Life as a mercenary turned into a girl is a bit difficult

call……

"?!"

The figure that was still solid just now turned into a cloud of smoke again just before hitting the ground. It fluttered lightly on the ground and gradually faded away. The figure of the attacker could still be seen, but just a few seconds later, the attacker However, he strangely reappeared from the black smoke that was about to dissipate, and successfully hid behind the bunker formed by the support pillars of the platform.

What they saw from the night vision goggles shocked every Orfanto soldier. Almost everyone thought it was an hallucination they had in a highly stressful environment, but it was possible that everyone had the same hallucination at the same time. Sex is really too low.

"Witch! That's the witch! Concentrate your fire and don't let her get close!"

It was also at this moment that the commander before the battle suddenly remembered such an existence. Although he had never seen it with his own eyes, the fear in the eyes of the instructor who had narrowly escaped death at the hands of the witch in the military academy when he talked about the witch would always be with him. It’s a scene I can’t forget.

Witches are powerful. They possess various powers that are difficult for ordinary humans to match and cannot be understood with current technology. Their beautiful and delicate faces are indifferent or cruel to all life around them.

'Quickly judge its abilities and adapt to all battlefield circumstances. Any sacrifice for trial and error is acceptable, and any new discovery about the witch is worth retaining. '

This is a sentence that every student must keep in mind: Continuous trial and error, continuous accumulation when facing strange enemies, and doing everything possible to leave information to the latter before death. This is the only way for humans to deal with all unknown dangers. Effective means are also Ofanto's greatest reliance on rising in the crisis-ridden wasteland.

Those black smoke...is that the witch's ability?

"Open some surveillance videos in the platform! Everyone remains alert and must use firepower to suppress the target at a distance!" As he spoke, the combat commander turned on the recording device hanging on his arm. He will perform his duties, "Target The identity of the witch is unknown, and her appearance features a black windbreaker, a black scythe, the length of the scythe is about two meters, and black smoke... The specific function is temporarily unknown..."

"Three o'clock! She's approaching!"

A soldier suddenly captured the enemy's figure, but the speed of protecting the target with the help of the bunker was too fast. When his voice fell, the opponent had already rushed quite close to the position. Ofanto's side did not dare to continue. Shot, because the support pillars used as shelters by the targets were bearing the weight of the second-floor platform under their feet.

Logically speaking, there shouldn't be such a big defensive flaw in Ofanto's position during the home battle, but today, due to the task of transporting supplies, all the defensive positions on the platform were removed, and the commander-in-chief is preparing to explore the pre-war ruins underground. Some of the troops here have been mobilized, not to mention that no one expected that the opponent they faced could not even catch up with the speed of bullets.

After firing a few shots in vain to obstruct it, everyone knew that a close battle was inevitable. "Get out of the way!" Two soldiers wearing exoskeleton mechas stood in the front row, and for a moment, they were the core. The combat team has been formed.

"Get out of the way!"

"call--"

"Boom boom boom!!!"

The huge scythe that flew rapidly fell among the soldiers of Ofanto. Although the soldiers of Ofanto who evaded the warning in time did not cause any casualties, it also disrupted the formation of the team. The black figure followed closely behind, and the attacker Effortlessly climbing up the second-floor corridor several meters high, the body that was constantly rolling grabbed the end of the scythe's handle in mid-air and once again brought up a death moon wheel with an exaggerated attack range.

But this time, two soldiers who had no time to dodge far enough away were touched by the moon wheel. They obviously wanted to lift their feet to escape, but their bodies showed no response. Only when their eyes dropped did they notice that the other half of their bodies were separated from themselves.

If someone turned off the night vision device at this time, they would definitely see a pair of glowing scarlet pupils under the attacker's hood, which looked extremely dazzling against the dark environment.

Chapter 66 Black smoke is coming 3

"Ah ah ah ah ah!!!"

The tall figure took a few meters wide step towards the attacker, who was an Orfanto soldier wearing exoskeleton power armor.

"Clang——!!!" With a crisp sound of metal friction, a sharp and wide blade suddenly popped out from the groove below the gun in his hand, and together with the gun body, it formed a long knife-type weapon.

The attacker who had just swung a circle of the moon had no time to dodge, or she had no intention of dodge at all. Facing the oncoming blade, after being able to stabilize her body, she immediately raised the scythe in front of her.

"boom!!!"

At the moment of impact, fire burst out. In the light of this moment, the soldier wearing the exoskeleton could clearly see the childish and charming face of the attacker under the cloak. The witch with such a face turned out to be the god of death who caused countless tragedies...

Not only Orfanto's soldiers, but also the assailant's witch's face flashed with surprise. The ground beneath her feet was left with a circle of sunken cracks due to the opponent's heavy blow.

