiiragi has also made clear what to do next.
First of all, it is necessary to follow the large forces. This is the only way to ensure the availability of supplies. It is possible to live.
After all, Hiiragi also doesn't have the ability to create, and only relies on others to provide food or something.
Not even a single day has passed yet, and the fifty-nine days up and down need materials to maintain the most basic life.
It's just that if you can make achievements on the way and be appreciated by the nobles, life will be much better.
Leaving the station used to stop, repair, and clean Sunjo, the three of them made their way to the street.
The house was engulfed in flames, screams were heard incessantly, and the screams and blood of humans stimulated the cells of the whole body.
The loach, covering its mouth and wide-eyed, could not accept such a situation. It's like the status quo of hell on earth.
Humans gnawed by Kabane become Kabane, and then continue to expand the harm.
"Help me, please...... cough cough cough ...... Don't leave me behind. β
A man crawled out of the house, but was immediately grabbed by Kabane and dragged back.
"It's Kabane!!!"
Several people who were carrying their luggage and trying to escape were attacked from behind by Kabane, who opened his mouth and bit down, his sharp teeth tearing the skin of their necks and biting out the flesh inside.
Tearing at human bodies, the Kabanes wreak havoc on the land where humans once lived.
"No, don't!!"
The man who came out of the fire screamed. He was surrounded by five or six cabanes, and before he could resist, he was bitten off his hands and feet.
"Start shooting!! Stop Kabane! β
"Launch!!"
The samurai, armed with steam cylinders, began to attack.
A samurai pulls out his own small sword from the left side. Then, as he was about to pull the trigger, he was raided by Kabane.
Jumping from the top of the house, Kabane grabbed the samurai's steam canister and moved it to the side while biting him on the arm.
The samurai, who wanted to use the small sword, did not have time to defend himself, and his arm was bitten by Kabane and then pushed against the wall.
On the side, the other people's shots hit Kabane, but they only had a knockback effect.
"Don't look at it, we can't help."
Clenched his fists, he said a little unwillingly.
In order to avoid Kabane, he asked Hiiragi and Loach to go around with him from the side.
"Everybody's become a Kabane......"
"Loach, don't be stunned! Hurry up and keep up! β
He picked up a wooden stick from the ground, and although he knew it was useless, it was better than not.
Some of the surrounding houses were engulfed in flames, and the figures moving around could tell that they were panicked.
The three of them walked through a hut, which was not large, and a few clothes that had just been washed and were still dripping outside, when a Kabane suddenly ran out of it.
Kabane's clothes were tattered, and half of his left hand had been gnawed off, but even then he was still moving very quickly.
There was flesh and blood at the corners of his mouth, and a pair of dark and red-eyed eyes looked at the loach in front of him, and pounced directly.
"Loach!!"
He swung the stick in his hand and struck Kabane in the face, who pounced on the loach.
The stick rattled, but it didn't break completely, and Kabane fell to the side from the impact.
The highly mobile Kabane immediately scrambled to his feet, screaming and waving the broken stick a second time.
"Leave it to me."
Hiiragi also kicked away from Kabane, who was about to be bitten by Kabane, and then blocked in front of the loach.
"Lord Nangong?"
"It's enough to destroy the heart, right?"
Lying on the ground, Kabane hissed and crawled forward like an animal, bounce on all fours as he went.
Hiiragi also took a step forward, and Kabane's attack was very simple, just like a carnivore.
The right hand was extended, and Kabane saw the human arm and immediately opened his mouth.
"What are you doing, Nangong!"
Seeing Hiiragi's behavior, he hurriedly got up from the ground, and he was a step slower when he wanted to stop Hiiragi.
The right hand thrust forward, and the tooth that Kabanena tried to bite Hiiragi's arm was severed, and Hiiragi's right hand successfully pierced Kabane's heart.
Bright red blood splattered from the wound and stained Hiiragi's clothes and face.
Shake your right arm. Throw Kabane's body on the ground. Hiiragi also walked over to the clothes that were still dripping. Use it to dry your right hand.
Let's find a weapon, Hiiragi doesn't want to keep his right hand stained with the blood of Kabane.
He and Loach, who didn't quite understand what had just happened, were stunned in place, and even though there was an explosion behind them, they didn't immediately reflect it.
"Just now...... Nangong you ......"
"Lord Nangong, you killed Kabane with one hand......"
They had the impression that the samurai were armed with steam cylinders fighting Kabane, but Hiiragi's actions changed their deep-seated impressions.
It's just that there is only one person who can do it, and there is only Hiiragi at the moment.
At this time, Hiiragi also found a saber around the waist of Kabane's corpse that had fallen to the ground.
Walk over and pick it up. The length is just right and can be used.
