Chapter 294 Where did the BGM come from?
Late night.
In this war-torn land, every step is full of unknowns and dangers.
Shiraishi quietly sneaked back into the abandoned mine where they temporarily settled from the outside world. His figure looked particularly tired in the night.
Because of Nick Horton’s injury.
They had to find a car to travel.
After all, although Nick Holden's injury was said to be minor before, the so-called minor injury was just a rough judgment in an emergency.
To know when on the battlefield.
If a military doctor discovered that he could stop the bleeding by stuffing a bandage into a wound the size of a bowl, he would do so without hesitation.
After all, the most important thing is to hang on to your life, and there is no time to think about the infection afterwards.
Only living people deserve to be infected!
In an emergency, injuries are not serious as long as they are not fatal in the short term.
And in fact.
Nick Horton’s leg injury will take a long time to heal.
It would be really difficult to escape without a car.
The previous strategy of not using a car had to be changed slightly.
So Shiraishi spent a long time looking for a suitable vehicle among the ruins and wreckage.
Most of the cars in the surrounding towns were destroyed by the fighting, or were forcibly taken away by rioting armed men and confiscated for use.
When he finally found a pickup truck.
It was found to have no tires and an empty fuel tank.
To get the car back, Shiraishi had to scour for usable parts.
He found some unclean oil drums at an abandoned gas station a few blocks away, and found two other tires that were barely in good condition in a ruins not far away.
During the entire process of changing tires and refueling, he also had to carefully avoid possible patrols of armed patrols.
When everything was ready, Shiraishi started the pickup truck, and the engine made a dull roar.
He drove the creaky old car carefully along the dark road, trying not to attract any attention.
At the same time, pay attention to avoid soft ground, try to control the speed as stable as possible, and minimize the possibility of leaving traces such as ruts.
From time to time, sporadic firelights and distant gunshots could be seen on the road.
The smell of gunpowder smoke filled the air.
In the end, Shiraishi successfully drove the hard-won vehicle back to the abandoned mine.
Although physically exhausted, his heart was filled with a sense of accomplishment.
He knew that this car meant a much greater chance of survival for them.
Thinking.
Shiraishi parked the car in a more secluded place.
Then he followed the road to the abandoned mine and headed deeper.
After deliberately avoiding the traps he left behind at several corners, he returned to his temporary habitat.
Under the dim light, Nick Horton was lying on a shabby bed.
His face was pale and his breathing was weak.
Shiraishi approached Nick Horton and checked his wounds.
The bandage was soaked with blood and obviously needed to be re-bandaged and treated.
Shiraishi knew that time was running out, so he quickly took out the first-aid supplies from his backpack and began to carefully clean Nick Horton's wounds.
Despite the emergency, he tried to be as meticulous as possible to avoid causing more pain.
After finishing the bandage, Shiraishi used a clean cloth to wipe the sweat off Nick Holden's forehead.
He looked up at the exit of the mine. The outside world was still full of uncertainty and danger, but now he had an opportunity - the barely functional pickup truck.
In order to prevent Nick Horton from being further injured during the move, Shiraishi decided to make a simple stretcher.
He found a few sturdy sticks and some rope and quickly made a stretcher strong enough that it was not difficult for him.
Then, he carefully lifted Nick Horton onto the stretcher and secured it to ensure that no accidents would occur during the move.
After everything was ready, Shiraishi carried the stretcher.
Carefully move through the mines, avoiding self-imposed traps and other potential dangers.
He tried to keep the sound of his footsteps to a minimum so as not to attract unnecessary attention.
as they approached the pickup truck.
Shiraishi became more careful.
He looked around to make sure no one else was nearby, then gently placed Nick Horton in the back of the pickup truck.
He double-checked Nick Horton's condition to make sure he was in the most comfortable position and safe for the rest of the trip.
Shiraishi sat in the cab and prepared to start the pickup truck again.
Just not waiting for him to make any move.
He heard the slight but unobstructed roar of an engine in the distance, which made him pause as he prepared to start the truck.
