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

"Kiss her petals..." Hiei Jing subconsciously read out the content in the title of the book in the center of the picture...

"boom!!!"

Before she could finish reading all the words in the book's title, a fist fell from the sky and destroyed everything in front of her. Centered at the point of impact, the desk that contained advanced pre-war technology was completely destroyed into a pile of fragments, and a large number of electronic parts were scattered. Splash, arc flash on exposed wiring.

Even if she is not a witch who is good at fighting like Pollock and Irene, at this moment Custer has fully demonstrated her physique as a witch that far exceeds that of ordinary people.The frightened Hiiragi twisted her stiff neck to look at the owner of the fist. The smile on Custer's face was still gentle, but at this moment, Hiiragi felt an inexplicable chill.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

"Where did the attack come from?"

Poluk and Irene, who were wandering around the office because they were already bored with the boring search process, hurried over, holding sickles and long knives in their hands to prepare for any possible emergencies.

"No... nothing..."

Custer, who had already retracted his fist, maintained a smile without changing his expression, as if everything he had just done was just an illusion: "This terminal has a self-destruction function. Maybe it was triggered by improper operation?"

"Right, benefactor?"

The title of Hiiragi Jing was once again changed back to benefactor. The inquiring gaze sent to her made Hiiragi Jing shiver unconsciously. She was so busy that she was afraid that she would make any move that would make Castor think he was hesitant. : "Yes, it's self-destruction! I did it improperly! It's all my fault!"

"Huh——?" Poluk, who had already regarded Hiiragi as a member of Irene's group, once again used her ability to deliberately exaggerate and ridicule, "Why are you so clumsy? What if there is some important information in there that you haven't found? ?”

"I'm sorry, it's all my fault! It's all my fault!"

"Okay, okay, don't blame her. I've actually finished reading the information..."

Unexpectedly, Hiiragi's attitude of admitting her mistake was so straightforward, leaving no room for the rhetoric that Poluk had prepared. Feeling bored and coupled with her sister's defense, Poluk had no choice but to snort and continue to wander elsewhere. Irene cast a questioning look at Hiiragi Jing.

"It's okay, I'm okay, I was just scared, go play, I'm okay."

It didn't look like everything was okay. Irene glanced at the two of them suspiciously but walked away obediently. Seeing this scene, Castor beside him was obviously relieved, and his eyes were a little more grateful. : "Hiiragi..."

"Don't worry, I didn't see anything!" Before Custer could say anything, Hiiragi had already taken the initiative to make a promise. It could be seen that Custer was particularly satisfied with Hiiragi's performance and soothed Hiiragi gently. Jing's head seemed to be uncovering all the pages just now.

Chapter No.16 The contract is established

"Um, I'm sorry, so what do you mean..." After a slight hesitation, Hiiragi Jing asked cautiously. It wasn't that she didn't hear clearly, but the importance of the meaning expressed in Castor's words just now made her aware. Had to confirm again and again.

Custer did not express any impatience. He nodded slightly and repeated what he just said word for word: "We lost all our memories. Before you came, we lived in isolation from the world. Life, even though it has awakened now, the future is still confused. We know nothing about this world..."

"So until we find the truth about the witch and this world, can Poluk and I stay with you?"

Do they want to follow me?

Such a request is not surprising, as Custer himself said that they knew nothing about this wasteland world, and although Hiiragi Jing was not subjective, the person who actually rescued them expressed a kind attitude, and also Having the same identity as a 'witch' is undoubtedly more believable than an ordinary human being.

Hiiragi Jing was of course very happy about Custer's request to follow.

These are two witches, and one of them even has a fighting power that is not weaker than the tyrant Irene. As for Castor, aside from the unexpectedly dangerous side just now, she always treats others with a gentle attitude. It's extremely healing, having her by your side during the journey brings the same comfort to your body and mind.

This gives Hiiragi Jing a little more security when walking in the territory of Ofanto in the future. Including Ruoxiang, there are a total of four witches, no matter where they are placed, they are an extremely sensational team, even with the confrontation A small regular army is not a problem either.

