Girls und War

"The bullet that eliminates cause and effect, pitch☆black☆dream☆illusion—turn!—on! If you don't want to lose your life in vain, it's not too late to escape now." She raised her hand and touched the loose hair on her forehead.

Natsuki didn't move.

"Really? Even facing your own demise, you still maintained the courage to face me. You are a human being worthy of admiration, and I'm beginning to like you." She raised her head in Natsuki's direction and said with great aloofness, "But unfortunately, your figure will soon disappear in the long river of history. This makes me feel sad, a human being I have never met before."

As she spoke, she half-knelt on the ground and aimed the sniper rifle in Xia Shu's direction.

"Time flies by, and this rare time of fun is almost over. What a happy memory, human! Perhaps someday in the future, I'll remember that I once encountered a tiny, courageous ant. But unfortunately, I will never show mercy—what a pity!"

As she said this, she closed her eyes as if she couldn't bear it, and pulled the trigger of the gun very steadily towards Xia Shu.

Then he made his final declaration.

“Adieu, bébé.”

A gunshot echoed along the riverbank.

Xia Shu didn't even frown.

Ruscoe, who was hiding behind the bunker, shuddered and asked Xia Shu, "Did anyone shoot? Aren't you hiding?"

"No." Xia Shu didn't put down the telescope. He looked at the girl who pulled the trigger and made a strange pose and said, "Maybe she's shooting intimidation. You can't hit me at this distance."

Rush nodded, but Natsuki quickly looked puzzled and said, "But..."

She didn't say the rest of the words.

In Lilith's imagination, what came out of the gun was not a bullet.

Instead, it was some kind of huge pillar of light surrounded by a dark dragon, rushing forward with an unmatched, world-destroying and terrifying momentum.

She even provided voiceover for Guangbo.

"Boom boom boom boom boom boom - Buwangangangangangangangangang - buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz - whoosh - whoosh"

Lilith, half-holding the sniper rifle and striking a handsome pose, slowly opened her eyes and muttered, "Killed another...boring thing..."

But she immediately widened her eyes, revealing an expression of disbelief, and said, "No...that's not right! How is this possible! You actually survived my world-destroying attack? Who the hell are you?!"

She pointed a finger at Xia Shu.

Natsuki tilted his head.

"Hmph... hmph... hmph... You're indeed the human I favor. You're becoming more and more interesting." She withdrew her hand, spread her fingers in front of her, and said with a pleasant smile, "Is this why you dare to face me, human?"

Although Natsuki didn't react at all, Lilith still put on an elegant vampire pose and said with a smile, "I'll spare your life this time. I'll take it away next time we meet. I hope you can bring me more surprises."

Then he swung his cloak, turned his back to Xia Shu, and left the ruined building with an indescribable elegance.

Only Xia Shu was left with a confused look on his face.

397. This is a psychological question, there is no answer

Xia Shu didn't understand who the girl was, where she came from, or what she was doing.

All I know is that she did a lot of meaningless actions.

Very ambiguous.

Xia Shu put away the telescope, looked at the sky, and felt that it was about time, so he turned to Juncus and said, "Okay, let's go back."

As Rush gathered his equipment, he asked, "Have you finished looking? Any findings?"

Xia Shu thought for a moment and replied, "I saw someone interesting."

"What interesting person?"

"It's hard to explain." She frowned and smiled strangely.

Rush also laughed, but did not ask any further questions.

That's just how she is. She won't dwell on things she doesn't understand. This is the philosophy of life she learned in this infinitely dark world.

Then the two picked up their equipment and followed the dry gravel mountain road back to the front-line camp of the Red Dragon Squadron.

Compared with the high mountain front, the camp layout this time has a higher sense of technology and a stronger sense of frontline combat.

The watchtowers erected in the camp emitted several searchlights as bright as the sun, shining into the distance.

A simple electric fence surrounded the camp, with only two entrances at the front and back for entry.

An air defense radar, coupled with an anti-missile defense vehicle, can completely protect the camp and ensure that not even a fly will appear within five kilometers.

Another infrared radar can expose any living creature within three kilometers.

The entire camp is characterized by one word: safe and reliable.

The Air Force even thoughtfully prepared an armed helicopter team for them here, with a helicopter ready to be dispatched at any time to provide them with strong air support.

This place is unlike the high mountain regions—no cities, no power plants, no high-tech equipment. It's rustic and poor, and even a meal is a must.

Big oil fields have money.

It was not a difficult task for the logistics team to pull a few cables from the occupied area a few kilometers away.

Even if we modify the power towers of local power stations and build a front-line endurance zone, the cost will not be much higher than that of a tank.

The value of a frontline soldier is far greater than these dead things. As long as it can appropriately increase their survival rate and combat effectiveness, the logistics department of the large oil field will not be reluctant to spend this small amount of money.

No matter what, Liangyue is much better than the Guguji Trench in Gaoshan.

