And Mai Sakurajima, who had to abandon her shooting and take shelter as the rain intensified.
The two of them stared at the robot feeding them medicine and fell silent.
The biggest rival has appeared.
The alarm bell rang, then stopped after a while.
Because it's meaningless. After spending so much time with Chen Yi, Mai Sakurajima and Rio Futaba know what kind of person Kroos is and what she means to Chen Yi.
In other words, the remaining opponents...
"It's only Miss X left." "It's only Futaba left."
They both thought of it at the same time.
Typhoon Season: Chapter 150 The Mysterious Motorcyclist
Titan PMC is an enterprise that can be described as a private armed force, but it has a size equivalent to the entire U.S. military.
As for the U.S. military itself? After the war, the U.S. military was almost completely disbanded, and what remained were just a facade force to maintain appearances.
Of course, this is the case in almost every country. As conflicts between humans come to an end, the conflict between humans and pseudo-humans is used as an outlet for all social problems.
Since the fake enemies don't speak up, they just like to refresh everywhere and kill people. Such a long-term and obvious enemy is the perfect tool to create a positive image for the government.
As a result, security companies born out of security needs, or mercenary companies born out of hunting needs, sprang up like mushrooms after rain. Among them were organizations that were nominally private companies but were actually agencies of various countries in disguise, such as Russia's BEAR or the United States' Titan.
......
The three of them squeezed into the study. Chen Yi lay on the tatami mat, his cold preventing him from doing any work, while Mai Sakurajima was passing the time by editing videos on her computer.
As for Futaba, after she finished inspecting the exoskeleton, she went to get the fairy parts that Chen Yi hadn't assembled and assembled them one by one, like piecing together glue.
Well, we only have a dozen or so fairy parts left. We'll get another batch after the typhoon passes.
Chen Yi looked at Shuangye and thought.
There was a moment of silence, which was then suddenly broken by Mai Sakurajima, disrupting the peaceful atmosphere.
"Yi Jun, so you... encountered a large-scale pseudo-human mutation, is that right?"
"Hmm." Chen Yi nodded, his gaze fixed on the smart helmet connected to the laptop via a data cable, without reacting.
Firstly, I had a bad cold and my head was still foggy; secondly... there really wasn't anything to hide.
Sometimes, those who care about you also have the right to know the truth.
"Actually, it's alright," Chen Yi explained.
"It survived almost entirely thanks to the locomotive. It never held us back, and it never crashed when navigating sharp bends in floodwater. Most importantly, it could also launch missiles."
Mai was silent for a while, then sighed.
"What are you talking about? Is it about what happened yesterday?" Futaba's attention was drawn to her, and she asked with concern.
“I ran into Abrams on the road, the American Abrams, they’re out hunting those things.”
Hopefully, those two Abrams cars aren't made of paper.
Chen Yi shrugged, then remembered the two police officers who had covered his retreat halfway through his sentence.
"..."
“And two brave officers,” he added.
"It's good that you're alright..." Mai Sakurajima stood up, walked to Chen Yi's side, and bent down to give him a gentle hug.
Chen Yi didn't look at the other person; his gaze turned to the window, to the sliver of light shining through the thick clouds.
The typhoon has passed.
......
As the signal was restored, disaster relief departments began issuing notices, indicating that water and electricity supplies would be restored within ten hours.
However, based on the speed of official response after past typhoons, the duration of these ten hours may be double or even several times longer.
"My signal is back! Has it been restored on your end?"
My phone vibrated; Yui had sent a message in the group chat.
Isn't this question a bit silly? Normally, you wouldn't receive this message if the signal hadn't been restored.
Chen Yi's lips twitched.
'I haven't had many signal drops before, but the signal environment is really, really bad...'
Yotsuya Miko responded.
The remaining people haven't replied yet, probably because they're not available.
'I think you guys could learn how to use a radio.'
Chen Yi sent a message to let them know he was safe and sound, and also sent them a picture of his radio station.
'By the way, you need to take a certification exam.'
"Ah, this looks a bit troublesome..." Yui searched and replied in the group.
'It seems to really work... I'll give it a try.'
Yotsuya Miko, however, gave a completely different answer.
'Actually, it's not that difficult to test; as long as you understand the principles, you'll be fine.'
Chen Yi explained.
'Since Yotsuya-kun wants to learn... I'll give it a try too.'
Yui hesitated for a while, but finally made up her mind.
......
In the days following the typhoon's passing, several videos from different angles quickly went viral online.
Although the image is very blurry due to shaking, and most of the angles are tricky, you can only see a fleeting shadow and a huge creature chasing closely behind.
However, thanks to AI technology, after the image quality was restored, it's not hard to spot the main characters in these videos.
—Of course, it wasn't that thunderous crocodile, but another guy who was being chased all over the city and looked quite disheveled.
He is the 'Guitar Knight' who was previously very popular online and pioneered a brand new track.
Some people asked Guitar Knights for a response under the account, while others went to Guitar Heroes to ask if they knew the truth.
