Chapter 185: "Survivors".
The night sky is different from the neon lights that used to be lit up by the bustle of the city, and even the bright moonlight is stained with an eerie red.
The scarlet blood moon looked quite enchanting, but even then it was reluctant to continue looking down on the cruel world and was voluntarily obscured by the thick clouds.
"All flesh is like grass, and the flower will wither, and the grass will wither." This quote from the Old Testament is apt to describe this scene.
Behind every minute that passes now, there is a fresh life dissipating. Human life is not as good as grass mustard, and it is reaped wantonly by death.
The "Symphony of Hell" for the demon called "Killing" is still playing, and it can't be stopped.
An unnamed corner of the port district was rather silent and deserted in contrast to the horrific glow of blood and bullets in the distance.
It's a mockery of the fact that this humble corner is just a ubiquitous alley in Tokyo, with not only cigarette butts but also broken beer bottles on the ground, and it has become a rare pure land.
With his back to the wall, there was a large stainless steel bin on wheels that was supposed to store non-recyclable garbage, and it didn't look like much of a problem.
There are still a few rats and rats in the dumpster foraging for food, climbing up and down.
But suddenly, as if frightened, they immediately crawled out of the dumpster. Without looking back, he ran into the darkness in the distance, probably back to the sewers. (But the sewers have exploded, and the rats have no home but to wander.) )
So what is the reason why the rats are so panicked?
If you look closely, you can see that the ground under the trash can is actually starting to shake inexplicably.
It seems that something under the ground is pushing hard with brute force, trying to break through the ground.
With the frequent tapping, the ground, which had been covered with thick dirt and dust due to the long time, slowly began to show traces of a square grid!
And judging from the size, it should fit just one adult to pass.
I only heard a very small sound, and I couldn't find a crisp "bang" sound in the darkness, and the lid opened with the support of one hand!
Heavy dust fell from above and fell into the dark passage.
Even so, the owner of the hand was still very careful, and except for the sound of the forced opening just now, there was no unnecessary sound.
It seems that he is afraid of being discovered, and hides his tracks as much as possible. Only a slight probe comes out to observe the surrounding environment.
And the guy who came out of the probe wore a rather strange electronic device on his head, with five camera-like things neatly arranged on it, and under it were goggles that completely covered his eyes like a motorcycle helmet.
In the daytime, this strange device would certainly attract people to stop and watch, but it is not so obtrusive in the trash cans above and in the cover of the night, that it is impossible to find it at all.
The guy only glanced around a few times before making a safe gesture with his other hand into the passage he was in.
No, so fast
It looks rather perfunctory and not serious.
But it wouldn't be surprising to know the function of that strange electronic device on the head
The power of science and technology, the equipment used for reconnaissance works wonders especially in the dark night.
This is the fourth-generation military night vision device En-VGB in active service of the Eagle Sauce Military Department, which uses VR template 4K high-definition imaging technology, which is very clear as day even in the dark, and the thermal imaging mode in reconnaissance mode can pass through the wall.
If you get closer, you will see a human figure directly, and if you are a hostile force beyond a hundred meters, you will have nowhere to hide as long as they exist, and a white humanoid silhouette will appear on the display.
There are also sharp weapons for street battles in night battles, and the enemy troops inside can be seen through the wall, and the opposite side has already begun to shoot before they can find it.
So this area is safe for the time being
With the safe gesture above, the sound of relieved relief suddenly came from the dark passage where he couldn't see his fingers.
After confirming that the surroundings were safe, the man wearing a military night vision device held the lid with one hand while the other hand slowly moved the iron roller dumpster that served as a cover.
As a result of his efforts, the garbage can above was moved to the right to serve as a cover in the corner again, and the unknown black passage was completely exposed in the alley, and the door was wide open.
With just a slight jump, the whole person ran out of the passage. But he didn't let his guard down, and took out a military spur from his side as a weapon, and as soon as there was a threat, he would immediately attack.
