On the fifth day after Ken Kaneki was captured, the CCG began assembling its forces and moving out. Television stations were also airing special reports.
The public watched this extermination operation closely, hoping the CCG could achieve a flawless victory.
According to the plan, the operation would take place at night.
Huiqi sat in the command vehicle heading toward Ward 11.
Throughout the journey, Kureo Mado kept checking and adjusting the equipment to ensure communications would not be delayed.
Tick... tick... tick... The second hand turned as the various forces gathered in Ward 11.
Half an hour later.
All the vehicles arrived at the building occupied by Aogiri Tree in Ward 11. The perimeter troops were the first to set up their guns and open fire on the ghouls.
They used Q-Barrett rounds, bullets made from kagune that were highly effective against ghouls.
Huiqi rested at the rear. According to Kureo Mado, he could only remain near the command vehicle for now. As their strongest fighter, he had to be deployed wisely. If Special Class Investigators Shinohara and Iwao Kuroiwa needed support, he would have to assist them.
"Amon, are you ready? Let's kill every last one of these bastards."
Kureo Mado held his briefcase in both hands, his eager gaze fixed on the battlefield ahead. Gunfire rang out without pause, flashes lighting up the dark night.
"I'm ready," Kōtarō Amon answered, braced for battle.
"Remember, even if you lose your arms or legs, you must keep fighting."
"Heh, aren't you being a little too harsh on your apprentice? Not everyone is like you." Huiqi coldly interrupted Kureo Mado.
"When it comes to creatures like ghouls, we have to wipe them out, no matter what. Right?!"
Kureo Mado answered with an obsessive look, his hunched body silently speaking volumes.
