238 Monsters in the airspace

Hikaru contacts me as Akira keeps guarding on the roof again.

"Akira, the command just contacted me to confirm the fallout ahead of course. Just be careful."

"Roger.... is that where it falls around here? It's dangerous."

Ruins, monsters, etc. fly in the eastern skies, and they drop a lot of things occasionally. In some cases they are valuable artifacts. It is nevertheless very dangerous for those on the ground, so basically areas with high fallout are removed from the transport vehicle's route of movement. Hikaru was a little strange because he knew about it, too, but he didn't care too much.

"I don't normally go through places like that, but he said the previous route was no longer available because of the giant bug nest, so I thought it would be better for falling objects than breaking through places like that, so maybe I changed the route of travel."

"Right."

I can't feel the urgency from Hikaru's attitude. So Akira didn't particularly care either.

But Alpha changed her attitude. Erase the usual smile (cheeks) and show stronger vigilance when swarming giant bugs.

"Akira. Be vigilant."

"… Copy that. Alpha. Is that so bad?

"Maybe."

A reaction is expressed in the information gathering device. Reflectively looking in that direction, a white large humanoid weapon was breaking through a thick cloud and falling.

The fuselage crashes into the ground a little further away from the vehicle as it is. By pointing the propulsion device on the back towards the ground in an attempt to contain the impact of the clash, the fine debris around him was blown flashly.

Akira points a gun at the fuselage. I think the reason for Alpha's alert is that aircraft, in which case he recognizes it as an enemy and puts a lot of energy into the loaded C-bullet (charge barret) via a two-handed LEO compound gun. If it's excessive, you can reduce it from the next, giving priority to destroying it with one blow first, raising the power to the limit.

Before the end of that hoarding time, another strikes a white fuselage faster than a bullet is fired. A disc-shaped black attacker appearing through the clouds flies in a straight line onto a large white aircraft on the ground. The white fuselage unleashed a barrage trying to shoot off the black disc, but it could not stop (and stop) its approaching, and it ate a direct hit and was destroyed as it was.

The black disc that destroyed the target quickly flies to the next attack target, to the nearest other white fuselage. White fuselages were descending one after the other around the transport vehicle. Some airframes have failed to land and are falling into the wilderness, others are side-by-side with vehicles, and others are climbing roofs. And he was starting to engage with a black disc.

Further changes appear in the situation in front of Akira, who is half-assed (abruptly) because of a sudden situation. The cloudy amount of light, which cannot be said to be excessively bright, becomes even dimmer like shade. When Akira accidentally raised her face, a ceiling was being created ahead of her sight. A black disc was ejected one after the other from the opening of its ceiling.

Akira guesses who the ceiling is and squeals (crushing) like she wants someone to deny it.

"... no way, monster, is it?

"There's a monster descending from the sky. Akira, get in the mood. I'll get rid of you."

Akira returned to me when she heard a word she didn't want to hear. But the agitation remains strong, turning his face towards Alpha unexpectedly. I'm usually careful not to be suspicious, but it was a move I completely forgot about.

"Wait. It's a boulder, and I don't know how you can do it in the mood.

The size of the monster to look up to was beyond the length of a vehicle line each of which consisted of a huge enough inter-city transport vehicle. The shadows created from that giant completely cover the lane.

Alpha laughs lightly at Akira, who is putting out more surprises than sagacity.

'It's okay. It's not that way to deal directly with them.'

Instructions from the security side fly to Akira, who has regained some calm with Alpha's smile.

"Tell all guards! Destroy all man-made weapons that appear in the vicinity with all your might! At least pull it off the train! Get rid of the factors that caused the monsters in the airspace to descend to the ground immediately!

'That's what I'm talking about. Akira. I'll get started.'

The motorcycle moves out under Alpha's maneuver. Akira also sidestepped the extra questions and strays with it and switched her consciousness back to battle. Align the aim of the guns on both hands to the white fuselage while driving fast through the roof of the vehicle on a motorcycle. At the same time, move the gun attached to the motorcycle's general purpose arm and aim for the same goal.

