Stray Chapter 43: The sun is still rising

The next morning.

The sun rises as usual, and it looks like a sunny day. The soft sunlight fills the whole earth, and there are no clouds in the clear sky.

This makes Xia Ran feel that it is a good sign. What he is most afraid of is that he is going to act today, but the heaven is not beautiful, and there will be a downpour... Not only affects the vision, affects the action, and reduces the success of the plan in all aspects. rate as simple as that.

More importantly, that's definitely a bad omen!

There is no need to look for any divination or fortune-telling to see, he can understand it by doing a comprehension question casually, just like the proposition of "Why does it rain in the college entrance examination"——

Isn't it just to reveal the background of the story, and at the same time to render the bleak atmosphere, by the way, it alludes to the tragic fate of the characters, and finally reveals the tragic social environment?

So, if there is a sudden heavy rain today, he will definitely cancel the plan immediately without saying a word.

Quan Xinyi didn't tell anyone about the plan, even his parents hid it, and went to school as usual this morning. His parents didn't know it and were still thinking about continuing to fortify the base camp's defenses.

This is not only because of the lack of security, but also because they have more information than the ignorant people outside.

Some people say ignorance is the root of fear, others say the more you know, the more you fear, but it makes sense anyway. They are in the latter situation now, and they feel unsafe even staying in their own homes. Only in this building, many doors and windows are nailed to the inside by wooden boards. There are also some organs set up inside, some weapons are prepared, and a lot of food is hoarded. of apartment buildings can give them a little peace of mind.

Especially with professionals and humanoid radar...

It's not just Izumi Shinichi who wants his parents to be in a safer environment, his parents also want their son to be in a safer environment, otherwise, he wouldn't be able to persuade his parents to move so easily .

If it wasn't for the fact that they didn't know how long it would take for the disaster of the parasitic beast to end, both Izumi Shinichi's parents planned to leave their studies at home.

Similarly, there is the girl Kana Kamijima, who seems to have completely adapted to this place.

It took another half an hour after Quan Xinyi went out, Xia Ran and Yutian Shou only went out, but this time they didn't go in the direction of Quan Xinyi's school, but chose the opposite direction.

On the way, Yutian Shou looked restless, and Xia Ran was only calm on the surface. After all, despite all the preparations he could do, this kind of thing is really not risky at all, he himself Neither believe it.

But since it's a plan that I lead and promote, even if I'm kneeling, I have to grit my teeth and complete it.

Xia Ran made up her mind and plans to let herself bear more pressure in the future. Although what he said was the truth, the goal this time was originally the catastrophe that Quan Xinyi couldn't escape, and sooner or later it would be right.

If it wasn't for him to push, it is very likely that Izumi Shinichi would have to face that monster by himself, instead of the current lineup and combat power.

However, if you look at it from another angle, maybe without his intrusion, all this is doomed? There is no need for him as a superfluous person to disrupt all this, so that the final "destiny" direction is completely uncertain.

Gong is merit, wrong is wrong, Xia Ran feels that since she has her own problems, she should take responsibility.

It's just that, apart from worrying that the plan won't unfold as he expected, he doesn't have much fear and fear, but an inexplicable bloodthirsty excitement rises from the bottom of his heart. .

It seems that this is a bloodthirsty factor that was ignited by a certain opportunity before. In this world, at the beginning, it is necessary to risk life to hunt parasitic beasts. If one is not careful, he may die at any time. I have this feeling too.

But after that, because of his ability to make a qualitative leap, he no longer needs to hunt and kill parasitic beasts carefully, but directly see one slaughtered one, and he no longer feels such a feeling.

Now it seems, Xia Ran still feels that this feeling is quite... not bad? Perhaps due to the reincarnation of the nightmare, he seems to be very adaptable to this crisis-filled life.

I thought I was peace-loving, and my biggest wish was to be able to live well in the real world.

But, it looks like it was just his own wishful thinking?

"It's really exciting..."

Taking a deep breath, Xia Ran stood on the side of the road and reached out to stop a taxi, leaving behind Yu Tian Shou, who was bewildered, and left.

"What are you looking forward to?" Uda Mamoru was a little confused, but his companion didn't explain it to him. He could only stay in place obediently, raising his wrist from time to time to check the time displayed on his watch.

Because it is impossible for everyone to arrive at the predetermined battlefield at the first time, otherwise, it is no different from directly exposing all the trump cards. As long as the other party finds out that there are three parasitic beasts on their side, they will definitely go further. Be vigilant.

