"Alisa Irinitina Amiera reporting for duty!"
Fangzheng's face darkened when he saw the girl in front of him. He turned to look at Yumiya Ryudan.
"Mr. Ursa, what do you mean by this?"
"This Miss Alisa is the new Divine Armament user who just joined us in Fenrir today."
Gall of Rain Palace chuckled as he looked at Fangzheng and introduced him.
"I guess you're aware that the current situation in Fenrir isn't great and we don't have the time to nurture newcomers …"
"So you handed her over to me?"
"I think you've done a great job. Besides, didn't you bring Miss Felly out of Genie?"
What do you mean by 'brought out'? She was the one who followed me here, alright?
Fangzheng swept a glance at Felly speechlessly. Felly let out a 'hmph' and turned her head away upon detecting his gaze … Alright, perhaps she's still angry about the bowl of instant noodles that she made last night.
With this in mind, Fangzheng looked at the girl in front of him again. He had to admit that this girl named Alisa was quite beautiful. She had long silver-white hair and wore a red and black hat. However, the most eye-catching thing about her was her attire. This young lady was only wearing a black sleeveless leather jacket, and this leather jacket was also very short. Not only did it reveal her navel, but it could also be faintly seen through the gap below the jacket to see the rounded curves inside.
This made Fangzheng suspect if she was wearing a bra … Could it be that this young lady was only wearing a singlet?
On the other hand, Alisa wore a red and black checkered skirt, black boots, and knee-high boots. What kind of attire is this? Isn't it too wild?
"Miss Alisa's background is …"
"She's Russian."
"Oh …"
Since she was a Russian, her wild outfit was understandable. Even if she was riding a bear, Fangzheng wouldn't be surprised.
"This Mr. Fangzheng is a wilderness traveler. He's heading to the North. I think you'll gain a lot if you travel with him."
Ryudan winked at Alisa. Alisa seemed to want to say something, but after hearing Ryudan's words, she closed her mouth and didn't say anything.
"There's one more thing that I hope you can help with."
"Oh? What is it? "
"It's like this. In fact, during this period of time, Fenrir has been hearing some rumors from the surrounding settlements … Have you heard of the City of the Dead, Austa?"
"I've heard of it."
Fangzheng puckered his brows. He had heard about it from the passengers when he boarded the bus to Genie, but it was only a rumor back then.
"Actually, during this period of time, many people from the gathering points have headed there one after another … Frankly speaking, this made us feel uneasy. According to the rumors, the City of the Dead, Eusta, is a place where the dead can live … And those people head there to become the dead … This way, they can live on forever. "
"Why don't I get it?"
Misaka Mikoto blinked dubiously.
"Since they're already dead, how can they live? Isn't that contradictory? "
"I'm not too sure about the details. According to the rumors, those who die in that land won't truly die and will continue to live."
"If that's the case, what's the difference between being dead and alive?"
Shiroi Kuroko raised her doubts. If they said that they wouldn't die, wouldn't that mean that they would continue to live forever?
"I don't know about that. All in all, this rumor sounds suspicious. Besides, many people from the settlements have headed to the rumored City of the Dead, so I hope that if Mr. Fangzheng heads to the North, can you investigate the situation there?"
This was a matter of life and death for Fenrir. After all, why did the God Devourers protect these settlements? Wasn't it to allow these settlements to have more children so that they could have more candidates to wield the Divine Armaments? If those people were tempted by the so-called 'undying' and headed to the so-called City of the Dead, wouldn't Fenrir be caught unawares?
However, Fenrir was thousands of miles away from the rumored City of the Dead and it was impossible for him to leave his territory for an extended period of time. Therefore, he could only rely on Fangzheng, who had nothing better to do than to wander the streets.
"No problem."
Hearing this, Fangzheng nodded. After confirming that he would let the players collect information about the other core reactors on his behalf, Fangzheng returned to his wandering state. At least before the players spread out in all directions, he didn't need to be in a hurry to cause trouble for the time being.
Since it's on the way, why not take a look?
"Alright then, regarding the remuneration, we'll do as we agreed earlier. I will send my men to deliver the food and materials you need. You just need to wait for them to arrive."