In a slow-flowing world, Akira's strength and Alpha's ability to compute align the aim of four (today) LEO compound guns to the only point. And the C-bullets (charge valets), which had already increased their power to the limit, were shot out of the gunpoint simultaneously.

Countless bullets land simultaneously on one point of their target due to extremely precise sniping as physically permissible in that environment. The shock swelled up by that synergy blew one leg of a robust man-made weapon.

"Oh? Surprisingly brittle?

"It must have been an influence that was already engaged with monsters in the airspace. Damage and energy levels are far from complete. '

'Is that what you mean? So, what can we do about it?

One legged fuselage points a giant gun at Akira. However, attitude control is difficult with one foot, strong wind, and reduced energy residue, and the automatic equilibrium maintenance device (autobalancer) of the fuselage is limited. In addition, there are traction shootings from Akira's side, which cause the aiming to go significantly crazy. The directional energy bullet, the so-called (so-called) laser cannon, fired from the muzzle ended up just scorching the atmosphere next to Akira.

In that gap, Akira switches the driving path from the roof of the vehicle to the side. By creating a temporary rail with force field armor, Forcefield Armor, shortly after the tire is away from the roof, making it a smooth ground surface, it travels without killing speed even when switching routes. Keep the transport vehicle shielded and pack the distance while blocking enemy rays.

"Akira, I'll use a knife next time. Try the comfort of using it now. '

Akira asks with a surprising face.

'Good, but you're gonna try it now?

Alpha laughs back for fun.

"When the enemy is at a distance, do you want to try it close?

Akira returned a bitter laugh. Then take the right-hand gun to the knife pattern (one) in an attempt to dance. There are no blades attached to the pattern (s).

Connect the lower portion of the pattern (s) to the connecting terminal portion of the motorcycle before extending it. The cord was stretched from the bike and wired to the pattern (s). Next, turn the upper part of the pattern (s) back and insert it into the connection of the box-shaped device attached to the general purpose arm of the motorcycle. And I pulled through well. Then the blade of liquid metal was stretched from the pattern (s).

The box-shaped device is a vault of liquid metal and a blade generator. The thin, tough (ginseng) liquid metal blade has a very good cut and even anti-force field armor effect. But it consumes a lot of energy to maintain the shape and sharpness of the blade. It is a weapon of a somewhat overwhelming design idea that it is basically a melee weapon because of it but cannot be used unless it is connected to a large energy pack used for vehicles. It is high performance if it is used well, but if it is used well, it is usually a kiwi that chooses other weapons.

What Akira bought after figuring it out is a big part of the Alpha recommendation. And even when I got the blades, I broke them many times soon, so I was interested in the product that had to break anyway and the blade part was disposable, or extinction premise.

Akira rushes up the side of the vehicle on a motorcycle as she lays on the side of her body, stretched to a length slightly beyond her height. And as he ran through the barrel-shaped driving path leading from the side to the roof side, he rose to the roof at once without killing speed and approached the large white fuselage there by spinning (twisted) over the rails made of Force Field Armor, a force field armor generated by both wheels of the bike.

White fuselage reactions are delayed by bizarre trajectories very different from both regular and flying motorcycles, and quick proximity in behavior. Akira waves the blade as she rushes through the side of the fuselage (buckwheat). That blade had only elevated the sharpness to its limit the moment it was wielded by the strict control of the alpha.

A blue-white light-emitting blade passes through the legs of the fuselage as it evaporates the liquid metal of the body. After a moment of delay, the body completely disappeared and the legs of the fuselage were severed. It was awesome (sushi) and sharp, created on the assumption that it was a one-size-fits-all consumable product from the beginning.

"Akira, next up is the AF objective gun."

A back AF objective cannon appears in front of Akira, activated on its own with Alpha manipulation. Akira grabbed it quickly and set it up, pulling the trigger to match the aiming to the torso part of the white fuselage.

It was a shooting by AF objective guns from close range, but still did not lead to the destruction of the fuselage. But the blow kept pushing him hard, and the white fuselage blew all the way from the roof of the transport vehicle to the wilderness.

'Can't you take it down now!?

For the surprise Akira, Alpha laughs and puts in a supplement.

