The area around Tokyo Building cracked open, pulling people into the crevices and crushing them...

A giant gray dust mushroom billows in the sky. Humanity, numb under such power, has no means to prevent the catastrophe. All they can think is: has the Orochi Great Serpent abandoned them?

The dust blinds their eyes, tears mixing with the dust as if it were swirling mud.

Their once sturdy bodies are now devastated after encountering the demon, crumbling like withered trees.

Helpless eyes and cold hearts, their fate cruelly snatched away by heaven.

They do not blame the heavens, the earth, or others, just their birth in a nation unable to protect them.

They envy Huaxia, envy the east, where people can live peacefully, happily.

Countless families shattered under this misfortune, countless people lost their precious lives.

All of this was brought by Ye Hao and his companions, executioners with no regrets or sense of shame. If one does not fight for oneself, one is doomed; if I do not fight for my nation, how can I be a man?

If my brothers are bullied, I will use my methods to resolve them, end them, much like Jiepeng's hard measures that killed thirty thousand Huaxia men, their wives and children...

The wailing persisted until 11:00 when the Self-Defense Forces and the Guards excavated numerous bodies from the wreckage.

Their tears flow, their hearts ache; these are their families, their homeland. But since the arrival of those Huaxia special ops, this place changed, becoming not the most bustling area of Tokyo, but the place with the highest death toll.

Though filled with anger, they understand this is not the time to blame Huaxia's special ops.

What they must do is settle the tens of thousands of people near Tokyo, preventing them from homeless hardship.

This is the only traditional virtue of Jiepeng people; their soldiers never oppress their own citizens, unlike Huaxia, where power equates to authority, and nothing is done without money.

This is Huaxia's grave illness. If it remains untreated, it will cause Huaxia to become hollow and empty, potentially triggering World War III.

"Wuuu~~ Please find my child! My child is only one year old," pleaded a woman fleeing, separated from her son, begging the Self-Defense Forces.

Kawamoto Omu and several team captains arrived at the scene, but they remained silent before the citizens, having nothing to say.

They reflected on the whole incident: if they hadn't pursued the Huaxia spies, or attracted the Huaxia special ops, none of this would have happened.

But regret was useless; indeed, the Huaxia special ops did it, and they did it thoroughly.

The Self-Defense Forces are angry, but they understand they can't match Ye Hao's team's strength. After all, Ye Hao's team is just four people; once they blend into crowds, firearms become useless against them.

So they entrusted the task of capturing Ye Hao's team to the Sun Team, who took charge of the mission.

Jin San mobilized the Sun Team from the headquarters, ordering them to capture Ye Hao's team at all costs.

He then coordinated with the Jiepeng army admirals, instructing them to secure Tokyo tightly, blocking all entry and exit.

Jiepeng's troops mobilized entirely at 11:30, making it so Tokyo was completely surrounded by soldiers.

Everyone was armed with real firearms and ammunition.

Meanwhile, the happenings in Jiepeng spread globally within just three minutes, though Prime Minister Abe and Emperor Miyazaki at the Jingguo Shrine were completely unaware.

The ritual at Jingguo Shrine has a special rule forbidding any communication devices or conversation.

The foreign dignitaries followed suit, turning off their devices, oblivious to the outside events.

In Huaxia.

In the Yanjing National Institute's Prime Minister's office, he also received a secret note from Jiepeng, but upon viewing the contents, he contacted National Number One with the note.

National Number One, after reading the note, immediately convened a meeting with the military committee and the Huaxia Politburo Committee.

Finally, they unanimously decided to provide some material aid to help Jiepeng Tokyo, while denying those individuals were dispatched by Huaxia.

Ye Hao was unaware of his nation's cold abandonment; he, along with Xue Zhaolong and the others, quickly navigated Tokyo's streets towards Jingguo Shrine.

At 11:40, the shrine visits should have ended, but, oddly, Emperor Miyazaki and Abe haven't dispersed. Perhaps they're up to something this year.

This is beneficial for Ye Hao, easing his plan.

If not diverted, they'd surely be caught by Jiepeng soldiers.

Ye Hao must reach the shrine before Emperor Miyazaki and Prime Minister Abe leave.

"Move quickly; our only chance is to leverage the Tokyo Building collapse to reach Jingguo Shrine. The most dangerous place is the safest. We'll bomb the shrine from afar, drawing forces to intervene, and we'll use that chance to return to the collapse site, heading to Yokohama to escape via sea." Ye Hao instructed while running.

"The plan is feasible, but we lack assistance and vehicles, making a fast journey to Yokohama difficult," Xue Zhaolong said, enduring pain.

"Boss! Should we ask that woman for help?" Zhuorong Town pondered with a frown.

Ye Hao waved his hand, saying, "No need to mention her anymore. What we do, we solve ourselves, without seeking external help."

"Alright then," Lu Yunsong and the other three replied helplessly.

They all knew Ye Hao refused to implicate the woman, determined to solve matters himself, earning their admiration and respect for his resolve.

Ye Hao is decisive in action; once he decides, he acts, and even if mistaken, he persists.

"Speed up," Ye Hao checked the electronic map; they're three kilometers from Jingguo Shrine.

"Boss! Old Dragon's condition might..." Zhuorong Town noticed the blood from Xue Zhaolong's wounds seemed on the verge of pouring out again, crying out in worry.

Ye Hao frowned; Xue Zhaolong was seriously injured. Now, apart from using the secret space to store Xue Zhaolong, there's no other option.

Yet, Ye Hao harbored a knot, reluctant to disclose his secret space to too many.

Eventually, Ye Hao hesitated slightly before waving to store Xue Zhaolong in the ring.

Zhuorong Town and Lu Yunsong watched as Xue Zhaolong vanished in a blink while running, stunned on the spot...(To be continued. If you like this work, please vote for it on Qidian (qidian.com). Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
