About becoming a magical girl

"I think what we need to do now is to rebuild the former Sakagawa garrison as soon as possible. This is a crucial task for Xijing City. The next combat operation against Liujin City needs to obtain more intelligence support before making a long-term plan."

After Evenier expressed her concerns, Yanila also echoed:

"I also have this idea, Commander. Our combat effectiveness is severely depleted. I think the apostle forces encountered this time are far stronger than those that appeared in the surrounding areas of the Central Province, and we should act more cautiously."

In fact, both Evenier and Yanilas felt the change in the behavior of the apostle organization this time.

In addition, they also re-evaluated the combat effectiveness and threat level of the apostle organization, as well as the feasibility of missions and combat plans.

In the materials of the People's Federation, the apostles do not have the ability to see things in the "fog", but this time the members of the apostles team showed this ability.

Similarly, there is one more angel than recorded in the data.

As well as the group of girls code-named "Apostles", although each of them is much weaker than the "Apostles" recorded in the information of the People's Federation, but their number is very large, nearly 40 people, which is indisputable. Doubt is a powerful fighting force that must not be ignored.

To put it simply, the intelligence of the People's Federation lagged behind. The apostle showed new abilities on the frontal battlefield in Xijing City, and even took out the second angel as a hole card. He had to modify the action plan based on the assumption that "the apostle has more combat power".

Xijing City has Efnir and Yanilas, and now there is Leipis as a powerful foreign aid, so it is natural that it is not afraid of the threat of angels.

But according to Code H, Liujin City is the lair of the apostles, who knows if there are other angels there?

And how many apostles are there?How many troops does the apostle organization have?

No one knows.

The operation has been carried out so far and the original planning goal of the operation has been achieved - to regain the former Sakagawa garrison area, defeat and expel the apostles. In the eyes of most soldiers, this step in the operation is enough. If you want to continue, you will face rapid growth. Risks and costs, and after yesterday's battle, there is already a part of this sentiment growing.

94. Main Sequence Star, Muse

"I'll leave those things to other people."

After Yanilas finished speaking, Maki Kuo just nodded and did not express any clear avoidance.

Because of the existence of "fog" and lack of intelligence, the People's Federation could not accurately grasp the enemy's movements, which caused the nature of this battle to slip into the abyss of gambling-there is no such thing as "preparation", only luck and adaptability.

The apostle organization is not a corroded body that can only wander in place, but a living person. Will these enemies wait there and wait for the human coalition forces to come to the door?Or will the information be handed over?

Won't the apostle organization make any response after the defeat in the former Sakagawa battle?

The two angels and the four apostles have already fled. It is not known where they are, and it is even more difficult to predict how they will go next.

But this will not have a greater impact on the current situation.

Once the battle starts, it will not stop easily, and personal choice is irrelevant.

Jiusheng Maki waved his hand, and continued with the previous words.

"We will continue to stay in the station for a week, and I need you to continue to serve as the captains of your respective teams."

Although the former Banchuan District has been regained, there are still many things to do.

There are thousands of debris gathered in the entire garrison area, and the troops are cleaning it up every day, and the wounded will be sent back to the garrison from time to time. To a certain extent, the presence of agents can greatly reduce accidents.

And the investigation of the apostle organization that appeared out of thin air and disappeared without knowing where—since those apostles appeared in the former Sakagawa garrison area, and had two frontal battles with the Xijing City troops outside Sakai and in the garrison area, then they must be left behind. Gathering valuable information, Maki Kuo has already sent someone to investigate it. If there is some progress or even directly encounters the apostle organization, then the subsequent work will naturally require the assistance of the agent.

"...After this battle, the operation mode based on the squad has been basically determined. Now Suzuta City's proxy team 'Mourning Bird' is temporarily incorporated into our battle order, and Suzuta City's support force 'Station-Fourth Destroyer Fleet' will be used as the outer support of the mission. They will stay here for five days. During this period, the 'Mourning Bird' will act together with your proxy team."

Maki Kuo briefly explained the current situation of each department, and then handed over some information to Efnir and Yanilas.

Both Efnir and Yanilas have been in contact with the "Mourning Bird" team. It has to be said that compared with the "broken generation" team of Evenier and the Yanilas team with less combat experience, the "Mourning Bird" "The fighting power shown is definitely worthy of its name of "Suzuta's first agent team".

For the current combat troops of Xijing City, the support of Suzuta City has brought great help.

"...Before that, in order to carry out the unified command of the agent force more conveniently, the agent personnel under the two of you will be combined and organized, with the two of you as the captains, two agent action teams will be set up—" 'Main Sequence Star' and 'Muses'... the members and details have been drawn up and confirmed, and are in your hands."

