As a weirdo, I like being a Kamen Rider

"Kill everyone? Then who will grow the crops? Who will maintain the water and electricity?"

"Without civilian support, even if we occupy Tokyo, we won't last a month! We should send envoys to negotiate, exchange supplies, and restore basic order!"

"You can't win people's hearts with force; he who wins the hearts of the people wins the world! Your crazy approach will only lead the alliance to its demise!"

Radicals criticize moderates as cowardly and incompetent. Moderates criticize radicals as short-sighted.

The verbal dispute escalated into a physical altercation. The command center was in complete chaos, filled with shouts and curses.

Kurosaki, whose head was already throbbing with pain, looked increasingly pale. The pain in his chest worsened due to his emotional distress.

"enough!"

Ryuichi Kurosaki slammed his hand on the table, the loud noise silencing the entire room.

Everyone stopped what they were doing and turned to look at him. He clutched his chest, coughed twice, and a trickle of blood escaped from the corner of his mouth.

"Can arguing and making a scene solve anything? Both of your proposals are nothing but empty, theoretical nonsense!"

Kurosaki's eyes were sinister as he swept over everyone present.

"A brute-force assault? That's suicide! If we exhaust our fighting strength, we'll only let the mutated monsters and G3 reap the benefits!"

"Peace talks? In chaotic times, there is no absolute power. Peace talks are a joke; no one will truly submit!"

"Get out of here, all of you!"

Kurosaki waved his hand, his face so gloomy it could drip water.

"I will make my own decision on what to do next."

"You have no right to interfere here!" The higher-ups, with varying expressions, turned and left angrily.

No one noticed the fleeting murderous intent in Kurosaki's eyes.

After leaving the house, the radical leader immediately gathered his cronies.

He planned to take matters into his own hands and forcibly clear out the surrounding small gathering points.

The moderate leader secretly organized supplies and contacted his subordinates.

He planned to secretly send envoys to contact other survivor factions.

Kurosaki sat in the commander's chair and let out a long sigh. He pressed the pager.

"Call medical staff over to treat the wound."

Soon, two medical staff members carrying medicine kits pushed open the door and entered.

They carefully cut open Kurosaki's shirt, revealing his bruised chest.

The pain of the fracture was clear and piercing, but Kurosaki remained unfazed.

He stared intently at the map of Tokyo on the wall, his eyes deep in thought.

The radicals' madness, the moderates' naiveté.

He dislikes them all and will not adopt any of their suggestions.

In chaotic times, only those who are patient and strategic can have the last laugh. This time, he became careless because the situation was too smooth.

Head-on confrontation has never been his style. No matter how strong Lin Chen is, he can't withstand prolonged exhaustion.

Even with its shortage of supplies, G3 base couldn't withstand the endless consumption.

Kurosaki already had a complete plan in mind.

The first step is to select loyal and elite members and eliminate the incompetent. There are too many mediocre people in the alliance, who only waste resources. Only by keeping loyal and capable members can we reduce internal strife.

The second step is to sit back and watch the two fight, letting G3 and the mutated monster wear each other down. Once they are both severely weakened, he will then strike and reap the rewards. Without losing a single soldier, he can weaken his two biggest opponents.

The third step is to secretly develop a device to suppress superpowers. This will allow them to control all awakened individuals at their source and eliminate any possibility of rebellion.

The fourth step is to firmly defend the core area of ​​Ginza and gradually encroach on surrounding resources.

Don't rush to attack G3 base; wait until the enemy runs out of supplies. Lin Chen is very strong, but he can't hold out forever. As long as we drag this out, victory will eventually be ours.

Chapter 90 The Angel Descends

Two days have passed since Kurosaki Ryuichi was defeated and retreated from the G3 base.

G3 base has also raised its combat readiness level, with all personnel on 24-hour alert and all defensive barriers activated.

Lin Chen has barely slept a wink these past two days, constantly on patrol.

He never withdrew his senses for a moment, and the entire area within a radius of several hundred meters centered on himself was covered by the perception barrier.

He could sense any superpowered individuals on the verge of losing control along the way and resolve the situation before they began to mutate.

Taking advantage of a rare moment of free time, Lin Chen calmed his mind and, with a thought, directly summoned the system in his consciousness.

I'm one step closer to reaching 100 points in all attributes in human form. I wonder if I'll get any new abilities to surprise me this time.

Just as I put the system panel away, a series of heavy footsteps approached from afar, accompanied by the soft clanging of metal.

He looked over and saw Hikawa Makoto carrying a helmet and wearing the complete G3-X armor, walking towards him step by step.

