Chapter 23: Meeting

The crescent-shaped harbor is home to numerous fishing boats and dinghies.

It is conceivable that this small town may have struggled with population emigration before the war. Staring into the goosebump-inducing silence of the town in the distance, a church-like building was lit up.

The silence was broken by the sudden sound of gunfire, and the initial sound was used as a signal for the start of battle, and the sound of cracked gunfire and high-pitched exchanges continued.

The battle began.

Yang Xi glanced back, and there was a low roar and a roar coming from the lush forest they had crossed earlier. The sound of gunfire from the municipality wakes up the gastulation, which is communicating with their companions at a variety of different frequencies.

Xia Shi also expected this, so he planned to stay behind, wanting to buy enough time for Yang Xi to deal with Leech Shadow Yin and take back the "Inheritance of the Seven Stars".

Suddenly, a four-legged beast swooped down like a bullet. Xia Shi liberated his own forces to clash with the guy head-on and stop the enemy's charge. The guy who flew at it was a deer-type protosagular, with horns all over its upper body. Natsuyo's abdomen was pierced by a few horns, but he still shoved the shotgun into the mouth of the ferocious aragut, and pulled the trigger without allowing a shot.

The gastrulation animal emits "Quack! After that, he was knocked away and did not move.

Although Xia Shi was bleeding from his abdomen, he still turned his head casually, "Lord Yang Xi, you have also seen that if no one is here to stop the pursuers, we will all be wiped out regardless of whether we win or lose." ”

Natsushi unusually calmly inserted the fully automatic shotgun into the ground, put down his backpack and lined up all the reserve magazines on the ground. She was preparing for a complete fight, and the abdomen she had been piercing before was recovering at this time.

In the scene where Xia Shi was injured just now, Yang Xi obviously had plenty of time to save her, but he gave up.

Looking at Natsuyo, who is strong and ready to fight, he also understands that all "cursed children" have been fighting since the moment they were born. It's not just about fighting humans and gastroids, it's about being caught between humans and gastrulations. A brutal battle of fate that is not accepted by both sides!

Why are they so appealing to them? Isn't that exactly what it is?!

Xia Shi in the evening breeze is so petite, it looks as if she will fall when the wind blows, but her capable movements and calm expression show that she is not a weak and bullying little girl.

Xia Shi carried the shotgun on his shoulder and fired into the sky. A few shotguns seemed to hit something, like the silhouette of a strange bird screaming and falling into the forest.

"Lord Yang Xi, you go first, leave it to me first, and when it is solved here, I will go over to help, please do everything."

In the original book, Satomi Rentaro believed her words, so she fought until the last moment. So much so that the erosion rate exceeds the critical point, that is, the gastrulation.

How could Yang Xi let such a tragedy happen again?!

Such a lovely Xia Shi, how could such a strong Xia Shi let her die like this?!!!

"It's okay, Natsuyo."

Qingqing put his hand on her head, Yang Xi slowly squatted down, and hugged her tense body that was ready to fight to the death into his arms, "Na, Xia Shi, we said before, we want to be a pair." How could I leave you alone. To go, let's go together, to stay, let's stay together! ”

"Lord Yang Xi. You're too cunning to do this."

The heat that welled up in his chest made the tears flow down uncontrollably, Xia Shi turned around, buried his head in Yang Xi's arms, and cried quietly.

Death or something, everyone is afraid. But when people live in this world, there are times when they have to face death.

Xia Shi is indeed mentally prepared to die as a starter. But. She can see through Yang Xi's thoughts, why can't her thoughts also be seen through by Yang Xi?

More and more protosagulars approached, surrounding Yang Xi and Xia Shi, who were hugging each other. Tilting his head and looking around, Xia Shi was curious why these protogulars didn't attack. Just then, a large figure appeared and told her the answer.

It was over six meters long. Reptiles have hideous faces and long necks that constantly spit out red tongues. The face is covered with small warts, and Natsuyo, who is located downwind, can smell a strong bad breath that looks like carrion. The body is green, and the skeleton of the arms has evolved into wings, and it goes without saying that the proto-intestinal animals mixed with birds are mixed with birds.

