Kitahara Sora stared at the town filled with flames and black smoke. After a pause, he said to Yukino in the softest tone possible: "They can't tell how many of these fleeing people can transform into monsters and how many are ordinary people. In order to seal them here, they can only shoot to deter them."

The soldiers began to advance into the city, and follow-up troops followed. The roar of propellers could be heard in the sky, and several helicopters hovered in the sky, monitoring everything on the ground.

Kitahara Sora rolled over and climbed from the roof of the unfinished building into the top floor, then moved sideways to avoid the sight of the helicopter.

"This matter cannot be concealed, at least not from the United States." Kazami Yuji's cold voice came over. His tone was neither sad nor happy. It could be said that he was the person with the least feelings for his own country.

Ever since he could remember, he was trained to be a killing machine and then sent to the battlefield in the Middle East. After he grew up, he worked as a spy and killer in various Western countries, so Kazami Yuji didn't feel much about this matter.

"Yes, but only the United States will know about it. And when the United States learns about this, it will not condemn or stop it out of humanitarianism, but will help the evil. This town will probably become a testing ground."

"After all, they are the country with the most advanced technology in the world. Besides, the people who died were not their own. In their eyes, human rights only apply to their own country..." Beiyuan Kong paused, "the white people in their own country."

The signals here have been blocked. People cannot connect to the Internet or communicate with the outside world, so the news cannot be transmitted. People who run into the forest cannot escape from the forest. The military has probably blocked off this primeval forest.

This is a civilized society. The government will not allow anyone here to walk out alive and expose their atrocities.

Things have come to this point, and there is no need for them to worry about aliens anymore. The army will go directly to the spacecraft crash site deep in the forest to search for useful information.

Those who left the town yesterday don’t know what happened here, but they will definitely go home. As long as they go home, they will be controlled by the military. After all, under the control of the government, subways from various parts of the country to here have been suspended, and there is only one highway.

"Are they doing this just to annihilate us?" There was a hint of sadness in Kobayashi Daigo's voice, and his tone was also very cold.

"Not only that, 'we' have already planned a terrorist attack. Annihilating us is a prerequisite, but more importantly, we must ensure that the experiment can proceed. From what Lieutenant Colonel Saito said before, we know that their research has achieved significant results. We can't give up like this."

"They will probably start a massive hunt for us. The Anthem Squad has only seen Yukino and I. Their sniper once shot Yukino, but you guys are just like the ordinary islanders. Just don't get spotted."

"Can humans be so cruel? This world is a parallel reality!" Xiaolin Daigo trembled and continued to ask: "Perhaps this is just the arrangement of the observer."

Listening to Kobayashi Daigo's words, Kitahara Sora opened his mouth but still didn't know how to answer.

But a few seconds later, Yukino's cold voice came again, but her tone had a hint of sadness and helplessness, "No, if this happened in the world we live in, the way events would unfold would be similar to this, only we would be like this. The theme of the side quest, the ambition of the conqueror..."

Yukino was right, the ambition of this country has never been broken throughout history, because no matter how the rulers and the cabinet change, their thinking is the same.

Throughout history, there has never been a "dove of peace" among the ruling class of this country, and their aggressiveness and ambition have never been erased.

It is impossible for a prime minister to suddenly become an extremely peace-loving person. They are submissive, humble and submissive only because the current social structure does not give them the opportunity to show their strength.

This is related to the country's class stratification. People from different classes can hardly skip their family's class unless they are gifted or have external help. The son of a fisherman will definitely be a fisherman, the son of a chairman will definitely be a chairman, and the children of politicians will definitely enter politics.

This can be seen from the folk custom that the eldest son must inherit the family business. For example, if a family runs a hot spring, even if it is poorly managed and faces bankruptcy, the father will force his son to inherit the family business, even if he is poor and destitute.

So it is the same with the politicians in this country. The education they received since childhood and the direction of their thinking are actually inherited from the will of their parents and ancestors, so they always have a desire to conquer.

This is what Yukino said, only 'us' will become like this, this scene will only happen if this happens to 'us'.

This is a nation that values ​​"personal glory" and "righteousness" more than their own lives. What's the big deal about sacrificing thousands of people for the sake of the nation's "righteousness"?