'Cause you shot a lot wider in the range of effects, giving priority to peeling from the vehicle than destroying the target. Of course. "

Why are you imitating that?

'Cause I don't know how far to destroy a target when a monster in the airspace issues a decision to destroy it. So I'll leave you to it. "

A white fuselage blown into the wilderness with a lost leg tries to return to the vehicle with a propulsion device in the torso area. But before that, he was killed by a black disc, cut in pieces, and splashed in the wilderness. Akira is also convinced by the sight.

"Sure, it's a hassle to destroy one over here and over there."

"Additionally, the target leg was severed first because otherwise it would be difficult to remove it from the vehicle due to the grounding maintenance function of the leg. Come on, let's hurry. If we don't hurry, we'll destroy the convoy first. '

The motorcycle moves away from the scene with Alpha maneuvering. Shortly afterwards, a black disc slaying to his next attack target ran through the scene as he tore the roof apart. Seeing the deep scars left on the roof, Akira accidentally causes her face to cramp (one).

"Aren't the vehicles and us targeted by the monsters?

"No, judging by the attack pattern, the only targets the monsters are those white aircraft."

"Because of that black disc, the transport vehicle seems to be cruel, and if I hadn't escaped earlier, I'd be dead, right?

"Akira. Do you really think that monsters will care about things (on purpose) so that they don't involve anything other than their goals?

Yuyo (more) also

Akira rushes to her next goal. Return the two-handed gear to the LEO compound gun and bike over the roof. The roof surface appears to be cruel (dull) with traces of black discs passing through it, but it is accelerating there using Alpha driving techniques and the ability of motorcycles to drive through the air.

'So, if you do something about those white people-shaped weapons guys, you can really handle the monster up there, that maybe mechanical stupid big one, huh?

"Perhaps that defensive type was attacked by a white people-type weapon in airspace, so we're just intercepting it. So you should leave when you're done destroying them. Maybe."

"Maybe!? Maybe!?

Alpha returns a slightly more serious face to Akira, who shows suspicion in a mild panic.

"I don't know the other person's clear logic either. I can't guarantee anything. Because it's over there, not me, that makes the return decision. When you're done eliminating the white fuselage, there's a good chance you'll return. I can't guarantee anything more."

'Right. Then we'll have to do what we can. "

Akira regains her temper and tightens her expression. Add a little while Alpha is satisfied with how it is doing.

"If you're unhappy that what you're reading can only be done indirectly, you have the option of going up to the top monster on this motorcycle, breaking into the interior through the vent of a disc-shaped attack terminal, and aiming to destroy it with an attack from the inside, but survival is hopeless, right? Better that way?

'I don't like it!

Akira answered that she really didn't like it and only increased her willingness to eliminate large white machines for that matter. Alpha was satisfied.

Accelerate the bike while scratching the enemy's barrage for the next goal. And with the simultaneous shooting of four (1) LEO compound guns, this time destroying the arms of a large aircraft. Multiply the gap (suki) of the opponent, which has also made it difficult to set up a giant firearm for large machines, to generate a blade of liquid metal again while getting closer. It accelerated further as it was, placing the blade more than twice as long with both hands on the upper stage, swinging it down at once as it passed through the other's crotch.

A huge blade that emits light breaks down its body for only a moment, then stretches it further, cutting off the enemy's fuselage. After Akira ran through the scene, a body split from left to right rolled over the roof.

"Alpha. Is it good that the one you just did not come from your leg?

"Based on the collapse of the leg, we determined that the amount of energy remaining to be allocated to the grounding function was decreasing. From there...... '

'Oh, yeah. I was just wondering, so I figured it would be nice to talk more about it'

"Really?"

A black disc arrives on the torn fuselage and breaks it down with a fast rotating blade in mind. Akira looks surprised when she sees the sight.

"Wouldn't that be a decisive decision to destroy? That's very thoughtful. '

"Perhaps more emphasis is placed on damage caused by self-propelled attacks than on damaged conditions."

Are you saying you can't be satisfied without stabbing yourself?

"The criteria for judging that area will have the characteristics of the manufacturer."

While maintaining focus on combat, Akira unconsciously adjusts the distribution of tension and relaxation to prolong the battle duration (to prevent weariness).

