under hope

Chapter 37

The monster in front of him rushed towards the pioneer with lightning speed, completely ignoring the knife and whip that tore its skin and flesh.

"No."

The pioneer quickly retracted the blade, turned off the transformation button, and switched to a stronger close-range sword form to resist the monster's attack.

"Zila——"

The monster's sharp claws scratched the blade, and the harsh sound caused goosebumps all over the pioneers' bodies.

"Zila——"

Another attack hit the blade, the new arm behind it.

If the pioneer hadn't blocked long enough, the subsequent pursuit would have disfigured him.

"Should I say he is a new recruit with potential? A sergeant is a sergeant, even if he turns into a monster"

"This guy is so proficient in using his new arms!"

The pioneer was knocked back several steps by the impact, and the monster did not give him any room to breathe.

"hiss——"

The monster stood upright and let out a long roar, launching rhythmic swings at the pioneers.

First, he struck with his right front paw, and after about a second, he stabbed out with his right long arm again, and the same with the left.

Such a rhythmic offensive locked the pioneer's actions, leaving him in a passive situation.

"Damn it!"

Under this rhythm, the pioneer always dodged to avoid the first blow, and then blocked the belated thrust with his sword.

The monster's thrust every second not only has a large range, but also has high destructive power. Just interrupting the pioneer's thinking.

The monster is slowly forcing the pioneer into a corner.

If this continues, the pioneer will always be exhausted, but the monster in front of him seems to never tire.

This kind of offensive is like Faced with two extraordinary opponents at the same time, such a one-to-many situation is exactly what the Pioneers are struggling with.

"No, if this continues I will be caught to death by it sooner or later."

The Pioneer began to change the direction of retreat, slowly leaving his body out of the small area.

"The heart is its weak point."

The pioneer recited the old man's words over and over in his heart, and at the same time glanced at the glove given by the old man on his left hand. The special short blade on the glove can break the monster's skin more easily, but in order to make this action easier , he needs to put the monster into a short-term vulnerability state

"By the way, the rivet gun, you can use a firearm to poke holes in it!"

The pioneer quickly sheathed his sword and slowly changed his actions to sideways dodging the two attacks.

"If I jump to distance myself, it will definitely swoop in pursuit, take advantage of that moment"

"It has never seen me use a rivet gun since it was a human, so this is a surprise for it."

Although he had made a plan in his mind, it was still a bit difficult to actually take action.

The monster's rhythmic attacks were still chasing after him, so he had to create an opportunity to distance himself first.

"Yes, I don’t know if it can still be remembered."

The pioneer had an idea in his mind, but he was a little unsure, but he still felt it was worth a try.

The monster's attack rhythm gradually became familiar to him, and now he is able to hide easily, but this only consumes his physical strength.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to offend."

The pioneer moved to the woman's body, grabbed the swan brooch and threw it towards the monster. The small brooch hit the hard skin, and the crisp impact sound attracted the monster's attention.

"Wu... Wu... Wu..."

After staring at the brooch that fell on the ground for a while, the monster suddenly held its head in pain and let out a vague roar.

"Can you still retain a trace of consciousness?"

The pioneer was undoubtedly shocked by this result, but he didn't have much time left. He quickly distanced himself from the monster.

"Okay, come here..."

The pioneer took a deep breath and slowly moved his right hand back.

He held the handle of the gun tightly, and his index finger was pressed on the trigger.

""Uh...uh...uh" a human groan came from the monster's mouth, and another pair of arms grew on its body, this time on its waist.

The monster tore its head with the claws on its back, and forcibly cut off its scalp. It was torn off.

There was still a human skull inside, but it had become deformed.

The monster let out a piercing scream, and the swan brooch on the ground was crushed by it, and the last bit of humanity disappeared.

The monster's scalp was turned out, with The white and turbid skin covered half of his face like a hijab, with only the ferocious fangs exposed. The monster's changes made the pioneer feel sick, but the plan still went ahead, and he had to try his best to calm his surging stomach.

Sure enough, it didn't. To his surprise, the monster immediately flew towards him without any warning.

"Now..."

The pioneer pulled out the rivet gun from behind and pressed the trigger decisively.

"With a bang, the spiral-headed iron nail was driven into the monster's head from the lower jaw.

The impact caused by the transformation caused the monster's entire upper body to lean back, exposing its defenseless chest.

"Take it directly from the ventricle."

The pioneer's left hand stabbed hard at the monster's left chest. The special short blade cut through the hard skin and went straight to the inside of the monster.

