Chapter 178: CP9 Prepares to Return to Base!

Inside the Station, hearing the continuous dense Gunshot outside, Yotsugawa Ayame and the others all showed a hint of joy.

"They really are clearing out the Kabane!"

"Right, what about the Citizens who are still alive? How do you plan to handle them?" Yotsugawa Ayame asked with a worried Expression.

Mata gave a Shake Head, replying calmly, "I'm not sure, that's the Army's business, it has nothing to do with our Cipher Pol."

"This..."

Yotsugawa Ayame, who cared deeply for the Citizens, bit her lip, looking troubled. Just then, Footsteps sounded from behind them. Everyone looked over and saw Mima Amatori, Ikoma, Mumei, and others being brought over by another group of Man in Black.

"Miss Ayame!"

"Ikoma!"

"Mumei is here too, it's great that you're all safe!"

Familiar faces from the same 'Iron Fortress' successfully met up, making the atmosphere lively.

"You must be Dr. Shouei, who Researches the Kabaneri Virus, right?"

At this moment, Group Leader Ron, wearing the White Coats exclusive to Researchers, instantly focused on Dr. Shouei, who had the most similar demeanor. Although the latter wore punk-style Night Vision Goggles around his Neck, his loose White Coats was eye-catching.

"That's me. Are you the person from that... Biochemical Research Institute they mentioned?"

Dr. Shouei asked Group Leader Ron, who had walked up to him, then immediately said, "Did you really create a 'Nue' that retains Self-awareness?"

"'Nue'?" The latter looked at him with a confused Expression.

"He's referring to Steve Gus. It seems they call the Kabane Warrior with a Blue Light Heart 'Nue'," Mata explained from the side.

"Oh—"

Group Leader Ron suddenly understood and smiled, "Oh, you call that a 'Nue'? That's a good Name, I'm sure Director Fritz will like it."

"That's right, Gus did retain Consciousness. You'll be able to see him in a moment."

Immediately after, he looked at Dr. Shouei and extended an invitation, "Oh, right, I heard there's a Blue Light Heart here. Could you please take me to see it? How about we chat a bit while we're at it?"

"Alright!"

Dr. Shouei didn't hesitate at all. He was now eager to understand what exactly the World Government was, what the Biochemical Research Institute was, and how they managed to make the 'Nue' retain Consciousness.

Compared to all this, Mima Amatori, his former Employer, was worthless in his eyes.

The key was that this new Tissue called the World Government was clearly much Stronger than the Hunter Guard. As long as they were willing to support his Research on the Kabaneri Virus, he was very happy to switch locations and bosses!

"Now we just need to wait for Lucci and Steve Gus to bring that 'Nue' over. Ah, I really want to get back to the Base quickly and take a nice, comfortable Hot Water bath..."

Mata stretched lazily, a movement full of Sexiness and Charm, drawing the Gaze of many men present. Even the somewhat naive Ikoma and Kurusu turned their heads away, blushing.

This made the ladies nearby, such as Mumei, Ayame, and Yukina, roll their eyes speechlessly at the two of them.

But even they felt that Mata's clothing and figure were overly full of Sexiness; any casual movement could make conservative people feel awkward.

Only Mima Amatori was still silently looking towards the direction outside the Station, listening intently to the somewhat noisy, continuous Gunshot.

"Mata."

Just then, Lucci and the others finally arrived. Among them, Steve Gus was carrying the unconscious Mekko in a princess carry.

"You're finally here!" Mata said, overjoyed.

"Captain!"

The four CP9 members who remained at the Station quickly greeted him. Lucci looked at them and nodded, not saying anything like "You worked hard" or "It's good that you're safe."

Truly, in this Kabaneri World, there wasn't much that could threaten them besides the 'Black Smoke' and the 'Nue'.

"Ah, a perfect 'Nue'!"

Suddenly, Dr. Shouei's excited shout came from the front of the 'Kotetsujyo'. Group Leader Ron behind him watched him with a wry smile; he hadn't even said a couple of sentences before jumping directly off the Train.

"This personality, it really is a bit like Dr. Fritz..."

