Chapter 109: A Sanctuary in Chaos

"Ah, no!"

"Hurry, run quickly!"

"Stay alive, son, you must survive!"

The center of Iwato Station has long been turned into a hell on earth. Kabane can be seen everywhere, madly chasing and biting people who are desperately trying to escape or resist with steam weapons.

"Mother!" A boy of about ten years old, with tears streaming down his face, looked at his young mother who was holding a stick and launching a suicidal charge towards several Kabane covered in blood.

But when the city's garrison completely collapsed and were even massacred by the Karikatashuu, how could a little boy escape?

The mother actually knew this very well. She just felt that even if it was just a second, it would be worthwhile for her son to live a few minutes longer than herself.

Just when the little boy was about to witness his mother being eaten alive by the Kabane, a large amount of sand quickly appeared in the surrounding air, covering hundreds of meters in radius.

Countless earth-yellow gravel quickly formed a sand wall around all the survivors, knocking down all the Kabane who rushed over.

"Kuahahahaha!" The next moment, a burst of gasping laughter echoed through the entire Iwato Station, suppressing the roars of the Kabane and the desperate screams of the people for a while.

"What's going on?"

"Sand?"

The survivors on various streets of Iwato Station looked at the gravel spinning rapidly around them in shock.

No matter how the Kabane outside rushes towards them, they will be thrown away by the strong centrifugal force as soon as they touch the surface of the sand layer.

"Ah, it's a God!"

"Has a god descended to save mortals?"

They were simply crying with joy and their steps stopped unconsciously, which aroused the discontent of Crocodile who was floating in the air above the Station. "You idiots, get up and run towards the station to the east!"

"The god is angry!"

"Quickly, quickly, let us obey the Guardian God, we are saved, we will survive!"

Thousands of people of all ages were awakened by his angry words, and they hurried towards the east. With the protection of the sand whirlwind, they did not have to worry about the Kabane along the way, which increased their excitement and faith in the divinity that had descended.

"Tsk, what a troublesome task~~" Crocodile frowned as he watched with displeasure at the people below running around like ants. Before coming, Addison had ordered the army to, to the extent possible, ensure the safety of the majority of the population.

He is now a lieutenant general in the army. Of course, he must stand in the interests of the World Government, and he also understands that what the other party says makes sense.

For the future development of this world, they would definitely need these natives to work hard to build their homes. If everyone died, wouldn't they have to bring people from his Home World?

"Stop moving forward!"

"Keep alert!"

Black-clad soldiers from the World Government's home army headquarters walked out of the station and spread out along the railroad tracks on both sides.

They first cleared the Kabane on the way, then, by order of several officers, they stopped and blocked the surroundings of the main urban area. Then, they pointed their weapons at the sand-covered city.

Soon, screams of surprise or fear rang out from afar, followed by people wrapped in sand running out of the Station.

"It's an army!"

"Hahaha, the shogun has not abandoned us, they have sent soldiers to save us!"

"Fools, look at their black uniforms, they are definitely the Karikatashuu!"

"That's not right, I heard before that it was the Karikatashuu who brought the Kabane to the Station!"

"Eh?!"

But strange things started to happen. When they were about thirty or forty meters away from the first row of army soldiers, the sand layer that had been silently protecting them actually started to prevent them from moving forward, which made the people panic.

"Idiots, stay where you are or if you dare to move, I will send you back!" Crocodile's voice sounded again. Although his tone was full of impatience and his attitude was not very good, the surviving people did not feel anything was wrong.

Instead, they breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, interpreting that the great god had not abandoned them. Meanwhile, Crocodile was giving orders to his troops from the air.

"The first platoon, advance in groups towards the urban area. You are allowed to fire freely, disable all Kabane, clear the area!"

"Yes sir!"

...

At the station, as they listened to the continuous sounds of gunshots outside, Ayame and the others showed a slight smile of joy.

"They are really clearing out Kabane!"

"By the way, what about the people who are still alive, what are you going to do with them?" Ayame asked with a worried look.

Marta shook her head and answered calmly: "I don't know. This is a matter of the Army and has nothing to do with our Cipher Pol."

"Ah..." Ayame, who cared about the people, bit his lips and became entangled. At this time, there was a sound of footsteps behind her.

Everyone looked over and found that it was Biba, Ikoma, Mumei and others who were brought over by another group of men in black.

"Miss Ayame!"

"Ikoma!"

"Mumei is here too, I'm so glad you're all right!"

Koutetsujou's acquaintances met without problems, which livened up the atmosphere.

"Are you Dr. Arata Soue, who studies the Kabane virus?" Ron asked upon seeing Dr. Arata Soue.

"It's me. And you're from that Biochemistry Research Institute they mentioned?" Soue looked at the approaching Ron and then immediately asked: "Did you really create a 'Nue' that retains self-awareness?"

