The Collection of The End

――TR.82.11.28――

Underground mine.

"So, how is the integration of the bugs?"

Although he had already guessed, Renault asked.

"'Flawless, impeccable, they seem to be one by nature', this is the researcher's evaluation," Ariel shrugged one shoulder: "And because those bugs are inherently irrational, it doesn't matter if they lose their memory."

"So... what we have to face is not only the vine, but also the bugs that merge with the vine?" Tykes clicked on the bolt: "This is too much to my appetite!"

"You have to eat for yourself!" Tosh declared immediately.

Because it was unclear whether Tosh really thought Tycus was going to eat bugs or ridiculed, Renault decided not to comment.

"According to the record..." Ariel didn't intend to bother with the two people, and continued after a pause: "They set up a place for cultivating those ‘Hybrid’ in a deeper place, closer to diazine."

"So, those monsters came out from the depths, wiped out the Federal Research Institute, and went back?" Jimmy scratched his head, "But what happened to those vines?"

What else is going on, vines and insects are not a group. Renault glanced at Aire.

So far, the information obtained has basically overturned the speculation made while on the surface, but the specifics have to wait for my own explanation, if she wants to.

In addition to flying swords, they can also control plants, and psionicists are really omnipotent.

"The easy investigation time ends here. Next, we may encounter real battles," Ariel observed Renault and his party back and forth: "Sergeant Renault, are you sure that your people have enough combat power?"

"I think it's okay," Reynolds raised his eyebrows: "The reason why we went straight into the mine without calling for reinforcements, except for the ‘knowledge’ that you have, Ms. Hansen, is our own combat power."

"I hope your self-confidence is not conceited," Ariel nodded, then lowered his head and swiped the record board a few times: "Go here, come with me."

"Uh..." Seeing the botanist who originally needed protection went out first, Jimmy looked confused: "Commander, how do I think she seems to have changed?"

"Do you think you will be more confident in that situation when you'exploring information yourself' and'staying with other rangers'?" Renault patted Jimmy on the shoulder, and hurried to catch up with Airier.

"Of course it's when there are companions? But what does it have to do with the current situation?" Jimmy was still baffled.

"Come on, kid." Tycus seemed to have discovered something, and slapped Jimmy on the shoulder vigorously, but did not explain.

Swish-

Squeak--

Finally, in the deepest part of the mine, beside a big pit that was still surging with diazine, Renault saw the vines and insects fighting fiercely.

It’s not very accurate to call it that. There is indeed a standard vine on the one who is fighting, but the other is a deformed monster that is a mixture of plants and various animals, insects, and even humans. It cannot be simply called insects.

"They..." Jimmy was shocked, and the expected Tekes and Tosh both looked at Ariel like Renault.

"Ms. Hansen, do you have anything to say before we do anything to those monsters?" Renault asked.

"It's more troublesome to explain, let me just talk about the things you should be very concerned about," Ariel lifted his hair: "These vines will not attack you. Those humanoid hybrids are just clones. Before I came out, I had not had time to instill the original body of knowledge and memory, and the federal agents and soldiers were all locked up by me."

"So, you already knew about the secret federal base. We were brought here just to find a reasonable reason to expose it." Renault said in a positive tone.

"I originally planned to play a'vegetable revenge', so I erased all the information on the surface base," Ariel looked at Tosh: "Who knew that he actually found the information left by the Federation. ."

"Blame me?" Toxu spread his hands.

She didn't explain how she acquired the abilities and why she wanted to obtain the federal research results, but it was really troublesome and not important.

"Very well, the rest will be discussed slowly when we get the following things done." Renault tapped his helmet to activate the commander system and enter the combat state.

"Hahaha! Damn bugs, I didn't expect it! Uncle Finley chased from Marsala!" Seeing Renault's agreement, Tycus directly drew his gun and rushed towards the line of fire where the vines and the bugs confronted.

As Ariel said before, when the vines noticed that Tycus was approaching, not only did they not launch an attack, they also specifically gave up his direction and attack path.

Boom boom boom!

Teckis’ blasting arrow gun does not need to be aimed at all, as long as it keeps firing at the enemies of the vines, one shot at a time, the opposite hybrid seems to want to divide the troops to get rid of this sudden thorn in the eye, but is killed by those vines. Entangled.

The battle between the two sides is very distinctive. The vines are mainly smashing and binding, while the hybrids basically fight in the original form of the target before they "mix", mainly bites and claws.

When the hybrid defeats the vine, they will "eat" their trophy like an animal, and when the vine defeats the hybrid, it will take away the plant part of the hybrid, leaving an old corpse.

Their originally evenly matched battle quickly became one-sided after Tykes and others joined. The weird mixture was beaten back by the rangers and vines, and finally shrank into a pothole that was quite close to the same source Inside, the trapped beast is still fighting against the vine and Tykes and others.

Renault scanned it with the commander system and found several rusty clone factories in the depths of the potholes that were still in operation. Not surprisingly, it produced all "human hybrids." .

Maybe those "mixes" have no special tendency, and the fusion objects they encounter will merge by the way, but Renault analyzes based on the time and difficulty it takes to kill each monster, the human mixture is the weakest in the entire mine. The one.

"Die! Die!" "Shoo!"

Teckis's wide-range targetless bombardment combined with the use of psychic lightsabers to sniper high-threat units, even without Renault pumping a few shots, the range of influence of the hybrid is still rapidly shrinking.

After the ratio between the vine and the hybrid is large enough, there is no suspense in this battle.

"Let's find a place to talk," Ariel retracted his gaze from the battlefield and looked at Renault: "Your Bucerfalos is good."
