Great, we're doomed now!

The Crow People incident was the first substantial contact between humanity and extraterrestrial civilization, and it's somewhat regrettable that I wasn't there.

But aside from personal preferences, the most important point is that intelligence analysis on the Crow People will influence and even determine the course of human civilization—Sawai is extremely worried.

Furthermore, we must also be wary of the United States... not just the United States, but strictly speaking, all major powers must be guarded against.

It's obvious they want the Crow people's spaceship and technology, and ideally, they'd want to possess it exclusively. Japan, as the host country, has absolutely no say in the matter with the United States; if given the order, they certainly wouldn't be able to keep the spaceship.

Sawai never considers things from the perspective of any particular country, but rather from the perspective of humanity as a whole, so it would not be a good thing for anyone to take this spaceship!

The best option is for TPC to safeguard the reverse-engineered technologies and share them with all countries to benefit all mankind.

It's like everyone jointly established a TPC joint-stock company. This alien technology and various otherworldly black technology are just dividends used to shut up the shareholders!

At times like these, TPC needs a plenipotentiary representative to negotiate with other countries. Yoshioka is already in charge of the Earth Defense Force, so it's not really appropriate for him to be in charge. The only one with prestige and qualifications is Sawai.

As a result, he is now trapped in the primeval forest!

Sigh... I really want to know how things are going in Japan. Without me, are they just relying on those young people who act as intermediaries?

Ye Shou could handle it, but Ze Jing didn't want him to "expose" too early.

There's no way to charge into battle, as Sawai's stamina is limited and he can't join in. But when it comes to things like "showing his face," Sawai believes his old face still has some dignity, and there's absolutely no need to waste the time and energy of young people.

"These are turbulent times!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a strange figure appeared behind Sawai, invisible to others. Its upper body was a blue humanoid shape, while its lower body was like a whirlwind, resembling a genie from a fairy tale.

After the stand-in appeared, it lay flat on the ground, silently sensing something, but ultimately gained nothing, which made people frown.

"I hope we can be rescued soon~" Sawai sighed.

Let's do this together!

To help expand the camp, Zong Fangzheng led his men to clear the surrounding land, and then tents would spring up everywhere.

Seeing that the accompanying crew members were all doing physical labor, Shinjo, despite being a highly valued pilot, didn't care at all and simply rolled up his sleeves and got to work.

With his cheerful and outgoing personality, he even started chatting with the other person: "I think Captain Joseph's operation was fine, and as the co-pilot, I didn't realize there was a problem at all... So tell me, what exactly happened to this plane?"

"Hmm~"

He was a young man, a bit younger than Xincheng, perhaps even a recent college graduate.

The young man honestly shook his head: "I don't really understand these technical issues, but when the plane crashed, it was you two captains who activated the escape pod system in time, which protected everyone... I think that's amazing."

"Oh, you flatter me!"

Upon closer inspection, Xin Cheng discovered that the other person also had a rather delicate appearance, and was just as handsome as himself, which made him even more fond of him.

"Don't you know who you are?"

“Dispatched by the Ministry of Transport,” the young man pointed to the nameplate on his chest, “Yuan Daigo.”

"Oh, hello, you can just call me Xincheng!"

Shinjo grinned: "It's just a plane crash, consider it a life experience. Statistically speaking, a person only experiences it once or twice in their lifetime. At least you won't have to worry about safety issues when you fly in the future, Daigo, haha~"

• It is a support type, but it is surprisingly good at melee combat.

• To perceive emotions within a certain range and interpret, absorb, or share them.

For example, absorbing someone's hostility will not affect their memory, but if they know that the person is an enemy, they will still lose their fighting spirit.

Alternatively, one can transmit their own or others' emotions to the target through telepathy, achieving communication that transcends language.

Note: Emotions themselves can be recovered.

The absorbed emotions, depending on their category, can temporarily amplify the Stand's various attributes.

• Perceive the "emotions" of the environment itself, which can also be described as the memory of matter. Once a connection is successfully established, one can read freely, but one needs to select the useful information from the vast amount of data.

Chapter 209: Do you think this face is suitable for a human host? (4.5K)

In the Brazilian rainforest, on a high ground that no satellite detector could find, was the location of Sawai and her companions.

The forest at night was like a lurking beast, exhaling damp, cool air. The unknown and profound darkness seemed like an invisible hand tightly enveloping the makeshift camp.

Apart from the light source on the helmets of the watchmen, the occasional crackling of the campfire, the chirping of unknown insects, and the unsettling howls of wild beasts that occasionally drifted from afar.

If you were alone in this environment, you would definitely be extremely fearful and anxious, but the victims were a complete team, which greatly reduced the danger.

Zongfang and Xincheng had just completed a patrol, confirming that there were no abnormalities around the camp, and then handed it over to the next patrol. In addition to the sentries, there were also hidden sentries silently lurking in the darkness, so it could be said that there was no room for error.

This is actually an overreaction, because the dual sentry system, both visible and hidden, is usually used against enemy night raids, and there are obviously no such elite soldiers in the tropical forest; they are only concerned with wild animals.

For wild animals, this arrangement is somewhat of an overreaction.

Unless... Munakata is wary of "humans"!