But Hiiragi didn't agree immediately but fell into thinking. The benefits of accepting the Windsor sisters were obvious, but the hidden dangers brought by the identity of the 'witch' were no less than the benefits. After such a long period of special experience, she His way of thinking has also become more mature than when he was a mercenary.

Can she really restrain these witches?Hiiragi believed that neither Poluk nor Custer were the kind of cruel witches who were hostile to murderous witches, and those humans lost in dreams were not what Custer subjectively wanted to see. At least they were friendlier than Irene. Too much.

What connects her and Custer is the kindness of saving each other, and she and Poluk need Custer to establish a connection...

"I understand..." Hiiragi nodded without immediately agreeing, "I will go to the so-called airspace ruins to explore the truth about the witch at some time in the future after everything is ready..."

Castor smiled and nodded. As smart as she was, she knew that this was a promise given to her by Hiiragi, a promise that she cared about the most and solemnly. This promise was the one that truly connected their relationship closely.

"So... I hope you can... follow my arrangements as much as possible in the next actions. Of course, I will not force you to do anything you don't like, nor will I use my so-called kindness as a threat. Chips...can I?"

"Hey! It's an honor for you that my sister is willing to follow you. Don't be disrespectful... Wow!"

Castor reached out from his sleeves and showed his fist. Poluk immediately stopped talking and squatted down with his head in his hands, ignoring his sister's disturbance. Castor's eyes looking at Hiiragi became brighter and brighter, unfolding all reality without blurring and processing. Although they had known each other for only half a day, Custer completely recognized Hiiragi at this time. If Hiiragi really agreed, she would still have doubts.

"Thank you for your integrity and frankness, I promise you..."

After speaking, Custer turned to look at Poluk. Poluk, who understood what his sister meant, reluctantly pouted, "Huh... If you make any excessive demands on your sister, I won't be polite... …”

The contract is reached!

Even if he already believes that he is also a witch, Hiiragi still can't deny that he is more inclined to humans in mentality. The life experience of more than ten years is not fake. It was an important age for him to form his self-awareness, and he has become like this. Compared to just a few months, it was still too long to change her body, and in her heart she still looked forward to the day when she could change back again.

After the final examination, Hiiragi Jing and others officially left this 'Southern Atonement Education'. This made Poluk, who had stayed here for who knows how many years to accompany his sister after waking up, a little excited. After all, compared with his sleeping sister, She was more like a real prisoner.

As for the secret code of the Information Team of the Promotion Association, Hiiragi has already checked it: unfortunately, there are no useful findings. Perhaps the illusion in the prison scared away the liaison officer who originally planned to go to the code location to leave a message, or maybe the kingdom The trap written by the secret agent at random only caused the plan to go bankrupt because of the existence of the illusion.

No matter what, it was of great significance to receive the help of the two witches. With them by his side, Hiiragi Shizune did not have the slightest worry even when walking on the dangerous mountain road between the jungles.

Without the caravans along the way to provide hitchhiking opportunities, the return trip back to Vibus Town would take a lot longer than the journey here. In addition to the time spent in prison, the sky had already turned dark before we had gone very far. It dimmed.

In fact, it wouldn't be much of a problem to walk all night with their team, but after spending a whole day in prison, and the exhaustion gradually getting worse as time went by after turning into a black liquid, Hiiragi finally made a decision. The decision to camp.

Prop up the oilcloth against the guardrail on the roadside, and sprinkle a circle of insect repellent powder directly on the road. The terrain for making a fire here is dry and flat, and it also saves the trouble of clearing open spaces and fire breaks. As for safety...don't they have witches? ?

Jumping flames quickly rose in the firewood pile in the middle of the four people sitting around. Hiiragi opened her luggage and distributed the food she carried to everyone. These were supplies provided by Man to her and Irene. After all, they were providing catering services. The food in the pub is quite good in terms of variety and taste.