Dr. Shouei quickly ran up to Steve Gus, examining him from head to toe with surprise. Especially the Blue Light Heart on his chest, his Neck, and his Pupil were the Key Targets of his Gaze.

"You didn't even use Heart Iron to block the Blood flow in the Left Carotid Artery! How did you prevent the Virus from invading your Brain? And you're a man!"

"Huh?"

"Of course I'm a man, how awesome is it to be a man?" Steve Gus said dismissively with a pout. "As for the Virus, you just need to Control the Blood flow."

"At first, I couldn't sleep too deeply, but I've gotten used to this feeling. Once it became a Body instinct, it was fine."

Dr. Shouei listened, mouth agape, unsure what to say. Three golden question marks appeared above his Head. He thought to himself, "What is this guy talking nonsense about? Controlling Blood? And it became an instinct?"

But he immediately thought of the Giant whose Body could turn into Sandstorm earlier and instantly felt that this must be some kind of amazing biochemical technology.

"It seems I must join this World Government. This is a bit too appealing..." As for whether it was a Tissue rebelling against the Shogunate, did that have anything to do with him?

"Alright, time to go!"

Lucci and Mata exchanged a few quiet words. Lucci pushed up his dark red Sunglasses, stepped forward, and coldly prompted, "This place has nothing to do with us anymore. Return to Base immediately."

But at this moment, Yotsugawa Ayame stepped forward, looked at him, and sincerely lowered her Head to request.

"This Lord, I am the current Chief Steward of Aragane Station. Inside the City, there are still many Citizens we brought with us. May I ask if they can be taken along with the 'Iron Fortress'? Also, the surviving Citizens of Iwato Station, I believe they also need our leadership and management."

"Lord Ayame!" Samurai Kurusu's Expression changed.

"That's right! Sukari, Takumi, Moji, and Mr. Kibito are all in the Fortress! We can't just leave like this!" Ikoma shouted.

Lucci glanced coldly at Ikoma and snorted, "Shut up, this isn't your place for Speaking."

Then his Gaze turned to Yotsugawa Ayame's pretty face, which was full of Eastern gentle temperament but had an exceptionally sincere and firm Gaze. In his eyes, this Girl's Identity was different from Ikoma's.

The former was an orphan, cared about the Citizens, was pure-hearted, and was a Regional Leader with extremely high Political Value, while the latter was just an Ordinary Kabaneri.

"The Army will arrange for those Citizens. However, I can help you contact the Higher-ups at the Base. If they refuse, you can only cooperate obediently."

Lucci gave this answer after a moment of thought, which made Ayame and the others show Expression that were both happy and a little nervous.

The former gently gave a Shake Head, took out a Transponder Snail from his pocket, then picked up the Handset on its back, and turned the dial a few times. This process again drew the curious Gaze of these people.

With a few "Poru Poru" sounds, the call was quickly answered on the other end.

"Hello?"

"This is Lucci of CP9. We are preparing to take all Key Targets back to the Base. However, the Chief Steward named Yotsugawa Ayame wants..."

Lucci explained the Situation in full detail in front of everyone. After Senior Director Addison on the other end heard it, he smiled and said, "Alright!"

"Ah, that's great!" Ayame, Ikoma, Mumei, and the others were all overjoyed.

"Miss Yotsugawa Ayame and those few Ordinary People can stay there and help the Army manage the Citizens. The Citizens will likely feel more at ease with them, which will be very helpful for the Stability of Order."

Suddenly, the Transponder Snail's tone became serious. "However, Dr. Shouei, Mima Amatori, and those few Kabane Warrior, must be brought back to the Base immediately! There is no room for negotiation!"

Two chapters updated today, the last one will be posted this afternoon. Here, I sincerely thank all the Great Reader who gave this book a Tip, Monthly Pass, Recommendation, and Subscription. You are truly handsome, cool, and simply incomparable~~~ (Don't know why, this description suddenly appeared in my mind, crying-laughing)

I feel that yesterday's four updates might be something I can never do again in this life. It was truly too tiring.

But it's good now, the update Pace has finally returned to normal. Ah, I can breathe a sigh of relief.
