Chapter 196: The War Begins
As the sun sets, in the Tendo Civil Security Company, which is illuminated by the orange light, Kigen shatters Rentaro's incompetence because there are no customers coming to her door, Tina brings out tea to appease her, Yeonju loots the food stored in the refrigerator without authorization to steal it, and Rentaro, who is appointed to work in finance, fights against difficult accounting software and fights to the death with a lot of numbers. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
This is obviously a memory from not long ago, but in retrospect, it fades like an old photo, and Rentaro oozes tears slightly.
Why, so far away?
Why, an ordinary scene in daily life is such an irreplaceable precious memory.
It's almost like picking out only the kissing scene and editing it into a fast-turning happy movie, and the feeling of hopelessness and powerlessness fills Rentaro's chest.
"Rentaro. Suddenly, someone called out to him.
The silhouette of the other party is blurry at first, but gradually a vivid image forms on the retina.
The square face and glasses, more than half of the hair is white, and the bulging cheeks squeeze out deep laugh lines, giving people a very gentle impression, but the corners around the forehead give people the illusion of bitterness and hatred.
It's so similar to what Rentaro looks like on weekdays.
"Father?" said Rentaro blankly.
Takaharu Satomi - Ten years ago, Rentaro's father died when he was only six years old.
"My mom and I will be over soon. As he said this, he stuffed Rentaro into a fully booked train and told his son that the family he was going to evacuate was Tendo's family.
All Rentaro could do was weakly reach out and tell her, "Don't leave me." ”
However, in the end, my father did not go to the Tokyo area for refuge.
By the time Rentaro meets his parents again, they have already been put in a coffin, and only photos can recall their faces.
"Rentaro......" The voice called Rentaro again.
Tears rolled down Rentaro's cheeks.
Why didn't you come along, didn't you say you'd be there soon? Didn't you say you'd come with your mother?
Deceitful. I believe in you so much, I love you so much, Father......
The surroundings fell into darkness, and it was replaced by a face with a white beard, and it was Tiantong Kikunojo, who looked at it with an unquestioning gaze: "If you don't want to die, then try to live, Rentaro." ”
Tears blurred vision, followed by voices.
“...... Satomi-san............ Satomi-san. ”
"Daddy?" Rentaro opened his eyes in confusion.
The blurred vision showed a square face, but at some point it turned into a cold white mask, with a funny smile and a strange look in the narrow eyes.
"Goo!"
The path between dreams and reality was cut off, and Rentaro jumped up reflexively, and then his head made a hard contact with a hard object next to him, making a muffled thud.
The severe pain made his eyes darken, and Rentaro, who had just woken up, almost fainted.
Mikasa hurriedly removed the butt of his rifle and looked at the back of Rentaro's head with some embarrassment, thinking that it must have hurt.
"Your father wears a mask, too. Leech Shadow leaned over her face, and the white funny mask enlarged in front of Rentaro's eyes.
"Stop, shut up!"
Not wanting to be seen by the other party on his hot cheeks, Rentaro turned around impatiently, but the pain in his abdomen hit again.
He pressed his face with the palm of his hand, and shook his head with his eyes that did not obey the call: "Here is ......"
"Sleepy. This is inside the waterfall. But there's not quite something right out there, so let's go out and take a look. Ying Yin replied casually.
Rentaro nodded, his head as if stuffed with mud, and his consciousness was hazy as he bent over and crawled out of the waterfall pothole, the huge spherical footprints still imprinted on the ground, and something crawled in the center of the footprints.
Looking at it this way, it appears that Aldebaran is moving on his stomach, with at least six legs.
The wind blowing through was cold and biting, making everyone who was already vigilant more and more nervous, but Mikasa was surprisingly calm, and several people looked at her face with some confusion, not knowing where this girl's confidence came from.
After Yu Feibai left, Mikasa was the weakest person present, was she really not afraid of being left behind?
At first, they were warn of the presence of gastrators, but Rentaro soon realized that what Kageyin said was wrong.
It's so quiet that there's not even a single insect or bird call, and the original animals don't seem to be interested in ordinary animals, and the original animals aren't afraid of them.
"Are there no more gastrators nearby?" asked Rentaro, holding his head, as if a bag had swollen up from the back.
Ying Yin spread his hands: "Yes." Just now I sent little Binet to the camp to investigate, but it turned out to be empty. ”
"This ......"
Rentaro felt like he had been poured cold water on his head.
"All gone, not a single one?"
"That's right. It seems that the Aldebaran Legion is starting to move. ”
Move. Needless to say, of course, it's a police stronghold, and Rentaro doesn't think it's good.
This means that Aldebaran's injuries have healed, and judging from the fact that the reason for the brief pause between humans and protozoans is nothing more than Aldebaran's injury, the first thing it will do after it recovers must be to continue attacking.
And that's not all.
Not long ago, the scene he saw in the dark was so horrific that Rentaro wanted to forget it immediately, but he knew he couldn't.
I must inform the hall master right away, Aldebaran has not only healed, but it has also devoured the Pleiades, and I am afraid that unimaginable mutations have occurred.
Suffered-Yanzhu!
Rentaro ran as if he had been electrocuted, even if there was a sound of stopping from behind, and after running a few hundred meters, he remembered that Mikasa was there, so he hurriedly turned around and grabbed Mikasa, who was full of puzzlement, and began to run wildly.
Shadow Yin and Little Binet glanced at each other, shook their heads, and followed from the other direction.
Originally, it had already been discovered by the enemy once, so he should have acted more cautiously, but Rentaro didn't have that mind.
He descended the river, and Mikasa, whom he had posed on his back, led him through the darkness of the night with a compass.
The sky on the other side of the forest was red, and although it was too far away to hear the sound, you could see the fiery smoke rushing into the sky, which was a sign that the battle had begun.
The absence of the enemy in the forest was good for Rentaro, who wanted to run at full speed, but it was also a sign of foreboding from another point of view - more protozoa than before had crossed the forest and engaged the civilian police force.
After the battle the night before yesterday, there were a lot of injuries on both sides, but there were countless soldiers who died under the Pleiades [Spear of Light], and the current battle ratio may not even be able to maintain the previous one-to-ten.
The police have shrunk sharply from 3,000 groups to less than 1,000 groups, with a loss of more than 60 percent, and even though the relative protozoa has left behind 4,000 or 5,000 corpses, the total number of them is still more than 10,000.
It may even increase.
It has to be fast.
