Just a magical girl who picks up trash

"How's the communication going with Tianta City, Demon Realm, and the Scavengers Alliance?"

It had not been long since the last continental conference, and the afterglow of the ruins had not yet completely dissipated. However, at this moment, an invitation to cooperate was suddenly extended to the three major forces. In this situation, if it were before, an emerging force like Tianyu City would naturally not be qualified to say so, but after passing through the ruins, it was obvious that many people's ideas had undoubtedly changed.

During the visit to the ruins, Tianyu City not only showed its strong individual strength and the unrivaled Shumagia army, but also its connections with the Mirror Organization, the Demon Realm Twin Towers, and Tianta City (Luo Liao). This was enough to make many people feel wary, not to mention that it was also the biggest winner of the ruins. Although many forces did not say anything on the surface, the so-called "fifth force" had already been crowned on Tianyu City.

"It's been released. Besides the Mirror Organization responding and promising full cooperation, everything else..."

Tian Ling's words obviously made Zeya hesitate, but after a pause, he still gave an honest answer:

"Tianta City has rejected the cooperation. The Demon Realm seems to be divided into two factions. Those led by my sister's contractor, Miss Shi Lei, have agreed to join forces, but the other faction wants to refuse, saying, 'The Demon Realm is behind a barrier and isn't afraid of the so-called silver.' As for the Scavengers' Alliance... because it's a relatively disorganized organization and its nature is somewhat different from Tianyu City's 'mercenary' mechanism, it's currently impossible to accurately confirm their intentions. However, many scavenger teams have already come to Tianyu City to register as mercenaries!"

While reporting on various situations, even if they were just looking through the transparent window at the endless stream of people in Tianyu City below, Tianling and Zeya could clearly see that more scavengers than usual were pouring in from the outside, and some were leaving Tianyu City in a hurry, obviously to carry out their missions.

The management model of Tianyu City itself is inspired by scavengers, but compared to scavengers' scavenging and selling, it is more formal. Tianyu City distributes resource collection tasks, and scavengers (mercenaries) can go and complete them after accepting them. Of course, they can also sell materials that have not been accepted for tasks directly in the mercenary hall, and Tianyu City will still accept them, but the price is obviously lower than that of mercenary tasks.

It is by relying on this system that many scavengers have been recruited to become mercenaries in the past few years. After all, the scavengers and mercenaries have similar physical constitutions and there is no conflict. In addition, because of the existence of the Kamen Rider system, scavengers have a fixed source of "combat resources" and do not need to travel thousands of miles to the Demon Realm or Tianta City to buy them at high prices. Instead, the two professions have formed a kind of stealth tacit understanding.

Therefore, the Scavengers Alliance undoubtedly adopted an attitude of acquiescence and even some support for this point, which invisibly also allowed Tianyu City's status to rise again.

Of course, Tianyu City’s smooth sailing is obviously seen by outsiders. However, in fact, only the insiders know their own business. It is obvious that the current situation of Tianyu City is not as good as outsiders imagine!

First of all, Tianyu City is xenophobic... Yes, this is the point!

Because Tianyu City was originally founded around Yuhuan, and only Rangers and Guardians are allowed to enter the inner city, even if some high-level mercenaries enter by chance, their actions will be subject to various restrictions. In addition, Tianyu City's own army is the "Xiumajia", which directly eliminates the possibility of other forces planting spies.

Therefore, although Tianyu City seems to be very powerful in its external display, in fact, in the eyes of various forces, it is undoubtedly an "orphan" existence. Without any force to unite with it, it is undoubtedly an act of self-destruction in the eyes of outsiders.

"There's no need to bother with the Scavengers Alliance for now. After all, the Scavengers' Free Action Alliance can't interfere too much, so we just need to maintain the status quo. The scavengers will come sooner or later."

The Scavengers' Alliance is a free organization, and blind cooperation is obviously not advisable. Therefore, after consulting Yuyuan, Tianling directly adopted a laissez-faire attitude. Anyway, as long as the scavengers still need the Kamen Rider system and magic series equipment provided by their Tianyu City, then registering as mercenaries is undoubtedly a matter of sooner or later.

