Plan X Squad

The city closest to the border.

In a hotel.

Kite and her two companions are sitting here.

Killua sat beside him, tossing a broken piece of wood in his hand, his eyes fixed on him, seemingly lost in thought.

Kite sat at the table, occasionally flipping through the book in her hands.

At that moment, there was movement on the bed.

Both of them looked over.

Gon, who had been unconscious, woke up at this moment and immediately sat up in bed.

He first looked at Killua, who was unharmed, and then at Kite beside him, and gave her a bright smile.

"Thank goodness, you're all alright."

As he spoke, he opened his arms and hugged Killua.

Killua smiled and hugged the other person.

It was only then that Gon suddenly realized that both his hands were still there.

He stared in shock at his own arm, then touched his legs, and turned his head to see that even Kite's arm had been reattached.

"That's amazing."

To be honest, he felt that it was already quite an achievement that he had survived.

He genuinely believed he was going to die.

He felt those injuries and the sensation of life slipping away very clearly.

Then, Gon Jie inquired about the current situation of the two.

Killua recounted the events of that day to him.

In the end, Killua shook his head helplessly.

"I was thinking of seeing if we could work together, but I was rejected because we're not strong enough."

Killua said, tossing the broken piece of wood in his hand.

Gon raised his eyebrows, clenched his fist, and encouraged himself.

"It's okay, we can definitely win and then join the battle."

Looking at the two of them, Kite smiled and said, "With your talent and strength, you'll definitely be fine, but you still need to recover a bit."

In Kite's opinion, the two of Gon were already elite-level players.

It just takes some time; as they grow older, they will become stronger.

When he reaches the same age as him, Kite can say with absolute certainty that he will not last a single round against these two.

Their fighting habits allowed them to grow rapidly in battle.

It can compensate for the lack of experience caused by young age.

Gon smiled and nodded; he agreed.

He looked at Kite and asked.

"Kite, you didn't go either?"

He felt that with Kite's abilities, she should be able to join the Extermination Team.

Kite shook her head helplessly. "I was slightly injured in that battle and need some time to recover."

It wasn't a serious injury, but rather a side effect of taking too much medication.

The potion is, after all, a product of Nen ability. Excessive use depletes something mysterious and mysterious: so-called Life Force.

Therefore, the body needs some time to recover.

How many potions did he use during that hour-long battle?

There are at least more than six.

Only later did he realize that using more potions was pointless; his opponent was just using him as a punching bag.

The stronger he became, the more excited his opponent became.

"Just in time for this recovery period, I'm waiting for someone."

Late at night.

NGL Autonomous Region.

The Extermination Team took a long detour, circling around the territory, and ended up behind the Ant Nest.

After all, the area directly in front of them was already under surveillance due to the previous battle.

They stopped on a hill.

Chairman Netero stood at the edge, raised one hand, formed a circle with his fingers, and looked into the distance.

With the Hunter x Hunter's keen eyesight, everyone here could see to the very limit of their field of vision.

And this is the spot where you can just see the Ant Nest.

It's just that there's no obstruction to the view, and it's extremely far away.

No matter how vast the circle, it can't reach this place.

"That guy looks really strong—stronger than me."

Netero had already spotted Neferpitou, who was guarding the top of the Ant Nest, from afar.

Hearing the Chairman's words.

Nobu, standing next to him, adjusted his glasses and said helplessly, "The Chairman's joke has gone a bit too far. If someone is stronger than you, no Hunter x Hunter can keep them in check."

Netero chuckled and said, "Half a century ago, I might have been the strongest Nen user, but now—"

He glanced at the crowd.

Morel, Nobu, Melusina, Men Qi, Buhaci.

"Probably on par with you guys."

Everyone rolled their eyes at these words.

What merit or ability do we possess?

Even Melusina, who saw things most clearly, knew this perfectly well.

In terms of capacity, only I can compare to the Chairman.

The problem is that mental capacity is just a very basic thing and cannot be judged by strength.

Not to mention the extra Nen she possesses, which is stored through the storage batteries provided by the potion.

It doesn't actually increase combat power, it just improves endurance.

The Chairman, however, is a pure martial artist, a true fighter.

Known as the strongest Nen user.

It is said that he is over one hundred years old.

Years of experience and skill have culminated in a truly formidable monster.

Nobu adjusted his glasses and said helplessly.

"That's already very powerful. Please have confidence."

Netero shook his head helplessly, looking very sad about his current state; his expression couldn't be more fake.

"My current strength is less than half of what it was in my prime. I really don't want to get old."

