NIKKE, when the stars bloom

Suddenly, a low roar like a beast rang out in the team voice. The extreme mental tension combined with the effect of adrenaline made Phoenix suppress the discomfort in his body and pounced on his subordinates like a tiger or leopard.

The next moment, a figure was seen moving in the hail of bullets, holding Helen, who was left with only a broken body, and hiding behind another machine tool.

"Everyone else, get back behind the cover!!!"

The man with bloodshot eyes roared, placed his right hand on Helen's heart, and said:

"Annick, heal!"

[The target power core is damaged by more than 50%, and the estimated repair time is more than minutes and seconds. Considering the current situation, it is not recommended to carry out on-site treatment. ]

Perhaps because a large amount of computing power was used in other areas, the artificial intelligence, which had no personality for the time being, continued to report data to the host in a mechanical tone that was calm to the point of being indifferent.

[Note that the nanometal missing rate of the right arm is 22.79%, and the output power is expected to drop to 64.11% of the standard power. ]

[Damage to the abdominal nerve circuit was detected, abdominal muscle erosion was detected, and liver bleeding was detected. We are trying to repair and reorganize it. ]

[Note that the nanometal missing rate of the right arm is 26.83%, and the output power is expected to drop to 42.65% of the standard power. ]

[A leak was detected in the hydraulic pipe of the right leg prosthesis and repaired. 】

[Note that the nanometal missing rate of the right arm is 31.55%, and the output power is expected to drop to 21.40% of the standard power. ]

【detected……】

"Wal Qiulei!"

In just half a breath, Phoenix listened to the endless chatter of the AI ​​and came up with an idea that might allow him to fight to the death.

——They still have the protagonist.

As long as we continue to inspire Walqiulei's fighting spirit and thereby improve Alice's combat capability, we may have a chance to equalize the situation.

So, the unscrupulous man made up his mind, his features grim, and opened his mouth to roar again:

"You're probably going to die. I'll make ends meet if I kill one now, and I'll make a profit if I kill two. Come here and make your money back first--!!!"

To the north, hearing the instructor's gangster-like shouting, the girl's already passionate soul became even more excited.

Kill Letcher!

Just like the instructor once did, kill a Letcher with your own hands as an unmodified human!

Can I really do it?

Faced with a dying situation, Huaer Qiulei's ruthlessness and bloodiness were successfully induced under the strong influence of someone.

The girl gritted her teeth and leaned half of her body out, risking being shot in two by a stray bullet. She then raised the revolver given by the instructor, shouted, and pulled the trigger at a Letcher more than a hundred meters away.

"Kill one to break even, kill two to make a profit!!!"

boom--!

The moment when the amazing flames burst out from the muzzle of the revolver!!!

The inhuman pain forced Phoenix's brain and soul to tremble violently, and even Anik in the sea of ​​consciousness groaned as if he felt the same pain.

Vision,

Deprived of suffering.

dark,

Quickly engulfing consciousness.

Time and space disappeared from the man's perception until a reminder mixed with a large amount of electric current sounded in the empty sea of ​​​​consciousness.

[Increase…300.00%]

Boo!

A sound similar to that of a bubble being popped sounded gently in Phoenix's eyes, and then two streams of thick blood squeezed out of the tear glands and turned into tears of blood.

then,

Invisible waves and particles spread outward at the speed of light with the man's head as the center, no more, no less, exactly to nine hundred meters.

"what is this?"

Staring at the floating point Letcher that can be seen through the wall in front of me, I feel the three-dimensional map that can be rotated freely in my mind.

Alice's right eye turned emerald, and she slightly opened her cute little mouth, tentatively aiming at a machine tool.

Clang——!

The gunshot rang out, and Letcher fell to the ground behind the machine tool. Due to the change in angle, half of his body was exposed to Alice's sight, bringing a visual shock to the little girl on a spiritual level...

……

"Is this... the commander's perspective?"

A few bursts of fire punched through the Letcher core behind the steel plate.

Mihala, who had successfully shot the target with ease, turned her head in disbelief and looked at Yuni, Anis, Marian and others whose right eyes had turned green not far away.

And what about Anis?

After witnessing all of her teammates successfully shoot through the enemy lines, she couldn't help but speak up with a hint of anger in her voice, complaining:

"Wait a minute, Commander, what kind of perception ability is this?!

This……

This is clearly open!!!"

Chapter 278: Not Telling Riddles Is the Normal Operation

What does it mean that Nikki has the ability to see through things?

It's almost like a fisherman knowing where the fish are, a drag racer knowing the ground friction index of every bend, and a boxer being able to see the health and stamina bars above the opponent's head.

To an outsider, it might seem like nothing special.

But in fact, the seemingly ordinary auxiliary capabilities can improve the performance of professionals by exponentially.

Especially for Alice, when this little girl who could shoot for three seconds and reload for two seconds and lock the core of the Letcher with every shot could clearly see the movements of each Letcher, she decisively made a decision that made Nian bow down to her.

——Close combat.

A petite pink figure instantly flipped over the cover and plunged into Letcher's position.

Afterwards, the silenced sniper rifles shrieked continuously. Every bullet that destroyed a Letcher core nearby would also penetrate the mechanical joints of a Letcher behind it, or simply shoot two with one, destroying two Letcher cores in succession.

