[This time, you are alone to complete the task of the next world, anyway, you have already encountered such a situation once, and before you met Miss Xiaonai, you lived alone in the infinite world. I'm quite optimistic about you, Nangong Hiiragi also has the characteristics you have, strange thoughts, abnormal behavior, and the changes that have occurred so far, all of which are worth observing. Don't ask me what the next world is, you'll know when you go anyway, as for the mission...... What kind of mission is appropriate for that world? What do you think is the right assignment? Do you want to continue playing as a hero? Do you want to be the head of a country? Or is there something else in mind. Either way, this time it won't be too difficult for you, but just because it's not difficult doesn't mean it can be done easily. You've played the savior, the wicked, and you don't have any other roles to play, right? In that case, protect yourself. The task is ......]

- In the next world, live sixty days in a way that harms no one.

This is Hiiragiya's memory, and it is also the words that the Lord God himself heard before arriving in this world.

Back to the present, the situation in the present is......

Hiiragi also leaned against the cold iron wall, and the cold air of the ground and the stench mixed with kerosene and sweat filled the entire space.

At the same time, Hiiragi also used the moonlight spilling in from the slender window to confirm the several men lying in front of him.

They were dressed in samurai costumes and looked up at the roof tiredly, but the roof was nothing more than neat rows of pipes.

Moving his body, Hiiragi realized that there were guys resting against the wall like everyone else.

The man who was hit by Hiiragi ignored Hiiragi and snorted softly. Moved towards an empty place.

As a matter of fact. This is not a room. Rather, it's the carriage of a train.

It wasn't long before the men's shouts were heard and the train moved.

Immediately afterward, the roar of the train came to my ears through the ground and walls, and the orange lights that lit up above my head seemed to be in poor contact, and flickered and flickered under the shaking of the train.

Hiiragi also stood up from the cold and shaking ground, and noticed that the clothes on his body had changed.

It is woven with feathers on the top and hakama on the bottom. There is also a shirt inside, in fact, there is a small black sleeve in the middle of the feather and the undergarment.

This black sleeve is just a color difference between it and the red sleeve of the hero in "Rogue Kenshin", and everything else is the same.

Subconsciously touched his crotch with both hands, but fortunately he didn't change the clothes inside into the crotch cloth that ancient Japanese men loved......

With nothing to do, Hiiragi also propped his hands on the iron walls of the train and leaned his head to the slender window to peek into the outside world.

The first thing you see is the sea, and there is a village near the sea, where you can faintly see human activity.

No. Is that really human?

The figures had a bright orange-red glow on their chests, as if they were attached to their hearts. As those figures moved.

Immediately afterward, the people in the field of vision jumped up and down on the roof of the building in a strange way, not at all like a human could do it.

"Don't go near the window! Do you want to be like them!? Youngster!!! ”

Suddenly, a man with a scar on his face yelled at Hiiragi from another carriage.

Immediately afterward, another group of men appeared, handing out the weapons they had brought with them.

Hiiragi also got a copy.

"It's all ready for me! I'm about to pass by the station, and I'm all in good spirits, if I still want to live! ”

Looking at the weapons that the people around him began to equip, Hiiragi couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

After being teleported by the main god, he didn't figure out what was going on, and he was immediately ordered to do these things, which is something that everyone will hesitate.

"Young man over there, what are you doing in a daze!? Be careful that I throw it out of the Iron City! ”

"Iron City?"

Hiiragi also repeated it, not without an impression of these words, but the memory content of these words was a little vague.

"Listen to me, put on your gear immediately, and then it's no joke! If you want to become a Kabane, jump out now. ”

"Yes, yes! Equip it now! ”

"Very good, everyone is in place, the Iron City may be expected to arrive at the Xianjin Post early, because the next walled city is ...... You all know that. ”

With that, Scar Man left the carriage with the others.

Seeing Scar Man disappear from his field of vision, Hiiragi suddenly remembered a part of his memories of this world.

Speaking of the premise alone, it is - since the world was driven by the waves of the industrial revolution, from the modern era to the modern era, the immortal monster suddenly appeared. Covered in a steel membrane, it will not be destroyed as long as the heart is not destroyed, and it seems that those who bite it will also come back to life after dying once and begin to attack humans. These monsters, known as Kabane, proliferated explosively and covered the entire world.

In order to resist the threat posed by the Kabane, the people of Japan, a country in the Far East, built walled castles called 'post villages' in various places, trapped them and tried to survive.

The only thing that could travel between the posts was the armored steam locomotive (Sunjo), and for this reason, the stations were able to ensure their livelihood through the integration of their respective products.

The station responsible for the production of steam engines and iron-making is the next station that Hiiragi will arrive at next, called "Kinekaneki".

According to the direction of the plot, I'm afraid that the crisis will come to the "Golden Station" in the near future.

"I'll help."

A man who was shorter than Hiiragi walked up to Hiiragi and told him to turn around.

Because Hiiragi didn't know much about how to use these equipment, he didn't object.

First of all, the abdomen is covered with something like leather armor, which can also be used to equip other props while playing a protective role.

Once secured, the central part of the cub is fastened with iron rings, through which the trachea is connected to the tail shaped like a powder gun, and behind it is a canister that is securely fastened to it by a fixed belt and iron armor.

Look at the firearm in your hand. After pulling the trigger. It is not bullets that are fired. It's a gas jet.

"Remember, young man, don't break your knapsack engine, because that's the way you can get the magazine-filled steam gun in your hand, or the steam cylinder as it's often called, to work. But since you will appear here, I am afraid that it is because someone taught you that you are qualified to get on the bus. ”

Hiiragi also nodded perfunctorily, but he was quite grateful to this uncle.

