This World Is Seriously Ill

Kevin raised his wrist-mounted locator, and with a roar of grief and indignation, pulled a parachute from under his seat and hastily strapped it on.

"Isn't the international airport in Toko City still under control? Why not set it as the landing point?"

Although Alice was a bit confused, her hands didn't hesitate as she pulled out the parachute.

The Commander looked around at the blank, clueless faces and almost teared up.

"With you guys here, this thing definitely won't make it to Toko City International Airport."

Just as everyone was puzzled by Kevin's meaning and momentarily stunned, dozens of Amethyst Thorns shot up from the ground.

Barry, despite his excellent flying skills from his time in the US Air Force, was no match for the missile-speed Amethyst Thorns. Within just five minutes, the helicopter's rotors and tail fin were successively severed.

With pale faces, everyone immediately followed the Commander and jumped out of the cabin.

White parachute blossoms bloomed in the air, drifting with the wind to unknown destinations.

Section 70 Chapter 67 Teammate Sacrifice, Infinite Magic Power! (Second Update)

In Toko City, the Black Hawk helicopter, still spewing black smoke, was reduced to parts by flying purplish-red crystal thorns even before it hit the ground.

Unexpectedly, the parachutes seemed to be spared from further attacks by these thorns, so their descent was relatively smooth.

However, the Toko City residents "welcoming" the guests below seemed a bit too enthusiastic.

Kevin looked at the zombies drawn by the commotion below, densely gathered near his landing point. He immediately cut the parachute rope with his dagger and jumped towards a relatively open rooftop.

After a tactical roll to dissipate most of the impact, Kevin knelt on one knee, took off the lightweight MP5 from his chest, and headshot seven or eight approaching zombies with aimed bursts.

Damn it! Some electromagnetic interference is still active! I can't complete the positioning yet!

Standing on the balcony, Kevin looked at the devastated city and could only pray in his heart for his scattered teammates.

However, it seemed like these troublemakers had lives as tough as cockroaches, so he should worry about himself first.

The Commander opened the pre-saved electronic map, roughly confirmed his location based on the surrounding scenery, and then began to clear his thoughts.

Toko City is adjacent to Tokyo, with a dense population of about 500,000, nearly five times that of Raccoon City.

After the crisis broke out, only about 100,000 people managed to escape.

Even if the infection speed was limited in the early stages of the virus outbreak, this cursed place still has at least 100,000 zombies!

Therefore, it is completely unrealistic to resolve the crisis in the entire city.

The most reasonable approach now is to find the truth behind the outbreak and eliminate the source of infection!

Thus, Kevin devised a corresponding solo combat plan, taking into account Leon's passive "vehicle nemesis" attribute.

That is, the team would split up, each collecting intelligence from marked key areas, and then converge towards the Toko City airport, after which they would proceed slowly.

If possible, everyone should try to blend in with survivor groups or form survival factions, select reliable personnel, and gather at the destination together.

"Teammate Killer" is not omnipotent; it seems they can only guarantee their own safety to the maximum extent when there are teammates to betray.

As the saying goes, sacrifice teammates for boundless power!

Everyone, go develop your subordinates. With cannon fodder, your survival rate will greatly increase.

The sinister intentions of a certain person would naturally not be revealed to these companions, who were somewhat on the side of good. He didn't want his subordinates to bear unnecessary psychological burdens.

The world has never been fair, and life is not always equal.

Next, it's time to run!

The zombie horde, drawn by the noise in the stairwell, broke through the door leading to the rooftop and swarmed up like sharks smelling blood.

These zombies in Toko City seem a bit different...

Their joints are flexible, their bodies are relatively intact, and purplish-red patterns resembling blood vessels are densely distributed under their grayish-white skin.

With every movement of the zombies, these purplish-red patterns on their skin would flicker, as if serving as a heart or nerves.

After a few shots, the muffled gunshots caused the Commander's expression to change slightly. Their muscle and bone density seemed to be increasing, and some parts were even impenetrable by MP5 bullets.

Seeing that he couldn't control the situation, Kevin decisively chose to retreat. With a series of agile parkour moves, the Commander leaped over two rooftops consecutively.

But the number of zombies was too large, and there were no suitable places to land on the rooftops they passed.

Helpless, Kevin had to escape the "enthusiastic hospitality" of the Toko City residents again, and casually headshot a few zombies that pounced on him.

"Hoo!" With rough breaths, the Commander retreated while firing, fine sweat beading on his forehead.

As expected, a normal person's physique at 12 o'clock can't withstand such high-intensity exercise...

When I get out of here safely, I'm definitely going to go crazy with points in "Stamina"! At worst, I'll have ten rounds in one night!

Kevin inwardly complained about his poor physical condition while observing his surroundings, looking for a way to escape.

As his footsteps gradually retreated to the edge of the rooftop under the zombie encirclement, the sound of car engines suddenly roared from not far away on the otherwise dead street.

A minivan was plowing through the road, crushing the zombies that rushed out from the surrounding buildings.

A good opportunity! Kevin estimated the timing, then drew his grappling hook, fixed the cable, and leaped.

However, as the Commander landed in mid-air, the glass on a building behind him shattered with a loud crash.

Thick vines covered in green thorns swept and stabbed forward, while flower buds squeezed out from the floors bloomed, revealing layers of serrated teeth that snapped and bit.

You've got to be kidding me! Kevin immediately pulled out a Soul Steel dust grenade and tossed it directly into the mouth of the giant red carnivorous plant.

