Offer a savior to the infinite world!

"Hey?"

Jianzi, who had not yet reacted to what was happening, was unable to answer Lin Yi's question for a while.

"I mean, that thing that I can't see but you can see, that has been following you, is it still chasing us?"

Slowing down the car a little, Lin Yi looked back at the girl who was still a little frightened with tears in the corners of her eyes and asked again.

Having said that, this girl looks so cute when she's about to cry. I kind of want to touch her head.

Not to mention the random thoughts in Lin Yi's mind, after hearing clearly what the other party said, Jianzi finally reacted. He quickly turned around and looked in the direction of the entrance of the community he had just left.

The twisted and disordered limbs were intertwined and struggling in the community. The blown head seemed to have brought great pain to the thing. Until now, it has not come out of the community to chase her, so it is generally safe.

"No... I didn't catch up. Um, do you know those things?"

Jianzi breathed a sigh of relief, and then suddenly realized that the man who pulled him onto the motorcycle was most likely the one who had just smashed the head of that thing, so he quickly asked, not even caring about the awkwardness of the two of them being pressed together.

"Yes, that's right. Judging from the direction of your eyes, that thing should have been facing you with its face, right? Did I hit its head with that shot just now? How was the effect? ​​Did it kill it?"

Lin Yi drove his motorcycle through the road littered with damaged cars and answered Jianzi's questions in a calm tone.

The effect was quite good. The head of that thing burst like a balloon when hit, and exploded right in front of her. There were red, white and all kinds of colors. The visual effect was so strong that Jianzi felt that she might not be able to eat watermelon in the next few years.

But then again, this area...

Yotsuya Miko, who finally had time to observe her surroundings at this moment, saw a world in decline, like the end of the world.

The streets were deserted, with only pieces of clothing and shoes scattered on the ground.

Cars crashed into roadside shops and walls, or collided with each other and fell to pieces on the road, as did various bicycles and motorcycles.

The shops were always deserted whether they were open or closed. There was not a single person to be seen and everything was empty.

Where has everyone gone?

Why can't I see anyone around except the man in front of me?

Why is it so dead silent here?

"Is there anything around here that only you can see?"

Lin Yi asked again at this time.

"Um... no, no."

The girl, who had experienced too much excitement, had not lost her mind. After Lin Yi asked, she quickly looked around. After confirming that there was indeed nothing scary nearby, she shook her head and said to Lin Yi.

So the next moment Lin Yi's car began to slow down and stopped directly in the middle of the road, in an open area without any car remains.

"Then, I guess you're a girl who's on her first Savior mission and doesn't even know her name yet."

Lin Yi stopped the car, got off the motorcycle, took off his windshield glasses, looked at the girl who was still sitting in the back seat and looked a little at a loss, and smiled.

"You look like you don't know anything. Maybe you don't quite understand what situation you are facing?"

"Of course, since I just arrived here, I don't know exactly what's going on here. However, as a senior, I can still do some simple popular science work."

"So while I have some time now, I will fulfill my duty as a senior and teach you about various aspects of science. After all, there is no such thing as a main god brainwashing here."

Lin Yi said this, using the most concise words possible to popularize the basic content of the Savior System to Yotsuya Miko, explained her current situation, and taught the girl how to activate the teammate coordinate function, and how to complete the mission and leave here to return to her own world.

"So... I was chosen by that, the Savior System, to come to this city to save the world?"

The expression on her face changed from shock, disbelief, to despair, and now numbness. Yotsuya Miko sat on the back seat of the motorcycle, staring at Lin Yi with lifeless eyes and asked.

"That's right. Apparently, the things that threaten the safety of this world are invisible to ordinary people. Only you can see them. I think that's why you are here. Because with your eyes, I and another savior who has not yet joined can confirm the enemy's position and fight. Well, what's your reaction?"

Before Lin Yi could finish his words, Jianzi had already gotten out of the car, squatting on the ground with his head in his hands.