Both sides had a tacit understanding and didn't mention anything about the Core Reactor in Fenrir. In fact, when Fangzheng mentioned the remuneration, Darius immediately knew that he had investigated the Core Reactor in Fenrir. However, Ryudan Amamiya wasn't surprised at all. After all, he knew that the girl with two ponytails had the ability to teleport. If it were her, it would be a piece of cake for her to enter any top-secret space in Fenrir. Now that Fangzheng had offered to pay and there was no problem with the core reactor, Ryudan Amamiya was naturally happy to pretend that he didn't know anything.
After all, in this world, the one with the bigger fist was right. Darius believed that he couldn't find anyone in the entire Fenrir who could compare to Fangzheng, not to mention that he had a massive faction backing him that could easily provide tens of thousands of tons of resources. Since Fangzheng was harmless and didn't hurt the foundation of Fenrir, Darius naturally wouldn't fall out with Fangzheng.
"But I didn't expect you to act so quickly."
"Hehe, it's mainly because we have enough manpower."
With that said, Fangzheng chuckled.
"Furthermore, they should be arriving soon."
"…?"
In this world, sometimes, a single battle was enough to destroy a city.
This was the first time Genie's people had encountered a battle against a corrupted beast.
"Argh — Argh — Argh!"
Urgent alarms reverberated in the city. The people who were originally leisurely on the streets were no longer as calm as they used to be. Their faces were solemn as they fled in panic and rushed into the shelters. At the periphery, the students who were originally studying in the school were also fully armed. With weapons in their hands, they nervously stared at the enemies outside.
"I really didn't expect something like this to happen."
Standing on top of the tower, Karian clenched his fists as he looked at the corrupting beasts that filled the sky like locusts. Generally speaking, moving cities would avoid the threats ahead. But this time, they were unlucky as they accidentally stepped on the Mother Nest of the corrupted beasts. Not only that, but this action also entangled the external power system of Genie's mobile city, making it impossible for them to escape.
Currently, the corrupted beasts in the Mother Nest had awakened and launched their attacks on Academy City. All they could do was to fight with their backs to the wall.
But … What were their chances of winning?
Karian couldn't guarantee this. Although the Academy City Alliance was responsible for nurturing martial artists, in terms of battle strength, Academy City couldn't compare to the regular, large-scale moving cities. Generally speaking, the martial artists in Academy City would receive training here and after graduation, they would head to various large-scale cities to work or join the army. But even so, most people would need a long time to accumulate experience. The premise was that they wouldn't die before that.
This was also the first time that Genie had encountered a real corrupted beast. In this case, what could these inexperienced students do?
Karian let out a long sigh. It seemed like a good thing that Felly wasn't with Genie. At the very least, if Genie were to break through …
Karian shook his head. Then, he reached out his hand and took out the communicator that Fangzheng had left for him.
Should I use this? Or should I observe the situation first?
At the same time, outside the platform, a fully-armored blonde woman was glaring at the seemingly innumerable Corrupted Beasts in the sky.
"Those are … corrupted beasts …"
The blonde woman clutched the alchemy steel in her hand and stared at the monsters before her. The insect-like Pollution Beasts in the sky, as well as the worm-like Pollution Beasts that crawled along the pillars on the ground, were all so disgusting. She could even feel the strong will of these polluting beasts.
Eat! Eat everything! Everything was eaten!
I won't let you get away with it!
The blonde woman raised the alchemy steel in her hand.
I'll protect this city!
Thinking of this, the blonde woman gave the order without hesitation.
"Firing squad! Fire!"
Following the blonde woman's order, the soldiers holding rocket launchers at the rear immediately pulled the trigger at the Corrupted Beasts in the air. Following the sound of explosions, clusters of flames burst out from the Corrupted Beasts. However, their attacks seemed to be completely useless. The rocket launchers that were powerful enough to penetrate armored vehicles hit the Corrupted Beasts' shells, but they couldn't even shake the shells of the Corrupted Beasts.
At this moment, the corrupted beasts on the ground had arrived before them.
"Attack!"
With a furious roar, the golden-haired woman took the lead and rushed up.
