In April 2031, a stage five gastrulation animal called Scorpio appeared in Tokyo.

The timing of its appearance was extremely clever, and just as the entire combat headquarters was cheering for the defeat of the Leech Shadow, there was a siren from Phase Five.

The head of an oversized protozoan that invaded Tokyo Bay was fired in a salvo of missiles, gas bombs, and torpedoes.

But the missiles and torpedoes didn't even penetrate its thick exoskeleton.

The poison gas uses the most evil XO poison gas in the world, but the gaselate virus that inhales the poison gas analyzes the ingredients in the blink of an eye, making the body resistant.

All the personnel were bloodless, and the scene was out of control for a while.

The subject walks upright on both feet, with an unusually large head, a beak-like curved object protruding from the corner of the beak, and only a pitifully small left eye.

It's like a deformed giant.

Judging from the proportions on the screen, this giant is about five hundred meters tall, and its dark brown skin is covered with pimples like smallpox, and there are raised objects on the bumps, which are very disgusting, and it is impossible to imagine how many different genes of the original enterovirus it has fused.

A total of eight scythe-shaped objects with barbs burst out of the neck, head, right eye, and other places.

This is one of the eleven strongest gastaroids that once destroyed more than 80% of the planet's human habitation.

Scorpio.

If nothing else, Tokyo will be like the cities it once destroyed.

The magnetic field of the megalithic monument will not be able to stop Stage 5, when the time comes, an endless army of protozoa will overwhelm the city.

Humanity will retreat from the siege of the end to the coming of the end, and will be caught in a war with no hope of victory.

That's probably the world that Leech Shadow Yin wants?

It was at the time of the imminent collapse of the whole country that a policeman stood up, turned the tide and collapsed, and helped the building to fall!

According to the records of the Asahi Shimbun, New York Daily News, Chaoyang Evening News and other news media published on the second day, this police officer who single-handedly defeated the fifth stage after IP001 and IP002 is called Satomi Rentaro, and he is an in-service police officer of the IISO organization.

The weapon he used was a linear-type super-electromagnetic acceleration railgun left over from the Protoenteric War, and through the prosthetic leg of the right arm of the [Superton] material as a filling cannonball, he successfully killed the Stage 5 that appeared near the human habitation for some reason.

Perhaps, the [super] material, which has not yet been fully studied, will become a new generation of weapons for mankind - if those linear electromagnetic railguns left behind in their homeland can be recovered.

......

......

Because of the interference of Scorpio, the signal was interrupted and the remote operation could not be performed, so Rentaro had to manually control the [Sky Ladder] and shoot at targets more than 20 kilometers away.

There is only one chance, and if it fails, it means that the entire Tokyo ward will be buried.

Carrying such a heavy responsibility is indeed too heavy for a teenager who is only sixteen years old.

Even, when aiming, Rentaro stared at the aiming shot that looked similar to a shooting game, but he didn't dare to press the launch button.

You're going to miss, right...... It's going to be missed.

If he fails, he will probably die to apologize.

Thankfully, with some strong will, Rentaro finally succeeded in shooting Scorpio.

The superprosthetic was accelerated to sub-light speed, striking at about 20% of the speed of light, and hitting Scorpio's heart with precision.

Subsequently, the super-material cut off Scorpio's regenerative ability, and a huge explosion set off a tsunami, and the minced flesh killed on Scorpio's body fell like hail and fell on every corner of the city in the 32nd district.

Placing Yeonzhu, who had been fighting all night and was too tired to fall asleep, on a chair in the ladder control room, Rentaro helped his somewhat dizzy head and walked out of the huge steel monster [Ladder].

Even now, he still felt like he was in a dream, and everything in front of him seemed so unreal.

Strictly speaking, the structure of the [ladder] is like an excavator, the acceleration track of the ladder is the mechanical arm, and the central control room is the driver's seat.

At this moment, it can be clearly seen that the trajectory of the accelerated bullet has dried up.

Obviously, this is the first and last battle of the [Ladder], and no engineering team will run to the base camp of this protozoan to repair it.

After stepping over the protective nets around him, Satomi Rentaro hurriedly ran towards the entrance to the 32nd district in the distance.

You can see a red sun poking its head out on the horizon, and Rentaro seems to be racing against the morning light.

He tried to restrain himself, unwilling to think about something.

But he still couldn't restrain himself.

Gastaroids are very sensitive to loud sounds, but whether it was besieging Leech Shadow Yin before, or using [Ladder] later, the huge roar did not attract any Archetuloids, there is only one explanation for this abnormal phenomenon, and someone blocked them.

"Natsushi!Natsushi!Natsushi!"

Rentaro roared in his heart, running faster and faster, and he looked a little funny when he lost his right arm, like a faltering bug.

Finally, the entrance to the city was reached.

The smell of blood is getting stronger and stronger, the temperature is getting very low, and the breath exhaled is white.

Rentaro was taken aback.

