The wreckage of the crashed helicopter landed right behind the Stand, and sparks ignited the fuel tank. The next second, a massive explosion occurred, and the heat wave pushed everyone away, even the King was forced to the side.
With her back against the wall, Genjiro pulled out the Spider Cutter and Doji Cutter Yasutsuna from her body, and then looked at the sea of fire.
Those engineering teams have all been wiped out; Sakura has won a great victory.
The king was somewhat surprised; he seemed not to have expected that Genjiro's reign would last so long...
However, the good news is that Genjiro is dead.
"How tragic. A family that has lasted for thousands of years, the guardians of the Japanese nation, has ended its mission just like that." The king lamented, standing beside the burning wreckage. "From now on, there will be no more 'emperors' in the world. But it's for the best, they were never meant to be."
The king weighed the box in his hand. The holy remains captured in the quartz capsule were in his grasp. He had obtained what he had longed for, and it was time to retreat.
He turned around, his back to the wreckage of the helicopter, but before he could take a step, a hand suddenly pierced his heart from behind.
That hand seemed to carry lightning, its penetrating power astonishing!
Lightning Release: Chidori!
Although he didn't aim with his Sharingan, it was a sneak attack, so it didn't matter if he didn't aim. The substitute's right hand used Chidori to pierce through the king's chest, and then the other hand used another ninjutsu, Lightning Release: Purple Lightning!
The Purple Lightning can be activated without the Sharingan, and its cutting ability is no less than that of Chidori. Therefore, the Stand easily severed the King's head with the Purple Lightning.
"So it really did use ancient dragon blood?" Genji looked at the computer screen, where the stand had transformed into a little dragon.
In reality, it was a stand-in who used a transformation spell to become the Little Dragon Man.
"OK, cut!" Gu Ran, the director, called out over the communication line.
At this moment, only Sakura and Genji are still alive in the Red Well; everyone else is dead, and there is not a single living person left.
He said, "This scene ends here. It's time for intermission. Miss Sakura can finish filming and return to the command room. There are some fake priest corpses on another helicopter. Scatter them on the ground. Don't worry, they are all members of the Oni Clan. You can throw them around as you like."
"Yuan Zhinu, you still have to perform in the next scene. How is your injury?" Gu Ran asked.
“I’m fine,” Yuan Zhinv replied through the communication headset.
"Isn't the girl being controlled?" Genji looked at Gu Ran with a puzzled expression.
“I helped break his hypnotic control, so he’s on our side now,” Gu Ran explained.
Yuan Zhisheng asked Gu Ran, "What does 'real king' mean? Does that mean all along, the kings and generals that have appeared have been fake?"
Gu Ran explained: "It should be said that the king generals who appeared before were just substitutes and spokespeople for the king general. The real king general is someone else."
"Who is the true king? Herzog?"
"You'll find out soon enough. I hope you won't be too surprised." Gu Ran handed the iPad to Yuan Zhisheng, which showed the current location of the bulletproof Mercedes that had previously transported Erii.
Yuan Zhisheng looked at the location of the Mercedes, which was almost at Hongjing, and he immediately understood Gu Ran's meaning.
"In other words, the one who pretended to be the driver and wanted to take Erii away was the real King." He looked at the monitor screen, hoping to uncover the truth.
During the halftime break, Gu Ran focused his attention on his mother.
He had originally prepared a large firework display for himself, but since that's the case, he'll let his mother have some fun instead.
*……*……*
Meanwhile, Angers' helicopter is flying towards the artificial island of fireflies.
On the way, Angers explained the current situation to Zhang Qiong. When Zhang Qiong heard that her son planned to nail the god to the Red Well, she couldn't help but frown.
"You brat," Zhang Qiong cursed, but didn't say anything more. She just took out her satellite phone and hesitated whether to call her son.
Unexpectedly, an unfamiliar phone number called.
After she answered the call, she heard her son's voice.
