After Ogata Shitou went on a killing spree, the Profound Immortal Team’s convoy encountered no further obstacles on the road.
The Controller Group of this island was indeed willing to throw lives away to forcibly block the road.
But the problem is...
No matter whether the thods are fair or sinister, ultimately, they must be effective to matter.
Although the Profound Immortal Team’s mission was to prevent the widespread disaster of the Sea Demon and save the innocent Earth humans, which sounds grand and righteous, giving one a feeling of a savior, in essence, the Profound Immortal Team is an extre organization.
This organization, no matter how glamorous it seems on the outside, is black on the inside when you cut it open.
Just like the professions of "pirate" and "assassin," there may be genuinely good-hearted people within who, by chance, do so good deeds, but their essence is dark and bloody.
Throwing away lives not only fails to achieve any result but instead provokes ridicule, sacrificing loyal subordinates and warriors for nothing.
Thus, the convoy of the Profound Immortal Team soon arrived near Yamaguchi.
This area marks the boundary of the Profound Immortal Team’s sphere of influence.
Already clad in protective clothing, the mbers of the organization disembarked the vehicles, loaded their bullets, and set up cannons from supply trucks in a posture of preparing for a positional battle.
...
Honk! Honk! Honk!
Uesugi Rintaro sat in the driver’s seat, frantically pressing the horn.
The loud and piercing honking echoed throughout the street.
Obviously, Uesugi Rintaro was not the only one futilely engaging in an irrelevant task.
"Damn it! All of you, get out of my way!"
"If you want to die, just die by yourself, don’t block my escape route here!"
Uesugi Rintaro’s eyes were about to pop out, his whole body trembling.
Before the Sea Demon called Feng Yuji truly awakened and appeared, most people treated it as a joke and didn’t take it seriously.
Several months into the Extraordinary Era, various aliens and extraterrestrial organisms have been causing chaos on Earth, but except for a few Demon Mountains a little over two months ago, few alien influences could bring about massive casualties.
Back then, during the simultaneous occurrence of several "Demon Mountain battles," apart from Lotus City, which had the Sword Master, Prophet, and Martial God holding the fort, other affected cities, like the City of Sails, were severely devastated.
But at that ti, it was completely different!
That involved a higher-level alien civilization employing technological suppression, rendering the majority of technological creations on Earth unusable!
To many Japanese residents, this so-called Sea Demon disaster was different.
"To hell with different!"
Uesugi Rintaro plunged his hands into his not-so-thick hair, a sobbing tone in his voice: "Those damn experts, lying demons!"
Over the past week, Japan’s Profound Immortal Zhao Guanlan and China’s Prophet Ma Ran stated on different occasions that the Sea Demon disaster would occur at this ti, and Feng Yuji’s awakening would, in a very short period, cause over 6.5 million Earthling deaths.
Six and a half million!
Not six hundred and fifty!
That number sounds like a joke.
In World War II, the total casualties in Germany amounted to just this number.
Even though the Prophet has a great reputation, known for being incredibly prescient and until now every prophesied crisis has arrived without exception, this figure sounds overly exaggerated.
People instinctively don’t want to believe it.
Moreover, with the Controller Groups on this island tacitly acknowledging, in these recent days, countless so-called experts and scholars have erged, offering all kinds of analyses and explanations claiming that while Feng Yuji might exist, it would inevitably die quickly under the technological weapons of Earth humans.
Any creature, no matter how powerful, is still of flesh and blood and cannot withstand Earth humans’ "gunpowder negotiations."
Many years after World War II, it’s not just one or two entities on Earth with nuclear weapons. At the most critical mont, requesting the "nuclear peace friend," the United States, to send a nuclear weapon, what can’t it kill?
So experts even arrogantly assert that Feng Yuji will beco the first "calamity-level" alien creature to be captured by humans, serving as important experintal material for the further developnt of Earth’s biological technology.
The official experts and scholars say so...
Many civilians believe it, albeit paradoxically.
On one hand, they believe the Prophet’s prophecy, thinking Feng Yuji truly exists and the Sea Demon disaster might happen.
On the other hand, they believe that with the prophetic warning, the Controller Group on this island has had ample preparation ti, and the casualties can’t possibly be as exaggerated as in the prophecy.
Possibly, only a few dozen might die, at most a few hundred, that’s the limit.
Uesugi Rintaro considers himself very smart.
He doesn’t really trust those so-called experts and the Controller Groups.
Compared to those shaless politicians, Uesugi Rintaro is more willing to believe the Prophet from the Other Shore, who is kind-hearted, selfless, sincere, reliable, and always keeps promises.
He had long guessed that after Feng Yuji’s awakening, it would cause a storm of blood in Nagasaki.
And those Controller Groups busy fighting the Profound Immortal Team, the hastily arranged defenses, might quickly be breached by Feng Yuji, and the ss would later be cleaned up by the powerhouses of the Profound Immortal Team.
Reality proved Uesugi Rintaro right.
Unfortunately, he only got it partially right.
"I overestimated that bunch of worthless idiots!"
Uesugi Rintaro looked at the completely blocked road ahead, his face flushed with anger.
He punched the windshield with all his might, creating spiderweb-like cracks: "The Prophet and the Profound Immortal kindly gave out the warning so much earlier, and this is what it led to?"
"This is the result?"
The defenses arranged by Nagasaki were like paper, unable to withstand even a second in front of Feng Yuji, and were directly torn apart!
Feng Yuji, who sounds like a marine creature, indeed erged from the ocean but possessed the ability to fly!
Not only that, Feng Yuji, floating in the sky, wherever it went, any region would start to rain black rain!
Anyone who ca into contact with the raindrops would be corroded into a pool of blood in a very short ti.
And the blood would be absorbed by the black rain, making its color more intense, flowing back into Feng Yuji’s body, making it larger and stronger, extending the range of the summoned rain clouds!
The fully ard individuals could barely protect themselves, let alone the civilians!
The reason Uesugi Rintaro understood so clearly was because...
He was previously in Nagasaki.
People who consider themselves smart often like to take risks.
Knowing there are tigers on the mountain, they insist on going up the mountain. Not because of courage, but because...
Crises often co with opportunities.
"Profound Immortal Team!"
"Right now, we..."
"The only thing we can rely on is the Profound Immortal Team!"
