Living with a magical girl, but a weirdo cadre

　Then, the supply team that disembarked from the aircraft placed a large number of high-end-looking items on the ground, ready to begin their work.

　The police captain didn't continue chatting with the others...

　Actually, it wasn't exactly casual conversation at the beginning; it was more like first eliminating Cong Yu and the others as suspects. Then, I answered their questions and taught them how to use the shield generator... something like that.

　"Deploy the drones into the sewers, quick! Quick, quick, quick! You haven't forgotten your usual training, have you?!"

　"Has the autopsy team sent back the data yet? Urge them to hurry up and investigate as quickly as possible!"

　The officer gave the order, then took the snacks offered by another officer beside him: "Thanks, I was just hungry... Hurry up! If we find anything, our promotions are just around the corner!"

　"I have a feeling this is related to the disappearance of the 'Mother of the Dao'... Oh, that's confidential."

　His final words were clearly directed at Cong Yu and his group, who were watching the spectacle without a care in the world... but they obviously let them go in one ear and out the other.

　As long as Cong Yu and the others are willing, nothing in this interstellar era can stop them from wanting to know anything, and no one can stop them from saying what they want to say.

　"..."

　"Cong Yu-chan, they seem very professional."

　Cong Yu nodded in response to Yao Chuanguang's words, then looked at the different badges on the shoulders of these police officers.

　It felt different from the group that came to collect the body of that sales manager yesterday... and those people weren't this efficient either.

　It's probably a special task force investigating the "He Dao Zhu Mu" matter?

　Cong Yu guessed this.

　Then, under the watchful eyes of the group, the police officer operating the drone suddenly swore twice, and then displayed the terminal screen—

　What is displayed in front of everyone is an image similar to thermal imaging... no, that is probably thermal imaging.

　Even in the interstellar era, thermal imaging is still very useful.

　And without a doubt, what appeared on the screen were countless monsters, each one on all fours.

　There are about a hundred...

　It appears to be entirely entrenched in the sewers beneath the city... hunting alien rats and humanoid corpses for food.

　It's unclear whether this is unique to this city or if the entire planet's drainage system has become a habitat for these monsters.

　"Oh no! The safety of the citizens is at risk!"

　"Hiss, this is bad..."

　"Shouldn't we request reinforcements from genetic warriors?"

　"..." The police officers expressed their concerns, some even feeling a chill, while Cong Yu, Yao Chuan Guang, and the others exchanged bewildered glances...

　Should we volunteer to fight our way through those things, or leave it to these people to deal with?

　What if everyone stays for a few days and then flies away?

　It's fine to leave it to them; this is probably not a situation that the police officer and the "gene warriors" can't handle, and helping them would be too much trouble.

　But I'm curious to see what happens next—

　Chapter 933 Licking: Don't come any closer!

　They're more like super soldiers than gene warriors.

　They might be similar to "special forces"... They're not tall or particularly outstanding.

　They won't be taciturn or act with a sense of mission.

　Moreover, the modifications are not limited to genes, but also include prosthetics, weapons... If I had to describe it, it would be very similar to those interstellar mercenaries.

　They were merely mercenaries belonging to the Star Alliance.

　Generally speaking, their physical bodies can reach... the level of a natural physical state of an individual of the human race.

　That is roughly the extent to which a single punch could shatter the chest cavity of that skinless monster... at most, it wouldn't be able to blast it into such a scattered state.

　It's almost turned into minced meat.

　This is also why the police officers were so amazed by Cong Yu's data. After all, Cong Yu hadn't undergone genetic modification or received any prosthetic implants.

　"Hey! Gistor, put some effort into it!"

　"What the hell?! Is this even human?"

　"Humans? What kind of demonic race?"

　"..." Amidst the jeers of the surrounding "gene warriors", Cong Yu, sitting in the police station, was arm wrestling with a gene warrior with a steel arm prosthetic body.

　Yes, an alien version of arm wrestling.

　Well, it's more accurate to call it "arm wrestling" rather than "arm wrestling." Because the rule is to exert force by interlocking arms.

　However, no matter how hard the gene warrior named Gist tried, Cong Yu's arm remained completely still.

　"..." Gist, looking utterly astonished, gave up. He slammed his hand on the table and stood up: "It's too terrifying... I can't do it, you guys go."

　In response to his words, a female genetically engineered warrior with a "chocolate" dangling from her mouth approached: "I'll do it... 'Human,' right?"

　As she said this, she stuffed the "black caffeine x cocoa butter candy" into her mouth...

　I heard that a decade (16 years) ago in the interstellar era, any food with a caffeine content exceeding a certain percentage was a contraband.

　It was classified as a Class C-3 prohibited item.

　It was only recently removed...

　"Well, humans... although I should be considered a subspecies of humans, and cannot represent the entire human race."

　As Cong Yu said this, the female gene warrior scrutinized Cong Yu's face: "Didn't I hear... about your wives?"

　"..." Wives? Does that mean Hikaru Yokawa and the others?

　Did you include Xiao Cui in your calculations?

　Cong Yu's lips twitched, then she gestured with her eyes for the other person to quickly get into position: "They are friends, not wives... They couldn't stand the environment in the sewers, so they went home."

