SFS Chapter 110 Total Invasion
Chapter 110 Total Invasion
Tokyo area.
Despite media efforts to suppress news of the impending collapse of the No. 32 megalith, as the monument's bleaching worsened, the truth gradually came to light, suggesting that someone had deliberately leaked the information.
Three days before the megalith was about to collapse, news of its impending fall finally spread widely, and the official press release was issued that the 32nd megalith was about to collapse.
Meanwhile, the deep underground shelter prepared by the Emperor can only accommodate 10% of the citizens of the Tokyo area. The list of personnel will be randomly selected by computer and will be announced on the day the shelter opens.
The government did not respond to the 90% who were not selected, perhaps because even the Holy Emperor found it difficult to answer, or perhaps the question itself was self-evident.
Shortly after the press conference began, tickets to the Osaka and Sendai areas sold out quickly and are now only available through online auctions or the black market. Prices have skyrocketed to exorbitant levels that could bankrupt many people, who are willing to pay any price to escape Tokyo.
However, the Holy Emperor was prepared, and after announcing the bad news, he immediately followed up with some good news to appease the people.
The government stated that a replacement megalith is being made and is planned to be assembled on-site. The replacement megalith is expected to be completed within three days of the collapse of megalith number 32.
During the crucial three days following the collapse of the monolith, the security of the Tokyo area will be protected by the elite Self-Defense Forces, which achieved significant results in the Second Battle of Kanto.
The official announcement also stated that the police force would participate in the defense as a reserve force to ensure the city's safety. At the same time, the official announcement also stated that Lin Yu, who successfully defeated Scorpio last time, would also join this defense operation.
.......
Lin Yu employed an additional method during the process of selecting personnel to enter the underground bunker facility.
The original screening was based on the research results provided by the Holy Emperor, but in order to further screen the population, he added a question-and-answer session, requiring the refugees to fill out a questionnaire.
The questionnaire contains multiple questions, but the two most crucial ones are:
1. What are your thoughts on the Cursed Children being in the Sanctuary?
2. Is it appropriate to propose that for every child of the curse driven from the shelter, ten other residents will be allowed to enter?
Filter, filter, and filter again! As for the rest, regardless of whether they have opinions about the Cursed Child, those who are genuinely loyal are all intelligent people. Under the circumstances, they will serve the Cursed Child even more than those who are genuinely loyal.
"Is this really good?"
The Holy Emperor looked at Lin Yu, his tone carrying a hint of doubt.
Lin Yu tapped the Holy Emperor's head three times with his hand: "First, what you need are people who can obey your orders, not people who rebel against you."
"Second, what kind of good person is someone who doesn't even spare a group of children? Death is the most merciful treatment for them."
"Third, uh... I haven't thought about it yet. In short, during this invasion, everyone on the ground except for the people around you and your Self-Defense Force will die, dying in the mouths of Gastrea."
The Holy Emperor pondered for a moment, then nodded in agreement: "You are right. We can only protect 10% of the people, so we should protect the kind ones."
"Once the Gastrea have finished dealing with the people on the ground and turned into Gastrea, I will take action to eliminate them, leaving no one alive!"
Lin Yu spoke calmly, gazing at the massive, mostly whitewashed stone monument in the distance, his hands clenched tightly, foreshadowing the arrival of a new era.
........
However, on the eve of the megalith's collapse, an unexpected message caught everyone off guard.
One corner of the No. 32 megalith collapsed first, triggering a series of collapses. The massive body of this megalith seemed unable to endure the torment of the corrosive liquid any longer, and finally let out a mournful cry, as if it had been pushed over by some force, resulting in a chain of collapses.
The collision of the fragments with the ground brought a deafening roar and a strong tremor. The shockwave swept through the entire District 40, and the area where the No. 32 monolith was located was in District 40. The tremor spread from people's feet to their entire bodies, and the shockwave also swept up the surrounding fragments and dilapidated signs.
The megalith collapsed a day ahead of schedule, and the reason was quickly identified: an unexpected geological shift. The slight movement of the ground accelerated the collapse of the already extremely fragile megalith. Such geological changes are difficult to predict, and the Holy Emperor and her team failed to take this natural factor into account when assessing the timing of the megalith's collapse.
So the extermination plan begins!
The Gastrea army began its invasion, and at the first moment of the outbreak of war, more than 5,000 elite self-defense force members quickly assembled and rushed to the battlefield.
Lin Yu, meanwhile, flew high in the air, using his telekinesis to protect the few places he needed to guard. The rest was up to their fate. The self-defense force would only offer a token resistance before retreating; these were all loyal followers of the Holy Emperor.
The Gastrea army marched forward in unison, the dust they kicked up obscuring the horizon, revealing their immense numbers.
At the same time, their roars, like a heart-wrenching bass, created an extremely terrifying scene.
The Self-Defense Forces Marine Corps launched the first attack, using high-precision rocket launchers, grenade launchers, and heavy machine guns to fire at the Gastrea swarm. The shells and bullets traveled along precise trajectories to the target and then exploded.
The Gastrea in the front row were blown away, their limbs scattered everywhere, but the Gastrea in the back row immediately surged forward, their numbers seemingly endless. The army in front of them numbered at least two thousand, or even more.
Shortly after the battle began, the Self-Defense Forces' air combat squadron withdrew from the front lines and sent out a support signal, with signal lights flashing in the sky.
The Marines also began to retreat, their support signals flashing as well.
The Gastrea army has officially launched a full-scale invasion of the Tokyo area.
As the Gastrea army continued its advance, chaos and panic engulfed every corner of Tokyo.
On the street, building windows were shattered, fragments flew everywhere, and metal signs were twisted and deformed by the shockwave.
The Gastrea's heavy footsteps and sharp claws left deep marks on the concrete pavement, and their roars and sounds of destruction echoed through the city, letting the inhabitants on the ground know the creatures the Cursed Children had to face every day.
"Help! Where are the Self-Defense Forces? Are they all dead?!"
"Damn it, why can those cursed children go into the shelter while I can't? Damn it, it must be those cursed children who took my spot!"
"Where's Lin Yu? Where is Lin Yu? Didn't he say he was going to protect us? Where is he? Is he dead?!"
"Right, let's find the Cursed Children. Aren't they good at dealing with these monsters? Let them die in our place!"
"..."
Life unfolds in all its forms, and Lin Yu, high in the sky, witnessed it all. Unbeknownst to him, something was constantly shifting between two colors...
