Rebuild World

After communication with Akira was cut off due to a communication failure caused by the force field armor Force Field Armor of the transport vehicle, Hikaru exhaled lightly after completing the automatic setting of periodic communication confirmation.

"... at all, what is it? I've been hit by giant bugs on the way, so you've had enough of this fancy noise, haven't you? Again?

There is a risk of communication failure as enemy attacks raise the output of Forcefield Armor, the force field armor of the transport vehicle. The last communication with the security side was interrupted with that simple communication.

Still, Hikaru was optimistic about the situation. Because we know Akira's strength in the recent combat record and we hear that the security of transport vehicles has also increased significantly. Stay in your room and wait to clean things up.

After a short while, the room intercom told the visitor. I try to get out via the information terminal, but I don't want to connect. I have no choice but to try to respond from the terminal in front of the door. First, the terminal was operated and displayed to transmit the sight on the aisle side to the display surface on the room side of the door. Three guard-style men stood in front of the door.

"Which one is it?

A representative man answers with a serious face.

"I'm an inside guard. Evacuation of the crew is carried out on instructions from the command room. I need your help."

"... Evacuation, huh? Is this such a creepy (first) situation?

Hikaru was unwittingly loud. Answer calmly, but with a slightly more serious face, as the man calms Hikaru.

"Unfortunately, Car 4 fell into a state of self-immolation as a result of an attack by a monster in the upper realm. We are currently in the process of directing the evacuation of the crew. We also ask other vehicles to evacuate to a safe vehicle just in case."

Hikaru tries to open the door in surprise at the excess. But just before my hand touched the operating panel, I stopped the hand. And he looks surprised.

(... monsters in the airspace?

A slightly floating unpleasant feeling. From there, we deepen our reasoning. Car 4 was badly damaged in an attack by a monster in the airspace. He hastily raised the output of Forcefield Armor, a force field armor for all vehicles. Evacuation of the crew will also proceed. Tsujitsu fits.

However, there was no mention of a monster in the airspace in the communication from the security side. In other words, the security side decided not to tell them about it. There is a risk of panic in the rest of the matter if poorly taught. It is assumed that that was the case. Then why did those beyond the door teach themselves it? Because it's a loose thing that you don't answer unless you're asked about information limitations? Or is it just a mess? Or (one) yes, another factor?

"I'm sorry. Could you hurry up? I'll show you where to evacuate."

In response to that urging, Hikaru gets slightly lost. And gently sickle.

"I'm sorry. I don't know what it is, but the panel's not responding. Can you open it from that side? If that were the case, they'd be distributing about a master key for rescue, wouldn't they?

I bow my head like a man is sorry.

"I'm sorry. Even in this situation, if you open the staff room in another city with a master key, it will be a problem later. Also, it's an exhaust-type key code, so you want to keep it as much as you can for other passengers. Can you handle it from there?

"I'm doing it, but I can't.... I have no choice. My guide is behind you."

"But then you..."

"It's fine. As an official of the city, I am prepared to go out into the wilderness. Prioritize evacuation of other passengers. Oh, just tell me where the evacuation is. I'll go myself if I manage to open it. Where am I supposed to move?

"The place of evacuation is subject to change depending on the circumstances. Also, the security in the car has been changed to something of an emergency, so you can't cross the bulkhead without accompanying us"

The tone of the man changes slightly.

"... sorry. I'm really in a hurry. You sure you don't want to open it?

Talking to Hikaru is a man named Elde, the leader of those on the aisle. The slight frustration and impatience in Elde's face is not nearly as unnatural as it is for the guards to target those who are reluctant to evacuate.

Hikaru gets lost watching how that Elde is. But don't touch the panel.

"I'm doing it. Oh, maybe if you don't take me, you can't close the bulkhead, or something like that?

"Oh. Sealing the inner bulkhead in case it breaks through the force field armor on the outside of the vehicle will make it difficult for me to open and close it in the long run. It's hard to evacuate later."

"Oh yeah!? Wait! I'll open it in a minute!... not open!? What's going on? Hey, I can't even get you to try using the master key from over there!? It won't open!

Hikaru hasn't touched the panel. I thought I was going too far myself, but a strange heartbreak told me to wait. Still, I was going to open the door as soon as Elde and the others tried to get away from it.

The quality of Erde's already harsh expression changes slightly.

"... are you sure you won't open it?

"I'm trying to open it! I'm doing it!?

Hearing Hikaru's voice as if he were in a hurry, Erde turned his face into something cruel and cold for only a few moments. And suddenly laugh invincibly somewhere.