Besides, the Scavengers Alliance is located in the desert. Now that silver has begun to spread everywhere, cooperation... is a matter of time!

"There's no need to worry about the Mirror Organization. After all, whether it's Yu or that Zero, they're both on our side for now. Plus, our goals and intentions are the same, so there's no problem considering them allies for now!"

With Yu and Ling's suppression, there is no need to worry even if some guys have evil intentions. After all, the power of those rangers and guardians comes from Yu's mirror system. If it really doesn't work... just recycle it!

"There's no good solution for the Demon Realm right now. After all, a thousand years have passed. It's not surprising that the new generation of magicians have long forgotten the past. We can just leave those guys to Shi Lei and the others. We don't need to worry too much!"

After all, he has lived for thousands of years. If he can't handle a few young people... Tian Ling might even suspect that his sister has made a mistake in choosing the right person!

"The most troublesome thing is... Tianta City!"

When he said this, even Tian Ling couldn't help but sigh for a while, and then he said in a different tone from his previous analysis, with a complaining tone:

"With all the troubles my sister and the others have caused, let alone joining forces with Tianta City, they've already been quite restrained by not taking advantage of the chaos to attack Tianyu City!"

"..."

Zeya was holding on to something while complaining, but in fact, what she was thinking in her heart... was the same as Tianling's!

125. Trouble in the Demon Realm

Isn't that right? A trip to the ruins, not to mention prying away one of the other side's tower masters... Well, although Tianta City may not know this because Luo Liao turned purple, and they may have thought Luo Liao was purged for betrayal, this account obviously needs to be recorded in Tianyu City.

Not to mention that the opponent's Ox Tower was destroyed, the Tiger Tower was seriously injured, and the team led by the master of the Rat Tower was repelled in the ruins. It was a slap in the face to Tianta City. It can be said that there is a relationship of "deep hatred". It would be strange if they would pay attention to you if you talk about cooperation.

Tian Ling had no doubt about this. If it wasn't information that was sent, but Xu Magia or someone else was sent, the other party would probably use it as a warning to others!

"...Okay, let's ignore Tianta City for now. There's nothing worth winning over there anyway!"

Although the Twelve Towers of Tianta possess the highest technological achievements of the continent and control the continent's only satellite sky network, they are undoubtedly important in terms of strength and intelligence, but Tianta City obviously does not care much about these.

After all, satellites... they have them and they are more advanced than those in Tianta City!

Mechanical troops? Sorry, let me know about the Shumagia Legion!

Advanced weapons? Kamen Rider belt plus the Magic Leaf World Belka-style magic device will teach you how to behave in minutes!

Even in terms of top combat power, not to mention Yu Huan and the other non-humans like Yu, even Xiao Ya, Cai Xiaolin, Feng Qianxue and others who are pure humans are obviously enough to rival the tower master-level figures in Tianta City.

In this case, although Tian Ling felt somewhat helpless because of the trouble caused by her sister, she actually did not care too much about Tianta City's refusal to cooperate:

"Forget it. Keep a close eye on the Hermit Village of the Scavenger Alliance and the Demon Realm. If Tianta City wants to fly solo, let them go. We won't care!"

Originally, the Silver Invasion was a continental disaster. Since the other party was unwilling to unite, Tianyu City would naturally not force it. After all, they were not saviors in the name of saving the world. On the contrary, whether it was Yu as the leader of the Mirror Organization or Yu Huan as the city of Tianyu City, they were both villains and "demon kings"!

"I see... there's one more thing!"

Before leaving, Yu Yuan handed over the full authority of Tianyu City to Tianling and Zeya. Therefore, the two of them had all the decision-making power in Tianyu City. However, Zeya still adhered to the fact that as a (younger generation) artificial intelligence, everything should be under the jurisdiction of Tianling. Therefore, after thinking for a while, he continued to report:

"After establishing contact with the patrollers in the Demon Realm, I (the system) included the Demon Realm in our surveillance range. And just a few days ago, we discovered that some magicians were heading towards the depths of the Demon Realm, and their behavior was suspicious!"

Such words attracted Tian Ling's attention, and he frowned slightly and asked:

"Which side?"

"The opposition!"

