-- Dumb bombs. It's all come to this point, and it turns out to be a dud.

Rentaro felt weak, and knelt down directly with his eyes wide.

Probing from behind the boulder, Aldebaran, who had just been struggling, propped up his body and turned his head to find the location of Rentaro and the others.

It's hopeless. The Tokyo area will be ravaged. Everyone is going to die.

"Brother Rentaro."

Rentaro turned his head weakly and saw Tong Sheng crossing his hands on his chest restlessly.

Rentaro avoided her gaze and lowered his head.

The battle was lost - I couldn't tell her anything.

Rentaro felt like his chest was being torn.

It's a battle that can't be lost.,Obviously sworn with her to save the Tokyo area.。

At this moment, Rentaro felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and suddenly remembered something.

No, there is a way. There is only one way left.

Miori once mentioned it when explaining how to use the EP bomb.

"Just turn the EP bomb body to the scale and it will explode in three minutes. This bomb is not very resistant to external forces, so it must not be subjected to a strong impact after turning. ”

That's right, a strong shock.

In addition to timing fuses, there are other methods of detonation of bombs.

However, unlike timed fuzes, detonation by impact occurs instantaneously. As long as the detonation is carried out at close range, the parties cannot stay away from the explosion.

The job requires a victim, and there is no escaping that.

Rentaro unconsciously let out a helpless sigh of "ahhhhh

He slowly closed his eyes and let out a long breath.

Unbelievably quick to come to your senses.

There was the sound of flames burning vigorously. The clash of swords and halberds. A foul smell emitted by the burning of a living organism. Every breath you breathe feels like your lungs are being burned by air. Throat thirsty. However, this qiē is irreplaceable, which makes Rentaro reluctant to give up.

He bent his knees to hug her with Tong Sheng's gaze and rested his chin on her shoulder. Then he whispered in her ear:

"I'm sorry, I'm saying goodbye to you."

"Why?"

"You should know the current situation, and I'm sure you can understand it."

Tong Sheng held the hand on Rentaro's shoulder, grabbed his uniform and rubbed it with all his might. She's already aware of it.

Gently shook his head on Rentaro's chest. Barely squeezing out a faint sound. She cried.

"Don't go."

"Tendo Combat Technique Type 1 Twelve-"

"Stop."

"-- 'Flashing in the air'."

A dull sound sounded, and Tong Sheng's body floated. was hit by Rentaro's punch in a tight state, and the impact force was transmitted to her body without reservation. Her crimson eyes darkened, swaying as if she were saying something. His knees were bent and he leaned weakly on Rentaro.

Rentaro put his hand on the back of the head of the fainting Tong Sheng, carefully let her lie on the ground, and then stood up.

He lifted his face and stared intently at Aldebaran as he raged on the Flame Battlefield.

The timing fuse was not activated.

The only remaining method is to detonate the bomb with impact.

- In order to annihilate Aldebaran, the protozoan of Phase IV, it is necessary to have Satomi Rentaro complete the mission by self-destructing.

Luckily, this job requires only one person. It takes less than two people.

Rentaro glanced at Tong Sheng, who had fainted. Resolutely walked towards Aldebaran. A gust of wind blew, and the tattered coat was lifted.

He always felt that this day would come sooner or later. As long as you continue this kind of killing work, one day the clutches of death will reach out to you. He had already come to his senses.

The time has come. Do your duty, Rentaro Satomi.

Where the bomb was planted, there are charred black scars as clear markers. However, in order to penetrate deep into the enemy's body and inflict an impact on the EP bomb, it is necessary to deliver a strong blow first.

The right prosthetic hand is gone. There is not a single round left in the foot magazine. Covered in devastation. Covered in wounds. There have been countless wounds, large and small. Exercise capacity is markedly attenuated.

But I can only bite the bullet.

I feel the sand rubbing against the soles of my shoes and stop. The aching lungs inhale the heat of the flames of the battlefield.

"I'm here."

Aldebaran discovers Rentaro. The target is 30 meters ahead. Aldebaran let out a roar that shook violently, and the tentacles on his back swung like madness.

At the same time, Rentaro also ran desperately.

Super-giant protosagulars slash down from above the speed of sound at the speed of meteorite fall.

Rentaro jumps sideways, dodging the initial blow. However, the opponent estimates his evasion position in advance. Unleash a second blow. He let out a beastly cry and ran wildly, dodging the second blow with a single shot. The rock smashed by the tentacles hit him on the side of his head, and his vision shook violently. The pain almost made him faint, and he could only grit his teeth and barely maintain consciousness.

However, those attacks were just tricks.

Wait until the tentacles spread out to restore your sight. Aldebaran's sunken mouthparts have spat green mucus into it.

A chill ran down Rentaro's back. He hurriedly raised his hand to defend his face, only to make a mistake where he should be protected.

The mucus-stained right prosthetic foot emitted white smoke and slowly bleached. Rentaro's eyes widened when he didn't know what was going on, but he soon discovered the truth about the thing, and gritted his teeth at his mistake.

