Chapter 2:There's a traitor among us!
_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-
The appearance of the virtual screen startled Liz.
But his gaze immediately fell on the others.
The others continued to move forward slowly. They were all very cautious, not to mention the virtual screen popping up. They were probably frightened by the slightest sound.
"First stage?" Liz muttered to himself, his gaze involuntarily falling on the middle of the group.
The next moment, a series of information appeared in his field of vision.
[Lin Xin, female, 23 years old, no obvious characteristics]
[An ordinary female office worker, timid; Lin Yu in the group is her younger sister.]
[Level Determination: No Combat Power]
"...Even the font is Bland, are you taking the civil service exam?"
For Liz, this power called authority was completely foreign.
But given the current situation, it didn't seem to be of much use, and my mind quickly returned to calm.
He refocused his attention on the factory in front of him. The Zerg could attack at any moment, so he had to stay on high alert at all times!
At this moment, the entire team is gradually approaching the actual entrance to the factory.
"Coo coo coo"
The moment more than ten people stepped into the factory entrance, a slight noise reached everyone's ears.
"What...what is that sound?" A girl in the middle asked, her voice trembling.
Everyone's eyes were on their surroundings, but apart from the various chemical plant instruments and pipes, there was nothing unusual.
"I heard it too, it must be the sound of some kind of machine." The one who spoke was the burly man at the front, but his tone was clearly lacking in confidence.
Anyone could tell that the sound belonged to a living being, not a machine.
The reason they described it as the sound of a machine was simply to avoid causing panic within their team.
"We're not far from the detonation site. Just hold on a little longer, and we'll succeed!" the burly man said again, trying to boost morale.
As for Liz at the very back, he quietly took two steps back.
His eyes were also on his surroundings, ready to react immediately to any movement.
Just as the group moved forward again, a dark shadow appeared on the ground in front of Liz and gradually approached.
The moment he saw the shadow on the ground, Liz's pupils constricted sharply beneath his helmet!
He was clearly at the back of the group, so how could there be anyone behind him?
Given the strange noises that occurred as soon as we entered the factory, there's only one answer: the only thing behind us could be an Zerg.
Liz moved his right index finger and pressed it against the brake switch that had popped out from the machine gun blade.
He cannot make any move now, being at the closest distance to the Zerg, and will naturally be the first to be attacked.
Even with the protection of the enhanced suit, being hit by a Zergling and, if lucky, not dying instantly, would be as badly injured as if one were dead.
If others are informed of the abnormal situation, how many people will be able to calmly fire back when the Zerg reveals its true form?
Just then, Liz suddenly turned around and asked, "Brother, do you prefer black stockings or white stockings?"
"Huh?" The 'ant soldiers' behind him, who had all raised their right hands, were stunned.
"White, white stockings, right?" the 'ant soldier' replied, while secretly withdrawing its small hand.
Liz stared at the 'ant soldiers', his eyes revealing information.
[Wang Qiang (Mimicry), Zerg, larval stage]
[He is mimicking a deceased member of Squad D, and is currently coordinating with his comrades in a coordinated operation from within.]
[Rank: F-class monster]
[Zerg (larva): A life form from outside Earth, possessing a highly defensive exoskeleton, capable of mimicking humans in all aspects, including appearance, memory, and abilities. Its weakness lies in its face.]
"White stockings?!!, my family, we have a traitor among us!!" Liz's voice echoed through the factory.
Swish swish swish.!
Almost simultaneously, the squad that was moving stopped and looked back at the back of the line.
"No, no, no, I'm not! He's talking nonsense! I like black stockings! I really like black stockings!" 'Ant Soldier' said urgently, as if he was really trying to explain himself.
"Family members! Something dirty has gotten in!" Liz shouted at almost the same time.
But with his right hand secretly pressing the machine gun sword against the 'ant soldier's' waist, he pressed the brake switch without hesitation.
*Pfft!*
The blade that shot out instantly pierced his waist.
Even when the blade pops out, it only pierces the superficial layer of the skin.
Even if the blade only penetrates to a shallow depth, it is enough to achieve Liz's goal!
Because everyone noticed the green blood dripping down the blade.
"That...that's...green blood!!"
"Something dirty! Something dirty!"
"Holy crap! What kind of thing can have green blood?"
Almost simultaneously, the men in the squad raised their machine gun swords and aimed them at the 'ant soldier'.
Liz immediately jumped out, giving the Zerg no chance to make a move, and pressed the trigger the instant he jumped out.
Da da da—!
The machine guns spewed fire, and bullets rained down on the 'ant soldiers'.
With Liz taking the lead, the others followed suit and pulled the trigger.
