"How could you release that wind pressure with just one kick?" Arata Soue touched his pounding heart, holding back his astonishment.
"But how is it possible? What kind of strength is needed to release that wind pressure? Are you perhaps a Kabaneri?" Arata Soue really found it unbelievable.
"No, no, Kabaneri can't do such a thing. Are you a Nue?"
"Oh, I don't know which 'Nue' you're talking about?" Laskey asked curiously.
"Um" Arata Soue fell silent. Laskey didn't care when he saw this and said with a smile: "In that case, get off the bus with me first. Forget it, you'd better stay here, it's even more chaotic outside."
When he got outside, he would definitely encounter more attacks from black-clad soldiers. He didn't fear that, but who knew if some uncontrolled bullet would target the doctor?
At least inside the carriage, they had the protection of iron plates all around.
[Swish!]
Just then, a blurry figure entered the carriage with a sound of cutting air. Laskey did not flinch, but Arata Soue and the other two were speechless when they saw an attractive blonde woman, dressed in black, appear next to Laskey, only leaving a blurry trail on their retinas.
"What happened?"
Marta responded concisely.: "Amatori Biba killed the Governor and the samurai chief here and returned to Yomogawa Ayame."
"And after returning?"
"He left with the blonde-haired woman towards the front of the train. Yomogawa Ayame is in custody, and I saw that the Karikatashuu were massacring the soldiers at Iwato Station who wanted to board the train and escape."
"Marta, stay with Dr. Arata Soue here. Oh, and these two researchers, but they are not important. If anyone moves, kill them directly." Laskey ordered with a cold face.
"How about you?"
"I'm going to capture Amatori Biba, and then wait for the other teams to arrive!" After saying that, Laskey turned around and left, quickly disappearing from the carriage.
But neither he nor Marta noticed the anticipation and teasing in Arata Soue's eyes.
''Go ahead, Biba should wake her up soon. Although these two strange guys seem very strong, Nue's power is obviously more terrifying. It seems that I will soon have two more interesting test subjects.'
Laskey's speed was very fast, but when he came to the front of the train, he found that the aura of Amatori Biba was not here.
Instead, a warrior in blue skillfully dodged the steam gun shots, brandishing a glowing long sword. He was defending Yomogawa Ayame and Yukina from the black-robed soldiers who were trying to get closer.
"Kurusu! Be careful!"
Seeing this, Laskey remembered that Yomogawa Ayame was also one of the people appointed by the base to receive care, Laskey disappeared from the roof of the Kokujou in an instant.
In the next instant, he appeared in front of Yomogawa Ayame.
"Shigan: Yellow Lotus!"
His appearance was so sudden that the Karikatashuu soldiers surrounding him had no time to react. Amidst the numerous blurred silhouettes of the Shigan, they fell to the ground, moaning and bleeding.
"..." Yomogawa Ayame and Yukina were completely surprised. Although both of them had brave personalities, in the final analysis they were still ordinary people.
In their senses, as soon as they blinked, a black afterimage appeared in front of them, and then the blurry afterimages spread in all directions, and then the soldiers died on the ground bleeding!
It wasn't until the men fell into pools of blood that the two women could clearly see the figure before them.
"Go to the fourth carriage, there will be people there to protect you."
Hearing this clear and concise order, Yomogawa Ayame asked nervously: "Ah, um, can I ask, who are you?"
"Miss Ayame!"
At this time, the blue-clothed warrior named Kurusu had already dealt with the black-clothed soldiers around him. He walked over quickly, holding a long knife with a layer of Kabane's heart membrane on it, and stared at Laskey's face warily.
Of course he saw the process of Laskey killing seven or eight soldiers in an instant. To be honest, he didn't see much clearly, but it was because of this that he decided that the other party was a dangerous person.
And this dangerous man is standing in front of Miss Ayame, whom he has a deep crush on.
"You have a good sword."
Laskey roughly understood something as soon as he saw Kurusu's eyes that he was willing to die for the woman he loved, which made him appreciate him a little. Because they are the same kind of people.
"It's just that you are too weak. If you want to protect your woman, you have to become stronger!" When Laskey walked over to Kurusu, he patted the latter heavily on the shoulder.
In fact, Kurusu subconsciously wanted to avoid it, but the former's hand speed was too fast, and his body was pressed down by the palm before he could move.
This made him understand how big the gap in strength was between him and the man in black in front of him, but the other person's words were what truly surprised him.
"Ah!"
"No, what are you talking about!" Kurusu's face suddenly turned red, his eyes wandering, and he was confused.
Yomogawa Ayame was also stunned for a moment, but after reacting, she stupidly looked at the young warrior in front of her who had been protecting her.
"Roar!!!!!"
Suddenly, a beast-like roar attracted everyone's attention and Laskey's eyes narrowed. He saw a huge dark monster in the direction of the city gate, raising its head and roaring.
"Is that the 'Fused Colony' that Dr. Fritz was talking about?"
...
"Ah, what is that?"
"How... How is it possible? Why did the 'black smoke' suddenly appear here!"
The soldiers of Iwato Station who were shooting continuously at Kabane below on the city wall were completely stunned when they saw the black aggregate that was rapidly forming from the bottom of the city wall at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Logically speaking, even if there is a 'black smoke', it should come from a distance, giving everyone time to accept and prepare. But what is going on now?
"Fire! Fire!"
"Fire right away, stop this thing before it's fully formed!!" A samurai holding a long sword mustered up his courage and shouted at the soldiers around him.
The soldiers woke up and realized that there was no difference between being stunned and waiting for death, especially those standing next to the cannons, and they quickly raised the muzzles of the cannons aimed at the Kabane below the city.
