Nexus.148 Dryad

"Hurricane, are you alright?" Lone Gate took the first step back to the collapsed wall, found the panting wind, and hurriedly stepped forward to reach out to support him.

At this time, the wind was already covered in hot sweat, after all, he had just finished bandaging, and he should not have entered the battle immediately.

"I ...... I'm fine......" He gasped, secretly glad that the enemy this time was not particularly strong, otherwise with his current physical condition...... I'm afraid that even the Meita realm that lasts for three minutes is a problem......

"Can you still go?"

"Can ......"

"Well, I'll help you go back to the hospital to rest first." Lone Gate helped the wind back to the hospital, which quickly returned to normal after the plant monster disappeared just now, but still found a lot of police to help guard against any accidents.

"Thank you...... The lonely door ......" fell on the bed, and the wind slowly opened his mouth to thank the lonely door.

"It's okay......" Lone Gate nodded, but received a message from the Prophet: "All members of the Night Raid Team will return to the Fortress of Liberty immediately." ”

"You have a good rest, I still have something to do," Gumen was about to leave, but he still did not forget to speak before leaving:

"Tempest...... You also have to remember to be like you said to that kid - stay strong! ”

"Hmm!" Hurricane nodded, watching the lonely door leave.

"Live......" he muttered alone, reaching for the silver dagger over there, looking at its faint flickering light, his heart filled with thoughts......

That's right...... I want to ...... Stay alive......

No matter how long you have left, be sure to ...... Be sure to ...... Do your best to survive......

My life must be very long......

He closed his eyes, but crystal clear tears flowed uncontrollably from the corners of his eyes......

"What's going on?" Lone Gate quickly rushed back to the Freedom Fortress, Saijo and Shiori had just arrived, and Captain Kazukura looked serious, did not answer Lone Gate's question, and let the three of them sit down first.

"Looks like everyone is here." The Prophet's voice rang out, and then his holographic projections emerged in the light, ready to begin the meeting.

"Look at this," the Prophet turned up the picture on the big screen, and the four of them saw that it was the picture of the plant monster who attacked the hospital today, but it was slightly different, and the flower on his face was slightly smaller.

"Isn't this the plant freak we have today?"

"No," the Prophet shook his head, "they're not the same entity. ”

"It's not the same individual...... Saijo looked at it carefully, and it was indeed a little different from what he saw, and the white flowers on his face were smaller.

"Does that mean there's more than one of them?"

"That's right." The Prophet nodded, and brought up another image, which was a radar chart of Japan, and the picture slowly zoomed in, and some dense dots gradually appeared on it.

"Could it be that these dots are ......" Captain Kazukura frowned, realizing that something was wrong.

The Prophet nodded, affirming his thoughts, "That's right, those plant weirdos. ”

"There are so many?!" Shiori was shocked, this one was too much for them to deal with today, if all these plant monsters appeared in the city, it would only be ...... A catastrophe......

"Is there a solution?" Vice Captain Saijo was calmer.

The Prophet shook his head, "This is a completely unknown enemy, with very different habits from Xenomorphs, and it is not clear what their purpose is, but one thing is certain," he paused, and everyone understood what he meantβ€”"This thing is hostile to humans. ”

"Lonely Door, Sugiyama Kakaze is still in that hospital, right?"

"Hmm." Lone Gate nodded: "What's wrong?" ”

"According to the battle video sent back by Captain Wakura, it can be seen that it should have similar abilities to the flower-shaped xenobiotic Levria that appeared before, and the ability of pollen is currently unknown, and there should still be residual pollen on Sugiyama Tempest, I need to take some samples if I can."

After listening to the Prophet's explanation, Gumen nodded in agreement, and immediately got up to prepare to leave, but was stopped by the Prophet: "Don't worry, just let me talk to the hospital, you have other tasks." ”

"Huh? Other tasks? Shiori thought for a moment and looked embarrassed: "It's not like you want us to destroy those plant monsters one by one, right?" Looking at the dots that spread almost all over the city, Shiori couldn't help but have a headache.

