Miss Witch doesn't want to be a diva

The armored train that shuttled through the mountains roared forward. When the swarm of insects descended from the sky, dense gunfire sounded on the train, and the flames covered the body of the train like a hedgehog armor, smashing the attacking swarm of insects into pieces.

The damaged juice and blood fell on the leaves of the forest in the mountains. Along the way, I don’t know how many similar attacks I encountered. Fortunately, the scale was always small and could not stop the armored train from moving forward.

In the afternoon, the black and gray troops marched on the land, and when they arrived at the signal transmission site in the evening, they saw piles of charred insect corpses. The land within a radius of several kilometers was stained black by rotten flesh and blood, and the smell of burnt was overwhelming.

Walking between these insect corpses and black tar, the bad smell and traces made people dare not imagine what kind of tragic battle this place had experienced.

Finally, the team passed through the piles of debris and corpses, climbed the small hill in the inner circle, and saw the only relatively clean round land.

There are many damaged and burnt armored vehicles left here, and the logo of the relief association is also full of dried blood.

"Are we late?" The leader of the Iron Core could not help but ask as he looked at the scene.

"No, they should have survived." A tall and thin officer looked around the scene.

"Although there are many remains of corpses here, there are almost none in the center, and it is even relatively clean. Moreover, although the armored vehicles are damaged a lot, it is not just these."

"Then how did they win or persist in the end?" A team member asked.

"I don't know, but we still search around, maybe we can find something."

Then the leading officer asked his men to disperse and search.

About half an hour later, the members responsible for the search returned and reported to the leaders.

"We found this." A member handed over an iron plate.

There was a line of handwriting on the iron plate in the form of fire.

"We suffered heavy losses, but we still survived. Thank you for your support. We will take a long time to recuperate in the future, and we may not be able to contact you in the short term."

After reading this line of words, the leader handed the iron plate to someone else, then boarded an abandoned armored vehicle, looked at the land from afar, and sighed at the devastated world.

"They are really tenacious... No wonder they can survive until now."

"Sir, what about us now?" asked the member next to him.

"It should be fine. There are so many corpses piled up here. You see, those bugs have not gathered here anymore. What does it mean? It means that such strong pheromones can't attract bugs. They can no longer threaten this land."

"Let's make a record and return later."

"What about the whereabouts of the Heshan Rescue Society?"

"That's not my business. Leave them a way out." The leader waved his hand.

"They are extremely weak now. Even if we had a good relationship in the past, I'm afraid they are worried when they meet now."

"This world is full of dangers. Leave a good impression. Maybe one day we will also encounter difficulties."

"Let's go back."

Some people in the team still miss the technology passed down by the Heshan Rescue Society, but they don't know where they are going now, and their boss doesn't have too persistent ideas, so they can only return the same way with regret.

On the way, several leading officers sat in the train to discuss.

"After this swarm of insects, we don't know when the next one will come. With the intensity of this one, even if we encounter it, we will suffer great losses."

"I heard that the main city has already started to set up watchtowers along the border mountains to monitor the eastern area where the swarm broke out."

"What a pity. In the past, the base of the Heshan Rescue Association was so solid, and the warning points were like stars all over the eastern mountains. No one wanted to lose them one after another in just a few months and be destroyed by the swarm. It's good that 10% of them can survive this time."

"According to scholars in the alliance, these insects prefer warmer areas, so the north The insects are rarely seen in the north, and they are not very active in winter. The reason why the Heshan Rescue Association was able to migrate successfully is also due to the heavy snow in winter. "

"Our Ford Alliance is located in the north, and there are mountains between us. It will not be easy for them to invade. As long as we are careful, they should not pose a big threat to us."

The roar of the train continued, and many soldiers on the train leaned against the carriage to sleep and rest. They had been marching for several days and were already exhausted. Although they did not catch up with the battle, it was not necessarily a bad thing for ordinary soldiers. Now that the swarm of insects has dissipated, their spirits have relaxed, and they can sleep peacefully even in a shaking and noisy car.

The sky darkened again, and then the train drove into the mountains and slowly disappeared into the night.

In the south of the wilderness, the small valley that was once quiet on the grassland is now quite lively. The surviving members of the Heshan Rescue Association are stationed in the open space in the valley, and the armored vehicles at the entrance of the valley form a temporary wall to guard the interior.

The tall figure of the moose boss walked between the campfires, handing over the prepared meals to the members of the rescue association who were sitting by the fire to treat their wounds and take a nap. On the other side, Mimi of the cat-tailed species was busy with several companions at the makeshift kitchen counter. She held a spoon in her hand and skillfully stirred the food in the pot, adding some chopped ingredients from time to time.

