Christmas Eve.

It was a peaceful and peaceful evening for the people living on the ground, and couples came to the streets to listen to Christmas Eve songs and take pictures with the Christmas trees. And in the brightly lit house, parents and children are reunited and enjoy happy family time.

While people are enjoying peace and joy, a bloody and cruel war is unfolding deep underground.

The ultimate battle between humans and ghouls.

For the ghouls, they have no way to retreat, Area 24 is the last refuge for the ghouls, and if they lose it, they will be completely destroyed——— and this is also the purpose of the Countermeasures Bureau.

That is, to eliminate the ghouls completely at all costs.

If it's on the ground, the ghouls may be able to use the wide space to maneuver with humans. But in the narrow underground tunnels, there is no way for them to continue to do so. Then the means of fighting are very simple and direct——— and the brave wins.

Only those who survive to the end are the winners!

The sound of gunfire and screams echoed through the narrow tunnel, and a ragged woman hid in a cave at the back of the tunnel, clinging to her daughter. Listening to the roars and screams from outside, she clenched her teeth and turned red, while the girl in her arms turned pale and hugged her mother tremblingly.

"Mom, Daddy, he ........."

"Ah—————!!!h

However, before the girl's voice fell, suddenly a scream came from the tunnel, and the girl immediately panicked when she heard this voice.

"Daddy——— woo ———!"

But the moment the girl spoke, the woman covered her mouth, she looked out at the dim tunnel, was silent for a moment, and then lowered her head and looked at the child in her arms.

"Get out of here, kid."

"Mommy, but Daddy ........."

"Mom will go and save Daddy."

As she spoke, the woman stood up with a serious expression, looked at the child in her arms, stretched out her hand, and wiped her little face.

"Quick, listen to Mom, run down the tunnel and don't be discovered by anyone, after Mom rescues Dad, she will meet you, okay?"

“…………… Well. ”

Hearing the woman's words, the girl reached out hard, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, then nodded, and then she reached out and hugged her mother.

"Mom, you must come back........."

“…………… Well, mom will definitely be back. ”

Hearing the girl's whisper, the woman smiled and reached out to touch the girl's head.

"Go for it........."

"Uh-huh........."

The girl nodded, then she let go of her hands and glanced at her mother reluctantly, then turned and quickly disappeared into the dark depths of the tunnel.

The woman just stood there, silently watching her daughter's figure, until she completely disappeared into the darkness, and then the woman turned her head again and looked ahead. Then her body began to twist and deform, the blood-red pupils in her dark eyes shone with a crazy brilliance, and a long tail came out from behind the woman, and then, I saw the woman who turned into a ghoul like a creeper, leaping off and running to the wall, and then moving her limbs and rushing forward!

Walking through the dark tunnel, the gunfire had become scattered at this moment, and the woman could see that in front of the tunnel, the investigators and soldiers in white uniforms of the Countermeasures Bureau were raising their flashlights and firing forward, while the ground in front of them was bloodstained and torn corpses everywhere.

One of the most striking was a stout ghoul lying in front of the tunnel, its body like a hill, almost blocking half of the tunnel's entrance, and the soldiers were trying to move the corpse away so that they could move on.

"Roaring —————!!"

Seeing this corpse, the woman's eyes flashed red again, and she screamed and rushed over, and at the same time, the woman's tail shot out like a bayonet, directly piercing several countermeasure bureau soldiers who were decomposing the corpses.

"There's more!"

"Hurry up and shoot!"

In the face of the sudden attack, the soldiers of the countermeasures bureau were also taken aback, and they raised their weapons to target the woman and launched an attack. The woman, however, dodged their attacks again and again at a rapid pace, but it was clear that the soldiers of the Bureau of Countermeasures were not completely unprepared for this.

"Throw a grenade!"

With an order, I soon saw several soldiers rushing forward, taking out their grenades and throwing them near the woman, these were not ordinary grenades, but special white phosphorus bombs. Ordinary grenades and flames have no effect on ghouls at all, and only such cruel weapons will be able to inflict enough damage on them.

"Humph!"

Looking at the grenade thrown at her, the woman snorted inwardly, and then her tail swung out suddenly, hitting the grenade directly and bouncing it back. And those soldiers were hit by the grenade that bounced back before they could dodge, accompanied by a popping sound, and the next moment the burning flames immediately swallowed those soldiers completely, and those soldiers also fell to the ground in despair, letting out a miserable scream.