Countless bullets struck the 'ant soldiers', instantly repelling them!
"Coo coo coo!!!" After taking a few steps back, the 'ant soldier' made an extremely strange sound.
Then a white light emanated from his body, revealing his true form in full view of everyone.
Its entire body is covered in a green pupal shell, and its eyes are even stuck in a pair of Zerg legs. The Zerg eyes all over its body give people a creepy feeling.
Accompanied by the low growls of the Zerg, several Zerg emerged from various corners of the factory.
The Zerg had a unified goal and all swarmed towards the central squad.
"What are these green bugs?!"
"Why are our weapons completely useless?"
"Those are monsters! We're all finished!"
Fear and despair spread, and several people around Liz collapsed to the ground, so the attack naturally stopped.
Such a scene made his heart sink. Their firepower was already insufficient, and now they had lost the firepower of several people. It was only a matter of time before the Zerg killed them.
Bang--!
With a muffled thud, a strange Zerg flew straight past the group.
"I will defeat all the Zerg!" As the words were spoken, a purple figure suddenly came into everyone's view.
Its green compound eyes, resembling scorpion pincers, emitted a faint glow. Its iconic scorpion tail formed its head, and the armor on its body, with purple scorpions coiled around it, revealed an unusual beauty.
[Tsurugi Kamishiro (Mimicry), Zerg, Adult Stage]
[Rank: E-rank Rider ]
[Rider System:Sasword-Kabuto series]
[Rider State: Rider Form]
[ZECT Second Generation Rider System, the basic form of Cast Off (molting) based on Kamen Rider Form, wielding the Sasword Yaiver as a weapon, with overall increased fighting power, explosive power, and agility.]
[With the mimicry personality suppressing the will of the Scorpion Zerg, and the goal being to defeat all the Zerg, the possibility of the Zerg Will going berserk is extremely high.]
"Big sister!!!"
Just when things seemed to be taking a turn for the better, a sharp sound pierced the air.
When everyone looked in the direction of the sound, what appeared before them was a figure lying in a pool of blood.
Liz recognized the person lying on the ground at a glance.
He had examined the woman named Lin Xin, and not far from her, the right claw of a strange Zerg was stained with scarlet blood.
Bang--!
Sparks flew as the Sasword Yaiver struck the Zerg before it.
Tsurugi Kamishiro's gaze was not on the Zerg at all, but instead fixed on Lin Xin, who was lying on the ground.
"Sister," Tsurugi Kamishiro murmured, seemingly lost in a memory.
Such a scene made Liz's heart clench.
Okay, okay.
He thought that with the arrival of Tsurugi Kamishiro, he could finally relax and play the game without worry.
Who would have thought there would be an older sister in the group?
It might even trigger the awakening of the Zerg themselves. Liz didn't even dare to think about the awakening of the scorpion Zerg.
However, the next moment, the Sasword Yaiver suddenly moved!
"I will absolutely defeat all the Zerg!!!" The moment the words were spoken, Tsurugi Kamishiro suddenly activated the Poison Scorpion Zerg Device.
The scorpion-shaped Zerg device was activated by raising its tail and pressing the button, instantly causing a flash of purple electricity.
With the electronic sound effect "Rider Slash!", purple arcs of electricity emanate from the scorpion Zerg device, swimming toward its head before returning to the blade.
Poison dripped from the blade as Tsurugi Kamishiro simultaneously swung the blade in his hand.
Swish, swish, swish! ! !
Three purple slashing waves shot out, heading towards the Zerg positions in various parts of the factory.
The slashing wave was extremely fast, almost instantly sweeping past several Zerg. The Zerg had no ability to resist and exploded into green flames the moment they made contact.
In the blink of an eye, the Zerg disappeared from everyone's sight.
"When did our technology become so advanced?"
"You don't know anything about market trade, that's called RoboCop!"
"Who cares what it is? At least we survived, things will be easier from now on!"
The members of Squad D all collapsed to the ground, looking as if they had just survived a disaster.
Upon hearing his teammate's words, Liz almost blurted out, "Why the hell didn't you just say it's Kamen Rider ?!"
Tsurugi Kamishiro, not far away, paused briefly before stepping into a deeper area.
Liz, who noticed this, glanced at the others and then followed after them.
Hanging far behind Tsurugi Kamishiro, Liz couldn't help but ponder.
If I remember correctly, most of the Rider's will appear in the Zerg Factory storyline.
Although following Tsurugi Kamishiro might be somewhat dangerous, it's definitely safer than staying with that squad.
Thud!
Before Liz could finish his thought, Tsurugi Kamishiro in front of him leaned precariously against the wall.
