About becoming a magical girl

Jiusheng Maki finally turned his gaze to Evenier, his gaze was as calm as ever.

"I'll leave it to you to lead the way."

"Happy to help, but I need some people."

"can."

34. Intuition

The drizzle on the ground still has no tendency to stop.

Setting up defense lines, maintenance and pre-activation of the Sakai Monument system, laying of induction nets, transfer of backup energy sources, and erection of temporary communication lines as bases...

All this is progressing in an orderly manner.

Because it was all done during pre-training, the soldiers were able to perform at a high speed.

"It's a bold decision to use this as a temporary stronghold and headquarters..."

I have to say that Kuo Maki is inexplicably similar to Mazaki Hina in this regard.

It is said that they actually know each other. After all, they are both top students who graduated from the military academy in the central province, and they are also actual combatants who hold military medals. It is hard to imagine that there is no intersection between them at all.

But in fact, they showed neither obvious hostility nor any "friendly appearance" at all.

"That's the only way to do it, right?"

After all, it is directly under the Sakai Monument, so it is indeed the most intuitive choice in terms of safety.

"But those residues that haven't been cleaned up in the ground...is it really good to just leave them alone?"

"Wait until the restart of the Sakai Monument is completed and all the initial work has been prepared before performing centralized cleaning."

"Will support get here?"

"No surprises."

After a brief exchange, Evenier and Yanilas summoned all the remaining combat-capable agents from both teams.

Asaki Jiusheng took off the oxygen mask and the heavy plate clamp on his body, and gave a brief description of the combat situation.

Her voice is not too loud, but it is very clear and can be heard clearly.

Raindrops fell with sporadic gunshots, and from time to time there would be a bang from the sky—in order to avoid the accumulation of erosive bodies nearby and provide a safer operating space for the subsequent empty window period between the monument and the "shield", it is necessary to draw the erosive bodies away as much as possible.

"Then Brigadier General Avenier will make a detailed report."

Maki Kuo motioned to Efnir, and Efnir took a step forward and began to explain the upcoming "Tunnel Cable Laying Operation".

"Well, let me add a specific action plan."

"...This time the operation is roughly divided into three stages. First, we will start from the underground passage buried in the 'Institute of Subtropical Plant and Ecological Sciences (Jian ICS Research Institute)' in the former Banchuan District, with the help of the old generation The remaining cable laying tunnels... The tasks are carried out sequentially with time as a reference. In addition to the scheduled line erection tasks, the team also needs to go to the relay station to perform cleaning and guidance tasks to ensure the safety of the lines. Therefore, this combat mission It is bound to come into direct contact with and fight with a large number of residues and erosion bodies."

After the assumption of the line is completed, if the attack of the erosive body is attracted by the operation of the circuit and equipment, all previous efforts will be wasted. Therefore, the team led by Evenier still needs to ensure the safety of the ground line and the relay station.

The restart of the "Sakai Monument" is bound to strongly stimulate all erosive bodies within the former Sakakawa station area in an instant.

Just like pouring a basin of water into an ant's nest, while the "Sakai Monument Barrier" suppresses the power of the eroding bodies, it will also immediately make the eroding bodies fall into an abnormally manic action mode.

At this time, it is necessary to use the induced bombs laid along the way from the outer area of ​​Sakai to the Sakai Monument to divert all the erosion bodies that have collided with the temporary station and the Sakai Monument. As the state of the erosion body weakens and is attracted by the induced bombs, lay the route as soon as possible, capture the relay station, and complete the necessary erection work before the backup energy of the Sakai Monument is exhausted.

This series of tasks must be completed within half a day, the sooner the better.

"Of course, we have sent out teams to carry out reconnaissance and search missions, and we will soon be able to determine the situation near and below the tunnel entrance. The ideal situation is to complete all missions while avoiding large-scale combat."

As long as the "Sakai Monument Barrier" is restarted, the subsequent cleaning work will be much easier.

