Ten Updates! Hopeful Laughter Borne on the Wind and Sand!

"Army?!"
Souei and the others listened to the extremely familiar train sound and watched in shock as the black train that Yukina called 'Yatsushiro' slowly approached.
"You even have your own army!"
Ayame Yomogawa looked at Mata seriously and asked, "Which region's power do you belong to? And 'Yatsushiro' should be the exclusive train station for Yatsushiro Station, so why is it in your Army's hands?"
"Of course it's been occupied by us, is there even a need to ask?"
Mata looked at the other person with confusion, then spread her hands and said helplessly, "Don't ask so many questions now. You'll understand in a few days. Until then, just listen and observe more."
"Occupied?"
"You're preparing to rebel against the Shogunate!" Dr. Souei Wei exclaimed in surprise.
"Hehe."
Mata scoffed, too lazy to pay him any attention, thinking to herself, "What is the Shogunate anyway? It dares to challenge the World Government? In a few days, we might not even have Shogunate left."
[Hiss----]
With a snort of deflating air, 'Yatsushiro' came to a stop next to 'Kokujo'.
The next moment.
One by one, the iron doors of the train carriages were pushed open.
A large number of the Army soldiers, dressed in black uniforms and carrying automatic rifles, poured out of it.
"Hurry, hurry, hurry!"
"Line up!"
"Set off!"
In the blink of an eye, troops appeared at the docking station, forming ranks rapidly.
They were led by officers dressed in suits and wearing black Coat of Justice.
A long line of people walked out of the station one by one amidst the sound of footsteps.
Throughout the entire process, no one paid any attention to Mata's group.
"This, this is your Army?"
Souei was completely dumbfounded. Not only him, but even Kurusu, Samurai, was stunned.
They had never seen such a disciplined and well-equipped modern army before.
I originally thought that the soldiers of the Hunters were the most elite force.
Good heavens, compared to these so-called Army, they can't even be called a regular army!
Not to mention the garrison troops at each of the various 'post stations'.
[Whoosh whoosh whoosh----]
Suddenly, five or six meters in front of them.
Under the dumbfounded gazes of Ayame Yomogawa, Yukina, and the others.
A black figure appeared out of thin air amidst the rapidly spinning yellow sand.
This man's clothing was no different from that of the officers and soldiers passing by.
They were all wearing black coats with the word "Justice" written on the back.
The only thing inside was the yellow suit.
The key was the way he made his entrance and his towering physique, which appeared to be at least 2.5 meters tall!
"Vice Admiral Crocodile"
Mata stepped forward and greeted her respectfully in a soft voice.
Although the two parties belong to different departments and have no superior-subordinate relationship.
But the other party's strength was enough to command her respect.
"Um."
Crocodile responded with a nasal tone.
He then glanced down at Souei and the others. "Are they the important targets Addison mentioned?"
"Is everyone here?"
"Including Biba Amatori, there are four other targets who haven't arrived yet, but they should be here soon," Mata said softly.
"Then tell them to hurry up. The people we brought from Yatsushiro Station will operate the 'Kokujo.' You can take it back first."
After giving his orders, Crocodile ignored them.
He took a cigar out of his pocket, put it in his mouth, and lit it with a lighter.
It exhaled a puff of smoke, then vanished into the sand and disappeared without a trace.
Ayame Yomogawa murmured to herself, "So he is the 'God of Sand' that the people of Yatsushiro Station talk about. Could he really be a god who descended to earth?"
Her worldview, along with Yuna and Kurusu 'Yukina, was crumbling, and they were even becoming somewhat numb from the repeated shocks.
On the contrary, Souei Wei did not think of anything related to gods at all, but looked at Mata excitedly.
"What, what is that? How did you give him that ability? Is it some new type of biochemical virus? My God, that's simply a miracle!"
In his view, all supernatural abilities come from artificial technology.
"Go ask Dr. Fritz when you get to the base. I'm sure he'd be happy to tell you about our world, but I'm not really interested."
"Let's go, you heard what I just said, get in the car!"
Mata, unconcerned, swayed her sexy waist and pert buttocks, walking with graceful cat-like steps toward a carriage in 'Kokujo'.
Outside the station.
"They are..."
Team Leader Ron and his group, who were leading Biba Amatori, Ikoma, Mumei, all looked delighted as they saw the large group running out.
"Has the Army arrived yet?!"
At this moment, Mumei had already woken up and was standing expressionlessly beside Ikoma.
Having learned her lesson, she dared not misbehave again, but her eyes kept darting back and forth.
Whether it's her or Biba Amatori.
They all stared in astonishment at the Army troops passing by.
Judging from their direction, they seem to be heading into the city.
"Are they trying to eliminate the Kabane behind them?"
Having calmed down, Biba Amatori smiled familiarly and asked.
"Of course, every Kabane is a valuable resource, how could we just leave them to fend for themselves?" Team Leader Ron said matter-of-factly.
"But you're really ruthless, kid. You killed so many people just to avenge your father."
Biba Amatori's face darkened as she asked, "You actually know about my affairs?"
"More or less."
At this moment, a male member of CP9 replied with a smile, "However, we can't let you ruin Kongokaku. As for whether you can get Keisuke Amatori, it depends on what the higher-ups want. You can talk to them about it then."
"So that's how it is. Is it because of Kongokaku that you attacked me?"
"No, besides that, you're quite valuable on your own, kid. Have some confidence in yourself; you're a talent!"
Just then, as they walked toward the station, chatting and laughing, a series of gunshots, different from those of the Steam Gun Biba Amatori and the others were familiar with, began to ring out behind them.
Compared to the muffled sound of Steam Gun, the sound of an automatic rifle is obviously much louder, and more importantly, its much higher rate of fire makes the gunshots very dense and rapid.
This made Biba Amatori, who has always been interested in military matters, very eager to go and take a look.
But clearly, Team Leader Roy and his team wouldn't allow it.
"Ahhh, no!"
"Run! Run!"
"Live on, son, you must live on!"
The town center of Iwato Station had long since become a living Hell, with Kabane everywhere frantically chasing and biting people who were desperately trying to escape or resisting with Steam Gun.
"Mother!!"
A boy who looked to be only ten years old watched with tears streaming down his face as his young mother, wielding a stick, launched a suicidal charge at several Kabane whose mouths were full of blood.
But with the city's garrison completely collapsed and even massacred by the Hunters, how could a young child possibly escape?
The mother was well aware of this, but she felt that even if it was just for a second, it would be worth it if her son lived a few more minutes than her.
[Call------]
Just as the little boy was about to witness his mother being eaten alive by the Kabane, a large amount of sandstorm suddenly appeared in the surrounding air, covering an area of hundreds of meters in radius.
Countless yellowish-brown pebbles formed a rapidly spinning sand wall around all the survivors, sending all the Kabane rushing towards them flying.
"Ha ha ha ha--"
The next moment, a long, labored laugh echoed throughout the entire Iwato Station, momentarily drowning out the Kabane's roars and the desperate screams of the people.
It inexplicably became a voice of hope for those still struggling to survive in this Hell.
