Rebuild World

116 Rescue Battle

Akira's car accelerates rapidly. Akira and Carroll in the rear of the car have a sudden acceleration of inertia. Akira did not fall ill thanks to the manipulation of fortified clothing by Alpha. Carol didn't lose her posture thanks to her own strength and the performance of her fortified clothes.

Alpha explains the situation to Akira next to Carol looking out for Akira.

"Akira, there are many monsters in the direction of progress. Elena and the others are going to break through by defeating only enemies who are obstacles to movement. Note that there are still monsters left and right on the road that Elena and the others ignored. If those monsters come after us, we could get pinched, so let's take them down early. '

Copy that.

Akira tells Carol of the enemy attack once and for all.

"Carol. The enemy."

"I know. Leave it to me."

Carol had also already detected a monster in an opponent by his information-gathering device. Akira talks to Carol, who laughs and puts up a gun.

"No, I fight too"

Carol answers slightly dissatisfied.

"You don't trust me. It's okay."

"It's not. I hired Carol as my guide in the first place. It's helpful to have you fight, but you don't have to force me to fight aggressively, okay?

Carol answers with a laugh.

"Alas, it's not hard to charge Akira for not fighting hard either. I'm not willing to take part in anything more than a guide's reward."

Akira laughs and answers, too.

"Okay. If I destroy my enemies on my own, Carol's payouts are cheap, right?

"I'll squeeze you out plenty"

Akira and Carol laughed invincibly and joyfully at each other.

Numerous mechanical monsters roamed the roads of the ruins of Mihazono Street today. They vary in strength and size. Elena and the others shoot and destroy enemies that obstruct passage, hit and destroy them with their cars, trample and destroy them, and move on. If you slow down poorly, you'll allow the monsters around you to assemble, so it's safer to move on even if the car gets hit somewhat.

The roads are littered with metal parts of destroyed mechanical monsters, making it difficult for ordinary cars to get through. However, a vehicle with wilderness specifications does not hinder traffic to that extent. Unless the large wreckage blocks the way, it's possible enough for Elena and the others' vehicles to break through forcefully.

Mechanical monsters don't lose that will, no matter how much they destroy their allies, no matter how much they destroy themselves. But the priorities for action change. Sometimes, if the target moves away, it stops the attack by prioritizing other enemy opponents, etc. And in the case of airframes with excellent mobility, there are naturally also individuals who switch to tracking the priorities of their actions.

Some mechanical monsters, overtaken by Akira and the others, spin fiercely the spherical tires at the tip of their multilegged feet. The tires rubbed the ground and accelerated at once with enough rotation to raise the smoke slightly, starting to chase Akira and the others vigorously.

The monsters follow the path after cleaning the obstacle faster than the Akira and the others as they destroy the obstacle blocking the way to go. It is difficult to scatter without intercepting enemies.

Akira sets up an A4WM automatic projectile gun on the next enemy. Peek into the aimer, aim firmly, and try to pull the trigger.

Before Akira pulls the trigger, the enemy she was after is blown flashly and falls. The airframe was heavily distorted by the impact of the landing. An individual who fell was causing secondary damage by hitting other airframes directly.

Every time a gunshot sounds next to Akira, one robust mechanical monster after another is destroyed. It was Carol who shot him. The barrel is very large compared to the grip, regardless of the one-handed design, and holding it with one hand is a large pistol that seems impossible. He was holding it in each hand and shooting at another individual with each gun. All bullets had been hit.

Akira looks at Carol with a little surprise. Carol smiled (cheeks) at Akira and returned to destroying the enemy again.

Speak with a look that Alpha was slightly impressed with.

"There's just something to say."

'Right. If we don't hurry, I'm going to lose my point. "

"Carol is after the first enemy in turn. Akira's after the enemy."

Copy that.

The priority of what is displayed in Akira's extended vision is rewritten. Akira switched goals, aiming closely and pulling the trigger. The projectiles did not hit the target, but hit the ground a little before it. A mechanical monster was blown away by an explosion of projectiles.

Akira blushes.

"Did you take it off? A little more upstairs, huh?

"My support will not be complete until the A4WM automatic projectile gun data collection is complete. You're shooting a bullet, so it's tough if you accidentally shoot your own car. Just stop it. '

"Copy that. Stop when you're in danger."

Akira sets her aim again and pulls the trigger. A projectile flies through the air, exploding on the ground near its target, passing and crashing into the wall of a rear building, hitting a different mechanical monster than the one it was after. Although it is originally difficult to snipe from a swinging body, it is an inappropriate hit rate.

"Don't hit me."

