There are all kinds of weapons and communication equipment.
In fact, this is indeed a safe house of Mithril. He does not live alone, but lives with Cruzweiba and Melissa Mao, the three of them are in the same combat team.
Usually, Sosuke and Chidori provide close contact and protection, while the other two provide remote support.
"Today, the school encountered a monster and suffered damage during the battle. A compensation of 22 yen is required."
"It doesn't matter if you need compensation. Have you received any missions from the association?"
"Yes, I have obtained 35 merits in total. Do I need to hand them over to the headquarters?"
35 merits, that's actually a profit.
As an international mercenary organization, "Mithril" certainly knows about the existence of alien beasts, and it is inevitable to encounter alien beasts on a daily basis. However, in the entire Mithril, only a few people are lucky enough to join the "association". Sagara Sosuke is one of them, so only these limited few people can accept missions, get merits from the association, and exchange for various incredible items.
"No, your team will use it at their discretion. Although we haven't received any intelligence related to the threat to Chidori recently, the number of alien beasts is obviously increasing. Please be careful. Contact completed."
"Yes!"
After shutting down the communication, Sagara breathed a sigh of relief. He had thought that he would be reprimanded by the major.
Although he has been transferred to Tokyo for a long time, he still feels out of place in this city.
"Why, Sousuke, cheer up." Cruz poured beer into his mouth and put one hand on Sagara's shoulder.
Cruz is a blond man with good looks, the kind that could be on the cover of Playboy.
On weekdays, I take advantage of my status as a foreigner to chat up girls on the streets of Tokyo, with a success rate of over 90%.
"You eliminated the alien beasts in the school and saved a lot of people. Or is it that you are a hero that no one knows about, so you feel a little lonely?"
"That kind of thing doesn't matter. It's just that the alien beasts seem to be getting stronger and stronger."
Today it was just a small alien beast, but the high-energy explosives failed to kill it with one strike, and it was only destroyed after a few more shots.
In the past, such explosives would cause excessive damage when used against small alien beasts.
"The effectiveness of our weapons is decreasing. I'm worried that we won't be able to protect Chidori if we encounter a stronger Xenomorph."
"Can't you go to the society and exchange for some stronger weapons?"
"It's possible, but I don't have enough merit."
The task assigned to him by "Mithril" is to protect Chidori closely, and he cannot accept tasks from the association anywhere.
The probability of fighting with an alien beast is not high, unless you happen to meet one like today.
So with today's 35 merits, his merits barely exceeded . It was not enough to exchange for more powerful weapons.
At this time, the originally hung-up communication received another contact signal, still from Mithril Headquarters.
"This is Sosuke Sagara, Major..."
"Sousuke, it's me."
The voice on the other side interrupted Sousuke. It was not Major Kalinin, but a young girl.
"Ah, Colonel Tessa!"
Although they were separated by the communicator, Sagara stood at attention unconsciously.
Theresa Testarossa, the top leader of their Mithril Western Pacific branch. Although she was a colonel commander, she was actually a girl of the same age as Sagara.
She is extremely intelligent and can solve the Millennium Conjecture-level puzzles at the age of six, but she is a slender girl who will fall down when she walks.
This world, perhaps because of the outbreak of alien beasts, gave birth to a group of children who are capable of promoting the development of human technology.
With the intervention of human genetics, we have the "Son of Prometheus".
Tessa was born in Mithril and was not the result of the "Prometheus" plan, but she also showed leadership skills that ordinary people could not imagine.
"Sousuke, is the mission going well?"
"Yes! It went very smoothly."
"It's not good to force yourself. I have something to tell you. I'll wait for you in the hall of the association."
After hanging up the call again, Cruz whistled.
"It's a date. How romantic."
"Date? What do you mean?"
Sagara really didn't understand, he knew the literal meaning, and he also had the relevant information he usually looked up on how to live his daily life.
But that was just rote memorization. Once it happened to him, Sagara didn't understand it at all.
Tessa is another member of the Mithril cabal.
The image that Sagara chose in the association was certainly not his true self. Having lived behind enemy lines for a long time, he was well aware of the need for secrecy.
The image he chose wasn't even human.
It is a puppet in an amusement park wearing a hamster jacket and handing out balloons to people. It is called Pancake.
Sagara didn't know why this character was called this name, because he had seen it in the park before, and it was clearly called Bong Tai-kun.
But it was just a pancake, he didn't care about that.
"Good evening, Bungtai-kun."
The girl who appeared in front of him was not the first time that Sagara had met her in the association, so of course he knew that it was Tessa.