[Boom! Boom! Boom!]
Seven or eight artillery pieces on the walls on the left and right sides of the city gate fired out at almost the same time. In the fierce flames, the cannonballs smashed into the 'black smoke' body nearby, and suddenly balls of fire expanded one after another inside it.
"Roaaar!"
After a large number of dark fragments were blown apart, it was seen that it raised its head and let out a shrill roar. Inside, Horobi who was wrapped in countless dark and sticky threads like a cocoon, also screamed at the same time. Obviously he was hit by artillery.
This huge black monster was completely enraged. Taking advantage of the gap between the soldiers filling the cannonballs, it quickly replenished its injured 'body' with the continuous influx of Kabane, and then pressed headlong against the city wall in front of it.
"Aaaaah!"
"No!!"
To the desperation of hundreds of soldiers and samurai guarding the Station, the 'black smoke' directly crushed a section of the city wall.
Suddenly, dust and smoke rose into the sky, broken bricks were everywhere, and a loud bang resounded throughout the entire Iwato Station sky.
...
"That's what we often call 'Nue', an artificial Fused Colony with Kabaneri as the 'core'."
"Although it looks like an ordinary 'Black Smoke', 'Black Smoke' is just one of its abilities. It is really exciting to see how powerful it is."
In the Kokujou, Arata Soue no longer cared about Marta's vigilance at his side and looked enthusiastically at his experimental masterpiece with the telescope in front of his neck.
Using the blue light heart blood of the Fused Colony as the main material, and supplemented with other biochemical materials and technologies, something called 'black blood' was developed.
Because it can greatly enhance the effect of the Kabane virus, as long as it is injected into a Kabaneri's chest with a needle, it will become this extremely powerful 'Nue'.
"What are you talking about, artificial 'Fused Colony'?"
At this time, Yomogawa Ayame, train conductor Yukina and samurai Kurusu were also nearby.
Finally, they decided to follow Laskey's advice. It was really too chaotic and dangerous outside, and now all three of them were shocked by Dr. Arata Soue's crazy remarks.
"There is such a thing?"
Marta looked at the 'black smoke' in surprise. This thing looked a bit powerful. At the same time, she was a little worried about Laskey who was acting alone.
...
On the chaotic battlefield filled with fire, smoke, blood and death, Amatori Biba didn't care at all about the indiscriminate slaughter of the soldiers around him.
It didn't matter if they were Kabane or humans, as long as they weren't members of the Karikatashuu, anyone who approached would be shot down by the steam rifles.
Because they occupied the entrance of the station, they effectively blocked the only way for all the people and soldiers of Iwato Station to survive, leaving the latter facing the desperate situation of being attacked by both sides.
Amatori Biba just stared coldly at the 'black smoke' in the distance, which was the result of Horobi's sacrifice, but he did not feel moved or guilty at all in his heart. To him, everything is just a tool.
"Big Brother!"
Amatori Biba saw a girl with twin ponytails and a red dress running over and said with a smile: "You did a good job, Mumei."
"But, you didn't let me open the gate just so all the Karikatashuu could enter the city? Why…" Mumei anxiously looked at the other party and shouted.
Yes, the city gate suspension bridge that Laskey saw suddenly falling was opened by her own hands. Now seeing the tragic situation that happened because of herself, the girl extremely felt torment and pain in her heart. Now she urgently needs an explanation from her 'Brother'.
"Look, Mumei."
Amatori Biba turned her head and glanced at the hell on earth created by their own hands and said softly: "This is the fair and equal world we are pursuing."
The corpses eaten by Kabane, the houses that collapsed in flames, the living dead whose hearts were lit after resurrection, the blood and broken knives and guns all over the ground are simply the most beautiful pictures against the backdrop of the evening sky.
"Only the strong deserve to live in this world, the weak have no right to live."
After saying that, he ignored Mumei and slowly walked forward alone.
This made the Mumei girl finally realize that she had been deceived, completely deceived by this 'big brother' whom she had always admired.
This made her not know what to do, and she stood there at a loss.
"Roaaar!"
At that moment, the 'black smoke' that had brought down the wall began to emit a shrill howl, while the red fibers that ran through its 'body' began to come off like mud.
"Tsk, damn it, it's much faster than expected. Sure enough, the 'shackle' alone cannot completely prevent the virus from invading the brain!"
Dr. Arata Soue watched unwillingly as the 'black smoke' completely collapsed. If this artificial Fused Colony wants to continue, it must ensure that the consciousness of Kabaneri as the 'core' is relatively clear, otherwise it can only be Ordinary 'Nue'.
But he did not explain this clearly to Amatori Biba. Anyway, even if something happened, it could be explained by an accident. As for Horobi's life or death, he didn't care at all. What mattered in his eyes was the test results.
However, with Amatori Biba's character, there is a high probability that he won't care.
"Miss Marta, can you tell us about the World Government you speak of?"
Seeing that the "black smoke" could no longer be seen, Yomogawa Ayame suppressed the shock in her heart and looked to the side to see the blonde beauty with a distinctly Western appearance.
...
Laskey had already arrived close to Amatori Biba, but the first thing he noticed was not the latter, but the black shadow that was killing the Karikatashuu at high speed.
This scene surprised him very much.
Because the speed displayed by the opponent is already very close to that of most members of their CP9, and the figure is obviously very petite.
Laskey originally thought that the only noteworthy combat power in this world was the 'black smoke' that just appeared.
"What's that?"
But when he saw that 'thing' was quickly approaching where Amatori Biba was, he didn't think about anything else and instantly disappeared from the place.
"Soru!"
