Chapter 709 - Tokyo Ghoul
In the bustling streets of Yoto, a black van departed from an underground garage two blocks away from the Takeda Pharmaceutical Building.
According to intelligence collected by Ghost Agents, the Ministry of Defense had taken the lead in transferring T virus data from Takeda Pharmaceutical today. In order to ensure complete security, not only the Ministry of Defense Intelligence Department, but also the Cabinet Intelligence Research Office, which directly obeyed the Prime Minister’s orders, and the Second Division of the Ground Self-Defense Force, participated in the transfer.
But on the day of the transfer, their actions were surprisingly low-key.
In addition to the black van, all the Napon intelligence agency’s energy was used to shift the attention of the CIB.
Takeda Pharmaceutical’s chairman, Tanimura, went missing. The Minister of Defense blamed this on the UA. In his opinion, no one else had the strength to be able to take Tanimura out of the country without anyone knowing.
News about Tanimura’s disappearance that they desperately tried to cover up was also first leaked from newspapers in State C, thousands of kilometers away. This was also evidence that supported Nakaya’s speculations.
However, the Nippon government didn’t realize there were other people eyeing them.
Just as the black van left the garage, a white car parked at the door of the clothing store about 200 meters away began to move too.
“The target has left the garage.”
“Roger that.”
After closing the communication line, Shinanoha glanced at the screen on her right arm. Through the image from the drone, the position of the black van was confirmed and she kept a distance of 300 meters. It was located in the center of the city and it was inconvenient to execute the mission. As long as the target arrived at the destination street…
Shinanoha’s lips formed a smile.
By the way, Shinanoha was just the name on her passport – her real name was Zhu Yu from Michigan.
She had helped Jiang Chen many times and was one of the older agents. In order to ensure everything went smoothly, Jiang Chen sent her to Napon to plan the mission against Takeda Pharmaceutical after the cruise ship tragedy.
Zhu Yu approached a red light so she stopped the car.
The black van continued to drive to the targeted location, but she wasn’t worried at all. From beginning to end, the van hadn’t disappeared from the drone’s monitor.
At this moment, an unexpected event occurred!
A Mercedes on the other side of the road suddenly turned its steering wheel, veered onto the opposite lane, and rammed into the black van without any warning.
No one could react in time.
The Mercedes was obviously modified, and it flipped the black van over.
The crowd screamed and fled, but Hell had only just begun.
Boom!
Fire erupted from the Mercedes, immediately swallowing the black van and the nearby crowd. The flying debris blew away the escaping passers-by, spilling blood and broken limbs on the street. The braking vehicles collided and rammed into the shops along the street. The sudden explosion completely paralyzed the traffic on this road.
Zhu Yu, who was waiting at the traffic light, stared at the fire blankly.
Immediately, she reacted, entered the return command for the drone, and updated her partner at the ambush location.
“The target has been destroyed, the mission is canceled…”
Someone exploded the data and samples of the virus into pieces right in front of them. Was it the CIB? No, they wouldn’t want to destroy the virus but obtain the virus! Who could it be…
Zhu Yu’s eyebrows furrowed as she was lost in thought.
Suddenly, a shrill scream outside the window shook her.
“It’s… it’s a zombie!”
“That’s a lie! How could that be! How could this appear in Yoto!”
“Run!”
“Drive! Drive! Drive!”
Noisy shouting and car whistles could be heard; traffic accidents near the intersection completely ravaged the entire neighborhood. The sudden outbreak of the T virus turned everything into horrific mayhem.
It wasn’t an anime, and it wasn’t a movie.
The bloody living-dead walked through the stagnant traffic and used their hands, that couldn’t feel pain, to open windows. They pounced at the fleeing people, bit all the flesh and blood they could see and expanded the numbers of living-dead.
Seeing the blood in front of her, Zhu Yu suddenly recalled something.
The vehicle not only contained the virus data, but also Tanaka’s newly developed improved virus samples…
There was no time to delay; she awaiting death by staying in that car!
Zhu Yu immediately opened the car door and followed the direction of the crowd, heading away from the source of infection.
At that very moment, a familiar face suddenly appeared on the big screen next to the street.
A pleasant face appeared with an iconic flat cap.
“Good afternoon, everyone. My name is Tanaka…”
…
In Somalia, thousands of kilometers away.
In the salt factory, Garrett confronted Sakda.
Watching the gestures of the man in front of him, Garrett’s eyes narrowed slightly.
“Muay Thai?”
Sakda didn’t speak and responded with his fists.
Woosh.
The sound of wind breaking rang in his ear. His opponent’s iron fist that seemed capable of breaking through his steel plate made Garrett suddenly turn serious and disregard all his contempt.
There was another sound of a fist breaking the air. Sakda skillfully took a jab before he followed with a powerful elbow strike directly onto Garrett’s face.
Pooch!
After a muffled sound followed by a drop of cold sweat, Sakda’s pupils gradually enlarged.
His elbow strike felt like it hit an iron plate…
No, if it was an iron plate, he had the confidence he could penetrate it with his genetic modification. At the moment, however, it was as if the man’s arm was in front of him and he easily blocked his strike. Not only that, but judging by the sharp pain from his hand, his right hand was crippled.
It seemed that the man in front of him had also experienced some degree of “mutation.”
And it was a more horrifying transformation.
“Don’t be surprised – my bones are made of titanium!”
Garrett grinned and punched his face, caving his nose right in. His entire cheekbone broke into pieces.
“Take this punch for the guy called Tanaka. After you go to hell, thank him for me.”
After lobbing Sakda to the side, who was no longer breathing, Garrett opened the hologram map and walked toward the target destination.
Pushing open the wooden door, he arrived at the basement of the salt factory. The viral density here was extremely high, but for Garrett, who was injected with a genetic vaccine, a high density the virus had no effect on him.
He nonchalantly finished the zombies that pounced at him and he headed straight for the source of the infection.
The source of infection was a petri dish, from which the virus leaked.
There were dozens of bath salt bags next to it. There were also dangerous bottles of glass on the table.
All the viruses were here.
“Only 11 kilograms…how could that be?!”
Garrett gritted his teeth and immediately released a drone. However, he searched the entire salt factory and didn’t find Tanaka or any more viruses.
There was only one possibility!
The Kurofune had already transferred all the raw materials and made new viruses!
Garrett punched the wall and made a dent in the concrete wall.
“F*ck!”
At the same time, the voice of Ghost Bird resounded in his ear.
“There are only five kilometers left before the local military force arrives. We must evacuate immediately.”
“Roger that.”
Garrett turned off his microphone and reluctantly looked back at the salt factory. He picked up his rifle broken in half from the floor and departed the salt factory.