Ah, no.

It's totally not working.

Facing those things was already a nightmarish experience.

Now, according to what this man said, I have to take the initiative to find those things, and I can't pretend not to see them. I have to watch them while giving instructions to others to fight those things?

The rescuer system must have made a mistake, right? Shouldn't someone like me be the one to be helped? Why was she forced to face something more dangerous and ferocious, something that could threaten the extinction of human civilization?

Desperate.

At this moment, the girl really felt desperate.

"Although I can see that you are not in a very good mental state, if I remember correctly, the Savior System will not force anyone to come in. You will only come in if you really agree to volunteer, right?"

Lin Yi was a little confused about the current situation.

"Yes...yes..."

I did agree, but I thought I was dreaming at the time...

Yotsuya Miko looked up at the sky, and at this moment he couldn't help but reveal an expression of despair.

Then, a big hand came over and hit her on the head, neither lightly nor heavily.

“Ugh—”

The girl subconsciously let out a cry of pain.

"Although I don't know what your difficulties are, don't worry. Although this system may not be reliable in some aspects (mainly referring to Koyomi), it is not some primitive main god that treats saviors as consumables. Even if you are torn into pieces and eaten alive by some particularly terrifying ghosts, you will not really die. Instead, you will be resurrected by the system after the mission is completed, so don't worry."

Lin Yi said this while giving a thumbs up and showing a bright smile.

"Being... chopped into pieces..."

Jianzi couldn't help but imagine that kind of scenario, and the expression on his face became even more desperate than before.

Hey, is this girl so depressed? What on earth did she go through to become like this?

Lin Yi scratched his head, realizing that his mission this time might require him to take on the responsibility of training new people, and it would be the kind of responsibility that requires hand-in-hand guidance.

"Okay, what I just said may be a little worrying, but just like I rescued you from that neighborhood just now, I will take responsibility to protect you in the next mission, and all you need to do is to show me the location of those monsters, and I will destroy them. I promise that no matter how scary or terrible the monsters are, they will never be able to touch a hair on your head, okay?"

Lin Yi squatted down to make his eyes level with the girl's and spoke seriously word by word.

"After all, when I first participated in the Savior mission, when I was still very weak, I was protected by others. And I'm not afraid of you laughing at me when I say this, but I was protected by two underage children while fighting. After all, they have superpowers and I don't."

"Haha, that's probably the situation anyway. Not having enough power isn't a big problem. I was also weak like you at one time. You don't have to feel like you can't face it. If you don't have enough power, there will naturally be other saviors to make up for this weakness. The system didn't send you to this place just to torture you."

"So, just think of this as a protection rule from the seniors to the newbies. During your newbie mission, I will protect you well and prevent you from getting hurt. Then, in return, you should also be alert and tell me the direction and location of those monsters that I can't see. I will take your place and solve those nightmares that you don't want to face. How about this deal? Do you accept it?"

A few words with a hint of frivolity, but for some reason they make people feel relieved.

He is a slightly strange man, but he doesn't seem unreliable. You won't feel that he is bragging. He just makes people feel that he is very confident.

The girl slowly raised her head and looked at the fully armed man in front of her. Looking at the cheerful smile on his face, the anxiety and confusion in her heart subsided a little at this moment, and she seemed to be able to calm down a little.

"Oh, it seems that you are a little more energetic. As a little girl who lives an ordinary life in a peaceful era, it seems that your mental resilience is really good."

Lin Yi, who thought he would need to comfort the other party for a while before he could calm him down, nodded slightly with a satisfied look on his face.

Stand up and move your arms and legs slightly.

Then, Lin Yi bent down slightly and stretched out his hand to the girl in front of him.

"Well then, F-class savior, combatant Lin Yi, let's work together from now on."

She reached out and grabbed the other person's hand. The girl, whose feet were numb from squatting for so long, was pulled up by the other person. The uneasiness in her heart had basically disappeared, and even a little fighting spirit was ignited.

