The Little Prince in the Ossuary

# Suspension (1)

“Major, there are white nobles coming. ”

The voice of fatigue. Morales was looking at the east sky through a telescope.

The winter, when he was pondering about the changes in the starlight child, returned to the midwinter major and looked in the same direction. A small black dot approaches from beyond the cloud stabbed by a Sequoia branch. There's no sound yet. It was a unique aircraft (V22) with large propellers, one on each side of its short wings. In the morning, the sunny duralumin fuse shimmers in silver. An armed helicopter is following the escort.

The white noble meant officers of the health care unit. I'm a decorated soldier, but I'm far from dangerous and busy fighting to make soldiers do all kinds of annoying things.

[David, David. Prisoner Hospitality Niner. I need you to confirm the landing zone.]

Schultz blows smoke. Winter is communicating.

“From David Actual to Hospital Niner. Green smoke identified? ”

[Identified.]

“The landing site is clear. You can come down.”

As the distance approaches, the transport stands vertically on the propeller that was lying down. It was a gas that combined the advantages of a typical aircraft and helicopter. Long drag and no need for a runway.

The strong wind scatters smoke. Two coyotes, who were peering back and forth among the bushes and looking at the opportunity to eat the corpse, marched in amazement. Rescued stragglers stood up last night and took awkward precautions. Recently unpacked, their guns still run out of lubricant.

As you push off the humid wind, the aircraft lands and opens the rear ramp door. The interior of the cargo compartment with the white light was reminiscent of a small laboratory. Freezing chamber for sample preservation, shelving at all times level, multiple experimental equipment of unknown use, etc. There was everything in the confined space.

‘You've improved more than ever. ’

It was a positive change. There was nothing special about the helicopter from the health care unit I had seen in Ataskadero. The Trickster cadaver samples we collected were placed in a transparent bag and secured to the bottom of the cargo hold.

Through the open door, men dressed in biochemical protective clothing descend. It reminds me of the medical staff in the infectious area. The manpower laughs at its magnificence. Daxhund wags his tail at strangers. Schultz complained that he was a dog without a zipper.

The prowling leader finds winter soon. Step forward and reach out your gloved hand.

“It's an honor to meet you, Major Han. Major Elijah Campbell. Please call me Dr. Campbell. ”

Spoken like a soldier and a civilian. There may be a personal difference in the sense of belonging, but this person must be regarded as a researcher in the military. The same was true of the other members that Campbell introduced.

“You've already been contacted, but we're here to get a specimen for the study of acidic varieties. The battle logs show a slight difference from the individuals identified on the west coast of the Pacific. ”

Winter gazes at the crates that were unloaded by the other crew.

“Let's see what you've brought me first. ”

At first, I thought I was going to scratch the soil that was bursting, but then I realized I wanted the mutant itself. It's a baby monster that explodes when it dies, so it wouldn't have come unprepared.

Campbell nods.

“I was going to need your opinion. I brought some capture gear, but someone who's actually been engaged should be able to figure out what's going to be useful. ”

Then he opens the weapons chest he brought. The first thing you take out is a grenade launcher. A weapon whose firing control computer measures the distance from the target and inputs its value into ammunition. Ammo explodes in mid-air to maximize killing power. The diameter of the gun was larger than winter knew. Looks like a prototype.

But there's more than just weapons, there's special ammunition. Dr. Campbell has released a grenade.

“First of all, this is a aerial bomb charged with quinuclidinyl benzylate. It's basically a sleep gas aerosol. It's got a little parachute built into it. LDC 50…… if hit with a person. Uh, it's a homicidal sheep with a mortality rate of 50 percent, but it's enough to put him to sleep for a while against a ghoul. ”

“That was pretty good from the start. ”

“Three rows of blue bands, liquid nitrogen aerosol, also aerosols. In fact, I was stuck in the corner of the warehouse because it was a failure, but this time the target volume was small, so I thought it would work. It causes compulsory metabolic inhibition when your temperature drops. She won't wake up until her temperature rises. ”

As he explained, it is difficult to suppress a variety no matter how effective a single dose of liquid nitride grenade is. It would have taken a lot of shooting for capture purposes.

There was also a Taser cartridge shot with a shotgun. Thirty-two consecutive rounds will be fired upon loading the automatic shots carried by the rangers.

