Chapter 90: Libra Investigation
"Why become a facilitator?"
Olivia thought of her parents and people who had died tragically in her hometown, and the devastating impact of the virus on her life, and the images of the beautiful past before the war, turning into the strange leeches that emitted viruses all over her body.
Olivia gritted her teeth and said, "To kill Libra, of course!" Avenge our parents and people! I have worked hard over the years to start a civilian security company and find a suitable starter. I. Every night when I close my eyes, my parents who died in agony, and that damn Libra will come to my mind."
"Uh-huh," Isabella nodded, and asked rhetorically, "So what are you hesitating about?" ”
Isabella pointed to the house, then to herself, and said, "There is a civil security company, there is a suitable starter, and what is even more pleasing is that our strength is not bad, even if we can't kill Libra, we can collect some useful information for the time being." ”
"Good! Walk! Olivia suddenly got up, "I'll book a ticket to Yingzhou Sendai!" ”
With the blessing of Olivia's banknote ability, the logistics team of the two has more than a dozen people.
Over the years, Olivia has figured out how to deal with Libra whenever she has free time, and she has all the supplies she needs to deal with Libra, so she doesn't need to spend time shopping.
On the plane, Olivia, who was flipping through the Libra profile, regretted it, and she gently poked Isabella in the shoulder.
"Little Isabella, I've thought about it, or we'd better go back, shall we?"
Isabella frowned, in her eyes, her facilitator is a thousand times better than someone else's, whether it is personality or other aspects, but in the matter of Libra, Olivia seems to be a different person, hesitant, anxious, and unassertive, and Olivia when dealing with various crises before.
"We're already on the plane!" Isabella's voice was slightly higher, "We're just going to investigate Libra's intelligence this time, and we're not facing it directly.
If you have the idea of 'running away', you will never be able to fulfill your true desire to become a facilitator! ”
Olivia was silent for a long time before she said, "You're right, little Isabella, but you're too young to know how terrible Libra is." The words recorded in the history books cannot make people feel its blood.
When Libra landed in the Russian Federation, the entire Russian Federation turned into hell, and every minute someone was infected with an incurable virus, and it was rumored that the rancid smell of human corpses spread all the way to the capital of China.
My parents. They are just doing business on the fringes of the epidemic zone, and the result? After flying back to their hometown, they infected many people, but fortunately, there is only one virus in their bodies, unlike the Russian Federation, otherwise the consequences will be more serious. It was the Libra landings more than a decade ago that made the people of the Russian Federation generally not very friendly to the Cursed Child. ”
"And." Olivia raised her head and squeezed out a smile, "I think our life is not bad, but I want to be with little Isabella forever, Libra or something, compared to little Isabella, it doesn't matter." ”
Isabella bowed, "Now we have the best protective suits, don't worry, I'll protect you." ”
Hearing Isabella say this, Olivia's smile squeezed out was a little more natural.
After more than ten hours of flight, Olivia and others landed at Yingzhou Sendai Airport.
As soon as she got off the plane, Isabella didn't like the country of Yingzhou very much.
The news that they came to Yingzhou to find Libra was sold by IISO as intelligence, and many people from the large and small private security companies in Sendai came.
I heard that there was also a nearby Tokyo Civil Security Company, and Isabella was very unaccustomed to that scene. In particular, the attitude of some facilitators towards starters made Isabella even more unhappy.
In America, even if the promoter and the initiator do not agree, they will not be superficial, and can be submitted to the IISO branch to wait for processing, while the promoter on the Yingzhou side is like using a tool, instructing the initiator to do all kinds of things, without giving the initiator the slightest respect.
Isabella and Olivia first participate in an inexplicable welcome party with the authorities, and then discuss their experiences with the military, civilian security companies, and other forces that have the initiators.
If it weren't for Olivia's insistence, I'm afraid there would have been some actual combat and other links.
Hotel.
Olivia and Isabella couldn't hide their tiredness on their faces, they would rather go to the shoreline to deal with the beast tide than have various meetings with the group of people in Yingzhou.
