Doomsday Bandits and Tramps

==========================

"He's very good, and he specially delivered my wife's things back yesterday."

Conroy took out a metal watch from his pocket and handed it to Diana.

Diana rubbed her scratched watch, a trace of imperceptible emotion flashed in her eyes, but it was still keenly captured by Conroy.

"Ma'am, do you miss him too?"

Diana was expressionless, and put the watch into her pocket: "Don't put gold on his face, that little bastard must have cursed me to death behind his back."

Conroy bowed his head and remained silent, unable to hold himself back from complaining.

"The success of defending the [-]-day line this time is due to both of you."

Diana got up and turned her back to the two of them: "This time, you have paid off your merits, and next time, you will come to see me."

"Yes, ma'am."

Diana walked to the floor-to-ceiling windows and looked at the uninhabited land outside the city: "Have you collected all the military badges of the fallen soldiers?"

"The garrison posts are all ready, and they have been sent to the other shore hall. It will take some time for the rest of the defense lines."

"Notify the cleaning team to pay attention to safety, and the temple tower will not allow unnecessary sacrifices."

"Yes, ma'am."

Conroy said, "Ma'am, I have something to report to you."

"Say."

"This offensive and defensive battle is different from the previous ones. Not only has the scale and reinforcement speed of the Alien Beast Swarm increased, but there has also been a cross-regional Alien Beast invasion. The frontline soldiers have no experience in fighting the Death Worm, so they are eaten by it. A lot of losses."

"Dr. Franz."

Dr. Franz immediately came down from the second floor. Although his attitude was somewhat impatient, he still respectfully said, "Madam, please speak."

"In the records of the temple tower, has there been any cross-regional invasion by alien beasts?"

"No, this is the first time."

Dr. Franz manipulated the robotic arm to call out the holographic screen, the light in the laboratory decreased, and a large three-dimensional image appeared in the center of the four people: "Judging from the frequency of activities of the alien beasts in the past few months, the alien beasts have formed a large-scale gathering. The trend, both in quantity and variety, is increasing, and it's heading straight for the city of Tinis."

Conroy was puzzled: "Go straight to Tinis City? Could it be that there is something in the city that attracts strange beasts?"

"Tinis City's defense facilities are sound. I organized personnel to conduct a survey in the early stage, and found no damage or loopholes. If there is anything that attracts strange beasts, it may be the fortress city itself."

Dr. Franz called up the anatomical diagrams of various alien beasts, and analyzed: "Conventional predators lock their prey through traditional perception methods such as vision, hearing, and touch. Alien beasts have evolved another perception on this basis. Organs, they can perceive the sound waves and electromagnetic waves emitted by the air, and regard specific frequency bands as attack targets, and the protective shield of Tinis City can disrupt the frequencies of these two bands, preventing Tinis City from being sensed by alien beasts."

"However, this is only limited to situations where no one is out of town."

Conroy added: "Caravans have to go back and forth between the various fortresses, and the army has to go out of the city to inspect regularly. The possibility of human activities attracting alien beasts cannot be ruled out."

"Yes, and since the start of the immigration plan, Tinis City will release the protective cover every year when Avalon sends transport boats, which undoubtedly increases the risk of Tinis City being discovered."

Diana pondered for a moment and asked, "Is this your conclusion?"

"No, this is just my guess," Dr. Franz said. "The immigration program is about the continuation of humanity and cannot be terminated."

Conroy asked: "Doctor, according to your inference, how long is it until the next alien beast attack?"

"About [-] days," said Dr. Franz, "if there is no reason to attract the alien beasts, the alien beasts will continue to attack the city of Tinis, and the scale will become larger each time until the city of Tinis is captured."

"Crafted..."

Everyone looked at the city under their feet, and what appeared in front of them were other human cities that had long been abandoned.

Dilapidated, desolate, and vigorous buildings are gradually withering in the wind and sun, and human beings will lose another shelter.

Never let this happen!

"There are still [-] days until the official immigration work. At this time, the strange behavior of the strange beast must not be ignored!"

Diana said: "From now on, the temple tower will comprehensively strengthen the repair and inspection of the defense line. Conroy, Barlow, you go to find out the origin of the death worm. The doctor continues to analyze the trajectory and laws of the strange beasts, and to other The fortress city issued an alarm, we must ensure the safety of Tinis City."

"Yes! May the city of Tinis last forever!"

"Ah..."

Seth sneezed and sniffed while sitting on the back of the motorcycle.

"I said, can you drive slowly, my hair is messed up!"

Xiu completely ignored Saite, pushed the accelerator to the limit, and drove all the way back to the dark alley at lightning speed.

Before the car came to a complete stop, Xiu slammed on the brakes and turned around, trying to throw Seth off. The latter was already prepared, and stuck to Xiu's body like a dog's skin plaster.

"Get off!"

"Hiss, is this your attitude towards the wounded?"

injured?

When did this happen?

Xiu subconsciously thought this way, but Seth's mean face appeared in his mind, and he was sure that he was lying again, so he cut off and scolded: "Stop farting with me, get out!"

"Really, I'm really hurt."

Seth suddenly clutched his heart in pain, and fell on Xiu: "My heart hurts so much, it hurts so much that I can't breathe."

