Chapter 9
The helicopter engine roared, the air in the cabin was as taut as a string, everyone's face was as gloomy as water, the solemn atmosphere almost solidified into reality.
Hoshina Soshiro's eyes swept across the tactical display, passed by a guy who always stayed out of the matter, and fell on the tense faces of the other team members. He could understand them very well.
The monster he faced on his first mission was a flying one, which was indeed a bit tricky. Just as his fingertips touched the earphone, and the command was still in his throat, the fuselage suddenly shook -
"Maintain altitude 300! Target confirmed! There are 37 remaining beasts. Attention! Monster scale powder is burning, please be careful!" Xiao Jinmu Haomei's urgent warning penetrated the channel.
"Understood." After receiving the information from Kokonoki Yoshimi, Hoshina Soshiro quickly switched the conversation channel: "The battle plan is as follows. Captain Abai's team will be responsible for defeating the main beast. Your mission is to assist in eliminating the remaining beasts."
He glanced at the yellow light-filled subjugation zone screen, where the red dots representing monsters were moving. He continued, "Since this is an aerial battle, the monsters are flying, so the risk is high. The teams with new recruits will be deployed on the outermost perimeter."
Before he finished speaking——
Zila! A sharp noise exploded! Then, the team member's almost hoarse cry exploded over the communication:
"Vice-Captain Hoshina! Kurozuka! Kurozuka—jumped out of the hatch!!!"
Hoshina Soshiro: "...?!"
Outside the cabin, the fierce wind was like a knife.
Kurozuka Wushi's body fell rapidly from a height of ten thousand feet, his long black hair surging in the strong wind like a raging sea.
She ignored the heart-wrenching feeling of weightlessness, twisted her waist in mid-air, raised her arms, locked them—
Bang!
A sharp explosion tore through the air, and in the distance, a winged monster exploded into a sky full of burning fireworks.
Before the shockwave of the explosion reached her, she had already curled up and landed on the back of a passing monster with the precision of a meteorite.
The soles of her boots crushed the rough skin covering the scales, but her body remained steady as a rock. The hot flames of scale powder exploded and splashed around her feet.
Golden-red flames licked the air, casting a shadow on her like a celestial being bathed in flames. The intense heat distorted her vision, but only made the eyes that occasionally passed through the gaps in her hair seem even colder and more icy, without a ripple.
A strong...smell. Kurozuka Kirishi looked down at the monster under her feet, then without hesitation, quickly shot it, turned around and jumped onto another monster that was rushing towards her and wanted to attack her.
"Hiss! So strong!!!" Itami Koji stared at this scene with starry eyes.
On the side, Qian Shi Shuoye glanced at him coldly, without saying a word, the silver stud on his earlobe flashed coldly, he suddenly retreated, kicked the ground, and his body shot towards the cabin door like a bullet, and jumped into the gust of wind with determination.
Fujimine Tsukasa's fingertips finally slid across the cold metal of the gun, his gray-blue ponytail motionless in the air current. He tilted his head, his lips curled up in an undisguised, almost arrogant challenge, and threw two words at Itami Koji:
"Follow me." Before he finished speaking, his figure disappeared outside the cabin.
"No! You all should wait for me too!!!"
"These guys..." Hoshina Soshiro tapped his chin with his fingertips, looking at the real-time battle footage, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips: "They really surprised the seniors."
However, no matter how much praise they deserved, they still had to be punished. As soon as the mission was over, the deputy captain ruthlessly dragged the four "problem children" who jumped out of the plane without permission to the playground.
At this moment, the morning light is dim, and the dew on the grass tips is shaken off by running footsteps.
Itami Koji was like a stranded fish, gasping frantically with his mouth open. His eyes were vacant as he stared at the three figures in front of him, who looked like they were perpetual motion machines. His heart was wailing loudly:
What the hell! Where do these three monsters get such abnormal physical strength?!