There were other equipment, but Winter felt that sleeping gas grenades and Tasers were enough.

“But are you going to follow me? We haven't completely eradicated the entire forest yet. ”

Despite winter warning, Campbell asked for company.

“If you just send the non-experts, you might miss something. In a pre-deployment briefing, we received an assessment that variant threats in the area were very low. If you say no, I can't help but follow you. I just need one. ”

What should I do? Winter has slowly agreed, hesitating. They hated it, but decided it was an opportunity to ask them a few questions on the way.

‘Seems a little sloppy for someone who regularly meets confidentiality. ’

Even in the same major class, you would know more if you were in the health forces.

“I see. It's going to be a long walk. Schultz, get in the back. We share radio frequencies. ”

The corporal's face is even more distorted. Even the horse with a heavy back was one thing that kicked the ground. Campbell was not pleased with this defiance. You look familiar.

The maneuver moves, and the dog jumps. He either thought he was being abandoned again or he was just barking pitifully. One of the rescuers who was supposed to stay and guard the supplies and the transport grabbed the collar. He was a hard man, so it was a rather violent move. Shultz sighs, turning his head to the end.

The stench of the bomb shelter is rapidly poisoned as you cross the wall.

[This is……. It's incredible. It's like you're looking at hamburger hill. How did you kill all these people?]

Winter answers Campbell on the radio.

“It wasn't a hard fight after they lost track of their organization. We didn't have to go looking for each other. I came to die on my own when I heard the fight. There was enough ammunition to hold the net all morning. But there are still people hiding. ”

Never act like a firefly around a ghoul. The pity trap returns to failure, and at the time Trickster is slaughtered, he and all the surrounding hordes will be dead. Any intelligent individual who can see beyond the immediate survival or spread of infection may have already fled.

Alejandro intervenes.

“No matter how much you look like it, it's not hamburger hill. We didn't die. ”

I was proud of the accent.

On the battlefield, which was called hamburger hill, the U.S. military saw heavy damage. The Vietnam War was in many ways an American nightmare.

“Almost 10,000 kills here, I guess? Isn't that the medal of honor? ”

Harper greatly exaggerated his criminal record. In fact, the pile of bodies is about 800 or so.

However, there is a good chance that the number of Operation Preventive Scalping personnel will come down with something other than what is basically given to them. There was a fight in the forest, and there was a large group of mutants who led Hammer Paul to it.

“Any kind of medal would be nice. I'll raise my salary. It's useless. Shit.”

Morales' fresh grumbling.

“Look forward to it. If the situation improves, we may have a chance to use it soon. ”

Winter's match asks Campbell.

“Doctor, have you had any results back in the blood work? ”

[Blood test……? Oh, don't worry about it. Mogelons are bioweapons that are only infected by humans. No interspecies infections or carriers have been reported yet. So when rescued soldiers are hungry, there's no problem eating a few pigs.]

This was the first, relatively mild problem that winter was curious about.

[FOB (Outpost) Olema has already been notified, but you may not know it yet.]

“Yes, I've been out since May. ”

The troops have increased tremendously by now, but Campbell says there won't be any shortage of food for a while. This means that quick repairs can be done by reducing food transportation and increasing the transportation of other goods.

“But are you sure that Mogelons is a bioweapon? I thought that was hypothetical. Maybe some new evidence has been found.... ”

[Since the original site is a Chinese military ammunition base, what more proof do you need?]

“That's not clear information either. It's official for the government that China is also likely to be a victim. ”

[And of course, it's about saving refugees, especially the Chinese. Diseases like Mogelons can never, ever occur naturally. That sophistication is the very nature of human evil.]

Makes me more articulate I felt anger from the tremor.

[If it's a missile base in western China, it's Tibet, right? There's been a lot of massacres and a lot of disappearances. They probably did a lot of human experimentation. Or maybe the goal of the Mogellons is racial cleansing. Or maybe the armed guerrillas raided a Chinese military base and made this division...]

All speculations were baseless, but the hot tone reflected Campbell's conviction.

“Quiet.”

The formation is silenced by the hand gestures of winter. As the crew stepped over the perimeter, Campbell, who was abusing the Communists, also kept his mouth shut. I'm busy looking everywhere, but I think I'm getting shorter because I can't see anything.

