In a crossover anime, do you believe that a machine spirit can defeat a fake human?

Typhoon Season: Chapter 142 "I Will Come to Save You"

Chapter 142

Water and power outages... it was somewhat expected, but because this building is so high-end, it has an independent water storage system and power grid, which can supply power for up to a week.

"The natural gas supply has been cut off."

Mai Sakurajima stood in the kitchen and spoke to Chen Yi.

"There's nothing we can do about this. The gas pipeline was probably designed to automatically shut off in case of an accidental explosion." Chen Yi was checking the main power switch for the entire house and turning off the power to the extra rooms.

"We still have signal here; the base station hasn't completely lost power," Shuangye replied, taking out her phone and seeing the signal status bar flashing one or two bars.

But it will be soon.

Futaba didn't say the second half of the sentence.

"Klukka, help me search the internet for information about the appearance of the fake humans. There should be sighting reports in areas where the signal is not interrupted."

Chen Yi took out all the guns and loaded bullets into the empty magazines.

"Shuangye, you should know how to use a gun, right?" Chen Yi asked casually without looking up.

"I know how to use it, but what is this?"

She pointed to the extremely long anti-materiel sniper rifle in the very center.

"The DSR-50, .50 caliber, is almost useless except for long-range sniping," Chen Yi explained, having made minor modifications to the single-shot limit of the M4 SOPMOD II he had purchased.

"Here you go." Chen Yi handed the M4 SOPMOD II to Shuangye and picked up the G28.

After quickly clearing away any obstacles to prevent unexpected malfunctions, Chen Yi handed the G28 to Mai Sakurajima.

“Although the apartment’s security is still operating normally, we still need to make extra preparations to deal with the most dangerous situations, just in case,” Chen Yi explained to Shuangye.

Mai, on the other hand, had already gone through it all and didn't need any additional mental preparation.

"Understood." Futaba fiddled with the M4 in her hand, showing little panic or fear.

"What's the general situation?"

Chen Yi asked Kelukai.

"The network in Wakaba Ward and Midori Ward is completely offline. We, Inage Ward and Chuo Ward still have some signal transmission and reception. The status of Hanamigawa Ward cannot be confirmed."

"The situation in Hanamigawa Ward cannot be confirmed? Could it be that there are electromagnetic interference-type fake humans appearing there?"

Chen Yi pondered.

"It doesn't seem like it was done by a fake person, because this trend seems to indicate that the information about this IP address has been blocked."

Does that mean... it was done by human intervention?

"why?"

"I don't know, could it be a pseudo-human belonging to the meme contamination category?"

Chen Yi turned to look at Rio Futaba, who was holding a rifle and standing ready for battle, and asked in his mind.

'Futaba's house is in Hanamigawa Ward, right?'

'Yes. '

"Then let's check Hanamigawa's information. Is it difficult to bypass this blockade?"

"It's just a temporary firewall. I'm an elite electronic warfare android, Commander."

Klukka's voice was full of confidence.

......

"What terrible weather..."

Hiratsuka Shizuka was smoking inside the house when she took a knife from the kitchen and slashed the single sofa in the living room.

Hidden beneath the thick layer of foam is an airline case.

Hiratsuka Shizuka fumbled around for a bit and found the handle, then took the entire flight case out.

Open the latches on both sides, open the flight case, and inside lies a grenade launcher.

This time they really dug out all their family's valuables. I wonder if my dad will still have the ability to bail me out if I end up in jail.

I just hope those pseudo-intellectuals wandering downstairs won't bother attacking the building for no reason, although such a vague prayer is basically impossible to fulfill.

"Self-defense comes first." With a light laugh, Hiratsuka Shizuka stubbed out her cigarette in the ashtray, lay down on the sofa with the grenade launcher in her arms, and stared blankly at the chandelier.

It seems a bit hot after the power outage...

......

"Commander, we've found out. There's... a large-scale pseudo-human variant sighting in Hanamigawa Ward."

"A large-scale pseudo-human variant?"

Chen Yi recalled what Professor Hiratsuka had once mentioned about a monster called the 'San Francisco Drainage System'.

It came from a rainstorm, a flood.

The situation is not drastically different from the current typhoon and rainstorm environment... but rather very similar.

"Hmm, judging from the footprints... the area where that large pseudo-human mutant was active might be..."

Kroos suddenly fell silent again.

"..." Chen Yi fell silent, as if he understood something.

'Kluis, you can't say it, but I already know the answer.' Chen Yi's expression was unreadable. He went into the study, leaving Rio Futaba and Mai Sakurajima in the living room.

