Chapter 120: The Bullet Training Style
"Biba, Biba, you fool fell into the hands of a woman, you trash." Okimasa muttered with a gloomy face.
For him, his son, who was exceptionally talented, even if he failed, should have been defeated by him, and if he died, he should have been executed by his own hands.
"Hmph!"
"Let's disperse..."
...
Raymond and Sakazuki have returned to Starfish World. After all, in the Kabane world, the Kabane are the only thing that can spark their interest.
Meanwhile, Tsuru chose to stay for a few days. Now that she knew that the sea of this world did not affect devil fruit users, she decided to go to a nearby beach. She then took 'Blue Heart' and Horobi, whom she had 'washed' of negative emotions, to accompany her to enjoy the sea.
...
[Knock-Knock]
The door of the base director's office was lightly knocked from outside.
"Come in."
The next moment, the door opened and Ikoma and Hozumi, who were the 'protagonists' of this world, entered.
"Sit down and talk." Addison smiled slightly and pointed to the two chairs opposite.
"Thanks." Ikoma and Hozumi looked at each other and each took a seat.
Addison asked: "I hear you've made your decision?"
"Yes." Ikoma nodded with a complicated expression.
Addison smiled. "Let's talk about it, I hope your answer won't disappoint me."
"I promise to join you and develop various special weapons. Anyway, even if I don't agree, you will mass produce steam weapons, right?"
Regarding this question, Addison shrugged noncommittally.
"But I have a condition, or rather, a request. I hope that you can restore Mu... I mean, Hozumi back to a human being, and guarantee that she will have enough food, shelter, safety, and health."
"Ikoma..." Hozumi bit her lip and muttered under her breath.
"That's no problem. You're lucky, I just received a report from the Biochemistry Research Institute that plans to conduct an experiment with withe blood to collect data. Therefore, one of you can receive the injection."
Addison quickly agreed, then looked at Hozumi and asked: "But do you really want to do this?"
"What?" Hozumi and Ikoma looked over in confusion.
"Going back to being a normal human being would mean that you would lose your superhuman physical ability, which would prevent you from fighting in the future."
"Besides, you would have to stay here as a regular civilian, while he would join the Scientific Institute and probably work in the Starfish world. So, you two..."
Having said this, Addison opened his palms.
Although it was obviously puppy love in his opinion, this Ikoma was at least an adult, but Hozumi was clearly underage, but the World Government didn't have any clear laws in this regard, so there was nothing to blame.
"Are we going to be separated in the future?" Hozumi panicked, looked at Ikoma and said loudly: "Then I don't agree. Whichever world you go to, I will go with you!"
Ikoma touched Hozumi's head, telling him not to be so impatient, to calm down, and then looked at Addison.
"Can't ordinary people go to your world? And if I become your researcher, I can't come back?"
"You should be able to apply to come back, but it depends on whether the Academy of Sciences approves your leave. Even if they agree, it also depends on whether the base on the other side of the dimensional gate allows it."
Addison explained to them very patiently.
"In short, the process is quite troublesome. It will definitely not be easy to come back. As for civilians entering Starfish, don't think about it in a few years. I have never received such news."
At this time, Hozumi asked very seriously: "Then if I don't become an ordinary person, can I accompany Ikoma to Starfish?"
Ikoma wanted to stop her but was speechless.
"This shouldn't be a problem. After all, Kabaneri still has some combat value. However, they belong to different departments, so they will need to coordinate to meet."
"But it will definitely be easier than being in two separate worlds, at least it will be easier to get in touch."
Addison knew from the girl's look that this was already decided.
"In this case, I don't want to receive the white blood injection. Give Ikoma this chance to become a normal person again."
Hozumi stood up, clenched her fists and was very decisive. After speaking, she turned her head and looked at Ikoma, who looked anxious next to her.
"Instead of eating as much rice as I can every day, I want to be with you more. Anyway, I'm used to being a Kabaneri and drinking blood..."
"But..."
Just when Ikoma was going to say something, Addison smiled softly from the other side. "It seems like you guys have forgotten something. It's not like there's just one dose of withe blood."
"Of course, at this point its value and contribution only warrants one dose, but that won't always be the case. Plus, who knows, maybe in the future withe blood can be mass produced."
"Yes!" Ikoma suddenly understood, looked at Hozumi with a happy face, and laughed loudly: "Then let's go to another world together!"
"Uh-huh!" Hozumi also smiled happily, nodding repeatedly.
"Okay, you can go to the Biochemistry Research Institute. I have other things to do here, so I won't accompany you."
Ikoma stood up and bowed to express his gratitude, then took the girl's hand and left the office.
Addison shook his head helplessly. For some reason, looking at their backs, he suddenly thought of his wife and daughter at home.
...
The samurai and soldiers on the walls of Tamatsukuri Station looked in amazement at the army in black coming face to face with the dense ranks of Kabane.
The constant sound of gunshots and explosions echoed in the sky, as the Kabane roared in a bloody frenzy, facing the hail of bullets with their bodies.
The army in black deployed a part of its soldiers wielding samurai swords, directly confronting the Kabane who were approaching the battle line.
Even though the Kabane were not many due to the intense artillery blockade, they still had a numerical advantage, but those soldiers in black demonstrated an incredible level of swordsmanship, swinging their swords and killing the Kabane.
When the Kabane were matched in number by the soldiers, a sharp whistle was heard from somewhere.
Hearing that sound.
All the soldiers in black stopped shooting, drew out the samurai swords from their waists, and rushed forward to join the bloody fight without saying a word.
About an hour later, there was a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood outside the Station.
More than ten thousand Kabane were massacred by these thousands of soldiers!
However, some scattered black-clothed corpses could still be seen in the field. Even with the protective equipment of arm guards and leg guards, the army still suffered more or less casualties in the face of the Kabane's siege.
Soon, those soldiers in black arrived in front of the Station pit. However, if they did not lower the drawbridge, it would be impossible for them to enter the Station.
That was the mentality of everyone on the wall.
Another long, sharp whistle sounded in the distance.
Everyone on the Station wall was surprised to see the soldiers in black begin to jump into the water and swim towards them quickly.
Since there was no order, all the soldiers on the wall watched open-mouthed as the army in black swam across the river.
In the distance.
"Yes, by taking this city, we will be able to bring another group of people here!" Douglas Bullet sat on a specially designed oversized motorcycle, watching the scene with a terrifying smile on his face.
"This Kabane world is really a perfect training ground!"
During these days, he had already brought two groups of five thousand soldiers each.
Every time, he would let these 'newcomers' fight with a large number of Kabane in the wild. After they got used to the blood and death on the battlefield, he would take them to find a station.
Not to find a place to rest, but to... siege the city!
"Hmph, only those who have conquered large military fortresses amidst hail of bullets and artillery fire are considered elite soldiers, Kahahaha!"
Accompanying Bullet's unbridled laughter, the army soldiers who had crossed the moat began to put away their katanas and take out steel hooks.
Before the looks of surprise and terror of those on the wall, they threw the hooks with force upwards. In the blink of an eye, the hooks caught on the edge of the wall, and they began to climb.
"They are going to attack the city!"
"Shoot! Shoot quickly!!"
A samurai leader reacted first in shock and anger, shouting orders at the top of his lungs to everyone around him.
Suddenly there was a loud noise of gunfire, but the hail of bullets was indeed coming from below. The soldiers who had not yet begun to climb the rope started providing covering fire for their comrades.
