It would be great if there was a nuclear bomb

　　The three of them landed in a forest similar to a tropical rain forest. However, plants such as metasequoia and maple are caught in the field of vision.

　　Maybe the environment was affected by the virus, even though it was Tokyo in early spring at this time, the maple trees were showing red leaves.

　　The weeds growing under the tree also looked brown as if their roots were rotting, and gave off a pungent smell.

　　"Can the Gastrea Virus affect plants?"

　　Mine looked at her surroundings and frowned slightly.

　　"Don't worry about the virus, even if you get infected, it doesn't matter."

　　Ryota dragged the toolboxes that were scattered on the ground one by one, and said at the same time:

　　"Once the quest is completed and we return to the safe house, all of our wounds will be healed by the guild system. Don't you know, Mine?"

　　"I know, I've seen the experience sharing posts." Mine replied, "I'm just a little skeptical about the specific effects."

　　"The effect... I can only say it's amazing!"

　　After Ryota dragged away all the scattered equipment, he said with a smile:

　　"Not only injuries, but even physical strength and clothing will return to their original state. Metaphorically speaking… it's like turning back time."

　　"Since there's such an effect, let's go on a quest." Kiritsugu also interjected.

　　He took out the weapon he chose from the toolbox that Ryota had dragged along, his eyes turning cold and sharp.

　　Mine was a little shy, hugging her Tegu, Pumpkin, with a slightly hesitant look on her face.

　　"That..."

　　She asked Ryota: "Is it true that only Vibranium can kill Gastrea?"

　　"Of course not. Vibranium can only withstand its regenerative abilities and kill it more efficiently."

　　Ryota saw Mine's attachment, and explained with an example: "Let me make a simple analogy. If you use Vibranium bullets to shoot Gastrea in stage 1, it might take you only three or so shots, and you can kill it without hitting any vitals. But if you attack with ordinary weapons, if you can't hit the vital points, you basically can't cause fatal injuries to them, because they can recover quickly..."

　　He briefly explained the characteristics of the Gastrea at each stage.

　　Gastrea stage 2 builds on stage 1, ushering in a round of comprehensive upgrades.

　　At stage 3, regular pistol and rifle bullets can cause limited damage.

　　They could even regenerate and reorganize severed limbs, and even if they were hit by a vital point, they didn't take much damage. They must be attacked with Vibranium or burned to kill them.

　　And stage 4... Large size is one aspect.

　　On the other hand, they had lost their vital points, and at the same time, their resistance to Vibranium had been strengthened.

　　The bullets fired by ordinary firearms couldn't even penetrate their skin.

　　Only heavy machine guns or anti-tank guns with ammunition can hardly compete with them. But in order to kill, it must be removed until there is no residue left, and a large consumption of ammunition is unavoidable.

　　This is also the reason why the army is repeatedly helpless.

　　As for stage 5, a body form several hundred meters tall, regeneration ability at the molecular level.

　　"So," Ryota concluded, "put your weapons away first. The military provided us with enough ammunition. Get to know the new sniper rifle and use sniper bullets to kill enemies."

　　"Okay."

　　Mine put down the Pumpkin and picked up a modern style sniper rifle. After sorting out her mood, she said:

　　"I will adapt quickly to show you, I am a shooting genius!"

　　Seeing that she and Kiritsugu were ready, Ryota took a deep breath and put himself into a fighting state.

　　Then organize loudly: "Later, I will leave this height, make a fuss to attract the Gastrea, and then fight them at close range, so that their attention is on me. You take advantage of this opportunity to sneak attack from. Don't worry about gunshots, I should be louder than you. If there is an accident and you are found by Gastrea, if you can handle it, you can handle it yourself, if you can't…"

　　He pointed to the earphones placed in one ear and said:

　　"Just call me, I'll be right back to rescue, and then depending on the exposure, see if I want to go to the next commanding height."

　　"Does not matter." Kiritsugu nodded.

　　Mine also replied: "Me too."

　　Ryota gave them a general plan beforehand.

　　Surprise and concern had been revealed long before.

　　The current plan is the result of consultations.

　　So there is no resistance between the two.

　　"Then let's begin."

　　Ryota stabbed with his right hand, and a bloody sword appeared in his hand.

　　A weapon style that was completely different from firearms made Mine and Kiritsugu.

　　"You really want to use this kind of thing against Gastrea?"

　　Mine pointed at the sword and said suspiciously:

　　"Is it really all right? It's still too late to ask the military for a handful of Vibranium, Shiro, you should think about it."

　　Mine's voice just fell, the tyranny in Ryota's eyes became stronger.

He quickly said in a serious tone: "Mine, if you persuade me to cheat again, this sword will cut you."

　　Mine:? ? ?

　　Ryota didn't explain anything, just sighed: "I can't take other cold weapons... It would be great if there were individual nuclear bombs."

　　"Individual nuclear bomb..."

　　Kiritsugu said speechlessly:

　　"Not possible in the Tokyo Area. Even if there is such a technology, the war has been going on for ten years, and the resources in the area encircled by the Monolith are extremely scarce, and the supplies must have long been exhausted. "

　　With this kind of thing, wouldn't a Gastrea who was under Stage 5 just get killed?

　　"What is a nuclear bomb?" Mine asked curiously.

　　Kiritsugu glanced at her, and explained a few words.

　　Upon hearing this, Mine exclaimed in amazement:

　　"Humans even have weapons like that… How could they lose?"

　　"Mine, you need to know that the crisis is not limited to Gastrea, but also the virus. Viruses are the root cause of all disasters."

　　Ryota shook his head, not surprised by the results of the humans losing.

　　Before time travel, he also worked as a keyboard warrior, and spread on the Internet that modern civilization can't lose against viruses.

　　As a result in 2020 (Covid-19)... ahem in short he was slapped in the face, and he can only admit that he can only speak on paper.

　　"Okay, let's start the action."

　　Ryota calmed down, and his nerves tensed. Then he held the sword tightly in his hand, and fixed his sights on the forest floor.

　　In a jungle like a tropical rain forest, there are Gastrea lurking everywhere.

　　Once the news spread, being surrounded was inevitable.

　　But Ryota wasn't nervous at all, instead his heart was beating fast.

　　It was as if the body yearned for a fierce fight.

　　(My current speed is 360 kilometers per hour, whether it's for escaping or returning to help Mine and Kiritsugu, it's more convenient... No problem!)

　　Ryota half closed his eyes, releasing a very dangerous look.

　　"I'll go first, be careful."

　　After advising his two teammates. He shot towards the forest below like a sharp arrow.