It resembles a dragon from a fairy tale.

There is no doubt that this is the stage IV protogulls - they don't know how to mix several birds and reptiles, and once they have evolved to this stage, it is difficult to distinguish the genes of the original organisms.

In the gastroids, the concept of class is also very obvious, and when food appears, of course, it is the strong who have the priority to enjoy the right to eat.

Xia Shi is already desperate.

If she still has the confidence to intercept other protozoa with weapons, then in the face of this level of existence, it is no longer something she can deal with.

Stage IV is the strongest of the protozoa below Stage V, and it is also a predator that has evolved to the limit.

Their predators, of course, are other organisms that have not been infected with the original intestinal virus, including humans, of course.

"Lord Yang Xi, are we going to die?"

"Fool, how can I die with me?"

Affectionately kissed Xia Shi on the forehead, Yang Xi smiled and stretched out his hand to the gastrulation of that stage IV. In Xia Shi's puzzled gaze, all the protozoa around him burst open.

Blood and flesh splattered, staining the nearby trees and the ground a vivid blood red.

On the ground, there are still some remnants of broken internal organs that are slowly wriggling, proving the tenacity of the vitality of the original intestines.

I thought it was a desperate situation, but there was a turning point, and even with Xia Shi's mind as high as two hundred and ten, it was a little sluggish. For no other reason, this kind of scene is really shocking!

That's right, although Yang Xi could make these protozoars disappear in a more harmonious way, there was nothing more trembling than this simple and crude primitive way. What he wants is to create a great image of omnipotence in Xia Shi's heart. Otherwise, if she encounters this situation in the future, if she has low confidence in herself, she will want to stand up and sacrifice herself. This kind of thing, Yang Xi doesn't want to see it a second time.

The wind blew, and the strong bloody breath stimulated Xia Shi's nasal cavity. She finally came back to her senses and looked at Yang Xi with a complicated gaze that could not be described in words.

"What? Suddenly looking at me with such strange eyes? ”

"Lord Yang Yangxi, I don't understand, why did you choose to be my partner with such a powerful person? Obviously, with your strength, you can find a better starter."

"Xiao Xia Shi was worried about his lack of ability, so he held me back!"

Seeing Xia Shi's rare blush, Yang Xi rubbed her face, "Xia Shi, what do you think should be the relationship between the initiator and the promoter between the police?" ”

"Mutual cooperation? No, it's supposed to be using each other. "I thought about it. Xia Shi gave such an answer.

"Indeed, there are many police officers who use starters as combat tools, and many starters use promoters as a springboard or bridge to live a normal life. However, Natsuyo, I want you to be my starter, not because of how much benefit you can bring me, but because I unilaterally like you and want to protect you, do you understand?! The so-called making you my initiator is just to give you a reason to follow me more easily. ”

"Okay. I understand, Lord Yang Xi is not only a perverted Lolitacon, but also a super perverted Lolita who proposed to Lori who just turned ten. ”

Xia Shi said in an emotionless tone, his eyes were full of disdain.

"I'm a super perverted lolicon, I'm really sorry! But Xia Shi. Even so, would you still like to be my starter? ”

rubbed her face, which had almost no expression, and directly rubbed her fair face red.

Xia Shi, who was quite dissatisfied with this, frowned, and then said in a very helpless tone: "Hey~ Lord Yang Xi is so perverted. If no one spies on you, you will definitely harm many innocent girls. I had no choice but to risk my life and sacrifice myself to feed the wolves. ”

After speaking. Xia Shi walked out of Yang Xi's arms, stood in front of him and bowed deeply, "Qianshou Xia Shi is grateful for Lord Yang Xi's wrong love, please take care of me in the future." ”

"Well, although Natsuyo is still young, he has the temperament of Yamato Nadeshiko! Come, kiss one! ”

Picking up Xia Shi, the happy Yang Xi didn't care whether she agreed or not, and directly left a lot of saliva on her tender face.

"Lord Yang Xi, please don't do this, it will bother me."

"What's the matter, come, let me kiss it twice"

Holding Xia Shi like this, Yang Xi walked in the direction of the town.