In the meantime, rays fell from the ceiling on a large aircraft that was on the roof of a different vehicle from the one in which Akira was located. A white fuselage wipes out about 60% of its volume and devastates it with one blow. There's a big hole in the vehicle that got caught up in it. The rays penetrated the roof of the body, which was protected by a robust force field armor, causing a lot of damage inside as well.

Akira cramps her face and looks up overhead unexpectedly. At the end of that gaze, a spherical floating turret was floating on the side of the ceiling (buckwheat).

'... really, you better hurry. Take it easy, and stop attacking the white fuselage from the bottom, as you did earlier. I'm sorry we got involved and evaporated together.'

"Shall I?"

Akira returned her two-handed weapon to the LEO compound gun again.

Situation reports and instructions like anger were flying in the command room of the transport vehicle.

"Car four is a wreck! It's self-immobilizing!

"Use the cargo arm to tow and evacuate the crew and supplies! After the work is done, in some circumstances, throw away Car 4! Raise the Force Field Armor output of all vehicles to the maximum! Forget about the reduced vehicle speed and armor maintenance time caused by it! At the speed of the vehicle, we can't let them rip off! There's no point without armor or! The energy level of the vehicle is all about cutting through now!

"Turret Six is devastated! Nos. 8 and 9 are also damaged!

"All turrets cease use when the aiming system is affected! Never shoot up there! When the big fat ass up there recognizes you're in the way, he's gonna blow every vehicle away! What about the activation code for the man-made weapon in the cargo!

"I'm requesting it, but not yet!

The commander's man distorts his face.

"Fuck. Which one? Is it just taking a while because I'm doing it from generation of authentication code, or are you reluctant to send it out over this period... Just make him hurry!

The cargo department is loaded with numerous man-made weapons. However, most of them are commodities and cannot be moved under the authority of the security side. A man could not hide his frustration that things that would definitely help to resolve the situation quickly could not be used because of cluttered procedures.

Shiloh and the others stood in the cargo department. My escort Harmers is holding her head lightly.

"Shiloh. Are you sure you want to do this? Although it's an emergency, it's a job before the pillage."

Shiloh is laughing well.

"You have no choice, do you? It's an emergency."

"If we forgive everything on the grounds of an emergency, order will collapse from the ground up. It's an emergency, so we need an order that doesn't plunder."

To the novel, Shiloh gave back a meaningful bitterness. Harmers' frustration increases.

"What?"

"No, in the East, where there's an eternal emergency, I don't know what to say or do. You're also taking supplies from the ruins on your own, because of an emergency as a Unified Enterprise Company. Because of that, the mentality from the governing personality sucks, doesn't it?

"Institutional criticism at a time like this?

"No, no, it's outrageous. I think that's how much I need to survive in the east, full of monsters, too? He said he had no choice. Compared to that, I don't think it's a big deal to make (tease) a bit of downhill heavy industry distribution products at first. That's all. We'll just have to work on adjusting the area internally later."

Harmers exhales again. I know it's a trick, but given the urgency of the situation, I can understand it.

"Oh, for once, if you're going to jump out now and kick some of the guys out there, I'm not going to imitate you like this, am I?

"... ok. Do it."

"Okay, I got your permission."

When Shiloh laughed with pleasure, he fully demonstrated his power.

For a few moments, nothing happens. At least it doesn't make any difference to the amateur. However, there have been many changes to the surrounding information security systems. The result then appears in a form that can be seen.

Goods in the hangar, human-type weapons that should not have been activated without rigorous authentication processing, began to activate one after the other. The containment containers nearby, each armed, also begin to open on its own. When the man-made weapons finish armed with them, they move forward in front of the door that leaves the vehicle. And the door that wouldn't open without security clearance began to open.

The command room that detected the freight department's anomaly sounded. Communication enters from Harmers before the commander's man gives that response instruction.

"It's Harmers from the downhill Heavy Industries Security Department. Deal with freight department anomalies here. Understand."

When the commander's man looked at the situation to some extent, he held his head gently and looked (but) at his face, but the complaint swallowed.

