Ep. 46
「Big baby, be careful」
「Adult」「Danger」「Be careful」
[Zuzuzu (you too)]
As I said in advance, I sent them out first. Since we succeeded without difficulty in the past, we will succeed without difficulty this time as well.
'I have to do well.'
Now that they've been sent, all that's left is for me to rush in.
'Then which road should I take?'
There are a total of three routes that can be used right now. There is a path that goes down to the end of the hallway on both sides and a path that goes down the outer wall of the hallway.
'The hallways will all be under surveillance.'
The space between the stairs and the hallway is extremely limited, and my body is not as small as before, so it will become a hive as soon as I enter. Even if you have a body strengthening type, it is difficult to survive under a barrage of tungsten bullets.
'It won't be easy to climb the outer wall.'
Since this method has already been used once, there is a high possibility that they are also paying attention. If the police had injected stimulants, they would quickly recognize my attack thanks to their heightened senses.
'Or should we go through the house below like before?'
Climb down through the window and attack the enemy from the house on the second floor. This is the method used to secretly kidnap police officer number 106.
It's a good method, but the problem is that if the enemy reads my attack, the effect is halved. Since the attack route itself was more complicated than other routes, there was a high risk of being caught by androids along the way.
'I think it will be more effective if you look away.'
I guess there is no good way.
'ah.'
While thinking about a method, a good idea suddenly occurred to me.
'I forgot about it after I came here.'
I'll have to try again using the useful features I used well on the research vessel.
I walked as fast as I could and went down to the third floor.
I can feel the movement of enemies beyond the concrete floor of the hallway.
In addition to the subtle electromagnetic waves emitted by electronic devices and the unique smell of rubber and metal mixed with artificial skin, the fuselage is motionless. The smell of sweat mixed in with it, the movement of muscles swollen thicker than usual, the sound of the heart beating fast.
It was a duet created by machines and humans.
'The police used reinforcements.'
The overflowing power turns into heat and is leaking out onto the surface of the skin and clothes.
When you take a reinforcer, your physical abilities increase and your senses become sharper, like those of animals rather than humans. If I had gone down without any preparation, the police would have sensed me and attacked me right away.
'thank god.'
Even if your senses are strengthened, your thinking ability does not expand.
Enemies will think that I will come in from the end of the hallway or from the outside wall, but they will not think that I will attack from the 'ceiling'.
Looking at where the enemies were standing, the androids were in charge of the front and rear, respectively, and the five humans were standing guard in the middle, dividing the front and rear like the androids.
Standing above the heads of the police, I cut wounds all over my body with the nails of my long fighting arms. The outer skin cracked and black blood flowed from the inside.
'I need a lot of blood.'
To melt the thick floor, I repeated the process of scarring the healed area again.
When I thought the floor had melted to some extent, I made a deep wound. Blood spurted from my wound like a fountain and splattered across the hallway floor.
'it's okay.'
Within a few minutes, a large hole will open in the floor and acid blood will fall down it.
After making sure the acid blood was properly dissolving the floor, I opened the door next to me and jumped into the house.
I quickly crossed the house, opened the window, and crawled downstairs.
"this! "It's an acidic solution!"
"Everyone be careful!"
Enemies raise their voices in panic as they see acid blood pouring from above their heads.
Meanwhile, I had already entered the downstairs house. The house door leading to the hallway is firmly blocking my path.
I put all my strength into it and slammed into the door.
With a loud noise, the door burst out of the hallway, crushing the police officer in front of it. Red blood splattered between the doors and soaked the hallway.
"Huh?!"
"It's an enemy attack."
You probably never thought I could hit the ceiling and the side at the same time. The android with M01 written on its head quickly recognized me and raised a Gauss rifle.
When the gun was about to be pointed in my direction, I grabbed the head of the police officer next to me and pulled him. The android, which was programmed not to shoot its colleagues, hesitated for a moment, but immediately shot at me.
'After all, it's a robot, right?'
