While Shikarabe loaded the wounded onto the transport, Akira and the others finished mopping up the last of the A24s in the area. That gave the entire team more room to breathe, but they weren’t in the clear just yet. All that gunfire had undoubtedly alerted other monsters to their presence, including the swarm of machines they’d broken through (without defeating) on the way here. If they hung around much longer, more robots would be here before they knew it.

Elena contacted Shikarabe. “What’s your status? I’d like us to be out of here within the next minute if possible.”

“Shouldn’t be a problem. We’re almost done on our end.”

“Understood. Then...” Her voice trailed off.

A new wave of enemy reinforcements had started to appear—an armored A24 had smashed through an upper floor window and was racing down the side of the building, aiming its artillery and machine gun at the defenders.

The next instant Akira gunned it down. Alpha’s scouting had revealed the monster’s presence beforehand, and Akira already had his CWH trained on a window just ahead of the machine’s path. The proprietary bullet punched through the A24’s torso. Its mangled husk fell from the building, landing on the roof of the transport vehicle with a deafening crash.

But the danger wasn’t over. More A24s began pouring from the other windows. Sara and Carol joined in fending them off, but it was impossible to take care of so many.

“Make that thirty seconds!” Elena shouted to Shikarabe.

“Roger that!” Inside the lobby, Shikarabe had no way of knowing what was going on outside. But he understood that something must’ve happened for Elena to shorten the time limit, so he hurried to evacuate everyone by the deadline, without a word of complaint.

At that moment, the remains of the destroyed A24s that had been used to block off one of the building’s corridors blew apart, and intact A24s poured in. The machines had broken through at last.

Shikarabe immediately took point and fired at the approaching horde. His bullets destroyed the newcomers, shredding them into a mountain of scrap metal that resembled the one that had just been blocking off the passage. But he couldn’t keep it up for long—the barricades sealing the other corridors were also being blasted apart one after another by the A24s on the other side. As Shikarabe retreated toward the entrance, he shouted to the other hunters, “We’re leaving! Hurry up!”

The hunters managed to load the last of the wounded into the vehicle. The A24s had already made it inside the lobby. Shikarabe didn’t stop shooting until he’d made it back to the transport and hopped aboard.

“Floor it, Togami!” he shouted as he manually slammed the back hatch shut. A moment later, a barrage of heavy artillery and gunfire struck the back of the transport. As if propelled forward by the impact, the armored transport peeled out of the area at maximum speed.

Akira and the rest of the team fell in right behind. Taking out all those A24s would’ve been difficult, but merely outrunning them in these vehicles was a cinch.
