I was expelled from school at the beginning, but luckily I am the king of endurance.

The Story of Abydos: Chapter 2: The 88mm cannon knocked Serika to her knees. It must be...

Abydos is a free place. There are not so many rules in a school with only five students, so it is not surprising that students here behave in any way.

But when a girl in a hospital gown, carrying a submachine gun and obviously not a local rushes into the activity room and says to you, "Are you in trouble? Let me help you!" or something like that, this kind of development can still make your brain freeze for a while.

Anyway, the four people in the activity room, including the teacher, didn't react to what was happening for a while, until Ya waved his hand in front of everyone, and the teacher came to his senses.

"Xiaoya?! Didn't I tell you to have a good rest?"

Faced with the teacher's question, Ya did not answer. She walked into the activity room by herself, leaned forward slightly with her hands on the square table in the middle, and the submachine gun slung by the girl collided with the edge of the table, making a "thump thump" sound.

"My name is Suzuki Mei. Perhaps you already know my name. Since you've helped me, I naturally want to repay you." After a moment's hesitation, Mei gave a brief self-introduction. Returning a favor is her usual style. "Now, please tell me the details."

The girl's appearance did ease the atmosphere. Her serious look coupled with the hospital gown she was wearing made even Ayane, who had been sobbing, almost burst out laughing.

Finally, after repeatedly confirming that Mei was indeed fine, Ayane, who was closest in height to Mei at the scene, took out her spare school uniform for the girl to change into. As for the camouflage uniform that Mei had worn before, Baizi on the side said that the clothes were in tatters and had been disposed of.

This little episode did not last long. The important thing right now was to find the missing person. The teacher who was in charge of stabilizing the situation immediately got into the state. He skillfully assigned tasks to each member, just like the last time he directed students to beat up the bad girls on the street.

Mei, who was assigned by the teacher to search for clues on the street, asked the people in Abydos for the appearance characteristics of Serika. She ran on the street in the slightly loose Abydos school uniform. Now she has sufficient ammunition supply, so she is not afraid even if the Caesar robot comes to chase her again.

The only sad thing was that the girl's cell phone was destroyed in the explosion in the desert military camp. Now she has not received any information from the outside world for a long time, and she doesn't know anything about the major events that have happened during this period.

The streets of Abydos look very old. The ground is cracked everywhere due to lack of maintenance, and there are bullet holes on the walls left by gang fights. The reason why it is not full of garbage is that the citizens will clean up the streets spontaneously from time to time.

It was beyond Ya's expectation that the school, which was once ranked in the top three, had fallen into such a state. However, the citizens here were very supportive of Abydos. The girl even saw an owl postman secretly donating money to Abydos not long ago.

"Excuse me, have you ever seen a girl with black hair and cat ears? She was wearing the same clothes as me and was about this tall... Oh no, sorry to bother you, thank you."

After asking local residents for the eleventh time without success, Ya turned into a narrow auxiliary road. The girl, who had wanted to pass by here in a hurry, found an unusual crater on the ground.

"What is this?" Ya half-knelt on the ground and examined the traces of the explosion at the scene. She had not received any professional artillery combat training, but the traces in front of her could only be caused by direct-fire cannons. And to use a direct-fire cannon to hit here... The girl looked up at a small hill of an abandoned park not far away.

When they rushed to the hill, they found traces of civil engineering work there. Although Ya had no knowledge in this area, it did not prevent her from recognizing that the structure and size of this gun position were exactly the same as the Flak41 88mm anti-aircraft gun position she had seen in Gehenna.

The quality of the attackers was not very high, and the discarded shells were thrown on the ground at random. Ya picked up the shells of the two 88mm shells on the ground and looked at the Gehenna logo remaining on the shells. She froze in place. She remembered that she had encountered the arms smuggling of Pandemonium, and the smuggled goods were the Flak41 88mm anti-aircraft guns!

At that time, the anti-aircraft gun was covered with cloth and only its rough shape could be seen. Ya didn't pay too much attention to it. Now that she saw the broken shell with her own eyes, she was shocked. She didn't expect that the Pandemonium would dare to smuggle such contraband that was strictly prohibited by the federal government.

