Danrito, become a consultant for the Millennium Game!

These malicious soldiers themselves weren't very strong, and while nanomachined robots were considered the best among them, regenerating nanomachines took time. Without wasting materials, ordinary metal puppets became the best filler troops.

As long as they were created and brainwashed with malware, they would become a large, cheap force. They would definitely be impossible to deal with Danrito, but they would be no problem fighting ordinary students.

As for the four people in the convenience house, the tasks they usually face are basically of a higher difficulty level.

Some of them were particularly difficult tasks that Ah Lu took on simply to save face, or perhaps they were the kind that Ah Lu was tricked into taking on simply because someone praised her.

Or maybe, in a moment of confusion, A-Lu suddenly felt the urge to help someone in need, a request driven by a mixture of magnanimity and wisdom. In these cases, A-Lu often brought trouble upon herself.

But also because of this, the combat level of the four people in the convenience house can be regarded as outstanding among all the students - don't think that Alu and the others look like unorganized gangster imitators, if they give their all, Alu and the others can still do a lot of things!

"There are a lot of these people, but no matter how many there are, they are just small fry!"

Mu Yue, clearly already in a frenzy, his eyes gleaming with rage. Amidst the roar of machine gunfire, the remains of the robots piled up like a mountain before him. Without a doubt, Mu Yue was their primary source of damage.

"And these secret gifts, you guys should take them too! Bang!"

The handbag Mutsuki casually threw landed in the area where the most robots were. The sound of dripping water continued to emanate from inside, followed by a loud explosion, and a mushroom cloud rose into the air among the enemies.

"Is Mutsuki playing a little too crazy?"

Looking at Mutsuki's frantic appearance, Kayoko couldn't help but sigh helplessly. "Well, forget it. There are only enemies and ruins here anyway. Even if the commotion gets bigger, it shouldn't matter. In that case, let Mutsuki have her fun."

Mutsuki in the front was clearing out the malicious soldiers who were besieging them. The other three in the back naturally didn't just stand by and watch. Kayoko, the team leader, stood at a slightly higher position, observing the surrounding situation and relaying real-time intelligence to the other three present.

Haruka, holding a shotgun, not only constantly bombarded the malicious soldiers around who wanted to get close to Alu, but also casually placed the mines she brought on the field.

In the past, Haruka once tried to place landmines all over a teaching building due to some extreme behavior. Although this was later strictly prohibited by Kayoko, Haruka, who usually looks timid, would do many dangerous things because of her extreme ideas.

However, in this place, Haruka's usual habit of laying mines was unexpectedly in line with the situation. The malicious soldiers here had to be dealt with anyway, and the mines that Haruka casually laid just happened to delay the attack of these malicious soldiers.

Even Alu is now constantly using his explosive bullets to deal with these iron racks with weak defenses and piles of them. It is a simple matter to use explosions to deal with these guys.

"If we continue in this state, the number of enemies will begin to decrease."

Seeing that the number of malicious soldiers who kept pouring in front of her had finally decreased, Kayoko finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Fortunately, these are mechanical puppets that are easy to deal with. They're still a bit different from the malicious nanomechanically enhanced soldiers we dealt with before. At the very least, we can't take out that many with just one explosion."

"It's good enough to win, why bother with so much!"

After eliminating the last mechanical soldier who wanted to rush up and attack her with an electric gun, Mutsuki finally put down the gun after a satisfying kill.

The barrels of both machine guns were red hot, emitting puffs of white smoke. The previous continuous impact had already burned the two machine guns to the point where they could roast meat. However, thanks to the mysterious materials science of Kivotos, the two machine guns were able to maintain their original appearance, without any muzzle burns or melting.

Haruka wiped the sweat from her forehead. In the previous battle, she and Mutsuki had been the two at the forefront. They had been the two frontline personnel bearing the greatest pressure, so it was natural for them to feel tired.