The detected target was a large number of people crouching over a fallen tree. Most are covered, but I can see the shin. Alerts of sensory correction can be used to estimate the scale. The distance is about 70 meters. Due to many obstacles in the middle, it was difficult to find out if the location was known outside of winter.

And there are enemies on the coffin. He didn't come this way at dawn.

Winter lifts a grenade launcher loaded with sleeping gas. As soon as the crosshairs of the sight align with the trunk of the tree, the distance is marked and ready to fire.

Tutu Tutu!

Multiple targets. Five consecutive shots, judging by the wind. The balance of weight was sharply twisted as the magazine went into the cranium, but "Personalized Weaponry Skill" and "Neutral Weaponry Skill" maintained accurate aim and ballistics. followed by a small bang. Fuzzy fog spread over the water pipe.

The effect was clear. One of the infants plummeted and exploded. The rest seem to be stranded unconscious.

“Everyone wears body masks. Just in case.”

Soldiers who took the stimulant but fought through the night. Even the faint gas had concerns about falling asleep.

The ambushers are silent. Winter, when the weapon was replaced by a rifle, aimed at the exposed legs and crooked knees beneath the Sequoia stalk. Doo-doo, doo-doo! Two shots! Triggered and retracted, a series of broken bones and ruptured blood vessels and muscles.

The landscape is shaking. That many came out. Huff, the sound of a Health Guard officer panting. However, the mutant populations are fiercely distant. There was no one looking back this way. At first glance, it's over 50. A monstrosity of clear significance leads the monsters.

“... What are they? ”

Morales, the madman. Winter has fixed its aim silently. The one with the tone all by himself. Beta Ghoul. There is no chance of pulling the trigger in a barrel that lowers posture and shields common variants and terrain. In the end, the winter that gave up killed the other targets. A horse that lowers its gun after it has nothing to shoot.

“I can't keep up with the terrain. We collect acidic variants.”

Winter looked up at the high ground. How am I supposed to get that?

# Q&A

Q: Is there a base or survivor in @ China that could be a starting point?

A. You're interested in China. It's not an important setting... but there are some at the beginning because the ground is so wide. You can't get started without a distraction.

Q. UNLIMITED: This is a reminder that there is a wide gap between viewers outside the world and parties within the world. Whether or not you really treat your fictional personality... more than that, Operation AI is getting "humane" through winter. It seems like a warm experience for early developers:)

A. It's a sympathetic novel.:)

Q. @ LunarKarma: Having a baby prince with @ Trinity in the middle of winter... it didn't just mean that. The question is, can't the protagonist's skills create the same annotations as the previous blockade?

A. Mechanical blockade is an advanced technology in the survival family. Due to the inertia of skill acquisition due to talent gains, winter skills tend to bias towards battle.

Q. Gruvalt: @ (Strategy) I feel that seeing the Little Prince lately, but if there really is a follow-up insurance system like that, it would be so sad and hateful. I can't believe the death I'm supposed to have is entirely my own.

A. Not many people die accidentally in the world, unless it's an exception, like winter. but it does encourage the consumption of life in return for death.

Q. Karphis: It's winter, so I can't imagine it's because of lack of compassion. Is it because of Zakari's compassion?

A. I was going to put a hole in your readers' disguises by painting winter with compassion, but now that the plot has been revised, I don't have to imagine it.

Q. Nesstor: When I put Schrodinger on a crate in the middle of winter.....

A. In the box, instead of the mind, the cat...

Q. Gliese581: Is Corporal @ Morales the right name for Moral less? At first, I thought my real name would be Upham at the Charnel House, just the opposite. Heh heh heh./@ That's a world where even zombies beat up and watch for generations to come. I... why...

A. Morales doesn't mean that. It's a common Latin name. Written characters are named based on statistics of white, black, and Latino first and last names. For example, 90.1% of Americans using Wood are white and 89.9% of Americans using Washington are black. It has no other meaning to the name itself.:)

Q. Habika: @ uh… I think someone else may have already asked you this question… so you don't have to answer… Could the initial nuclear explosion have triggered the emergence of a special variant of the infection? The candy makes me think... radioactivity causes cell transformation.

A. Partially Possible. And I don't know why that part of the story might not be explained.

This is as far as reviews go.:)