However, it is a pity. Hiiragi was also sent straight over, without any training at all.

Thinking of this, Hiiragi also put the neat tube aside, raised his right hand and moved it......

It's okay, you can use the ability.

Not only that, Hiiragi also brought over the [All-Domain Almighty Light Jade] that Anz had given him in the past, just in case of emergency.

I don't know what kind of situation is going on Xiao Nagi's side, and what kind of mission will be assigned by the main god?

With everything ready, another long waiting time followed.

"It's getting harder and harder."

"Is it difficult to solve the problem of food and clothing?"

"Isn't that right? Because after the fall of some post stations, the materials that were originally used for exchange were destroyed. Even if they survived, they couldn't get it, so the lives of the people between the various stations became more and more difficult. I hope my wife can eat enough. ”

"Can't you just go over and get those supplies?"

"What stupid are you talking about, just avoiding Kabane is hard enough, and fighting him head-on is undoubtedly a dead end."

With that, the man picked up the steam cartridge in his hand.

"Although this thing replaces the powder gun that cannot be mass-produced, it is much less powerful and cannot destroy Kabane's heart at all."

"That...... Kabane's heart is wrapped in steel, and he didn't think about making other weapons? ”

In Hiiragi's view, the best way for humans to face unknown monsters is to develop technology.

Powerful weapons can destroy enemies, which is much better than blindly escaping.

But......

"Don't be kidding, young man, just surviving is troublesome enough."

Yes, this is also true.

Humans living in the shadows are more realistic for such people to constantly escape and survive than to create weapons to resist.

Not everyone can give their lives for things like world peace.

Trying to defeat the enemy means making sacrifices, so who will take on such a role?

The fact that the Lord God allowed him to live for sixty days without harming others meant that his power could not attack ordinary people......

In this way, it will be greatly limited.

"But it's not without thinking about the day when Kabanedu disappears. But I'm not a daydreamer, and now I have to fight! ”

In any world, there are such simple and hot-blooded people.

Looking at the uncle who stood up, Hiiragi also raised his right fist.

"Oh, let's live."

As long as you can live, anything is possible.

Hiiragi's steel dragon roared along the tracks, and the loud roar carried the train forward.

The moon outside was obscured by dark clouds at some point, and the occasional wind blowing in from the slender window made people feel that the air flow outside had become a little urgent.

"By the way, you still want to know what kind of creature is Kabane, this book was given to you, and I picked it up in the library of the inn last time."

"Oh, thank you very much."

Catching a book that the man had thrown to him, Hiiragi sat down in his position and read by the orange light above.

The ecology of Kabane – It has been 20 years since Kabane landed in Japan. People are confined to the post house, living a life of extreme avoidance of contact with the Kabane, but through the hands of a very small number of researchers, the following conditions have been determined.

Kabane's reaction to human blood is to attack, gnaw, and drain blood, but it does not appear to be sucking out blood, but rather continuing to move on to the next target even if the opponent is not killed after biting for a certain amount of time. In addition, even if they do not suck blood, they do not seem to be necessary for their survival. Why did Kabane attack humans......

After being bitten by a Kabane, they do not immediately turn into Kabane - most humans attacked by Kabane will die from heavy bleeding, but not immediately. After a certain period of 'suspended animation', the heart glows and is resurrected. The time it takes to become a kabane varies from person to person. On the other hand, if you are bitten by Kabane and escape smoothly, you will remain unchanged for a while, but you will be resurrected as Kabane after a sudden fake death. This is called the incubation period within the cabane, and it varies greatly from person to person, but it can occur within three days at most.

The only way to stop Kabane is to destroy his heart, which heals immediately even if it causes damage to Kabane's body, and continues to move even if his head is damaged, but if it is destroyed, it will turn back into a normal corpse, which is already known. However, its heart is covered in a tissue called the 'Iron Membrane', which makes it difficult for not only knives but also bullets to penetrate the Iron Membrane. It is necessary to have a very high level of swordsmanship, or to shoot multiple shots at the same place. During this period, if you are bitten, everything will be stopped, and when you actually face Kabane, it is the best policy for ordinary people not to clash head-on but to trap the city.

Just like a zombie, Cocabane can be said to be the superior of zombies, after all, the movement speed, strength and defense will be much higher than ordinary zombies.

In other words, it can also be seen as a variant of the T virus......

As I continued to read the next article, a girl's voice sounded from the pipe that served as a microphone next to me.

[When you are about to pass through the scrap area, please prepare for the impact.] 】

Before he finished speaking, the atmosphere around him changed.

The man who was chatting with Hiiragi just now was holding a steam cylinder and waiting, and the horn of the train resounded in the sky.

The man kicked Hiiragi in the thigh, making him stand up and prepare for battle.

Hiiragi also put the book in his arms for the time being, picked up the steam cylinder, and ran to the slender window, feeling the vibration of the iron castle driving on the railway.

In the pitch darkness, which can only be seen through the small window of the steam canister, there are countless figures standing above the ruins not far away.

Those people were originally ordinary humans, but now they have become the same kind of Kabane, and they have become monsters.

These are the enemies of humanity......

The next moment, the train was hit by an object and shook violently, presumably with the front of the car hitting Kabane.

"The damn monster is coming!!!!!!!!"

The words of a man behind him heralded the beginning of the battle.

Right in front of Hiiragi, a Kabanai appeared lying on the surface of the Iron Castle.

The whites of its eyes turned pure black, and its pupils were as deep red as blood.

Brightly colored nerves are found everywhere and in the eyes.

This is Kabane, the enemy of humanity. (To be continued.) )
