Injure 800 enemies and lose 10,000 of your own?
The original intention of Komuro Takashi to exchange this skill may be to consider the premise that there is a healer in the team. Hellfire can be interrupted at any time and is extremely powerful for observers. Komuro Takashi has the conditions to use this skill, but the priest is not around.
Kitahara Sora, who had been lost in thought for a while, suddenly looked at Aso Takuto and asked in confusion, "Just now you said that I had the same idea as you, what did you mean?"
Aso Takuto stroked Rao's messy hair and said with a smile, "So I asked the captain why he kept that guy Kanazawa. I thought he was very important to you."
"I will try to control him first until I succeed, then leave the nuclear bomb and that guy here, and we will ride the drilling mecha to escape. After we are a certain distance away, I will let him detonate the nuclear bomb!"
Aso Takuto said proudly: "How is it? It's an amazing plan!"
Kitahara Sora narrowed his eyes, as if he was seriously thinking about the feasibility of this plan, then he looked outside and slowly shook his head.
"What will happen to the people here if we leave? The second phase of the mission is to win the war. The queen and the eggs have been destroyed. We have already won half the battle. But if everyone here is killed by a nuclear bomb, it is very likely that the mission will fail. After all, some of the bugs have returned to their nests."
“Eh——Is there still such speculation?”
"We must assume the worst. Your plan is too risky." Kitahara Sora denied it, put the nuclear bomb into the ring, and then looked at Kobayashi Daigo, "You are all here, right?"
"Kazami, Miike, including Kanazawa and Minagawa, are all outside fending off the bugs."
Listening to the shouting outside, Xiaolin Daigo had a trace of worry between his brows, "This is indeed a good position. The bugs can't get up here for a while, but their ammunition is almost exhausted. They will break through the defense in an hour at most."
"There is another problem. If the bugs consider the losses again and surround us without attacking, if we wait for another two days, most of the people here will lose their combat effectiveness except us."
The soldiers did not bring much rations with them. They had not eaten anything for almost two days, and some of them were even severely dehydrated.
So much so that by now, the few field doctors have been exhausted...
Just at this moment, the intensive gunfire gradually stopped and the tent was opened again.
The colonel stared at Kitahara Sora who had already woken up, and said with a tired face: "The bugs are no longer charging. They have retreated to 200 meters away from the foot of the mountain... We need food, water and ammunition. What can you do?"
At this time, Yukino's cold voice sounded again from the headset.
The girl seemed to deliberately lower her voice and said softly: "The supply ship will arrive at your area in about three hours. There is no need to break out, just wait quietly... Kitahara-kun, please, please be careful!"
Chapter 55: They are dead
In the flagship dormitory area, Yukino was holding a pen and writing something intently.
The girl's eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, and her thin lips were slightly pursed. She wrote furiously, just like when she was in school and solved a difficult math problem, she would write with great enthusiasm.
Beside her, Kasumigaoka Utaha was staring at the simulated porthole projection on the wall with her arms folded across her chest. The dark and vast universe gave people a sense of unfathomable depth, while the stars that dotted the world gave people a sense of beauty.
The beautiful young writer seemed calm, but the "bang bang" sounds coming from the quiet room betrayed her anxious heart.
Kasumigaoka looked at Yukino, her sexy red lips suddenly opened, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated. But after a pause, she sighed in her heart.
After Yukinoshita boarded the ship, he first went to have a private conversation with the commander-in-chief of this campaign, Jonah Booth. But half an hour later, the two walked out of the conference room as if nothing had happened.
The commander returned to the bridge, and the members of Team Izumo were sent to rest.
As soon as Yukinoshita Yukino entered the dormitory, she started writing and drawing. This situation has been going on for the whole day, even until Kasumigaoka Utaha took a nap.
At first she appeared to be quite calm, but after she said that the young man named Komuro Takashi had died in the battle, the woman's calm expression turned icy cold, like the biting cold wind on a snowy mountain, making people shiver.
Then she behaved very strangely. The strangest thing was that the logistics person came from the kitchen and brought food to the two of them. As a result, when Kasumigaoka picked up the plate and was about to eat, he heard her say without any emotion.