[Paradise, Caesar, it's you again...]

A feeling of annoyance flashed through her mind. It seemed that she could not escape it no matter where she ran. Ya took out the intercom that the teacher had temporarily given her and said, "Teacher, I found something here."

At the Abydos headquarters, the teacher is using Xia Lai's authority to let Alona locate the location of Qinxiang's phone. Since the signal tower in Abydos has not been updated for a long time, it takes Alona much longer than in Xia Lai to obtain the location information.

After a series of "chi chi" sounds came from the walkie-talkie hanging on the teacher's chest pocket, Ya's voice came out.

"Teacher, I have confirmed that Serika was abducted after being hit by a Gehenna Flak41 88mm anti-aircraft gun. If I remember correctly, this gun was provided to the attacker by the Caesar Group."

"Teacher! The location information is out! Serika's location is here."

Along with Ya's report, Alona's voice could be heard. The teacher nodded and said into the intercom, "Thank you for your hard work, Ya. Now let's go back to Abydos."

By the time Mei returned to the gate of the campus, everyone in Abydos was ready to go. There was the current president of Abydos, Hoshino Takanashi, holding a shotgun and a folding shield, the super-strong girl Izayoi Yonomiya, carrying a six-barreled revolver, and Shiroro Sand Wolf, carrying a black shoulder bag and a white SG556 assault rifle. Except for Ayane, who was responsible for logistics and had to stay at school, all the members of Abydos were dispatched.

"Well, I really want to ask, where are the other students in Abydos?" Looking at the three fully armed men and the leading teacher, Ya couldn't help but ask the doubts in his heart.

"Xiaoya, there are only five of us in Abydos."

It was the flaxen-haired girl with extraordinary strength, Nomiya, who answered Mei, but this only made Mei more confused. "Wasn't Abydos one of the three most powerful schools? Even if it declined...ah, are you saying that the Helmets kidnapped Serika-san?"

Halfway through her words, Mei felt that the pink-haired president's face turned ugly for a moment. Realizing that she had said something wrong, the girl immediately changed the subject.

However, Hoshino was not a petty person. After realizing her own gaffe, she immediately laughed it off. The lazy look she deliberately revealed was completely different from before, which made Mei more alert to her.

After turning a few streets and passing through an abandoned train station covered in yellow sand, the group continued along the faintly visible railroad tracks. The weather was very good today, the sun was not too scorching, and there was no wind on the road. They soon found traces of the convoy.

"This is a truck, this is a tank... Are the helmeted groups nowadays so rich?" Ya expressed his doubts after carefully observing the traces. If it was just the anti-aircraft gun from before, it would be fine. An ordinary gangster group could also raise funds by gritting their teeth. But even tanks, a weapon with a higher ban than anti-aircraft guns, appeared. Ya had to suspect something fishy.

"Do you have a grudge against Caesars?"

After thinking about it for a while, Ya asked everyone in Abydos, if Abydos has a grudge against the Caesar Group, then it would be great if his revenge plan could win over an ally.

Hearing Ya's question, Bai Zi, who was walking at the front of the group, turned around. The two wolf ears on her head trembled. After a moment, she replied, "There is no hatred. On the contrary, we owe a large debt to the Caesar Group."

It was Hoshino, the chairman of the board of directors, who first realized what Mei meant. The smart girl had already figured out all the connections, but she still didn't understand why Caesar hired people to attack them.

"Thank you, Xiaoya, for reminding me. You did all this for us, strangers. I'm so moved that I almost cried." As he said this, Hoshino wiped his eyes as if he was really crying.

Ya opened her mouth but didn't say anything. It seemed that the inside story was more complicated than she had imagined. However, she only needed to help Abydos rescue the people. It was already very kind of her to just remind him about the rest of the things. It was not easy for her to intervene, not to mention that the girl's own companion was still missing.

Following the traces of the Helmeted Group, they soon arrived at the next abandoned station. The Helmeted Group that kidnapped Qinxiang also appeared in their sight. At this moment, they were gathering in groups of three or four in the station that had been converted into a temporary camp to rest.