　Upon receiving this answer, the female Space Marine immediately assumed an arm-wrestling stance and leaned in to kiss Cong Yu's face.

　However, Cong Yu blocked it with her hand.

　"Oh oh oh!!!"

　"Hahaha……"

　"Hey lady, are you interested in this young man?"

　Cong Yu: "..."

　After a moment of silence, Cong Yu ignored the other person's expression and won the arm wrestling match decisively.

　It's fortunate that he gave the security camera leading to Lixiang to Yaochuan Guang. Otherwise, everyone in Lixiang would have witnessed him being harassed.

　Cong Yu wasn't entirely against being kissed...

　But I'd rather avoid situations involving complete strangers; I feel like these female aliens are just lusting after my body.

　"Any more?"

　Cong Yu asked this question, and amidst the bewildered glances of the gene warriors around him, he declared, "Then I should also be considered to have proven my strength?"

　In response to Cong Yu's words, one of the gene warriors chuckled and said, "Actually, there's no need to prove your strength. We trust your physical abilities... but we're mainly worried about your safety once you enter the sewers."

　Physical fitness, strength, and even destructive power do not necessarily equate to greater safety.

　Those genetically engineered warriors belonging to the Star Alliance receive compensation after they die. But it's harder to explain the deaths of volunteer civilians.

　"Don't worry, I've been through countless battles on my home planet..."

　With that, Cong Yu put on the armor that everyone had prepared for him and put on the helmet as they had instructed.

　Weapons were issued to everyone after boarding the aircraft, but I had heard before that they had no plans to issue weapons to Cong Yu.

　Perhaps he was worried that Cong Yu might accidentally hurt him...

　"Heh, it looks pretty convincing."

　The female gene warrior, whom the group of gene warriors called her, smiled and said, "Our team happens to be short-handed, so come with us... We'll protect you."

　Cong Yu nodded and pulled a knife from the side of his armor... no, it was more like a saw than a knife.

　The button on the handle is likely the key to activating the chainsaw that replaces the blade... The red coolant indicator on the handle is visible.

　While examining the weapon in his hand, Cong Yu said, "Thank you for your help. I will follow your instructions."

　That would be perfect.

　He nodded, then couldn't help but laugh: "You as..."

　"A witness to the monster would be a huge help if they could come with us..."

　If a subspecies or variant of the monster appears, the group will not make any misjudgments based on the information.

　Oral accounts and photographs also exist...

　However, that kind of thing is certainly not as good as a real eyewitness.

　"Hey! The boat is ready, let's move out."

　As the aircraft crew outside made their calls through the broadcasting system, the captains of each squad sprang into action.

　The woman, who was temporarily in charge of Cong Yu's team, nodded to Cong Yu and the other three team members: "Let's move out."

　As he said this, he adjusted the headset on his ear to confirm the communication, and then led the group into the aircraft.

　"Our mission is to track down and kill the monsters temporarily named 'Skinless Ones,' clean the drainage system, and trace the source of the problem."

　Secondary mission 1: Capture live, skinless individuals.

　"Secondary mission 2: Collect data during combat to determine if its danger level reaches 0.1, and if it is necessary to recruit it into the Star Beast ranks."

　Secondary task 3: Protect yourself.

　"above."

　"..." As he said this, he threw the guns and weapons on the aircraft to the three taciturn team members, excluding Cong Yu.

　She hesitated for a moment, then handed a long sword to Cong Yu: "You look like you know how to handle a knife... Use it carefully."

　Cong Yu didn't speak, but nodded to indicate that she understood and took the weapon. Then, a teammate next to her said, "I'll help you secure it."

　The team member spoke sparingly, securing the knife to Cong Yu's back armor: "High-frequency cutting weapon, be careful."

　Oh, so it's a high-frequency setting that's indispensable in the interstellar era.

　Cong Yu understood completely. He accepted the tactical equipment distributed by the captain and stored it away.

　Three-tube treatment medication.

　A face shield.

　Two anesthetic needle launchers fixed to the gloves.

　It can be fitted into a data terminal with detection radar, thermal imaging, heartbeat detection, positioning, and emergency distress modules.

　……

　The other team members also carried round, throwing objects (grenades) and large guns that looked many times more powerful than the firearms in the hands of gangsters.

　There were also some other miscellaneous items and tactical eyepieces...

　What to say?

　They were armed to a degree that left Cong Yu somewhat speechless...

　If those monsters are indeed man-made biological weapons, then the "producer" might be a bit crazy.

　I see! It turns out this isn't the set of the horror game Resident Evil (questionable), but rather the set of the Musou game "40K: Star Warriors" (questionable)!

　Chapter 934 Barnacle Monster, Calamity Species

　Why do many zombie movies and games always omit the element of "a group of soldiers" by default?

　The reason soldiers were banned is obviously because they were too strong.

　Slow-moving, unintelligent zombies driven only by instinct. Even ordinary civilians can survive through teamwork and tactics.

　In this situation, it was necessary to design an old lady who would voluntarily open the shelter door to save her dog.

　This is how you create the tension of zombies chasing humans.