"It's good that they gave us the approximate haunt location of Libra." Olivia opened the map, and outside the giant stone monument in the Sendai area, the blood-red colored parts were the places where Libra once moved.
Isabella sighed, "Tomorrow they will send someone to reconnoiter that place with us, one by one, they are really not afraid of death." ”
"They were thrilled to see little Isabella." Olivia said with a smile: "We are also a powerful combination with a reputation and an international IP ranking of 177!" I've seen IISO's records, and in the Sendai and Tokyo areas, there are very few civilian security guards in the top 300 IP rankings, let alone us. ”
Isabella also smiled, and in addition to being a good facilitator partner, she was also quite proud of her own strength.
'Wait, Olivia,' Isabella said silently in her heart, 'I'll open the realm sooner or later, and then we'll seek revenge on Libra!' ’
Early in the morning, several helicopter gunships crossed the megalithic monument and entered the territory of the original animal.
The morning fog seemed to obscure everything, and visibility was extremely low.
Isabella in the small protective suit looked left and right, frowning slightly, in her field of vision, those tall promoters were all dressed in yellow protective suits, and the petite starters like her were still wearing normal clothes, and the slightly better ones would wear gas masks.
But what's the use of that? The Libra virus can get infected when it comes into contact with the skin! Moreover, there are too many people who went to investigate this time!
With so many people together, it's hard not to get the attention of the original intestines in the forest! At that time, what Libra is still investigating, and it will take most of the time to deal with all kinds of gastrulations.
"You guys." Isabella organized the language and chose to speak to the leader in the helicopter: "Why don't you equip them with protective suits too?" The Libra virus is no joke, it gets on the skin."
Without waiting for Isabella to speak, the man in the lead smiled: "It's okay, we fragile humans are not the same as you physically strong starters, there have been experiments in the Sendai region, and some of the cursed children will be fine if they are exposed to the virus emitted by Libra, especially the kind of children with virulence factors or antidote factors, they are born Libra nemesis." ”
Isabella's brows furrowed, what the other party said made her feel uncomfortable, and what made her even more uncomfortable was that none of the children who were about her age came out to refute it, as if all this was taken for granted.
"Heh~" The person next to the man suddenly spoke: "It's not that group of unscrupulous profiteers, when Libra appeared near Sendai a few days ago, the price of protective clothing was speculated!" Forget about the protective clothing for adults, the protective clothing for children is more expensive than that for adults!
Originally, the price of protective clothing was about to fall, but as a result, the unscrupulous media publicized what you were going to do to the public, and the profiteers took the opportunity to raise the price again, but I didn't have the money to buy protective clothing for children.
Besides, once a combat incident occurs, the protective clothing will be scrapped immediately, what is the difference between buying and not buying? ”
"No," Olivia began, "Libra can synthesize hundreds of thousands of viruses, you can't gamble with children's anti-toxicity, I thought you had protective clothing in your backpack. Let's go back today, buy suitable protective clothing for the children, and then come back to investigate. ”
"I trust my starter, and it wasn't much for us to hang out in the Libra-infested outer zone the other day." The man spread his hands and said, "There's no need for this. ”
"I'll pay." Olivia raised her voice.
There was no one in the helicopter to refute, and the man looked at the captain, waiting for him to make a decision.
"Miss Olivia," said the captain, "you are a powerful veteran civilian security guard, and you understand the preciousness of our time in this business, there are too many people on our side, and the civilian security of the military, Tokyo, and large groups are mixed in, and if you choose to return, some people will definitely be dissatisfied."
What's more, Libra has been away for a while, and the army has also tested the concentration of the virus, and it will not cause us harm. ”
"Dissatisfied? Wouldn't it be nice if you didn't follow us? Isabella clasped her hands to her chest, with a hint of unhappiness on her little face.
The captain smiled and said: "Miss Isabella, the terrain of Yingzhou is not comparable to that of America, and the ecology of the protozoa is also different.
The people above have asked us to be responsible for the safety of our guests, and we are also acting according to orders, so please understand. ”
"The Libra virus doesn't work for me." At this time, the black-haired girl beside the captain said crisply: "Don't worry, we have experimented." ”
"Experiments?" Olivia and Isabella were startled and swept over the starter inside the helicopter.
