Chapter 126 School Offensive
Smoke and dust swept across the earth. The Paster meter was of little use at this time. Everyone knew that the radiation here was extremely high.
No more than two hundred meters from the main radiation point, a woman holding a gimbal in her mouth and a telescope asked the woman next to her, "Hey, is that a crown?"
"Is that so?"
The slender woman next to her, her eyelids lowered, fiddled intently with the calculator-shaped object in her hand, piecing together a new pixel image on the display.
The two of them squatted in a khaki barrier that resembled a trench. Except for a circle of light blue shield around them, the rest of the area was completely immersed in the radiation storm.
Even here, it is just a small boat tossing in the storm, which may be overturned by the waves at any time.
Without explicit instructions from the Church, the scouts could not retreat.
They will stay here until the very last moment, even if their bodies are completely dissolved - fortunately, the church will not use such elites as cannon fodder. The X3-level protective suits and high-level artifacts specially designed to protect spiritual bodies on the two of them are enough to make smaller organizations scramble for them.
"Hmph—perfunctory." The strong woman continued to observe the situation not far away, muttering, "Oh, I think the battle in there is already a winner. That devil is no match."
Her companion immediately retorted, "Not necessarily. We were too far away when it entered. Experts say it's at least two to three days away from the emergence of power. We should still warn the remaining combat teams to be prepared to fight two or more high-Paster-value creatures."
"…Tsk." The strong woman muttered. Seeing her companion still tinkering with the device, she couldn't help but complain, "Hey, the Pasteur values around here are consistently in the thousands. If you can't go back, do you have any last words?"
"Yeah." The slender woman pushed up her glasses and propped up her head. "My money is all with Ada. Let my mom ask Ada for it. If that bastard dies, I can ask Ada's daughter for it."
"Huh? You left your money with Ada?! Hey!" The strong woman put down the binoculars and raised her finger. But then she remembered her companion hated being pointed at, and she put it down again in frustration.
She sighed and finally scratched her head helplessly: "Don't you have any last words for me?"
"Yes."
“Yeah.”
The slender woman looked into her eyes and said seriously, "Don't yell at me next time. I have a name."
"..." The strong woman rolled her eyes and struggled with her right hand in the air. Before she could think of what to say, she suddenly saw her companion stand up with a bang, staggering towards her with arms open.
Hehe, she grinned happily and opened her arms——
"Don't block the way!" His companion pushed him away and anxiously raised the telescope to aim at the smoky crown.
"What are you doing!" The strong woman rushed over angrily, and then her attention was drawn to the wonders in the sky.
Of course they knew that the church would send reinforcements, and that the reinforcements would ride in high-quality vehicles such as steel buses, using charging rituals to propel them at all costs in order to seize power.
A brilliant flame would consume all enemies in its path. A brilliant blue blaze shot skyward, making the vehicle shimmer like a meteor. Several meteors would streak across the night sky, violently impacting the barrier where power was born, tearing through the membrane and releasing a large number of elite personnel to engage in fierce combat with the anomalies stationed within.
But the current scene is not like this——
There was a gap of emptiness within the bright blue flames. This empty space didn't become a breakthrough point, but rather resembled the pale edge of a sharp sword. When the "sword" swung down with force, the mist rolled and surged like waves, eventually dissolving into nothingness.
"What is that...?"
No one could answer, and they used telescopes to observe the strange sight visible to the naked eye.
Three steel buses were the first to leap out of the "water," whirring forward along the transparent track. They were incredibly fast, covering the vast distance in a matter of seconds. The anomalous barrier seemed like a nonexistent shadow before them.
There was no sound, no light, no shadow, no fluctuation.
The silver-white bus at the head was like the tip of a sword of nothingness. It pierced the barrier lightly and released students one by one in the surging air waves. The whole process was beautiful and freehand.
"They landed successfully."
The slender woman raised her hand to help her companion steady the telescope, and the two of them stared nervously at the scene inside.
According to the original inference, when the reinforcements broke through the barrier, an extremely terrifying explosion would occur, and the radioactive dust would instantly become dense enough to destroy all non-magical equipment and make low-level magic items ineffective.
In that situation, she could only pray that she didn't faint or die, and rely on the few special items on her body to continue to provide observation data to the church.
After all, there are many reconnaissance teams like theirs nearby, and there are always lucky and strong people who can maintain the communication nodes so that the knights stationed nearby can get the correct intelligence.
However, nothing happened.
The abnormal area that was still gathering power was easily penetrated. Except for the "crown" on the top which still maintained its basic appearance, the Paster value below had dropped to 500 or even lower, and even the fog dissipated automatically.
She can now see what's going on inside with her naked eyes and superpowers, and uses the telescope just to see more clearly.
The bus door opened, and the first person to get out was...
"Chen Xiao'er." She murmured to herself, "She has very special superpowers... Is it because of her?"
As an ordinary elite investigator, she did not know the relationship between Chen Xiao'er and Quan Neng.