"Nue?" Ron looked at him in confusion.

"He is referring to Steve Gus. They seem to call the Kabane warrior with a blue heart 'Nue'." Marta explained at the side.

"Oh..." Ron suddenly understood and said with a smile: "Calling them 'Nue' is a good name. I'm sure Director Fritz will like it."

"Yes, Gus did retain consciousness, you will see it later." Then he looked at Soue and extended the invitation. "By the way, I heard that there is also a blue Kabane heart here. Can you please take me to have a look and have a few words by the way?"

"Of course!"

Soue did not hesitate at all. He was now eager to find out what the World Government was, what the Institute of Biochemistry was, and how they allowed Nue to retain consciousness. Compared to them, Biba, his former employer, was worthless in their eyes.

The key is that this new organization called the World Government is obviously much stronger than the Karikatashuu. As long as they are willing to support his research on the Kabane virus, he will be happy to change places and bosses.

"Now we're just waiting for Laskey and Steve Gus to get that 'Nue' here. Oh, I really want to go back to base and take a hot bath." Marta stretched lazily in an extremely seductive manner, attracting the gazes of many men present, even Ikoma and Kurusu blushed and looked away.

This caused the women present, including Mumei, Ayame, and Yukina, to silently roll their eyes at them.

But even they felt that Marta's dress and figure were too sexy, and any movement could make conservative people embarrassed.

Only Biba was still silently looking outside the station, listening carefully to the loud continuous gunshots.

"Marta."

At this moment, Laskey and the others finally arrived, with Steve Gus carrying the unconscious Horobi in his arms.

"You're finally here!" Marta said happily.

"Team leader!"

The four CP9s who stayed at the station hurriedly said hello. Laskey looked at them and nodded, without saying anything else.

"Ah, the perfect 'Nue'!"

Suddenly, Soue's excited screams came from the front of the Kokujou. Behind him, Ron watched in shock as he jumped off the train without even saying a few words to him.

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

Soue quickly ran up to Steve Gus and looked at him up and down in amazement, especially the blue light heart on his chest, his neck and his pupils, which were the focus of his gaze.

"You didn't use a shackle to stop blood flow from the left carotid artery! How did you manage to stop the virus from invading the brain? And besides, you're a man!"

"Huh?"

"Of course I'm a man..." Steve Gus frowned and said casually: "As for the virus, as long as the blood is controlled, everything is fine."

"It was just that I couldn't sleep too much at first, but I've gotten used to this feeling and it's become my body's instinct and I'll be fine."

After hearing this, Soue opened his mouth and didn't know what to say. He thought: 'What nonsense is this guy talking? Control blood? And become an instinct?'

But then he remembered the giant that could transform into sand that they had encountered before, and suddenly thought that this must be some kind of miraculous biochemical technology.

'It seems that I have to join this World Government. This is a bit too attractive.' As for whether it is an organization that rebels against the shogunate, does it have anything to do with him?

"Okay, it's time to go!"

Laskey and Marta murmured a few words between themselves, then stepped forward to say coldly: "This place has nothing to do with us anymore, return to the base immediately."

But at this moment, Ayame came out, looked at them, lowered her head, and sincerely pleaded. "Your Excellency, I am the current Governor of Aragane Station. There are still many civilians that we brought to the Station. Could they come with us? Furthermore, the survivors in Iwato Station also need our leadership and management."

"Ayame-sama!" Kurusu's expression changed.

"That's right, Takumi and the others are still at the Station. We can't just leave like this!" Ikoma shouted.

Laskey glanced at Ikoma coldly and snorted. "Shut up, it's not your turn to speak here." Then his eyes turned to Ayame. In his eyes, this girl's identity was different from Ikoma's.

The former has both parents dead, cares about the people, is simple-minded, and is a leader with extremely high political value, while the latter is just an ordinary Kabaneri.

"Civilians have arrangements from the military. However, I can contact the superiors at the base for you. If they refuse, you can only cooperate obediently." Laskey pondered for a moment before giving this answer, which also made Ayame, and others look happy and nervous.

Laskey took out a Den-Den Mushi from his pocket, which attracted the curious gaze of these people. With a few rings, the call was quickly answered.

"Hello?"

"This is Laskey from CP9! We are preparing to take all important targets back to base, but Manager Yomogawa Ayame wants..." Laskey explained the situation clearly in front of everyone. After listening, Addison on the other side laughed and said, "Of course!"

"Ah, great!" Ayame, Ikoma, Mumei and others were all overjoyed.

"Miss Ayame and the other civilians will remain there to help the army manage the population. I think the people will trust them more, which will be helpful in maintaining order."

Suddenly, the Den-Den Mushi's tone became serious. "However, Dr. Arata Soue, Amatori Biba and the other Kabane warriors must be brought back to base immediately, there is no room for negotiation!"