"Okay. You can open it here with the master key"

And erase the grin from your face.

"Stay away from the door because it's dangerous"

When Elde flies the instructions with his gaze, his men start working. Hikaru, who watched it with a surprising face, made his face cramp. A side of the door, like the one showing transmission through the aisle side, opposite it, was fitted with something like explosive.

Elde and the others walk out the door. Hikaru also rushed away from the door. And the bomb installed detonated.

Blasts and explosions rush through the aisle. After it fits, Elde returns to check the condition of the door. And I smiled at him. The door was very sturdy and almost intact.

"... next time!

Elde's men will install the bomb again. Elde conceives behind it.

(... suspected since the beginning?... No, it's not. I didn't have a problem at first. So, which word or deed did you suspect?... I don't know. I guess I made some kind of mistake. Well, there's no choice. Let's just say I hear that in person)

Elde shouts out at the inside of the room.

"If you don't want to die, stay away from me properly!

The bomb is set up again and explodes. Erde returns after the explosion to check the condition of the door. The door was only slightly distorted.

"... Next!

A third bombing operation was carried out. Door distortion (boiling) slightly increased.

Hikaru was in a mild mess. I've got a bad feeling about it, but the situation is far too puzzling.

Those dressed as vehicle guards are trying to destroy the door using explosives. It is a clear hostility to the downhill heavy industry, which manages the order, extension and distribution of all the cities in the transport section, in a vehicle with a policing system equivalent to that of the city's median compartment. It's a felony that turns the Unified Enterprise Company itself against the enemy if you do it badly.

Those who flatten out what has become so great are targeting themselves as just local city officials. Hikaru had no idea what the intention was.

In a hurry, he tries to communicate with the guard to tell them about the anomaly. But I can't connect. Attempt to communicate with Akira. But I can't even connect with you. The results were the same even when the communication output was raised to its limit. Scream unexpectedly.

"What's going on!?

The explosion sounds like scratching (or) turning off the scream, and the room shakes. Check the door as Hikaru wanders. The door was doing its part well. The slight relief (mostly) born with this is quickly erased by the idea that it is only a matter of time.

Hikaru managed to get in touch with Hikaru as he cramped his face and began to fully note his talent and look for ways to bypass communications.

On the aisle side, Erde looked at only a slightly deformed door and glanced at his face.

(... That's pretty sturdy. Quarantine room?)

Several very sturdy rooms, called isolation rooms, are available for transport vehicles. It has a structure that cannot be frightened if it is not too powerful to attack from inside or outside the room. It sounds good when it comes to being very safe, but the point is that no matter how rampant it is on the inside, it has no effect on the outside, and it is also used to transport dangerous people in terms of force, such as the escort of vicious prisoners. They push dangerous meta-humans and others into quarantine. Because of its strong negative impression, the quarantine room is unpopular despite the fact that many interiors are as luxurious as they are used to move dignitaries. It was empty even just before we left.

Akira's room was that quarantine room. This is really only because Hikaru plugged Akira into the security of the transport vehicle. I didn't tell Akira because I thought she'd be okay if I kept my mouth shut. After hearing Akira from Kibayashi, it was also a factor that did not withdraw Akira's request for transport vehicle security, thinking that in the worst case scenario, the damage would be contained if it was confined to the quarantine room.

That's Hikaru's personal circumstance. But Elde interprets it differently.

(Did you turn the escort personnel outside because, with the Quarantine Chamber defense, you decided it was better to prioritize the elimination of external enemies? I'm pretending to be a hunter and its operators. Maybe he thought he'd suspect the other way around if he didn't. I mean, this one hit?

A deeply read Elde tightens her expression.

"Next! More power is better! Keep going!"

"If you do poorly, it can damage the indoors and the vehicle itself,"

"I don't mind! Do it!"

My men followed Erde's unmistakable instructions and began to further increase the amount of explosives to be installed at the door.

The explosion is repeated afterwards. An explosion that gets bigger and bigger shakes the room louder. The vehicle rocked, too, but that mixed with the aftermath of the battle outside the vehicle. Hikaru, who felt a great shake, fills that look with surprise and haste. Even though the doors are heavily distorted (boiled), they still continue to serve as compartments inside and outside the room. However, a slight blast had entered the room from a subtle gap, causing a gust of wind.

"Hey!? This is Quarantine!? Even the executives of Sakashita Heavy Industries are not attacking us, and that's it!?

"Next! Hurry!"