"Damn it, it's coming for me!" At that moment, Liz's heart was in his throat.
"I can feel its power!" Tsurugi Kamishiro's voice trembled, as if he were in great pain.
Without the slightest hesitation, Liz turned and ran.
If he hesitated even for a moment, it would be disrespectful to the Scorpion Zerg.
Just kidding, in terms of physical fitness alone, the Scorpion Zerg is definitely one of the top performers!
But the step he had just taken suddenly stopped.
Since Tsurugi Kamishiro has deactivated his transformation, does that mean he can...?
"Where exactly is this?!" The voice that rang out behind him turned into a beastly growl in an instant.
At this moment, Liz turned his head slowly, trying his best to observe the situation behind him out of the corner of his eye.
The original position of Tsurugi Kamishiro has been replaced by a silver Zerg.
The silver Zerg was covered by a hollow silver shell, with a claw on its right arm and a pincer-like shield on its left. Tentacles like a scorpion's tail hung down from its head to the back.
[Zerg, adult stage]
[Possesses the same abilities as a scorpion, has an extremely tough exoskeleton, and its entire body is covered in thorns that are highly venomous.]
[Rank: D-class monster]
[Currently driven by the Zerg's will, they are seeking a more powerful adversary.]
The scorpion-like Zerg growled and then flew away in the other direction.
"Time to lick the box!" The footsteps belonging to the Scorpion Zerg faded into the distance, and Liz instantly relaxed. "Hmm, that was a bit of a hellish joke."
After muttering to himself, Liz arrived at the spot where the scorpion Zerg had started to lean against the wall.
Just as he had expected, the Sasword Yaiver, entirely purple-silver, lay quietly on the ground, at his mercy.
The sudden awakening of the Zerg's will meant that Kenjiro had no time to properly put away his transformation device.
"This is the Kamen Rider Driver." Liz held the sword blade, and it would be a lie to say he wasn't excited.
After all, no one can refuse to become a Kamen Rider!!
"Sasword Zecter!" Liz swung his sword slightly and attempted to summon the Zerg device needed for his transformation.
The Zerg Device is one of the essential transformation items for Kabuto-type Riders, requiring the Transformation Driver to complete the transformation.
"."
The worst thing is when the air suddenly becomes quiet, without any sound, which says it all.
"Cough, being a Kamen Rider isn't as easy as it seems." Liz wasn't discouraged.
Perhaps he'll be able to transform in a moment of crisis.
"Coo coo coo"
Before Liz could even warm the blade in his hand, a series of low roars rang out from not far away.
The low growl made his lips twitch.
"They really don't let people rest for a moment." Without time to hesitate, Liz immediately tore off his belt and tightly bound the sword blade to his hand.
The moment the front foot was tied up, a strange Zerg emerged from behind, only about ten meters away from Liz.
"I'm coming!"
This time, Liz took the initiative to meet the Zerg. After a running start, he suddenly swung his sword and slashed diagonally downwards.
As the Zerg slashed down diagonally, it also swung out its right claw to attack!
Clang!
Amidst a cacophony of metallic clangs, countless sparks flew.
Both sides were jolted back several steps by the shock, but then regained their footing.
"Goo!!" The Zerg roared and swayed its body as it charged toward Liz.
Liz gritted his teeth and made the same rushing motion as the Zerg.
Both sides charged at each other without any hesitation, as if avoiding the option was not an option in their eyes!
But just a few meters away from the Zerg, Liz suddenly stopped, and in the instant he regained his balance, he took a step back with his right foot, gripped the Sasword Yaiver with both hands, and pressed it against his chest.
*Pfft!*
With a crisp, piercing sound, the Zerg's savage body slammed into Liz.
Bang--!
The Zerg lunches forward rapidly, pressing against Liz.
Even though Liz was exerting all his strength, he couldn't stop the Zerg from advancing. The veins on his hands bulged, and even his eyes were bloodshot from using all his strength.
The Zerg' strength far exceeded Liz's expectations; they only slowly stopped after pushing him several meters away.
The Sasword Yaiver pierced upwards from the Zerg's mouth, completely disappearing into the Zerg's body.
boom!!!
The Zerg's body exploded with a deafening roar, and a wave of green flames sent Liz flying. He rolled several times on the ground before finally coming to a stop.
Liz, who was lying on the ground, had his face charred black by the flames.
Thud—da da da
The ground shattered, and a purple mechanical scorpion crawled out from underground and came to Liz's side.
"What, you want to host a banquet for me?" Looking at the scorpion Zerg device beside him, Liz really wanted to make a certain international friendship gesture.
But he didn't do it, definitely not because he was afraid of being stung by poisonous scorpions or Zerg!