Yanila lowered her head and opened the document in her hand.

The team she is in is "Muse" and serves as the captain.

There were originally ten second-generation agents. Among them, the kite who used the first-generation order weapon was assigned to Efnir, and the rest of the second-generation agents were led by Yanila.

According to myths and legends, there are nine "Muses" in total, and the name of the team comes from this.

The "Main Sequence Star" team naturally refers to the team led by Efnir. Apart from Efnir, who is the captain of course, there are six people in total: Feifina, Aisha, Baiyan, Fulan, and Yuan.

In a sense, the main-sequence star team is a team formed with Efnir as the core, and at the same time, as the main team of the original Xijing City agent, it has also been endowed with an unusual meaning.

The largest main-sequence star in the solar system is the sun. For Xijing City, Efnir is the "center" of all agents, the most powerful and experienced agent in Xijing City, so the name "main-sequence star" may be in a sense.

Yanilas glanced at Evenier, who was silently looking at the information in his hand.

"Xia Duo is not among them..."

Evenier just thought for a moment in silence, but didn't speak.

Strictly speaking, Xia Duo is not a member of the agent system. Maki Kuo neither took the initiative to include Xia Duo in the agent's combat sequence, nor said anything about it, which made Evenier a little puzzled.

"The two of you are the captains of your respective teams. You have the right to apply for member transfers, but you need my approval. At the same time, you will act together with the 'Mourning Bird' team to be responsible for the mission of investigating the clues of the apostle organization in the area. exist……"

Before Jiusheng Maji finished speaking, the communication device's access prompt sounded.

On the other end of the communication is Kuo Maki's assistant officer, who is now directing the task of cleaning up the residue and searching for clues left by the apostle organization. It is obvious that important information has been discovered by accessing the communication now.

A gleam flashed in Jiusheng Maki's eyes, and he did not avoid Efnir and Yanilas, and connected, and soon the voice of a non-commissioned officer came from the communicator.

However, unlike what Maki Kuo thought, the sergeant's tone was a little unnatural: "Commander! I think we may have encountered some trouble."

"what happened?"

"A mutation! It's a mutation," the noncommissioned officer said in a hurry. "One of our teams found a large number of mutations, including many 'seed parasites'. They need support..."

"Variants..."

Efnir and Yanilas looked at each other, and they both saw a trace of doubt and seriousness in their respective eyes.

"Variation", perhaps calling that kind of weird plant/residue symbiosis is a bit too general.

Whether it is Evnir, Yanilas, or Jiusheng Maki, it is the first time they have come into contact with that kind of weird organism, which has the characteristics of certain residues, and is strictly speaking a "dead thing", but it is also regarded as a "dead thing" Confers special biological traits.

In the 20 years since human civilization was destroyed by the erosion of white holes, the ecology of this planet has undergone tremendous changes.

The existence of this mutant might be some kind of new discovery.

This is also extremely important and valuable information for human beings, and it is also necessary information to prevent unknown dangers from happening.

"I went to confirm the situation."

"Then I will lead the 'Muse' team and follow."

They looked at Jiusheng Maji, Jiusheng Maji nodded, and said: "Depending on the situation, I will send 'Mourning Bird' to participate in the investigation."

"Move quickly and report the situation as soon as possible after confirming the situation."

95. Grassland

All the groups of soldiers who are performing missions have received emergency instructions to report the situation of their streets and keep vigilant.

Soon, there was a roar of engines at the end of the street. The silver-black heavy motorcycle stood out in the sunlight. It was as fast as a bird of prey pushing the clouds and flew by.

Ordinary people simply cannot maintain such a high speed under such road conditions, but the agent can—the soldier team that sent out the distress call has lost contact, time is urgent, and there is no helicopter to dispatch.

“艾芙尼尔少将，请沿N1-E17-N4-W5-N2道路前行。”

"receive."

The command's operators provide Avenir with a clear street.

Evenier drove the motorcycle through a few turns, all the way unimpeded, and soon the block came to an end, the towering buildings in the residential area came to an abrupt end, replaced by a sudden vision - a planting and cultivation shed appeared in front of Evenier's eyes, after experiencing the brilliance of erosion disasters, these crops that should have thrived in white greenhouses under the care of human beings have disappeared, replaced by messy and collapsed greenhouses and human-high green blades of grass.

After the soldiers reported the emergency and asked for help, there was no news. No matter how the command called, they did not get any news.

The only information Evenier has is the clue mentioned in the soldier's last communication - the area where the "variant" appeared is located in the cultivation area two kilometers east of the temporary station.

