Surrounded

A few days later, Uraraka Shige and the others gathered on a hillside outside a Kamui Woods.

From here, one can vaguely see what appears to be an open area deep within the Kamui Woods; that is the place where the supposed 'AFO' remnants were detected.

Later, Uraraka Shige and the others will sneak into the depths of the Kamui Woods, get close to that place, and, while ensuring their safety and undetectability, find out what's going on there.

Unfortunately, if it weren't for the requirement to remain as undetected as possible, Uraraka Shige could bring a telescope and use his 'Quirk' to fly high into the sky for a bird's-eye view.

If that's the case, then unless all the suspected remnants of 'AFO' are hiding underground, they will almost certainly be exposed to Uraraka Shige's sight.

"Alright, let's go."

With this greeting, Uraraka Shige and his group began their infiltration operations in their own ways.

Stain, relying on his combat experience and rigorous training, moved cautiously on the ground, paying attention to the surrounding environment for any abnormalities, without reducing his movement speed too much.

Spinner, relying on his 'Quirk,' climbed and jumped directly on the tree trunk, never touching the ground or the branches, making him look more and more like a humanoid Gecko.

Gu Yu was somewhat simple-minded, but he was always extremely observant. Although he might not be able to spot any traps or similar things here, he still made the right choice—he followed Stain closely, strictly adhering to Stain footsteps.

Sakinagi Shushin even clung to Gu Yu's back, not moving an inch herself. It's unclear when she and Gu Yu became so close... though their relationship wasn't bad before.

Of the five people present, besides Sakinagi Shushin, Uraraka Shige was perhaps the one who moved forward with the most ease.

He activated his 'Quirk', maintaining a steady 'flying' motion with his feet about three to five centimeters off the ground, looking like a ghost floating close to the ground, only unfortunately not wearing white or red clothes.

Whether there were any traps hidden in this Kamui Woods, Uraraka Shige and the others did not actually know. The reason they were so cautious was purely to prevent any unforeseen circumstances. On the one hand, it was to better complete the requirements, but on the other hand, it was also for their own safety... the latter being of utmost importance.

Despite their extreme caution, they still inadvertently revealed their location... and when they were halfway through their journey, they discovered the miniature surveillance cameras embedded in the tree crevices, and they realized it themselves.

However, it was already too late.

They didn't know when, but they had already fallen into the dense Kamui Woods and were surrounded by strange creatures.

Those who carried out the so-called 'AFO' remnant movement were actually dozens of 'Nomu'.

"Did they move the Nomu factory here after Kamino?!"

Uraraka Shige watched the 'Nomu's' gradually approaching them, she couldn't help but make this comment.

It was perfectly clear to Uraraka Shige that there was no 'Nomu' factory in her mind.

After all, the attention and pursuit of the remaining forces of 'AFO' by the major powers outside has reached a frenzied level.

From large-scale machinery and materials to small-scale clothing and tableware, all markets are in a semi-closed state for the remaining forces of 'AFO' at this time, with each industry having its own giants firmly in control.

As soon as the remaining forces of 'AFO' show the slightest weakness, they will instantly rise from the bottom of the swamp, pounce out, and bite into the weakness that the remaining forces of 'AFO' show have revealed. Then they will tear off a large piece of flesh, or even directly divide and eat the remaining forces left by 'AFO', digesting them in one go.

... like a giant crocodile.

Unfortunately, the remaining forces of 'AFO' seem to have adopted a scattered, hidden strategy. With already few members remaining, they have further dispersed, with almost every member hiding in different cities, looking almost no different from ordinary citizens.

Therefore, the methods employed by those major forces have consistently failed to uncover any accurate evidence or flaws.

It wasn't until these major powers shared and exchanged intelligence to a certain extent that they inadvertently discovered that these pieces of information were interconnected and seemed to subtly point to something, which led to the current actions of Uraraka Shige and others.

Of course, Uraraka Shige and the others were completely unaware of these matters.

They were now contemplating how to deal with the 'Nomu's' that had surrounded them. Should they break through the Nomu and continue exploring the Kamui Woods, or turn in another direction and escape the Kamui Woods as soon as possible to ensure their safety?

However, they soon had no room to continue thinking about it.

Because the power possessed by these 'Nomu' beings was unexpectedly formidable.

"Buzz~"

A loud buzzing sound rang out, and the surrounding air suddenly vibrated violently, instantly pulling Uraraka Shige and the others off balance. At the same time, the loud sound made their heads spin, their vision blurred, and their ears went blank for a brief period of time, followed by a ringing in their ears that lasted only three to five seconds.

The other 'Nomu' took this opportunity to quickly approach them...

After all, the 'Nomu' are cyborgs, and their unique characteristic of having no or extremely weak self-awareness means that they are destined to be affected in the same way, and their resistance to such influence is far greater than that of Uraraka Shige and others.

"Sizzle~"

Suddenly, the arms of a 'Nomu' transformed into two long, thin drills, each large enough to skewer a person, spinning violently. As the 'Nomu' raised its hand, the drills pierced straight towards Gu Yu and Sakinagi Shushin, who were closest to it, seemingly aiming to pierce them both together in one fell swoop, so that they would never be separated again.

At the same time, another 'Nomu' appeared near Uraraka Shige, raising a pair of fists the size of water tanks high and smashing them down on Uraraka Shige's head like a copper hammer. It was feared that if the blow landed, Uraraka Shige's head would explode like a watermelon hit by a baseball bat, with juice splattering everywhere.

Meanwhile, Stain and Spinner also had their own 'Nomu's' attacking them in their own unique ways.

A bright crescent moon hung high in the sky, its dappled light filtering through the gaps in the branches of the Kamui Woods forest, casting shadows on the tree trunks and the ground, creating a serene and aesthetically pleasing scene.

Beneath this tranquil and peaceful scene, Uraraka Shige and the others have fallen into a crisis that most people may never experience in their entire lives.