'Something I haven't practiced at all. Naturally. Even if it comes off a little, it can do enough damage to stop the enemy from pursuing it. Let's keep going.'

Do you only have practice?

Even if Akira fires some enemies out, it's not a problem because Carol is destroying them well. Until he crossed the mountain range, Akira repeated crude sniping like someone else when he used a CWH objective assault gun.

Hunters stood and caged in one of the countless buildings in the city section of the ruins of Mihazono Street.

The hunters occupy a hall close to the entrance and exit of the first floor of the building and seal off passageways and stairs leading to other rooms with equipment. Their vehicles are used to seal off the building's entrances and exits. The monster has already destroyed the body of the vehicle and cannot serve any purpose other than to prevent the enemy from entering.

The building itself is pretty sturdy. Blocking the entrance and exit will prevent enemy attacks to some extent. For that matter, it's harder to escape, but it's better than getting invaded by an enemy.

He was taking turns taking a break, but his fatigue is showing up in colour on the faces of all of them. There are monsters roaming outside the building. Other floors in the building, the same goes for the other rooms. If you're alarmed, a monster will break in by removing obstacles from the aisles and entrances. There is no time to rest. There is no chance of replenishing ammunition, restorative drugs, etc. The rest of the ammunition is also their lifespan as it is.

No one tries to get out of the building by betting on their wishes. I'm not exactly there anymore. Those who tried were all killed by mechanical monsters who were left to surround the building.

The only hope left for them is for someone to come and rescue them. But that's not Fang either.

Ask another hunter whose watch hunter is staring at the information terminal during a break.

"... any change?

The man asked shook his head beside him in silence.

"... right"

Those who asked also knew the response. Because if there is any progress, there will definitely be a change in a man's attitude without having to ask. Still, what I ask is the expression of my heart in fine hope.

More than half a day has passed since the hunters stood and caged in this building. They fled into this building before sundown. Half of those who were there were already dead.

He was attacked by his enemies on his way into the building, he was attacked by his enemies while blocking passages and entrances and exits, his wounds worsened during the battle, he tried to escape from the building and was attacked by surrounding enemies, he responded and died, he was summoning (wow) and he died, he died semi-frequently. The survivors are also physically and mentally close to their limits. If someone goes semi-frequent again and jumps out of the building, no one else has the strength to stop it.

Still, there is still hope of survival. Because I sent an urgent request to the best of my mind. It is possible that a request for rescue has been received. Someone might come to the rescue if you buy some time.

There is not enough courage, courage and madness left for the surviving hunters to jump outside with no prospect of survival. Watching the diminishing ammunition, I grind my spirit down with fine hope. The hunters gave themselves up to the flow as they slowly progressed to the point where they could be insane, in a delicate hope.

A man keeps staring at the information terminal. I receive a communication from someone in my dreams and hallucinations and return to me to check my information terminal to realize that it was either a dream or hallucination. I had already repeated that a few times.

A call request was received by short-range communication on the man's terminal. I have a nearly broken grin watching a man flash the notice. Man doesn't know if this is a dream or a hallucination or a reality. But we do the same thing. The information terminal was operated and a call request was accepted. Then a woman's voice comes from the information terminal.

"He who commissioned a rescue request from Alhain Insurance. Is that Mr. Cochrans?

The man was stunned. The woman's voice was in her ear, but she was not in a position to understand its contents.

"Do you hear me? I should have connected you to Mr. Cochrans' information device, which has Alhain Insurance's rescue policy. No?"

The man was confused. I wasn't in a state where I could tell if I was dreaming or hallucinating.

"You're not in a state where you can talk with injuries? Then I wonder if someone could speak for me. I need to know what's going on over there."

A woman keeps talking because a man doesn't reply.

"Are you listening? If I can't talk to you, and nobody else, I'd like you to send me a text message, too. Or is he just set up on the information terminal to automatically connect to external communications, and he's dead? Are you listening? Anybody home?

Finally, the man returned it to me. The man also understood that the woman's voice was real. At that moment, a man screams at the information terminal with an all-out voice.

"Help me!

The scream of a man echoes in the hall. The gaze of the hunters in the hall gathers.

The woman's voice heard from the man's information terminal belonged to Elena, who came to help them.

Akira and the others continue to forcefully break through the road at the ruins of Mihazono Street. The road is wide but there are many enemies. If you stop on the spot and respond, the wreckage of the defeated enemy will bury the area and make it impossible to travel in the vehicle.

It kept destroying Akira and Carol to compete for the small multi-legged tank they were coming after. The number of destroyed is Carol's overwhelming victory. Still enough for Akira to have no trouble trying and shooting A4WM automatic projectiles. Alpha would have got enough data, too.