That's holmium erosion fluid.

Case. Just rush before the erosion is complete. On closer inspection, Aldebaran's huge body was close to the eyebrows.

At the other end of the eight legs of the stone pillar, Rentaro finds the scar from his previous attack. Just create a strong impact there. It should be able to detonate the bomb.

It is less than ten meters away from Aldebaran.

It's just that it can't attack on its own if it shrinks its body. If only I could reach the goal smoothly.

However, Rentaro suddenly loses his center of gravity and falls where there is nothing.

- Huh?

He only saw the ground getting closer and closer, and his face fell into the mud and groaned.

Rentaro looked at his right leg in fear.

"Why, how could it be?"

Gone.

Disappeared below the base of his right thigh. It's a joke, there is only the white ash of the crumbling legs, and the super-holmium alloy prosthetic foot, the next generation of metal vertices developed by mankind, is completely gone.

Rentaro's whole body trembled violently with fear.

You can't walk without that. There's no that--

At this moment, Aldebaran suddenly turned his back to him. It turns out that it uses centrifugal force to shake its tail, and the tail hits the dirt on the ground. Approaching at breakneck speed.

Rentaro hurriedly rolled into the nearby bowl-shaped hollow. There was an amazing rumble overhead. Even though he avoided a direct hit, the shockwave from his tail still blew Rentaro's body up like a dead leaf, and his back hit the protruding rock.

He felt the nasty sensation of a broken bone as he slowly left the rock and fell, his face hitting the mud on the ground. Maybe it's a broken rib, and with every breath, I feel the pressure all over my body, and my lungs can't breathe in oxygen smoothly. Breathing also became short and rapid. Rentaro barely supported his body with his hands, but the next second he vomited blood violently, and the muddy ground was stained red with blood.

He wiped the corners of his mouth in disbelief, spreading his fingers in front of his eyes, his palms turning bright red.

Suddenly. He was like a puppet with a broken string, losing his strength and falling to the ground. A cold sweat broke out. Obviously, my heart is very anxious, but no matter how hard I try, my body still can't move.

Finally decided to resign himself to fate and slowly turned over on the mud floor.

I'm going to die here.

Coming here was finally abandoned by the god of luck. But my foundation is not good. The world is hopeless and incurable. The fate of mass extinction is one of the reasons. That's what it is, anyway.

The field of vision becomes distorted. Everything was painted black with despair, and his eyelids became heavier and heavier.

"Rentaro, it's really miserable."

"Huh?"

At this moment, the sound of rustling sounded, and his vision was drowned out by the swaying hem of his long coat.

But Rentaro still recognized the other party's identity.

The beautiful long hair that didn't match the gender at all was good, and there was no one else but the adult.

"Lord Yang Xi, how could you?"

"Well, I've always seen everyone's efforts. I feel your desperate desire to protect the Tokyo area. Anyway, I'm also the nominal head of the police corps, so I can't always hide behind and watch the show, right? Next, it's up to me. ”

With Yang Xi's wave. Satomi Rentaro was shocked to find that his corroded holmium alloy prosthetic was actually restored!

Rentaro's eyes widened, he didn't expect that Lord Yang Xi could not only heal his physical injuries, but even the lifeless metal could be restored!

In fact, for Yang Xi, there is no difference between the two. After all, his beast "Water Spirit's White Steel" ability is to recover, so that a qiē can return to its original state, no matter what kind of thing it is. As long as you don't exceed your capabilities, you can do it.

Rentaro, who stood up from the ground, watched as Yang Xi stretched out his hand towards Aldebaran, and then, a black light that his prosthetic eye could not see clearly shot towards Aldebaran not far away.

The sound faded from his ears, and blind, intense flashes of light and fireballs appeared. Blown away by the shock wave containing the hot wire, Rentaro rolled many times to the back of the hill and lay on his back on the ground.

Then he saw it.

The fireballs generated by the EP bomb are vertically elongated by the updraft, sucking up dust and building debris on the surface, forming a huge mushroom cloud.

"Report of the Third Battle of the Kanto Region"

The successive fighting behaviors with the original aragut "Scorpio" at the end of April 2031 and the arachthalic animal "Aldebaran" in mid-July of the same year have caused the following cumulative damage to the Tokyo area.

The combat strength of the Ground Self-Defense Force in the Tokyo area has decreased by 83%.

The combat strength of the Tokyo Area Maritime Self-Defense Force has been reduced by 45%.

The combat strength of the Tokyo Area Air Self-Defense Force has been reduced by 95%.

The number of registered partners of the private security companies in the Tokyo area decreased by 43%.

All members of the auxiliary forces who achieved results in this campaign were promoted to the ranks.

Feeling that it was difficult to protect the country, the Tokyo area decided to recruit strong foreign police officers by giving priority to the supply of holmium ore.

The Tokyo area is the first case in the world to be spared a mass extinction after the collapse of a megalith. (To be continued......)
