Chapter 860 Encounter on a narrow road

 Christmas Eve.

For people living on the ground, it was a peaceful and peaceful night. Couples came to the streets one after another, listening to Christmas Eve songs and taking photos with the Christmas tree. In the brightly lit room, parents and children reunited and enjoyed happy family time.

 While people were enjoying peace and joy, deep underground, a **** and cruel war was unfolding.

 The final battle between humans and ghouls.

For the ghouls, they have no retreat. Area 24 is the last refuge for the ghouls. Once they lose this place, they will be completely destroyed - and this is also the purpose of the countermeasures bureau.

 That is to completely eliminate the ghouls at all costs.

If it were on the ground, then the ghouls might be able to use the wide space to deal with humans. But in the narrow underground tunnels, they have no way to continue doing this. Then the method of fighting is very simple and direct - the brave one wins when they meet on a narrow road.

 Only the one who survives to the end is the winner!

 The sound of gunfire and screams echoed in the narrow tunnel. A ragged woman was hiding in a cave behind the tunnel, holding her daughter tightly. Listening to the roars and screams from outside, she gritted her teeth and turned red, while the girl in her arms looked pale and hugged her mother tremblingly.

 “Mom, dad, he...”

"ah---!!"

However, before the girl's voice fell, a scream suddenly came from the tunnel. When she heard the sound, the girl suddenly panicked.

 “Dad——woo——!”

But the moment the girl opened her mouth, the woman covered her mouth. She looked out at the dim tunnel, silent for a moment, then lowered her head and stared at the child in her arms.

 “Get out of here quickly, kid.”

 “Mom, but dad…”

 “Mom will save dad.”

As the woman spoke, she stood up with a serious expression. She looked at the child in her arms, stretched out her hand, and wiped her little face.

“Quick, listen to mom and run along the tunnel without being discovered by anyone. Mom will meet you after she rescues dad, okay?”

"………Um."

Hearing what the woman said, the girl stretched out her hand, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, nodded, then reached out and hugged her mother.

 “Mom, you must come back...”

　　………Well, mom will definitely come back.”

Hearing the girl's whisper, the woman smiled and reached out to touch the girl's head.

 “Go…”

"Um……"

The girl nodded, then she let go of her hands, glanced at her mother reluctantly, then turned around and quickly disappeared into the depths of the dark tunnel.

 The woman just stood there, looking at her daughter's figure silently. It wasn't until she completely disappeared into the darkness that the woman turned her head again and looked forward. Then her body began to twist and deform, the blood-red pupils in the dark eyes shone with crazy brilliance, and a long tail came out from behind the woman. Then, the woman who turned into a ghoul looked like an ivy. , jumped up and ran to the wall, then moved his limbs and rushed forward quickly!

Passing through the dark tunnel, the gunfire at this moment has become sporadic. The woman can see that in front of the tunnel, investigators and soldiers in white uniforms from the Countermeasures Bureau are moving forward with flashlights raised, and in front of them are The ground was stained with blood and torn corpses were everywhere.

The most eye-catching thing among them is a strong ghoul lying in front of the tunnel. Its body is like a hill, almost blocking half of the tunnel entrance. At this moment, the soldiers are trying hard to move the body away. , so move on.

"Roar---!"

Seeing the corpse, the woman's eyes flashed red again. She screamed and rushed over. At the same time, the woman's tail shot out like a spear, directly piercing several Countermeasures Bureau soldiers who were decomposing the corpse. A thorough one.

 “There’s more here!”

 “Shoot quickly!”

Facing the sudden attack, the soldiers of the Countermeasures Bureau were also taken aback. They raised their weapons and aimed at the woman and launched an attack. However, the woman dodged their attacks again and again at a very fast speed, but it was obvious that the soldiers of the Countermeasures Bureau were not completely unprepared for this.

 “Throw a grenade!”

Following the order, several soldiers rushed forward, took out grenades and threw them near the woman. These were not ordinary grenades, but special white phosphorus bombs. Ordinary grenades and flames have no effect on ghouls. Only this cruel weapon can bring enough damage to them.

"snort!"

Looking at the grenade thrown towards her, the woman sneered inwardly, then swung her tail out suddenly, hitting the grenade directly and sending it flying back. The soldiers were hit by the rebounding grenade before they had time to dodge. With the sound of explosion, the burning flames immediately swallowed up the soldiers completely, and the soldiers fell to the ground in despair and screamed.