A voice on the side of the aisle arrived indoors from the gap. Hikaru starts to panic even more when he hears that. But I notice at the same time. The opponent is in a hurry. I mean, there's a time limit. That is probably also why the security side is unable to grasp this situation. Buying time could make things better. Hikaru, who so decides, looks over the room and thinks of the means to buy time. After trying every small piece of work he could within the short time limit, he himself dived into a place that seemed difficult to spot. Continue the trial and error of comm recovery while hiding as it is.

The door was then destroyed. Hikaru freezes when he finds out about it by the sound of it echoing indoors. At that time, communication with Akira was restored.

"I want to connect! Akira! Help!

That was almost at the same time as Elde and the others poured into the room.

Akira hurried back into the car when Hikaru asked her for help. As you head through the roof to your own vehicle, stop the bike at the entrance/exit area on the roof side and step into the vehicle from there. I don't hesitate to put up a gun and get in carefully because I know the inside of the car is an anomaly. Then, as he proceeded to the passage section, his face was slightly skewed (boiled) by surprise. The passage was slightly distorted.

"Alpha. Is this a colorless fog?

Alpha also has a slightly harsh look on her face.

"No, it's a high concentration of dilated particulate gases mimicking colorless fog."

"What Expanded Particle Gas?

"It's a particulate gas with properties that expand the physical properties in the air. Now you just have to think of it as a colorless mist. The nature of the jamming smoke screen (jamming smoke) also seems to exist. Communication problems are also occurring. Looks like this is what was jamming communications with Hikaru. It's probably sprayed all over this vehicle. '

Akira increases her vigilance. But I'm not turning back. Take confirmation on the premise of pushing forward.

"Don't you dare, should I think of it as like going through a high concentration of colorless mist?

'Let's move on with that recognition first. If you need anything, I'll support you every time.'

Copy that.

Akira rushes down the aisle. Running quickly in fortified clothing feels wind pressure going through the strong wind at that speed. I'm already used to that in itself. But now the air felt a little heavy. It feels like it weakened the resistance I felt when I moved my hands and feet in the water. But not enough to interfere with the movement. Keep rushing to the room.

I see traces of an explosion at the end of the aisle. Elde and the others opened the door to the quarantine room. Even the slight impact that leaked from the directional explosion had left significant cracks in the surrounding floors, walls and ceilings, indicating the ruggedness of the isolation chamber. Akira looks at it and distorts her face.

"There seems to be a security system equivalent to the city's median zoning in the vehicle, but the median zoning was also an out-of-the-box noise? Is it too late? '

Contact from Hikaru is discontinued. The communication itself is connected, but there has been no response to the call. Akira doesn't know if this is a situation where she can't even speak out, or if the last of the raiders who came out to explain the situation may have taken her away, or (some of them) killed her.

"Let's check indoors first"

"Right."

Trying to rush straight to the room, two men jumped out of the inside of the destroyed door at the end of the aisle. And they come straight down the aisle.

Akira looks surprised when she sees it. The passage is quite wide thanks to the immensity of the transport vehicle. But still, it's not big enough to avoid a barrage from a distance. The men are completely targeted, both holding knives in their hands. I'm trying to run well in that state and pack the distance.

Akira is slightly puzzled, but decides that the enemy is imminent and shoots without hesitation. They fired a double-handed LEO compound gun in a series to erase evasive space from the aisle. Tons of bullets were barrage and filled the aisle, hitting the men's entire bodies directly, it should have been.

At the next moment, Akira solidified only for a moment in amazement. The large quantities of bullets fired were not long enough to reach even the men. When the bullet flew only a few meters in a straight line while leaving ballistics in the universe that could be visually confirmed as air distortion (boiling), it created a small shockwave trail in the universe that pierced the invisible wall, dramatically slowing it down and falling to the floor. Some of them collided with subsequent bullets and scattered across the aisle.

Alpha, who decided it was no use shooting, forcefully stops shooting via the manipulation of fortified clothing. So Akira also recovers from the confusion, although in an inexplicable situation.

"Alpha! How was that thing prevented!?

"That's after! Coming! '

The men were packing their distance at once with remarkable physical abilities. Still, it's still a long way to Akira. At least not in between close combat with a knife. But the man on the right waves a knife with both hands wide. And Akira also sees its preliminary motion and the luminescence of the knife, and assumes that the attack will reach her position, taking quick evasive action. The next moment, the light blade of the cross ran past Akira's side.

Akira was simultaneously carrying out a compression of physical sensory time and conscious reality resolution manipulation at the same time as the initiation of evasive behavior. In a world as clear as another world, he lowers himself and slashes his enemies flying, accelerating forward and packing his time. And looking at the man on the left's preliminary attack motion, he fired a gun of both hands at you in a row.

