164: The cherry blossom country has gone completely mad!

Yamamoto Taro was stunned when he saw how crazy Kishida Jiro was acting.

Kishida Jiro ignored him completely and continued to issue orders:

“Yamamoto!”

“Transmit my order!”

“All troops currently blocking the Biochemical Monsters must retreat.”

“Furthermore, the Self-Defense Forces in other regions must all gather around the Tokyo Meridian Area!”

“As for the other regions... ignore them!”

The last few words were spoken lightly, yet they carried a chilling, bone-deep coldness.

Yamamoto Taro's pupils constricted abruptly, and his face instantly turned deathly pale.

“Prime Minister! Have you gone mad?!”

He rushed forward two steps, his voice choked with tears: “There are still hundreds of millions of citizens in those other regions!”

“Without the army blocking them, those monsters will devour the entire Sakura Country!”

“We cannot abandon them!”

Kishida Jiro sneered, his eyes as cold as ten thousand years of frozen ice.

“Abandon them?”

“The moment the UN General Assembly passed the resolution, we lost our retreat path!”

He pointed out the window, his voice suddenly rising: “Are you unaware of the grudges between the Great Xia Country and us?”

“They are deploying troops independently, not to save us! They are coming to take advantage of our misfortune!”

“Rather than letting the Great Xia Country gain a good reputation, it's better to let the monsters destroy everything!”

“By then, the entire Blue Star will be dragged into this mess!”

“The Great Xia Country wants to remain untouched? Dream on!”

Yamamoto Taro watched his insane appearance, his heart sinking little by little.

“But... but those citizens are innocent!”

“Innocent?” Kishida Jiro suddenly grabbed his collar, his fingernails digging deep into Yamamoto's skin.

“Talking about innocence now? It's too late!”

“Either be controlled by the Great Xia Country and become their puppets!”

“Or, let the entire Blue Star perish along with us!”

“Which do you choose?!”

His eyes were bloodshot, like an uncontrollable beast.

Yamamoto Taro was intimidated by his imposing manner, his lips trembling, unable to speak.

“I don't have time to waste talking to you!”

Kishida Jiro pushed him away and threw a signed order in front of him.

“Go execute it immediately!”

“If you waste any time, you will be the first one to die!”

Yamamoto Taro looked at the order, which bore the Sakura Seal, his hands shaking.

He knew that Kishida Jiro had completely lost his mind.

But he had no room to resist.

He could only pick up the order and stagger out of the office.

The moment the door closed, Kishida Jiro suddenly burst into laughter.

The laughter was shrill, echoing throughout the empty office.

“Great Xia Country... Blue Star...”

“You all just wait for me!”

“Even if I, Kishida Jiro, die, I will drag all of you down to hell with me!”

Sakura Country, Western Garrison Base.

A piercing alarm suddenly sounded.

Soldiers rushed out of their barracks, confusion plastered across their faces.

“What's going on? Have the Biochemical Monsters attacked?”

“That can't be right, we're still hundreds of kilometers away from the monster zone!”

Just then, the Commander, holding the order, quickly walked onto the high platform.

“Attention, everyone!”

His voice spread throughout the entire base via broadcast: “By order of the Prime Minister!”

“Immediately pack up equipment and abandon the base!”

“In two hours, all personnel must gather in the direction of the Tokyo Meridian Area!”

“Repeat! Abandon the base and gather toward the Tokyo Meridian Area!”

The soldiers immediately erupted in chaos.

“What? Abandon the base? What about the citizens here?”

“Commander, if we leave, who will protect them when the monsters arrive?”

The Commander's face turned ashen, and he slammed his fist on the table: “This is the Prime Minister's order! Execute it!”

“Anyone who dares to disobey will face military justice!”

The Japanese devils soldiers looked at the Commander's icy gaze and could only lower their heads.

One by one, they began frantically packing their gear.

Trucks roared to life, carrying soldiers and supplies, driving toward the Tokyo Meridian Area.

The Japanese devils in the cities surrounding the base completely panicked upon seeing this scene.

“baka! Why is the entire army withdrawing?”

“Are they perhaps going to block the Biochemical Monsters?”

“They must be! Our army definitely wouldn't abandon us.”

“...”

The same scene.