'Are you sleepy? Go to sleep, immediately.'
Although Kasumigaoka was confused at that time, she still lay on the bed according to her idea.
Although I don't know what she means, I am indeed sleepy. Compared with my eyelids fighting each other, being a little hungry for a meal or two is still acceptable.
But after opening his eyes, this guy was still writing and drawing, but the pile of draft papers was at least twenty centimeters thick, and the two hamburger meals remained untouched.
Bored, Kasumigaoka Utaha looked at her paper again. All kinds of strange lines, pictographic patterns, and symbols similar to ancient runes were neatly arranged.
Some of the annotations are similar to those with Japanese romanizations, while others are strange annotations that are incomprehensible.
It's like... like deciphering some kind of text?
I don't know how long it took, but I heard a soft "pop" sound, and the girl put the pen on the table and moved her fingertips tiredly.
"I haven't held a pen for a long time, and suddenly I was given such a heavy workload that it was a bit too much for me."
Kasumigaoka Utaha was so focused that she was startled and looked up and asked in surprise, "Are you done?"
“It’s still a little bit short, but it’s the limit.”
Yukino took out two bottles of oolong tea from the ring and handed one to Kasumigaoka. "It is impossible to judge the meaning through consonants and vowels. We can only infer the meaning through association. Or, their unique way of communication is not through sound at all."
Listening to this vague explanation, Kasumigaoka Utaha seemed to have thought of something and suddenly said in surprise: "This is their writing, you are actually deciphering it..."
"Kasumigaoka-san." Yukino suddenly interrupted her and shook her head slowly, "Are you still sleepy?"
"..."
Kasumigaoka Utaha took a deep breath and forced herself to suppress the anger in her heart. Well, she still didn't want to communicate. Although the beautiful young writer didn't say anything else, she just stomped her feet more and more hurriedly.
Seeing the other party's childish look, Xue No seemed to understand what she was thinking, and sighed softly: "I know what you are thinking, our teammates are fighting, they are in danger of losing their lives at any time, and I am killing time leisurely, is that right?"
"Is not it?"
Kasumigaoka Utaha held her breath and said in a cold voice: "We should have taken action from the moment we boarded the ship. Even if we cracked the code... we should decide based on the situation. Isn't the most important thing right now to solve the dilemma of Kitahara and the others?"
"I've been doing it." Faced with the straightforward questioning, Yukino didn't get angry, but just nodded slowly, and suddenly showed a faint smile, "Why do you think I brought Sugo Shinno up here?"
"That guy Sugo?" Kasumigaoka was suddenly stunned. "I've been feeling very strange for a long time. Why did you exclude him? Why did you..."
"Uh-huh, who said I excluded him?"
"No?" Kasumigaoka widened his eyes.
Xue No didn't answer her question, but gave her a mysterious look, "Almost."
As soon as she finished speaking, there was a soft "ding dong" sound from the dormitory doorbell. After Yukino reached out and pressed a button on the bedside, Ze Yuezhi and Saionji Sekai appeared outside the door with two delicious meals.
Seeing the food still untouched on the table, the two looked at each other and were slightly stunned, "Aren't you hungry?"
"I was too focused, but now I'm hungry." Yukino gave her an apologetic look, "Sorry to bother you two."
"That's right, that's right. Don't work too hard, little classmate." Ze Yuezhi laughed heartily and strode in with the calm Saionji Sekai.
After they placed the exquisite pudding on the table, they looked at the two untouched hamburger meals and asked, "I'll take the one that's cold?"
"Well, thank you."
Yukino pushed a portion of milk pudding in front of Kasumigaoka and asked in confusion, "Why are you the ones delivering food to us? Where are the logistics staff?"
"Ah, that..." Saiyuanji Sekai showed an embarrassed expression and explained hesitantly: "Compared with uncle and I, I am more worried about you, so I went to the kitchen to make it specially... Um, um, my skills are not good, please don't mind."
"You did it?" Yukino laughed, "Okay, I got it. Thank you, Saionji-san. Please have a good rest from now on. We will take care of everything."
"Yeah. Please be safe."
