Chapter 572: Airstrike

Translator: _Min_Editor: Rundi

In the mountain range south of City K. One helicopter and two figures appeared.

One was kneeling down while one was standing.

Tanaka seemed to be tired from kneeling down. He stood up, opened his arms toward Kejia in the darkness, and smiled.

”Do you see it? My masterpiece.”

A man in a suit stood beside him. He was holding onto the binocular while watching the chaos in the city.

”Just from a weapon point of view, it's not bad.”

As a businessman, that was his impression.

”No wonder it is President Tanimura. Whether it is the attitude or diction is all similar to the bad guys,” Tanaka said.

Without funding and connections, any conspiracy wouldn't have a starting point. The reason ”Kurofune's” plan could succeed must be attributed to the soil and nutrient provided by Nippon government and corporations. This type of impeccable ”weapon” with military and economic value was perfect for Takeda Pharmaceutical who could make a handsome amount through the vaccine business or to the Nippon government eager to expand its military influence.

For example, if the virus were to break out in their annoying country, what would happen? The only company, Takeda Pharmaceutical, with the anti-virus vaccine would instantly become the wealthiest company in the world overnight, and Nippon who owned Takeda Pharmaceutical would complete the feat they failed to achieve in the last century.

But if the Nippon government and Takeda Pharmaceutical really knew Tanaka's actual plan, would they still think this way?

But they would never know, just like no one will really believe Jiang Chen could travel back and forth to the future, no one would believe Tanaka was setting up for ”aliens” to land on a defenseless planet. Even if one of them named their company as ”Future” while the other named the organization as ”Kurofune”.

Tanimura put down the binocular, glanced at Tanaka without saying any words, and then headed to the helicopter.

”Are you not going to look a bit longer?” Tanaka turned around and laughed.

”No need, the board only needs to confirm the practical value of the virus,” Tanimura's back was turned against Tanaka, and he said without emotion.

”Judging a samurai sword by its 'practical value' would only make the sword lose its shine.”

”Oh?” Tanimura turned around and looked at Tanaka with questions in his eyes.

”You know what killed this city?” Tanaka asked with a smile.

Tanimura raised his eyebrows. ”The virus?”

”Wrong,” Tanaka shook his finger and smiled, ”It is weakness; the weakness that belongs to a civilization…”

Ten kilometers out of City K, the entire west side of the city had fallen. Only one bridge managed to withhold till the end, but five bridges spanned across the river.

…

Weakness destroyed the civilization.

Compassion to the weak, awe to life, respect to law, admiration of rights…

All virtues of humans would eventually become the burden of survival in the face of an unconquerable obstacle.

The man that attempted to use his hug to change the wife that turned into a zombie, the people holding onto the dagger but unable to stab toward the neighbor, the people because of despair who jumped off the building not willing to become the same kind as the zombie…

Standing at the top of the building and looking down the street covered with blood, Jiang Chen came to a deep realization about this point. He disliked this country, but when he witnessed the atrocities that happened in front of his very eyes, he stomach instinctively felt agitated by the gruesome scene.

”These bastards…”

Jiang Chen took a deep breath, reloaded his rifle, took a few steps back before leaping toward the building across from him. He managed to jump over the ten meters of distance with the help of the kinetic skeleton. He leaped between buildings while running to the location of the crash.

The crossfire between the Country F government force and the unknown militants ended already. Out of the eight government soldiers, five were instantly killed while the remaining three only lasted for ten seconds under the fire of fifteen rifles. The helicopter was retreating, but it was taken down by an RPG.

The unknown militants quickly took control of the crash site. A soldier was planning to head into the wreckage to retreat the black box.

Boom!

A bullet penetrated the skull of that solider.

Giles grinning eyes immediately widened and locked onto the building one hundred meters out.

”He's here.”

”Take cover!” Ladisiv signaled. Everyone immediately hid nearby and began firing back to the area.

Jiang Chen was shocked by how fast the militants reacted and continued to fire.

From their calmness against zombies and the lack of masks alone, this information was indicative that the virus must be connected to Tanaka.