The last time I was surprised by the power of human beings was when I was fighting for the core of that unknown abandoned city in the south. Although I was seriously injured at the time, my strength alone was already beyond that of ordinary people. But this time, the human beings in front of me clearly didn't. The act of injecting a strange medicine...could this power come from the weird things he was wearing?

"call--!!!"

The roar from the rotation of the fan came from the heat dissipation air of the exoskeleton mecha. As the roar of the wind became more fierce, the witch felt that the opponent's power was also increasing rapidly. Under this, her feet were slowly submerged into the concrete. On the ground, cracks increased one after another and spread toward the surrounding area.

After realizing that the witch had been suppressed by his comrades, another soldier also wearing an exoskeleton immediately rushed to support him. Different from his comrades' weapons, the weapon in his hand was an Orfanto Infantry Military Industry Department specially designed for close combat by soldiers wearing exoskeletons. As for the developed chain saw weapon, this highly rotating chain saw can not only effectively deal with the thick armor of most monsters, but can also serve as a cutting tool in complex combat environments, so it is widely equipped in Ofanto's army.

"Die!!!", the sound of wind in the heat dissipation holes became more and more intense, and the high-temperature gas continuously sprayed out from the exhaust holes condensed into water vapor visible to the naked eye. At this time, the soldiers could no longer care about the temperature threshold of the exoskeleton's operation. , he will suppress the witch at all costs until the chain saw in the hands of the team members pierces her.

"!"

Seeing that the witch was about to be taken down by himself and his team members, the power resisting him at the other end of the blade suddenly disappeared, and the witch herself disappeared from the place, leaving only the black smoke that spread out, and there was no time to collect it. The soldier who exerted his strength fell forward due to his unstable body. At the same time, the chain saw stretched forward in the hands of his teammates who also did not react passed through the black smoke without any hindrance and headed towards the sharp blade. The other party sent it over...

"Bah——!!!"

The collision between the chain saw and the exoskeleton breastplate caused sparks and harsh sounds. Just before the chain saw completely tore the exoskeleton armor apart, the two people separated in a hurry. The soldier looked at the scars on the chest armor with fear. In order to move in the narrow underground environment in the scorching incision with white smoke, this exoskeleton was only equipped with basic light armor. If it had been another second at night, I would have died tragically in the hands of my own people.

It's so risky...eh?

He subconsciously raised his eyes to look at his teammates, but suddenly found that the other party was staring at him in shock. At some point, a huge curved blade pierced his body and the exoskeleton armor on his chest until the blade was drawn out. The dark red blood just surged out from the wound.

The body without any struggle fell down together with the powered exoskeleton.

when? !

The witch who disappeared on the spot appeared behind his teammates at some point, and without him noticing at all, he attacked his teammates... In fear and anger, he wanted to raise the weapon in his hand and attack the witch. But soon he found that he could not lift the weapon at all.

what happened?Why did I...become so weak?

The black smoke surrounding him became thicker and thicker, and he suddenly noticed something: it was those strange smoke... But even if he wanted to escape from the smoke at this time, he was powerless, and his weak body could not even stand. It becomes gradually difficult.

Where is the commander?What about the other team members?How long will it take for support to arrive...

These questions became the thoughts that flashed through his mind at the last moment before the witch swung her sword. The witch stepped past these human corpses and followed the long-lost 'smell' into the corridor.

……

found it! ! !

His luck seemed to have bottomed out. First, the sudden alarm blocked the sound of these supply boxes falling to the ground. The giant mechas outside the window were already running non-stop towards the outside under the control of the driver. Then he couldn't help himself. Reporter expectedly opened a supply box and actually discovered that it contained medical supplies.

A large amount of white mist was released the moment the supply box was opened. It came from dry ice that acted as a refrigerant. In addition to the dry ice, it was a glass tube carrying a light blue liquid.

Although they spoke with obvious accents, the words used by Yuanfedong and Ofanto were the same. Hiiragi quickly confirmed from the label information that these medicines had anti-pollution effects. Although he did not know whether they could be effective against severe pollution, I can't control that much now.

I don't know what happened to the alarm that suddenly sounded just now, but it is definitely not a small matter to have so many mechas dispatched at once. I must go back as soon as possible to find a way to close the position.

He took a few tubes of medicine and put it on his belt, and hurriedly evacuated before even the unconscious porter who had fallen to the ground could deal with it.

"Alert, there are unknown attackers breaking in from the main entrance. The combat team that received the order immediately rushed to reinforce! The non-combatants immediately went to the nearest shelter to wait..."

The radio located inside the base kept repeating this information, which provided great convenience to Hiiragi. There was a figure in the corridor that turned back. The scattered papers and chores on the ground showed that people were evacuating in a hurry. There was no need to enter the danger. Hiding in the ventilation duct, the speed of returning to the prison cell was more than a little faster than before.