In the field of vision, the town gradually grows larger. Judging from the fact that the houses and small buildings are still in their original appearance, the residents who used to live here must have abandoned their homes and fled to Tokyo before the invasion of the intestines.

Although the exterior of the house remains largely unchanged, it is not complete. Generally speaking, houses and buildings that have been de-heated have to face a strong temperature difference between heat and cold, and the process of repeated expansion and contraction has led to serious damage to the exterior walls. The town had to be further aggravated by the salty sea breeze corroding the building materials.

Looking at this decaying and crumbling town, Yang Xi couldn't help but feel how fragile the artificial environment was.

Countless ships at anchor were covered in rust, and fishing boats even turned into deformed shapes that resembled ghost ships. Whenever the wind blows, those night silhouettes make a piercing rattle.

The two slowly approached the spot where the gunshots had been fired.

Xia Shi's face became solemn.

From just now, the sound of gunfire and confrontation has completely disappeared. If you have defeated Shadow Yin, you should have heard the victory cheers of the police. Why is it so quiet?

As a result, it seems to have come out, and it is the kind that Xia Shi very much does not want to see.

At this time, there was a sudden sound of blunt objects hitting the bungalow, and I followed the sound to look over.

"Where's my sword?"

"Ah~ Mr. General!!"

The man in the skull scarf slumped on the stool of the grocery store, and slowly stood up and staggered as soon as he heard Natsushi's exclamation.

It seems that he has lost his eyesight.

"Xia Shi, is that you? Do you know where my sword is? As long as I have that, I can fight again."

Xia Shi opened his mouth slightly, and could only look at the scene of the broken long-handled sword stuck in the back of the prisoner.

The general who walked in front of Yang Xi knelt on the ground, coughed up a lot of blood, and finally lay down.

The guy couldn't move anymore.

General Yi Xiong is still dead as in the original book, and the situation of other police officers is the same.

Ever since entering here, the fresh human blood that permeated the air had continuously stimulated Yang Xi's sense of smell. Seeing night as day, he even saw the corpses of many policemen scattered in different places, and there were many different heads. The marks of the sharp blade were clearly from Binet-chan.

Walking to the road, Yang Xi happened to see the head of a starter placed there, and her face was still full of horror before she died.

The corpses of initiators and promoters piled up on the road. They seemed to have been shot quickly, and the road was stained with blood. Several of the faces that Yang Xi had seen in the conference room of the Ministry of Defense were also mixed in the pile of corpses.

About 100 meters away, there is a church with an open door.

The candlesticks hanging on the wall are brilliant and bright. The Holy Cross, located on the roof of the church, looks down indifferently on the hell below.

"Dad, there are still people alive!"

At this time, there was a sound from the trestle, and Xia Shi turned his head.

The pair stood in front of the pier and looked out to sea.

One of them had two swords stuck at his waist and was dressed in a black jumpsuit. The other is a weirdo in a burgundy tuxedo, a mask, and a top hat.

Xia Shi couldn't imagine his eyes, that pair of partners faced so many experienced policemen, and they could still be unharmed after all of them were annihilated!

However, such a situation did not surprise Yang Xi. Or rather, he already knew the result from the beginning.

Leech Shadow Yin, a new human weapon born as a counter-antigen enteroanimal, coupled with his mantis factor, Leech Binet, an invincible initiator of the same rank in melee combat, it is too easy to kill this group of policemen.

"Oh~ I didn't expect that the last one to come was not Satomi-san, which was really unexpected by me."

After seeing Yang Xi holding Xia Shi, the leech Yingyin exclaimed. Although he did beat Satomi Rentaro to the brink of death and seriously injured him before, he didn't think that the Satomi Rentaro he was optimistic about was really dead like that.

His intuition is indeed very good, if it weren't for Yang Xi's intervention, the last one to arrive would indeed be Rentaro.

But

"I'm sorry to disappoint you, but the Rentaro-san, you're expecting, is still recuperating in the hospital. What about the chest? Leech Shadow, I think you can leave it to me for safekeeping. (To be continued......)
