Chapter 16: Secret Movements

"You can use the magic of a beast without relying on the flesh of the beast, and that little girl's talent is unique. So, we have to find a way to bring her back. ”

Under the scorching midday sun, the soldier bee lit a cigarette at seven, bit it in his mouth, and took a deep breath:

"Fangting City can't stay anymore, we have to act as soon as possible, and while the living forces are still there, we will concentrate on breaking through."

In the twenty-fifth day of being trapped in Fangting City, Bing Bee Seven had never felt as anxious as he did at this moment.

The power of Ember Dawn in the city is dwindling, and the Anomalies are constantly circling and suppressing them like hyenas. Today, there are almost only the last core teams left.

If the "moth" was still there, it would be impossible for Ember Dawn to fall into such a situation as it is now. But since Moth was defeated by the magical girl, and the management of the Fangting City Strange Strategy Bureau changed hands, the whole situation was reversed in an instant.

Ember Dawn, who could have been said to be swaggering and carrying out various actions, did not care at all about exposing the traces, and had to carefully hide his whereabouts to prevent being discovered by the magical girl.

There is no other reason, the magical girls who can kill the "moth", there will not be any difficulty in killing them.

Moth is the king of Ember Dawn, arguably the closest to the core of power, and the most powerful of the people. Even among the Ember Servants, Moth is not known for its combat ability, but it is not difficult to defeat an Ember army like them.

And now, the moth is dead. The Beast Cultivator Force of the Ember Army under her command was also cleared by the silk threads that fell from the sky on that strange night, and only some remnants of the team were still hiding in Fangting City.

There aren't many beasts in these remnants themselves, and even if they do, they don't have much strength. In addition, the dragons had no leader, and they were unable to reach cooperation for a long time, and were finally wiped out one by one by the different strategy bureaus.

Of course, Bing Bee Seven and his team are an exception.

Because they were not moths in the first place, they did not participate in the operation that night.

Relying on the concealment and protection of the moth, at the peak of the power of the Black Ember Dawn, there were at most three ember armies from different sources in Fangting City at the same time: the "soldier moth" and the "worker moth" belonging to the "moth"; belongs to the "Soldier Touch" and "Worker Touch" of the "Heavenly Cow"; The "soldier bees" and "worker bees" belong to the "bees".

Among them, the Ember Army of "Moth" naturally doesn't need to say much, those are her direct subordinates, entrenched in Fangting City, at her disposal; The origin of the "Heavenly Bull" Ember Army is slightly different, and these people are moving around the entire Donghua Prefecture, looking for high-quality food and possible "sacrifices"; As for the Ember Army of "Bees", it is a transaction between bees and moths.

Bee paid Moth to allow his men to enter her territory and take away some of the things he wanted. Among these "things", a girl named Bai Jingxuan is included by name.

Seven became the executor of this mission.

As one of the few Ember Soldiers under Bee who had reached the strength of the Chrysalis Rank, he had come to Fangting City a month ago. It was only after arriving in this city that they found out that this matter had been stirred up by the "Heavenly Bull" Ember Army that had been killed halfway; In desperation, they stopped, and while they were still thinking about their next move, Moth was killed by the magical girl again.

This made Bing Bee Qi reflect on whether he should tell his fortune before going out.

Unfortunately, it was too late to think about this stubble, the change in the situation was so sudden that they had no time to react, and they were besieged here.

"It's easy for you to say that you want to take her away, but that little girl is now a magical girl. The mad dog of Bing Touches Three has brought things to this point, and it will be difficult for us to continue to act. ”

Next to Bing Bee Seven, Bing Bee Twenty-five was squatting in the corner of the wall, staring into the void: "If I can really leave this ghost place, I must tell the 'Heavenly Cow' fiercely and ask him how he led his subordinates." ”

"Don't think about these useless things now, think about how to break through."

Exhaling a puff of white smoke from his nasal cavity, Soldier Bee Qi glanced at him: "I don't know what new equipment has been put on by the Alien Bureau recently, and there are already beasts who have been captured by them, and if this continues, we won't be able to hide for long until all the moth's troops are brought to justice." ”

These days, under several rounds of encirclement and pursuit by the Alien Bureau, they fought and retreated, constantly narrowing the scope of their operations, and in the end, they could only hide in a small private house.

Although they controlled the original owner of the house and asked the other party to provide them with materials to survive, this was not a long-term solution. Such a large group of people, even if they are completely still, cannot leave no traces.

