The battle was finally about to begin.
Fangzheng stood on a hillside not far away and looked down at the soldiers below. The situation in Tokyo was still relatively stable. The reason was simple. Although the media had reported the appearance of a large number of Protoenteron in the surroundings, there was no sign of the Taurus. The wooden monolith was also very safe. There were no problems. In the minds of most people, as long as the monolith was fine, Tokyo was safe.
Not to mention, the government had deliberately covered up the news about the Taurus. Only a few people knew about this secret. Moreover, the Taurus had been lurking in the deep sea. Only satellites could capture the fluctuations it emitted from time to time to determine its path and direction.
At present, Tokyo had formulated a battle plan. The combat troops would first clean up all the Protoenteron in Narita and Ryuzaki, then build a defensive line here. They wanted to launch an attack on the Taurus the moment it landed on Deer Island, hoping to completely repel or kill it. If they could not do that, they could at least give Tokyo enough time to react — at least enough time for the high-ranking officials to evacuate early.
As for the ordinary people … .they could do whatever they wanted. After all, the Zodiac had destroyed the entire planet and forced human civilization to the brink of destruction. Thousands of cities had been destroyed in front of them, so they were not afraid of one more.
Right now, the soldiers were fighting the Protoenteron. As for Fangzheng and the others, they were just watching from the sidelines.
It was not that they were slacking off, but the Self-Defense Forces had asked them not to go to the front without orders. So, Fangzheng simply found a shady place at the back and played games with the other children.
Although Bushita and the others were surprised by this order, Fangzheng did not think there was anything wrong with it. It must be known that these Self-Defense Forces were the "heroes" of the Second Protoenteron War. In fact, it was they who won the Second Protoenteron War eight years ago and saved the people here from the brink of extinction. With such a glorious "historical achievement", these soldiers were naturally full of confidence in themselves. This was also the reason why it was difficult for the Son of Heaven's proposal to be passed in parliament. Eight years ago, because of the victory in the Second Protoenteron War, many officers at that time had risen to the top, and they were now in high positions. For them, as long as they could deal with the Protogut, there was no difference between eight years ago and eight years later. In the past, without those damned monsters, they had also eliminated the Protozoa. Therefore, these military representatives had always been rather unhappy with the Tendo Temple.
It was the same this time as well. The order they sent out was not polite at all. They even threatened to say, "If you don't listen to orders and go to the frontlines, you won't be responsible for any accidental injuries."
What else could Fangzheng say?
Slacking was the most important thing!
Of course, he wasn't doing this out of blind confidence.
"— — — —!!!"
"They really know how to cause trouble."
Fangzheng rubbed his ears in annoyance as he listened to the roars of the fighter jets whizzing across the sky. He wanted to take an afternoon nap, but those damn bastards seemed to be deliberately going against him as they launched a series of continuous aerial bombardments on the Protogut Fauna.
They were just taking advantage of the fact that the enemy's aerial units weren't here and only dared to show off their prowess against the ground units. What was there to be proud of about sending the infantry to finish them off?
Fangzheng couldn't figure out where these people's confidence came from. There were also aerial Protogut Fauna, just that they didn't show up this time. Did they really think that mortars and aerial bombardments could take care of the Protogut Fauna? Forget it. Since my mission is to clean up the mess, it doesn't matter whose mess I clean up — it's all a mess anyway.
"Big Brother, do they really not need our help?"
Bushcui asked worriedly as she gazed at the battlefield in the distance. The continuous aerial bombardments were effective and basically wiped out all the Protogut Fauna in the battle zone. Meanwhile, the soldiers began to set up defensive positions. Of course, no one cared about Fangzheng and the 'Cursed Children', and Fangzheng couldn't be bothered to deal with them either.
"There's no need for that. Those people have their own pride. Just let them be."
As he spoke, Fangzheng reached out to stroke Bushcui's head and pinched her cute cat ears. The little loli blushed, but she did not dodge. Instead, she rubbed against Fangzheng's hand like a cute kitten.
"Big Brother's hand … is so warm …"
"Ahhh — —!"
At that moment, Yanzhu suddenly jumped out from the side.
"You're so cunning, Little Cui! This time, I'm going to — —! "
"That's enough, you guys."
Fangzheng stopped Lanyuan Yanzhu, who was pouncing on him, and pushed her back. Ever since the first time he was' ambushed 'by Hina, the other children seemed to have received some sort of hint. Not only did they block Fangzheng and ask for kisses after the battle (in the end, Fangzheng had to kiss each of them on the cheek in order to pass the test), but after that, whenever Fangzheng behaved intimately with any of the children, the children next to him would immediately rush over and ask for the same treatment. Fortunately, Fangzheng was a decent person. Except for the time when he was ambushed by Hina, he did not do anything to the children that was worth calling the police.
This time, Fangzheng had brought more Tweakers than before. There were a total of thirty-five people. These were the children who had completed their Tweakers and were ready to fight Protozoa. Furthermore, they didn't have too much of a psychological burden or had strong willpower and were willing to enter the battlefield.
In fact, so far, Fangzheng had already converted more than 300 "Tweakers", but Fangzheng did not let them all participate in the battle. Even though many of the "Tweakers" seemed to have a high value on paper, they had neglected one thing: they were still children.
And children who were not even ten years old.
Anything could happen on the battlefield. Being surrounded by the Protozoa, being ambushed in the dark, being overwhelmed by the Protozoa, being injured or dead, facing the crisis of life and death. Even a new recruit who had undergone strict training might not be able to accept these things when he stepped onto the battlefield, let alone these children.
For example, it was like facing a gun. Almost all the "Cursed Children" had dynamic vision that could easily capture the trajectory of bullets, and they had the speed and reflexes to easily dodge shots. Whether it was a handgun or an automatic rifle, as long as they wanted to dodge, they would definitely be able to.
But why were there still so many "Cursed Children" being shot? The reason was that the moment they were pointed at by the black muzzle, their minds would go blank and they would completely lose the reaction they should have. Other than dodging instinctively, they would not remember anything. Not to mention observing the position of the muzzle and calculating the trajectory of the bullet.
In fact, it was the same for ordinary people. Many people would complain about why the people next to them didn't dodge when they saw the villain holding a gun in a movie. However, only when the gun was pointed at them would they realize that they couldn't move at all, let alone dodge.
And for such "Cursed Children," even after the adjustment, Fangzheng would not let them go to the battlefield. Otherwise, even if they had the ability to easily deal with Phase I Protozoa, they would probably be devoured alive by those monsters. This was not a game where you could just go straight to the battlefield with a click of the mouse and die without hesitation.
Because of this, after rigorous training and exercises, Fangzheng first selected 100 "Adjusters" with more outstanding combat ability and brought them to the ground for actual combat with the Protozoa. As a result … .less than 30 of them passed and became members of this battle. The others, due to various reasons, were all sent back to the Tendo Temple by Fangzheng.
But it was more than enough to deal with those Protozoa.
"Okay, the battle will start late at night. Go and rest first. If you don't get enough sleep, you won't have the strength to fight at night."
Stroking Yan Zhu's little head, Fangzheng quickly gave orders to the girls around him. So far, no one knew when the Protozoa led by the Taurus would arrive. But with his prophecy spell and Future Vision, Fangzheng knew very well that they would start to land on the beach in the middle of the night. As for the result ….
Well, let's keep them guessing.
Looking at the defensive position in the distance, Fangzheng yawned silently, then leaned against a tree next to him and closed his eyes.