There were carcasses of protomedullars everywhere, piled up like mountains.

Some are like Komodo dragons that are magnified dozens of times, others are like a combination of a mammoth and a hare, a combination of a snake and a frog, etc., from stage 1 to stage 4, there are all levels.

Without exception, they were all dead, with irreparable black wounds from bullets, as if they had been burned.

Even more striking than the corpses, of course, was the fortress made entirely of ice.

It's like a "back" word, and huge icebergs are superimposed, five or six meters high, guarding the necessary place to enter the city.

"Yes...... Is that one?"

The first thing that came to Rentaro's mind was Mikasa.

After all, when Mikasa was on the helicopter, the ice gun in one hand was used as a means of flying away on a rocket, which was really unforgettable.

"So, is this the one that blocked the impact of the protosagular?"

Rentaro turned a corner, his eyes were dark, and he almost wailed.

In the position of the front, the ice wall is broken.

There was a huge opening, and the corpses of more than a dozen slain gastrators could be seen, and the ground was covered in blood.

Finally, in the corner, Rentaro finds the two girls.

Mikasa and Senju Natsuyo, both of them are covered in the blood of protosagulars.

Chiju Natsuyo leaned against the corner, and could only vaguely see some fluttering yellow hair and white dresses, Mikasa stood in front of her, and said with a cold expression: "Mr. Satomi, stage five has been defeated, right?"

"Well, live up to expectations and knock it down. ”

Hearing her voice, Rentaro couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and hurriedly asked, "How is Natsuyo doing?"

"It's fine. She blocked all the protozoa for everyone, and she was a little tired, so she slept for a while. ”

Mutter......

Hearing this, Rentaro couldn't even hold back his wailing voice, and felt that his eyes couldn't be opened.

At this time, from the rear that was blocked by Mikasa and Rentaro couldn't see clearly, there was a faint voice from Natsuyo.

"Mikasa...... Tell him. ”

Mikasa was silent for a long time, and finally let go.

Then, he saw it.

"Why...... Why don't you run away?"

Rentaro shook his head, his voice almost trembled, and he clenched his fists tightly: "Didn't you say that once you fall into a disadvantage, you will retreat!?"

Chiju Natsuyo, leaning on a piece of upturned rock, looked up at Rentaro with empty pupils: "Because...... I can't do that. ”

She had lost her left wrist and right foot, and her white dress was stained with blood and bite marks everywhere.

Of course, because of the identity of the initiator, these injuries are recovering, but the speed is outrageously fast, and you can see the blood foam that constantly spreads when the flesh at the fracture of the Dao grows.

This is not something to be happy about at all.

There was a vague strange hissing sound inside her.

Chiju Natsuyo quietly looked at his severed hand, and after a moment lamented: "Look at Mikasa, I told you that it will grow again, I didn't lie to you." ”

"Oh. ”

Mikasa replied lightly, his expression still unchanged.

No sentimentality, no sorrow.

She just quietly picked up Chiju Natsuyo and said casually, "Mr. Satomi, now I'm going back." ”

Mikasa didn't move because Satomi Rentaro was standing in front of her.

This teenager, who had just saved the entire Tokyo ward, cried like a child.

"Mikasa. Let her go. She can't go back to Xia Shi, and the erosion rate of the original enterovirus in her body has exceeded 50%. ”

These "cursed children" usually use erosion inhibitors to suppress the enterovirus in their bodies, but they are "inhibitors" after all, and have no "suppression" effect.

Because they carry inhibitors, they do not become animalized in an instant, as ordinary people do, and they can release their power sharply, or if they are injected with body fluids by gastrants, the erosion rate will increase at a slight rate.

Like others, once the erosion rate in the body exceeds 50%, it will begin to erode in one breath, and it will not be able to maintain the posture of a human being.

The current appearance of Chiju Natsuyo is actually that the intestinal virus in her body has been changing her human body structure.

This tipping point cannot be delayed or suppressed with modern medical technology.

Mikasa was unmoved, and said coldly: "I know, I'll take her back to play suppressants." ”

"Mikasa!"

With his left hand, Rentaro pulled out the XD pistol on his waist and aimed it at Chiju Natsuyo's eyebrows.

The hiss from the other had become more and more intense, it was the cells howling, and he knew he had to.

Qianshou Xia Shi is no longer saved.

Rentaro gritted his teeth, and he even wanted to slap himself a few times, but he couldn't.

"Don't you understand? She's about to mutate. ”

"I understand, Mr. Rentaro, but what does that have to do with me? I don't care, I just want to take her back. ”

Mikasa looked at each other at eye level and asked word by word, "I repeat, I'm going to take her back." Please get out of the way. ”

As she spoke, she picked up the huge sniper rifle that was dragging on the ground, and then loaded the bullet and aimed it at Rentaro.

Two people confront each other with guns, who is the right?