As the grenade exploded with a boom, a golden-blue dust spread, and the plant's internal juices splattered, corroding the surrounding walls into pitted holes everywhere.

Thank goodness the distance was still considerable! The shaken Commander couldn't help but pat his chest and continued his descent towards the top of the bus.

But then, the half-blown flower bud that had been blown off from the floor actually fell towards Kevin's head.

Even with the corrosion formed by Soul Steel and metallic powder, this thing was still stubbornly alive, its mouth full of serrated teeth snapping ferociously towards the Commander's position.

What the hell! Kevin's inner thoughts were just to curse out someone's immediate female relatives. Was he really that unlucky?

"Boom!" Just as the Commander was about to risk breaking his leg to cut the ropes and escape, a streak of crimson light, the result of intense air friction, suddenly streaked across the sky.

The half-blown flower bud falling towards Kevin's head, along with the half-floor behind it, was instantly annihilated by a bullet, leaving only a one-meter-diameter hole.

"Bang!" The Commander didn't have time to investigate the reason for his rescue. Using the moment the grappling hook retracted, he narrowly jumped onto the roof of the mini-bus.

"Screech!" To prevent sliding, Kevin even inserted his Soul Steel dagger into the car roof to stabilize himself.

Faintly, from the corner of his eye, he seemed to notice a flash of beautiful red on the opposite floor.

Could it be...? Kevin's eyes narrowed, his expression becoming complex and strange.

In a reinforced steel floor somewhere.

An elegant woman in a red jumpsuit, swirling a glass of red wine, stood in the shadow by the floor-to-ceiling window, raising her glass in a toast to the figure disappearing on the mini-bus.

We meet again, kiddo...

I'm really looking forward to this reunion...

Under the brilliant sunlight refracted by the purplish-red crystals, the smile on the female agent Ada's lips was illuminated.

ps: Should I continue to increase Auntie's favorability this time?

Chapter 71 Chapter 68 Gungnir (Third update, seeking recommendations and support)

"You've already taken your position, Miss Ada?"

"Is the little gift I sent you useful?"

From the female agent's earpiece came the calm greeting of a certain young man.

This special communication device, capable of resisting interference, indeed avoided a lot of trouble.

"Of course, I'm very satisfied. You're very thoughtful."

"However, such a cute 'toy' should have a name that matches it, right?"

Ada finished her wine and casually began disassembling the beautifully crafted silver-white firearm on the windowsill.

"[Gungnir], single serial, latest model..."

"Made entirely of integrated Soul Steel, it has 2.5 times the range of the most advanced sniper rifle, strong penetration, great power, light weight, and special bullets with a purification effect, making it a nemesis for virus-type life forms..."

"If you like it, you can also call it [Odin's Eternal Spear]..."

The young man spoke with ease and elegance. Although he emphasized the weapon's performance out of pride as its designer, he didn't seem to place much importance on its value.

"Is this the prepayment?"

Ada smiled as she placed the firearm's components into a briefcase and took some necessary supporting weapons from a pop-out weapon rack on the wall.

Gungnir? The weapon of the Sovereign Odin in Norse mythology, also known as the "Declaration of the Great God."

Raiden Ryoma... are you seeing yourself as a god who issues commands?

"I believe a gift I sincerely sent shouldn't be directly refused, right?"

The person at the helm of ME Company on the other end of the earpiece smiled faintly, appearing extremely generous and gentle.

Ada did not answer his smile and then, skipping the small talk, the female agent's lips curved slightly upward.

"Mr. Ryoma, can you satisfy a woman's curiosity?"

"Why didn't you, the leader of [Anti-Entropy], mobilize your own people? Instead, you placed this heavy responsibility on me, a delicate woman?"

Raiden Ryoma had no reservations about this and revealed the reason to the "temporary worker" Ada.

"The relationship between [Anti-Entropy] and [Schicksal] is currently in a honeymoon period. This little matter at hand should not become a fuse for conflict."

"Our enemy has always been one – the Honkai Calamity..."

"And our common goal is also the same – to protect civilization..."

"Therefore, to avoid unnecessary internal strife, multiple factions have secretly signed an agreement."

"Render unto God the things that are God's, and unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's."

"Before the real crisis arrives, no organization can easily interfere in national affairs or prematurely disrupt the existing social order."

Ada mused, letting out a charming nasal sound.

"So, you chose me as the spokesperson for this operation."

"So, who will be the representative from Schicksal?"

Raiden Ryoma didn't give a definite answer, his tone lacking much inflection.

"You'll have to observe that for yourself, Ms. Ada..."

"Also, don't forget the details of this mission..."

As an agent who loved her profession, Ada showed a hint of competence when discussing the mission.

"The primary objective is to go to Oshima and retrieve the Origin Stone, Void Genome, and END RAVE synchro-mecha experimental data..."

"Secondly, thoroughly investigate the cause of the virus outbreak in Toko City, and bring back Dr. Eve and Ouma Kuro's family if possible..."

"If there's anything else you need added, remember to charge extra..."

"You're a good partner, so I can give you a discount, 20% off the market price..."

Raiden Ryoma shook his head, clearly appreciating Ada's business-like attitude.

"I hope to invite you for dinner on the top floor of the ME Company building in seven days."

The female agent slowly opened the door, responding perfunctorily.

"If time and conditions permit, I'd be happy to accept your invitation..."

"Well then, next I need to go and recover your losses as a client. Please pray for me."

As the communication ended, Ada took a private elevator straight to the underground garage, placed her equipment on a black motorcycle, then donned her helmet and slowly opened the gate.

Meanwhile, to the west of Toko City.