To be more realistic, since the birth of human civilization, from thousands of years ago to modern society, human wars have never stopped for a day. Peace only occurs in peaceful countries.

"This is just a parallel world, Yukino."

Seeing that Yukino's tone was obviously wrong, Kitahara Sora couldn't help but whispered: "This is just a world created by the observer..."

"I know." Yukino's voice in the headset became cold and calm, "I finally understand why Hui threw a grenade before locking Lieutenant Colonel Saito into the field. She is more open-minded than me. Maybe the human experiments they mentioned are even more cruel."

"Don't comfort me, Kitahara-kun. I just feel a little emotional."

Yukino paused and continued, “Dirang’s goal has been achieved. The soldiers began to speak to the people, confessing to the townspeople that the monsters were lurking among the crowd, because that would lead to indiscriminate attacks;

Afterwards, the military should test their physical data. Normal people will be controlled but will definitely not have the opportunity to contact the outside world. Those who have been strengthened will not take the initiative to accept screening, they will only flee to the depths of the forest..."

In their eyes, it was the Izumo team that planned the attack with the goal of ending the experiment and attracting the attention of the US military or the outside world.

But the mission is not over yet, which proves that the fight is still going on, and even the US military will get involved. They will not only search for the Izumo team, but also search for aliens, because the ultimate power of the one hundred coins has not yet been unlocked.

Therefore, those who were driven into the forest would still kill each other. As for what reasons and promises would make them kill each other, the military would definitely make up a suitable excuse.

Many years ago, Kitahara Sora watched a movie called "Battle Royale", which took place in the future world.

The introduction said that the saturated world economy brought unprecedented economic depression to Asian countries. At the beginning of the new century, a country completely collapsed, and the total unemployment rate exceeded 15%, and the country began to collapse.

When students see adults collapse, they lose hope for the future and think that everything is a lie, so they begin to refuse to go to school and refuse to struggle.

Because of this, teachers in the school also began to suffer violence from students, with the number of deaths reaching 1200. At this time, a new law was introduced.

To eliminate the anger of citizens towards the collapse of schools and the vicious crimes committed by despicable teenagers; to eliminate the despair of young people and inspire their fighting spirit;

To cultivate the ability to overcome various difficulties in adversity and thereby gain the tenacious survival ability; schools across the country will select a class from the senior year of high school to participate in the Battle Royale.

The method is that the students in a class will be forced to kill each other, and only one person will be allowed to survive, and the whole country will be broadcast live...

When Kitahara Sora first watched this movie, he thought it was ridiculous. The director deliberately showed the glory and darkness in this aspect just to highlight human nature, but now it doesn't seem ridiculous.

The reasons are all for the future of the country, but the incentives are different.

At least here, people won't watch students fighting with great joy, congratulate the winners, and cheer the whole country.

Here, the commander would turn around in tears after giving the order to shoot, the soldiers would hesitate, and when the crowd started to run back, the soldiers would immediately stop shooting, leaving behind only hundreds of corpses.

But orders are orders, and soldiers on the battlefield are machines and cannot have any personal feelings.

So where is the alien now? What does he think of the farce of this inferior race?

Now, there are two options left for the Izumo team.

1. Go deep into the forest and face the Hymn Squad.

Second, stay here and fight the army.

3. Escape, escape from here temporarily, there is no time limit for the task.

So we can only leave temporarily? If we continue to stay in the city, we will be discovered sooner or later, because Hui is the only one in the team who can escape the search of modern technology.

But as he was thinking, Kitahara Sora discovered something was wrong, and then he frowned deeply, because Yukino had already expressed the worst guess.

"After the army has checked all ordinary people, they will issue a wanted order for us to the Collectors. After all, we are the biggest source of instability. It will probably take less than a day to complete this series of operations. We can't escape. Two of our team members are still in Jiang Lina's hands, unless we want to give up Komuro and Gouda."

As soon as Yukino finished speaking, the sound of intensive gunfire was heard again in the distance. Kitahara Sora, who was standing on the roof, tilted his head slightly and looked intently. A nameless anger rose from his lower abdomen and he suddenly became so angry that he wanted to curse!