Even though he's using people as shields, he's only targeting me. A searing pain arose from the area where the bullet hit.
Meanwhile, other police officers also broke away from the agitation and reorganized their camps. Except for the police officer who caught me, the rest widened their distance from me.
"Ordinary bombs are ineffective. Replace them all with penetrating bullets."
I guess he was the commander, but while the other two policemen were shooting at me, the other two quickly switched their bullets. The Gauss rifle the police were carrying made a mechanical sound and was transformed to fit the penetrating bullet.
'this.'
I needed cover, so I went back into the house. Penetrating bullets poured through the wall behind me. One of them went right through my tail.
'Even walls can't block penetrating bullets.'
I had no intention of just getting hit, so I shook my bleeding tail loudly. Drops of black blood flew and covered the body of the police officer who followed him in.
"Holy shit!"
"His blood has an acidic effect!"
While the police hesitated, I climbed out the window and moved to the next door. Through the wall, I could hear the police searching the bathroom and kitchen.
'Tsk. Just looking at the penetrating bullets, the effect seems to be better than in the game.'
"Eup eup!"
As I was checking the wound on his tail, the police officer holding my hand was struggling to escape.
Due to the effect of the reinforcer, the police's power was never weak, but perhaps because his head was held, he could not use much force. I squeezed my hand to make him quiet.
"…."
The police immediately calmed down as the claw-like nails scratched the helmet and made a horrifying sound.
'I need to use this guy more.'
I activated the parasitic colony on my lower right arm. There are 5 stages. It is one level higher than a sander.
'I really couldn't do anything at level 5 in the game, but I don't know what it would be like in real life.'
A parasite resembling a black threadworm came out from a hole in the parasitic colony and attached itself to the policeman's body.
"Uh what! "Stop that!"
The policeman was scared and struggled, but his resistance was very limited as his head was being held. I picked up the parasite that was about to fall off with my finger and brought it to his face.
Just as the parasite was about to crawl into his nostrils, the wall collapsed with an explosion.
"Target discovery."
An android with M02 engraved on its head broke through the wall and appeared. Perhaps it was an android specialized in close combat, but it was wearing gauntlets with file bunkers on both arms except the third.
As soon as M02 spotted me, he punched me in the head. I quickly grabbed the guy's wrist with my fighting arms, but at the same time, a metal stake was ejected into my head.
There was a sound of scraping metal, and sparks flew from the head's shell. I pulled out the saw blade tentacles to stop him from impaling me with the stake.
A long tentacle whip swept over M02's face. The artificial skin covering the face was completely peeled off by the dense saw blades, and the metal skeleton inside was also greatly damaged.
"An error occurred. "I would like to apply."
"I will support you."
M01 appeared from behind and pointed a Gauss rifle at me. Tentacles that had not yet been recovered were mercilessly torn apart by penetrating bullets.
Only the tentacles are damaged, but pain is felt throughout the arm. I hid behind M02 while retrieving the half remaining tentacle.
"Inactive. "Attack please."
"M02. "It's been a hard time."
M01 paid no heed to my actions and shot with the intention of killing M02 and me. M02, which had weaker defense than me, quickly became a rag.
'This is why I don't like androids.'
Because I am not mentally shaken, the deception tactics and surprise attacks I usually use are ineffective. I used the disabled M02 as a shield and aimed the spine launcher at M01's third arm.
"You monster!"
Just as he was about to fire, the police came to support M01. A rain of penetrating bullets rained down on me from beyond the ruins of the broken wall.
'You just have to shoot this and get out.'
The hardest parts, the head and chest, were safe, but other places were not. Because there is a limit to what I can endure with my outer shell. While my limbs were being pierced by bullets, I barely managed to fire the spine.
The spine fired from the end of the lower left arm flew at high speed and destroyed the Gauss rifle held in the android's third arm.
"The weapon is damaged."