"Not at all." The Prophet smiled confidently: "As far as what has been observed so far, most of them have not yet begun to move, it seems that they are waiting for something, except for the one you have eliminated, and the police squad has already sent many people to disperse and guard everywhere." ”

"Besides, even if you were to be dispatched, you would not have enough manpower at all."

"That's what I said, ......" Captain Hecang agreed very much, after all, as far as the current four-person establishment is concerned, it is really impossible to take care of it.

"So......" The Seerer smiled and turned his gaze back to the door.

"Huh?" The four of them followed his gaze, the door slowly opened to both sides, and two figures came into view, one of them was their old acquaintance Matsunaga Administrator, standing next to him was a relatively sturdy young man wearing the same night raid team uniform as them, his dark skin was a symbol of health, and a blue-black team uniform was more in line with his unusual spirit.

"Everyone, let me introduce you," said Matsunaga with gray hair, smiling slightly.

"This is Aoyama Sun, and from today I will officially join your Night Raid Team A......" He seemed to realize that he had said something wrong, and coughed twice: "Ahem!" Officially join your night raid team, please give me a lot of advice. ”

"Seniors, I am Aoyama Sun, I have served in the Ministry of Defense, and I am extremely honored to be able to fight with all of you! Please advise me in the future!! The young man named Aoyama Sun politely stepped forward to introduce himself and bowed deeply.

"Welcome to the Night Raid Team! I'm the captain and Eisuke Kura. Captain Wakura was overjoyed and stepped forward to shake hands to welcome.

"Welcome, welcome!!" The other three also stepped forward one by one to shake hands and introduce themselves:

"I'm a lonely man, please advise!"

"Vice Captain Saijo Wind, please advise!"

"Team member Shiori Hiraki, please advise!"

"It turned out to be from the Ministry of Defense, so I said how the new members were trained so quickly." Shiori nodded, she was still very puzzled, after all, she and Gumen had only gone to help with the interview not long ago, and even if they had already picked out candidates, they shouldn't have finished training so quickly to join the team.

"This is a temporary order from the superiors considering that the night raiders are very busy right now," Commander Matsunaga explained to the group, "If nothing else, he should be able to stay here forever." ”

"Captain Wakura, then I'll hand over the sun to you." Matsunaga reached out and patted Captain Wakura on the shoulder and left first.

"Don't worry." After Matsunaga left, Captain Wakura couldn't help but smile, very happy, and the other three were very welcoming to this new member, although they felt very sudden.

The Prophet coughed lightly twice, drawing his attention back to himself: "Ahem! The matter of welcoming new members will be put aside for now, and there is still a task to be done. ”

The four of them glanced at each other, restrained their emotions, and sat back in their positions, and when they saw that the new team member was a little unresponsive, they reached out and pulled him to the empty seat and sat down.

"Look closely at this radar chart." The Prophet zoomed in on the image to make the dots on it more visible, while also distancing himself to see the trend of distribution.

It is very obvious that these dots form a circle, and the outer dots are sparse, and the further you go, the more numerous and dense the dots are.

"This place is not ......" looked at the most central position, and the lonely door frowned.

"That's right, near the Liberty Fortress." The Prophet nodded, called up the nearby image, and looked at the image displayed on the screen, all four of them except the sun felt very familiar - that was the place where they fought last night with the alien ** who could turn into Ultraman!

"But ......" looked at the strange sight above, and the sun opened his mouth to express his opinion: "Seniors, you see, the trees around here are all uprooted or broken, and the ground is full of dead branches and leaves, why is that big tree safe?" ”

The four of them took a closer look, and it was indeed as he said, in a decaying forest, there was a strange green tree full of life, and what was even more strange was that it was now almost winter, but the tree was full of green branches and green leaves.

"You're looking at this," the Prophet enlarged the image, allowing everyone to see the strange white flowers blooming on the tree.

"Isn't this the ......" Looking at the white flowers like narcissus, everyone suddenly understood.

