About becoming a magical girl

"Is that delicious..."

"It's okay... After becoming an agent, I'm used to eating sweets, so it's not bad."

"No, I mean...wouldn't you feel nauseous if you eat at such a time?"

"This..."

Evenier glanced at the chocolate in his hand.

"Just get used to it, maybe one day, you will get used to it too."

"'One day later'..."

How far is that day?Xue Nai couldn't wait that long.

Xue Nai squeezed her palms tightly, her eyes fell on the internal organs and blood stains piled up under the table beside her, and she felt short of breath for a while.

She closed her eyes tightly, forcing herself to look away.

Finally mustering up the courage, she stretched out her hand and pointed to the chocolate on Evenier's mouth.

"Naoko..."

Evenier stuffed the second piece of chocolate into his mouth and looked at Xue Nai.

"what happened?"

"I want to eat too……"

"what?"

Evenier was slightly surprised.

But she smiled immediately, and still took out a piece of chocolate and put it in Xue Nai's palm.

Then, while biting the chocolate bar, she watched Xue Nai tear open the package of the chocolate with great interest, stared at the chocolate for a long time, swallowed heavily, and then opened her mouth tremblingly, He stuffed half of it into his mouth in one breath.

creak-

Xue Nai crushed the chocolate bar vigorously with her teeth, she closed her eyes tightly, chewed hard a few times with a small white face, and then swallowed it in one gulp.

She clenched her palms tightly and lowered her head, as if she was fighting something.

After a while, Xue Nai raised her head.

"I did it……"

After doing it, I realized that overcoming this physical rejection is actually not that difficult.

In other words, there is a feeling - "If you want to do it, you can do it yourself", it's like a determination from the bottom of your heart.

However, it's still a bit reluctant, so that now Xue Nai's face is more like "knowing that I ate a fly in my mouth and can't spit it out" than "eating a piece of chocolate", which amused Avni Er covered his mouth and laughed.

"Do not laugh……"

Saying this, Xue Nai was not angry, and looked a little coquettish.

Eveniel curled her eyelashes and smiled.

It was a very incredible smile——Xue Nai felt that from the bottom of her heart, as if looking at Naoko's eyes, her curly eyelashes and moist lips could forget all unpleasantness and be full of strength.

"It would be fine if there was no fighting..."

"Did you say anything?"

Xue Nai's soft murmur was hidden in the gunshots from a distance, and was not heard clearly by Avenier.

She pinched another bar of chocolate.

"Would you like another piece?"

"Absolutely not!"

This time, Xue Nai simply turned her head away.

At this time, behind the dark curtain, there was another short burst of gunfire.

The soldiers were searching all the offices, laboratories, and rooms on the B7 floor in turn, and they had to get rid of all the hidden residues here.

The gunfire stopped abruptly.

Xue Nai looked in the direction of the gunshots. At the end of the field of vision, chairs, tables and cabinets were used to pile up two-person-high obstacles. Xue Nai roughly guessed that it was something that existed to resist the impact of debris.

Those things were already drenched in blood.

Xue Nai turned her head, raised her feet and hugged them with her hands, and shrank back slightly.

"There are so many residues here... It feels more than what I saw along the way..."

"Because... this is the Sakai Monument Management Office, and it is also the center of the Sakai Monument barrier."

Evenier thought for a while and said.

"This is the core of the Sakai Monument system. After the erosion body appeared and the agent died in battle, most of the people who had nowhere to escape would eventually flock to this building... This place can be said to be the last line of defense before the fall of the former Sakagawa, but I was still one step late at the time..."

"..."

Xue Nai lowered her gaze, and lightly held Avenier's hand.

It turned out to be the case.

"No wonder the closer you get to this side, the more vehicles and roadblocks are piled up on the road, and the more debris you encounter..."

Again, this means more people die.

Xue Nai recalled the scenery he had seen all the time - the various lines of defense and debris pile blockades that appeared outside the corridors and halls were proof of the survival of these people.As a matter of course, these people did not die from the attack of the erosive body, but gradually turned into residues under the corrosion of the erosive energy after the Sakai Monument barrier disappeared.

The dried blood on the wall almost foreshadowed the end of the last group of people living here—some of them gradually turned into dregs, while the rest had to kill those who were turning into dregs as soon as possible, otherwise they would face the huge threat brought by the dregs.

Xue Nai couldn't imagine that when the last moment came, the people here died with such despair and misery.

They may die, waiting for help that will not come.

Once imagining such a scene, it is like stabbing a spike into the bottom of my heart.

Life in Xijing City, life in school, everything in daily life will be deprived and trampled by erosion.

——Perhaps... this is what Naoko has been trying to protect.

……

33. Exchange

The last gunfire ended in the gray matter and blood of the residue.

All the debris and remains of the corpses were piled up in several rooms by the soldiers, and the rooms were locked.

Everyone's body was covered with large pieces of gray matter or dark red sticky blood like carrion. In order to ensure the safety of the engineering team, the soldiers cleaned up all the residues on the entire B7 floor.

At the same time, the members of the engineering team also completed the restart work in hand.

Everything is proceeding in an orderly manner according to the original plan.

