The moment the artillery barrage began, Fang Cheng was already in the air with Ye Yuqing, dodging the attack.
Judging by the force of the explosion, it was probably a 155-millimeter howitzer firing laser-guided shells.
The target wasn't Hasegawa Kohei and his group, but the ammunition depot not far away.
Fortunately, it hadn't set off a chain of explosions. There probably wasn't much ammunition left inside.
Fang Cheng turned to look outside the village. He'd already learned from the mosquitoes that Nakajima Tomoya had arrived with the SOT Unit.
He just hadn't expected them to move so quickly. As soon as they'd deployed, they'd started shelling.

The darkness immediately stirred fear in the experimental subjects. Some screamed, others stood there helplessly, and still others fled in every direction.
"Everyone! Don't panic. Stay with our fighters and get somewhere safe!"