Akira spills stupidity.

"How much is it? There's no cutting."

Carol answers Akira's question.

"I hear the hunter's office's power is laying a line of defense to a certain extent based on the outpost. Perhaps that's how dense the enemy is on the outside."

"Does the Hunter Office do that? How the hell did you know that?

"I heard from Sikarabe during the break. It seems to have succeeded in eliminating powerful unmanned weapons by putting a significant number of manned weapons inside the defensive line during the night. We're in the middle of sealing off the main corridors to guarantee a certain level of safety. I hear Drunkham's troops are also involved in that task."

Akira remembered the wreckage of a large aircraft and the arms of a man-made weapon she saw along the way. Perhaps that is the mark of that engagement. Akira and the others are outside the line of defense. In other words, it is possible that the large aircraft in that hand is roaming.

Akira speaks with a disgusting look.

"Is it like this everywhere on the outside? Then surely if you don't have insurance, you won't get many emergency requests for rescue. We're gonna need insurance."

"The insurance company didn't decide on the premium, assuming this situation, either, so it's probably a huge loss."

Both Akira and Carol can afford to chat during the fight. Compared to yesterday's situation, when a large number of mechanical monsters struck inside the Serantaru building, there is nothing more panicky than the current situation. The hunters in line were in a hurried battlefield, and Akira and the others showed their strength.

Elena sends instructions to all Akira and the others via the information terminal.

"There's a rescue object standing in a cage in the building at the gate 200 meters away. Shikarabe parked at the entrance and exit of the building and let all rescued targets board without questioning life or death. The remaining members must destroy the enemies around the entrance and exit. The rescue targets are caged near the entrance to the building, so you don't have to break into the building to secure the evacuation route."

Sicarabe asks Elena.

"What time can you spend riding them?

"Ten minutes. I'm just gonna leave the one that delays the ride."

"What's your top priority boarding target?

"A hunter is the insurance policy holder. If you are already dead, give me a ride regardless of the extent of the body damage. At least I want his information device. If you can't find the person or the I.D. device, cut the search in five minutes."

"Couldn't you get in touch with him?

"I have been contacted by a person who claims to have an information device for the person in question."

Shikarabe answers with a slight hassle.

"... oh, I got it"

Sikarabe had guessed a lot from years of hunter operation. Same goes for Sarah and Carol. Akira is the only one whose understanding hasn't caught up.

Elena gets confirmation from Akira.

"Is Akira and the others okay? There were more raids than I expected. You're not pushing me?

In a good way, it's a question to care about Akira, in a bad way, to see how Akira, the poorest equipment, including vehicles, and Carol, Elena, doesn't know exactly what she's equipped for or what she's capable of. If it was a lingering answer, the hunters must be stopped in the worst case scenario.

Akira answers firmly.

"It's okay. No problem."

Elena's brave voice echoes from the information terminal.

"Yes. Then let's go!

Ahkira and the others jumped into the building's premises, spearheading Elena and her vehicles.

The mechanical monsters that surrounded the building simultaneously switch from the hunters who are targeting and caged to Akira and the others. A monster equipped with a firearm likeness points one gunpoint after another at Akira and the others. A monster who can only attack melee moves to pack distance from Akira and the others.

And the moment Akira and the others were quickly targeted and the fuselage tried to raise fire, the fuselage blew up into the wood dust in Akira's attack.

Machine guns from Sikarabe's armoured personnel transport vehicle fire a strip of ammunition in large quantities. A powerful bullet that works on the bounty neck at close range easily penetrates the mechanical monsters' half-breed armor and scatters internal parts.

The bullets emanating from the machine guns mounted on Elena's vehicle are exposed to the monsters gathering from around the building. Sarah keeps putting up an automatic projectile gun and shooting. Countless bullets drop over the heads of the monsters, and countless explosions blow the monsters away.

Akira and Carol point their guns at the gates of the premises and intercept the monsters trying to break into the premises.

The enemy is massive enough that several vehicles can block large gates, but the bullets unleashed by Carroll and Akira's drops destroy, crush, blow, and turn into scraps of iron.

Throughout that pile of scrap iron, the monsters blow it up, step on it and push it back into the property with fire, including other guns installed in the gun seat at the rear of the vehicle. Half broken, completely destroyed, transformed into crushed mechanical parts to keep blowing them up.

The site instantly turned into a battlefield dominated by iron fire.

Hunters standing and caged inside the building are watching Akira and the others fight from the gap in the obstacle blocking the building's entrance and exit.

"Coming! There's really help here!