"With so many enemies here, does that mean we're very close to where Yak is?"

Kayoko once again used the cassette's exploration ability to track the traces left by Ark nearby. This clue led all the way forward, pointing to a hidden underground intersection.

"It looks like we're looking in the right direction."

Kayoko cast her gaze into the distance. The traces of nanomachines that had been detected before seemed to have gradually converged in a certain direction since a while ago.

"Also, the enemy seems to have discovered us."

Being able to find this location is very close to the secret military factory where Yak is. Although these malicious soldiers sent out consumed a large part of the energy of the four people in the convenience house, for Yak, it was still in a state where it had not yet fully recovered.

The armored unit under construction was only partially complete. The giant robot, the Mammoth Destroyer, was also being rushed. Although only four people from the convenience store had arrived, after surviving the recent siege, even Ark couldn't help but reassess the difficulty of the battle for Alu and the others.

Facing a battle of this magnitude, it would not be easy for an ordinary team of students to win. But the four people from the convenience house managed to survive this siege solely by relying on their own fighting skills?

"Since the last battle, Ark must have been severely injured by the president. He should be repairing himself and replenishing his troops at this time."

Kayoko walked at the front of the group, peering into the passage leading underground. It seemed that this had once been a combat platform for ascending from underground.

"In other words, the sooner we find Yake, the more incomplete the opponent's state will be, and the higher our chances of winning will be."

Remembering the video of the battle with Ark that the president had shown her, Kayoko simply rechecked her pistol and was the first to stand on the lifting platform.

"The longer we delay, the more complete their recovery will be. The army we just dealt with might become even more formidable and larger in size. In that case, we must nip the source of this disaster in the bud as soon as possible."

371. Level ZERO, Zombie Apocalypse

The huge lifting platform started up, and accompanied by the sound of mechanical roar, Alu and the other three slowly went deep into the darkness, into the deep passage, and headed towards the unknown below.

"This lifting platform is so big. What was it used to transport before?"

Alu looked around a little nervously. The farther away from the intersection above, the darker the passage below became.

Although the power in the surrounding area has not been completely lost, there are only a few small lights installed around the guardrails to indicate the range of the platform.

Apart from that, the only thing you can see is the occasional flash of sparks from the friction of the track gears, illuminating the dark tunnel around it.

"It's probably used to transport large machinery, like armored vehicles or something."

Kayoko estimated the size of the lifting platform and found that it was more than enough to accommodate more than a dozen main battle tanks.

"It's probably a lifting platform used by the arsenal to transport assembled armored units. Otherwise, there's no way to explain why it's so huge."

Kayoko looked around. The huge mechanical noise meant that they could no longer hide themselves and continue to sneak in. Kayoko had already guessed this possibility since the battle with those malicious soldiers just now.

"The battle between the malicious soldiers and us just now must have been known to Yake a long time ago."

In this case, it would be useless to hide the whereabouts of himself and others. It would be better to take advantage of this opportunity and go down as quickly as possible to attack Huanglong.

"However, how can I describe such a vast scene..."

Alu held her sniper rifle cautiously, looking around nervously. "In a game like this, there should be a lot of enemies crawling out from around. After all, if the cutscene is this long, players will lose their patience..."

"Let's not discuss the game at this hour." Kayoko sighed speechlessly. "But what you're saying is true, Alu. We have nowhere to hide while the platform is moving. A surprise attack on us at this time is the right decision..."

Before he finished speaking, dozens of red lights suddenly lit up in the darkness. Having just dealt with the malicious soldiers, Alu and the others were naturally familiar with this thing. What on earth was it?

Kayoko shouted to alert everyone, "They are malicious soldiers! They are Yaku's minions. Prepare to fight!"

"It's such a dark place? This is going to be difficult!"

Although they had just experienced a fierce battle, they also knew how difficult this mission was and that it would not be over in one battle.