After all, just like when he was facing those things, running away or screaming was meaningless, and showing a scared expression was useless. When the scary thing appeared in front of him, there was no other shortcut except to try his best not to show any flaws.

So I have to take action, take action, and work together with others to break the nightmare before us.

"Yotani Miko, um, G-class savior, combat support personnel, please guide me in the next mission—"

So the girl took a deep breath, mustered up her courage, raised her head, looked at Lin Yi and spoke. However, although Jianzi was very enthusiastic at this moment, after looking at Lin Yi, her expression quickly stiffened, and even the words she said were interrupted.

Because, at some unknown time, on a face full of pustules and covered with dense yellow-white pus spots, three staggered eyeballs were staring at him, and the lips that had been torn across the entire cheek were slowly opening, sticking out a tongue full of teeth, and on the tongue there was a bloody eyeball that was constantly struggling, as if it was alive and trying to tear itself off the tongue, so that black dirty blood was flowing everywhere.

"Well, what happened?"

Lin Yi saw the change in the girl's expression and couldn't help but ask.

[Hmm, what's wrong? ]

The distorted face that blocked Lin Yi's view, the huge mouth began to move, and slowly made a voice that was 50% similar to Lin Yi's.

Yotsuya Miko: "..."

Have the courage to face nightmares.

It's really too much of a stretch, isn't it?

Chapter 4: Intelligence Gathering

Although Lin Yi reacted immediately and pierced the deformed face that was blocking him with a knife, and immediately fired again to ensure that the opponent was completely eliminated, but Jianzi, who was continuously stimulated, fell into autism again. He sat on the ground and took several breaths before he finally recovered.

These monsters are indeed completely different from those he had seen before.

As long as she pretended not to see them, those ghosts would not do anything to her. However, these things were obviously smarter, and her disguises could not fool them at all. As soon as she saw them, she would immediately realize that she could see them. However, those ghosts would not do anything to her immediately, but treated her with an attitude similar to "playing around first". Therefore, when Lin Yi was nearby, she still had the opportunity to point out their positions in time and let her teammates eliminate them.

"Alright, alright, don't worry, that thing has been destroyed."

Sighing, Lin Yi reached out and touched Jianzi's head. On the ground beside him, which he couldn't see, the distorted and terrifying monster with a human face was indeed dissipating and collapsing. It could no longer maintain its own entity and was gradually disintegrating.

Maybe it was because of the weapons used. Senior Lin Yi said that the bullets he carried on this mission were all specially made. In short, those things could indeed be attacked and destroyed by him, which made Jianzi feel more at ease.

"Well, it's about time to figure out what's going on in this place. I'll leave the job of looking out to you, Miss Jianzi. After all, I can't sense those things. If anything happens, please alert me immediately."

Lin Yi didn't stand up until Jianzi recovered from the shocking scene just now. While talking, he pushed the motorcycle forward.

"Yes, I understand, Senior Lin Yi."

The girl behind her responded softly. Although being called by name was a bit too intimate, she felt a little uncomfortable. However, since the other party was not Japanese, and considering the special situation, Jianzi didn't say anything and just let the other party call her like that. As for how she addressed Lin Yi, because Lin Yi emphasized his identity as a savior at the beginning, Jianzi just called him "senior".

Although Lin Yi was quite clear about how to address Japanese people by their names because of Xiao Mizi, he just took advantage of the current special situation and adopted this kind of intimate address to bring them closer. Yes, that's right, calling her by her name right from the start can divert her attention to a certain extent and prevent her from being too terrified. Besides, calling her by her name directly makes him feel comfortable.

You know, the AI ​​assistant Iino Miko still doesn't want Lin Yi to call her Miko. Every time Lin Yi "accidentally" calls her by her name, she will seriously correct Lin Yi and say that this is a name between intimate friends and family members, saying that they have a serious relationship as colleagues and can't call each other like that, which is particularly disappointing. It's probably because of this that Lin Yi deliberately named the motorcycle Mibao No. 1 to tease the other party.

