Living with a magical girl, but a weirdo cadre

　Zombie-themed works require an atmosphere of suspense and horror, but a small, genuine special forces unit, with their calm and decisive actions...

　There was absolutely no feeling of fear, helplessness, or struggle.

　"Fire."

　"Boooooooh!!"

　"Whoa, whoa, whoa!!!"

　"Da da da!!!"

　"..." Witnessing the coordinated advance of the squad, Cong Yu watched the rain of lasers and physical bullets streak past...

　Cong Yu, protected in the very center of the group, witnessed the "lickers" being beaten and howling, trying countless times to pounce only to be shot dead in mid-air.

　This level of firepower did indeed bring Cong Yu a different kind of novelty and shock... It was more sophisticated than the corporate thugs of his era.

　This may be the difference between private soldiers and government troops.

　"..." Cong Yu silently pushed up the gas mask on her face, feeling like she really was on vacation.

　But this is pretty good too...

　It's good to do sightseeing and broaden your horizons, even if it's just for sightseeing.

　Thinking this, Cong Yu casually followed the team as they moved quickly, turning her head to watch the logistics team wrap "Tintin's" corpse in plastic wrap.

　Okay, according to the official naming convention here...

　That was called the Skinless One.

　Cong Yu's gaze shifted away from the plastic foam gun in the hands of the logistics troops, which was constantly firing pale yellow foam that turned into hard material.

　He looked at the pale yellow foam blocks that were constantly sealing off the cracks in the sewer and some side passages behind him to ensure safety.

　Clicking his tongue in amazement, Cong Yu looked again at the gunfire not far ahead, where other squads of "Skinless Ones" were steadily advancing and eliminating the remaining members through communication.

　At this rate of efficiency, we might be able to take care of all the skinless ones by tomorrow... and then proceed with the next steps.

　A considerable number of small teams were cleaning different sewers in different cities... Could this be considered a decentralized operation?

　These genetic warriors seem to have a very busy work schedule...

　No, it could also be an entity like the Star Alliance, which has a large number of genetically engineered warriors under its command.

　This is sufficient to dispatch many when dealing with such events.

　The captain's squad seemed to be more taciturn than the other squads, but they also appeared to have the best discipline.

　Even through the two sewer passages, Cong Yu could clearly hear the other team talking loudly about what to eat for dinner.

　What to say?

　I'm getting a little bored.

　Thinking this, Cong Yu casually glanced at the heartbeat detector module on the data terminal in her hand, then switched to two web pages and started watching videos on mute.

　I apologize, but it felt a bit disrespectful to the operation and the other team members...

　But Cong Yu was so bored that she had to watch videos.

　As he casually watched the video on the terminal and responded to Yao Chuanguang's messages in split-screen mode, a tongue silently drooped down.

　"Whoosh..."

　With a whooshing sound, a slippery tongue flew down from the sky and wrapped around Cong Yu's neck.

　"Ok?"

　Cong Yu looked up in confusion, and as she looked at the sky, she was pulled into the air by the tongue.

　The moment Cong Yu realized her feet were dangling in the air, she saw a barnacle-like creature with its gaping maw open, ready to swallow her whole.

　The inside of the barnacle, once opened, is filled with sharp, pinkish fangs, densely packed, reminiscent of the torture instruments of the Iron Maiden.

　It's probably a structure capable of instantly biting and devouring a person's head...

　"..." To be fair, Cong Yu didn't think that after using magic to strengthen her head, this "barnacle" would still be able to bite.

　But that would be disgusting and too terrifying.

　Cong Yu, who has no particular hobbies, flipped his body in mid-air in an almost impossible way.

　With its neck wrapped around and lifted upwards, it spun around on the spot and launched a flying kick from below towards the barnacle monster!

　"Oh!"

　Cong Yu delivered a casual, high kick to the side of the barnacle, narrowly missing the stitches on its skin...

　The moment it sensed something was wrong, the barnacle immediately released its tongue, while Murasame grabbed the other's tongue in mid-air.

　In a moment of exertion, he pulled himself up a short distance, drew a long sword from behind, spun around, and with one strike, severed the barnacle monster from its roots.

　Then, with one hand holding the barnacle monster and the other holding a knife, he landed on the ground with his legs down.

　"..." The team members and captain who had noticed the commotion fell silent... Although by the time they heard the noise and realized what was happening, Cong Yu had already kicked him.

　But they still saw what happened in the second half.

　The support staff behind the team watched Cong Yu's entire operation from beginning to end... They exclaimed that they had seen a god.

　"You... have you ever thought about becoming a gene... no, never mind."

　The captain said this, but then chose to keep quiet... feeling that Cong Yu had no need to become a gene warrior.

　He's already quite the "gene warrior" by now.

　If they really underwent genetic modification and training, they might directly become genetic warriors... But there's an even more crucial issue than that.

　"what is this?"

　Regarding the captain's question, Cong Yu, who had witnessed the previous incident, shook his head and said, "Never seen it before, probably a new enemy unit."

　In response to Cong Yu's answer, the group confirmed that the terminal did not display any heat source or other biological reactions from this "barnacle monster".