I saw a black shadow sweeping towards the soldiers like a harvester. Ordinary bullets had no effect on the shadow. But when the infantry fled in panic, flamethrowers carrying oil tanks came up to them...

"Fuck, Jiang Lina! You really are a fucking idiot!"

Kitahara Sora roared and took the black bow out of the ring.

Chapter 40: The Brain is a Good Thing

Due to the welfare schemes of the government in the past two years, most of the normal young people have moved out of this town, and most of those left behind are old people, children, students and collectors.

Screams and cries were heard one after another on the streets, people were fleeing in panic, thick smoke and charred corpses on the road intertwined to create a desperate doomsday scene.

The soldiers defending their country raised their guns to the people they were protecting and pulled the triggers. One after another, their bodies began to swell and turned into hideous monsters. It seemed that nowhere was safe and they could only hide in the nearest building and pray that the next explosion would not occur in the building where they were hiding.

The explosions continued, the rumbling sounds were endless, the indigo sky was polluted by smoke and flames, and even the pure clouds were stained with a layer of filth.

Under the blazing sun, a dark shadow swept towards the soldiers who were ready for battle like a sand grinder.

Intensive gunfire swept through again, and the bullets easily penetrated the smoke, blasting countless dense holes in the black smoke, but after being dispersed, it condensed and closed again.

The soldiers in the front row were enveloped by black smoke, and heart-wrenching screams were heard. It was like a swarm of locusts covering them. After the smoke dissipated, only a bloody skeleton was left of the soldier, and the black smoke became thicker.

As it pounced on the other soldier, it was like a moving dark cloud, pouring sticky blood and flesh rain onto the ground as it moved.

As the soldiers in the front row fell one after another and the black smoke rushed towards the armored vehicles in the rear, it paused slightly and stopped in the middle of the empty road.

Three soldiers holding flamethrowers were lying on the ground motionless. When it reacted, three fire dragons as long as 20 meters with vigorous whistling sounds had shot towards its face!

"what--"

Scrill screams came from the black smoke. The scorching flames seemed to merge with the smoke, and black and red light continued to rise and twist in the air.

The three horizontal fire tornadoes only lasted for less than a second, but the jet fired not only fire, but also solidified gasoline that burned fiercely in the air but would not evaporate all at once. So even though the three fire dragons stopped immediately, the ball of black smoke was still burning inside!

"call--"

"call--"

"call--"

Three flamethrowers sprayed flames towards the black smoke in a coordinated manner to ensure that the flame was uninterrupted while also preventing the jet from overheating and losing accuracy.

When firing, the recoil force of more than 65 kilograms caused their bodies to be pushed back several centimeters each time they fired. After each soldier fired three times in a row, he would crawl forward and continue firing.

At this moment, a pale face condensed in the center of the black smoke. This beautiful face was twisted in extreme pain. She opened her mouth in pain, but flames burst out of her mouth, replacing the original scream.

The sticky black water was like tar, constantly dripping from the scorching flame core onto the ground. The intense pain had made it lose the ability to escape, just like being hit by a combo from the opponent in a fighting game, freezing in place.

If she continues like this, only death will await her!

But at this moment, a loud and vigorous rebuke gave the black smoke a moment of respite. The lieutenant suddenly raised his hand and shouted loudly: "Stop - shooting!"

The flamethrower relaxed his index finger on the trigger, stood up, put the gun against his waist, and slowly approached while being wary of the black smoke that had turned red.

A hoarse groan came from the orange-red light ball, and the whistling sound of the burning flame slowly stopped. When the orange-red light ball was replaced by thick black again, it slowly solidified in the air and turned into a graceful human figure covered in black, and then fell to the ground with a "thump".

Jiang Lina, naked, was crawling on the ground, her fair body was stained with a layer of smoke and dirt, her originally slightly curly short hair was twisted into a ball, emitting green smoke and a burnt smell. Her chest was heaving violently, and she stared blankly at the slowly approaching soldiers.

Now she no longer has the strength to transform, and in her current state, only one bullet will end her life.

At this moment, clear tears were flowing from the woman's cloudy eyes...

The roar of the engine was accompanied by the sound of tracks crushing the concrete road, and the lieutenant's cold voice came along.

"A perfect experimental subject. He was able to maintain his physical integrity even after being sprayed with flames for nearly a minute."