He got it!

The monster's body trembled violently, and all the newly grown arms around his waist trembled. stabbed into the leg of the pioneer

"It's over, visceral attack!"

The Pioneer shouted in his heart the name of the operation he had just chosen, and struggled to take out the warm heart.

The monster lost all signs of life in an instant, and collapsed weakly on the ground.

The Pioneer crushed the twisted internal organs. , without having time to put away the rivet gun, he hurried towards the trampled swan brooch.

"I remember, he mentioned 'family' earlier’…"

The pioneer held the brooch fragment in his hand and hurriedly turned around to look for something in the pile of broken clothes.

These were the remnants of the man's clothes that were torn when he transformed. If what he was thinking was correct...

In the end, he found an intact point swan brooch in a pocket, which was consistent with the one worn by the female corpse before.

"Dad went out to work and hasn't come back yet. Mom went to look for him and didn't come back either..."

The little girl's crying voice sounded in his mind, and he felt a little dazed for a moment.

"Dad...Mom...come back soon..."

The little girl's lonely back appeared in front of his eyes.

Now, her mother has become a cold corpse, and her father...

The pioneer carefully wrapped the two brooches with pieces of clothing, Then he put away the rivet gun and returned the same way.

On the way back, he was still hesitating whether to tell the little girl the truth.

If he told her, she would go crazy at such a young age.

But if he didn't tell her, , what should the little girl do? Have she been waiting at home?

Without her parents, the supply at home has become a problem. The food stored in the house will be exhausted one day, and the young children cannot cook.

Maybe he can adopt the little girl , just let her live in the workshop. Ella would not be a heartless person.

He could imagine the little girl doing simple housework in the workshop. He would tell her the truth when she grows up.

"That might not be so bad."

The pioneer couldn't help but smile, and his mood improved slightly.

The night was really long, and he had experienced a lot tonight, but the sky was not bright at all, and even the moon was hidden.

Grandma said that on the day of the full moon, Night is the day with the best luck, while a moonless night symbolizes bad luck.

There is rarely a time when the moon is missing in the Theocracy's sky, and most of the time there is a crescent-shaped moon hanging in the sky. We are about to arrive at the little girl's home, Looking from a distance, he did not see the light.

He quickened his pace and soon turned into a trot.

""Dong dong dong"

He knocked on the window anxiously, but there was no response from inside.

Maybe he just turned off the light by the window, but the light was still on inside, maybe she just fell asleep.

The pioneer comforted his nervous mood, He kept soothing his rapidly beating heart.

However, he suddenly discovered that the door next to him was ajar.

She went out? Why? Did she go to find her parents?

The pioneer's head seemed to have received a heavy blow, and his whole body Everyone was trembling.

There was blood in front of the door, it was red, and it extended into the small alley opposite the house.

"Will not."

The pioneer pulled out his weapon and followed the blood trail step by step towards the depths of the alley.

He had already heard the sound of the sand beast chewing.

Maybe it was just chewing something else.

The pioneer thought so.

The blade stabbed the sand beast hard The back of the body then pierced the mouth of the sand beast.

He cut the body of the sand beast expressionlessly until the body parts were too small to be cut.

The pioneer picked up the blood-stained swan brooch on the ground and took it Wrapped together with the other two.

There was warm liquid flowing on his cheek. In the cold night, the liquid quickly became cold again.

The pioneer had not cried for a long time, but the sight in front of him made him cry. He felt hopeless and sad.

If even the children had lost hope of survival, what was the point of living for them?

"Welcome back, Mr. Pioneer."

The pioneer returned to the workshop in despair, and Miss Ella enthusiastically gave him a glass of water.

The pioneer did not pay attention to Miss Ella, but directly placed the box with the moon mark on the workbench.

"Great, with this I can get on with my work."

Ms. Ella was very happy. She held the box in both hands and quickly used the wheelchair to go up to the second floor.

The pioneer fell down on the sofa. Only in his dreams, he could still maintain some hope.

"Mr. Pioneer?"

Miss Ella put the cup aside and tilted her head in confusion.

The pioneer seemed to have fallen asleep and was snoring slightly.

"Oops, they're all hurt."

Miss Ella discovered the blood oozing from the Pioneer's legs and activated the emergency medical mode.

In order not to wake up the Pioneer, Miss Ella deliberately reduced the force.

After everything was settled, Miss Ella gently stroked the Pioneer again. The hair of the pioneers was given a devout prayer

"May you find your own peaceful place in your dreams."