The woman didn't care about this, and her figure flashed again, and she attacked the investigator at the back of the group.

However, what the woman didn't expect was that when she passed through those soldiers who were struggling in pain, she saw that the soldiers who were covered in the flames of the white phosphorus bomb pounced on her and hugged her directly!

"What are you doing, damn it, let me go!"

Caught by these soldiers, the woman was also taken aback, her tail flicked again, and then the heads of several soldiers were randomly knocked out. However, the other soldiers still fought bravely and caught her fearlessly.

"Investigator, do it!"

"Kill this ghoul!"

"Don't care about us!"

"You ..................!!"

The woman was also shocked to hear the roar of the soldiers who had grabbed her and was lying on her stomach endure the flames of the white phosphorus bomb, and she saw that there was no fear in the eyes of the soldiers who were holding her, let alone fear and despair, on the contrary, there was only firm will and anger!

"Die, man-eating monster!"

"Hoo —————!!"

A spear stabbed head-on, piercing the woman's head, making a large hole in the back of her head, and the woman's body shook for a moment, and then slowly fell backwards. At the moment of her fall, she was staring at the tunnel behind her.

Wish......... Will you be able to live......... My daughter.........

Immediately after, the woman's world was completely swallowed up by darkness.

The flames were blazing, and the spear-wielding inquisitor looked down at his comrades who had been clutching the ghouls and died for them, bowing his head for a moment of silence, before he looked up and looked ahead.

"Go ahead, this time we must destroy the ghouls once and for all!"

"Yes!!"

There was hardly any light in the dark tunnel.

The girl stumbled and ran, her mind blank, she had no idea where she was going or who she was going to. But the girl firmly believes that her mother will definitely come back, she will take her father back to her side, and everyone will live happily ever after again.........

"Mom......... Father......... Yikes............! ”

Just as the girl turned the corner, she suddenly bumped into something extremely hard, which caused the girl to fall backwards to the ground. At first, the girl thought she had touched a door or a pillar or something, but when she looked up, the girl saw that in front of her was a terrible warrior in black steel armor, staring at the girl coldly, and the helmet emitted a scarlet glow.

"Woo ———!"

Although the girl didn't know what it was, her instinct made her leap to her feet and turn around to try to escape——— at the same time, a cold light flashed.

The girl's head spun and flew out, then slammed into the wall and fell to the ground, while its body took half a step forward like a baby learning to walk and fell to the ground.

The Iron Warrior withdrew his gaze, clenched the power sword in his hand, turned and continued to walk forward.

This is just the tip of the battlefield, where ghouls, humans, both sides have already killed red-eyed. Humans will never allow a single ghoul to survive, and in order to survive, ghouls must kill all invading humans.

"Damn, how could this .........!"

Repelling the human onslaught again, the blue-haired boy gritted his teeth. It was a surprise that the countermeasures bureau had dispatched such a large number of troops, but it made sense to think about it. However, what they couldn't figure out the most was that the will of these soldiers ——— be normal, and in the face of undefeatable ghouls, these lackeys of the countermeasures bureau had long since fled. But this time, no matter how many people they killed, there were still people who rushed at them without fear of death.

"Damn ........."

The blue-haired boy looked at his right hand and took a sip. It was the same wound he had just suffered, when he grabbed a soldier and tried to force him to beg for mercy, only to have the latter laugh and pull the grenade away, blowing off the blue-haired boy's arm. Although this was quickly healed, the blue-haired boy was still shocked by the other party's momentum, and he seemed to have discovered for the first time that there was such a terrifying side of human beings.

And it's not just an isolated case.

From every battlefield, the blue-haired boy could hear similar reports, humans were not afraid of death at all, they were simply crazy to fill human lives into this huge battlefield, and coldly carried out the strategy of never giving up until the ghouls were eliminated. Although ghouls are indeed powerful, after all, they are outnumbered, even ordinary cooperative soldiers who usually seem to be no threat, if they risk their lives to entangle ghouls, ghouls will not be so easy to break free.

"Why ..............."

At this moment, the blue-haired boy only felt extremely sad and indignant in his heart.

Why, do you have to exterminate us? Why, you don't want to let us go? Can't we really be allowed to live in this world?

Is it true that we only have one way to destroy?