Ever since they experienced the frontal combat of the big oil field, they have never stopped making sarcastic remarks about Cuckoo Chicken.

At the same time, as a cover, Phoenix Squadron also set up its own camp not far from their camp.

The two camps complement each other and radiate the entire plain where they are located.

And with them as the base, Huaqu can quickly deploy armored forces to the control area of ​​hundreds of kilometers.

Several such base points form the flower district defense line of the entire Two Rivers region.

Advance to attack, retreat to defend.

Such a line of defense can be said to be unbreakable and impregnable.

As long as nothing goes wrong for them, all they have to do is find the "rats" hiding near the river bank as soon as possible.

——If you can find it.

However, the conditions at the iron zone base across the river are not so favorable.

A city that was bombed into pieces naturally had no useful facilities such as power plants or ports left.

In the buffer zone between the two rivers, supplies can only be transported using a temporary floating bridge.

If the Hua District is determined to attack the two rivers, all we need to do is blow up the floating bridge on the river, and the Tie District will be stunned in an instant.

At that time, they could only quickly abandon the defense of the buffer zone, retreat to the west of the river bank, and defend the river.

Even the garrison in the buffer zone had no choice but to abandon most of their equipment and return upstream.

The defense of the buffer zone is difficult to do - this is an accurate judgment that anyone with a little strategic common sense can make. Unless it is necessary, they do not want to put the base in the middle of the two rivers.

The Iron District has not yet withdrawn its troops. This is a strategic judgment made entirely out of confidence that the Flower District is unlikely to attack the Two Rivers.

But as the situation becomes increasingly tense, this confidence is gradually eroding.

In addition, the news of the rotation of the front-line troops and the regular troops in the Hua District deepened their doubts.

Now the situation is very interesting.

Originally, on the same front, the defenders on both sides believed that the other side could not attack, and this was indeed the case.

But for some reason, the possibility of war between the two sides is increasing, and is even gradually approaching the point where fighting is necessary.

So will they fight?

This is worth pondering.

Let’s not discuss for now whether the Iron District and the Flower District will fight.

Lilith was already humming a little tune and walking briskly as she returned to the temporary camp from outside.

After seeing the Iron Zone's top-ranked ace sniper return to the camp, the lieutenant in charge of her daily life quickly came to greet her.

Sensing Lilith's high spirits, she cautiously asked, "Captain, are you in a good mood?"

Upon hearing this, Lilith quickly frowned and said in a slightly serious tone, "It's best not to ask. This is for your own good."

After spending the past few days together, the lieutenant had probably figured out Lilith's ways. He immediately revealed a secretive expression and said, "I understand. No questions."

Lilith immediately nodded in satisfaction.

Then he walked into the dilapidated small house.

She had a strong premonition that she would run into that human again soon.

This kind of intuition from vampires has never failed.

So this is bound to happen.

There will be no surprises.

The lieutenant did not follow Lilith into the house because this was the time when this "adult" liked to be "alone" the most. She would be angry if anyone entered.

The lieutenant shrugged his shoulders, looked at the darkening sky, and left the door.

Next is the time for the shift change, and the sentries along the coast need to be further strengthened in their vigilance.

Although the flower area is unlikely to attack during this period.

But, who knows?

From a God's perspective, we naturally know the current situation of the Flower District and the Iron District.

All signs indicate that the secret team on the river bank has nothing to do with either of the two war zones.

There is no need to guess their purpose. It is definitely to provoke a fight between the two sides and then fish in troubled waters.

So whose side are they from?

When looking at a problem, you must look beyond the surface to see the essence.

If the Flower District and the Iron District fight, whichever side benefits the most will be the most likely to cause trouble.

So who benefits more?

Eagle Zone? Or Sea Zone?

It seems hard to say.

If the Eagle District wants to cause trouble, it will definitely start by provoking friction between the Flower District and the Sea District.

The same is true for the opposite sea area.

If the Flower District and the Iron District fight, will there really be any benefit for them?

Oh, I swear, this is weird in every way.

Seriously! This is fucking weird!

398. Just because of the name

The standoff between the Iron District and the Flower District gradually intensified. They seemed unrelated at first, but under the intoxicating atmosphere of the nightclub's music and alcohol, their passions were gradually ignited by hormones, and their bodies unconsciously leaned against each other, like a pair of real men and women.

The troublemaker who wants to start a big war among them has not shown up yet.

Just like the final boss in a detective novel hidden in the fog, he will never appear until the time is right.

So let’s take a look at who the final boss of this detective novel is.

First of all, the most likely one is the Haiying Empire, which is always a troublemaker.

It's not impossible.

Tiequ is now their teammate on the united front, and the two are in a relationship of shared success and shared failure.

But it is hard to say whether the Iron Zone has any sincerity in this line of defense.

If they were determined to sell the sea area, or if the flower area planned to bypass the iron area's frontal defense and attack the sea area's rear, the sea area would be the one that suffered, and the iron area would not suffer a single cent of loss.
