NieR: Whirlpool

Chapter 368 Taking You Home

The top of Mount Kaala,

Lift entrance,

Anne Mourning pointed the gun at the woman in front of her.

The black cloth covering her eyes fell to the ground. Her eyes flashed scarlet, and her pretty cheeks became extremely hideous because of the pain.

"The 21st!"

"Don't come over here, ah..."

Number 21 knelt on the ground, holding his head in pain, and stopped Annie Morning from approaching him.

"Have you written down all the operating procedures?" Number 21 stopped struggling, slowly raised his head, and stared at Annie Morning calmly with his scarlet eyes.

"I've made a note of it..."

"Then, come on!"

She opened her arms, exposing her chest, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a sunny smile.

"The 21st..."

"Do it!"

"Is this the only way..."

She looked at her hesitant comrades, feeling bitter.

Her expression became extremely ferocious.

She endured the severe pain, rushed to her comrade's gun, and grabbed the bolt tightly.

bang~

Under Annie Morning's astonished gaze, her body slowly fell down with a happy smile on her lips.

Twenty-first,

Killed in action!

……

The last team was blocked in the lobby in front of the server.

Hundreds of elite mechanical life forms appeared all around them, surrounding them tightly.

Swords flashed, bullets flew, bombs exploded,

The fierce battle is over.

Under Rose's forced order, Daisy had no choice but to take the unconscious Lily back to the elevator and leave.

"team leader……"

"Excuting an order!"

"Yes……"

Daisy was crying her heart out. She held Lily in her arms and ran towards the elevator with heavy steps.

"Captain! You..."

"It's out of the way."

Rose signaled Cabela to keep quiet and looked at the two remaining YoRHa members.

"Let's go quickly."

Cabela endured the severe pain and looked at Rose who had a miserable expression.

Noticing the looks from the team members, Rose smiled bitterly and shook her head.

Buttoned up the cloak,

Cover up the red military uniform.

"Everyone, quickly place the explosives!"

As soon as he finished speaking, hundreds of elite mechanical creatures hidden in the surroundings rushed out.

Fighting with four people.

"Number Two! Not enough explosives!"

"Be careful, deal with the enemy first."

"team leader!"

"asshole!"

"Capella! Be careful!"

"Captain Rose!"

"Number four!"

Rose and Cabela's figures were submerged in the mechanical lifeforms.

No more roars could be heard.

There was a spear stuck in No. 4's chest, and blood dyed the corners of his mouth red. His usually lively face now looked extremely bleak.

Several mechanical life forms quickly approached her.

The sharp weapon flashed with cold light.

"Number four!"

Number Two stood up and rushed towards Number Four with a roar.

Huh~~~

Three mechanical life forms were chopped to the ground and exploded.

She was already exhausted, and the mechanical creature's dying blow knocked her to the ground.

"I'm sorry! I killed you." She crawled on the ground, tightly grasped No. 4's hand, and burst into tears.

Number Four had tears in his eyes and was crying.

"...No, No. 2. We all decided to come here on our own..."

"Thank you...for giving us a reason to live..."

Dozens of mechanical life forms quickly approached the two men, holding their spears high.

"stop!!!"

"Come on..."

She pushed No. 2 away with all her strength, turned around and rushed into the encirclement of the mechanical lifeforms.

Her figure was obscured by the mechanical creature, and the flowing black skirt could no longer be seen.

There was an explosion that shook the heavens and the earth, and the server and the mechanical creatures were reduced to ashes.

Cabela, Rose, Number Four,

Killed in action!

……

bunker,

Command Room,

"Stop me from forging an order to send the K2 area's Jaegers to support them on Oahu."

"Similarly, the space-based satellites have already been in place, but why are they not being launched?"

Futaba was disheartened and asked with a pale face.

"Futaba, stop talking nonsense!" Yotsuba tried to stop Futaba from talking without restraint.

"Commander! You have the heart to watch them die..."

“…It makes sense to do this…”

“Haha… Is this the meaning of my existence?”

"Futaba! Commander!"

"In this case... I request humane destruction..."

"Futaba! What are you going to do!?"

"Futaba! You…"

Futaba moved weakly, with a bleak smile on her face, and walked outside.

"Commander..."

With tears in her eyes, Clover looked at White who was also leaving.

Her back looked extremely lonely.

……

On the other side, Daisy and Lily encountered a mechanical life form in the elevator transfer corridor.

In the end, they were outnumbered and drowned in the torrent of steel.

Daisy, Lily,

Killed in action!

All contact with teammates was lost, and no life signals came from the terminal equipment.

Annie Morning knelt on the ground, staring into the distance with dull eyes, and did not leave for a long time.

"does it worth?"

……

In the white room, the three people had different expressions and did not speak for a long time.

"The girl named 'Number Two' seems to be still alive."

"Sir, are you okay?"

Glancing at Ye Feng, the female N2 suddenly felt curious.

She vaguely felt that this strange man seemed to have a strange emotion.

This emotion seems to be called sadness.

"Nothing, I just feel sorry for them." Ye Feng rubbed his eyes, stood up, and nodded slightly to N2:

"Well, thank you both girls for your help, I'll take my leave."

"Sir! I hope you will come often."

Ye Feng raised the corners of his mouth slightly, nodded, and waved goodbye to N2.

Under N2's gaze, his figure disappeared on the spot.

The next moment,

Ye Feng appeared in the bombed server room.

There was no living creature to be seen around.

The fire burned fiercely and the smoke spread along the passage, filling every inch of space.

"A2..."

Under the ruins was a battered girl.

The red flames shone through the smoke onto her face, like a stubborn rose.

Ye Feng leaned down and gently stroked her cheek.

The tears in the corners of his eyes mixed with the dust, and his face was full of sadness.

Her black box was sending out a faint signal.

Ye Feng moved his mind and gently healed the wounds on her body.

【Hide the black box signal! 】

There seems to be a remote-controlled explosion program in the black box.

【tear down!】

After doing all this, Ye Feng held her tightly in his arms and put his face against hers.

“Sorry, A2.

That’s all I can do.”

Then, he gently placed the bruised girl on the ground.

He leaned down and kissed those cracked lips.

"I will protect you!"

Ye Feng walked away slowly, looking extremely lonely.

I don’t know how long I’ve been gone,

He flashed,

Subsequently,

Standing proudly in the void, he waved his right hand.

"Brave warriors, follow me."

Several illusory figures appeared in front of him.

He opened his left hand and released the data that N2 had given him.

The data particles condensed into fifteen girls dressed in black.

They closed their eyes tightly, as if they were asleep.

"They shouldn't have died here!"

Ye Feng grabbed with his right hand,

The dozen figures in front of him turned into a ray of light and condensed into a golden ball of light in the palm of his hand.

"I'll take you away right now!"