Judging from that burly figure, it should be a strong man. He wore a light black combat suit, which at first glance looked like it was made of thick fabric. In fact, this is not the case, it is a very fine metal fiber woven into a fabric-like material and then pressed together. Thicker and more elastic fibers are used to shape the jacket and trousers, and finally determine the size of each person's combat suit according to the different combat suit models.
"Safe, come out."
The voice of a man wearing a night vision device sounds particularly seized, giving a sense of security in such an extremely dangerous environment.
He leaned against the wall at the mouth of the alley, using the instrument on his head to constantly keep watch for the surroundings and control the wind for the next people.
The people inside were relieved when they heard this, and they slowly climbed out from under the bottom in order.
Soon, three people came out of the narrow passage at once, and they were the number one object that the "Insect Organization" currently wanted to kill, "Shinomiya Kaguya" and his party.
Ai Hayasaka, as well as her titular cousin, Kaguya Shinomiya's personal bodyguard at school "Hayato Hayama".
The place where they just came out was a passage specially opened up at the beginning of the construction of the Sinomiya Mansion, which was regarded as an emergency escape route to prevent air raids
The air-raid shelter carved out under the villa exits from the Sinomiya Mansion, which is two kilometers away, and the intricate pipes inside are enough to get lost for those who have never been here.
All three were embarrassed, with cobwebs stuck to their bodies and dirty clothes.
Ai Hayasaka, who is wearing the same school uniform as Kaguya Shinomiya, is holding a handbag in one hand, but it is no different from usual.
"Sure enough, there's no signal."
She took out her phone and looked at it
It was past 2:40 a.m., and there was a No Service sign displayed above.
Ai Hayasaka speculated that the area had been secured by the enemy with massive signal blocking devices, and that no news of any rescue could be sent.
There is no signal in the bomb shelter just now, but there is a special encrypted phone that can be directly connected to the Shinomiya family and wants to request support.
But no one answered.
There's a good chance they're under attack over there, too, and there's no time to take care of them.
When Hayato came up, like the man, he held a sharp blade in his hand and scarred around him, carrying a large package on his back.
Kaguya Shinomiya, who is wearing a school uniform, now looks like a phoenix in distress, and he doesn't look like a rich daughter with dust on his head.
She ran out of the passage, her face still in shock.
"Thank you, Hayasaka."
When he saw the bottle of water handed over by Ai Hayasaka, Kaguya Shinomiya took it and whispered thank you. She unscrewed the cap of the bottle and took a sip, but the tasteless mineral water was a little sweet.
"Maybe that's what the president said."
Kaguya Shinomiya, who had added a little bit of water, smiled self-deprecatingly
"Tap water is as sweet as cola."
It was only in this environment that I understood what the president had said before.
In the distance, there was a clear sound of gunfire, and from time to time explosions were heard.
It really made Shinomiya Kaguya have no bottom in his heart, and he didn't know if he could get through this difficult night.
Noticing Kaguya-sama's gaffe, Ai Hayasaka looked at her worriedly
"Kaguya-sama..."
Hearing Hayasaka's worried voice, she followed her gaze and looked at Kaguya Shinomiya to find that her hand holding the water bottle was actually trembling uncontrollably.
"Am I scared...."
"I'm Kaguya Shinomiya."
But throwing away the dazzling aura of being the daughter of the Sinomiya family, Kaguya of the Sinomiya is just a little girl in the second grade of the higher department, living in a calm daily life.
I never thought that this routine would be so fragile and so easy to break.
The shadow of death is so close to me.
"If it weren't for Hayato-kun..."
Kaguya Shinomiya glanced at the "Hayato" next to him, remembering what happened to him in the bomb shelter before. Even in the absolute safety of the bunker, you can feel the explosion above the sound of a rather strong rumbling and deafening, and the huge kinetic energy forces the walls to crack.
If he still stayed in the room and slew, Kaguya Shinomiya shuddered.
The dust on her head was the same as when she was in the bomb shelter, shaking the ceiling from time to time in the huge explosion.
The Shinomiya family distributed instruments to detect vital signs in real time, with a total of 445 security personnel.