At this point, Melusina couldn't help but retort, "Then why don't you just go eat Longevity Rice?"

These words immediately silenced the conversation.

Netero chuckled and said, "That's not easy."

Go to the Dark Continent.

He has been there more than once.

The problem is that he went there during his peak years.

At that time, he didn't even think about getting old.

The goal was never Longevity Rice.

Seeing that the topic was about to go off-topic, Morel quickly said something.

"Then we still have to fight, don't we? These Chimera Ant have become very dangerous."

Nobu immediately chimed in.

"That's right. According to those experts, although they have different opinions, the shortest timeframe they've given is two months."

Their plan was based on a two-month timeframe.

Netero stared ahead at the Ant Nest in the distance.

"I think it's best to avoid it as much as possible. The simplest way to resolve it is the best, after all, our only target is the Queen."

Their squad was undoubtedly an elite squad.

Before arriving, Netero hadn't expected to encounter Melusina and the others.

Even if we encounter it, our goal will not change.

By eliminating the Ant Queen, the potentially dangerous birth of the Ant King can be prevented.

Other Chimera Ant will naturally be eliminated by more people.

They only need to deal with the most threatening target.

That's not easy.

Melusina looked into the distance.

She wasn't the only one around the Ant Nest; everyone around could see it clearly.

That irregular, freely spreading "circle"

The area was so vast that it was impossible for them to launch a sneak attack, let alone infiltrate it.

"It seems our previous actions frightened her; we alerted her a bit."

Men Qi said with a hint of helplessness.

She only saw this kind of circular distance, this irregular nature, in Kevin.

Battle is inevitable.

Netero turned to him and asked, "Do you have any good ideas?"

That's what he said, but judging from the support staff he brought, it was clear that he had already come up with a plan.

Nobu sighed.

This old man is really hard to please.

"You already have the answer, don't you? Take them out one by one quietly."

As he spoke, a dark, round hole appeared beneath his feet.

He reached inside and took out a huge object, then tossed it to Morel.

Melusina and the others watched quietly.

But their gazes were already fixed on that Black Hole.

They had already witnessed it before they even took action.

That Nen ability.

To put it bluntly, that was exactly what Kevin had always dreamed of.

Space storage capacity.

They didn't know the specific conditions or restrictions, and it was awkward for them to ask upon first meeting, as it would be very impolite.

But now we all need to work together.

It shouldn't be a problem to learn about it, right?

Men Qi, who knew Kevin's plan clearly and was even a member of the team, spoke up directly.

"If you don't mind, could you tell me how powerful your Nen ability is?"

Nobu adjusted his glasses and finally asked.

Anyone who knows about his Nen ability is bound to be curious.

"Of course, no problem. After all, we're already comrades-in-arms."

He then proceeded to provide a detailed introduction.

"My Nen ability is [Four-Dimensional Apartment], which is a four-story Apartment building with twenty-one rooms. Each room is independent but of standard size. I can open the entrance and enter freely. It can be used to store supplies. Of course, since it's Apartment, living in it is not a problem."

After listening to this introduction.

Men Qi's eyes widened as she turned to look at Melusina beside her.

Melusina was also looking at her.

They both read the message in each other's eyes.

Nobu seemed to have understood this all along.

He said directly, "Don't overthink it. I never join other people's factions. After all, I'm a Hunter x Hunter."

It's perfectly fine to temporarily entrust someone with some tasks.

But I'd rather not hire them long-term.

He was acutely aware of how important his Nen ability was to a power.

He'd encountered countless such offers before.

Melusina was neither surprised nor discouraged.

Having such Nen ability and still being single means she must have her own personality, which is perfectly normal.

There's plenty of time. As long as we tell Kevin this information, Kevin 'll naturally figure out a solution.

It doesn't matter if it really doesn't work out.

While it is indeed a very suitable option, they do have Shalnark, so it's not absolutely necessary.

"Oh ho ho, Nobu, you're quite popular."

Netero chuckled beside him.

At this moment, Morel had already taken out the object, which was a huge Pipe.

As he absorbed...

A large amount of purple smoke billowed out.

Melusina watched.

As the smoke emerged, it transformed into countless tiny rabbits until the surrounding area was completely filled with them.

I understand now.

The Manipulation Type looks like Materialization Type or Emission Type.

But the smoke was already there; the Pipe was the device that produced the smoke.

The other party was manipulating the smoke.

Having followed Kevin and gained a deep understanding of the Nen ability system, Melusina immediately recognized Kevin's ideas for building his Nen ability.