"Anyway, rest assured." The captain comforted: "All our activities are legal and compliant. ”
Isabella stopped talking, and even the 'partners' who were also starters were not on her side, and it was not good to force them to fight for their rights.
In the silence of the crowd, the helicopter slowly landed on a fairly flat ruin.
The civilian guards, led by the captain, jumped out one after another, looking up at the morning mist that filled the forest.
"Why is the fog so heavy today? The weather forecast doesn't show it either. ”
"It's a little far from the Sendai area, so the forecast station doesn't care about the sky here."
The initiators stayed by their facilitators one by one with blank faces, without any bio-chemical protection, in stark contrast to Isabella in a chemical protection suit.
"Miss Olivia," the man who came down from the other helicopter walked up to the two of them with a smile and stretched out his hand, "I am a representative of the Tokyo Civil Security Company, and I didn't have time to greet Miss Olivia and Miss Isabella yesterday, and welcome the two of you to Yingzhou for research." ”
"Hello, it's okay, the task is important." Olivia shook her hand briefly.
The man sent out an invitation: "When the research is over, Miss Olivia may wish to come with me to Tokyo to have a look?" Colleagues in Tokyo were looking forward to Miss Olivia and Miss Isabella. ”
"I'll think about it, and I'll talk about it until the research is over." Olivia didn't want to say too much, so he turned to the captain and said, "We have too many people, the target is too big, and it is easy to attract original intestines, so it is more appropriate to divide into several teams to investigate." ”
"Miss Olivia is very experienced, so I'll arrange it."
Isabella was silent, she hated the Tokyoite, and even through the hazmat suit, she could still feel the disgusting gaze that seemed to be looking at her favorite product.
Olivia's team followed Libra's footprints, while the rest of the team scattered in their own direction.
Tokyo Civil Security Squad.
"Captain, how's it going? Can you stay? The man asked the man who had just accosted Olivia.
"It's still 200 kilometers from Tokyo, so there's not much chance of it."
"What then? This time the employer gave a high amount! She's the 177th ranker! ”
"You're crazy, 177! The ranking of the top three hundred, let alone Tokyo, there are not a few such strong starters in the entire Yingzhou. ”
"The opportunity is rare or to investigate Libra. Investigating the protosagulars of Libra's level, even if there is an accident in the top 100 civilian guards, is it normal? ”
“.”
The other side.
"Miss Olivia, you see, this is the first area where Libra haunts."
In the forest, where all kinds of plants flourish to the point that there is almost nowhere to put their feet, there is a huge pit with a diameter of 100 meters and a bottomless depth, and the woods around the pit have lost their vitality, the leaves are completely gone, and the bark and trunks are broken when touched, without a little water.
Isabella stood at the edge of the pit and looked into the darkness, and before long, a dark wind from nowhere passed through her hazmat suit, causing her hair to stand on end.
Just looking at this bottomless pit, Isabella felt a sense of powerlessness rose in her heart, such a powerful creature, with only her and Olivia, can it really be destroyed?
"There's still a virus here, right?" Olivia frowned, "Let the children wait at the camp, and we'll look ahead." ”
"It doesn't matter, they're tested for virus resistance." The captain didn't say much on the subject, pointing to the north where the crater was connected, "We suspect this is the landing site for Libra, and then it went some distance in that direction. ”
Isabella looked at it, where the jungle of trees had been run over by a behemoth, and the ground was grayish-brown with a faint rancid smell.
"Let's go." Olivia overcame her deepest fears and strode in the direction the captain was pointing.
Isabella followed Olivia closely, her eagle-sharp eyes scanning back and forth, alerted to a possible threat from the forest.
"Olivia," Isabella said, "it would be better for us to walk at the edge of the forest, where we are too conspicuous. ”
Without waiting for Olivia to speak, the captain said: "It's okay, the protogulars here don't dare to challenge Libra, there is the breath of Libra, they"
"Roaring ——!"