Everyone hiding behind the sand dunes outside the station turned back to look at the teacher, obviously identifying him as the commander of the operation.

The teacher nodded, took out the tablet he was carrying and started an app.

Following an invisible wave, the nearby 3D model appeared in miniature on the tablet. At the same time, Ya felt an inexplicable feeling in his body, as if he could easily catch a tank shell with his face.

[Is this the power of a teacher?]

Thinking secretly, Ya heard the teacher say: "Action begins!"

PS: Because shotgun is a sensitive word, I will call it shotgun from now on.

The Story of Abydos: Chapter 3: Rescue and the Legendary Hungry King

Kanna was crawling in the yellow sand. The desert camouflage uniform on her body made her blend in perfectly with the environment. After she separated from her companions that day, no pursuers caught up with her. But looking at the abandoned streets that seemed to look the same in all directions, the girl had to admit a fact: she was lost.

Fortunately, when she was in the fishing club, she often went without food for a day or two in order to go fishing. Coupled with the more than a year of mercenary life with no food to eat, she successfully developed the ability to go without food for several days - but that was without strenuous exercise.

She had just experienced a fierce chase two days ago, and was staying in an abandoned building at night. She had just drunk the last sip of water in her body. If she couldn't find the way out... Kanna estimated that she would not survive the night.

But there is an even bigger trouble right now. Looking through the ZF39 sniper scope mounted on her rifle, she sees an abandoned train station in front of her, where a number of helmeted gang thugs are gathered in groups of three or four.

Kanna licked her lips which were cracked due to lack of water. Now she only had three rounds of ammunition left. It was unrealistic to confront the Emu Group head-on, but what if she asked them for help directly?

Kanna is not stupid enough to think that the Helmet Gang thugs will care about her life or death. Based on her experience, it is likely that the Helmet Gang will humiliate her and then leave her to fend for herself.

In such a desperate situation, even she, who had great patience, was rubbing the trigger guard anxiously.

But things don't seem to be without hope.

In the field of view of the sniper scope, four people jumped out from behind the sand dunes on the other side of the station. One of them was a flaxen-haired girl who exaggeratedly raised a miniature machine gun and fired at the helmeted group.

[team leader?]

Unexpectedly seeing Ya among the crowd in Abydos, Kanna, who had been expressionless, couldn't help but show a look of joy. This time he was really going to escape.

On the other side, Mei followed behind Hoshino who was advancing slowly with his shield unfolded. The teacher's instructions kept coming from the portable headphones in her ears. This time she experienced the feeling that Xia Lai and his group had had on the street that day.

"Xiaoya, there is a sniper 40 meters away at 3 o'clock. Pay attention to cover Xingye."

Following the instructions in her ears, Ya raised her gun and aimed at that place, but before she pulled the trigger, the sniper in her sight was hit by a bullet and knocked unconscious to the ground.

Ya was stunned for a moment, but didn't think much about it. It was possible to be accidentally injured by stray bullets on the battlefield. But she had to sigh that under the teacher's command that was like a full-view perspective, the battle went much more smoothly.

It is no exaggeration to say that if she had the teacher's help in the past two days, she could even lead her teammates to fight back against Caesar's pursuers!

In the distance, Kanna pulled the bolt to eject the cartridge and at the same time loaded the next bullet into the chamber. She still had two bullets left and had to prioritize dealing with high-threat targets.

The helmeted regiments on the opposite side had never expected that the enemy would appear in their base camp. The leader of the helmeted regiment hurriedly got up from the bed in the camp and only heard a noise outside. When she realized that there was an enemy attack, she put on her helmet and ran out of the tent.

"Enemy attack! Organize a counterattack immediately! Go get the tanks!"

This team of helmet regiments was obviously the elite among the helmet regiments. They were able to organize an effective counterattack even when they were attacked. At least none of the helmet regiments that Ya had seen before could have such organizational ability.