"Open the exit quickly! You can't go out there like this!

"The one in fortified clothing can help you take off (dust) the vehicle blocking the exit!

"Bring the wounded near the exit!

The hunters start to move in a hurry. If you miss this opportunity, there is no way to survive. Everyone understood that. We will mobilize the rest of our energy and strength to continue the work.

When Akira and the others crudely destroy the enemy on the property, Shikarabe stops the armoured personnel carriers on the side (by the side) of the entrance and exit of the building. Then he pointed the rear of the vehicle towards the entrance to the building and opened the rear door and went outside.

The entrance to and exit from the building remains blocked by a destroyed vehicle. One of the hunters who was standing in a cage is trying to get out of the building in a desperate shape through a narrow gap that he's likely to manage to get out of.

Shikarabe kicked the wreckage of the vehicle blocking the entrance and exit as much as she wanted. The wreckage of the kicked vehicle blows up a few meters to the side.

Sikarabe gives instructions out loud.

"I'm leaving in ten minutes! Get them all on board, alive or dead! And when's the cocollense guy?

A hunter attempting to enter the vehicle through the side of the sicarabe can be stopped by the sicarabe catching his arm. A man screams in desperate shape.

"Hey, what!? Let me in!

"The one who can move on his own will come later. Bring the one you can't move on your own first."

The man desperately tries to get into the vehicle by shaking off the sicarabe stop.

"Ugh! I'm gonna survive!

Shikarabe threw the man who screamed into the building with momentum. The man fainted when he was tapped (just) on a stiff floor with his strength drained and rolled straight to the floor.

Shikarabe spots the other hunters. The hunters' legs stop trying to follow the man.

"Say it again! Get them all on board, alive or dead! Corpses, but no heads, no heads, but everybody! And when's the cocollense guy? Or the one who was in touch with us."

A hunter lending a shoulder to the wounded fingers another hunter.

"... and the one I was in touch with, that's him"

To the hunter to whom Sikarabe replied, point him in the jaw to get in the car. The hunter exhales in relief (mostly) and gets into the car. The other hunters also boarded the car with those who could not move on their own, regardless of life or death.

See the hunter Sikarabe was in touch with Elena. The hunter's expression caught on.

Akira and the others continued to defeat the surrounding monsters while Shikarabe was boarding the rescued hunters. Did you crudely defeat the surrounding enemies, or the amount of additional monsters appearing outside the gate or from around the building had decreased considerably.

Akira exhales lightly.

"If you take this down on the boulder, there will be no backup."

Carol smiles mightily when she sees Akira.

"Akira. Does the reward for me seem cheap enough?

Akira replies with a bitter smile, but somewhere fun.

"At this rate, it's going to be expensive"

Carol laughs and talks satisfactorily.

"I see you've been shown that you're not like me yesterday. Can I expect a reward?

"It's only the beginning. It's too soon to feel safe that way. Don't be alarmed, okay?

"I won't be alarmed. I told you, didn't I? He said I'd squeeze you out plenty."

Akira and Carol laughed invincibly fun at each other.

Alpha giggles and gives Akira instructions.

'Then shall we keep the chase of the number of destroys in the meantime so that Akira's share of reward remains? Akira. Switch to CWH Object Assault Gun'

'Okay. You defeated all that and you still have an extra few monsters left around?

Akira changed the weapon used as instructed to a CWH objective assault gun, with a troublesome look on her face.

'Not exactly, that's not an extra minute. For the first time. "

Alpha points to Bill. When Akira looked at the building, Akira's vision was expanded to reveal a mechanical monster previously hidden and invisible on the wall of the building. Akira immediately set up a CWH objective assault gun against the building.

Carol gets caught by Akira and puts a gun in the direction of the building. But Carol didn't seem to have enemies. In Carol's eyes are the ground scattered with the remains of mechanical monsters, sturdy old world buildings, cicarabes in retreat and Elena, who are on guard around them. I don't see the presence of enemies.

Carol returns her gaze to Akira. Akira puts up a gun to Bill with a serious look on her face.

It was when Carol glanced back at Bill again. A mechanical monster popped out the window on the third floor of the building. Carol was surprised to see it, and even more surprised to see the sight of that mechanical monster being instantly shot and half-destructed by Akira. The sniped mechanical monster fell as-is and clashed to the ground, flashly pulling (shaking) and completely stopping functioning.

Mechanical monsters sprang out of multiple windows of the building one after another. Akira snipes them one after the other with unparalleled accuracy. The sniped aircraft was stripped from the wall, whether damaged or not, by the impact of the landing, and was devastated by the impact that fell and clashed to the ground. Part of it crashed into the ceiling of an armoured personnel transport vehicle, sounding flashy inside. The hunters in the car made a small scream.

