NieR: Whirlpool

Chapter 340: People who are slow to realize

Two old trucks were driving slowly through the intricate, dark and humid sewers.

The engine speed is very low and the driving speed is extremely slow.

There was some faint noise coming from the direction of the entrance.

"What the hell is going on?" 22B rubbed his dizzy head, as if he was woken up.

vomit~

64B was clinging to the railing, retching violently.

"Did you hear any weird noise?" 22B asked loudly to his teammates in the two cars.

"What did you hear... Ugh..."

Case 64B, who was in the same car, looked pale. He turned his head to look at her in pain, then continued to vomit while holding onto the railing.

8B, who was also extremely nauseous, sat in the passenger seat and retched for a while.

She wiped the corner of her mouth and said, "Something is buzzing in my ears. It keeps buzzing."

The others who heard 22B's question did not speak, but just sat there quietly. Only A2 had a serious look on his face, staring in one direction.

The car continued to move forward, and a ray of light appeared in front of us.

"Ah... we're finally here..."

Everyone's faces turned pale, and they managed to show a hint of excitement.

Ok?

As if hearing some noise, A2 stood up from the car with a start, looking towards the exit with a serious look.

There was a slight sense of uneasiness in my heart.

"Assistant, can you detect the 9M black box signal?"

"Report: None found..."

Pod 042 looked embarrassed and hesitated to speak.

"What day is today?" A2 continued to ask with his brows still furrowed.

"Report: Today is September 9."

"That's right..."

A2 nodded slightly, looking at the exit that was getting closer and closer, thoughtfully.

On the weeds outside the pipeline,

"Ah... I'm finally out." 22B stretched his arms lazily, accepting the baptism of the sun.

"Hurry... help my sister..."

Feeling someone pulling her skirt, 22B looked down, only to see 64B lying in the car with a look of despair on her face, even rolling her eyes.

8B's figure tilted, and he knocked open the passenger door, then he staggered and almost fell to the ground.

"Carsickness... It's so uncomfortable..."

"11B, can you drive more steadily... ugh ugh..."

11B jumped down from the driver's seat and quickly stepped forward, gently patting 8B on the back.

"what's wrong?"

21O gently placed her hand on A2's shoulder and asked with concern.

A2 didn't look back, but just looked at the clouds in the sky, thinking.

"I forgot to take some things, so I need to go back. Everyone go to the coordinates first, I will be back soon."

A2 said to the people who got off the car to rest.

Hearing this, everyone was stunned.

"How can you be so careless, Miss A2..."

"Is it something very important..."

"Is it not okay not to take it..."

"I'll go with you..."

Listening to Yingying Yanyan's voice, A2's eyes flickered a little, but he still forced a smile:

"I'm sorry everyone, it's very important, I can go alone."

"Let me go with you!" 21O gently took A2's hand and winked at her.

"Ms. 21O..."

A2 bit her lip and nodded slightly.

Then she nodded firmly.

21O understood and turned to the crowd, saying, "A2 and I will go back together. You can take a rest here. You don't have to wait for us."

"Well, go quickly and come back soon."

After saying goodbye, A2, 21O, and aux. machine 042 turned and walked into the sewer.

"What happened just now?"

In the dark tunnel, the two walked quickly forward, and auxiliary machine 042 turned on the light, barely illuminating the road ahead.

Hearing A2's question, Assist 042 looked distressed, stretched out its small mechanical arm, and tapped its head.

"Report: I seem to have detected the black box signal of 9M, which is close to the signal of another black box.

They move very fast.

But even so...it shouldn't be...

Why did it suddenly disappear..."

A2 was shocked when he heard this and asked anxiously, "Where did it disappear to?"

The auxiliary machine thought for a moment and said, "They approached quickly from the sea surface in the east, and then disappeared... probably above our heads..."

"So, shall we go back to the beach?"

A2 paused, thought for a moment, and continued walking back the way he came:

“I feel very uneasy.

Moreover, September 9nd seems to be a special day.

Maybe something big will happen.”

21O analyzed the conversation between the two and asked at the right time:

"Do you feel that the coordinates were deliberately meant to lead us there?"

Hearing this, A2 showed a look of disbelief, nodded, and a look of anxiety appeared on his face.

21O relaxed her frown and continued, "Don't worry, someone probably doesn't want us to get involved.

Maybe it’s a way to protect us.”

A2 nodded: "I have a feeling that if we continue to move towards the underwater city, we will only get further and further away from him. So...

You shouldn’t have come along.”

21O smiled and said, "You should trust your own judgment."

"Thank you, Miss 21O..."

The two continued to move forward side by side. Suddenly, the pipe vibrated slightly and a cloud of dust fell.

The two of them were confused.

After a few breaths, there were continuous slight explosions, which they could hear very clearly.

【problem occurs! 】

The two looked at each other, nodded, and ran quickly back the way they came.

……

at the same time,

The continuous huge explosions spread all around and spread to far away places.

Everyone was lying on the grass, having just taken a rest, when a loud explosion was heard.

"The sound came from the center of the city." 64B looked sharply toward the northwest and shouted to everyone.

what! ?

Hearing this, everyone was shocked, looking at each other in disbelief.

"Oh no! We've been tricked!"

"Get in the car quickly!"

……

this! ?

The entrance has been sealed and is filled with sand and rubble.

The two of them immediately understood the general idea.

【Dig it! 】

The two looked at each other and started digging together.

At the same time, there was another violent explosion outside.

Hearing this, A2 became extremely anxious, his face looked extremely painful, and his hands couldn't help but speed up.

"Useless box, come and help!" She turned around anxiously and shouted to the auxiliary machine 042 who was watching.

“Oh… here it comes…”

The explosion lasted for a full minute.

Finally, the noise outside gradually subsided.

"do not want!"

As if she was surprised by something, she cried out in a sobbing voice, and her hands moved faster again.

My fingers were cut and bleeding.

His body, face, and originally clean clothes were covered with dust and dirt.

The quieter it was outside, the more uneasy she felt.

At this moment, she felt extremely regretful.

She regretted why she didn't think carefully and just listened to what others said.

21O was also extremely anxious, but managed to remain calm. She grabbed A2's bloody hands and whispered to him:

"Don't worry, there are explosives in the car."

Then, she turned to the auxiliary machine: "Contact the others quickly and bring explosives."

To understanding.

At the same time, there was movement outside again.

There was no sound of explosion, only the sound of swords clashing.

The sound was very faint through the thick rubble.

This is……

The sound of the HO fighter giant sword!

He is still alive!