"That's right, these flowers can be preliminarily confirmed to be the same as those plant weirdos' faces."

"So that's their home base, then...... Shall we go and destroy it? "The new members are full of energy and look eager to go out now.

"No," the Prophet shook his head, stopping him, "if the attack is not done properly, it is likely that the strangers who have entered the city will start a riot, and then the situation will be difficult to manage." ”

The sun was puzzled: "So what should we do?" ”

His voice was louder, causing the Prophet to frown slightly.

Looking at the new member who was so excited that he almost jumped up from his chair, a trace of doubt flashed in the eyes of the four lonely men, but they didn't say anything.

Gumen stretched out his hand and gently tugged him, and said softly: "Qingshan team, you don't have to be in such a hurry, the prophet is our operational commander, and he must have his countermeasures." ”

"I'm sorry, senior, I was rude!" He also knew that he could correct his mistakes, and stood up and bowed deeply to the prophet to apologize, of course, the loud voice was not at all confined.

Naturally, the Prophet did not bother with him too much, waved his hand to signal him to sit down, reorganized his thoughts, and continued to speak:

"In order to avoid startling the snakes, please send out the night raid team to investigate the situation and prepare for future operations."

"Understood!"

"Understood!!" The voice of Aoyama Sun alone instantly overshadowed the voices of the other four, and he responded to the prophet very spiritually.

The corners of the Prophet's mouth twitched slightly, and he coughed softly: "This is the end of the meeting." ”

After speaking, the holographic projection disappeared in front of everyone's eyes, but fortunately, Qingshan was not as surprised as he was when the lonely door first came, otherwise with his voice, the exclamation would be ......

Shiori made up for it, a chill ran down her back, and her body trembled slightly, as if she was persuading herself not to think about it anymore.

Captain Hecang looked down at the time: "It's six o'clock in the evening, and the action is scheduled for eight o'clock in the evening, now let's go and prepare first!" ”

"Understood!!" Aoyama seemed to have an inexhaustible strength, and replied very forcefully.

"......Forehead" Captain Hecang helped his forehead slightly, reached out and patted Gumen's shoulder, and cast a trusting look at him: "Gumen, it's up to you to bring the new team members to familiarize themselves with the work first!" ”

"Huh?" Looking at Captain Hecang with a wicked smile on his face, Gumen was very helpless: "This ...... Well......"

The Prophet breathed a long sigh of relief after the meeting, and it was rare to see him fall back, reaching out and gently rubbing his temples.

He let out a breath of turbidity and complained alone, "This new member ...... It's a little too hot-blooded......"

Before, he only knew that he was going to transfer a young man from the Ministry of National Defense, because he was busy with work, and he didn't pay too much attention to it......

This kind of hot-blooded team has never been seen before, and it ...... He always felt that this was not a good thing......

After all, even if it was like a lonely door, it still got into trouble before, not to mention the Qingshan Sun who was far more enthusiastic than the lonely door......

"Whew...... Forget it...... "This is not something to worry about, the prophet sat up again, called up Michael's production data and started to help debug again, and the computer next to him also kept an eye on the movement of the big tree, and the special life form like a jellyfish in the special container next to it seemed to swim faster, and there were bursts of blisters.

"Huh?" The Prophet looked up at the living beings in confusion: "Visitor...... Did you perceive something? ”

At this time, there was bad news from the son of Prometheus that all the data about Michael had been deleted without explanation!!

"How could it be ......" looked at the email, every word was so piercing...... That said, it is no accident that the previous production failed...... Someone's ......

"Who?!" Sensing the danger, he hurriedly activated TLT's cyber defense strengthening system, but he was still one step too late, and when the system was activated, all his data about Michael was gone......

"How could it be ......" he was a little surprised, he had never seen such a situation before, and he looked up at the creatures swimming in the container at an accelerated pace, with a series of bubbles floating behind them, as if trying to convey something to him......

"Roots...... Shattered ......"