Was playing out at various garrison bases across the Sakura Country.

Northern Border Base, Eastern Coastal Base, Southern Island Garrison... military vehicles, one after another, loaded with soldiers, converged toward the Tokyo Meridian Area.

The armies originally guarding the various towns instantly withdrew.

The entire Sakura Country, except for the area around the Tokyo Meridian Area, completely lost its defenses.

A town near Qingshui Town.

Inside a temporary shelter.

Dozens of survivors were squeezed into an abandoned warehouse, their faces haggard.

Suddenly, someone ran in excitedly, holding a phone.

“This is great! Good news!”

“The UN General Assembly meeting passed the resolution! The Great Xia Country is going to deploy troops independently to help us eliminate the monsters!”

The survivors instantly raised their heads, their eyes bursting with the light of hope.

“Really? The Great Xia Country is coming?”

“Yoshi! We are saved!”

“I knew it, the Great Xia Country are good people! They wouldn't stand by and watch us die!”

An old grandmother tightly grasped the Child next to her, tears streaming down her face: “Child, did you hear that?”

“The people from the Great Xia Country are coming, we won't have to die!”

The Child blinked and asked softly: “Grandma, are the people from the Great Xia Country as powerful as Superman?”

The old grandmother smiled and nodded: “Yes! They are even more powerful than Superman!”

“Once they arrive, all those monsters will be annihilated!”

Cheers rose and fell throughout the shelter.

Someone took out the remaining food and distributed it to everyone.

“Come, let's eat something while we wait for the people from the Great Xia Country!”

“Later, we must thank them properly!”

“Exactly! Once this crisis passes, I definitely want to go visit the Great Xia Country!”

Everyone was immersed in the joy of being rescued.

No one knew that the army they depended on for survival had quietly withdrawn.

Even fewer people knew that a much greater disaster was rapidly approaching them... Night fell.

Sakura Country, central city, Nara.

The streets were deserted, with only the streetlights emitting faint beams of light.

Suddenly, a burst of roaring came from the distance.

The sound grew closer and more concentrated.

A horde of Biochemical Monsters was charging toward Nara.

Their numbers were several times greater than before.

Their greenish-black skin shimmered under the moonlight, and their crimson eyes were filled with bloodthirsty desire.

The army originally guarding the outskirts of Nara had already withdrawn.

The monsters rushed into the city without any resistance.

“Roar!”

A Mutated Wild Boar smashed through a store's glass door and frantically tore at the merchandise inside.

Several Biochemical Monsters rushed into a residential building, and screams instantly erupted.

“Ah! Monsters! Help!”

“baka! Where is the army? Where are the troops?”

“Why haven't the people from the Great Xia Country arrived yet?”

The Japanese devils fled frantically, but their speed was no match for the monsters.

Screams echoed throughout the silent night.

The monsters swept through the entire city like a tide.

On the streets, blood stained the pavement red.

Those who were bitten turned into new monsters within minutes.

Their ranks grew larger and larger.

Charging madly toward the next city... Meanwhile, around the Tokyo Meridian Area.

Military vehicles were densely gathered here.

The soldiers set up temporary defenses, their faces etched with exhaustion.

Yamamoto Taro stood on high ground, looking at the pitch-black night sky in the distance.

His phone suddenly rang.

After answering, a trembling voice came from the other end of the line.

“General... Nara... Nara has been breached by the monsters...”

“The entire city... it's over...”

Yamamoto Taro's body trembled, and the phone slipped from his hand.

The screen shattered as it hit the ground.

He stared at the darkness in the distance, muttering to himself: “It's over... everything is over...”

Just then, a soldier hurried over.

“General! This is bad!”

“A large number of monsters have also been discovered in Chiba City to the east!”

“They... they are heading toward the Tokyo Meridian Area!”

Yamamoto Taro suddenly looked up, his eyes filled with terror.

He suddenly realized.

Kishida Jiro's insane decision had not only failed to drag the Blue Star down.

But had instead pushed the Sakura Country into an abyss of eternal damnation.

And the Tokyo Meridian Area, the capital of the Sakura Country.

Yamamoto Taro closed his eyes in despair.

“The Sakura Country... is truly finished...”

At this moment, he actually wished even more that the Great Xia Country would intervene quickly!