On the platform on the mountain wall, Sura, Fran and several members of the Heshan Rescue Association were discussing the resettlement plan.

"I took a look at the black oil stored in the cave. If it is filtered and processed, it can be added to the armored vehicle for use. It just needs to be cleaned and repaired every once in a while." A member of the rescue association held a handwritten cardboard in his hand. A lot of material reserves.

"There is definitely not enough food now. If we want to survive, we must find a way to get food as soon as possible." Frank glanced at the data on the cardboard.

"Hesia said that she is working on a way to deal with the problem of water and soil pollution, but it will take some time to prepare." Although Sula doesn't know how to do it, the girl has done too many incredible things now, even if She said that she was the rebirth of the Holy Sun, and Sula also thought it was very possible.

"If the problem of water and soil pollution can be solved, then this vast grassland will be fertile soil for reclamation." Fran looked at the scrawled hand-drawn map beside him.

"Currently in the camp, the original number of people in the settlement plus members of the rescue association is about 1,600, and the daily food consumption is a huge amount."

"When we migrated before, we exchanged weapons for food with many settlements we passed along the way. Now I'm afraid it can't be the same as before." A member of the rescue association shook his head.

Just when several people were helpless, a brisk and flexible figure descended from the night sky and landed among them.

"Good evening everyone, here is Lololia who is fully charged and full of energy~" With a little air spray on her heels and palms, this cute mechanical girl greeted a few people.

"Uh...Hello." Several people present responded to her hesitantly.

Although everyone knows that this mechanical girl is not the kind of war machine that only kills, it is still difficult for them to adapt to the traditional impressions and memories of thousands of years.

"You are looking for food, right? Hesia told me in the morning." Lololia replied with a slightly brisk voice.

As a creation of the Mechanical Council, it can help native humans and bring them a great sense of satisfaction and accomplishment. The emotional response to the code is happiness.

"Lololia flew at a speed exceeding the speed of sound and circled the land within a hundred miles. Dangdang~ This is the map." After saying that, her green eyes blinked and a three-dimensional map image was projected. Shows the condition of this grassland and surrounding land.

The grassland has an irregular shape, with the eastern and northern parts covered by barren Gobi. The north continues to extend as the altitude increases, and vegetation and trees begin to appear, which is the direction leading to the Stone Forest Mountain Fortress.

To the west is still endless grassland. It is said that there is a big river there, and many barbaric settlements live along the river, among which the wolfbloods are the leaders. To the south is the jungle where Hesia and Sura met. See here It seems to be rich in water and soil, but there are a lot of mosquitoes, snakes and ants. If you are not careful, you will be infected with various diseases. In the era of scarcity of antibiotics, no one would live there.

"The Stone Forest Castle has just been destroyed by an insect disaster. Although most of the insect groups have been eliminated, insect eggs are still sleeping in the local soil and many hidden corners. If you go there, you don't know why these insects will break out. According to the past According to records, it will take at least several years for the local insects to hatch and die out of food before they spontaneously and slowly die out," said a technical member of the Heshan Rescue Association.

"It's best not to go back in the direction we came from. The situation there is more serious. My suggestion now is to go west and find trade deals with various settlements on the grassland. Although one settlement is not enough, as long as you go to enough settlements, you can always make up. Enough food for a quarter.”

"I'm afraid it's a bit difficult." Sura replied, resting his head on his head.

"The food on the grasslands has always been in a delicate state of balance, and they often conflict with each other over food issues. It would be okay if they only trade a small amount, but large-scale operations will definitely be noticed by the local settlements, especially there The wolf-blooded species, they all obey the orders of the wolf-blood queen. With the temperament of that queen, when she finds out, she will definitely think of ways to annex you and obtain all kinds of desired technologies and equipment. "

"I went there with my companions a few years ago, and the impression I had at the time was not very good. Compared to the various settlements under the management of the Gray Feathered Species, they were quite barbaric. Even caravans could be robbed and killed. A few passers-by with no background are even more common.”

In this world, robbing caravans is a serious matter. Due to the lack of supplies, many settlements rely on caravans to bring precious medicines, daily necessities, and information from the outside world. Once the caravan disappears somewhere, , other caravans will also avoid those places, which will make life difficult for the local settlements in the future.

"For these reasons, although there are many settlements on the grassland, few caravans dare to go there to do business. Even if they go to sell or buy things, it will be much more demanding than other places. For example, ten pounds of meat can be exchanged for one can. Rice, but it only costs about twenty kilograms over there.”

"The caravan has a reason. What kind of place are you? I don't dare to come here without a group of bodyguards. Don't these bodyguards not eat or spend money?" Sura imitated the plausive tone of the caravan bosses.