When confirming the combat team members, Avenier added his own requirements:

"I need 20 additional soldiers. Prepare all ammunition and equipment. They will also carry explosives for blasting and a little more induction grenades. It is best to add two heavy machine guns. In addition, the engineering team also needs to..."

In addition to the scheduled line erection and repair engineering team members, other accompanying fighters are also required.

There are a lot of debris gathered in the tunnel, and those are the victims who took refuge in the tunnel and finally died of alienation. In this case, the role of guns and bombs is very considerable.

In addition, the soldiers must also be responsible for staying behind and guarding the engineering team to ensure the safety of the engineering team.

In addition, considering the partial collapse of the tunnel, operation blockage, and blasting of obstacles, explosives for blasting are also necessary.

These equipments are drawn from weapons.

"Besides that, I also hope that Fifina and Kite (鸟) can go with me, that's all the candidates."

As Fifina, Xue Nai's strong eyesight and support force are one of the keys to greatly increase the success rate of operations.

At the same time, just to be on the safe side, Evenier also added a second-generation agent with good melee combat and on-the-spot adaptability as an assisting force.

The adjutant asked: "Is this enough people?"

"enough."

Eveniel nodded in response.

Seeing Evenier's affirmation, the adjutant stopped talking, but sorted out the combat arrangements and forwarded them to Maki Kuo.

Calculated, the number of engineering teams is more than that of combat teams.

Although it is a highly important operation, the focus of this operation is not the battle, but the laying of the line.

Moreover, there are no suitable vehicles in the tunnels left over from the old generation, so the laying of the lines requires more manpower.

And... Evenier alone is enough to be equivalent to a whole team. Her strength is obvious to all. Even Maki Kuo has to admit this, so the adjutant did not raise any objections to Avenir's arrangement.

"Then, take action and get all the equipment and weapons ready—Anilas."

"Yes!"

Yanila took a step forward and looked at the agent team who had been waiting here for a long time.

"Kite, get out! From now on, you will follow Brigadier General Avenir!"

"Yes!"

The boots slammed under Kite's feet, and she gave a standard military salute to Evenier.

Xue Nai naturally followed behind Efnir, and at this time the adjutant also brought a group of heavily armed soldiers over.

Evenier asked the adjutant: "Did the investigation team send back any news?"

"Report, not yet."

"not yet?"

Evenier glanced at the electronic bracelet on his wrist.

As early as when Efnir and Jiusheng Maki were still in the underground master control room, Yanila sent someone to the research institute to check the situation in advance.

It has been so long, since it is not a combat mission, generally speaking, the news should have been sent back long ago.

Puzzled.

and a bad feeling.

Intuition made Evenier feel that something was wrong, she stared at the electronic display on the bracelet, slightly frowning.

She raised her eyes and looked at Tobi and the adjutant.

"You are here to prepare, I will go to see the situation."

35. Cutting

Just south of the ICS Institute's experimental base, several small-scale greenhouse cultivation sheds have been established, and the entrance of the underground cable tunnel is nearby.

Damaged by erosion and chaotic disasters, this side of the greenhouse has long since collapsed, with lush plantings bursting green from between the blasted plastic and the collapsed railings.

The barren and green are intertwined, like a courtyard invaded by weeds.

The air is filled with the fragrance of slightly moist soil, and the raindrops fall with a rustling sound.

Efnir wore a snow-colored long coat with a hood, and an assault rifle hung around his waist. The tight-fitting fiber clothing extended to the inside of the boots, and the leather buckle was tightly tied to his thighs to create a shallow groove. The knives, magazines, and grenades were tied on the sides of his legs and around his waist.

She bent down slowly, brushing away the green leaves and weeds up to her waist, her jet-black hair like a crow's feather flowed out from under the hood, fell from one shoulder, and was tied on a water-colored ribbon.

Evenier looked around, frowning slightly.

"... Strange... Hasn't the investigation team been here?"

The "mark" was cut off here, and there was no sign of the soldiers sent over.

She noticed that many of the plants here had been chopped down by some kind of sharp instrument, and most of them were only left in half.

Efnir pulled out a blade of grass and examined it carefully before his eyes.