Neither pilot was a novice, and TPC planes don't crash for no reason, especially not in a special area with no communication. This crash is highly suspicious. Others might not care, but Munakata, the military attaché responsible for protecting Sawai, had to consider the worst-case scenario—

Some people think that Sawai's existence will become an obstacle, so they want to physically eliminate him!

This is not impossible. Although Sawai is very popular and has gained the recognition and support of many forces, the growing influence of TPC and the Earth Defense Force will inevitably affect the interests of others or attract covetous eyes.

If the best opportunity to get rid of Sawai is within these three days, then even if TPC is slow to react, they should be able to find him within three days!

So he set up a tight security perimeter and also switched Sawai's tent with another one; in reality, the secretary-general was living in his tent.

...And so, the night passed safely, the sentries took turns resting in an orderly manner, and no abnormalities were found. Zongfang's worries seemed to be just wishful thinking.

However, beneath this seemingly tranquil night, outside the camp's perimeter, several dark figures emerged like phantoms from the boundless primeval forest, silently approaching under the cover of the dense vegetation.

Their movements were incredibly coordinated; their feet trod on the soft soil piled with fallen leaves and humus with almost no sound, traversing even the roughest terrain with ease, like sliding through a viscous liquid.

The first to notice something was wrong was the sentry guarding the east entrance of the camp. He hadn't heard anything, but suddenly felt a chill, a fear inherited from ancient times of humanity of monsters dwelling in the darkness.

In this environment, he was more willing to trust his intuition than what he saw with his own eyes.

However, just as the sentry cautiously raised his laser gun, a dark figure descended from the treetop and silently pounced on him from behind!

He couldn't even see the other person's face clearly; he only felt a pain in his throat before his consciousness was swallowed by darkness.

But before he fell, his finger instinctively pulled the trigger.

call out!

A dazzling laser beam shot into the sky, instantly shattering the tranquility of the night!

The sentry sent a signal—

"Enemy attack!!" Zongfang's roar sounded almost simultaneously with the alarm.

He was the first to rush out of Sawai's tent, his laser gun a long-handled weapon equipped with a miniature radar component. After scanning, he discovered that the entire camp was surrounded, with more than fifty targets in the darkness!

The well-trained Munakata did not hesitate to fire in the direction the shadowy figure appeared, while simultaneously moving towards his tent—the place where Sawai Makoto was located.

Shinjo and the other awakened team members reacted quickly, firing several laser beams in a crisscross pattern, weaving a deadly net of light in the darkness, striking the enemies and eliciting screams of agony.

But these piercing sounds continued unabated, and the number of enemies did not decrease much, making everyone very uneasy.

These dark figures let out inhuman roars, their bodies charred and burned, but their movements only paused for a moment before they charged forward fearlessly!

Not human!

Zongfang felt a sense of relief: although fighting monsters was stressful, it was better than targeting his own kind.

He fired a series of shots at the closest black figure, which sprinted at a speed far exceeding that of an ordinary person, dodging most of the beams and instantly closing in on Zong Fang!

By the light of the campfire, Munakata could barely make out the other person, and his pupils involuntarily contracted:

Pale skin, blush resembling bruises, and eyes that gleamed an ominous green in the darkness. When it roared, it grinned, revealing sharp, white canines—a vampire?

That was the first thing that came to mind, and before Zong Fang could even feel the absurdity, the other party had already turned around and kicked the laser gun out of his hand.

Zongfang, experienced as he was, discarded his gun and drew his sword, unleashing a fierce military-style slash towards his opponent's neck. However, the shadowy figure was faster; one hand gripped Zongfang's wrist like an iron clamp, while the other, whistling through the air, lunged straight for Zongfang's heart!

"Bang!" Zong Fang only had time to turn sideways to avoid a vital spot. A sharp pain shot through his shoulder blade, and he was spun around by the other party. The immense force slammed him to the ground.

"Captain Zongfang!" Shinjo's eyes widened in fury as he turned his gun and fired fiercely at the dark figure.

Even in the darkness, Xincheng's marksmanship was exceptionally accurate, managing to create a burst of fire, hitting three different spots on the shadowy figure within a single second.

boom! boom! boom!

Even vampires with special constitutions couldn't help but scream in agony, fleeing back into the darkness like wild beasts.

Taking advantage of the moment, Shinjo rolled over and dragged the fallen Munakata behind cover: "Captain!"

"I'm fine..." Zong Fang gritted his teeth, feeling half of his body go numb, marveling at the astonishing strength of the other party.

"I think I might be going crazy, but... turn on all the lights! Any kind of light!"

"Yes, I understand!" Xincheng didn't think much of it.

The attackers were clearly well-adapted to the darkness, and the TPC members were at a huge disadvantage. They were already outnumbered, only about half the size of the attackers, and if the fighting continued like this, they would be wiped out in just a few minutes.

"Turn on the lights!"

Munakata and Shinjo's warnings alerted many others, who, amidst the fierce battle, also shouted out, their voices echoing throughout the camp as everyone desperately searched for and turned on a light source.

The camp descended into chaos. The buzzing of laser beams, the shouts of the team members, and the guttural screams of the shadowy figures mingled together, as streaks of light pierced the darkness, cutting the night sky into jumbled fragments.

The vampires were afraid of the lights, and even though they weren't real sunlight, they instinctively avoided them, giving the TPC team a chance to catch their breath and quickly regroup and rebuild their position.
