Chapter 1989: Parasite
"Did you hear something?"
Inside the armored vehicle were Powell, several Reincarnators, and a squad of fully armed Self-Defense Forces soldiers.
There was no helping it. The county town was much larger and more complex than the US military base, so they had to make up the numbers with Self-Defense Forces personnel. Fortunately, they did not have their own signal interference this time.