"Mom, you're being naughty. Why did you come to Tokyo? Don't you believe I can handle this?"
Zhang Qiong asked in confusion, "How come you have time to call me? Did you manage to get it all sorted out?"
Angers looked at Zhang Qiong. Although the helicopter was very noisy, he still heard what Zhang Qiong said and guessed that it was Gu Ran who was making the call.
Angers was also very concerned about the situation at Red Well.
"It's temporarily over, but not completely finished yet. Where are you, Mom? Are you off sniping corpses in Tokyo Bay?"
"How did you know... I know, there's a tracking device on the phone, isn't there? What a cunning kid."
"Yes, I also have spies in Tokyo Bay, the Corpse Guardian Group, you all saw them, right?"
By this time, the helicopter had flown beyond the coastline and spotted the artificial island of Umi-Hotaru, Tokyo's last line of defense.
Under the searchlight, Angers, Zhang Qiong, Chu Zihang, and Caesar all saw the dense swarms of corpse guards on the sea.
The Corpse Guardian is more troublesome than Deadpool because the Corpse Guardian is an alchemical mummy, a dead thing.
When Angers saw the horde of corpses, he realized he might not be able to return this time, so he took out his phone and called Uesugi Kotsugi: "Have you arrived at the airport?"
"We've arrived. Thank you, thank you Angers. I know I've disappointed you..."
"Alright, I never had any hope for you. I'm calling to tell you something. I originally planned to tell you after you left Japan, but if I don't tell you now, I'm afraid I won't have the chance later. According to our intelligence, you may have two sons!"
The person on the other end of the phone seemed stunned. Angers could only hear a little girl crying in the background, as well as a lot of adults arguing and complaining.
"Huh?" After a long while, Uesugi Etsu finally replied with a single word.
“You heard me right, you have two sons in Tokyo, but neither of you knows the other,” Angers repeated.
"Is it... Yui-sei?"
"Yuyi?"
"Is that Chiyoko? Tsuru? Tomie? It can't be Yoshiko, can it?"
"Damn it, didn't you say you were living a solitary, celibate old age? Where did those cheap old women come from?"
"Don't insult my friends, they are all women with respectable jobs!"
"I almost forgot that the underworld is legal in Japan, and women working in brothels are indeed legitimate working women who have to pay taxes to the government just like everyone else!"
"No, she's the owner of the izakaya... but I always use contraception... so I have a son? You just said I have a son?"
"It's just a guess, but it's pretty close to the truth."
"Who are they? What are their names? Are they doing well...?" Uesugi had many questions he wanted to ask.
But Angers remained silent.
Because his son is repeating the same mistake, and is desperately struggling in the red well, his fate unknown.
As Uesugi Kotsu said, everyone who possesses dragon blood has a painful and tragic life, just like fate.
Angers was outraged by this tragic fate, so he was willing to help Uesugi Kotsugu leave Japan and go to France to see the church where his mother had told him stories years ago.
But he could not change the fate of the Genji brothers, nor could he easily tell Uesugi Kotsugu about the tragedy between them.
So Angers didn't know how to answer.
In the midst of this silence, a powerful earthquake suddenly struck the ground again, and Mount Fuji erupted once more. The volcanic eruption briefly interfered with the magnetic field signal, causing the two to lose communication.
Angers removed his communication headset, and at the same time, the shore-based combat platform slowly descended and placed on the edge of the artificial island of Haiying.
The shore-based combat platform is a defensive unit consisting of a triple-mounted high-speed machine gun, a high-explosive howitzer, a man-portable missile, and an armored shell. It is deployed on the coastline to suppress enemy landing operations.
The problem now is that the horde of undead has split in two and bypassed the artificial island.
“We’re too late. The zombies have already crossed the artificial island,” Zhang Qiong said. “Even if we can build fortifications and firing positions on the island, those zombies simply can’t wait to be killed on the island. We lack a way to lure the zombies to the island.”
