Seeing the blood flowers blooming from the bodies of his parents, Manami Mizuhara's eyes flashed with a trace of red that was redder than blood.

“……”

She stood stunned in place, not taking any defensive measures, and a barrage of bullets swept by, and the powerful momentum sent her body backwards and flew backwards, and at the same time, a series of blood sprayed from her body.

"Quick, we're going to get rid of her!"

Lieutenant Colonel Darcy shouted wildly and directed the soldiers to continue firing at Manami Mizuhara without stopping.

However, just where the bullets roared, in the direction they had locked, the figure that had been flying upside down stepped on the wall of the passage in mid-air in an extremely distorted posture.

And then he galloped at a speed unimaginable to ordinary people!

——

The smoke of bullets and blood dissipated.

Fragments of wreckage and limbs fell.

The transcendent shuttles through the crowd at breakneck speeds that cannot be caught with the naked eye, and the shouts and screams are endless.

Until the end.

- The dust has settled.

There was complete silence in the passage of the cabin.

And the entire Lambry also became silent.

There were limbs and wreckage scattered everywhere.

- Fragments of bullets, wreckage of guns.

And the soldiers, staggering in the passage.

As for Lieutenant Colonel Darcy, he had fainted in a pool of blood.

……

Maybe he has been in a coma for a long time in the eyes of others.

When Lieutenant Colonel Darcy woke up again, he found himself tightly bound up from top to bottom.

And the environment in front of him is no longer the passage between the cabins, but a place he is extremely familiar with-

The main control room of this "Lambry".

The main control room of the cruiser, which is blessed with new information technology and electronic communication technology, has long been detached from the stupid black and thick of the old days, and it seems that it is full of extremely sophisticated instruments and screens.

Lieutenant Colonel Darcy himself, on the other hand, was tied up with ropes and placed in the corner of the main control room.

In addition to him, as far as the naked eye could see, most of the thousands of personnel in the entire warship, including soldiers, were also restrained, or hung or tied to various places in the main control room.

Of course, it is impossible for the thousand-square-meter main control room to accommodate all these personnel, so from Lieutenant Colonel Darcy's own perspective, he can clearly see that even the passage outside the main control room has been filled with bound prisoners.

“…… Are we all prisoners of war? ”

Lieutenant Colonel Darcy had a strange expression, a twisted sneer on his face.

But in just a moment, this strange expression was replaced by a gloomy look.

Because at this very moment, that terrible enemy had already walked in front of him.

- Manami Mizuhara.

The new transcendent.

Enemies of the United States.

"Why didn't you kill me?"

Lieutenant Colonel Darcy narrowed his eyes and asked her in a hoarse voice.

Manami Mizuhara stared at him, eyes as if frozen like fossils.

She didn't answer at the first time.

After a moment, the light in his eyes shone slightly, and Manami Mizuhara's eyes turned into the silence of Gu Yan.

"I ...... Will kill you, but not now. ”

Manami Mizuhara's voice is incomparably calm and real.

But Lieutenant Colonel Darcy still squinted, looking her back and forth.

Although he had suffered a lot of injuries in the battle just now, and the back of his head was still aching, he did not have the slightest fluctuation in his posture and maintained the toughness of the officer.

So, his tough gaze swept over Manami Mizuhara's body, and finally showed a sadistic expression as if he had found some gap:

"I see...... I see...... I see it - the reason why you don't kill me is not because you have any purpose, but simply because you don't want to kill yet, and you don't dare to kill people!

"Although you have the most powerful weapon in the world, you are still a recruit who has never seen blood! Hahaha! ”

Lieutenant Colonel Darcy laughed uncontrollably.

Manami Mizuhara still maintained steady breathing and a calm expression, but the muscles in her arms became stiff in an instant.

“…… It's not like that. ”

She stared intently at Lieutenant Colonel Darcy, but the latter pressed her without fear, and there was no room for doubt in the conviction in that eye:

"-If it weren't for that, you'd kill me?!"

He grinned wildly, and a crazy look appeared in his eyes, which made Manami Mizuhara's eyes suddenly froze.

"Girl, you know what? Your eyes now resemble one of the recruit subordinates I brought with me on a mission in West Asia, and he has never seen blood. In training, the guy was always ruthless against a humanoid target, and was able to hit eight fast-moving human molds in ten seconds - but do you know what happens when he actually goes into battle? The idiot faced the enemy in the desert, whether unarmed or heavily armed, and hesitated for a full fifteen seconds when aiming until a grenade was thrown over his head and he was still hesitating!

"Now you're that idiot, that idiot! You're the kind of coward who can't shoot anyone even if you're blown up, aren't you?! Even if you are given a strong weapon, it will be useless, because you can't shoot!

"—if you're not like that, kill me, prove it to me, come on!"

Lieutenant Colonel Darcy looked at Manami Mizuhara with an expression of staring at his prey, who stared at him.

Long.

Manami Mizuhara closed her eyes and breathed deeply, as if something was colliding violently and tearing in her heart.

But in the end, there was still no breakthrough of the defensive line.

Then she got up.

Manami Mizuhara seemed to be deaf, and no longer listened to Lieutenant Colonel Darcy's words, and left the main control room.

“…… I'm going to protect my parents' bodies, and I'm going to trouble you with the rest. ”

Naturally, this sentence was not addressed to Lieutenant Colonel Darcy, but to one of the few people in the main control room who remained free.

Lieutenant Colonel Darcy stared coldly at the two men in the main control room who were still free with bloodshot eyes.

Those were the two researchers who were behind the surveillance screen together before, watching the situation of Manami Mizuhara.

"Fontos, Stanney—but you two want to betray America!"

Lieutenant Colonel Darcy roared at the two men.

Stanny tilted her head as if she hadn't heard, and looked at the monitor screen in the cruiser's mechanical room, looking intently, as if she was obviously a biologist and was deeply interested.

As for Fangos, Lieutenant Colonel Darcy's momentum seemed to have no effect on him.

Faced with the latter's questioning, he shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly and said:

"I'm sorry, Lieutenant Colonel Darcy, Stanny and I are both pure researchers, let alone combat—even the auxiliary combat has nothing to do with us. So it's not much use for us to be free or not.

“…… Is that why you are standing there and helping America's enemies monitor the hull situation? ”

Lieutenant Colonel Darcy said in a tone of fornicated anger.

And the latter is still smiling:

"No, Lieutenant Colonel Darcy - you should know how highly automated the 'Lambry' is. Even when unmanned, it can travel short and medium distances. Stanny and I are standing here just in case something happens on the way back. ”

"Return ......"

Lieutenant Colonel Darcy's pupils widened instantly, and he looked at Fang Gos with a shocked and angry expression.

"What are you talking about?!!"

Fang Gos easily pointed to the hull displayed on the main control screen, and said to Lieutenant Commander Darcy:

"Lieutenant Commander Darcy, here is a show of the voyage of the 'Lambry'...... Didn't you just pay attention? ”

Lieutenant Colonel Darcy's pupils dilated even more.

There was unbelievable anger in his eyes.

Because on the main control screen, the real-time navigation chart display of the "Lambry" is impressively marked that the destination of the voyage has undergone a 180-degree deflection - from the port of the United States to the port of Yokosuka.

As for the distance......

This cruiser is only a little more than 100 nautical miles away from returning to the Yokosuka military port.

In a few hours, it will be back in port!