The so-called opposition is naturally against forming an alliance with Tianyu City, just like the forces that want to exist independently in Tianta City. Tian Ling naturally did not dare to neglect Zeya's words and immediately said:

"Tell me more specifically!"

"Yes……"

They are all artificial intelligence, so the specific explanation naturally does not take too long. After the information sharing was completed in less than a few seconds, Tian Ling opened his eyes, and a hint of thought flashed in his illusory eyes.

I didn't expect that group of opponents were so courageous. Even in this dangerous situation of the Silver Invasion, they were still thinking about seizing power and usurping the throne... Lin Hai, who secretly sent people to the Demon Realm, knew without a doubt that they had no good intentions. After thinking for a moment, Tian Lingzi asked again:

"Can you find out what's deep in the Demon Realm?"

The Demon Realm is an existence similar to an oasis in the desert, but its area is obviously much larger than an oasis.

When Yu Huan left, the Demon Realm still retained a very large area of ​​territory because the Mirror Destruction Day had just begun. Before leaving, in order to make Shi Lei and others live a better life, Yu Huan simply exhausted all his strength at that time to set up a coverage area that was large enough to expand to the level of a continent. Therefore, if 80% of the entire continent is ruins, then the Demon Realm must occupy at least 10% of the remaining 20%.

It is precisely because of such superior resources and environment that the Demon Realm, which only has magical civilization, is qualified to compete with Tianta City. This is not only because of the existence of the shield that Tianta City cannot analyze, but also because the Demon Realm's rich resources have nurtured many powerful magicians.

The protective shield of the Demon Realm was originally set up by Yu Huan. Although it was obviously very difficult for Zeya to invade at the beginning, this matter was obviously no longer a problem with Yu Huan's return. Therefore, with Yu Huan's authorization, Zeya immediately launched a full-scale search of the Demon Realm. Not only did he figure out the locations of the twelve constellation towers, he even analyzed the divisions between the various forces in the Demon Realm early on.

The mages in the Mage Tower of the Demon Realm have always been proud of the safety and superiority of the Demon Realm, so they don't know when they developed a certain arrogant temperament. However, they didn't know that their every move had already fallen under the eyes of Tianyu City some time ago.

If we look at the entire Demon Realm, the only place that has not yet been observed by Zeya is probably the depths of a large forest located directly south of the Demon Realm... Perhaps because of the lush vegetation or the magnetic field, the signal in that corner called the depths of the Demon Realm is not stable, so even Zeya has obviously not been able to thoroughly explore it.

Of course, this does not mean that Zeya has relaxed its vigilance. In fact, it has never given up observing it. Although the signal will be interfered with once it reaches the depths of the Demon Realm, Zeya, as the strongest satellite of Tianyu City, has finally succeeded in obtaining information from the depths of the Demon Realm after several days and nights of struggle.

When Tian Ling asked her, she answered without hesitation:

"After comparing and analyzing the footage captured by satellite, we determined that the hermits might be a race similar to the hermits in the Scavenger Alliance. After analyzing their characteristics and integrating the existing data, we finally came to a conclusion about them!"

As he said this, Zeya waved his hand and a curtain of light instantly appeared before him. However, the several seemingly strong figures revealed in it made Tian Ling startled.

"This is……"

126. Surrounded

"Captain Zhao Tian, ​​I'm extending a joint invitation to you out of good intentions. If you're not happy about it, fine. But where are you planning to go in the middle of the night?"

In the dark night sky, the light of the searchlight slanted above the tent swayed and swept across the open space in front from time to time. However, on the open space that should have been quiet at night, hundreds of people had gathered there at some point.

Circle after circle of people dressed as scavengers surrounded a man and a woman. Under the flickering light, Zhao Tian's serious face and Xia Yu's expressionless face were revealed. At this moment, the two were wearing black and white armor, holding weapons and looking vigilantly at the people surrounding them.

In the center of the crowd, Liu Feng stood there with a smile on his face, looking at Zhao Tian in front of him with a warm gaze. His casual tone seemed as if he was just chatting with Zhao Tian. However, at this moment, it was clearly seen that the eyes of both Zhao Tian and Xia Yu looking at him and the people behind him no longer had the slightest friendliness, but were instead filled with strong... hostility!

"I should be the one asking you this question!"