"Let's change places, Fangting City is so big, it's not impossible to fight guerrilla warfare with them."

Soldier Bee Twenty-Five is obviously quite pessimistic about the "breakout": "Push all the manpower to break through, and even want to take a magical girl with you when you leave, and you may end up attracting a flower-level monster...... Are you sure you're not talking in your sleep? ”

"I'm sure."

Bing Bee Qi's face was calm: "There is no point in simply breaking through, if we can't bring back that little girl, we will die the same." And now may be our last chance, and if it drags on, I am afraid it will become more and more difficult to get out. ”

"Why?" Soldier Bee Twenty-five looked surprised.

"Because the moth is gone, this is the territory of the magical girl."

Bing Bee Seven stretched out his hand and pointed out the window: "Like a flower blooming in the field, if there is one, there will be a second; The communication between magical girls will make more and more magical girls here. ”

“…… Tsk, that's troublesome. ”

"yes, that's a nuisance."

Bing Bee Qi seemed to mumble to himself, "So the only way to leave is now." ”

"Do you have a way?"

"Just thought of it."

"What's the solution?"

"Hostages."

Bee Seven lowered his head again: "After the investigation of the Secret Son of the Alien Bureau, their new director seems to have a close relationship with the magical girl - the message left by Moth shows that he has some connection to the blue flower level, and our mission target seems to have a very close relationship with him. ”

“…… So you're planning to kidnap the director of the Alien Bureau? ”

Soldier Bee Twenty-Five looked at him like he was looking at a madman: "At this juncture? Aren't you afraid that blue monster will tear you alive? ”

"So I'm going to 'kidnap' our mission target."

Soldier Bee Seven looked at Soldier Bee Twenty-Five's eyes as if he was looking at a fool: "Threaten the director of the Alien Strategy Bureau with her life, go and pretend to ask for something, and use him to get that blue flower-level rat trap." But in reality, we are just pretending to threaten, and what we really need is 'hostages', and after misleading their actions, we can find a chance to escape." ”

"Don't I think kidnapping a magical girl is a better idea, there is no safer way?"

"It's just a bud-level magical girl, if you don't want to kidnap her, the only choice left is to kill that blue flower level first."

Bing Bee Seven threw the remaining half of the cigarette to the ground and stomped on the cigarette butt with his foot: "Which one do you think is more feasible?" ”

“…… Let's kidnap that little girl. ”

Soldier Bee Twenty-Five watched him step on the cigarette butt: "And then?" How to kidnap? How do you escape after you are really kidnapped? ”

"There are still the last two shadows in the Strange Strategy, because they haven't acted before, so they haven't been found out yet."

Bing Bee Qi paced around the room with his hands behind his back: "The other shadows have been pulled out, so these two shadows will inevitably be pulled out after they are used, and we only have one chance left." ”

"First of all, we need a swagger, and as you said, we're going to split our forces in two ways. The main manpower is to squat at the goal of our mission, that is, the little girl; The rest of the men pretend to attack the director of the Alien Bureau, and it is best to have a beast of the rank above the Worm Rank, and force the other magical girls to support the Alien Bureau first. ”

"After that, we grabbed the little girl and went to negotiate with the director of the Alien Bureau: if we want to save her life, we will return the source of the beast left by the moth, and stop tracking and encircling us until the quid pro quo is met."

"Finally, let the shadows perform some simple operations on the scheduling of the Alien Bureau, leaving us with a gap of about 5 minutes, so that we can directly climb over the protective net outside the city and escape through the wasteland."

"Huh? Walking the wasteland? ”

Soldier Bee's voice suddenly raised a few octaves: "What are you kidding?" What's the difference between that and going straight to death? ”

"If I'm still alive by then, we'll have the capital to barely survive from the wasteland."

Bing Bee Seven's voice was calm, hoarse with a chilling madness: "They won't let us get on a landboard, our only way to survive is to physically walk through the wasteland." ”

"What if we die in the wasteland?"

Soldier Bee Twenty-Five swallowed a mouthful of saliva: "We're going to take the mission with us, and if we die, she'll die in the wasteland." When the time comes, the boss is afraid that he will take our souls back and refine them into fodder. ”

"So I'll inform the boss before I flee into the wasteland, and ask him to send someone to meet us in the wasteland."

Bing Bee Seven stood by the window of the house: "If we die, as long as we leave a little living space for that little girl before we die, the boss's people will take her away." ”

His words silenced Soldier Bee.

