CP9 Prepares to Return to Base!

Inside the station, listening to the continuous, intense gunfire outside, Ayame Yomogawa and the others all Zero a hint of joy.

"They are really clearing out the Kabane!"

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

Mata shook her head and calmly replied, "I don't know. This is Army matter, and has nothing to do with us, CIPHER POL."

"This"

With her heart set on the people, Ayame Yomogawa bit her lip and hesitated. Just then, footsteps came from behind. When everyone looked over, they saw that it was Biba Amatori, Ikoma, Mumei, and others being brought over by another group of men in black.

"Miss Ayame!"

"Ikoma!"

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

The familiar faces from the same "Iron Fortress" unit met smoothly, which made the atmosphere lively.

"You must be Souei, the one who researches the Kabane Virus?"

At that moment, Team Leader Ron, dressed in a white lab coat typical of researchers, immediately spotted Souei, who shared the same temperament. Although the latter wore punk-style night vision goggles around his neck, his loose white coat was quite eye-catching.

"It's me. You're the one they were talking about, the one from the Biochemical Research Institute?"

Souei Wei looked at Team Leader Ron, who had walked up to him, and asked, "Did you really create a 'Nue' that retains its own consciousness?"

"'Nue'?" The latter looked at the other party with a puzzled expression.

"He's referring to Steve Guts. They seem to call the Kabaneri with Blue Light Heart 'Nue,'" Mata explained from the side.

"Oh--"

Team Leader Ron Satori and laughed, "You call that 'Nue'? It's a nice name. I'm sure Dean Fritz will like it."

"That's right, Guts has indeed retained his consciousness, and you'll see it soon."

Then he looked at Souei Wei and extended an invitation, "By the way, I heard there's a blue Kabane heart here. Could you please take me to see it, and we can chat for a bit while we're at it?"

"OK!"

Souei Wei didn't hesitate at all. He was now eager to understand what the World Government was, what the Biochemical Research Institute was, and how they managed to keep 'Nue' conscious.

Compared to all of this, his former employer, Biba Amatori, was worthless in his eyes.

The key point is that this new organization called the World Government is clearly much stronger than the Hunters. As long as they are willing to support his research on the Kabane Virus, he would be happy to change places and bosses!

"Now we're just waiting for Laskey and Steve Guts to bring that 'Nue' over. Ah, I really want to get back to base quickly and take a nice hot bath."

Mata stretched lazily and sexily, attracting the attention of many men present. Even the somewhat naive Ikoma and Kurusu blushed and turned their heads away.

This prompted the women standing nearby, including Mumei, Ayame, Yukina, to roll their eyes at the two of them speechlessly.

Even they felt that Mata's clothes and figure were too sexy; a single move from her could make conservative people feel embarrassed.

Only Biba Amatori remained silently gazing towards the direction outside the station, intently listening to the somewhat noisy, continuous gunfire.

"Mata."

At this moment, Laskey and the others finally arrived, with Steve Guts carrying the unconscious Horobi in a princess carry.

"You've finally arrived!" Mata exclaimed with delight.

"Team leader!"

"Team leader!"

The four CP9 members who remained at the station quickly greeted him. Laskey nodded at them, saying nothing about how hard they had worked and just that it was good that everything was alright.

In truth, in this Kabane World, apart from 'Black Mist' and 'Nue', there's nothing that can threaten them.

"Ah, the perfect 'Nue'!"

Suddenly, Souei Wei's excited shout came from the front of the train, "Kokujo". Ron, the team leader behind him, looked at him with a wry smile and jumped off the train before he could say a word.

"This personality really does resemble Dr. Fritz's."

Dr. Souei Wei quickly ran up to Steve Guts and looked him up and down with surprise, especially focusing on the Blue Light Heart on his chest, his neck, and his pupils.

"How did you manage to prevent the virus from invading your brain without using Shackle to block the blood flow to your left carotid artery? And you're a man!"

"Um?"

"Of course I'm a man. Isn't it great to be a man?" Steve Guts said dismissively, scoffing. "As for the virus, we just need to control the bloodstream."

"At first, I couldn't sleep too soundly, but I've gotten used to it, and it's become a bodily instinct, so it's fine."

Souei Wei was speechless after hearing this, three golden question marks appearing above his head. He thought to himself, "What nonsense is this guy spouting? Controlling blood? And it's become an instinct?"

But he immediately thought of the Titans whose body could turn into sand and dust, and realized that this must be some kind of amazing biotechnology.

"It seems I have to join this World Government; it's too tempting." As for whether it's an organization rebelling against the Shogunate, what does that have to do with him?

"Alright, it's time to go!"

Laskey and Mata exchanged a few words in hushed tones, then Lucas adjusted his dark red sunglasses, stepped forward, and coldly warned, "This place is no longer our concern. Return to base immediately."

But then the Ayame Yomogawa came out, looked at him, and earnestly bowed her head to plead.

"My lord, I am the current manager of Aragane Station. There are still many people we brought with us in the castle. May I ask if we can bring them along with the 'Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress' and the surviving people of Iwato Station? I believe they also need our leadership and management."

"Lord Ayame!" The Samurai Kurusu's expression changed.

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

Laskey glanced coldly at Ikoma and snorted, "Shut up, it's none of your business to speak here."

His gaze then shifted to Ayame Yomogawa's pretty face, which exuded a gentle, oriental charm, yet her eyes held an unusual sincerity and determination. In his eyes, this girl's identity was different from Ikoma's.

The former was an orphan who cared about the people, was simple-minded, and was a leader with extremely high political value, while the latter was just an ordinary Kabaneri.

"The army will handle the arrangements for those Army. However, I can help you contact the higher-ups at the base. If they refuse, you'll have no choice but to cooperate."

After pondering for a moment, Laskey gave this answer, which made Ayame and the others look both happy and a little nervous.

The former shook his head slightly, took out Den Den Mushi from his pocket, picked up the receiver on his back, and turned the dial a few times, which attracted the curious glances of the others.

After a few "poo-poo" sounds, the call was quickly answered on the other end.

"Hello?"

"This is CP9's Laskey. We're preparing to bring all key targets back to base, but that female supervisor named Ayame Yomogawa wants to..."

Laskey explained the situation in detail in front of everyone, and after listening, Senior Director Addison laughed and said, "That's great!"

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

"Miss Ayame Yomogawa and those ordinary people are helping the Army manage the civilians there. I imagine the people trust them more, which is very helpful for maintaining order."

Suddenly, the Den Den Mushi's tone turned serious, "However, Souei Wei, Biba Amatori, and those Kabaneri must be brought back to base immediately. There's no room for discussion!"

Two chapters at midnight, the remaining one will be posted this afternoon. Here, I sincerely thank all the readers who have given this book rewards, monthly tickets, recommendations, and subscriptions. You are all incredibly awesome, simply indescribable! (I don't know why, this description suddenly popped into my head, laughing and crying.)

I feel like yesterday's ten updates are something I'll probably never be able to do again in my life; it was truly exhausting.

But now it's all good, the update schedule is finally back to normal, oh well, what a relief!