"Well, hopefully there are the clues we need here."

Back to the topic, Lin Yi's eyes stayed on the overturned military truck in front of him.

Although it was a different world, it was basically the same as the modern society in Lin Yi's cognition. At most, the characters used were different, and this small difference could be easily overcome by the translation function of the Savior System. Therefore, when driving with Jianzi just now, Lin Yi had been looking for any places around that were worth paying attention to, and locked onto the overturned truck.

Although the model does not match any of the known ones, this car should be a troop carrier, possibly used by some special operations team.

There were messy footprints and a few bullet shells on the ground, mixed with scattered car parts. Although not very conspicuous, Lin Yi found these traces at a glance. Therefore, he quickly realized that this truck should have entered the city after something unusual happened, and after entering, this team should have been attacked by something and had to get out of the overturned car and fight and retreat.

crunch--

After a little effort, Lin Yi opened the deformed and twisted door of the truck and looked inside.

There were two empty full sets of bulletproof vests, with many tears on the clothes themselves and a little dried blood scattered in the car.

Traces of struggle can be seen... Hmm... Two special forces soldiers wearing bulletproof vests, struggling desperately after being caught by something. Some aorta in their bodies must have been torn, so a lot of blood spurted out... No, the amount of bleeding does not seem to be caused by an arterial rupture, but judging from the distance of the blood and the distribution of blood spots, only an arterial rupture could have caused it. Is it because most of the blood was absorbed by something, so only such a small amount of dried blood is left?

There was an obvious dent on one side of the car, which should be the root cause of the car's rollover. The blow was very powerful, um... wait, there was a small crack at the center of the dent, as if something sharp had pierced in. The attacking object first deformed the car and overturned it, then transformed into a sharp form and pierced through the car, then quickly killed two special forces soldiers, and then the others escaped from the car?

Lin Yi reached out and picked up an automatic rifle on the ground. This gun did not match any of the brands he knew, but it looked more like an AR15. There was a hole in the middle of the gun body pierced by something sharp, and it was completely damaged and could no longer be used. Judging from the blood stains on the gun body, this gun should be the weapon of one of the two unlucky guys in the car.

Could the thing that attacked the car recognize the gun and attack?

If that was the case, then the attacking creature was probably a different type of enemy from the monster that he and Miko had just encountered. After all, those creatures didn't pay attention to him. Although it couldn't be ruled out that Miko Yotsuya had the ability to charm monsters so the enemy would ignore the surrounding environment,

So, was that thing an enemy that specifically targeted this team to attack? Or was it just wandering around the street like the ones we encountered just now, and was attracted by the noise of the car?

The existing information is still too little and the intelligence is insufficient, so further investigation is needed.

After entering the car and finding the communication equipment, Lin Yi discovered with some regret that it was damaged and there was no way to contact the outside world. He curled his lips, then walked out of the truck and looked at Jianzi who was looking around anxiously outside.

"Let's go, there's nothing valuable here."

As Lin Yi spoke, he turned his gaze towards a large shopping mall on one side of the street, whose main door had been torn apart and broken glass was scattered all over the ground.

"Hey, are you done with the investigation so soon?"

The girl was slightly stunned. It took Lin Yi less than 5 seconds from opening the car door to entering and coming out. What could he investigate in such a short time?

"I can temporarily increase my thinking speed to hundreds of times faster than a normal person, so I'm very fast at investigating intelligence. Anyway, let's go this way. I hope we can still find someone alive."

Lin Yi returned to the locomotive, took out the howitzer and put it on his back, while speaking, he took the lead.

Jianzi was following Lin Yi cautiously from behind. She actually didn't quite understand what Lin Yi was investigating, but considering that he was a more experienced senior than her and had actually been protecting her, she didn't ask too many questions, for fear that she would accidentally interrupt the other person's train of thought.