After all, that was Ark who was able to fight back and forth with Danri, and the soldiers under his command almost overwhelmed the entire Millennium School District in the previous battle.

If Danreto had not defeated Kamen Rider Ark first, those malicious soldiers would have continued their siege, and the students' combat effectiveness would have been greatly reduced over time.

Machines don’t get tired, but humans definitely do.

"Everyone, be alert! They appear to be crawling towards us from the bottom of the passage. Don't let them jump onto the platform!"

Although Kayoko and the others couldn't see clearly in the pitch darkness, the red light in the eyes of those malicious soldiers still made them clear targets in the darkness. As long as they fired at the red light, they would never go wrong.

"The number this time is much smaller than before. Is it because we consumed a large number of the enemy's soldiers?"

Ah Lu asked loudly while sniping at the malicious soldiers who tried to crawl over. Fortunately, the previous battle had made them familiar with the rhythm of combat. Even if Ah Lu was in a panic, she was able to keep the output strength above the passing line.

"You're overthinking it, Alu. Those malicious soldiers are just cannon fodder. As long as we have the alloy, we can make as many as we want."

Kayoko replied, reaching into her bag and pulling out another gun. She'd requested another weapon when she'd considered facing heavily armored mechanized soldiers and the possibility of armored units. Now seemed like the perfect time to use it.

"The recoil of Kamen Rider's gashacon mahjong is a bit strong, but it can be withstood if you just use a little force. However, its power is not comparable to the small pistol I had before."

The weapon Kayoko took out was the gashacon machinist gun that the Kamen Riders had used.

This weapon is made with technology from the gaming field. As long as the cartridge is kept open in the gaming field, this gun can unleash its true strength.

However, because the power and various parameters of the Magnum gun are designed according to the physical fitness of the user in the Kamen Rider state, if someone like Kayoko wants to use the Magnum gun directly, she will have to withstand its overly domineering recoil.

However, as long as she can hold on, even Kayoko can deliver output equivalent to that of a rocket.

"I'll use this to blow you all up into the sky!"

Kayoko fastened the Magnum rifle onto the guardrail in pistol form, using the sturdiness of the guardrail itself to offset some of the recoil.

boom! boom! boom!

Just like a fixed artillery position, relying on the high-powered energy bullets of the Magnum rifle, it easily blew away all malicious soldiers who dared to approach.

"Wow~ Kayoko-chan, you brought something good. Why didn't you give it to me just now?"

Mutsuki jumped up to Kayoko and reached out to grab the Magnum gun in her hand: "Let me use it too, Kayoko-chan, I love this kind of high-powered weapon the most!"

"Okay, then Mutsuki takes it from now on."

Kayoko didn't hesitate, handing Mutsuki control of the Magnum. Mutsuki, despite her small size, effortlessly carried two machine guns, so she was sure she could handle the powerful Magnum even more skillfully than Kayoko.

"Great, Kayoko, I love you so much~"

Mutsuki couldn't let go of his new toy. In the fierce bombardment just now, relying on the high-powered energy bullets of the Magnum rifle, none of the malicious soldiers who tried to take advantage of the opportunity could enter the lifting platform. They were all blown into a pile of debris and were ruthlessly crushed as the lifting platform slowly descended.

"—We're here. From here, the nanomachine signal becomes much stronger. It seems we've found the right place."

The huge underground plaza still had tracks on the ground. Kayoko squatted down and examined the tracks.

"The marks are very old and look like they were left a long time ago. There's nothing to worry about."

"What a vast underground space! Is there still something like this beneath the former Millennium Academy campus?"

Alu looked at the vast space in front of her in amazement. She didn't expect that after the lifting platform moved down several hundred meters, she could still see such a wide underground space.

A square made of poured cement is nothing unusual, but it is indeed a bit rare to be able to build such an underground square hundreds of meters underground.