Saionji Sekai blushed and nodded slightly, and Ze Yuezhi gently rubbed her head, and then they turned around and prepared to leave.
But when he reached the door, Ze Yuezhi seemed to remember something, and suddenly turned around, looked at the pile of drafts on the table and said, "By the way, let's go to the flagship after dinner. The commander and Su Xiang have been waiting for you for a long time. How is Yukinoshita's research going?"
"It's done. I'll take a shower after dinner and will be on the bridge in about 15 minutes."
Ze Yuezhi grinned and left the dormitory room one after another with Saionji Sekai.
Kasumigaoka Utaha, who had remained silent the whole time, seemed calm, but her heart was beating faster and faster.
She slowly lowered her head, looked at the tempting pudding in front of her, then looked at the shallow mark on her knuckles, and suddenly looked at Xue Noi...
This mark was caused by Yukinoshita's pinching just now. When she pushed Pudding towards her, she pinched her as if it was a prank. It didn't seem intentional, but it was very painful and subtle.
When Yukino saw her astonished look, she still nodded slowly with a faint smile, then moved forward, picked up the spoon and scooped a spoonful of pudding.
The elastic pudding is very tempting, with a yolk-like milky yellow outer layer and a milky white middle.
After breaking a corner of the pudding with the spoon, I found that there were some unknown nuts similar to melon seeds mixed in the pudding, which looked very appetizing.
But how can you add nuts to a pudding? It's not a cake, so you can add anything to it? Is this the secret recipe of the Saionji world?
Just as Kasumigaoka picked up the metal spoon in confusion, Yukino opened her thin lips and brought the spoonful of pudding to her mouth.
However, as soon as she opened her mouth, the entire spoon disappeared immediately, and reappeared in her hand in less than a second, but the spoonful of pudding mixed with tiny nuts was gone.
Yukino kept scooping up another spoonful... and the third spoonful...
"I didn't particularly like sweets before, but since I became a 'spellcaster', I found that I like sweets more and more..."
"When your brain is working, it consumes blood sugar in your body, so you won't refuse sweets now. There are also detailed descriptions in many movies and novels, such as wizards and magicians who like sweets. After all, they are 'brain workers'."
Kasumigaoka Utaha also smiled and pushed her pudding in front of Yukino. "Although there is no scientific basis for this, it is too exaggerated. They don't need to consider losing weight at all. Not everyone is born with a physique that is easy to lose weight."
"Are you warning me, Kasumigaoka-san?" Yukino smiled, and quickly 'eaten' her own pudding, then moved Kasumigaoka's portion in front of herself.
"You should be a little fatter, to increase your femininity! In some aspects, you are not even as good as some elementary school students. Really, God has set your intelligence and appearance very high, but are there some corresponding shortcomings?"
Kasumigaoka Utaha curled her lips in her heart but did not express the complaints in her heart. Now was not the time to argue with friends to enhance the relationship.
Until now, she still couldn't see the problem, which was too stupid. Yukino had been warning her since she boarded the ship. Although she felt puzzled before, she now basically understood.
Kasumigaoka Utaha glanced at the camera in the corner without any expression. So, Kitahara-san was still fighting the bugs, but what did you do? Just a simple conversation with the commander?
As this question arose in her heart, Xue No said while eating pudding: "While you were resting, I communicated with Commander Jonah again and told him that I could decipher the Zerg's text. I hope he would give me 24 hours."
"I told him that I could tell him the source of our power, and revealed to him that this method could be mastered by both humans and Zerg, and I also warned him slightly."
"warn?"
"Yes, a warning."
Xue No scooped a spoonful of pudding and continued to explain: "After all, humans are greedy. In order to ensure my own safety, I can only do this. I am afraid that he will capture me for research and use my power to fight against the Zerg."
"I told him not to have any evil thoughts. My strength is enough to destroy the flagship together with me... At the same time, I also promised him that I would reveal the secret after the war is over."
"Hmm..." Kasumigaoka Utaha touched her chin and asked in confusion: "So? Why didn't the fleet send reinforcements or use railguns?"
"It's not that we don't use it, it's that we can't use it."