"Hurry up and run!! The East End has also been invaded by Kabane! β
"Wait for me! Also, did you see that guy from Kongoro? β
"He's gone to find his family, don't worry about it, go to the Iron City first! There are a lot of samurai over there! β
Hiiragi also overhears their conversation and runs to the road and grabs one of them.
"Can you tell me where the man named Kongoro went?"
"It's the East District, so let's run away from this!"
Hiiragi also ignored his words and moved his gaze to the east.
It's all Kabane over there......
"You flee with that group of people and go to the Iron City together."
"Hey. Nangong, aren't you going? β
"Yes, Lord Nangong, you helped us just now. So ......"
"I'm sorry, I have something to do."
With that, Hiiragi also ran directly towards the East District.
Jin Wulang is the uncle who helped him in the first iron city.
Hiiragi doesn't have a strong sense of justice, but everyone knows that there is such a thing as retribution.
"Loach, let's go first!"
Hearing the sound of the reckless life, Hiiragi waved his hand behind them, and rushed over the small hill to the eastern side.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
There are human corpses on the ground, but to Hiiragi's surprise, they weren't killed by Kabane, after all, they would have become Kabane, so it can be inferred that it was caused by people.
Humans kill humans, and in such a chaotic situation, what exactly is going on here?
Squat down and observe the corpses, some of them were knife wounds, some were gunshot wounds, and it was very likely that the samurai had done it.
"It's Kabane! What about the samurai?! Why didn't anyone come to help!! β
There were cries for help everywhere, and most of the items scattered on the ground were trampled to pieces.
The fire around him dries the air, and Hiiragi takes off his coat and looks for Gingoro.
I remember that it was the little blue sleeves with a somewhat hoarse voice, and the beard seemed to have some too.
Passing through a devastated street, along the middle of the road that stretched above, the corpses rolled down were seen.
Several Kabanes scramble for the body of a human who has long since lost consciousness, and finally tear off both arms, in an extremely bloody scene.
"Somebody help me!"
Hearing a familiar human voice, Hiiragi quickly ran towards the residential area above.
Dodging the corpses that rolled down, the wooden pillars that could not support the roof of the house on the right side broke due to the fire, and smashed into Hiiragi's side.
Stopping and dodging to the left, the heat crashed all over the body, and some of the scattered pieces of wood burned out, and they were catapulted to other places as they landed.
After dodging, Hiiragi made his way through the burning house and reached his destination.
There, Gingoro was moving a stone slab pressed against a young girl with all his might, and a piece of the wall next to it was missing.
"Uncle Kongoro."
"Huh? Nan, it's you, please, help me, this stone slab can't be moved, please save Muli. β
"I do my best."
Hiiragi also walked to the side and took a look at the scene.
"Hurry up! Kabane is coming! β
The face of the girl who was pressed below gradually turned pale, and no matter where the situation was, it was not optimistic.
"You lift the slate with all your might, and you can lift it as high as you can."
"Okay, okay, Nan, you have a way."
"Speed points."
"I see."
Gingoro's eyes widened, and he began to lift the slate in front of him vigorously.
Hiiragi also ran to the back, and by the light of the fire, he confirmed that the slate that was holding down the girl was there, and her legs were stuck there, and the slate formed a shackle with the ground, so that the girl could not escape.
The right hand reached in and touched the girl's leg, and found that she was trembling.
This at least shows that her leg is not crushed.
After confirming the exact location, Hiiragi also used his ability to speed up and cut off all the stone slabs and rubble blocks above him with his right hand.
"It's now!"
"Ahhh!!h
With a strong force, Kongoro succeeded in lifting the slate, and the girl took the opportunity to climb out from under the slate.
"Muri!"
"Gingoro!"
"It's all because of my relationship......"
Gingoro shook his head, pushed the hugging Kiri away, and handed it to Hiiragi.
"Muri, please."
"How ......"
"This ......"
Kongoro took off half of his clothes, there was a wound near his shoulder, and one was bitten out to the wound.
"I was bitten by Kabane when I rushed over, I'm sorry Ah Muri, please take Muri and escape, Jia Tiecheng is over there."
"No, don't, Kongoro, I'm not leaving!"
Without answering the girl's words, Gingoro also gave Hiiragi a look.
Do you want to take the wood away?
Hiiragi also thinks that he can read the archive to save Gingoro, provided that there is enough time.
If it is not enough, it will only repeat such misfortunes......
"Let's go!!"
Gingoro finally stopped being silent and urged loudly.
Hiiragi also picked up Kiri, whose foot was injured, and didn't let her struggle, and ran in the direction of Kotetsu Castle.
And also......
Kongoro's voice was heard.
"I'm not an uncle......"
Then, his figure was engulfed in flames.
The flame was like proof that the world had become hell, engulfing everything, including the illusory bonds. (To be continued.) )