The woman didn't care about this. She dodged again and attacked the investigator at the back of the team.

However, what the woman didn't expect was that just as she passed through the painfully struggling soldiers, those soldiers who were covered in the flames of white phosphorus bombs rushed over and hugged them tightly. she!

"What are you doing? Damn it, let me go!"

　　The woman was also shocked when she was tightly grabbed by these soldiers. Her tail swung again, and then she saw several soldiers' heads being randomly knocked out. However, the other soldiers still moved forward bravely and caught her without fear of death.

 “Mr. Investigator, take action!”

 “Kill this ghoul!”

 “Don’t worry about us!”

"you………!"

The woman was also shocked when she heard the roars of the soldiers who were holding her and lying on her body as they endured the flames of white phosphorus bombs. Only then did she see the eyes of the soldiers who were holding her looking at her. There is no fear, let alone fear and despair. On the contrary, there is only firm will and anger!

 “Go to hell, you man-eating monster!”

 “Hoo————!”

　　A spear was stabbed towards the woman's head, directly piercing through the woman's head and making a big hole in the back of her head. The woman's body shook for a moment, and then she slowly fell backwards. The moment she fell, what she was looking at was the tunnel behind her.

 Hope...you can survive...my daughter...

  Immediately afterwards, the woman’s world was completely swallowed up by darkness.

The flames were burning brightly. The investigator holding a spear looked at his colleagues who hugged the ghoul tightly and died for it. He lowered his head and remained silent for a moment. Then he raised his head and looked forward.

 “Keep going, this time we must completely eliminate the ghouls!”

"yes!!"

 There was almost no light in the dark tunnel.

The girl stumbled and ran, her mind went blank. She had no idea where she should go or who she should look for. But the girl firmly believes that her mother will come back, she will bring her father back to her, and everyone will live a happy life together again...

"Mom...Dad...ah...!" Just as the girl turned the corner, she suddenly bumped into something extremely hard, causing the girl to fall backwards and sit on the ground. At first the girl thought she had hit a door or a pillar or something, but when she raised her head, she saw that what was standing in front of her was a terrifying warrior wearing pitch black steel armor, staring at it coldly. Looking at the girl, a scarlet radiance emitted from the helmet.

 “Hey——!”

Although the girl didn't know what it was, her instinct still made her jump up, turn around and try to escape - at the same time, a cold light flashed.

The girl's head spun and flew out, then hit the wall and fell to the ground. Her body took half a step forward like a baby learning to walk, and then fell to the ground.

 The Iron Warrior looked away, clenched the power sword in his hand, turned around and continued walking forward.

This is just a corner of the battlefield, where both ghouls and humans are already killing each other. Humans will never allow any ghoul to survive, and in order to survive, ghouls must kill all invading humans.

 “Damn it, how could this happen...!”

 Having repelled the human attack again, the blue-haired boy gritted his teeth. It was beyond their expectations that the Countermeasures Bureau dispatched such a large-scale force, but it made sense after thinking about it carefully. However, what puzzles them the most is the will of these soldiers - under normal circumstances, these lackeys of the Countermeasures Bureau would have escaped long ago when faced with the invincible ghouls. But this time, no matter how many people they killed, there were still people who rushed towards them without fear of death.

 “Damn…”

The blue-haired boy looked at his right hand and spat. That was the injury he suffered just now. At that time, he grabbed a soldier and tried to force him to beg for mercy. As a result, the latter laughed and pulled the grenade away, blowing off the blue-haired boy's arm. Although he recovered quickly, the blue-haired boy was still shocked by the opponent's aura. He seemed to have discovered for the first time that human beings have such a terrifying side.

 And this is not just an isolated case.

From every battlefield, the blue-haired boy could hear similar reports. Human beings are not afraid of death at all. They are simply filling this huge battlefield with human lives like crazy, and are ruthlessly executing not to eliminate the ghouls. A never-ending strategy. Although the ghoul is indeed powerful, after all, the enemy is outnumbered. Even ordinary cooperative soldiers who usually seem to pose no threat will not be able to break free easily if they risk their lives to entangle the ghoul.

"Why………"

At this moment, the blue-haired boy felt extremely sad and angry inside.

 Why do you have to exterminate us? Why are you trying so hard to let us go? Are we really not allowed to live in this world?

 Is there really only one way for us to be destroyed?