The bullet didn't even reach the man again. However, a barrage of bullets fired at high speeds became a massive obstacle between a man and Akira in the meantime between the rapid loss of momentum and the fall. The flying slash unleashed by the man on the left used up most of his cutting power to cleave those obstacles.

Waves of light weakened to such an extent that they could not be called light blades, Akira almost inevitably forcefully broke through while preventing them with Forcefield Armor, a force field armor of fortified clothing. The light that hits my body splashes away and disappears.

Run like a bullet with the physical abilities of the fortified clothes, and carry forward the barrage you shot yourself with your own body. And finish packing your terms with them. When the bullet contained the enemy inside a distance that significantly slowed him down, he fired the bullet in a row as he poked his gun through the target with his barrel.

The men dodge it in a crafty move. It's already in front of the fight. Bullets don't turn into barrages. There is no longer a need to make a large attack on the surface, and the difficulty of avoiding it has decreased rather than shooting from a distance. In addition, they attack in tandem to disfigure Akira. He stretches the blade of the knife beyond what can be called a knife, and with a sword technique that combines the intermission of the long sword with the maneuverability of the knife, he carries out the slaughter with precision and speed.

One man attracts Akira's attack and the other kicks the wall and ceiling around behind Akira. And hang Akira in pieces from both sides. The emission of the blade of the knife becomes a belt in the orbit of slaughter, running endlessly through the space.

Akira points a gun at each of her hands as she dodges them. We don't have time to put our enemies in sight anymore. But recognize the enemy exactly as far as the movement of his arms swinging in that position, combining dodge and attack in a quick move. He wields his left and right guns precisely and continues to attack the expansion magazine with a line, not a dot, with a live (y) shot.

We haven't all limited the scaffolding to the floor yet. Running through walls, floors and ceilings (to avoid and attack), repeated sudden stops and rapid accelerations due to recoil kicking the scaffold, ignoring the heavens and the earth and jumping around the aisle. Bullets and blades have been worn, carved, and destroyed as long as possible. And the endurance of the scaffolding also began to reach its limits.

If one hand is late, he dies. One wrong hand and you die. Everything but the best of hands is a deadly bad hand. Akira endured it while grinding and crushing her body and mind. High-performance healing pills that have been taken to their limits beforehand are preventing them from forcefully and rapidly recovering a body that is always beyond its limits and turning the inside of the fortified clothing into bone-mixed ground (hiccup) meat. I can't afford to worry about the burden on the inside. If we don't keep turning that margin on the enemy's prompt destruction, it will carve every outer fortified garment.

Its fortified clothing also continues to consume a rapid and massive amount of energy. If it doesn't run at full output, it won't chase you to enemy movements. The time remaining until the energy runs out is drastically reduced. So hurry, disturb the movement, and you die.

Dive hundreds of dead lines in just a few seconds. Minutes after collecting those seconds, Akira ran through with all her dying power.

And the next one who gets it wrong comes out. The aisle is worn out in the aftermath of the battle. Both Akira and the men are careful not to fall apart by stepping on their brittle parts. Or (there is) a force field armor on the back of the foot to reinforce it so that there is no problem stepping on it. Still, there are limitations, and there are many opportunities to limit where you can choose as your next scaffold (to avoid it). And one of the men made a mistake choosing the next scaffold.

The errors were inherently only marginally influential. But the error was rewritten by Alpha into the wicked hand of fate. Alpha had recorded the behavior of everyone running around the aisle with an impact, giving an accurate picture of the state of damage in each location of the aisle. As a result, he knew beforehand that if he stepped on the spot, he would be slightly disfigured. Based on that prior information, Akira was instructed to strike the target with a slight gap (sukiri) before the target was born due to a slight dislocation.

The position of the man who stepped on the loose scaffold collapses slightly. The moment the gap occurred, Akira's painful kick pierced the man. It was a blow that struck a moment when he was unable to take immediate evasive action due to a disturbance in his posture. The man was slapped on the wall without a kick. A large crack runs radially on the wall.

Still, the man did not suffer one scratch thanks to the fortified clothing defensive performance. But so the man packed. Akira follows the man and flies to the wall, pushing a gun muzzle with both hands against the man's head and torso. At the same time, they fired continuously at the highest speed. The bullet that was shot out hit the target directly without any attenuation or anything, crushing the man's head and torso.

The rest of the man slashes Akira in the gap. But the attack is only slightly delayed for those who didn't know it would happen beforehand. And Akira, who knew beforehand, was taking evasive action as quickly as possible for that matter. Quickly dodge the cross slaughter. Akira dives into the opponent's pocket while the light blade cleaves the passage wall to a cross. Now it wasn't a shooting with the opponent pressed against the wall, but it was a shooting that kept each other on a 2-on-1 basis, and it was easy (yawning) to push the next shooting into a state where it wasn't physically avoidable.