That way it won't play the role that the hole card should have.

So, Utian Shou will be the last to rush past. As long as everything goes well, he can play a role in a surprise attack, even if it just surprises the enemy and loses his sense of proportion, it is good.

……

……

It looks like twenty minutes have passed.

On a remote road, with dense woods on both sides and rolling mountains in the distance, the scenery is not bad. Moreover, it is already considered to be the periphery of the city, and the degree of remoteness is absolutely nothing to say.

Quan Xinyi waited on the side of the road with some restlessness and unease. In his vision, at the end of the road, a taxi was coming, and there were three parasitic beasts' reactions on it.

However, when the taxi stopped, only one person came down.

Is this the merging monster? Quan Xinyi's heart froze, subconsciously feeling a little scared, but subconsciously heaving a sigh of relief, in short, it is very contradictory...

Fear is because he knows the details of this monster, and he is relieved because his companion's plan is half-successful, and it is Miki, not Goto.

"Okay, no need to ask for money, thank you, go back first!"

After the parasitic beast got out of the car, he laughed heartily at the taxi driver, and waved his hand. His expression was quite sunny, cheerful and confident, like a good sportsman. look.

Izumi Shinichi has never seen a parasitic beast with such a rich expression. All the enemies he has seen before have a paralyzed face.

And this guy is obviously an exception, but instead of making him feel relieved, it's even more creepy - so, is this really a real freak?

The taxi turned around, turned around and left the area. The "person" walked slowly towards Quan Xinyi and raised his hand to say hello:

"Yo, hello, the weather is nice today..."

But the high school students didn't plan to talk nonsense with it, but after recovering, they turned around and ran, quickly rushing into the woods behind them.

"Eh? Hey, wait a minute..." The "person" suddenly became a little anxious, and even shouted, followed by running after him. The running posture was very correct, but the speed was regular. Moment, neither fast nor slow.

"Ayou, are you sure it's Miki?"

Izumi Shinichi ran fast in front of him, but he didn't even look back, he just hurriedly consulted his right hand.

His right hand quickly mimicked, and a mouth opened in the palm of his hand: "There are only three reactions, it can be confirmed that it is Miki... Don't worry, Shinichi, the plan is going well, this is the best start."

That's it, I hope the rest of the second half goes well as well.

Quan Xinyi sullenly headed, silently speeding up his pace, throwing away the shouts coming from behind him, he didn't stop until he ran to an open space in the woods, leaning on his knees and gasping for breath.

His physical fitness is the level of an ordinary high school student, and it is normal to have such a performance.

In less than a minute, the "person" also caught up. It saw the woodland in front of it suddenly open up, and the target was holding his knees in front of him and gasping for breath, and couldn't help showing a smile.

Only when its sight shifted and swept behind Quan Xinyi, it froze slightly——

In the shadows there lies a corpse also wearing a school uniform. Although it is far away, and the head position is also blocked by a tree, it is not clear to see, but it can be determined that it should be similar to Izumi Shinichi. students of all sizes and ages.

And it took a few steps forward and saw more things. For example, on the other side of the tree that covered its head, there were long soft tentacles lying on the ground like a dead poisonous snake. ,not moving at all.

There is no reaction, it is a dead kind.

"It's a pity, it seems that I'm a step late, has Hideo Shimada been killed by you?" It seemed a little depressed, raised his hand and scratched the back of his head, "Sure enough, the same kind of people in the past are encountering After reaching you, I was easily killed by you!"

“…”

Izumi Shinichi took a deep breath and straightened up, staring at the fit monster in front of him without speaking, looking very vigilant.

The other party is probably the most human-like parasitic beast he has ever encountered. He is wearing a yellow and black sports suit, his expressions are rich, he can talk and laugh, his tone is natural, and he has no mechanical rigidity at all.

"It seems that you are really difficult to deal with. Sure enough, Tamura Reiko's words should not be believed. What are you doing to observe and kill you right from the beginning, wouldn't it be good?"

The other party restrained his smile, stared straight at Quan Xinyi, and said in a deep voice.

"Ayou... Are you ready?" Quan Xinyi felt his scalp tingling inexplicably, and seemed to feel the heavy pressure of hostility and murderousness. He couldn't help speaking to his right hand. .

"Ayou? Is it called this name because it is parasitic on the right hand?"

The merging monster on the opposite side froze for a moment, then laughed.

"It's too uncreative, isn't that the same as me? By the way, my name is Miki..."

——Ayou is pronounced "migi", similar to "miki".
