Outside the gate of Happiness Elementary School.

Teresa quietly approached Higashinohara, who seemed to be waiting for something, and after hesitating for a moment, she couldn't help but walk up, subconsciously lifted the hair in her ear next to the sea-blue peacock feather mask, and said with a chuckle, "Thank you so much just now." ”

She was trapped in the [Death Barrier] of Rhodes, the captain of the Shaloman Snake Pirates, just now, if it weren't for Higashinohara's domain to suppress the [Death Barrier] in time, I'm afraid she would be a little more auspicious now.

"It's just a matter of hand." Higashinohara nodded.

Teresa choked on this "straight man" answer, and didn't think about how to continue the conversation for a while, and finally had to stop trying to get closer to her with some discouragement, and asked straight to the point, "By the way, the attack you just said... What does it mean? How long will we have to wait here? ”

They were attacked by pirates when they got up early in the morning, and now the pirates are defeated and fled, but they are punished on the spot again, which makes Teresa, who has always paid attention to maintenance, a little difficult to accept.

Higashinohara didn't turn his head to look at her, the white-faced, fanged yaksha mask's twin holes roamed the glow of solitary falling, slowly spinning like a pool of water.

Nine Eyes and Six Paths. First look. Open!

After a while, holding the slashing sword issued by the third reconnaissance team in his hand, he looked at Higashinohara in the distance, lowered his gaze slightly, and said softly, "It's almost there." ”

"The Ancient God Emperor"

"What's coming soon?"

Teresa asked subconsciously.

The next moment, she, who was a chasseur, suddenly became alert, and Huo Ran turned her head to look in the direction they had crossed the border gate.

Or to be precise... It's the direction of the radio tower that stands like a giant of steel.

The sound of rustling like a forest beast crawling through the jungle meadows, followed by the breeze through the desolate city streets.

But there is no forest here.

At best, it's an abandoned steel jungle.

And how can there be wild beasts?

At this moment, Teresa and the other puzzled hunters nearby also changed their faces subtly, and their eyes were no longer fixed in the direction they had come.

Suddenly, the sound of rustling in the wind disappeared.

However, the eyes of everyone in the hunter group shrank suddenly, and their hearts seemed to skip a beat!

At this time, their vision presented a completely bizarre world, only to see countless black shadows appear like a forest in the criss-crossed streets under the shadow of moss-covered high-rise buildings.

Those dense figures, men, women, and children, of different shapes, staggered forward in tattered clothes that were almost weathered, without exception, all of their eyes were empty and blank, and their walks were filled with a sense of desolation and death, and a terrifying sense of oppression that made people's hearts hairy.

......

"Those are... What... What the hell? ”

Teresa subconsciously took a step back, and the other hunters around her also gasped, with a very incredible look on their faces.

Higashinohara didn't laugh.

These [Scarlet of Dawn] Seven-Star Hunters, no matter how good and elite they are, no matter what kind of psychological preparation they made before coming.....

But like the scene in front of you, whoever sees it for the first time will be worried in their hearts!

At the same time, the people with dry throats are also a little unimaginable and incredulous... If those things were humans, how did humans become like that?

"These are the demons in the mouth of the head of the Kimura team." Higashinohara said vigorously.

Elenda, a gentleman who had been leaning aside since seeing Teresa and Higashinohara approaching, suddenly forgot to hide herself, and subconsciously asked on the side, "These... What the hell... What are they here for? ”

"Anyway, it's not going to be breakfast."

Perhaps because of an experience, Higashinohara casually made a joke.

Immediately, he took a deep breath and shook the saber of the Third Reconnaissance Group in his hand, and rotated the side of the blade around.

"Get ready for battle." He whispered in the Chasseur team's communications.

However, everyone in the hunting team only felt a tingling of their scalps when they looked at the dense crowd in the steel city, and they had no intention of fighting in their hearts, and they only felt a chill in their hearts after hearing Higashinohara's words.

These alien demons like the living dead, even if their strength is not the opponent of those of their absolute ability.

But ants bite elephants to death, if you are really encircled, who can escape?

And looking at the state of the ghosts in front of them, it is not the usual outnumbered people who can deter Liwei by killing a few ruthlessly, it is estimated that they don't even know what pain is.

If you don't fight...

In such a completely strange world, with all kinds of dangers lurking.

Run?

Where can they go?

Just when everyone's faces changed suddenly and their minds were uncertain, the voice of the deputy captain Yoshitsu Ichiro suddenly came from the communication voice of the huntsman squad in their ears.

"Withdraw! Don't fight! Pack up your luggage and supplies, and immediately retreat east along the river! After finishing speaking, Yoshitsu Ichiro took a deep breath and added in a serious tone, "This is the order of the Kimura team leader." ”

Hearing the words of the deputy captain Yoshizu Ichiro, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief when he looked at the scene in front of him, where his scalp was full and his heart was almost in his throat.

No one is stupid.

As the initiator of this expedition and their financier, Kimura Hakutaka obviously has a far better understanding of this dead and desolate hellish world than they have since entered this world.

Since the other party ordered to retreat, it was obvious that he was prepared with both hands.

For a while, everyone in the hunter group turned around and retreated back into the camp, and began to pack up the luggage and materials in the temporary camp and prepare for evacuation.

Teresa and Ellenda also subconsciously turned around, but out of the corner of their eyes, they found Higashinohara still standing motionless with a knife, staring at the dense black tide of ghosts spreading in the shadows under the tall buildings in the distance, and the white yaksha mask obscured the expression on his face.

Teresa hesitated, but couldn't help but turn around and say, "Hayasha-kun... Team leader Kimura ordered to retreat, so let's go. ”

Higashinohara, who had his back to them, nodded silently, and then slowly put the knife into the sheath.

It's just that when you turn around,

Teresa and Gentleman Elenda clearly heard a soft sigh in the air.

"It's a pity..."

It's a pity?

The two of them were stunned for a moment, the corners of their mouths couldn't help twitching slightly, and their eyes drifted towards Higashinohara.

This guy...

Is it a combat maniac?

......

At the same time,

Next to the Pearl Tower on the bank of the Pujiang River.

A long-standing man in a robe painted with hellish mandala flowers and a purple yukata painted with dark gold butterflies stands on the rooftop of a tall building.

The metal cigarette stick in his hand gently tapped the rusty and mottled roof handrail in front of him, making a clanging sound, looking at the shocking scene under the wind and sand rolling under his feet not far away.

"It's... It's spectacular..."

Squeak!

The door from the rooftop behind was opened.

The strength of the visitor seemed to be unusual, and with a slight push, the broken and rusty iron door collapsed overwhelmed.

Appearing at the door was a man with short, chestnut hair, wearing a fisherman's hat and sunglasses.

Tokugawa Kurita walked to Sakahonzun's side, glanced at Yuya Yuya and looked at Sakahonzun who was staring at this scene on the street downstairs not far away, shook his head and said:

"You are here for your reasons, but why do I have to follow you here?"

"You don't want to see this country without you with your own eyes... What will it become? ”

Under Sakamotozun's messy and flowing long hair, his eyes were half-open and half-closed, and he smiled, "Now that guy who succeeded you in the position of the third reconnaissance team is in this world, aren't you curious... Was there anything he wanted to do? ”

Sakahonzun's melodious voice echoed in the wind and sand on the rooftop of the tall building, but the air was quiet all of a sudden.

The majestic and resolute face of the Tokugawa Chestnut Tiger suddenly revealed a slightly complicated expression.

......