——Is it the soldiers of the squad who used the knives they carried to chop off the blades of grass that blocked the line of sight?

But... most of the blades of grass were cut very neatly.In other words——compared to being cut by a short knife or a dagger, it was more like being cut by a harvester.

Moreover, the incision is very rough, it doesn't look like it was cut off by some sharp tool, but it looks like a branch was broken by a huge force.

Evenier pinched half of the blade of grass suspiciously, got up slowly, took a few steps forward again, and squatted down.

The last time she came to the former Banchuan resident area, Fengling Shiyin accidentally discovered an underground tunnel on the side of the ICS Research Institute while searching for survivors, and went down to conduct a simple search.

At that time, the incident was urgent, Fengling Shiyin did not find any survivors, and returned to Avnir to join her. After returning to Xijing City, she checked the tunnel that did not appear on the map again, and learned that this was an abandoned passage left by the old generation, and briefly explained the existence of the tunnel in the form of a report.

Fengling Shiyin told Evenier everything about the tunnel, so Avenier had an impression of the tunnel.

But Fengling Shiyin was in charge of the investigation of the tunnel, and Efnir only knew the approximate location of the tunnel, so Yanila was the first to send people to search and investigate beforehand.

This is also to save time, as well as to ensure mission safety.

There were only a few members of the investigation team, and they left a "mark line" in the process of searching for the entrance of the tunnel-Evenir followed the mark all the way to find it.

But here the mark breaks off abruptly.

And the figures of the soldiers did not know where they went.

There was a faint sound of gunshots in the distant sky, and Evenier squatted down on the spot, pushed aside the "weeds" in front of him, and searched carefully.

Those "weeds" are all scientific research projects and achievements of the ICS Research Institute. Now, the hard work of these researchers has been wasted due to the disaster. The Institute of Subtropical Plant and Ecological Sciences in the former Banchuan District, referred to as the ICS Research Institute, is an important laboratory engineering center in the former Banchuan District.

Qianbanchuan provides nearly 25% of the grain output of Xijing City, and is one of the most important food supply bases in Xijing City. The ICS Research Institute established in Qianbanchuan District is responsible for developing and improving existing crops and livestock All kinds of work related to breeding.

In this era when human living space is constantly being compressed, population, land, and resources are all decisive factors for the survival of a city. On this basis, the final output per unit cultivated area or breeding time is a very important indicator.

In order to support ICS research projects, Xijing City allocates a large amount of funds to it every year.

And ICS and the institutions behind it have indeed delivered satisfactory returns to Xijing City.

By the way, the research institute where Yanase and his wife work is the upstream institution of ICS, which is much higher than ICS in terms of specifications and grades. Although it is not at the level of the central province's general institute, it is also a high-level administrative branch. .

When she was a child, Evenier always had an inexplicable affection for those people in white coats.

However, Yukina always hated that kind of dress, so that Yanase and his wife never wore their professional attire when they were at home.

"Sir!"

At this time, a loud male voice came from behind Evenier. It was a heavily armed soldier, and Evenier looked familiar to him.

"Lieutenant Colonel Anelace asked me to convey to you! Our soldiers are about to be ready, about..."

"Let them come and gather first... By the way, tell Kite and Fifina to be careful, something is wrong here..."

In the middle of speaking, Evenier suddenly gave a hand.

Although it was just passing by, Evenier was keenly aware of some "foreign objects" - she pushed the shallow grass away, and behind the hidden grass blades lay a copper-yellow bullet casing quietly.

And, half of the footprints, and the blood red that almost disappeared due to the washing of the rain.

Evenier pinched the bullet case between his fingers, and took a close look at it in front of his eyes.

But at this moment, a sudden change—heterogeneous "dust" suddenly appeared and floated in the field of vision, and a piercing explosion suddenly exploded in the air, followed by several dark green dust. The long whip swung straight at Efnir and the soldiers behind her from behind the blades of grass.

Eveniel narrowed his eyes slightly.

——Sure enough, there is something abnormal!