Many people believe that the Emission Type allows Nen to persist even after it leaves the body.

However, if we have to pinpoint the core concept, it's actually the Manipulation Type.

Because once something Manipulation Type succeeds, its scope can be quite extensive.

The Emission Type simply means that even after the Nen Aura leaves the body, its power remains at 100%.

Through this method.

The Manipulation Type allows one to control their Nen Aura even at extremely long distances.

The effects of the Manipulation Type might even give these manipulated objects a certain degree of agency.

"You plan to slowly eliminate the Chimera Ant bit by bit until their numbers reach a safe threshold before launching an attack on the Ant Nest?"

Men Qi easily understood their purpose and asked.

Netero chuckled and said, "Do you have a better idea?"

The wicked old man, though claiming to be asking, had already planned everything.

But after careful consideration, Men Qi realized there was no point in refuting it.

A day has passed since that battle.

It's impossible to lure Cat Woman away now; they've already alerted her.

The estimated number of guards is three to five.

Everything must be calculated based on the most dangerous scenario.

For example, the birth of a king is determined by the minimum two months.

For example, the number of guards can be set to five.

In a state of being already frightened.

Perhaps the guards from then on will all stay firmly in the lair.

Just thinking about enemies of five Cat Woman level.

Men Qi's scalp was tingling with fear.

And the most terrifying thing is that it's already clear that these Chimera Ant possess Nen ability.

So many Chimera Ant, so much Nen ability.

Many Nen ability have the effect of killing someone upon first sight, and those with control or separation effects definitely exist.

They just barged in like that.

The level of danger has been raised to almost the extreme.

It's no different from being dead.

Even if Chairman Netero does manage to eliminate the Queen in the end.

Most of them are probably dead too.

Moreover, there's only a certain probability of achieving the goal.

The risk is too great.

Thinking this, Men Qi could only angrily curse, "How did these Chimera Ant learn Nen ability?"

Without Nen ability, many things would be much easier to solve.

These words made Buhaci scratch his head in bewilderment.

Because if you think about it carefully...

They are absolutely responsible.

They showed Neferpitou the diversity of Nen ability, demonstrating that even enemies weaker than her could use Nen ability to annoy their opponents.

We will not consider mindless, low-level Chimera Ant.

The likelihood that slightly higher-ranking Army Leader and Division Leader have already mastered Nen ability is definitely not low.

After all, their intelligence is no different from that of humans.

This is troublesome.

"Alright, let's get started."

By this time, Netero had taken off all his clothes, revealing his vest and his muscular body.

Looking at his energy and spirit, you can't possibly equate him with a centenarian.

At this moment, Netero's Fighting Spirit was faintly emerging, and he began to fully unleash his aura.

The Guanyin Bodhisattva of a Thousand Hands seemed to appear on him.

Without saying a word to the others, he jumped directly into the door that Nobu had opened.

"They're really impatient; their drive is truly admirable."

Nobu said, and then closed the door.

I took out my phone.

"After that, the Chairman will contact us via mobile phone from inside."

"Can we still make calls both inside and outside the office?"

Indeed, its name is simply "Apartment".

Maybe they'll even be able to get water and electricity.

That probably won't work, right?

Nobu ignored what they were thinking and looked at Melusina and the others.

"And you? What are your plans?"

After all, the three of them weren't originally part of the planned team.

But the three's abilities are beyond doubt.

Melusina thought for a moment.

He said, "It must be quite troublesome for you to move those Chimera Ant in, right? We can take care of the Chimera Ant that can't be moved in."

Men Qi nodded and opened her arms wide.

A large amount of Nen Aura surged out.

One bird after another appeared, and they looked exactly like real birds, so lifelike.

The flock of birds dispersed and flew away.

"Oh dear, isn't this completely taking away my job?"

Morel slapped his forehead and said regretfully.

The other side's method seems to be more effective at reconnaissance than his.

"Many hands make light work, and since I'm good at scouting, we can monitor the entire area around the Ant Nest."

We were able to monitor every single Chimera Ant as it moved.

Morel nodded.

If it were just him alone, he certainly couldn't have controlled almost the entire situation.

After all, there are quite a few Chimera Ant, and this forest is not small either.

"Then let's just split up and act. That would be more efficient. Before the king comes out, those members of the Direct Guard should not come out rashly."

"Even if we encounter each other, we can at least withstand one wave of fighting, whichever side it is. We just need to send a signal when the time comes."

This method is faster and can identify targets more quickly.

It might not even take two months.