The salt content of the dried meat is just right, and the aroma of the fat after roasting is fully brought out. The wheat-flavored pancakes are moderately soft and hard, and the dried fruits are also used as sweet supplements. Even if they are all foods that have been compromised for the purpose of storage, they can be It's not too bad in taste.

Especially for Poluk, for many years she could only rely on the same compressed biscuits and military cans to satisfy her hunger. The occasional game she caught was always only used to 'maintain vital signs' due to insufficient cooking skills. Compare These foods are truly delicacies.

"Uh... cough, cough, cough! Water... water!" Seeing the way Poluk puffed up his cheeks and suddenly choked on the food, Hiiragi handed over the water bottle that was already on hand. In fact, seeing the way the other person was devouring it, Hiiragi Jing then expected that it was only a matter of time before this scene happened.

The witch who was choked to death... just thinking about it makes me happy.

"War...are humans still at war?"

While enjoying the bonfire dinner, Hiiragi Shizuya explained to Castelpoluk and the two about what she had learned about the current situation in Ofanto. The war between the Advancement Association and Ofanto still seemed to be the theme of this land. .

Custer looked melancholy, saying that she didn't like fighting in the first place, while Poluk chewed heartlessly. This kind of thing had nothing to do with herself or her sister.

Hiiragi Jing also introduced them to the Southern Federation. Unlike the Ofanto Community, which she had just finished talking about in a few words, she was very familiar with the Southern Federation. After learning that their way back was blocked by Ofanto's guards, Custer gave Her opinion: "Humanity's current understanding is definitely not the original appearance of this land. The abandoned city is just a city in the pre-war world. Even if pollution is added, it is impossible to completely isolate the two places. There must be other places with the south. The place bordering the Federation..."

"The political entity of the Ofanto Community is essentially the large and small nobles who are enfeoffed in various places. The political entity of the Southern Federation is also the human base of various places. These places have great autonomy in their own affairs. Perhaps in other places, the two already have There was a considerable degree of contact, but they were unwilling to make this communication public."

"As expected of Custer! The noble lady is just extraordinary."

"There is no such thing as a young lady...just some superficial opinions..."

This compliment made Custer's face turn slightly red and a little embarrassed. Although the other noble lady could not understand what the two were talking about, she still proudly raised her head to Eileen who was standing aside. From Tyrant His ignorance destined this to be an unobjectionable move.

Custer's words made Hiiragi's eyes light up, and it undoubtedly opened up a new way of thinking for her. To be honest, there were many people around her, but she only felt enlightened when she talked with Custer. Irene's words Don't even think about it. It's very rare to take the initiative to speak. Ruoxiang is limited by the time she was imprisoned. Perhaps she is used to living a life of dependence and obedience. She rarely has her own opinions, and more often she just obeys. .

In fact, Hiiragi Jing has already thought about it. The jungle in this autonomous region is actually the same as the western jungle of the Southern Federation. However, he can't do anything even if he knows it. The harsh jungle environment is no different from Tianzhe. The difficult place is not only the mutant beasts. Mosquitoes, diseases, terrain, directions, fresh water, etc. cannot even be crossed by a witch. So what if we go east along the edge of the abandoned city?What would that look like?

Realizing that there is more than one way to return to his hometown, his heart, which had been surrounded by confusion, gradually relaxed. Hiiragi, who was feeling sleepy after the dinner, was the first to lie down on the ground unable to hold on. Caster once again took the initiative to ask for help. The knee pillow service was provided. In order to pursue sleep quality or other pursuits, Hiiragi did not refuse. The very angry Poluk made an awkward fuss and ran to the corner next to the guardrail angrily. Irene once again took it as a matter of course. Take on the task of night vigilance.

Nothing happened in the quiet first half of the night, except for the occasional crackling sound of firewood in the flames. She was dazed and didn't know how long it had been before she was suddenly shaken awake by a slight force. She did not enter a deep sleep, but she quickly regained consciousness.

"What happened?" The night above the head was still dark, so this was the only possibility.