The silver-gray armor surface was covered with a thin layer of dust, and there were some unknown stains on the edges, which were obviously traces of long-term wear.

"Aren't you tired of wearing it all the time?" Lin Chen asked first.

Hikawa Makoto stopped in his tracks, his voice firm: "These are chaotic times. Unknown attacks could occur at any moment outside the base. Any negligence could lead to disaster."

He paused, then added, "Wearing the armor at all times allows me to respond immediately to any unexpected situation. Also, the weight of the armor is perfect for weight training, which will help me get used to it better."

Lin Chen looked at him quietly, nodded slightly, and didn't ask any more questions.

In the brief silence, the communicators on their waists suddenly emitted a buzzing sound, and Ozawa Sumiko's voice came through: "Lin Chen, Hikawa Makoto, head to the training room immediately."

Lin Chen and Bingchuan Cheng didn't dare to delay and immediately set off towards the training room.

Pushing open the training room door, the two were immediately drawn to the figure in the center of the room—a newly modified armored vehicle stood there quietly, its blue metallic shell gleaming coldly, its overall outline not much different from the G3-X that Hikawa Makoto was wearing at the moment.

“This is the upgraded G3, officially named G3-II.” Sumiko Ozawa stood beside the armor, her fingertips gently tracing the armor’s breastplate, her tone full of confidence in her work. “Compared to G3-X and the old G3, its defense, firepower, and mobility have been comprehensively enhanced. In particular, the neural connection system has been optimized, and the latency has been greatly reduced, allowing the wearer’s movements to be transmitted to the armor more smoothly, making it easier to control.”

After saying that, she turned around and looked at Hojo Toru standing to the side. Her tone became serious: "Hojo, from today onwards, you will be the uniformed officer of G3-II."

Upon hearing this, Hojo Toru raised an eyebrow slightly, his face remaining expressionless, even retaining his usual coldness, but a subtle, almost imperceptible seriousness flickered deep within his eyes. Without hesitation, he stepped forward and initiated the dressing process.

The next second, the clicking sound of machinery filled the training room. The armor components of the G3-II seemed to come alive, rapidly disassembling and covering the body from the shoulder and chest plates down the limbs. Each metal plate precisely matched and tightly fastened, firmly encasing Hojo Toru's body. A moment later, the helmet slowly fell down.

After completing his attire, Hojo raised his hand, turned, and stepped forward with fluid and natural movements. His beam rifle was steady from the moment he raised his hand, his joints exerted precise force, showing no signs of a novice's awkwardness.

"The compatibility is actually that high?" Ozawa couldn't help but exclaim. Hojo Toru snorted, with his usual arrogance. "I'm no worse than Hikawa."

Lin Chen and Bingchuan also noticed it. Hojo's physical attributes and combat instincts were already top-notch. Coupled with the G3 upgrade, his combat power was directly maximized.

“Perfect,” Ozawa said. “Hikari, you will spar with Hojo to test your combat skills.”

"Understood!" the two replied in unison. Lin Chen, Xiao Ze, and the other technicians then turned and left the training room to observe from the outside.

The training room doors closed, and the battle began instantly.

Glacier controls the G3-X with a steady and methodical approach, excelling in both offense and defense. Its beam shooting is precise, and its close-quarters combat is solid, reflecting a typical veteran's fighting style.

Hojo, on the other hand, is more ruthless and cunning. He maximizes the mobility of the G3 Kai, using it for flanking maneuvers, surprise attacks, and precision strikes.

The two exchanged blows, their beams of light clashing, accompanied by the constant clanging of metal.

After thirty rounds, the fight was still even. Hikawa had the advantage in explosive power and defense, while Hojo had the advantage in agility and precision.

The two armored vehicles were evenly matched and fought a fierce and evenly contested battle.

The technicians who were watching were overjoyed. "Great! The base has gained another core combat force!"

Sumiko Ozawa stared at the armored vehicles on the field, her gaze wandering, lost in thought.

...

Meanwhile, the New Human Alliance in Ginza is expanding rapidly.

The radical leader, Juro Kamiya, has secretly seized nine survivor settlements in the past two days. He has a fiery temper, but he's not a mindless killer. He only kills the rebel leaders, bringing the remaining survivors back to Ginza.

Population, resources, and labor were all taken into their possession.

The moderate defenders of Xinhuan took a conciliatory approach, negotiating with each household with rations and medicine, promising shelter and distributing supplies.

Without losing a single soldier, they subjugated five settlements. In just two days, the alliance's power surged, and Kurosaki Ryuichi reaped the benefits.

He didn't interfere in the conflict between the two factions; he only focused on reaping the benefits.