"Bad kids will be punished~"

As these words were spoken, Nomiya behind Mei raised his miniature machine gun. After a few seconds of warm-up, the specially made machine gun bullets poured towards the Helmet Regiment like a metal jet. Many thugs from the Helmet Regiment who had found cover and tried to fight back watched in horror as their cover was shattered, and then the bullets hit them heavily.

Fortunately, the mysterious protection of the halo prevented them from ending up like the bunker, but after Nomiya's round of fire, there were no thugs who could fight back within her range.

A four-rotor drone circled a few times above the battlefield, and then Ayane's voice came from the headset: "Everyone, the data from the drone shows that Serika is in that truck."

The teacher behind the dune nodded and casually operated on the tablet to highlight the three-dimensional shape representing the truck.

"Thank you for your support. Now everyone, with Hoshino as the vanguard, advance towards the white truck. Watch out for incoming enemy tanks!"

Under the cover of Nomiya's firepower, the three of them broke into the station without much resistance, but then a tank with the Caesar logo on it drove out from the platform, and its 75mm caliber gun barrel was facing them.

The threat of the cannon gave Mei goosebumps. If such a cannon were to hit her, she would probably be unconscious for a few days. But Xingye did not pause for a moment.

Mei looked at the third grader in front of her, who was two centimeters shorter than her, waving a shield in one hand and rushing towards the tank.

"Oh!"

The tank opened fire. Ya watched the high-speed flying shells hit the shield and then burst into a violent explosion. The flames engulfed the petite figure in front of her, and Ya didn't even have time to reach out to pull her.

"It's okay." Bai Zi saw Mei's nervousness, and she put a hand on the girl's shoulder to calm her down.

Sure enough, before the smoke and dust cleared, Ya saw the unharmed Hoshino take a step forward and jump in front of the tank. While the gangster in the tank was still loading the second shell, Hoshino jumped to the top of the turret.

"Are you the ones who kidnapped Sister Serika? Uncle, I really need to stretch my muscles." While saying this, Hoshino dropped his shield and grabbed the hatch handle.

Under the stunned gaze of the teacher and Mei, Hoshino exerted a little force and pulled the entire hatch off.

Kanna, who was observing the battlefield from a distance, was even more surprised. Mei and her teacher might not understand, but after being immersed in Caesar for more than a year, she knew clearly that this tank was an anti-personnel weapon specially designed by Caesar. The 75mm high-explosive bomb was enough to send any bad girl to the hospital, but Hoshino was able to fight back against its firepower, which shows how powerful he is.

Hoshino bent down and reached in, directly lifting the panicked helmet group leader out of the tank. The latter was sweating profusely and kept muttering "Monster... Where did the monster come from!"

The morale of the helmeted group on the field plummeted. Some people tried to focus their fire on the girl standing on the tank, but the bullets were easily dodged. Occasionally, a bullet hit her, but it couldn't change her movements at all.

Seeing Hoshino casually throwing the frightened boss to the ground, the morale of the Helmet Regiment completely collapsed. One after another, they laid down their weapons and surrendered. After all, no one would think that they were more resilient than a tank.

"Ahaha, Hoshino-san's fighting style... is pretty wild."

Looking at how Hoshino casually blew up the tank's ammunition rack with a shotgun and jumped down, Ya seriously suspected that the folding shield existed as a prop to limit Hoshino's combat effectiveness.

Bai Zi did reveal a hint of nostalgia: "Senior is not usually like this. This time she is just like the first time I met her."

Inside the dark train compartment, the sounds of intense fighting slowly woke Qin Xiang. She felt her body being tightly restrained, unable to move. She struggled to open her eyes, but all around her was darkness, illuminated only by a faint sliver of light filtering through the crack in the truck door.

[Where is this?! Am I being kidnapped?!] Qinxiang's heart sank. When she regained consciousness, she subconsciously reached out to rub her eyes, but found herself tied up tightly. Only then did she remember the scene of being attacked by the Helmet Group after get off work last night.

[Damn Helmeted Group, where do you want to take me...] Serika stopped listening to the noise outside. The sounds of explosions and gunfire irritated her nerves. Serika began to struggle hard, but until her strength was exhausted, the rope showed no sign of loosening. The pitch-black environment around her made her feel extremely scared.

