Start a core cabin

The earth was shattered.

When Duanmu Huai landed the fighter plane, what they saw was a ruined city.

It was obvious that the city had been attacked by the Zerg.

And it looked like the situation was very bad. Just from the fire, gunshots and explosions in the city, it could be heard that the war was far from over.

"Thank you for your help."

The girl who walked out of the cabin had regained her armored look, which disappointed Alicia. Not only because the armor covered the cute face of the silver-haired girl, but also because her originally brisk and pleasant voice seemed low and full of metal under the armor, just like a man's voice.

If everyone hadn't seen the girl in it, they would probably have only regarded the other party as a man.

"I'm going back to the team to report the battle situation and continue to participate in the battle."

"Hey? Are you leaving now?"

"Yes."

The girl nodded.

"Article 8 of the Gramer Military Code states that surviving knights should return to the team on their own initiative. So, I wish you all a safe journey."

After saying this, everyone saw the armor leap up and quickly disappear into the horizon.

"Ah............"

Reluctantly retracting her gaze, Alysia sighed.

"I still hope to communicate with her more."

"I think half of the reason she ran so fast is because of you."

Duanmu Huai complained speechlessly on the side.

"If you don't want to pounce on a girl when you see her, you won't be like this. Can't you restrain yourself a little?"

"Beautiful and cute girls are the treasures of this world. What's wrong with wanting to appreciate them?"

"Then go and look at them slowly in a mirror. No one cares how long you look at them."

"So, Mr. Grand Inquisitor, you also think I'm beautiful and cute?"

"Hehe..."

Faced with Alysia's narcissistic questioning, Duanmu Huai sneered and didn't answer.

So what if you're beautiful and cute? You're not my woman. You're useless.

"Master, what should we do now?"

Duanmu Huai didn't say anything, but Mu Geng couldn't stand the "flirting" between him and Alysia, so he rushed over and hugged Duanmu Huai's arm, and then asked. At the same time, she didn't forget to roll her eyes at Alysia, and the latter waved her hand at Mu Geng happily--well, for Alysia, cute girls are pleasing to the eye no matter what they do.

This made Mu Geng even more unhappy.

"Well... Anyway, let's go and see the situation first."

As the Grand Inquisitor, Duanmu Huai is not unfamiliar with the Zerg. He has experienced the war with the Tyranid Zerg and the war with the Zeger Zerg. Basically, the most disgusting thing about the Zerg is the huge number of Zerg tactics, and then the various uncomfortable biological warfare styles.

This place is not much better, but at least there is one good thing--that is, they don't have to walk on heavy, crushing, and rotten biomass or fungal blankets.

But the bugs still have to be fought.

"Buzz---!!!"

Accompanied by the sound of wings vibrating, the insect swarm, which was about the size of a car, rushed forward on the street. But then, a series of shining arrows whizzed out and pierced through the bodies of these insects. Ai Lishia held a longbow in her hand, and shuttled through this reinforced concrete forest like an elf. The longbow in her hand burst out with a speed comparable to that of a Gatling gun, shooting down the insect swarm from the air.

However, although Ai Lishia showed the power of a humanoid self-propelled anti-aircraft gun, the insect swarm was still endless and continued to move forward unremittingly.

On the other side, Mu Geng also waved the demon in his hand and shuttled back and forth among the insect swarm. Every time she swung the sharp blade, the whistling sword energy would sweep around and split the insects in front of her into two. This caused a short gap in the dense insect swarm—although it would be filled up soon.

"These guys are too difficult to deal with!"

While slashing the insects, Mu Geng couldn't help but complain. In Mu Geng's opinion, these bugs are not much stronger than low-level demons individually, at most they are a little bigger.

However, these bugs have several disgusting characteristics.

First, they will self-destruct when they die. Although the range is not large, the chain explosion is very deadly. If you are not careful, even Mu Geng can't stand it.

Second, these bugs can actually split!

Mu Geng once watched those big bugs split into two relatively small bugs, and then these two relatively small bugs can split into two individuals!

This, coupled with the self-destruction characteristics of the bugs, is simply torture for Mu Geng, a melee fighter!

It's okay for Alysia, after all, she plays a long-range game, and it doesn't matter to her whether the bugs will self-destruct. But Mu Geng is different. Before knowing the characteristics of this bug, Mu Geng once rushed into the bug group with his sword, wanting to kill a lot of them to show Duanmu Huai his skills.

As a result, when I entered, I was screaming and screaming because of the continuous explosion of insects. I almost ran back in panic.

Is this breeding? So scary?

As a "latecomer member" of the Tribunal, Mu Geng rarely went out to fight with Duan Mu Huai. Most of the time, she stayed in the Tribunal, taking care of Bambi and other little girls. This made Mu Geng very dissatisfied. In her opinion, she might not have the mysterious magic ability of Ann, Mary, or Furlian, but she was at least very capable! She also wanted to let Duan Mu Huai see that she was a devil contractor and she was not just a freeloader!