However, Letcher's side became restrained by Alice's high-speed charge and stood there in a daze.

They couldn't lock onto her.

Letcher, who passed by Alice closely, had no time to turn the muzzle of the gun to aim because the distance was too close, not to mention that the little girl would deliberately block their blind spot for close-range shooting.

Looking at Letcher who was a little further away, because their vision was blocked by the bodies of their teammates, every time they caught sight of the target and were about to lock on, Alice would disappear from their sight again the next moment.

As for the outermost circle of Letchers... they really couldn't even see where the enemy was.

Looking back, all I saw were my friendly troops' butts.

"Nian! You rush in too, I'll cover you!"

It was a life-and-death moment, so Ludmila naturally didn't care about Alice's safety. She raised her gun and shot at Letcher on the left side of the passage.

At the same time, the fire girl, who had just come to her senses, did not hesitate at all after hearing the order from Her Majesty the Queen. She picked up her shotgun, followed suit, rolled out of the machine tool shelter, and rushed into Letcher's formation.

She knew exactly where Alice was moving, just as Alice knew exactly where she was.

There will never be any accidental injury to each other by either side.

……

……

Gudong!

The pain of his soul being torn apart forced the man to take off his night vision goggles and sit down on the ground with tears and blood on his face.

Seeing the commander like this, Helen, who didn't know what was going on, suddenly widened her eyes, struggled anxiously, and climbed up from the cold metal floor tiles, dragging her severely underpowered body to protect Phoenix.

"second lieutenant……"

Her memory flashed back to the day when Krau was captured, and then she recalled the time when Mihala, Anis and others silently excluded her, as well as the words that Rabi had said to her.

Then, Helen took the "Florian" sniper rifle from Phoenix, gritted her teeth, raised the muzzle, aimed at a Letcher that was about to cross the machine tool on the right side of the passage, and pulled the trigger.

boom--! ! !

As the gunshots rang out, Letcher, who was trying to launch a sneak attack from the side, suddenly burst into dazzling sparks of electricity, then fell powerlessly from the transport tracks and fell heavily to the ground.

"…This time, I will definitely protect you well."

The noble girl, with artificial blood still flowing from her chest and abdomen, gently put down the gun. After she and the commander swore an oath, she said anxiously:

"What happened to your eyes?"

"A small...small problem."

Someone answered with difficulty. Not only was his voice trembling constantly, but the abnormal discharge of his brain caused his hands to be out of control and tremble wildly, like a patient with epilepsy. Therefore, it was naturally difficult for Helen to believe what he said.

In the sea of ​​consciousness, the mechanical voice of artificial intelligence continued on its own.

[Increase of 371.61%…415.22%…458.34%…]

suddenly!

When the maximum distance of the consciousness map expanded to 1675.02 meters, something happened to the artificial intelligence that was originally broadcasting, and it inexplicably showed signs of lag that it had never seen before.

[Increase…increase…by 49…499.9…]

Sizzle————!!!

The sudden electric blind sound generated itself in the brain, stimulating Phoenix to subconsciously let out a hoarse groan, letting the ethereal voice wander above the sea of ​​his consciousness.

[So that's how it is - no wonder he has such incredible commanding abilities. ]

[Are you Alnik? Or Indivilla? ]

Hearing that voice, the man who was still able to maintain his thinking function denied the words he had just blurted out and asked sternly:

[No! Who are you?!]

【Queen.】

【! ! ! 】

There were no pretentious guessing games, nor boring scripts that refused to reveal their names. Even Phoenix himself did not expect that he was just following the procedure and the other party answered his confusion directly without any hesitation.

——The Queen, Queen Letcher.

——That is the former captain of the Goddess Army, the person Xiaocao was loyal to, Lilyvis.

[Strictly speaking, I am not the Queen of Letcher, but the Queen of Heretics. The real Queen of Letcher is in space.]

Unexpectedly, Lilyvis was so lazy that she didn't even bother to act. She unscrupulously used her actions to prove that she could read Phoenix's inner thoughts without any obstacles. Any thoughts of the person concerned could not escape her prying eyes.

【What do you want me to do?】

The second lieutenant was also very single. Seeing that the other party did not seem to intend to kill him, he could guess with his toes that the other party had other plans.

After all, Letcher and the heretics were not in the same camp. It was the ignorant humans who arbitrarily categorized them together.

[Your awareness is not enough. ]

Her Majesty the Queen commented coldly:

[Metal affinity, supernatural perception, AI hosting, with such unique advantages, you should be able to be independent of humans, Letcher, Nikki, and heretics, become another new life form in the world, and try to save humanity on your own.

You didn't do that, you were unwilling to give up your human identity, and you were bound by worldly morality.

This is not the collaborator I need. 】

【Let me be clear, the Riddler can't find any allies. 】

Phoenix remained calm in the face of Lilyvis's sarcastic remarks, and even extracted the most important core idea from her words.

--cooperate.

The man had a clear understanding of his own strength. He also remembered Lilyvis's incredible feat of defeating hundreds of Letchers in one second during the ground war.

Now that she has transformed into a heretic, the strength of that perverted woman has only increased compared to before. Does a monster of this level still need to cooperate with me?
