Even the samurai at close range were startled by Li Ge's actions, and even Jiuzhi Laiqi looked over.
However, after seeing that Li Ge could kill Kabaneri by hitting their eyes, he didn't say anything.
When fighting monsters like Kabaneri, it's quite normal to be a little crazy, but someone who can kill Kabaneri while being crazy, isn't that a true talent?
Jiuzhi Laiqi directly called two people to help Li Ge replenish Steam, as his firing speed for bullets would quickly deplete it.
"Killed ten Kabaneri, gained 1 reward point."
The Main God's cold voice echoed in Li Ge's ears, instantly calming his agitated thoughts.
"This, young man, Lord Jiuzhi Laiqi asked me to replenish your Steam."
A samurai approached him and said, but still looked at Li Ge with some vigilance, afraid that he would get carried away and shoot him too.
Humans cannot compare to Kabaneri; taking a shot from a Steam Gun would be fatal.
Upon hearing this, Li Ge suppressed the corner of his mouth, which had lifted in pleasure, and returned to his initial calm, wise demeanor, saying indifferently, "Mm, replenish it. I did use quite a bit of Steam."
"Yes."
The samurai breathed a sigh of relief, but his vigilance grew stronger, after all, a lunatic who could change his expression was much more terrifying than a simple lunatic.
After replenishing the Steam, he unhesitatingly led his companion away from Li Ge's position.
"Looks like they were scared by you, huh?" Zhang Jie's movements didn't stop, but he still glanced at Li Ge and said mockingly.
"It's just a normal reaction from ordinary people," Li Ge said casually, seemingly not caring about such image-related things.
Although Li Ge had relaxed a bit due to the pleasure of the enhancement, revealing some of his neurotic traits, it didn't matter.
He hadn't intended to suppress his true nature for too long anyway; playing the part of a wise man at least required a calm exterior.
And these people would basically become the elders of the Zhongzhou Team later on, so it was impossible for him to constantly pretend to be a wise man like Chu Xuan or Xiao Honglv.
Since his true nature would be exposed sooner or later, it was better to give them a heads-up.
Zheng Zha, however, remembered the kidney shot Li Ge had unhesitatingly given him, and seeing Li Ge's recent performance, cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
He had a feeling that if he were to go against Li Ge again, Li Ge might genuinely come over with a sinister grin and kill him.
Seeing Li Ge's gaze sweep over him, Zheng Zha immediately shivered, hunched his neck, and obediently started fighting the Kabaneri.
Zhan Lan looked at the Kabaneri, many of whom had died, but an endless stream still appeared in her vision, and she couldn't help but bravely ask Li Ge, "Li Ge, how much longer do we have to hold on?"
"Soon, if nothing unexpected happens, the heroine will appear immediately," Li Ge replied while raising his Steam Gun, which was full of Steam, and continued to kill the Kabaneri.
Not only did she ask, but some nobles and commoners who had survived because of their defense also questioned Ayame.
These cowardly fellows, especially the nobles, were using strong words to demand that her samurai escort them to the Kōtetsujō.
Ayame shook her head and refused, "Father said we have to wait for the signal to be sent."
"What a joke, what signal is there? Now, immediately, take us to the Kōtetsujō!" The forty-something-year-old noble shouted at Ayame without any regard for his image.
Clang!
"Mind your attitude towards the Young Lady!" Jiuzhi Laiqi drew his samurai sword and said coldly to the noble uncle.
"Tsk!"
The noble uncle looked at Jiuzhi Laiqi, the loyal dog of the Shuichuan, with disgust, but he still quieted down.
Seeing this, Jiuzhi Laiqi also put away his sword, but he also knew that what the other party said might be true.
Traveling and dealing with Kabaneri, it had been almost half an hour.
But the family head's signal still hadn't been sent out, so it was likely that Lord Shuichuan was in grave danger.
"Young Lady, we need to find a way to break through to the Kōtetsujō."
Facing Jiuzhi Laiqi, the loyal samurai of the Shuichuan, Ayame hesitated for a moment but still didn't refuse.
She looked at the commoners saved in the team and the samurai who had gathered, feeling that she had achieved her initial goal.
So she asked Jiuzhi Laiqi, "Then how should we break through?"
Because of their gunfire, the Kabaneri were constantly rushing over from a distance, and if it weren't for Zhang Jie killing so many, their defense line would have been broken by now.
They could only try to return the way they came.
Before Jiuzhi Laiqi could utter this sentence, a clear female voice answered Ayame's question first.
"That's simple, I'll just lure them away."
A young girl who looked very much like Nohara Rin suddenly jumped down from a high place in front of them.
"Eh, Miss Mumei?" Ayame said in surprise.
"What can a child like you do?" Jiuzhi Laiqi frowned and said with a hint of displeasure.
As the head samurai of the Shuichuan, he also knew that this young girl, who had been received by the family head, had an unusual identity, but he didn't know the specific details.
Mumei was wearing a combat suit completely different from those of the samurai, with two short guns connected to her Steam tank, and two daggers tucked into her waist.
"Don't underestimate me, my brother said I'm already old enough to get married."
Mumei seemed a bit displeased, but then she pulled out the two pistols tucked into her legs and flipped out more than ten meters away.
Jiuzhi Laiqi and Zhan Lan and the others watched in stunned silence. What kind of physical fitness was this?
"Now, let me lure them away. You all take the opportunity to go to the Kōtetsujō."
As Mumei's words fell, her modified jet pistols continuously fired, easily blowing up the hearts of the surrounding Kabaneri.
Then, she jumped onto the rooftop as if weightless, firing to attract the Kabaneri's attention while moving away from Li Ge and the others.
"The time has come. After this last dangerous plot, we can complete the mission."
Li Ge spoke, waking up Zhan Lan and the others who were staring in a daze.
"Is this the heroine? She doesn't look very old, but she's so strong," Li Xiaoyi said excitedly.
As if thinking that he could also become like this after enhancement, Li Xiaoyi immediately started fantasizing.
With no Kabaneri around, Zhang Jie lit a cigarette and smiled, "Alright, stop fantasizing, kid. You'll all have a chance to be stronger than her in the future. Now, keep up with the team."
"Once we board the Kōtetsujō, we can return to the Main God Space alive."
Hearing Zhang Jie's words, everyone's hearts were filled with anticipation. Whether it was the desire to become a superhuman and gain power, or to leave this dangerous world, it made them want to complete the mission as soon as possible.
However, Li Ge knew that they still had to deal with a large number of Kabaneri next.
The Kōtetsujō was not that easy to board.
Following behind the team, which was constantly clearing scattered Kabaneri, Li Ge held his Steam Gun and looked at Jiuzhi Laiqi's back in the distance, falling into thought.
Should he take the opportunity to kill him later in the chaos to gain a chance to enhance himself?
Or should he target the protagonist who was about to appear?
If all else failed, he could just lie low for a while, and it seemed fine to return to the Main God Space, complete the exchange, and then come back to kill these people.
Li Ge thought for a while, looking at the scattered Kabaneri, and made up his mind.
He couldn't guarantee that he wouldn't encounter any accidents later, so it was better to have some strength at hand.
So, sorry Jiuzhi Laiqi, in order to survive, I'll take both your life and your power.
Mumei
Nohara Rin