The two of them belong to the same command of Bee, and they can be regarded as a pair of comrades-in-arms with a long experience of cooperation, and he is very aware of the character and ability of Bing Bee Seven, which seems to be their last choice at the moment.

In the end, he shrank in Fangting City like this, slowly waiting to die like a frog in warm water; It doesn't seem like a choice is a choice to go crazy with the last of your strength and fight for the only way to survive.

Everyone who joins the dawn of embers has some kind of desire and pursuit, and for this pursuit, life is often just a kind of bargaining chip.

Gambling is something that each of them has been doing since they embarked on this road.

"I don't even know if I'm going to praise you for being a smart madman or a crazy smart person."

He leaned back against the wall: "You can always convince me with your crooked reasoning, and this time too, you won." ”

"I just want to live."

Soldier Bee Seven looked indifferent: "Any creature will burst out of wisdom when it tries to survive, and this is still the case for beasts, let alone us humans. ”

"So when do you do it?"

Soldier Bee Twenty-Five shook his head, obviously not going to pay attention to his self-talk: "Since you launched this plan, you have already set a time. ”

"Two more days."

Soldier Bee Seven turned back from the window: "We need to do a little guidance, trick the moth's troops out and feed them to the Alien Bureau, and create an opportunity to easily capture the mission target." ”

"That is, I will be sent to death in two days, and I will have to eat a good meal before I start."

Soldier Bee Twenty-five rubbed his stomach: "Speaking of which, our people have been frugal for several days, and the food that can be eaten in this house has long been eaten, why hasn't the owner of the house sent us new supplies?" ”

"There will be no new supplies." Soldier Bee Seven walked back into the house.

"Why?"

"Because there's no more owner."

Stretching out his hand to the living room not far away, his fingertips pointed at a few black plastic bags placed in the corner of the wall, and the soldier bee Qi looked indifferent: "Yesterday I heard their mobile phone ringing, and I suspected that someone was trying to call the police, so I ended their mission early." ”

"Ah, no wonder."

Soldier Bee nodded: "I said why there is always a smell in the living room, which makes my beast intestines always stir." ”

"It just so happens that pigs can also play their due value after they die."

Bing Bee Seven took out a cigarette from his pocket, put it to his lips, and raised his hand to light the lighter. The light of the lighter passed through the palm of his hand, and the flickering light was reflected in his dark and empty eyes:

"That way, we won't need to look for other supplies for the next two days."

……

……

Lin Yun returned to the Alien Bureau alone.

In the end, he still did not agree to the "product trial" of the emerald, even if the other party lowered the conditions again and again, and finally changed from taking off clothes to taking off socks.

Emerald claimed that her previous behavior was just to collect data on the ability of the delphinium, and now she wants to take off her socks to be closer to the skin to make it easier to check, but the delphinium always feels that there is something wrong with this, so she politely refuses and leaves the institute.

Of course, when it comes to her own injury, Delphinium didn't say anything too much, but just replied "continue to think about it".

As soon as he returned to the Alien Bureau, Tian Sheng, who had been waiting outside the door, followed, he followed Lin Yun into the director's office, and handed out the documents in his hand with ease:

"Director, this is our operational briefing for the last few days."

Lin Yun reached out and took the document, sat down at his desk, and briefly flipped through it to grasp the key point: "Captured two beasts?" So fast? ”

"Thanks to the magic armament."

Tian Sheng scratched the back of his head: "Our captain has been singing praises for your great achievements in the past few days. I've experienced it myself, and I think it's too advanced. ”

"Dead things are just dead things, weapons still depend on the person who uses them, you use weapons to defeat the enemy, that's your credit, you don't need to come and pat my ass."

Lin Yun waved his hand lightly, and did not take this flattery: "In this way, your squad is already the one who has made the greatest contribution in the Special Operations Department, do you have any needs and plans for the future?" ”

"Oh, in this case, in fact, our captain asked me to submit an application for you."

Tian Sheng scratched his head and handed out another document in his hand:

"According to the investigation feedback of other teams, there seems to be traces of the people of Ember Dawn hiding in a residential area in Lixing District, and he wants to apply for search permission there."

"Residential area? Are you sure? ”

Lin Yun didn't doubt him, stretched out his hand to take the document handed out by Tian Sheng, his eyes swept to the paper, and then slowly read out the content printed on it:

- "The name of the neighborhood is ...... 'Lakeside Spring'?" ”