But when she approached the direction of the prison cell, a vague smell of blood made her suddenly feel something bad, and her pace immediately accelerated. The moment she crossed the iron gate, an Orfanto soldier fell in a pool of blood. The picture catches the eye.

He was the soldier in charge of custody.

Not only that, the cell where the two nomads were imprisoned was actually opened, and the door of the cell where Ping Cang stayed on the other side was also ajar.

what happened? !

“Close position!!!”

Hiiragi pushed open the cell door, and there was no one in the room...

Chapter 67 Locals

After closing the position, he disappeared... The scene before her eyes made Hiiragi's scalp numb, but she soon suppressed her anxiety and forced herself to regain her composure.

There are no signs that the cell door lock has been forcibly broken. If you look closely, you can see that there seem to be fine scratches and metal shavings remaining around the keyhole, as if it was... pried open?

Before becoming a mercenary, Hiiragi had been wandering in the wasteland. In human settlements of various sizes, she survived for a long time by cuddling with many street children of similar age who had lost their loved ones like her. , and their way of life is maintained by sliding doors and picking locks to steal food. Although she has always been responsible for the role of sentry, she has never used it, but the traces left by this kind of mechanical lock cylinder being pried by foreign objects are closely related to her memory. Excellent fit.

Having already seen the skill of closing a position and connecting a circuit to start a rail transport vehicle, it is not surprising that he also mastered the skill of picking a lock.

But since he broke the lock and went out on his own, what was his purpose?He must know that he will come back, so what makes him not care about it?

Hiiragi's eyes couldn't help but turn to another cell, which was the cell where nomads were once held.Different from Heipang's, the nomads' cell door locks were severely damaged. The black traces of burning gunpowder exuded a distinctive smell of sulfur. There was also a deformed bullet case on the ground. It seemed that they had caused the damage by hitting the bullet primer with external force. The explosion broke the lock on the cell door.

The only reason Hiiragi could think of that made Heng Cang leave before he had time to wait for him was the two nomads. The only thing that was certain was that judging from his character, Heng Cang was definitely not someone who deserted him for the sake of these two. Reasons like nomads’ revenge…

Looking for someone... looking for someone again... first Ruoxiang and then closing the position...

"Is... is there anyone? What happened outside?" Just when Hiiragi Jing was still having a headache about how to find a way to close his position, a low and hoarse voice suddenly came from the cell door next to him, "I want to see the Duke. I really won’t say a word more…”

There are other people locked up here? !

Hiiragi was slightly surprised. This prison area was very small, with only three or four detention cells. During the short period of detention, he only heard the noise of the nomads in the next cell, so he preconceived that there were only the four of them here. Just outsiders from the Southern Federation.

"who are you?"

Hiiragi slowly walked to the cell door where the sound came from and opened the small window on the door to peer into the dark cell. Faced with the sudden question, the people in the cell were obviously stunned for a moment. I didn't expect that what I had repeated my hope for countless times before would actually get a response at this time, and I didn't expect that what he got in exchange was an unexpected question, and... this voice sounded like a very young woman. ?

"I..." After a moment of hesitation, the voice in the cell responded, "I am Button Mans... one of the leaders of this autonomous territory, the leader personally appointed by the Duke..."

Bouton?Dominion chief?Lord Duke?There are some unintelligible words again, which makes Hiiragi even more anxious. At this moment, this local who can finally communicate peacefully and obtain basic information is particularly important to Hiiragi.

In her excitement, Hiiragi even felt troubled by groping for the guard's body to find the key. The vitality and excitement deep in her body that had been treated with the active agent had nowhere to vent. The iron sheet covering the cell door in front of her was covered with rust. Corroded and broken boards were exposed beneath the missing sections.

"Stay away from the cell door."

After giving a warning, Hiiragi turned around and kicked out.

boom! ! !

Countless debris fell around the vibrating cell door, and there were signs of looseness at the connection between the door panel and the wall. There was also a clear footprint from Hiiragi on the rusty wooden door wrapped in iron, and the excitement accelerated. The blood flow also made the effect of the activation potion more intense. Hiiragi, whose momentum was still unabated, turned around and kicked again. The shaky cell door fell completely with a loud collision.

"boom!!!"

In the dark corner behind the rising dust, a thin old man looked at the door panel just a few steps away from him with a stunned expression. When he noticed the figure standing at the door, the shock on his face gradually turned to shock. It was a girl, a little girl who was not even an adult, standing opposite the door. He couldn't believe that Hiiragi Jing was the destroyer of this cell door.

"Buton?" The small window through which she spied was too narrow, and there was no light in the cell. It was impossible to see anything at all. Only then did Hiei Jing see Buton's true appearance. She originally thought that the hoarse voice just now should come from an elderly man. The old man did not expect that the other party was much younger than he expected.