While the android was hesitating, I threw the police officer lying on the floor at them. Since it is infected with parasites, it will be able to sufficiently fulfill its role of holding back the other side.
"!"
"Everyone stop shooting!"
As expected, the police immediately stopped shooting when their colleague flew in. I left the house after sending a message to the parasite to run wild.
"Hey are you okay?!"
"Number 103! Wake!"
"Ugh…"
I came out into the hallway and ran to where they were.
By now, everything will be done and waiting for me.
–
"Ughhhhhhh!"
"Number 103!"
"My head!"
Number 103, rolling on the floor holding his head. The police quickly caught him. It was not easy to calm him down as he had a strong, strong adult male body and was in a reinforced state.
"Please calm down!"
"Jebaaaagh! Someone please! "Take this out!"
While the other policemen were holding him down, William quickly operated the terminal attached to number 103's wrist. The treatment built into the reinforced suit was injected into Number 103's body, but his condition did not improve at all.
"What is this…."
"I suspect that it is not a poison, but a virus or some very small creature that has infiltrated the brain."
It was M01 that answered William's question. With his third arm destroyed, he collected and wore the Power Bunker Gauntlet used by M02.
"…How to deal with it?"
"I am not a medical android, so I cannot kill you. "We need to take him to the hospital right away."
"shit!"
William let out a harsh curse.
I don't know who Sander was dealing with, but that guy is far superior to the Hulk Mutant.
The attack methods were so diverse that it was difficult to know what genes were inserted. What's even scarier is that he is making very good use of his means of attack.
"Aaaahhh!"
"Damn it!"
"M01! "Do something!"
"We have to track our goals. The target turned out to be an extremely dangerous fighting creature. "If the target hides in another apartment, the casualties are expected to be extreme."
"Fuck! "I can't leave it like this!"
While the police and the androids argued over what to do with Number 103, Number 103's condition rapidly worsened.
"Ahh! Ah ah…mi mi sorry…."
"Number 103?"
Suddenly, number 103's expression changed and he jumped up from his seat. He then shot the police officer who was holding him down with the Gauss rifle he was holding.
"Wow!"
"Number 105!"
Number 105, who had a hole in his abdomen, collapsed and vomited blood.
Number 103, who shot his colleague, had tears flowing from his eyes, but the corners of his mouth were strangely raised.
"Hehehe! I should have done this a long time ago! Hee hee hee!"
"Come to your senses number 103!"
"No. 103 is in bad condition. "I will determine that he is being controlled by a parasite and subdue him."
M01 approached number 103. The frantic police officer turned his gun to shoot M01 with a Gauss rifle, but was one step too late. M01 struck 103 on the back of the neck, knocking him out.
"Suppression complete."
"Number 105! "Don't lose your mind!"
"Ugh…"
"Insert treatment!"
"please!"
William hurriedly administered the cure to number 105, but honestly, it looked like there was no hope for him.
Since the cure is not universal, if you do not take the patient to the hospital right away, number 105 will not be able to survive.
William stood up, leaving number 105 unconscious.
Except for number 103, who fainted and number 105, who had a hole in his stomach, the only people left here were number 102 and William M01.
"…M01. The situation is not good. "Call the androids on the first floor and the police immediately."
"All right."
It was clear that if the three of them attacked the guy like this, they would have to attack him well. If the guy came up with some new means of attack, they would all be annihilated. M01 also agreed with William this time and connected the communicator.
"This is M01. Those on the first floor, please come upstairs."
「Chichijijijijik」
"This is M01. I repeat. Those on the first floor, please come upstairs."
「Chijijijik」
"…."
M01 repeated the same words, but the only sound coming back through the communicator was static.
It was clear what the sound meant.
'It wasn't one!'
Only then did William realize.
While he was wasting time, his colleagues targeted the androids and police who were waiting on the first floor.
"It looks like he launched a diversionary operation."
The android's words drove a wedge into his thoughts. Just as the machine said, they had fallen into a trap.
It was a trap prepared by unidentified beings.
