I, who was killing God, became a knife crusher

Diao Yue Liyin began to explain.

"Alice, I understand. So these mechanical life forms don't have any souls at all. They are just monsters that give experience points, right?! If we want to use a persuasion strategy, we need someone at least at the level of a Demon King Captain to persuade them!"

Alice said excitedly.

She didn't like taking someone's life, but after Tiao Yue Liyin's explanation, her guilt disappeared.

After all, a simple mechanical body that does not even have self-awareness cannot be called life.

"Captain Demon King... Never mind. You can understand it this way."

She seemed to be a little speechless about Tendo Alice's choice of words, but after a moment of silence, Tsuchiya Rion decided not to dwell on the issue.

After all, getting involved in this topic always feels like being dragged into the quagmire.

…………

Deep in the ruins.

"Report your ammunition quantity."

Meigan Ningliu, whose dragon-embroidered jacket was stained with dust and coagulated blood, spoke with a slightly tired look.

"Less than two base loads of ammunition, two full magazines, three empty magazines, and two hundred and thirty rounds of loose ammunition that have yet to be loaded."

Kadotate Karin, holding a magazine loaded with bullets, answered.

"I don't have much ammunition with me. After all, the pistol isn't very powerful. I also have three magazines and thirteen sets of explosives."

Murokasa Akane answered.

"I'm down to one base of ammunition, only three magazines left."

Asuna Ichikase answered.

"Tsk, why don't you bring more?"

Meigan Ningliu complained with a headache.

"Minister Xiao, you are being heartless when you say that. I carried six basic loads of ammunition, which is 1,800 rounds. Hua Lin only brought three. Who told me that I was armed with a rifle and she was a sniper? You can't blame me for my fast shooting. Don't you see how many I killed when those armed robots came rushing over?"

Ichinose Asuna retorted.

"Sorry for the trouble. Akane, get ready for the explosion. Asuna, don't shoot and get involved in the battle for now. From now on, Karin will be the one to deal with the enemy. We'll rest here for half an hour."

Mei Gan Ning opened her mouth and gave orders.

"Yes."

Kadotate Karin nodded, and Murokasa Akane took out explosives from her suitcase to set up a counter-trap.

This time, it wasn't that they brought little ammunition. It was because they were fighting deep in the ruins, and Tiao Yue Liyin had reminded the four of them in advance to be prepared for battle, so the ammunition they brought was basically two to three times as much as usual.

But they never expected that Red-Eye Alice would start fighting as soon as they met and directly summon the mechanical frenzy. No matter how many bullets they brought, they would be a drop in the bucket.

Rather, it was only because the four members of the C&C maid club had special skills that they were able to survive a mechanical frenzy of this magnitude.

If this happened to an ordinary student, his halo would have been shattered countless times.

"Hey, little minister, there's no need to be so sad. I have a feeling that the teacher will come to rescue us. Just hold on a little bit, and everything will be fine when he comes."

Ichinose Asuna spoke to comfort Mikan Ningliu.

"We have to hold out until he finds us. We'll continue to look for a base from which we can quickly evacuate. We don't have enough ammunition to fight a defensive battle. Once we are discovered, we'll have to kill the sentries and move to another position."

The opening of the meganine distillation is arranged.

She still believed in Ichinose Asuna's intuition, but she couldn't just sit comfortably on the ground and wait for Moyin's rescue.

If he really did that, I guess Moyin would have no choice but to come and collect his body.

Help is available, but not now.

Rather than leaving everything to fate, she prefers to take control of her own destiny.

"The explosives have been set. The shock wave of the explosion can buy us twenty seconds to evacuate. I have placed explosives at both entrances. We can exit from either side, so it will be forty seconds."

Murokasa Akane, who had just returned, answered.

"Well, you still can't contact Liyin?"

Nero nodded and asked randomly.

"The signal in the entire area was blocked by a strong jammer, so we were unable to make effective contact. We may have only sent noise."

"But the Millennium Science Academy is armed with President Li Yin's ARMS security robots, except for the students. It is unrealistic to rely on the Millennium Science Academy's own strength to rescue us."

"Except for our C&C maid department, the students' fighting power is not strong. Most of the students who come to our Millennium Science Academy are from the engineering department. Unlike Gehenna, whose school style is tough and whose students' fighting power is also strong, the real rescue may have to wait until Xia Lai's teacher brings people here."

Murokasa Akane took a sip of water to moisten her dry throat, and then continued her analysis.

"It takes at least two hours to drive here from Xialai. Even if the teacher learned about Qiannian's situation on the way and immediately launched a rescue operation at Qiannian Science Academy, it would take at least eight hours for them to contact us. This is also based on the fact that we are extremely lucky and soon encounter them in the ruins, and that the teacher and enough combat forces to rescue them happened to be in Xialai today and did not go out..."

"But given the current situation in Chiptos, most of Xialai's combat forces have been sent out to support local law and order. In summary, I think we should still act based on holding out for one day. After all, there are so many mechanical life forms in the ruins. Even if the teacher enters the ruins, he will be hindered and it will be difficult for him to find us in the first place."

"I don't think the teacher will let us wait that long."

Ichinose Asuna spoke.