Yukino sighed, "They can only destroy themselves or wait for reinforcements from Earth. Humans cannot destroy this planet. If this planet cannot become a strategic stronghold, then humans and Zerg will always be on the defensive in the next battle."
"The Zerg know the coordinates of the Earth, but humans only know the coordinates of the Crandaff galaxy. The Zerg's territory is not just this galaxy. Humans must turn this place into a second Earth and completely secure the defense line... This is the reason the commander gave me, and I can't refute it."
Yukino took a bite of pudding and changed the subject, "However, Kitahara-kun and his men found a place that is easy to defend but difficult to attack. As long as they have sufficient supplies, they can hold out for at least a week. The supply ship set out three hours ago."
So we can only wait for Earth to send more troops?
Kasumigaoka Utaha glanced at Yukino meaningfully, then suddenly frowned and said in a deep voice, "In less than two days, tens of thousands of armored troops, tens of thousands of attack planes, bombers, a hundred Gundams, and hundreds of thousands of infantry of different arms... Now there are less than 70,000 people left... What is the reaction of the Earth?"
"No matter how they react, they cannot give up this planet."
Yukino 'swallowed' the last bite of pudding and put down the spoon gracefully, "All Kitahara-kun and the others can do is to persevere. At least there are not many jumpers on this planet, and there are not many large Zerg left..."
"Besides, the Zerg Queen has died, and tens of thousands of Zerg eggs have been destroyed. Unless there are reinforcements from space, no matter how many Zerg there are, they will be slowly consumed."
"There is no way there can be a second queen on this planet, so the next battle will be a true annihilation. In order to seize this strategically important planet, they are willing to sacrifice the lives of millions of people, let alone 200,000."
"The conflict between two civilizations cannot be resolved in just a few years, but it doesn't even take 16 years for humans to grow from infants to being able to fight on the battlefield. In fact, humans are also a race with strong reproductive capacity."
After Yukino spoke a lot, she suddenly paused, "I didn't analyze these, but the commander told me. His reasons are very sufficient and reasonable. I can't refute them... Compared to this, do you know what our next mission is? Secondary."
"A secondary...task?" Kasumigaoka Utaha was stunned for a moment, then she understood what Yukinoshita meant.
Since she is a newcomer, her brain has not been developed, her body has not been activated, and she cannot use the bracelet. The observer's reminder will only sound once in her mind. But Kasumigaoka was too sleepy before, so when she fell asleep, the side quest had entered the final stage.
"not sure what it is?"
Yukino slowly stood up, wrote something on the paper again, and then dragged her tired body towards the bathroom.
As she walked, she said, "Su Xiang is still somewhat useful. At least he is in charge of operations. Even if he is stupid, he is still useful. In fact, most of the time he is discussing countermeasures with the commander... He can put aside his prejudice and 'forgive' my previous indifference to him. This mentality is quite commendable."
"Let's solve that problem after I finish my shower. It's about time."
Yukino suddenly said in a satisfied tone: "I don't eat much, two puddings are just enough to fill me up. They're delicious and I'm in a good mood."
The bathroom door closed, and the faint sound of water could be heard from inside. Kasumigaoka Utaha's heartbeat, which had finally calmed down, started beating violently again.
This woman Yukinoshita... has been acting, acting all the time! From the moment she boarded this flagship, she has not taken off her disguise until now, and Kasumigaoka has been practicing with her all the time.
Even Kasumigaoka Utaha herself couldn't tell the truth from the conversation just now, and didn't know what she meant.
So, Kasumigaoka moved the stack of documents in front of herself, turned over a corner of the first one, paused, and her charming pupils suddenly shrank to the size of a needle tip!
There was a tiny nut in the crack of the white paper, the size of a melon seed. The nut was plump and translucent, and it made people appetizing at first sight... This was the small nut that was mixed in the pudding just now.
Thinking back, the burgers delivered by the logistics department were also like this? The bread was densely covered with nuts instead of sesame seeds?
However, when the nut was cut open, the inside was not the same flesh as the outer shell, but disgusting mucus like thick water. This small nut was cut neatly into two parts, just like a flea that had sucked enough blood...