Facing Liu Feng, Zhao Tian spoke in a serious and subdued tone.

"Captain Liu Feng, do you...know what you are doing?"

Originally, he thought that Liu Feng had invited him, and if she didn't want to, the other party would obviously not force her, so he just needed to leave and there would be no problem. However, who would have thought that when he was resting at night, he was suddenly awakened by Xia Yu, and before he could react, Xia Yu dragged him out of the tent and hid in a secret corner.

Then, at that moment, Zhao Tian saw... an unbelievable scene!

Figures were wandering between tents one after another, each holding an unknown syringe-like object in their hands, which they were injecting in and out... Although Zhao Tian obviously didn't know what that thing was, he obviously recognized that those people were Liu Feng's men.

What is the other party doing?

Zhao Tian didn't know, and of course, he didn't care. After confirming that the other party seemed to have bad intentions, Zhao Tian didn't want to cause trouble after all, as he had just lost a teammate. He turned around and was about to leave, but suddenly, the surrounding searchlights just happened to shine on a small group of Liu Feng's men heading towards his tent. At that moment, Zhao Tian clearly saw...

The somewhat ferocious face with silvery white markings and the thing in his hand that he originally thought was a syringe, turned out to be not a syringe at all, but a silvery white bug shaped like a pinhole?

At this moment, because Zheng was coming towards the tent, Zhao Tian could clearly see that the silver-white insect that looked like a syringe was not a dead thing, but was jumping around and shaking in the hands of those people from time to time. It would even grab its dense claws into the fingers of those people who were pinching them. At the same time, after this penetration, the faces of those people who could be clearly seen suddenly showed an expression of enjoyment, and the silver-white markings on their bodies also began to increase little by little.

"..."

Such a strange scene, Zhao Tian obviously realized what the other party was doing unless he was stupid... They were actually actively injecting the survivors in the camp with that silver liquid, so that they would also be infected with silver disease?!

Shocked, a chill spread through his heart. Without a second thought, Zhao Tian was ready to take Xia Yu away. However, he was stopped by the people around him after just two steps.

Then, in the face of Liu Feng's question, Zhao Tian obviously couldn't hold back his anger and asked:

"Do you know what that is? You actually took the initiative to get involved. Do you want to die?!"

At this moment, the warm smile on Liu Feng's face has not changed at all. However, if there is one thing that is different from daytime, it is probably that the other person's skin is very white, very white, especially white... It is completely different from the whiteness of humans, and it can even reflect some light under the light.

That’s right, silvery-white light!

"What to do? Um... become stronger, become immortal, and... does sharing this heaven-sent opportunity count?"

There was even a hint of silver in his eyes. Liu Feng, who had obviously heard what Zhao Tian was saying, not only did he not care at all, but he stretched out his hand in a somewhat intoxicated manner, casually scratched his fingertips and looked at the silver-white "blood" that flowed out from them. He responded with a smile and said:

"Silver disease... isn't a bad thing, Captain Zhao Tian. Ever since I was infected with it, I no longer know what hunger is. Furthermore, I now possess powers that rival those of psychics and magicians. This isn't a disease, but an opportunity God has given us ordinary people... Do you understand?!"

The benefits of silver were introduced with a cheerful smile. Although Zhao Tian wanted to refute it, he obviously had nothing to say... He had obviously witnessed the horror of silver. It could devour everything, whether it was energy or matter. Both supernatural powers and magical attacks were completely ineffective. Not only that, the most important thing was that it could transform everything into its own power through devouring. It was undoubtedly an almost invincible existence.

During his escape, Zhaotian also saw many scavengers or psychics from other cities. Magicians attacked the silver, but in the end, all of them became food for the silver. Although it was only a few days, it was obvious that the silver had become a psychological shadow for him.

At this moment, Zhao Tian frowned as he looked at Liu Feng who suddenly started showing off his silver in front of him. Just as he was about to say something, Xia Yu behind him gently tugged at his sleeve and suddenly said:

"They...are already dead!"

"what?!"

The sudden words not only made Zhao Tian stunned, but even Liu Feng seemed to look at Xia Yu at this moment. However, the moment he saw the bracelet on Xia Yu's wrist, his expression changed slightly.