Akira knows exactly where Alpha's enemies are coming from. Hit corrections by Alpha will also add up to continue to accurately target enemy weaknesses with one blow. The mechanical monster targeted by Akira was destroyed the moment it went outside the building and fell to the ground.

Elena and the others immediately notice the enemy attack and respond. Carol also joins the attack immediately. Parts of the destroyed mechanical monsters are pouring down to the ground.

Think as Carol shoots down the monsters coming down the side of the building.

(See you later. Akira was aware of the enemy's presence earlier than anyone else. What the hell kind of defensive powers are you in? We didn't notice until the enemy came out of the building. It doesn't look like it holds that much high-performance enemy equipment. I'm guessing the best hunter has.)

Carol only visually checked Akira's equipment, but it didn't look like Akira was equipped with that much high-performance information-gathering equipment in Carol's eyes. You don't even look like you're faking your gear.

Many hunters, called first-rate, notice the presence of enemies that they should never have noticed unless they are also high-performance information-gathering equipment. Detect the presence of an enemy with something that you don't even know and can't explain. I can't explain it to myself or to anyone else, so it's called a survey and it's something that's in a bundle.

(Akira left it entirely to autopilot, too. Because you're in battle, in a situation where all those enemies are attacking you, can you believe in driving autopilot that far? Or was Akira driving remotely? Can you do that?

There are limits to the accuracy of the automated operation of a car. It would be difficult to entrust driving in the ruins without being equipped with such a high-performance control device and set in mind. If you're in battle, it's even more so. Worst case scenario, Akira and the others may be shaken off the car.

It is not impossible to obtain footage of the front of the vehicle in some way, using an on-board camera, or the like, and display that footage in a goggle, or the like, to drive the car remotely. If only Akira had that much power. It's not a lot like knowing exactly what's going on at the front and behind you and attacking the mechanical monsters that come after you while driving your car. At least Carol can't imitate it like that.

(My guess is it doesn't feel like either.... but I also feel it's dangerous to ask Akira about it.... really, you don't know what to do)

Carol was laughing invincibly for fun as she thought about it.

Carol was pulling information about Akira from Sikarabe. I also know Akira is a hundred million + million hunter. I also know that Sikarabe invited me to participate in the Bounty Neck Crusade to achieve enough. And I already know in yesterday's battle in Serantalville that that information is correct and that there is no mistake in Akira's prowess. That information had raised Carol's rating for Akira too much. There was indeed a single scale of hunters known as first-rate in Akira.

Gold obtained by a hunter with a sight on his life. Gold obtained from the sale of artifacts obtained in the ruins of the dangerous old world, or from the rewards obtained by accomplishing harsh requests, etc., for risking one's life. Carol remembered the dark joy of the hunters spending their precious gold, the seepage of their lives and lives, to hold themselves.

Carol thinks she's giving them the bliss they deserve for it. Even if a hunter with Carol headed to a more dangerous ruin for that payment and took on a more difficult request and ruined it as a result, Carol would just laugh thinly. You will be saddened that no one has asked for you enough to challenge a reckless bet beyond your own strength to hold you, and you will be glad that you have asked for yourself by that time.

How far will Akira spend for herself when Carol cages Akira? Carol laughed with that in mind, slightly dissatisfied and not distorted her face.

(... but so far, there's nothing like Akira getting her hands on me, is there? Neither did Sikarabe know Akira's lady's hobby. It seems Akira wasn't upset at all when Shikarabe called Akira to a tavern for both parties. Elena and Sarah, if you have a relationship with those two, it shouldn't mean Akira isn't interested in women either. I don't know. I wonder what Akira is dissatisfied with about me? I don't think my appearance is losing to those two. Is that a weird restraint?

Carol stops thinking there and concentrates on the fight. The circumstances surrounding Akira and the others have stopped allowing Carol to become aware of the extra thoughts.

Akira and the others struggled to deal with it properly. But the situation began to change as the monsters continued to show up through the windows on the upper floors of the building. A bunch of machines slowly start covering the sides of the building. Part of it starts shooting Akira and the others as they stick to the wall of the building. Akira and the others are destroying long-range enemies as a priority, but the amount of bullets coming down from overhead has gradually increased.

"Looks like there's plenty of stuff stuck in the building. It was a good fight out there."

Carol continued to pull the trigger as she concentrated her consciousness on her enemies and laughed. There was still room for Carol, who just couldn't afford to think about the extra things and changed the cost to a high-performance piece of equipment.