He is very familiar with the sounds of various vehicles.
Judging from the sound, this was a convoy consisting of many ordinary off-road vehicles and several armored vehicles, approaching his position quickly.
Shiraishi quickly thought of countermeasures.
He couldn't risk exposing Nick Horton or making himself a target.
But now the target is too big to drive. Listening to the sound of cars, the convoys are already very close.
Driving away is undoubtedly a target.
Considering the current situation, the best option is to leave Nick Horton here and get out of the car as soon as possible.
After all, Nick Horton was in a coma with a leg injury and couldn't walk very fast when he woke up.
It's better to just stay in this car.
Anyway, you can’t use your car as a target.
Thinking.
Shiraishi got out of the car quickly.
After leaving Nick Horton here, Shiraishi headed straight for the abandoned mine.
If you don't drive, an abandoned mine is the best choice. You won't be able to run on four wheels in the wilderness.
After making his decision, Shiraishi moved quickly.
He quickly came to the place where he had rested for a while, took some things he might need, and headed straight for the depths of the abandoned mine, carrying the Rosewood Gundam.
The terrain here is complex.
You can walk around with enemies, or you can lay some traps to delay time.
As long as the enemy couldn't raze the entire abandoned mine to the ground, or use special methods such as poisonous gas, he would be sure to play with the enemy in it for a long time.
This is exactly why he chose to enter the abandoned mine.
Shiraishi knew that time was running out and he had to quickly find a more secluded and safe location.
The interior of the abandoned mine was intricate, and he knew there were several deeper passages that would provide better cover.
As he walked quickly, he listened carefully to the movements outside, and at the same time, he was also paying attention to the environment inside the mine, just in case any uninvited guests broke in.
Although the interior of the abandoned mine was dark, it was not an obstacle to Shiraishi who was familiar with the terrain.
He used the faint light to shuttle through the narrow alleyways, trying to make as little noise as possible.
As we go deeper, the inside of the mine gradually becomes quiet, and it seems that the sounds from the outside world are also isolated.
Shiraishi found a more secluded corner.
It's far away from the entrance and relatively safe. He put down the items on his shoulders, including the rosewood Gundam, and began to organize them.
Just as Shiraishi was about to take a break, the sound of the engine outside gradually approached.
The convoy where Shiraishi heard the sound...
arrive!
That was a group of convoys that didn't look like regular troops, but were definitely dangerous.
Some of the vehicles in the team were modified from ordinary civilian vehicles, with some iron spikes and chains installed on them.
There are also two somewhat dilapidated military armored vehicles with a light machine gun mounted on them.
As the motorcade stopped.
More than fifty people walked out slowly.
Shiraishi used a telescope to carefully observe the situation outside through a hidden observation point in the mine.
After the motorcade stopped, about fifty members got off the car one after another. They were in different states and had various appearances, but the common feature was that everyone looked rough and alert.
A tall and burly man with a scar extending from the corner of his left eye to the corner of his mouth, his eyes were cold and firm.
He wore a black tactical vest, a worn camouflage T-shirt underneath, and a wolf head tattooed on his arm.
He was armed with a semi-automatic pistol and was the apparent leader of the group.
Two operators stood on both sides of the armored vehicle and were responsible for operating the light machine guns. Their attire is relatively uniform, wearing standard military combat uniforms and helmets, and they appear well-trained.
The members next to the modified car members were dressed more chaotically, with some wearing old-style military uniforms and others wearing everyday clothes.
They range in age from their twenties to their forties. Some of their faces bear the scars of battle, while others appear more rugged and savage.
After getting off the car, the convoy leader quickly assessed the surrounding environment and then issued an order.
He appears to be directing his men in a search, possibly looking for a specific target or sign.
The members of the civilian modified vehicles began to spread out and divided into groups to search.
They were armed with a variety of weapons, ranging from simple knives to semi-automatic rifles.
Some began to scrutinize nearby ruins and buildings, while others began to scout around the entrance to the mine.