At the time of the first wave, one hundred and twenty-four badges changed from green to red.
This means that they have lost their lives in that explosion.
The number red on the screen is still rising at a rapid rate, and it must not be long before it reaches four hundred, and now it is almost in the range of three hundred and ten.
Ai Hayasaka and Kaguya Shinomiya were able to dodge this fatal killing, indeed thanks to "Falato".
At that time, Ai Hayasaka was comforting Kaguya Shinomiya, who was tired of crying, and she really couldn't coax it.
Chika Fujiwara took the first place in the grade, who will break the defense.
Naturally, it was Kaguya Shinomiya, who had lived under the president for a long time several times, and wanted to sit second in the first grade before the snow. She is very well prepared, but her opponent is really strong.
The growth will be very strong, which is unexpected, but not all cats and dogs can climb on her head.
Fujiwara-san, who was synonymous with "stupid" in her eyes, began to rub his nose and face and climb on her head.
Aren't you worse than a fool?
The unwilling Shinomiya Kaguya has been crying for most of the day because of this incident, even in the period before going to bed.
XS, can't sleep at all.
Kaguya Shinomiya called Ai Hayakasaka over, hoping that Hayakasaka could coax her to sleep.
Talking about Ai Hayasaka, who dislikes the troubles of Miss Kaguya, she spoils her more than anyone else and is her sister

complained a few times, but honestly dragged his tired body to the room of the fourth palace Kaguya.
Then Hayato suddenly barged in, looked nervous, opened the door of Kaguya-sama's room, and suggested that they take refuge immediately.
It is better to believe that it is there than to believe that it is not.
Without asking any questions, the two of them followed him into the dugout.
That's what happened before.
It didn't take long for the resplendent Sinomiya Mansion to become history in the explosion.
"Hayama Hayato" is the person in charge of an area, and at certain intervals the patrolmen under him will report their location and whether there are any anomalies, including the kind of snipers who squat on high-rise buildings overnight.
Although the vital signs of his snipers looked fine from the main station, they were still more or less suspicious by Hayato.
The wind on the rooftop is very strong, especially on the high-rise buildings, when reporting to Hayato on weekdays, it will be accompanied by noisy wind.
Not this time!
Hayato suddenly had a bad premonition, so he hurried to the eldest lady's room in the hope that Kaguya-sama would transfer as soon as possible.
The good news is that Hayato's premonition has come true, and Kaguya-sama has escaped the enemy's attack.
The bad news is that the security defenses they have built have been completely destroyed by the first attack of the enemy.
There were only a few people left
"Miss, it's time for us to go."
From the vigilance just now to the present, the stout man wearing a night vision device who has vaguely become the backbone of the team has spoken.
"It's very dangerous to stay in one place for a long time."
I wasn't in a hurry just now, because Kaguya-sama and the others are just ordinary people, and besides, this is a safe place for the time being.
Unlike the confined space underground, breathing fresh air and properly replenishing water can provide temporary psychological comfort.
In the next action, you can play a better performance.
But the enemy is not stupid, and when they find out that there is an air-raid shelter under the Shinomiya Mansion, they will expand the search area.
Then they are dangerous.
It's time to shift
"Okay, Mr. Lut."
Kaguya Shinomiya heard the man's voice and immediately responded
"Let's go."
The "Heron" she refers to is the guardian stationed near the fortress's large electric engine unit.
At the beginning, it was assumed that the enemy would wreak havoc from within, so personnel were needed to garrison key positions.
"Heron" is the deputy leader of "Bai Ling", who is subordinate to the "Sword Biting Tiger", which ranks seventh, so that he can be a guardian in a place like the power supply.
The generator set is located in the underground bomb shelter of the Shinomiya Villa, which supplies the energy of the entire base.
The "Heron", who had been meditating, heard the report of the "Hayato" and couldn't sit still and immediately set off the alarm.
But the bells of destruction sounded more quickly than the alarms of their own people, far more than expected.
It's really miserable, and in the end, there are only four people left.