The image Tessa used was also not her own. She had the same long silver hair, but this image was much younger.
Remember the name is——
"Good evening, Colonel Illya."
"The 'Colonel' at the end is redundant. There is no colonel here. Have you adapted to school life?"
"Yes, no problem, mission well performed!"
"That's not what I'm asking... Well, forget it."
Every time Sagara treats her, he treats her like a subordinate treating his superior. This sometimes makes Tessa feel frustrated and makes her doubt her own charm as a woman.
Or does Sagara like those with explosive bodies and versatile sports like Chidori? Sports idiots and washboards are not what I want.
It was obviously me who knew Sagara first!
"Go... Illya, is there any mission?"
Tessa couldn't help but smile at the muffin standing in a serious military posture.
"That's not the case. I just wanted to ask if your mission was difficult. Sergeant Mao told me that the alien beasts are getting stronger and stronger recently, and it's difficult to deal with them."
"Yes, although the alien beast has indeed become stronger, I can still handle it so far!"
"That's not a good idea. If something unexpected happens, it will be troublesome and affect the mission. You don't have enough merits, right? I have a lot here that can be exchanged for the equipment you need."
Tessa did have a lot of achievements. Even though she was an idiot at sports, letting her fight the alien beasts on her own was simply a piece of cake.
But who can blame her for having an entire Mithril army under her command?
As long as we accept the mission, with the size of the army and the weapons exchanged by the association, it is not difficult to wipe out ordinary alien beasts.
"But this is your achievement..."
"No, this is Mithril's achievement. You are also a part of Mithril, aren't you? You are also carrying out Mithril's mission."
"My merits have already equipped a lot of equipment for the Mithril Troops. Since I can exchange it for others, for Sagara... ah, sorry, it's okay to exchange one for Matsumochi, right?"
Sagara wanted to say something, but Tessa had already walked to Miss Kenar in the hall.
"Ms. Kainaer, I want to exchange for a piece of high-strength equipment suitable for single-player combat."
Among single-person high-strength equipment, the strongest is of course the Ultra Armor, but it is not suitable for everyone.
For those who do not have enough R7 factor, that is, their light adaptability is insufficient, the armor will be completely useless even if they wear it.
Unfortunately, Sagara had tried it before, and he was not suitable. He was not suitable for light.
"In addition to the Ultra Armor, there is also a lower-level substitute for the single-person combat weapon AS."
"AS?"
"Even if you are not a light-adapted person, if your mental strength is particularly strong, you can use this weapon. It is equipped with the λ-Driver system."
This is Kainar's own technology, the materialization of mental power.
The energy principle of Sword Breaker is to materialize the spiritual power of a living being as a weapon.
"Can that AS let Muffuletta test it?"
"Of course, as a beginner, I recommend this ARX-7 crossbow. It is very cost-effective and requires relatively low mental strength."
"There is also the ARX-8 Blazing Demon Sword which is even more powerful, but it is not recommended for initial piloting as it consumes too much mental energy."
Chapter 520: Mysterious Technology
No one else knows how many members the society currently has, only Kainar knows.
There are 75 terminals issued that can log in to the association. Currently, there are 69 people logged in, and 6 of them will never be able to log in again.
They died in the battle with the alien beasts.
The association only provides opportunities and never forces others to accept tasks.
Whether they wanted merit or were motivated by the desire to protect humanity, they all stepped onto the battlefield of their own free will.
The battle with alien beasts is a life-and-death struggle. Everyone holds this awareness and sacrifice is inevitable. The reason why only 6 people have been sacrificed in the past few months is entirely because of Lingye's "Blue Mother". As long as there is still a breath, they can be rescued and alive and kicking in the next second.
Otherwise, this number may even increase tenfold.
The six people who died had their bodies devoured by the alien beasts, and even the "Blue Mother" could not save them.
In addition, high-quality weapons and sturdy armor are also essential.
If possible, Ling is also willing to equip every warrior who fights against the alien beasts with powerful equipment.
Unfortunately, not everyone can use the "Ultra Armor". To be precise, only a very small number of people can use the power of the "Ultra Armor". There are only a few people like Himeya, Komon, and Goroki. These people gradually gathered in the Night Raid Team, which is the forefront team of humans against alien beasts.
Even more people cannot exert their power even if they put on armor.
So instead, Ling asked Kainar to find a way to develop a substitute.
AS is a humanoid mecha with a height between 7 and 9 meters and a mass within 10 tons.