"The 'Mourning Bird' team, the 'Main Sequence Star', and the 'Muse' are heading to the designated location..."

"Give me the communication between the 'Main Sequence Star' and Yanilas and Lapis."

With a flick of the motorcycle, sparks and white smoke burst out, Evenier got off the car lightly, silver light shone slightly, and the flowing black hair was immediately stained with snow. Evenier turned into an agent in exile, jumped to the monitoring station on the side, and stepped on the tall signal tower to look at the green ahead.

There was no gunfire, and there was not even a trace of biological breath. The breeze created layers of fine waves in the vast green sea, and the air was quiet and eerie.

Evenier looked far and wide, and quickly noticed some unnatural places under her eyes - the cut down grass, the guns and equipment and clothing fragments left in it, the traces of battles, and the landslides raised by bombs. land……

The air is still humid.

These traces are very messy, without traces, and appear scattered in this area covered by grass blades.

Apparently, there had been more than one battle here in the period after the rain stopped, but these people did not respond to the call from the command.

It must have been an accident...

"Efnir called the headquarters, I have arrived at the periphery of the target area."

"Have you found any trace of soldiers or objects?"

"There's some ... but I'm afraid it won't be good news."

Evenier briefly reported the situation here, and at this moment, a slight movement buried deep in the grass attracted Evenier's attention.

It was like a rabbit scurrying across the haystack, a very subtle and unnoticeable movement. If it was an ordinary person, it might ignore this slight sound hidden in the breeze, but for the agent, being careful is the key. I can feel it.

"Evenil, we're almost there."

Yanilas' voice appeared in the headset, and then Repis also joined the communication.

"Can we wait until we come over? I'm also interested in these 'variants', and I want to see them with my own eyes."

"I'm afraid it's too late."

Efnir raised her hand, and a silver light like moonlight emerged in her hand, growing into the shape of a gun.

Yanilas and Lapis each assembled their own teams. They didn't have fast enough means of transportation, and their footsteps weren't enough to get here immediately. Avenir estimated that they might need three to five minutes to get here. Arrives, and Evenier is not sure if "something" in the grass will be patient enough.

She no longer hesitated to look at the target, and jumped down from the communication tower, her toes pierced the green waves, and the silver light was shining. She raised her gun and her waist and went straight to the target, smashing the green waves of grass blades with each foot, exposing a large area of ​​mud.

Before taking a few steps, Evenier buried his foot between the blades of grass, and the large blades of grass were shredded by the wind and waves amidst the flashing silver lights, revealing the objects under the blades of grass—branches, vines, Such a term is simply not enough to describe that kind of thing, it is not an existence that can be described with such a mild term.

Bloody and black intertwined, knotted and coiled, like a plant and like a strip of meat, the bloody python just lay quietly on the ground, and the disgusting fishy smell was rolled up by the air waves under Avnir's feet, rushing towards her.

"Is this...there are so many?"

Something similar to the "variant" that Evenier had seen in the underground tunnel of the relay station and near the entrance of the tunnel seemed to be some kind of organ of the "variant", and Evenier's arrival did not disturb it.

Now that he had found the target, Evenier did not move forward, with silver light shining under his feet, Evenier turned over briskly, and shot from behind his waist.

The tip of the gun fell into the ground, and the handle of the gun was facing the sky. Evenier landed on the gun with one foot, like a dragonfly falling on a branch.

Efnir turned his attention to the slowly wriggling vine on the ground—this "vine" is obviously alive, it seems to be resting, and its surface is covered with ferocious blood vessel-like structures, like tree roots, but there is no obvious distinction between thickness and primary and secondary, but like the tentacles of an octopus.

Judging from the thickness of the shape and the color of the skin, this may be the tentacles from the same "variant".

And there are still torn and broken clothes and broken and bent weapons scattered around here. It is obvious that those soldiers have died in the line of duty...

Evenier didn't have time to mourn. She carefully observed these vines. It was the first time she observed these things so closely, but each time it gave him a strange feeling.

After watching for a while, Eveniel frowned slightly as he looked across the overgrown planting field.

From the very beginning, Evenier had a strange feeling—even with the fertile soil here, it shouldn't be possible to grow such a vast grassland as tall as a person in such a short period of time.

There was a faint smell of blood in the air.

"too weird……"

At this time, following Evenier's murmurs in his heart, the grassland finally started to move, as if he had discovered the unexpected guest Avenier.

The next moment, several thick vine branches burst out from the grass, and attacked Efnir like a giant python that chooses to devour someone.
