Kryptonians: Man of Steel

Chapter 1386 Searching
Monsters, ghosts, and supernatural events, these things that once only existed in legends are now appearing in people's lives.

The originally peaceful world order was broken, and panic spread among the people like a virus.

Practitioners are humanity's only hope in fighting against these evil forces.

However, the whereabouts of those unknown practitioners remain a mystery, and governments around the world are not sure where they are hiding.

Therefore, the existing response forces are particularly important and must be given full attention.

The military will definitely be involved in the operation, even if previous supernatural events seem to show that human military weapons are not very effective.

Conventional firearms and artillery are often ineffective when facing monsters and demons with strange powers.

Bullets might pass through their bodies without causing any effect, and bomb explosions might simply stir up a puff of smoke without causing any substantial harm to them.

However, the military cannot leave everything to a group of high school students.

After all, the country has a professional military force. If even the military stands aside, people will inevitably question: What are they doing? Why not just let these high school students run the government?

If you can't do anything about it, just step down.

Such public pressure is gradually fermenting among the people, and the government is also facing a huge test.

There was no need for them to press the issue, as the prime minister there was already preparing to step down.

The domestic situation has become turbulent due to the frequent occurrence of supernatural events, and people's trust in the government has dropped sharply.

The cabinet has now decided to expand the size and power of the Supernatural Hall.

Because it was obvious that they were fully aware that the world was heading in a direction unknown to them, so some changes had to happen.

The Supernatural Department was originally just a department that dealt with some small-scale paranormal incidents, with relatively limited personnel and equipment.

But now, faced with an increasingly serious situation, the cabinet has decided to invest more resources to build it into a core agency capable of dealing with large-scale supernatural threats.

However, in an environment like Mount Fuji, tanks cannot be driven up, so only helicopters can be used.

Mount Fuji, as one of the symbols of the island country, has complex terrain, steep mountains, and is covered with snow all year round.

Heavy equipment such as tanks have great difficulty moving in this terrain and can easily get stuck in the mud or be blocked by steep slopes.

Helicopters have the advantage of flexibility and maneuverability, and can quickly transport personnel and supplies to designated locations.

The Self-Defense Forces and the newly formed "Special Operations Team of the Supernatural Agency" carefully moved into the inaccessible areas of Mount Fuji.

They knew that there might be evil monsters hiding here and every step was full of danger.

The Special Operations Team of the Supernatural Department is composed of elite members gathered from the "Special Assault Team SAT".

The Special Assault Force SAT has a unique position in the island country's military system. It is the only force in the island country that is truly combat-capable and has anti-terrorism capabilities, and has a clear gap with the Self-Defense Forces.

From the perspective of the selection mechanism, the recruitment of the Self-Defense Forces is relatively relaxed.

It is open to the general public, and as long as you meet the basic physical conditions, age requirements and educational requirements, you have the opportunity to join.

The recruitment criteria mainly focus on physical fitness and basic military skills, and the training period is relatively short, generally from a few months to about a year.

The training content mainly includes conventional military training, such as drill training, firearms use, tactical basics, etc.

This selection and training mechanism has resulted in a large number of personnel in the Self-Defense Forces, but their overall quality is uneven. The selection of the special assault force SAT is very strict.

It is selected only from the elite of the police force, and these soldiers must possess excellent physical fitness, sharp reaction ability and strong psychological quality.

The selection process includes multiple rounds of rigorous assessments, such as physical fitness tests, shooting tests, psychological tests, etc.

In the physical fitness test, candidates need to complete high-intensity physical tasks within a specified time, such as long-distance running, weighted climbing, swimming, etc.

In the shooting test, candidates are required to accurately hit the target in various complex environments.

The psychological test mainly examines the candidate's ability to withstand pressure, adaptability and teamwork. Only soldiers who pass all the tests have the opportunity to join the special assault force SAT.

In terms of training, the training cycle of the Special Assault Force SAT lasts for several years.

The training content not only includes the basic military skills of the Self-Defense Forces, but also covers advanced skills such as counter-terrorism, hostage rescue, and special operations.

The team members will receive professional combat training and learn various fighting techniques and grappling techniques to cope with close combat. They will also undergo blasting training to master the use and removal of various explosives.

In addition, psychological training is also an important part. By simulating various extreme scenarios, the team members can be trained to be calm and decisive in high-pressure environments.

In terms of equipment, the Self-Defense Forces are relatively well-equipped. They are mainly equipped with conventional weapons such as ordinary rifles, machine guns, tanks, armored vehicles, etc. These weapons can play a certain role in dealing with traditional wars, but they are powerless when facing supernatural events.

The Special Assault Team SAT has advanced special equipment.

They are equipped with high-precision sniper rifles that can accurately hit targets at long distances.

There are also silenced pistols for concealed shooting during secret missions.

In addition, they also have advanced night vision goggles, thermal imagers and other equipment, which can clearly observe targets at night or in harsh environments.

In terms of actual combat capabilities, the Self-Defense Forces can play a certain role in dealing with some conventional military conflicts and natural disasters.

But when faced with terrorist attacks and supernatural events, their performance is often unsatisfactory.

The special assault team SAT demonstrated strong combat capabilities.

They have successfully carried out anti-terrorism missions many times and rescued hostages held by terrorists.

It is precisely because the Special Assault Force SAT possesses such powerful combat and anti-terrorism capabilities that the Supernatural Hall will recruit elites from among them to form the Supernatural Hall Special Operations Team.

As soon as they entered the forest of Mount Fuji, they encountered unknown creatures.

"Unknown target found!"

The captain shouted immediately.

The captain is an experienced veteran who has participated in many anti-terrorist operations and has keen insight and decisive decision-making ability.

At this moment, his eyes revealed vigilance and seriousness, and he stared at the swaying woods in front of him.

"Permission to fire!"

The captain gave the order. Because they were dealing with supernatural forces, all the weapons they carried were replaced with American equipment, all of which were large-caliber firearms.

These guns have powerful firepower and penetration, and can cause effective damage to some supernatural creatures.