It was only after piercing the head and body of the rest of the man that bullets fired continuously from two (today) LEO compound guns slowed down as they pierced an invisible wall. The man was blown away by the impact of the landing as it was and flew off the aisle halfway through his body.

Akira still has a very harsh look on her face. When you release your hand from the gun so that it is placed in the universe, take out and take additional restorative medication with your right hand and replace the augmented energy tank of your fortified clothes with your left hand. In the meantime, an expanded magazine is ejected from the gun that remains in the universe. Akira's hands grab a spare expansion magazine and place it in Misa. Then each hand grabbed the gun and waved it vigorously to hit the expanded magazine in the air to finish loading it, pointing the muzzle towards the door of the room at the end of the aisle.

If enemy reinforcements had come in the meantime, Akira would have died if they had been attacked before completing the battle continuity process. But fortunately, no reinforcements showed up. Akira exhales unexpectedly.

'... it was dangerous! Alpha. Is the enemy all of them now?

'I don't know. The jamming effect of gathering information around the area is so strong that I can't find it in the other room. Be careful.'

Copy that.

Turn to the man Akira knocked down his gaze on.

'... those are the ones these guys were talking about Hikaru? Why is Hikaru being attacked like this? That was worse than the big white plane we fought outside, huh?

'Let's ask Hikaru that. Unless he's been killed or grabbed. But before you do, if you're not going to turn back, take a 30-second break here. At least that's all Akira has to rest. If you want to rest, take more extra recovery pills.'

Akira takes even more healing pills with only one gun away. The expression is quite spicy and distorted.

'... my head hurts. The one with a clear view of the world, don't do it twice a day.'

'If you want to move on, be prepared for the third time. Seriously, retreat is part of the choice, right?

'That too, kind of. If you're obviously out of control, then you have no choice but to go home. How are you doing with Alpha?

'No'

"Well, that's what I'm talking about."

Akira smiled bitterly and began to breathe. Alpha was smiling bitterly, too.

Repeat your deep breath with vigilance forward. Ease unnecessary tension to promote physical and psychological recovery. In the meantime, let me ask you something that concerns you.

"So, how were they preventing bullets? That's not Force Field Armor or or anything.

'That's a fast filter effect. The Sprayed Expansion Particle Gas. "

There are numerous by-products born from the analysis of colorless fog. Among them are expanding particles that react against moving objects of a constant or higher velocity and have a physical action that creates a proportional resistance to the velocity. Gases were developed that used their properties to prevent bullets, etc. They are mainly used in applications such as sniper protection for dignitaries. It should be noted that a constant concentration is required to activate the effect and can only be used in confined spaces such as basically indoors.

Akira makes me wonder when I hear those explanations.

'Doesn't that stop the bullet the minute you shoot it?

"It's hard to make it that high, so I guess you're adjusting a lot of viscosity and stuff so that the straight forward bullet compresses the air so that the air in front of the ray has a high concentration that meets the conditions."

"But he flew like a blade of light with a knife over there, didn't he?

"It's a wave of light with cutting power, not an object. Not even as fast as a bullet before that, right?

"... are you only becoming more convenient over there"

'It should be over there that I sprayed this. Naturally, it must have been adjusted to our advantage alone.'

The gases in this hand gradually become less effective even when used in confined spaces, and in a relatively short amount of time the effect completely expires. Moreover, it is basically not cost-effective in terms of the significant costs involved in its use, and is not profitable in a way that is simply intended to disable enemy guns.

Still, the raiders often dare to (ah) use this hand thing for the purpose of securing (to) rather than killing the enemy. To reduce the risk of accidental shooting of important people. At the same time, the guns of the escorts can be rendered powerless, so most of them will be raiders by skilled melee fighters.

With only a limited number of skilled melee fighters in the basic east, it's also hard to get a full range of assault personnel. Therefore, the goal will be commensurate with the cost and effort. They are mainly executives of large companies and leading researchers.

Akira looks surprised when she hears those explanations.

"Why is Hikaru being attacked by those guys? Was Hikaru such an amazing, high-ranking man?

'Come on, I don't know either. If Hikaru hasn't been captured yet, we'll ask him later. Akira, it's time for the break to end. If you want to turn back, now is the time?

To Alpha, who smiles (cheeks) provocatively, Akira laughs and returns. And when I tightened my expression, I rushed towards the room of interest.