"The wind smells of blood." Poluk and Irene said this in unison.

Chapter No.17 The tide of zombies appears

The smell of blood?

Hiiragi sniffed subconsciously, and she didn't smell anything except the charcoal smell from the fire. Of course, she would not question the judgment given by two witches who specialize in combat perception.

After taking a nap, most of the fatigue was gone, and there was no reason to continue lying down. Everyone quickly picked up the traces of the camping and finally doused the last sparks in the fire with river water before embarking on the return journey at night.

The dense dark clouds covered the moon tightly, and there was no illumination from the moonlight to truly explain what it means to be "invisible".The battery of the flashlight didn't last long, and there were only a few torches that really provided light. The visibility was only a few meters in front of them, so the team moved very slowly.

The night wind blew away the heat of the day, and at the same time brought a strange smell that was incompatible with the ordinary air. After traveling for about ten minutes, Hiiragi and Custer could clearly smell the scent of blood.

what happened?

The question was quickly answered. A pool of blood was gradually solidified in the blur of shadow and light at the edge of the area illuminated by the torch. The source of the blood was also completely illuminated - it was an ordinary blue camel. , the mutilated body was penetrated by several rough spears of different shapes, and the original cargo was scattered on the ground.

Going further, I saw the second and third ones...not just camels but also human corpses. A total of seven camels and twelve human corpses were scattered along the road at my feet for more than 100 meters. Look. It looked like a small-scale caravan that had been attacked. The goods were not taken away. Without exception, they were all killed by spears and stones. In fact, at the first sight of these familiar weapons, Hiiragi Jinghe Erin then confirmed the identity of the murderer.

Those monster walking corpses... But it was so late in the day that only witches like them had the confidence to rely on them. How could this small caravan of only a dozen people appear unexpectedly?

"There's breathing!"

Irene suddenly blurted out, then turned over and jumped off the road to the river beach. Hiiragi Jing and others quickly held up torches to provide light for Irene below. They saw a man covered in blood in front of Irene. He was lying in the weeds with half a spear in his abdomen.

"Is it you? What happened?"

Hiiragi recognized this person's identity. Wasn't he the leader of the caravan that took them along during the day?She quickly jumped down and took out the tourniquet from her bag, but her movements became hesitant when she saw the huge wound caused by the half spear. This was not an injury that a tourniquet could handle.

The caravan leader who fell into semi-consciousness struggled to open his eyes. After recognizing the faces of Hiiragi and Irene under the torch, his breathing suddenly became rapid. He gasped for air while trying to squeeze out the syllables from his throat: "Oh... we ...Vibus...stationed..."

"...ho...call for help...there are many monsters...the town is dangerous..."

The sound of air leakage due to the missing front teeth mixed with the bubbles squeezed out of the blood made it difficult to identify, but Hiiragi still heard what he wanted to express: Vibus Town was attacked by many monsters!Many prosperous human strongholds in the wasteland world were destroyed by attacks from large-scale monster swarms. This is definitely the most dangerous disaster that human strongholds face.

The tourniquet in his hand was replaced by a toothpaste-shaped analgesic that was only about the size of a knuckle. This small amount of analgesic was extremely precious. Even Man only gave them one, and Hiiragi used it on the leader without hesitation. On the body, seeing the leader's breathing calm down and becoming weaker and weaker, leaving without enduring the pain is the only thing Hiiragi can do at the moment.

"quick!"

Ruoxiang!

……

Forced by the doctor to drink the last bowl of soup of the day, Ruoxiang returned to the room and read the books in the tavern out of boredom. The content of the book was actually about the brewing and flavor introduction of different bottles of wine, not that She suddenly became interested in this drink because of the atmosphere of the tavern, but there was really nothing for her to spend time with.

She couldn't leave the tavern due to safety concerns. After all, the security environment in the town was not very good. There were several bartender sisters who came to play with her during the day, but they had to be busy with work at night.