A lieutenant wearing a Type 88 Kevlar helmet walked in. He had a resolute face, and his upright face still had traces of fresh tears on it, but the words that came out of his mouth did not make Jiang Lina feel a trace of human emotion.

"Aoki Erina?"

"You..." Hearing the other party calling out her name directly, Jiang Lina widened her eyes and stared at him in disbelief... After a few seconds, a trace of sadness flashed in her eyes.

"That guy told you my information from the beginning—" She closed her eyes in despair and murmured, "I am such an idiot."

Her ability is to control every cell in her body, so she can change into something like a ball of smoke. After the transformation, she is almost immune to physical attacks. Because the ball of black smoke is as light as dust, bullets have no effect on her.

But the molecular body is still a whole. Even if it is broken up and even has countless holes, it is still closely connected. Even artillery shells have no effect on this feature, but flame-type covering attacks are her fatal weakness.

The military couldn't possibly know her characteristics so well, nor could they immediately send flamethrowers to attack her after seeing her. It could only be Di Rang...

"You monsters!" The lieutenant looked at the pale-faced Jiang Lina, then his eyes turned cold, and he stretched out his leg and kicked her on the back of the head!

"Oh!"

As a dull sound was heard, Jiang Lina's forehead came into close contact with the ground, and bright red blood began to flow.

"Monsters? Us? Haha..." Jiang Lina said in a hoarse voice with a hint of joking, "Are we monsters? What are you?"

Naoto was beaten into a stick by the woman from the Izumo team. After spending a peaceful night, Erina guarded the wounded at the team's gathering point, while the captain Sakuma carried him on his back to find aliens to exchange for recovery potions.

But as soon as they walked out the door, the ground shook and violent explosions reached their eardrums from every corner of the city. When Jiang Lina ran to the balcony in panic, her two teammates were engulfed by flames.

Sakuma's arm hit the balcony glass, and Naoto's head flew into Erina's arms.

The woman fell into a daze, but the dense gunfire in the distance brought her back to reality. This was why she rushed over regardless of everything. She rushed over to seek revenge in a fit of rage...

The lieutenant rolled his toes hard, and Jiang Lina's head rubbed against the ground, making a creepy "thumping" sound.

“Look, what have you done, you monsters!” He pointed at the bodies of ordinary people and soldiers in front of him, pointed at the town that was almost reduced to ruins, and shouted at the naked woman: “It’s because of you, it’s because of you that it has become like this, you bastards!”

"Oh!"

Another sound of heavy impact was heard, and the lieutenant kicked Jiang Lina on the side of the face. The huge force caused her body to flip over and fall on her back on the ground.

Looking at the dying woman, the lieutenant waved behind him, and a soldier came over holding a metal box. He took out a metal collar from the box and put it around the woman's neck.

After the collar was put on, the needle tip of the inner ring pierced her skin, and the newly developed inhibitory agent merged into her blood. After everything was normal, the indicator light on the outer ring of the collar turned from red to green.

"what--"

Jiang Linai, who was originally extremely weak, suddenly burst into a heart-wrenching howl again. Her soft body suddenly stood up and then fell heavily. Afterwards, Jiang Linai curled up on the ground with foam at the mouth and kept twitching.

"You did...what to me!"

"You don't need to know this. Your body belongs to the country now." The lieutenant's cold expression showed a hint of ferocity. "The professor should be very happy to meet you, Ms. Aoki Erina."

"kill me!"

"Kill you? I'm sorry, but I don't have the authority. You will be studied and dissected. Every part of your body belongs to the country and to all mankind."

Hearing this, Jiang Linai stared at the lieutenant blankly, thinking about being studied and dissected. Gradually, her eyes lost their luster...

The lieutenant turned his head and ignored the woman. Instead, he gave orders behind him: "Team One, Team Two, start talking to them. Ask the people to undergo inspection. Bring the normal people back to the base. Execute the monsters who resist on the spot. There is no need to pursue those who escape. Follow-up troops..."

But the lieutenant stood there in a daze before he could finish his words. A beam of indigo light from the sky shot straight towards him from the center of the city. Suddenly, a violent flash of light erupted behind him, and a Type 10 tank was hit by the straight blue light.