Kayoko held up the cassette, seemingly trying to determine where to go next, and replied, "This is the sewer of time, after all. It's no surprise what happens here. Let's go find some trace of Ark."

In this underground space a hundred meters deep, the lighting conditions are much better than before. I don’t know where the energy comes from to provide the lighting here.

As she walked along, whenever Alu looked up, she could always see the artificial sun on the dilapidated sky dome emitting a faint glow, illuminating this underground space that seemed like no one would ever set foot in.

"I don't feel good here. It feels too empty and too quiet..."

Haruka walked at the front of the team, holding a shotgun vigilantly, but she didn't know where to look, so she had to keep turning her head to look in all directions around her.

"...There were so many enemies up there besieging us, but when we got here, why is there no one in sight?"

The nervous crowd passed by a building that looked quite old. The logo on the top of the building, which consisted of half a leaf and English, looked very strange.

But no matter how curious they were, it looked like it was created a long time ago. To Alu and the others now, it was just a meaningless ancient building.

"look here."

Kayoko suddenly stopped everyone in front of her and asked them to look at the front. Mutsuki lowered his head and kicked the remains of a mechanical soldier on the ground.

"It's a robot from Caesar Corporation."

A body appeared here for unknown reasons. It seemed that he had died here not long ago. His head was shattered and scattered electronic components fell to the ground, but it seemed that they were not taken away by others. He just lay here quietly.

"Why did Caesar's robot fall here?"

Ah Lu took a timid step back, but hiding behind Haruka, she still looked at the robot wreckage on the ground: "I remember some intelligence said that Caesar Company once sent a task force into the ruins..."

"Solid Snake Team."

Kayoko's brain was sharp enough for him to memorize all the important information. "It must be a member of the Solid Snake Team that Caesar Corporation sent to recover the Ark Drive from the Millennium Ruins. These special operations teams are responsible for the most dangerous missions. Even if it fell here, they wouldn't go to the trouble of recovering it for the sake of the mission."

Kayoko looked towards the underground complex in the distance. "Solid Snake Squad was sent out to recover the Ark Driver, so the place where he fell must be not far from the so-called secret military factory."

5 minutes later.

Just as Kayoko expected, they were once again blocked by the army of malicious soldiers under Ark, and this time, the enemies they encountered were even more ferocious.

This time, Ark's malicious soldiers not only sent individuals with nanomechanical enhancements, but also armored units into the battlefield.

"Light armored vehicles, main battle tanks, attack helicopters, and even heavy combat puppets... my goodness, they're treating us like an army."

Hiding behind a concrete bunker, Mutsuki fired the Magnum rifle one after another. After switching to sniper mode, even Mutsuki's hands, which were born with extraordinary strength, could not withstand the recoil caused by frequent shooting.

But what they got in return was a powerful firepower, like an artillery bombardment, which repeatedly blew away the armored forces that rushed forward.

"It looks like we're very close to the finish line."

Kayoko did not use her pistol again, but instead switched to the machine gun that Mutsuki had temporarily replaced.

Her small pistol alone was not powerful enough to deal with these aggressive enemies.

In this vast underground space, even armed helicopters can be pulled out and used by the opposite side, not to mention those main battle tanks that can knock them all down with just one shot. At this moment, more than a dozen of them were sent out as if they were free.

"Wow, wow, wow, wow—can we really withstand such heavy firepower?"

Alu felt that the movement of pulling the bolt was almost numb, and the sniper rifle in his hand had never experienced a battle with such frequent shooting.

There were so many enemies in front of him that Alu didn't even need to take aim. He just had to hold the loaded gun against the window and could hit anyone by pulling the trigger with his eyes closed.

"The enemy's firepower and numbers are both superior to ours... Master Alu! I can't hold on any longer!"

Even Haruka was a little overwhelmed by the intensity of the battle. She shouted to Kayoko and the others behind her, "If the firepower doubles, we really won't be able to withstand it. We won't be able to make it through!"