It wasn't until the smell of rust came from the corners of his mouth that the blue-haired boy realized that he had completely bitten his lip, and he retracted his thoughts and prepared to fight again. However, at this moment, suddenly, the blue-haired boy received a report from the front.

"Headquarters, we can't stop it, Iron Demon......... Damn Iron Demon ............! ”

However, before the words could be finished, the communication was cut off.

"Is it finally here?"

But the blue-haired boy who heard the communication did not feel frightened and confused, instead, he stood up and looked ahead. In fact, from the very beginning of the battle, the blue-haired boy received news from all over the battlefield that ——— a group of tall, unidentified warriors dressed in pitch-black steel armor appeared on the battlefield and ruthlessly eliminated all the ghouls in their way. And the ghouls' great power is of no use to them.

Upon hearing these reports, the blue-haired boy immediately remembered that he had had a conversation with the Masked Man before heading to Area 24.

At that time, the Masked Man had always believed that a new force had entered the area, and that they had come to destroy the ghouls.

At the time, the blue-haired boy was still puzzled as to why the masked man was so sure, and the latter explained why. Recently, ghouls have been hunted and hunted by investigators, which shows that the countermeasures bureau must have more advanced means to deal with ghouls. But there has been no similar news coming out, so if you think about it carefully, it is more likely that there will be a new force entering the market.

After all, they and the Countermeasures Bureau have been in love and killed each other for so many years, and they are still very clear about the Countermeasures Bureau's foundation.

But for the masked man's speculation, the blue-haired boy had some doubts.

"If that's the case, then why don't we know anything about this emerging power?"

At that time, in the face of the blue-haired boy's question, the masked man just looked at him and said a word.

"Because the ghouls who met them all died."

Now it seems that it was.

But...............

"I want to see what this group of people is really good at!"

Clenching his fists, the blue-haired boy stared ahead, and soon, it didn't take long for him to see two red dots appear in the dark tunnel, and then the blue-haired boy saw a burly and tall warrior wearing pitch-black steel armor and a skull pattern on his chest holding a war hammer, striding over, and on the war hammer, stains of blood could still be seen.

Behind him, a blonde girl in a dress accompanied him.

"I didn't expect anyone to be faster than us."

Looking at the corpses of the investigators and soldiers of the Countermeasures Bureau on the ground in front of him, Duanmu Huai couldn't help but be taken aback.

"Looks like they're lucky."

"Is that lucky? Mr. Duanmu? ”

Mary complained silently, indeed, the team of the countermeasures bureau was able to rush to the core area of District 24 in front of the Duanmu Huai who opened the perspective map and hung it, which really surprised her. But looking at the annihilation of the other party, it is difficult to say whether they are lucky or unlucky.

"Are you here to destroy our mysterious forces?"

Looking at Duanmu Huai in front of him, the blue-haired young man glared at him viciously.

"I'd like to see what you're capable of!"

As he spoke, he saw the blue-haired boy jump up, and then a light wing emerged from behind him, and flying spikes poured out of it, directly towards Duanmu Huai, of course, this kind of attack that was enough to penetrate the human body was not even a scratch for Duanmu Huai's armor.

"That's interesting."

It's just that looking at the attack of the blue-haired boy in front of him, Duanmu Huai couldn't help but sigh.

"I really didn't expect to be able to encounter the same attack, I thought it was quite rare."

"What did you say?!"

Hearing Duanmu Huai's emotion, the blue-haired boy's heart sank, although it is said that each ghoul's Kazuko is different, but when it comes to the same attack, the only thing the blue-haired boy can think of is his twin sister——— she also has the same Kazuko as herself, so she can naturally launch the same attack.

"Where have you seen an attack like mine before? Say! ”

Thinking of this, the blue-haired boy widened the distance between him and Duanmu Huai, glaring at him angrily. At the same time, his heart couldn't help but tremble, because the blue-haired boy at this moment had a bad premonition.........

Regarding the blue-haired boy's inquiry, Duanmu Huai didn't care at all.

"I remember it was a blue-haired female ghoul, she was quite desperate at the time, and of course she couldn't do it in front of me, but her light wings were quite beautiful, similar to you......... Could it be that you are twins? ”

"You bastard!!!"

Hearing this, the blue-haired boy only felt endless anger, which instantly erupted from the depths of his heart.

"I'm going to kill you!!!"

With a roar, the blue-haired boy rushed towards Duanmu Huai again!