But after watching the scene just now, the smart woman had already noticed something wrong: the "crown" was tilting, moving a little bit to the right from the leftmost end of the cloud. This was not an escape but an approach.
The anomaly lurking here must have discovered Chen Xiao'e. Did it choose to approach her at this time in order to devour her? If so, it meant that Chen Xiao'e was worthy of the great being's special attention.
If not... could it be that the power itself is approaching her, approaching a human who can use his own superpowers to fight against the embryonic form of the power?
What exactly is Chen Xiao'er?
She unconsciously squeezed her companion's hand, and her companion said nothing.
…
Click~ The car door opened, Chen Xiao'er was the first to jump out, followed by Ling.
"Xiao'e, how is it down there?" Professor Milo stood at the car door.
Chen Xiao'er turned around and found that the other classmates had not come down yet, and many of them were leaning against the windows, staring outside.
Uh, what are you guys doing?
She was a little confused at first, but when she looked forward, she understood: there were three big wolfhounds tied at the door of this food processing factory!
"Ah!" She pulled Ling's arm and dodged backwards.
Unexpectedly, the three wolfhounds also made "woofing" sounds when they saw her, and hid behind the fence, dragging their chains and whimpering.
Chen Xiao'er hid behind Ling for two minutes. Only when she found that the wolfhound did not move did she dare to come out and continue looking at the factory not far away.
This food processing plant was just as described in the diary. It covered a very large area and had five or six chimneys. From a distance, it looked more like a power plant.
The buildings inside are arranged in a checkerboard pattern. Looking in from the main gate, you can see two rectangular buildings in the front. Each building is as wide as several shops put together, like a horizontal teaching building.
Unlike the densely packed buildings in the front row, the back row only had one building over three stories high. Its entrance was hidden from view, perhaps connected to the building in front, requiring a special elevator from the inside.
In addition to having a lot of chimneys, this food processing factory also has very high walls.
The outer wall was at least five meters high, completely shielding the surrounding area, giving it the appearance of a prison. Even more outrageous was the addition of metal guardrails, with sharpened metal rods sticking up from it like golden arrows piercing the sky.
This level of security is too suspicious. No legitimate food processing plant would be so strictly guarded.
Chen Xiao'er squeezed Ling's hand, and after receiving an affirmative nod from the other party, she walked towards the main gate.
"Woof, woof woof...woof." The three vicious dogs called out twice in soft voices. When they found that she was unmoved, they tucked their tails between their legs and shrank to the side, not daring to even breathe.
...She is worthy of being classmate Chen Xiao'er!
The students quickly took the opportunity to equip themselves with weapons and left the steel bus one by one under the leadership of the team leader.
Professor Milo watched them go away and sat back in his seat.
[“What’s wrong? Aren’t you going to help my beloved disciples?”] The devil’s voice had a subtle pause.
Miroku smiled softly and answered in her heart: There is no need, she and Zero will not lose.
"So confident in humans?"
Of course, don't you too.
"Haha, they're all the same."
Milo was too lazy to play word games with the devil. She took out the film she had just shot and put it into the metal box, then sat quietly in her seat waiting for the driver to start the bus and take her to the knight's residence.
"I'm curious." The devil chuckled. "What would I do if my disciples failed?"
According to the conclusion reached by the church, if the students' fight for power fails completely, the knights outside will not come to rescue the wounded.
They will concentrate their strength for the final plunder, or destroy everything here, leaving no body, soul or energy.
"you guess."
Amid the sound of the bus engine, Milo took out a tube of lipstick, pressed it against his lips and applied it carefully.
This strange object has serious side effects. It will consume supernatural powers at several times the rate. The effect is also very strong. It can enhance people's rational thinking, speed up thinking, and even make time seem slow.
[“Milo, useless thinking will only bring pain.”]
Who said this is for thinking? I'm trying to prevent you from taking over my body. Devil, how does it feel to lose such a great opportunity?
“Hahaha, hahahahahahaha.”
The devil laughed happily.
…
Chen Xiao'er and the apostle walked in the first, followed by Zheng Xiuli and Lin Lang who had transformed into a werewolf.
The other students followed further behind, some even having to hold heavy radios and corresponding artifacts to try to maintain stable communication. They couldn't stray too far from Chen Xiao'er, because only those next to Chen could still send a normal signal.
The giant three-headed hound in front of them huddled up, its six front paws covering its three heads. This giant creature, capable of provoking a fierce battle, now trembled in fear.
There were many humanoid monsters around, but none dared to challenge Chen and the apostles. They all stepped aside, making way for the humans.
Finally, the stone giant guarding the pure golden door opened his eyes, raised his right hand and slapped Chen hard!
"careful--"
…
"careful--"
The classmates' exclamations rang in his ears, but even faster than that was Zero's action.
Before Chen Xiao'er could react, Ling dodged and caught the wrist that was hit by the security guard, and twisted it back with force!