“I have a plan.” Angers knew what to do. He looked at Caesar and said, “I remember the Gattuso family has alchemical bullets called ‘Burning Blood.’ Don’t hesitate to use them later.”
"I only have two shots," Caesar said honestly. "Two hundred shots would be more like it."
Chapter 499 The Confused Zhang Family of Nanyang
“My son just called and said that high-purity dragon blood, like royal blood, can attract these corpse guardians back.” Zhang Qiong looked at the principal. “You’re an S-rank, why don’t you give some blood and try it?”
Angers was about to ask Caesar about cutting his wrists and bleeding, but unexpectedly Zhang Qiong saw through it.
His blood, like the royal blood, can also attract corpse guards and death servants.
"Wait a minute." Zhang Qiong pointed to a spot 100 meters away from the artificial island: "There's a ship there. My son just said he's prepared a fireworks show for me there. He told me not to rush and to wait until the ship explodes before letting the principal bleed out."
"When did this ship appear?" Chu Zihang asked with a frown, because the radar had not detected the ship during the reconnaissance, but now it had appeared on the radar, as if it had appeared out of thin air like a ghost ship.
Caesar didn't notice either; his scythe-weasel was disturbed by the sounds of thousands of corpses guarding it, and with the torrential rain and towering waves, he didn't even hear when the ship appeared.
“My son said we were prepared to be there from the beginning. It was probably just that the visibility was low because of the heavy rain and it was nighttime.” Zhang Qiong didn’t suspect too much. At this moment, the helicopter shone its searchlight on the ship, and she felt that the ship looked somewhat familiar.
"Is it a cargo ship?" Angers asked. "What exactly has Gu Ran prepared? Those zombie guards are almost completely past the artificial island."
"Don't rush." Zhang Qiong took out a flashlight and flashed it three times in the sky, as if it were some kind of signal.
Just then, a glass test tube was knocked over on the deck of the cargo ship.
The test tube shattered on the deck, spilling about ten milliliters of blood onto the deck. Because of the heavy rain, the blood was instantly diluted by the rainwater, but the smell still wafted out.
The next second, the corpse guards, who were just charging forward like in a tower defense game, suddenly stopped in their tracks. Then, as if they had discovered something fascinating, they all turned around and rushed back towards the cargo ship.
It's like a shark in the ocean smelling blood!
The next second, the cargo ship started sounding its emergency alarm, seemingly summoning everyone on board to a combat-ready state.
Caesar and Chu Zihang were both stunned by what they saw. The zombies had actually turned around. Chu Zihang immediately stood to the side of the helicopter, took control of the Gatling gun, and prepared to support the cargo ship.
"Wait, don't shoot to help them, that cargo ship is carrying my enemies." Zhang Qiong finally recognized the cargo ship at this moment; it turned out to be the base of the Zhang family in Southeast Asia.
“Principal, please take the two students to the artificial island to set up defensive fortifications. I think that ship should be able to distract them for a while, so hurry up,” Zhang Qiong said.
“Okay.” Angers immediately lowered the rope ladder and went down with Caesar and Chu Zihang to build fortifications. The sulfur bombs were to be transported from the Lava Flow Research Institute and had not yet arrived on the island.
They now have to build fortifications on the island to buy time while they wait for the sulfur bombs to be delivered.
Fortunately, the island's corpse guards ignored the three living people, simply passing over them and rushing towards the cargo ship together.
"I'm very curious about what Gu Ran prepared that could attract the Corpse Guardian to turn around," Caesar asked curiously.
“That kid always has a lot of tricks up his sleeve.” Angers glanced at the cargo ship and guessed that what Gu Ran had placed on it was probably royal blood.
However, it's unclear how he guessed that the Corpse Guardian was coming.
……
The Zhang family's influence in Southeast Asia has been completely eradicated by the Secret Party and the Chinese aristocratic families, leaving only a cargo ship carrying a few old men and some people with special bloodlines adrift at sea.