　Looking up, you can see sheet metal partially stuck to the pipe, along with some dark, solid sludge.

　The barnacle monster has a slightly dark skin and hides above the sewers, clinging to the solid sludge inside.

　Since it was highly likely a newly discovered monster, the group temporarily halted their advance, contacting other teams to share information while taking photos for the logistics team to analyze the packages.

　Cong Yu was curious about the working principle of those plastic wraps that absorb bodily fluids, are wrapped up, and can then analyze and transmit data to a terminal.

　What kind of alien technology is it?

　As Cong Yu was thinking this, she then heard the captain's shocked voice: "Evacuate? Why?!"

　These words drew Cong Yu's attention.

　"Abandon the planet? What about the civilians? I need a reason... if you don't give us an explanation..."

　"..."

　"what?"

　"A calamity species...?"

　……

　Cong Yu: Okay, here's the job.

　Chapter 935 Extinction VS Calamity

　Is it fair to say that life is unpredictable?

　It was originally a situation in interstellar space... where gene warriors were killing indiscriminately.

　However, after suddenly receiving an order, everyone had to evacuate the sewers.

　Even the gene warriors might evacuate this planet overnight and choose to directly open up... and the reason is very simple.

　Because of something called "Calamity Seed".

　"The so-called calamity is an extinction spell, and the calamity species... according to them, is a person possessed by the calamity."

　Yao Chuanguang nodded at Cong Yu's explanation, adopting an attitude that said, "I completely understand."

　"You mean Warcraft?"

　As Yaochuan Guang explained, Cong Yu shook his head:

　"Warcraft has been classified as Star Beasts... like me and Xiao Cui."

　And there's also Miss Chi You and such...

　"Calamity species... are those who use extinction spells."

　Lan Tianzhu stated the equation, nodding without changing her expression: "In other words, those skinless zombies and barnacle monsters were all created by an extermination spell... but we didn't sense any magic."

　Yes, no one sensed any magic from the zombies.

　Are extinction spells in the universe different from those on Earth? Impossible... The descriptions of the Rainbow Star Beast (monster) are consistent.

　"It might be the same as the doctor's medication."

　Cong Yu made his speculations, then glanced at Aria, who had raised her head because of the mention of "doctor".

　I wasn't talking about you...

　It's really strange that you all have "Doctor" as your nickname.

　"The doctor's medicine is purely scientific, but she did use magical means to create it to some extent."

　Analyzing the situation, Cong Yu continued recounting what had happened: "Then, the captain asked me if I wanted them to help me and my people get included in the Star Alliance evacuation... I said no."

　"Then, they first tried to comfort me, and finally reassured me that the planet would be alright, and we would be alright too... and then they left."

　"So I returned the equipment."

　"..." In response to Cong Yu's nonchalant words, Aria opened her mouth, unable to help but ask, "Is this planet going to be abandoned?"

　This was the first time Aria had ever seen a genetic warrior volunteer to join the Star Alliance's evacuation team.

　This is certainly the first time I've seen someone actively refuse.

　"But why don't you leave... Calamity?"

　Aria didn't know what to say either. She had overheard the discussion: "Extinction spell... what exactly are you...?"

　Arya, whose language system was somewhat confused, really didn't know what to say... She simply felt that her life was coming to an end.

　As a guide, she didn't believe her name was on the Star Alliance's evacuation list...

　They sincerely hoped that Cong Yu would accept the invitation to evacuate and that they could take her with them to escape the threat of disaster.

　However, she immediately realized that Cong Yu and his group did not need to bring her along, and the invitation had already expired.

　Moreover, neither Cong Yu nor Yao Chuan Guang were ignorant; in fact, they had a unique understanding and insight into "calamity" in their words and actions.

　Cong Yu and the others were not afraid.

　However, reason told Aria that this was impossible... The calamity was a terminal illness of a civilization, a planet.

　Countless thoughts swirled and raged, intertwined with the fear of death and abandonment, ultimately culminating in her silence.

　"Don't worry, ha..."

　Cong Yu comforted Aria, this interstellar bumpkin (laughs), saying, "Actually, Xiao Cui and I are also Calamity Species."

　Arya dismissed these words as utter nonsense...

　Just as Cong Yu was about to say something more, a message came through on his terminal—a communication from a friend…

　[Friend 001 (Note: Alien homeroom teacher): Something's about to happen on Alka, it'll be sealed off soon.]

　[Friend 001 (Alien Homeroom Teacher): Are you still on the planet? If you haven't left yet... well, I can't say more.]

　[Friend 001 (Alien Homeroom Teacher): Anyway, my dad will arrange for a spaceship to pick me up. Do you want to leave together?]

　In response, Cong Yu immediately began editing a message.

　[Cong Yu: No need, thank you. We know what's going to happen, but we'll wait and see for a while longer.]

　[Friend 001 (Alien Homeroom Teacher): It's much easier now that you know. The calamity is very dangerous; the entire galaxy will be abandoned.]

　[Friend 001 (Alien Homeroom Teacher): It sounds like you guys have connections, but this situation is unusual.]

　[Friend 001 (Alien Homeroom Teacher): My father is a member of the Star Alliance. If you come with us, it will save you a lot of trouble.]