"Your intuition is a good thing, but we should still fight according to Akane's analysis. If the teacher finds us sooner, consider it luck. If he doesn't, then we were planning to hold out longer anyway."

Mei Gan Ningliu spoke up.

"Minister, how are your injuries?"

Murokasa Akane asked.

"The bleeding has stopped. It's okay. You'll recover after a short rest."

Mei Gan Ningliu answered casually.

"I'm sorry... It was all because of my mistake that you got hurt while trying to protect me."

Murokasa Akane said with great guilt.

"Humph, if that kind of highly maneuverable mechanical lifeform attacks any of us, we'll all get hurt. It's better to use you as bait so that I can free my hands to kill it. If it faces me, it might be able to dodge my attack."

"I'll recover after eating something and resting for a while. The only problem now is that Asuna and I have almost run out of ammunition. Although I have more ammunition than her, it can only sustain four encounters at most."

Meigan Ningliu waved his hand, then took out a chocolate bar, bit off a piece and started chewing.

"Hmm? Where's Asuna?"

After loading her magazine, Kadotate Karin looked up and saw that there was one less person nearby, and asked.

"Ah... Asuna-senpai disappeared again..."

Murokasa Akane held her forehead with her hand due to a headache.

Ichinose Asuna is the most elusive maid in the C&C maid club. She cannot be commanded by anyone and always does what she wants.

Although she was able to complete every mission perfectly based on her incredibly accurate intuition, no one could complain about her behavior.

"That girl!!! I'm going to beat her up when I get back!"

Mei Gan Ning swore with gritted teeth.

In this situation! How dare Ichinose Asuna disappear for her?!

"How horrible, how horrible, how cruel. My little minister, I just went to collect some weapons and ammunition, and you complained that I didn't have much ammunition. I went out to pick up some corpses and you beat me up again. What do you want from me?"

With two rifles hanging on her shoulders and several matching magazines on her body, Asuna Ichinose returned to the crowd from one side of the passage.

"Your behavior is very dangerous. Most of the mechanical life forms we killed before were in groups. Once we are discovered..."

Mei Gan Ningliu suppressed her anger and scolded.

Picking up corpses can indeed replenish ammunition in the current situation, but the problem is that there are too many mechanical life forms, and their combat awareness is similar to that of a swarm of bees. When one individual is attacked, all individuals will quickly come to support and form an encirclement.

Therefore, once engaged in battle, they have to immediately find a way to break through the enemy's encirclement, which makes every minute and every second very precious, and there is no time to recover the enemy's ammunition.

"Then I will abandon you and run away by myself. After all, Minister Xiao knows my ability to escape. You don't know where I am, and these mechanical life forms are even less likely to know where I am. By then, maybe I can meet the teacher alone and have a wonderful encounter on the battlefield."

"Don't be ridiculous. If you run into a highly maneuverable machine like the one that attacked Zhu Yin, even you will get hurt. If you get hurt and have no one to cover you, you can only wait for your aura to break."

Mei Gan Ning Liu said with a gloomy face.

Ichinose Asuna is not as heartless as she appears to be.

In fact, her so-called abandoning the others and running away if she was discovered can be directly seen as her intention to use her as bait after being discovered to lure most of the mechanical life forms away from this area, so as to increase the safety of the hidden resting point where they are now.

Because of this, Meigan Ningliu couldn't scold her harshly, because the smiling girl in front of her actually wanted to leave the chance of survival to the three of them.

"That can't be helped. I feel uneasy without weapons and ammunition. If I empty the last magazine, I will be completely unable to protect myself. It will be even more dangerous to face that highly maneuverable mechanical life form."

Ichinose Asuna said with a smile.

"Can't you just trust us?"

Facing Ichinose Asuna's attitude, Mikan Ningliu asked with gritted teeth.

"Of course I want to believe you, Minister Xiao and Zhu Yin, but the problem is that the enemy's number is enough to cause a qualitative change. We are too few in number, and if we don't do anything, we will definitely run out of bullets."

"Don't worry, I have a feeling I won't die in today's mission, but I have to do something."

Ichinose Asuna spoke to comfort her.

"I can hear the sound of the reconnaissance unit. Prepare to evacuate. They will find us in less than twenty minutes."

Kadodatsu Karin interrupted the quarrel between Ichinose Asuna and Mikan Ningliu and gave a reminder.

Mikan Ningliu and Ichinose Asuna closed their mouths at the same time.

Then, Ichinose Asuna handed one of the rifles and three magazines to Mikan Ningliu, apparently indicating that she should use these picked up weapons first.

After all, these picked up weapons are not the weapons they are most comfortable with.

She was originally using a rifle, so it wouldn't be affected too much, but her combat effectiveness would still decline a little.

As for Zhu Yin, she had no use for this kind of automatic rifle, so she just picked up two.

After using the Meganin distillation, you can also throw away the bullets you picked up to reduce the weight.

ten minutes later.

There was a huge explosion in the passage at the rear, and Meigan Ningliu and the other three quickly ran towards the exit on the other side.

At this time, the sound of the explosion also attracted the attention of the mechanical life forms near the entrance of the passage, and all of them immediately rushed towards the entrance of the passage.