The operator of the armored vehicle stayed in place to guard the vehicle and monitor surrounding movements. They are always prepared to deal with possible threats.
Under the command of the convoy leader, some members began to set up sentry posts around the mine to prevent some unexpected intruders.
Others continue to search deeper, trying to find what they are looking for.
Shiraishi noticed that the actions of this group of people were organized, and they seemed to be looking for something or someone. In this case, even if the truck is hidden in a corner, it can be easily spotted.
He felt that if they found the pickup truck Nick Horton was in, there could be serious consequences.
Shiraishi decided to take action, and he began to look for a suitable opportunity, either to create some interference to distract them, or to find a safe moment to divert Nick Horton.
He quickly assessed his surroundings, looking for materials he could use to make noise.
After finding some scrap metal and old equipment, he began to make a simple noise device, hoping to attract the attention of those people and buy himself time.
After completing the installation.
Shiraishi carefully placed it in a location where it could be easily spotted, but not reveal his position.
Then, he quickly hid in a more secluded place and waited for his opportunity.
As the device made a loud sound, Shiraishi saw those people begin to gather towards the source of the sound.
Everyone from Nick Horton’s place also came over.
Clearly there is discipline in this group, but not much.
A noise machine attracted their attention.
Shiraishi was about to take the opportunity to do something.
I found that some fast-moving enemies were approaching and were ambushed by traps set up.
Shiraishi did not hesitate, hid in the dark, fired two cold shots, and continued to go deeper. After those people were shot, they immediately started to pursue them angrily.
A street fight begins around an abandoned mine.
Shiraishi had the advantage at the beginning.
But then it didn't work.
There are many people on the opposite side and they are well equipped.
The most important thing is that everyone basically calmed down under the leader's command.
His only advantage is that he is familiar with the terrain, and he has hidden traps in the dark to prepare for the evildoer.
At this moment, when the opponent is calm, he immediately begins to fall into a disadvantage.
The other side was in no hurry to catch him immediately.
Simply throw a stone to trigger the mechanism when you encounter a fork in the road. Then, instead of turning in a hurry, you first extend your gun and shoot the shuttle on the other side of the fork.
In short, be careful and prudent.
Shiraishi, who was running around carrying the Rosewood Gundam, gradually fell into despair after his cheek was grazed by a bullet and left a slight blood mark.
No injuries though.
But he has been caught in the opposite trap.
This made him unable to help but pray softly to Rosewood Gundam.
And this rosewood Gundam seems to have heard the prayer.
Suddenly a burst of light emitted in front of Shiraishi.
He couldn't help but stop and froze.
No time to think too much.
The air spontaneously vibrated and a burst of BGM was heard. This sound not only rang in Shiraishi's ears, but also in the ears of everyone within a two-kilometer radius.
"Before the world ends, seize the last lightning!"
"My heart is trembling, and I am reincarnated again for a hundred thousand years!"
"Look at you again and rekindle the flame of faith!"
"The mission is flashing, let me polish the dignity of life in the universe..."
The explosive theme song of the famous cartoon Super Beast Arms suddenly resounded in this foreign land at this moment.
The voice is incredibly clear and sounds exactly like the original. Whether it's the change of notes or every word spoken, it's like a vinyl record ringing in my ears.
The armed men who heard this were confused and didn't know what was going on.
Especially when they looked around and couldn't find the machine that made the sound, they felt even more creepy.
Obviously this is a supernatural event in their eyes.
How could music sound in the air out of thin air?
When Shiraishi saw this, he couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth because of this weird behavior.
This song suddenly sounded out of thin air, which was indeed quite supernatural.
But his mood also relaxed.
Because he understands...
The savior has arrived.
Along with this supernatural event, it must be that adult!
The rosewood gundam he had been carrying finally came into play.
Shiraishi, who felt that he could survive, finally breathed a sigh of relief at this moment.
Although he wanted to complain that this song was a bit inappropriate, and he was also curious about why the BGM was playing at this moment, but...
As long as that adult is happy.
The hero's appearance.
It’s always accompanied by BGM, right?