Yes, ever since Chen Yi said a few words in Boqi Jiang's comment section, some netizens who love to watch the drama have privately identified them as a couple and believe that the two are a couple in real life.
In response, Chen Yi stated that this was utter nonsense.
The total number of private messages between Guitar Knight and Guitar Hero was less than ten, so it was unexpected that this would become such a hot topic.
As for the official response regarding this large-scale pseudo-human variant...
Chen Yi's go-to editing master, Ms. Mai Sakurajima, is still working diligently on her work.
Since Mai Sakurajima revealed the truth, Chen Yi simply handed the account over to her to manage, which saved him some time to do other things.
...Although the time saved isn't much, because the nature of this account dictates that it won't post videos very frequently.
On the other side, the arrogant young lady with blond hair held her phone, placed her pen on the table, and set aside the half-finished sketch of a human figure riding a motorcycle.
After learning that her mother was safe and sound and had returned from the comic convention, she became interested in the guy called Guitar Knight.
First, there's the coolness of the masked look. The sharply defined mask, the high-tech helmet, the artistically modified standard exoskeleton, and the cold anti-material sniper rifle all combine to create a very cool image.
Just like a masked hero.
Just as Chen Yi had previously judged, people in this world are indeed powerless against heroic figures.
Secondly, there is gratitude.
At the time of the anime convention, my mother and I were both fine, which was because the other party had removed the danger from the venue!
It's clear who was the main force in eliminating the fake police: the unarmed police officer or the mysterious armed man.
Therefore, Eriri naturally became a fan of Guitar Knight.
At that moment, while searching for materials, she came across a video with a very high resolution. It was posted today, and out of curiosity, she clicked on it to watch.
The AI-restored video, played in slow motion, vividly depicts the scene of a motorcyclist turning around to attack a large crocodile.
A few comments suggested it was staged, but these were quickly countered by a large number of other comments.
"How could it be staged? Who would risk their life to pose for a photo with something like that!"
Eriri was so angry she wanted to curse in the comments section, but she couldn't come up with any offensive words.
P.S.: Book recommendation: "Please, Just Break Up Already!"
Hell's energy is scarce; it can only be repaired by drawing upon the negative emotions that cause rifts in people's relationships.
Yasaka Maku, a top student from hell, is commissioned to become the mastermind behind the breakdown of a couple's relationship and the forced disbandment of a girls' band.
"I really am a genius. Breaking up relationships between boys and girls is just a piece of cake for me."
……
"Humans are indeed cunning. With a little trick, I will surely be able to separate you."
"Damn it, this is not quite the same as in the textbook."
"Can anyone tell me why, every time I'm about to succeed, a pink-haired girl with an aura comparable to an archangel always seems to spawn on the roadside?"
……
"I'm tired. Let's destroy it."
"I'm really not a love strategist!"
(This book involves, but is not limited to, MyGo and Kaguya-sama: Love Is War.)
Typhoon Season: Chapter 151 Popular Science (Seriously) Series Part 2
Chapter 151
"Through Titan PMC's hunting operation, we successfully eliminated the large-scale pseudo-human variant active in Mihama Ward, Chiba City during the typhoon..."
The news spread quickly online, and it was about to become impossible to hide, so the news media jumped out and released the information, while using euphemisms to gloss over Chen Yi's contributions.
Of course, no one in the mainstream online discourse believed this. After several days of fermentation, the fact that Chen Yi was walking the "swamp dog" all over the city in the rainstorm was already a foregone conclusion. In addition, Sir Humphrey's theorem that "only official denials are credible" made Chen Yi's role in this incident even more unshakable.
What is their position? Certainly not that of a victim or an unlucky person.
It's the MVP!
It's hard to imagine Chen Yi waking up one day to find himself inexplicably the MVP. In reality, what the official sources say is true; he's playing the role of an unlucky guy being chased. But rumors spread like wildfire online.
"Should we still release this video?" Mai Sakurajima asked.
I doubt there will be any die-hard fans opening the boxes in person... right?
"Send it, why wouldn't I send it?" Chen Yi shook his head.
The bigger the waves, the more expensive the fish. After posting this video, I estimate I'll have enough popularity to move on to the next step of my plan.
Wouldn't it be wonderful to retire gracefully after achieving success?
Otherwise, would you really go and run this account? Are you just looking for trouble with fake people? You should be grateful if they don't bother you.
Having experienced the crocodile chase, Chen Yi has also grown a lot in terms of his understanding.
He now understands why the world admires individual heroes but few actually practice them. This situation is like playing a multiplayer competitive game without rank protection or automatic teammate matching. You have no idea how many opponents are coming or what their strength is. No matter how capable you are, you can still get killed.
I am already afraid.
......
"Long time no see, everyone. I'm Guitar Knight."
Chen Jun released a new video?
While Kasumigaoka was idly scrolling through videos, thinking about whether to chat with Chen Yi, she happened to come across a new video by Guitar Knight and almost skipped it.
"Thank you very much for watching the second video in this series. In this episode, we will introduce the Crocodile Beast."