"I'll say it one last time, get out of the way. ”

Mikasa's hand was suddenly held down, and in this case, of course, only Senju Natsuyo on her back could do it.

Chiju Natsuyo squinted his eyes, sniffed Mikasa's hair, and said happily, "It's so fragrant, Mikasa." ”

Hair stained with the blood of protogastral animals, of course, will not be fragrant.

Mikasa lowered her head and remained silent.

Chiju Natsuyo's weak voice continued: "Mr. Satomi, where is Mr. Shogun?"

Rentaro recalled the appearance of digging up the corpse of the prisoner from the rubble, and said slowly, "...... He's fine. ”

The eyes were staggered, and Qianshou Natsuyo slowly closed his eyes as if he had put down a boulder in his heart.

"Mikasa, let me go. Please. Just let me die as a human being. ”

"Oh. Mikasa, still expressionless, did so.

She didn't even shed a tear.

There's nothing to cry about...... Isn't it just a commonplace death, what is that? Mikasa thought to himself, trying to keep his eyes on the sun that had just risen.

The scarlet sun.

Why is even the sun so annoying?

"Mr. Satomi, please hurry, I don't want you to die. ”

Chiju Natsuyo urged, in fact, there is an iron rule in the world, the stronger the initiator, the stronger the protosatus becomes.

Then, with the help of this humble ice wall fortress, Chiju Natsuyo, who can kill hundreds or thousands of protosagulars by himself, once he mutates, Mikasa and Rentaro will definitely have no chance of surviving.

The muzzle of the gun swung around, and the crosshair couldn't settle down at all, and it was possible for Rentaro to miss it at such a close distance. It's ridiculous.

Rentaro suddenly felt that the time when the two of them chatted around the firewood was extremely precious, and a feeling of pity that made him want to scratch his chest welled up in his heart.

He even wanted to ask Mikasa not to look away at the rising sun to help him enforce the ruling.

Or, let her go, leave like that, let her become a proto-aragon, and pretend she can't see it?

But he couldn't, he had to.

Damn, damn!

"Mr. Satomi, please, please don't cry. ”

Rentaro just gritted his teeth, his big teeth almost crushed, and he smiled.

"It's okay, I didn't cry. This is not the first time. ”

His hands are no longer trembling, and Rentaro understands that the current Xia Shi is also in pain, right?

After all, they are the most human-like human beings, the human beings who want to be recognized the most, they are just children, they are the future of mankind.

She couldn't stand being turned into an archagull.

"Mikasa...... ......The morning sun here is beautiful, isn't it? Well, I've seen that too. ”

Of course, she couldn't see it anymore.

His eyes narrowed like a slit, and his voice was intermittent: "Mikasa - you are my precious friend, I will not forget, but I may not be able to accompany you to eat ice cream today." ”

Mikasa's thin body moved, and his voice was surprisingly flat: "Well, later." I invite you. ”

Natsuyo's pupils lost focus.

"And Mr. Satomi...... It was you who affirmed my existence, thank you, you are ...... True light. In the future, there will be a lot of ...... Evil stands in the way. Once you lose your direction and are lost in the darkness, follow the light in your heart...... In the direction of the light...... Satomi ...... Please save ...... The world—"

A blue head with a dozen eyes, like a misshapen dolphin, was about to burst out of her severed arm, and a slight gunshot finally rang out.

Her mutation stopped, and the blue monster struggled a few times, shriveling down.

Perhaps it was the inhalation of gunsmoke, the inside of the nasal cavity was aching, and the eyes were swollen and sore.

Hearing the sound of the helicopter propeller, Rentaro turned his head and saw the morning glow shooting from the distant side of the mountains.

He saw that Mikasa had finally turned around, and she had carried Senju Natsuyo's corpse on her back.

Until now, Mikasa finally couldn't hold back her tears, but she didn't howl, and even her tone was always elegant and flat, as if the tears that wet her cheeks were just a background.

"Mr. Satomi, can I take her back now?"

With difficulty, the girl carried her battle-dead companion on her back and staggered aboard a rescue plane.

Rentaro lowered his head, his eyes were indescribably lonely, and his sigh was blown away by the sound of the spiraling wind.

"I'm sorry. ”

Senju Natsuyo's battle is over, and she ends up living next to her promoter, Ikama Shogun.

Rentaro looked at the sky and slowly raised his palms to block the sunlight, thinking in his heart.

- What are humans fighting for?

......

The next day, Hatobi, who was participating in an underground arms exhibition in New York, received a call from Mikasa.

On the phone, Mikasa cried for the first time like a lost child.

Choked, roared.

It's as if there are 10,000 reasons in this world for her to spit on, and she keeps cursing.

It's all Yu Feibai's fault, why do you want to go!

Yu Feibai just listened quietly, only occasionally making a sound to indicate that he was still there.

In the end, he told her that birth, old age, sickness and death, the world is impermanent.

And then......

"I'll be back tomorrow to pick you up. ”