"The time is just right."

Kuo Maki looked at the wristwatch, standing like a pine tree, she put down the night vision goggles, and her black hair fell from her cheeks.

Her steely eyes stared at the beating of the pointer.

"—how about the cable installation? Can the temporary communication be enabled now?"

"It has been debugged and can be used now."

Adjutant reported.

"Very good, connect me to the ground troops."

"Yes."

After a short waiting time, the sound of electric current like fine sand flowing through the main control room sounded, and soon, a soft girl's voice came.

"commander."

Following the sound, the figure of Yanilas appeared on the screen set up.

Behind her is the working engineering vehicle and the "train" of the huge carriage. A large number of cable lines are connected from the rear of the engineering vehicle, some of which are lowered from the elevator shaft to the main control room, and the rest are all used for energy and control signal transmission.

"Did the mission go well?"

"Fortunately, sir."

Yanilasi was wearing a communication headset, and the sound of guns and guns could be faintly heard from behind her.

"Now we are continuing to advance the task of removing residues and eroded bodies in the surrounding area. Team B has completed the underlying maintenance of the Sakai Monument system, and the backup energy is sufficient to support us in the next restart of the Sakai Monument. However, we have encountered a somewhat difficult task. The problem……"

"It doesn't seem to be going smoothly... report the details to me."

"It's like this. During our investigation and search, we found that the backup energy reserve of the Sakai Monument is very tight. It seems that it has been damaged by erosion before. The remaining energy can only support our engineering workload for about half a day. We found the energy control room along the line and investigated it. We found that the circuit connection has been damaged and cannot be used. Therefore, the engineering team needs to bridge and erect a new line on top of it to concentrate and transmit the power."

"Half a day..."

Jiusheng Maji pinched his chin and frowned slightly.

"In half a day, can the erection of the new line be completed?"

"It shouldn't be difficult to just jump over the damaged line, but leaving here will encounter a lot of erosion... and it will take time to clear the roadblock."

In other words, it is difficult to complete all the work in half a day.

If the roadblocks and erosion bodies are not completely removed, the engineering vehicles will not be able to arrive smoothly, and the subsequent work will be difficult to continue.

And even if the power supply is restored, if the threat of the erosive body is not completely eliminated, the newly erected lines will be destroyed by the erosive body.

These are problems that need to be solved urgently.

"I can't wait that long."

Jiusheng Maji paused, lowered her eyes, and she seemed to be thinking about countermeasures with her brows tightly furrowed.

"Can I use civilian lines for transfer?"

"Maybe you can try it... But it is difficult for the terminal of a civilian line to support such a huge load, and the nearest relay station is not too close to here, so I'm afraid it will cause a lot of trouble..."

"If you can, then do it."

"Yes, sir."

"Please wait a moment," at this moment, Efnir, who was resting aside, suddenly said, and Maki Kuo looked at Efnir.

"What advice do you have, Commodore?"

"It's not a suggestion, but if this is the problem, I think I may know a shortcut."

Maki Kuo looked at Efnir seriously, and spoke slowly.

"Go on."

Avenier looked sideways at the large number of display screens in the central control room. Some of those screens were damaged, and most of the other screens did not receive video signals.

"...Fifina and I came here once on a support mission a month ago, and we still have an impression of this neighborhood."

That was the day when it all started. That day Evenier and Fengling Shiyin were dispatched to provide support, but when they arrived at the Qiansakachuan area, they realized that it was already a step late.

Due to the silence of the Sakai Monument system, more and more erosion bodies began to appear, and the work of Efnir and Feifina was constantly hindered, and no survivors were found until the end. Finally, before the erosion bodies gathered retreat.

Code H and Sakurai Yuki met in the strictly guarded processing factory during the retreat, the "last two people".

"During the process of searching for survivors, I once heard Fefina mention information about an 'abandoned tunnel'. It is a cable laying tunnel left over from the old generation. It was abandoned due to final planning issues during the reconstruction of the former Banchuan garrison.

In other words, using the cable lines in the abandoned underground tunnel to replace the upcoming erection work, in addition to shortening the operation time, the underground travel can also become smoother to a certain extent-the ground is full of erosion bodies and residues, as well as a large number of damaged vehicles and roadblocks. In contrast, the tunnel only needs to face a small amount of residue and possible erosion bodies.

"Will it take time to pass the fortification... Anyway, this is a proposal that can be considered."

Jiusheng Maji pondered for a moment, then glanced at Evenier again, and turned his gaze to the screen.

"Then, Yanilas, please choose your manpower in advance, and wait for Brigadier General Avenir and I to come back. At the same time, arrange all active people, set up a defense line with all your strength, and use all available things. The last lure Don’t be stingy with the missiles, and before I come back, prepare for the restart of the Sakai Monument. There is plenty of time now, but don’t relax your vigilance, and report immediately if you find any traces of the apostle’s activities.”

"Yes!"

The communication was cut off, Jiusheng Maji looked at the soldiers behind him, and said to the adjutant: "You take some of them and stay here, guard here, and contact me in time if there is any change, and the rest take your weapons and return to the ground with me."

"Yes!"

"Brigadier General Aveniel."