Whenever she is bored, Ruoxiang will always think of the days when she was still in Changming City. At that time, she would always look forward to getting rid of the confinement of the spotlight and the spotlight and starting a new life, and then have unlimited beautiful fantasies about the future, but when When everything really happens, it is completely different from fantasy.

Of course she didn't miss the comfortable big bed and luxurious meals, but she didn't expect that her escape would involve so many innocent people, nor did she expect that the nomads' actions would be so extreme. If Hiiragi hadn't intruded... Nothing will change, it's like fate...

Thinking of this, Ruoxiang couldn't help but look out the window. Although Man said Hiiragi and the others wouldn't be back until tomorrow at the earliest, Ruoxiang still couldn't help but wonder about what she saw out of the window all day long.

However, what she saw this time was not as peaceful as ever. The firelight and noisy shouts that kept running on the street made Ruoxiang vaguely feel that something was wrong.

'rinse--'

Suddenly, a series of indirect flares were launched from the watchtower beside the wall and flew high into the sky. The sudden light illuminated a large area outside Vibus Town. Ruoxiang's pupils shrank slightly, because she could see at a glance from her height. A large number of withered zombies were seen gathering on the outskirts of Vibus Town, and the dense tide of zombies completely surrounded the town.

This scene exposed to the light completely caused a commotion among the guards in the town. The caravans stationed outside the wall approached the gate of the wall in panic. The livestock herds regarded as important assets were dispersed in various ways. The zombies fled in the direction of the tide, intending to draw some of the attention of these walking corpses. After all, saving life is the most critical at this moment.

However, to everyone's surprise, they did not pay the slightest attention to these fleeing livestock corpses. They just allowed them to knock down the zombies one by one and rush towards the outside. Everyone's faces became extremely ugly. This is definitely not true. An ordinary zombie tide, but a commanded zombie tide.

Everyone knows what that means.

The discovered corpse wave did not launch an attack, but stayed quietly in place, and the herdsmen on the periphery were able to successfully access the fence. After all, at this moment, one more person means more strength, not only the people in their city but also the people in the city. They were gathered together, distributed weapons and then formed into teams and rushed to the wall. Perhaps the town restored order after the brief chaos after the long-term practice. There is a reason why Vibus Town can exist in the wasteland to this day.

"Ruoxiang!"

The door to the room was suddenly pushed open, and Milang, who was carrying a shotgun, walked into the room quickly and said in a hurry: "Instructions from the landlady, go to the bridge of Hexin Island. She will wait for you there."

Chapter 18 Battle to defend the town

"Ruoxiang!"

From a distance, he saw Man waving in this direction. Accompanied by several bartender sisters, Ruoxiang quickly arrived at the place mentioned by Miran.

"Ho...Man..."

"Don't force yourself to speak. Come with me." Man led everyone to the guards stationed at the bridge. "Send them over. The administrator has already said hello."

"What about you, Boss Man?" Seeing that Man didn't seem to have any intention of crossing the bridge at this time, the guard couldn't help but ask.

"There are still some elderly people with handicapped legs and feet on the way. I will pick them up."

"But..." The guard glanced at Ruoxiang and the bartenders in confusion, "The administrator said that Hexin Island only protects people related to the tavern."

"They are customers of the tavern, why is it irrelevant?"

Man was about to refute, but when she saw what the guard wanted to say, she spoke again: "Jie! Grandma Shasuo and the others watched you grow up! It's because you have lived a comfortable life on Hexin Island for too long, and you have forgotten that you are What's your identity?"

Jie, who was scolded in person, lowered his head in shame for a moment. He did not become angry and angry. It seemed that he had not completely forgotten his bottom line. After saying hello in a hurry, Man disappeared behind the house.

Man... Ruoxiang looked worriedly into the distance. The fire there could already cross the wall and bring some light to the town. This sudden monster attack made her even more eager to see Hiiragi Jing and Irene.

I don’t know what is happening to them now...

"Let's go, Ruoxiang." The familiar bartender took Ruoxiang's hand and walked towards Hexin Island under the leadership of the guard.

……