After saying that, several people present laughed and walked out of the heavy atmosphere during this period.

After dinner, many went to bed early in the absence of entertainment, while a few continued to chat around the campfire, pouring out the many emotions accumulated during this period.

In the room in the cave, Heshia looked at the 'Rhythm Crystal' that was flowing with brilliance on the table and felt relieved.

I finally made it. I didn’t expect that it would be so troublesome to rub it with my own hands. Every parameter must be adjusted, unlike in the gray dust crystal where there are many instruments and equipment to assist.

With this crystal, extraordinary impurities that pollute the soil and air can be precipitated, and the remaining chemical pollution or gas particles can be solved in simpler ways.

Holding this crystal, Hesia walked out of the room and came outside the cave.

At this moment, Fran, Guy and others were still sitting around the campfire. Fran held a pen in his hand and recorded the interesting rumors and experiences he heard at night like a bard.

"Miss Heshia." Seeing the girl walking through the fire, the members of the rescue society stood up and saluted. Then, with the girl's wave and nod, they slowly sat down again.

Arriving at the fire where the core members gathered, Tilan flicked her fingers and threw out the rhythm crystal, suspending it above the bonfire. Its flickering light ripples gave people a sense of novelty and mystery.

"This is a solution to pollution. It can be used to separate extraordinary toxins and impurities in the air, water, and soil, and then filter them using traditional methods to create a safe living environment." She introduced its efficacy.

"Such a piece of land can probably purify a land of 500 meters in length and width. It should be enough to keep the crop environment safe and clean in the early stage." After speaking, she turned her eyes to look at the rescue association members aside and asked Check it themselves.

After listening to Heshia's explanation, Fran and a group of rescue association members gathered around curiously, while Heshia sat down. At this moment, Mimi brought her a bowl of prepared milk-flavored stew, which included The green vegetables and tomatoes that are paired with it look very tempting.

"It tastes very good." Hesia finished her small bite and nodded in praise.

After listening, Mimi smiled happily, and her tail behind her couldn't help but sway back and forth. Then Guy on the side told Heshia what they had discussed during the day.

"In other words, if we are looking for food in the short term, we can only try the western part of the grassland?"

"Yes, when we and the rescue organization came over, we had already bought out the food in several nearby settlements, and they had to eat the rest by themselves, especially in the Lake Wind settlement. It is estimated that they only have breeding animals now. Hesia just now The goat milk in the dinner was obtained from them.”

"That's it..." Tilan thought for a while.

"Although you will definitely encounter a lot of problems on the road, you still have to go. In fact, I also want to see what the situation is like there. As for safety issues, as long as I am here, it shouldn't be a big problem." She didn't know who The strength of the Wolf Blood Queen, but even if the opponent is a terrifying existence of Sequence 8, she still has the ability to protect herself. Having been promoted to Sequence 7, she can now try many secret techniques and skills that were unavailable in the past.

"With Loloria and the mechanical bodies she controls in the camp, there shouldn't be any danger."

In fact, Lololia has already measured and mapped the land with a radius of hundreds of miles today, because there is almost no shelter on the grassland, and there are not many living creatures, let alone the forces that can threaten the camp with more than 1,600 people now. Well, this is because Heshia has a relatively high sense of self-morality. If she directs these people to plunder, she can directly capture and plunder all the settlement strongholds within a hundred miles.

"No, I won't agree. I also want to go out with Heshia. I just need a mechanical partner to watch over me at home." The mechanical girl's hearing is particularly developed, and the processor she is equipped with can analyze the simultaneous conversations of thousands of people at the same time. Heshia Xia heard these words from a distance, and then ran over to complain.

"I also want to go out with Heshia~" She came to the girl, grabbed Heshia's sleeves, and prayed coquettishly. She didn't know who set up such a behavioral template for her, but it matched her The already petite and cute appearance actually works extremely well.

In response, Heshia had no choice but to pet Loloria's head lovingly and agree to her plea.

"It's okay to go together, but you have to be careful to conceal your identity on the way and don't reveal that you are a machine."

"Yes, yes, I will. I am a wise and intelligent high-level mechanical life, so I won't be so stupid." After the request was approved, Lololia happily circled Heshia and let out a joyful cry. laughter.

Seeing such a humane and lively mechanical body, the members who originally had many fears and worries relaxed a little. At least she can communicate, right, instead of a rigid machine that only knows how to operate according to the code.

Under the night sky and the bonfire, light laughter and snoring intertwined. The oppressive and heavy memories of the past were slowly healed by the warm firelight, becoming peaceful and soft.