Little did they know that Sengoku Sakuya and Fujimine Tsukasa, who were running side by side, exchanged a glance, and each read the same despair on the other's pale face:
That girl in front of me who was running at a steady pace the entire time, not even having her breathing disordered...is she really still human?!
When Kurozuka Kirishi circled again and passed Itami at the end of the team—
"Big, big boss!" Itami Koji grasped at a lifeline, using up his last bit of strength to give a fiery, devout look. Even two tears of desperate need to survive streamed from the corners of his eyes. "Please, please take me flying!!!"
Kurozuka Kirishi's steps paused slightly. She stared at him for a moment, then lowered her head in silence: "...Yeah."
Half a minute later, a strong wind blew past Qianshi and Fujimine Tsukasa.
The two looked up in astonishment, their expressions instantly twisted into the world-famous painting "The Scream":
There was a white rope around the waist of the green-haired boy Itami Koji, and the other end of the rope was firmly grasped in the hand of Kurozuka Kirishi.
What was even more shocking was that the girl's speed did not slow down, but instead seemed to have released some kind of seal.
She dragged Itami, who looked hopeless and had suspicious white foam at the corners of his mouth, forward at an astonishing speed, like dragging a large human kite.
The eerie scene also reveals an indescribable, wildly youthful (?) aura!!!
Fujimine Tsukasa gasped, his voice changing tone: "Koji... is there... bubbles at the corner of his mouth?"
Sengoku Sakuya uttered a difficult "hmm". Then he saw Fujimine Tsukasa's face turn pale, as if he had seen a ghost. He burst out with unprecedented potential and chased after him furiously.
Sengoku Sakuye had no choice but to grit his teeth and resign himself to his fate, speeding up to catch up.
When Soshiro of the Toho Department came over leisurely for the "inspection", he saw such a chaotic scene.
The originally serious penalty run has turned into a thrilling life-and-death speed chase.
Leading the way was Kurozuka, who was running at full speed, dragging his "human-shaped pendant" with him. In the middle was Itami, who had a dull look in his eyes and a suspicious mouth. Behind him were Fujimine and Chigoku, who were chasing desperately with ferocious faces.
The four of them were running so fast that they lost themselves in thought and didn't know what day it was.
Hoshina Soshiro's gaze lingered for three seconds on the strange "dragging" scene and the two grinning guys chasing after him—
"Puff...Puff, hahaha!" He suddenly covered his mouth, his shoulders shaking violently, and finally he couldn't hold it in any longer and burst into earth-shattering laughter.
"Hahahaha! Funny! They're all so serious when they're apart, but when the four of them get together... it's so funny! Hahahaha!"
That insane laughter was like thunder from a clear sky, instantly silencing everyone on the playground. The four people below all raised their heads in unison as if they had been electrocuted, their movements as unified as if they had been copied and pasted.
After observing for a while and recognizing the person's identity, Kurozuka Kirishi subconsciously chose to "brake" and threw the white rope in his hand onto the grass like throwing away garbage.
I got caught helping someone cheat...
At this moment, she didn't dare to look up at all, and naturally, she ignored the "human mop" lying dead next to her and the teammate who was about to die behind her.
"Puff..." After the rope was "untied", Itami Koji fell flat on the ground like a piece of plasticine with its bones pulled out. His eyes were vacant as if he had been played with by someone, which made people feel sad.
Fujimine Tsukasa was like a koala at this moment, clinging tightly to Sengoku Sakuya's back, making Sengoku's face turn green.
He used the last 0.1% of his battery to glare resentfully at the pervert in front of him who had the same hairstyle and didn't even breathe. Then he thought about his own miserable condition and that of Qianshi, who was forced to be his mount.
"I *** (auto-mute)——! **!..." The beautiful and charming red lips trembled and uttered meaningless words, but in the end, it could not withstand the CPU overheating.
He rolled his eyes, and his head slammed onto Sengoku Sakuya's shoulder, and he completely fainted.
Sengoku Sakuya took a deep breath and let out a desperate sigh.