Until the smell of rust came from the corner of his mouth, the blue-haired boy realized that he had bitten his lip completely. He retracted his thoughts and prepared to fight again. However, at this moment, suddenly, the blue-haired boy received a report from the front.

 “Headquarters, we can’t stop it, Steel Demon... Damn Steel Demon...!”

 However, before the words could be finished, the communication was interrupted.

 “Is it finally here?”

But the blue-haired boy who heard the communication did not feel scared or confused. On the contrary, he stood up and looked forward. In fact, from the very beginning of the battle, the blue-haired boy received news from all over the battlefield - a group of tall, unidentified warriors wearing dark steel armor appeared on the battlefield, ruthlessly Destroyed all the ghouls in their way. But the powerful power of the ghoul is of no use to them.

After hearing these reports, the blue-haired boy immediately remembered a conversation he had with the masked man before going to Area 24.

At that time, the masked man had always believed that a new force had entered here, and that they came to destroy the ghouls.

At that time, the blue-haired boy was still confused as to why the masked man was so sure, and the latter also told the reason. In recent times, ghouls have been hunted down and hunted by investigators on a large scale, which shows that the Countermeasures Bureau must have more advanced methods to deal with ghouls. But there has been no similar news, so if you think about it carefully, it is more likely that a new force will enter.

 After all, they and the Countermeasures Bureau have been in love and fighting each other for so many years, and they still know very well what the Countermeasures Bureau has.

But the blue-haired boy had some doubts about the masked man's speculation.

“If this is the case, then why do we know nothing about this emerging force?”

Faced with the blue-haired boy's question, the masked man just looked at him and said something.

 “Because all the ghouls who met them died.”

Now it seems that it is indeed the case.

but………

“I want to see how powerful these people are!”

Clenching his fists, the blue-haired boy stared forward. Soon, not long after, he saw two red dots appear in the dark tunnel. Then, the blue-haired boy saw a tall, tall man wearing a black steel suit. The warrior with the battle armor and the skull pattern inlaid on the chest walked over with a hand-held war hammer. On the war hammer, you could still see stains of blood.

 Behind him, a blond girl wearing a dress was walking beside him.

“I didn’t expect that there would be someone faster than us.”

Duanmuhuai couldn't help but be surprised when he looked at the bodies of the investigators and countermeasures bureau soldiers on the ground in front of him.

 “It seems they are quite lucky.”

“Is this luck, Mr. Duanmu?”

Mary complained silently. Indeed, she was surprised that a team from the Countermeasures Bureau could reach the core area of ​​Area 24 before Duanmu Huai opened the perspective map. But looking at the opponent's annihilated appearance, it's hard to tell whether they are lucky or bad.

“Are you the mysterious force that came to destroy us?”

Looking at Duanmu Huai in front of him, the blue-haired boy glared at him fiercely.

 “I want to see what you are capable of!”

As he spoke, the blue-haired boy jumped up, and then a light wing emerged from behind him, and flying thorns surged out from it, hitting Duanmu Huai directly. Of course, this kind of attack that can penetrate the human body is very important to Duanmu Huai. It's not even a scratch on Huai's armor.

"really interesting."

　　Just seeing the attack of the blue-haired boy in front of him, Duanmu Huai couldn't help but sigh.

“I didn’t expect that I could still encounter the same attack. I thought it was quite rare.”

"What did you say?!"

Hearing Duanmu Huai's emotion, the blue-haired boy's heart sank. Although each ghoul's temperament is different, when it comes to the same attack, the only thing the blue-haired boy can think of is his twin sister—— She also has the same temperament as herself, so she can naturally launch the same attack.

 “Where have you seen attacks like mine before? Tell me!”

Thinking of this, the blue-haired boy distanced himself from Duanmu Huai and glared at him angrily. At the same time, his heart couldn't help but tremble, because at this moment, the blue-haired boy had a bad premonition...

Duanmu Huai didn't care at all about the blue-haired boy's inquiry.

"I remember she was a blue-haired female ghoul. She was quite desperate at the time. Of course she couldn't do anything in front of me, but her light wings were quite beautiful, similar to yours... Could it be that you are twins? "

 “You bastard!!”

Hearing this, the blue-haired boy felt endless anger, instantly bursting out from deep within him.

 “I must kill you!!”

With the roar, the blue-haired boy rushed towards Duanmuhuai again!