[It's so dark... What's that?] After her eyes adjusted to the darkness, she keenly noticed a ray of light coming through the crack in the truck door. She struggled and twisted her body, finally moving to the door. Through the narrow gap, she looked out.

What came into view was a vast expanse of desert, bordered by an abandoned railway. The desert, bathed in sunlight, shone a faint yellow, appearing exceptionally desolate. Because the gap was so small, this was all Serika could see.

[...Desert...Railway?!] As a native of Abydos, Serika quickly realized that she was now in the desert outside Abydos.

[Oh no, this is a deserted place with no communication at all! Even if I escape, I can't contact anyone... What should I do? Everyone must be worried about me...] Her mind was full of thoughts, and driven by fear, Serika began to have wild thoughts.

[...They're not planning to bury me in the wilderness, are they? Then no one will ever find me again... If I lose contact like this, they'll definitely think I left Abydos like everyone else... Will they think I've betrayed them? I won't be able to resolve this misunderstanding, and I won't have the chance to see everyone again. I'll just die like this... No... I don't want this...]

As she thought about it, Qinxiang couldn't help but shed tears, which flowed down her cheeks. The emotions buried in her heart for days seemed to be about to burst out all at once, but soon the noise outside interrupted her crying.

"Ah, we found Serika! We found her!" The sharp-eyed Ayane was the first to discover Serika in the truck through the images transmitted by the drone.

"I saw it too, Qinxiang is crying!" Baizi, who was closer to the truck, used a gun to break the lock on the rear door. When she opened the door, she found Qinxiang with tears on her face.

Hoshino had already folded up her shield. Seeing Serika's expression, she deliberately put on a sad face: "What?! My precious daughter is crying? Is it because she missed us too much? It's all Mommy's fault!!"

"Woo, woo! Who is crying? I'm not crying, I'm not crying!" Qinxiang defended herself with shame, and wanted to reach out to wipe away the tears on her face, but she found that she was still tied up and couldn't move at all.

"You're lying. Tears are clearly still on your face."

"Don't cry, dear Qinxiang! We are here now, Nuo, let me wipe your tears!"

Everyone in Abydos surrounded her, and under the different styles of concern, Qinxiang...started to act arrogant.

"Uh, why are you apologizing? You didn't do any of these things...ah, this is so annoying!! I said I didn't cry, and that's how it is! Shut up!" Shame and self-esteem surged into the heart, and the tsundere cat's face turned red.

"Well, it's great that Serika is okay." After firing a few more shots at the helmeted group that fainted along the way, the teacher also came to Serika's side.

"What? Why is the teacher here too?! How did you find this place?!"

"After all, Serika is the little princess of Abydos. I can't just sit there and do nothing."

"You...you! Are you stupid?! What nonsense are you talking about?! Are you crazy? Do you believe I can deal with you? Who, who is the princess?!"

The crisis in Abydos came to an end for the time being. Ya, with a submachine gun slung across his shoulder, leaned against the platform pillar and looked at the reunion plot over there.

She still had to watch over these surrendered Helmet Regiment thugs, and since she was not a member of Abydos, there was no need for her to get involved in other people's affairs.

She sighed imperceptibly. It would be a lie to say she wasn't envious. Although Abydos was so weak that it only had five students, their school spirit was far better than Gehenna's. Looking at their harmonious appearance, Mei couldn't help but think of her teammates. At least Eri and the others didn't choose to abandon her when they were beaten badly by Caesar like her, but fought hand in hand with her.

Abydos has repaid her kindness, and now it's time to find Eri and the others. Mei feels that her only goal now is revenge on the Caesar Group. To achieve this goal, she must accumulate strength...

"team leader!"

A call interrupted Mei's thoughts. The familiar voice made the girl's heart skip a beat. She turned around and looked in the direction of the voice. It was indeed Kanna.

Kanna was so hungry that she felt dizzy and her waist-length hair was messy and her face was covered with dust. She was so weak that she had to use the rifle in her hand as a crutch, leaning on it to move towards Mei step by step.