"...I'm sorry, Commander."

Chen Yi pulled out a radio, thought for a moment, and then returned to the living room.

"Yi-kun, what's this...?" Sakurajima Mai asked, puzzled, when she saw Chen Yi holding a radio.

"Futaba, what channel do you usually use?" Chen Yi asked Futaba Rio.

"Eh?"

“173.5…Why are you asking this?” she answered instinctively, then realized something was wrong.

"Something happened at Hanamigawa?" she asked, her expression somewhat anxious.

Chen Yi did not answer. He placed the heavy radio on the coffee table, removed the back cover, and slowly turned the knob.

What is your call sign?

"......JK1OAG."

She didn't know what message Chen Yi had received, but seeing his serious expression, she figured it wasn't anything good.

"JK1OAG, JULEITT KILO ONE OSCAR ALFA GOLF, JK1OAG, this is JK1CNC, JULIETT KILO ONE CHARLIE NOVEMBER CHARLIE, JK1CNC calling and waiting for a response."

"What... happened?"

Mai Sakurajima asked cautiously, but received no response.

Chen Yi stared silently at the radio, his thumbs unconsciously clasped together and fiddling with each other.

“JK1CNC, JULEITT KILO ONE CHARLIE NOVEMBER CHARLIE, JK1CNC, this is JK1OAG, JULEITT KILO ONE OSCAR ALFA GOLF, JK1OAG, copying your signal 57, OVER.”

A minute or so, which felt like an eternity, was followed by a slightly distorted reply over the radio.

“JK1OAG, this is JK1CNC, your signal is also 57, OVER.”

"Futaba, a large-scale pseudo-human variant has appeared over there. How is the safety situation now?"

Chen Jun?

Futaba, who was guarding the basement, was stunned for a moment.

Large-scale... pseudo-human variant?

Fear welled up inside me.

But she forced herself to calm down and answered Chen Yi's question.

"I'm currently in the basement of my home. I have a week's worth of food and clean water, and plenty of electricity, so I don't have to worry."

Chen Yi fell silent.

"Yi Jun, she..."

Chen Yi gently placed his hand on Sakurajima Mai's hand, comforting her.

"Futaba, what would you do if something happened to her?"

He turned his gaze to Rio Futaba, who was sitting on the other side, the Rio Futaba with her ponytail.

"I...don't know." Shuangye lowered her head slightly, looking helpless, not daring to look Chen Yi in the eye.

"Sigh... Futaba, since she and you are separate individuals, I should naturally treat them equally."

Chen Yi smiled, a relaxed smile.

"I won't leave you to die."

After finishing speaking, Chen Yi picked up the microphone and sent his last message to Shuangye on the other end.

"Got it, I'll come pick you up. Over."

"?!"

"Don't come any closer!" she immediately shouted into the communication channel.

"Chen Yi! Chen Yi!"

But no one responded.

P.S.: Thank you all for your support! Daily subscriptions have doubled!

(In other words, I'm too popular; if people watch, I've achieved results.)

Love you all, meow! I'll keep working hard, meow!

Typhoon Season: Chapter 143 Thunder Crocodile

"Krooka, you should be able to remotely control the robots at home through the tactical tablet, right?" Chen Yi asked Krooka after putting on his exoskeleton under their watchful eyes.

"It will probably have some latency, just like using VR devices."

"No problem, the task of staying at home is entrusted to you." Chen Yi took the necessary items, stood in the entrance hall, and paused for a moment.

"Mai, Futaba".

He turned and said.

"Take care of yourself. If necessary, it's okay to blow up the messenger fairies and such. Just wait for me to come back."

"Bon Voyage."

Sakurajima Mai rationally wanted to stop him, but emotionally she knew that if she were in his shoes, she would probably also hope that he would come to her rescue.

That leaves only the option of believing.

"Ah."

Without further hesitation, Chen Yi resolutely stepped out the door.

......

"That's not right."

As Chen Yi was about to descend to the first floor, he had a sudden thought.

I don't have a car. Should I walk to Hanamigawa Ward?

“Commander,” Kroos’s voice rang out.

Suddenly, I felt something in my hand. I looked down and saw it was a car key with Kroos's name engraved on it.

"A timely help." Chen Yi nodded and stopped at the mezzanine on the second floor.

"The gate on the first floor should be locked. We can't go out or come in now." Chen Yi looked at the window, reached out and pushed it open, then crawled out.

The icy rain lashed down on them instantly, soaking the exoskeleton and Chen Yi himself into a large, drenched state.