Cultivated to the point of trembling, he returned an elbow, which was blocked by someone.

Xiu asked with a dark face: "Aren't you heartbroken, it's okay?"

"Just kidding, don't be so rigid."

Xiu's face turned darker, and Bette's painted face still darkened: "Do you think this is funny?"

Seth pursed his lips and muttered softly, "You guys don't have any sense of humor."

"what?"

"It's nothing," Seth said with a chuckle, cleared his throat, "seriously, I was really hurt just now, and I just tried not to say anything."

Xiu glanced at Seth suspiciously, his expression was serious, his face...was too dark to see clearly.

He thought about it, hesitated again and again, took a deep breath, and forced himself to calm down: "Where does it hurt?"

Seth covered his mouth with his hands, and whispered to Xiu's ear: "When I was running away just now, the car jumped too hard and was crushed..."

"Hold!"

Xiu looked back and was stabbed, Seth leaned back, the icy blade brushed past his hair, and immediately slashed his head again, Seth jumped out of the car to dodge, still grabbing Xiu's shoulder, and dragging him off together car.

Xiu gripped the skates tightly and pointed at the tip of Seth's nose: "Is there a truth out of your fucking mouth?"

Seth raised his hands, with a playful smile, without any sign of resistance: "I'm telling the truth."

"fart!"

Xiu was furious: "It's not a bandit! You're a supernatural person, and you're from the military!"

"I......"

"Don't tell me no," Xiu pointed to the dagger at Seth's waist. "The pattern on your dagger is clearly the emblem of the temple tower, which is the same as that of other soldiers. Robbing the bandits, and cooperating with you, you have been pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger in front of me!"

"I really didn't lie to you," Seth smiled a little aggrievedly, and stretched out his hand to pull his waistband, "If you don't believe me, see for yourself."

"Get off! Stay away from me, you pervert!"

"I'm not a pervert," Seth sighed. "Besides, you never asked me if I was a supernatural being. Strictly speaking, I didn't lie to you either."

"Hehe, do you find this kind of verbal trick interesting?"

"Okay, okay, I'm wrong about this, no, no, it's my fault, I lied to you, I'm wrong, I apologize to you."

Seth kept smiling, coaxing Xiu nicely, but Xiu always felt that the rascal was still teasing him.

"Baby, let's put away the knife. Let's sit down and have a good chat. If you want to know, I will tell you everything."

"Get out, I'm not interested in you."

Xiu put away his skates and was about to leave with his motorcycle. Seth held down the faucet first to block the way.

"Angry?"

Gritting his teeth, Xiu said word by word, "Get out! Get out!"

"Don't, don't, don't be angry," Seth pestered Xiu with a faceless face, "I was wrong, I really knew I was wrong, I promise, I promise I won't lie to you again, okay?"

"I don't care about you, get out of the way quickly, don't think I dare not press over you."

"Dare, of course you dare," Seth said, "In this way, if you want to leave, I won't stop you, but you can't go on the road empty-handed, you see, you don't have anything in your car, and you won't be in the village or in the store when you drive out. , what if you are hungry after drinking?"

Xiu suspected that he had turned over Seth, but facing his funny face, he hated him and had nothing to do with him, as if his fist had hit the cotton.

The scoundrel chased him away but couldn't drive him away, and he still stuck to him when he walked by himself, following him like a fly and buzzing around him non-stop.

"Whether I live or die has nothing to do with you."

"Look, look, he's still talking angry."

Different from Xiu, Seth is very patient and keeps persuading: "From the day before yesterday to now, we have known each other for two days, what have you eaten in the past two days? Yes, I know you are not hungry now, but after a while After a while, you will lose your anger and get hungry, where will you go to find food? You should know best what it feels like to be hungry, right?"

It's all about anger, but Seth was right.

Xiu is now empty-handed, with nothing to worry about, and he doesn't know how far he can ride a stolen motorcycle.

Also, he doesn't know where to go...

"Covinion is a human fortress located on the west coast across the continent, a city at the end of the commercial road"

It may be possible to position it as the target of the next stop, but it is not wise to go on the road rashly if you cross the continent and you must be well prepared.

Seeing that Xiu was silent, Seth knew that he was beginning to waver, and he was secretly delighted, took advantage of the victory to pursue, and continued to use a three-inch tongue to say: "Well, you come down first, I will treat you to a meal, and then sleep well, waiting for you Get up early tomorrow morning, I promise you to go on the road with a load of supplies, how about it?"

"No need," Xiu glared at him, then reached out to grab his pocket, "give me the gold bars, and I'll buy them myself."

Seth avoided it lightly: "Hey, why are you always thinking about gold bars?"

Xiu was instantly furious: "That's my thing!"

"Think about it carefully, these gold bars are actually useless," Seth pretended to be stupid, and even coaxed and said, "For example, can you eat gold bars when you are hungry? No. The car is out of fuel, so you can put gold bars in the fuel." Is it in the box? It can’t be. So, there is no real material for gold bars..."

Seth was talking nonsense, and Xiu didn't bother to talk to him, so he grabbed it directly.

Just when the two were entangled, Prin ran out of the abandoned subway entrance with injuries all over his body.