"... no, this is this emergency. Thank you for your cooperation."

"I'm sorry. Ask them to send a small complaint from above to below the hill later. Even if you personally complained to me from there, I can't handle it either. Bye."

I'm out of communication with Harmers. Shiloh and the others' work touches upon the security provisions of the transport vehicle by mountains, but the commander's man decided to push all the responsibilities up in the name of the work of downhill heavy industry, and decided to be flexible as a site.

Harmers turned his gaze to those who felt sympathy and sorry for the commander's man as one who was bound by each other's affiliation and discipline, but were irresistible in dealing with those disciplines, etc. in a bad way. And then I see the ability to be allowed that flexible response again, and it comes to me with complicated thoughts.

(... good arm as ever. The same is true of the authentication function of the human-type weapon that will be shipped to the front line and not to this guy)

Shiloh is an old realm connector belonging to downhill heavy industry. He received highly specialized training from downhill heavy industry and was extremely long in information processing, including various types of work.

There are many parts of information security in the east that use the old world technology as their backbone technology in a state where there are many things unknown as impenetrable in current technology, and there are many parts that only maintain a sufficiently low level of safety if one can connect to the old area. In that environment, even if the authentication that relies on the old area for safety is extremely robust by current standards, in many cases it was close to bare streets, which cannot be called authentication functions, for those who can normally connect to the old area.

On top of that, Shiloh had information security training based on information collected by downhill heavy industry from sites around the country. He's an important figure who doesn't want to take a step out of a dedicated facility for downhill heavy industry. This outing was special.

Transfer your gaze to the man-made weapon that Harmers will be marching out as a drone.

"... an automated combat system in its early state can only work with fewer recruits?

"That means that even if the passengers were as amateur as they were, let them say things to the performance of the fuselage and work hard. Well, these guys are also more desirable to scatter flashly than to be smashed into every vehicle in less than Kamako's condition and become iron scraps without a place to be active. Don't you think?

"I don't know. I'm going back to my room."

"Heh."

Shiloh and the others are going back to their rooms. On his return, Shiloh glanced at the flying fuselage and hoped that this preparation would help.

The vicinity of the train was in a great mix-up. The turret on the roof of a transport vehicle destroys a large white aircraft with the power to repel even nested giant bugs. Its turret is destroyed with a degree of feeling of obstruction of passage to the black disc machine. The hunters struggle to destroy the larger aircraft, and the larger aircraft respond. From the ceiling, light falls regularly, destroying large aircraft and causing damage to transport vehicles.

A large number of drones activated by Shiloh are added to it. The drones have judged the extent to which they do not attack vehicles, overhead and hunters, but they cannot even distinguish between attacks on white fuselage and black disc planes, and they are attacking both. Black disc drones are also seen as disturbing and attacked.

Around the train line are rough fires and barrages, and their shooting and shelling continues to sound. And if you make that much noise, naturally you also call the monsters around you. Preliminary interruptions are insufficient due to the abrupt (cucumber) change in the movement route of the vehicle train, and the scale of the noise is also due to the cause of flying out, and a large number of people gather in the herd.

Still, with the original security system, an extra herd of monsters is large enough to repel without any problems. However, in addition to various occasions, the speed of the vehicle is considerably slower due to the fact that most of the energy of the vehicle is being turned to the force field armor of the vehicle body. As a result, monsters that could normally shake off at the speed of the vehicle were also close to the train.

A giant wolf approaching a vehicle scratching a barrage is dropped on a black disc machine. A flock of octopus shells the lane and the ceiling that floats on it, and is squandered by the rays emitted from a spherical floating turret flying near the ceiling. A relatively small monster tries to climb onto the body of a vehicle from the ground and is shot down by hunters and drones on the roof and elsewhere.

In the midst of those intense riots, so far, transport vehicles have maintained adequate defense thanks to the increased output of Force Field Armor to the limit, and have successfully bought time (for) to shoot down a large white aircraft. However, as a result, the force field armor Forcefield Armor became an information blocker, which had a negative effect on communication outside and inside the vehicle. The command room was aware of that, but continued to maintain the output with priority given to the protection of the body of the vehicle.