As a result... reality taught Mu Geng a hard lesson.

As for Duan Mu Huai and Lu Mi Ai? The latter said that he was a technician and had no combat power. He had been sitting on Duan Mu Huai's shoulder and slacking off.

And Duan Mu Huai? He said that he was not interested in the flying system, and the task of saving the world was left to you, girls!

Of course, they were not really slacking off. While Alicia and Mu Geng were destroying the insect swarm, Duan Mu Huai and Lu Mi Ai were strolling on the street, trying to search for traces of survivors.

"No, it seems that this place has been completely destroyed."

Lu Mi Ai stared at the communication terminal in his hand and shook his head.

"The situation is very bad. I suspect their command system may be finished. They are asking for support everywhere, but no order has been issued..."

"The situation is so bad..."

Duanmu Huai also frowned. The Soul Fragment World is a cyclical time flow. Logically speaking, it should have a beginning and an end. Just like a game, when players enter the game, they must enter the prologue first. It doesn't say that you can jump to the final BOSS directly by clicking on the new game.

In such a Soul Fragment World where time flows in a cycle, when I and others come in, they are naturally at the starting point.

But now it seems that... this starting point seems to be no different from the end point?

To be honest, in Duanmu Huai's opinion, this planet seems to be close to extinction.

This is even more difficult than walking out of the shelter and facing the wasteland in Fallout - or it is equivalent to you just walking out of the door of the shelter and encountering a large group of mutants and ghouls carrying rocket launchers and glowing death claws.

And you only have a 10MM pistol in your hand.

Tsk tsk tsk, no matter how crazy the MOD author is, he will not be so inhumane.

"By the way, can you locate the place where the cavalry went? Didn't she say she was going back to report or something?"

"We have already tracked it down. The base has been destroyed. She is currently... oh, she is almost here."

As he spoke, Lumiel turned his head and looked behind him.

At this moment, Duanmu Huai saw a torrent of flames spurting out from behind, sweeping away the surrounding insect swarms. Then, the girl they had just rescued fell from the sky in a mecha and landed in front of them.

"It's great that you are still alive. I thought it was too late."

Seeing that Duanmu Huai and others were fine, the girl was relieved.

"It will be dangerous to stay here. Please follow me to the shelter."

"No problem, lead the way."

Duanmu Huai originally hoped to find someone here to understand the situation, but now it seems that the only person who would talk to him here is this girl. So he didn't say anything more, nodded quickly, and then signaled Alicia and Mu Geng to come back. Then the group followed the mecha girl through the ruins and came to a nearby shelter.

As the mecha girl pressed the switch, everyone took the elevator to the shelter deep underground.

Well, if you think about it carefully, it is understandable. After all, insects can't dig holes. As long as you dig deeper, it is not impossible to avoid the ground attack of the insect swarm.

"Stop!"

Just when everyone arrived at the entrance of the shelter, several soldiers raised their weapons and blocked their way.

"Who are you?"

"I am the 15th Assault Troop AR36988 of the Iron Cavalry Regiment."

In response to the soldier's inquiry, the mecha girl reported her name.

"I am currently carrying out the task of evacuating refugees."

"The 15th Assault Troop?"

Hearing the report of the mecha girl, the other side was obviously shaken.

"How is this possible?"

"The defense fleet has obviously been defeated, why is it... ... "

Duanmu Huai stood behind the mecha girl without saying a word, looking at the soldiers opposite. He found that when these people learned that this mecha girl came from the defeated fleet, they showed not only surprise, but also a sense of panic... Well, this is interesting.

"Who are you?"

One of the soldiers stared at Duanmu Huai and asked, while Duanmu Huai shrugged his shoulders.

"We are travelers who accidentally got involved in this war and are currently looking for a place to take refuge."

"……………………"

Hearing Duanmu Huai's answer, the soldier narrowed his eyes and looked at him for a moment.

"No outsiders are allowed to enter here, you leave!"

After saying that, he was about to close the door, but the mecha girl was very surprised to hear the soldier's answer.

"Her Majesty the Queen once ordered that all survivors of the empire must be sheltered. Do you want to disobey the Queen's order?"

"Tsk... Queen........."

Hearing this, the expressions of the soldiers became more and more ugly, but just when they were about to say something else, a young man came out.

"Let them in."

"But..."

"We also need to know the current situation on the surface."

The young man was not very old, but he seemed to have a high prestige here. After hearing his order, the soldiers, although somewhat unwilling, still put down their weapons and stood aside. The young man walked in front of Duanmu Huai and others and smiled at them.

"Welcome to Shelter No. 37. Let's go in and talk about the specific situation."