He... No, it was just the Silver clone that had just been corroded. It was considered the lowest level existence, so it was not qualified to share Silver's memories. But despite this, when he saw the twin ponytail bracelet on Xia Yu's wrist, he still felt... the feeling as if he had encountered a natural enemy!

127. Get started

There are only two outcomes for those who are swallowed by silver. One is to completely turn into the nutrients of silver, and be diluted into the same existence like those liquids. The other is to retain one's own memories, personality, thoughts and everything else, but without even realizing that the self is no longer the real person, but an existence mimicked by silver as a clone.

It is obvious that Liu Feng is in this form at the moment, just like the brave man that Yu Huan once faced. Both mentally and consciously, he always thought that he had resisted the erosion of silver and successfully controlled this mysterious power. Little did he know that he had already been under the control of the other party... No, it should be said that he has become a part of the other party!

Zhao Tian and Xia Yu naturally didn't know this, but at this moment, just looking at Liu Feng and the scavengers around them was enough to make them feel the danger. Zhao Tian immediately winked at Xia Yu, wanting her to take the opportunity to escape before she made a move. Xia Yu naturally received this look, but she ignored it. Instead, after a moment of silence, she suddenly said this earth-shattering statement:

"These people... are already dead!"

Dead? What dead? Liu Feng and the others? But they were clearly standing in front of him, still conscious. How could they be dead?

At this moment, not only Zhao Tian was puzzled by what Xia Yu said, but even Liu Feng and others standing in front of the two of them felt puzzled at this moment. Just when Liu Feng turned his head and wanted to laugh at Xia Yu, he felt the power suddenly rising from the other party, and a flash of fear suddenly flashed in his eyes.

Of course, that was not the fear he felt when he saw Xia Yu. In fact, he didn't know Xia Yu at all, so it was impossible for him to have such an emotion. However, the moment he saw the other person, he suddenly felt this kind of palpitations in his heart.

What's going on? How could this happen? Who is she? Why does just looking at her fill me with such intense fear, even making me want to turn and run?!

Thoughts like these flashed through his mind in an instant, but before Liu Feng and others could think about it, Xia Yu suddenly moved!

"Shua~~~"

Daggers were instantly thrown out of her hands like afterimages, and a green aura rose from the ground in the blink of an eye. Just as the daggers flew out of her hands, a huge amount of dust filled the entire place under the entanglement of the wind, just blocking everyone's sight.

"They're trying to run, stop them!"

The sudden rise of dust immediately interrupted Liu Feng's original thoughts. At a command, the scavengers around him decisively took out their weapons at this moment... Because they were in a defensive state, they naturally could not use guns, because this would accidentally hurt their companions. Therefore, with various melee weapons in their hands, everyone also gathered towards the center little by little.

Because they were surrounded, if Zhao Tian and Xia Yu really wanted to break out, they would have to pass through a line of defense and then find a breakthrough from there. Therefore, after making this clear, they only needed to surround them little by little. Unless the opponent could fly, they would eventually become a turtle in a jar.

As for counterattack? That obviously doesn't exist!

After all, although they have no idea about the power of silver, it is obvious that these people suffering from "silver disease" now have some of the characteristics of silver. One of them is that they can devour all the substances and attacks close to their bodies to replenish themselves. In this case, they don't even need to make any defensive postures, they only need to attack forward and they are immortal.

On the other hand, the opponent does not need to cause much damage to the other party. In fact, as long as the silver on the body touches the opponent, the power of the silver will quickly infect the opponent in an instant, causing the opponent to suffer from the same disease.

The immortality, the power to assimilate everything, and the ability to devour everything with a single touch made Liu Feng and his companions undoubtedly invincible. With this confidence, he clearly didn't believe the other party could break out of the heavy encirclement. If they only had a tiny bit of silver on them...

"Paizi~~"

what sound?

“Sizzle~Sizzle~”

Something was making a sound, like the sound of an insect or the buzzing of a bee, but at this moment it suddenly rang in everyone's ears. For a moment, Liu Feng almost subconsciously showed a defensive expression, but he didn't even notice that a silver-white light seemed to flash in his eyes, and the next second, the alertness turned into a look of relief.