This is a strong man in his 40s. He is very tall. Even when he is sitting on the ground, he is the same height as the standing Hiiragi. However, he is a little thinner and his eye sockets are sunken. He looks depressed. It had been quite some time, and even the faint light that shone into the cell made him squint his eyes unbearably.

"Can you still stand up?" Hiei Jing asked as he took out a stick of energy paste that he had hurriedly brought out from the supplies and threw it into the other person's arms. If he had eaten compressed dry food for so long, he would need these energy supplements to act normally. It is very necessary.

"You are……"

"Hiiragi, after accidentally entering here, I was imprisoned here just like you." Hiiragi didn't reveal too much. She even wanted to replace her name with a code name, but think about it in this unfamiliar place. There seems to be no need to do so.

Hiiragi Jing was not in a hurry to ask questions, but waited patiently for the other party to finish swallowing the energy ointment before starting to ask questions: "Buton... Mance, right? Listen to what kind of leader you are. Since you are an official of Ofanto, why? Are you being held here too?"

"Why..." Buton, who had moistened his throat, also regained some strength, and couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard Hiiragi's question, "Because, because I know this place..."

"Know this place?" Is it because of this?

"Because this is the territory of my clan that was requisitioned, I know the location here, and I also participated in the construction here, so I know the layout here. Not only me, but my clan members have also been reduced to slave labor, even if I don't know this What is hidden underneath..." Perhaps because he said so many words at once, Buton was a little out of breath.

Know the layout here!

This was a big deal, and Hiei Jing was immediately happy. With such a living map, at least he no longer had to guess his location as hard as before.

"Is there... a red light outside?" Bouton, who was leaning against the wall, slowly stood up. After adapting to the light, he immediately noticed the bright red light outside the cell.

"That's a warning. The radio says someone seems to have broken in."

"Someone... broke in?" No matter how much Bouton hated this place, he knew clearly that this place was very heavily guarded. From the first day he discovered this place, all the settlements within a dozen miles of it were forcibly relocated. Under unified management, and even the Duke's personal guards were mobilized, he would never forget the oppressive feeling of those pitch-black humanoid mechas.

Are those clans unwilling to cooperate?Seeking an independent city-state?Or are the northerners coming?

"Um... Hiiragi, Hiiragi-sama?"

Hiiragi-sama?Hiiragi Jing's expression suddenly became extremely strange. This was the first time she heard someone call herself that. The twisted name made her immediately testify: "Don't call me Sir, just call me Hiiragi Jing. If you can, walk faster." , I still have a lot of questions about this.”

"Oh, okay...ok, Hiiragi, which city-state are you from? Or are you from the north...an officer?" Buton carefully asked Hiiragi's identity, and Hiiragi did not hide anything, "I I'm not from the Ofanto side, I'm from the south, a place called the Southern Commonwealth..."

"South?" Buton's expression suddenly became extremely shocked, and his facial features were extended far more exaggeratedly than before, "There...are there people in the south?!"

Chapter 68 The second defeat

"puff……"

A blood flower bloomed again on the path traced by the blood sickle. The human in front of him dropped the weapon in his hand and held the cut throat tightly with both hands, but it was all in vain for the blood that continued to surge out of the wound. Struggling, the soldier leaning against the wall slowly slid to the ground, and the breath of life disappeared.

Seeing that the last of the attackers was beheaded, marking another round of attacks being repelled, the tyrant breathed a sigh of relief and shook off the sticky blood coating the blade, sputtering out a semicircle on the ground around him. He reached out to tear off the cloth of the corpse and replaced the straps on the handle of the blood scythe that had been soaked with blood and became extremely slippery. There were several times when the blood scythe almost slipped from his hand at critical moments in the battle. Fortunately, he always Being able to end the battle at a critical moment, the black smoke covering the whole body seemed a little thinner than before, and the flow of smoke seemed to be no longer active.

As she goes deeper into the complex and narrow passage terrain and the continuous emergence of enemies, her fighting is no longer so easy. She must always beware of attacks from various mechanisms hidden deep inside the walls, but the tyrant cannot stop. The existence in the deepest part of this underground building summoned her extremely strongly...

"!"

Just after wrapping the dry cloth around the long handle of the sickle a few times, the sound of rapid footsteps came again in his ears. The tyrant knew that the enemy's monitoring equipment was everywhere here. Although the black mist could interfere with it, it could not. Only within your own surroundings, even if you cannot directly monitor yourself, you can still know your location through the interfered equipment.

He casually tore off the extra strips of cloth, and the annoyed tyrant set up his sickle and entered the fighting posture again.

Clang!

With a crisp sound, several projectiles flew towards this side from the end of the corridor.
