Impatiently, he kicked the square gasoline barrel placed next to it, and the gasoline barrel flew out of the roof of the building with a metallic sound, and after a short delay, it exploded, and the flames were blown away by the strong wind in an instant, and disappeared from view. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Rintaro rubbed his hair vigorously and looked very irritable, hitting the exterior wall of the building's water supply facility with his fists several times.

"Damn! What the hell is going on! Why hasn't the battery been delivered yet?"

“...... Rentaro. Calm down. ”

Yeonjoo screamed in fear.

Holding his hands on the wall, the rapid breathing stabilized, and the sound of the wind like a flute sounded in his ears, and Rentaro and Yanzhu's clothes swayed violently in the wind.

Rentaro reconfirmed the time, gritting his teeth in desperation.

It was already 10:50 p.m., less than 10 minutes before Aldebaran arrived, but the task of transporting the condensed batteries, which had been entrusted to the Self-Defense Forces, had not been moved.

Reaching the edge of the building's roof, Rentaro stares at the dark border in the distance.

Originally, there was no street light in the outer periphery due to the lack of electricity, and although it was the base camp of the Returning Flame and the hunting festival, it was barely supplied with electricity, but it also lost energy shortly after the collapse of the megalith.

At the same time, the heavy clouds formed by the dust of the megalithic monument still blocked the moon, so it was impossible to expect moonlight.

The vision was surprisingly dim.

Although the eyes have adapted to the darkness, so they do not lose sight of their fingers, but the fact that the vision is extremely bad is unchanged.

Among them, only a few beginners with night vision and farsightedness like Tina are able to move freely, and most of them are greatly restricted, while the protogastral side is almost undisturbed.

On the other side of the darkness, the sounds of countless archaviruses that smash rocks and rush towards the place with the momentum of the stormy waves can be heard.

I can't see it, but it's still there.

Don't doubt it, they're coming!

Rentaro clenched his fists, his nails sinking into his flesh.

The original plan made by everyone yesterday was to set up high-intensity searchlights on the roofs of the seven buildings around the return of Yanyan, and use the strong light to create a favorable factor for the police, of course, the most important thing is that they can quickly find out the location of Aldebaran, and then everyone can launch a surprise attack together.

There is only one target, just like Aldebaran took the lead in attacking my head as the regiment commander in the previous battle, and this time it was the turn of the police to adopt the decapitation strategy.

As long as Aldebaran can be killed as planned, then as expected, the army of protozoans will collapse.

However, now that the battery has not arrived, the searchlight is like a huge waste, and the tactics to determine the location of Aldebaran have fallen apart from the very beginning.

With Aldebaran's cunning, he specially chose to attack at night, and it is conceivable that it will be extremely well hidden.

Rentaro had a headache.

The rest of the civilian police units were already hiding under the building, and it was too late to give the order to retreat.

Or just go out and make a direct assault and try to reduce the number of enemies?

No, it's useless, that kind of tactics has no chance of winning. Once the protozoa are allowed to enter the mainland, it will not be possible to eliminate the virus that has spread in the Tokyo area in any case, and it will only add to the casualties.

Rentaro closed his eyes tightly.

However, even if he knew that he would lose, he had to take on the responsibility of being the leader of the civilian police corps.

There is no other way.

Rentaro picked up the radio and took a deep breath.

"All personnel, prepare for ...... surprise"

Before the word 'hit' could be finished, Yanzhu suddenly pulled his sleeve.

"Rentaro, look at that ......"

"What's going on at this time?"

Rentaro endured the irritability in his heart and tried to make his tone softer, but Yeonjoo didn't answer.

She just stupidly pointed to a spot in the night sky.

Rentaro froze, having a strange feeling that his back was illuminated by a gentle light, and turned to look at Yeonzhu's line of sight.

The bright light shone into his eyes that were used to the darkness, and Rentaro had to cover them with his hands and squint.

When everything came into view, he was speechless.

The sky over the entire Tokyo area, from the first to the 43rd ward, is dazzlingly shining.

He soon discovered that the light sources were coming from an astonishing number of hot air balloons, about the size of a football balloon. Under the spherical bag, the burning material with oiled paper is burning, and the hot air causes the bag to sway gently from side to side, gradually rising.

It looks like the Kong Ming lantern of China.

Surprisingly, there are a number of balloons.

Tens of thousands of balloons that fill the sky are flying, colliding, and rising in the air like wool.

And the number is still increasing, and the luminosity has become double or triple the original.

The quantitative change finally took place, and a single extremely weak 'Kong Ming Lantern', after gathering enough quantities, seemed to be born on top to create a bright moon.

It was as if the situation of another world completely captured Rentaro's heart, and he spoke:

"Phantom Ann Festival - It's ...... Today"

Inadvertently, Rentaro recalls a conversation he had with the students in the past.

"In order to thank the spirits who died in the Ancestral Animals War, a festival has been held since the Second Battle of Kanto, where people release miniature hot air balloons with words of praise for the spirits to pay tribute to their ancestors.

The difference is that every year, the festival is held on a small scale around the Flame of Return Monument, and since the festival opened, there has never been such a big fanfare in the past ten years.

Moreover, to make the sky so bright, it is necessary to mobilize huge manpower and material resources...... Who is so generous.

At this moment, Rentaro's mobile phone vibrates.

"Mr. Satomi, it's me. ”

The crisp and cold voice of a woman like a yellow warbler out of the valley sounded, and Rentaro suddenly clenched his phone hard.

"Lord Son of Heaven...... Sure enough, it's you............"

In the Tokyo district, which is about to face the end of the world, it is still possible to mobilize so many people, except for the Holy Son of Heaven, who is the head of state, there is absolutely no second choice.

The Son of Heaven told Rentaro in a stern and cautious tone.

"Mr. Satomi, those balloons are the hopes, prayers, and will of the people of Tokyo to live. You should have seen it, right? Winning this battle is the destruction of the intestines, and defeating us is our destruction. The future of the Tokyo area is up to you. Please move forward bravely, and have the courage not to give up no matter what kind of battle you face!"

Rentaro closed his eyes, and then slowly opened them:

"Don't worry, Lord Son of Heaven. I'm going to show you the victory. ”

"Okay, then please help me pass on a message to Nagato-kun. ”

Rentaro's face suddenly became strange, he looked around, found the location of Yu Feibai, and hurried over.

At this moment, Yu Feibai was wearing a white robe dancing wildly in the wind, looking out of the dust, looking up at the countless lanterns in the sky in a daze, and beside him were Mikasa and Bu Shicui stretched out their hands to count the number of lanterns one by one, and they were arguing about it.

"Brother Nagato, the Son of Heaven has something to say to you. Rentaro called out and handed over the phone.

Yu Feibai glanced at Sumire Muroto, who was busy with the only remaining satellite map behind him, and picked up the phone with a weak heart, and exhaled like an orchid on the other end of the phone:

"I said I would be a woman you would never be able to refuse, and now I have done it. What about you?"

“......”

Yu Feibai's lips opened slightly, he knew why the Son of Heaven said this,

The policemen couldn't see it because they didn't have enough eyesight, but Yu Feibai could see it clearly, and the blessings carried in each lantern were the same sentence from different people's immature or scribbled handwriting, and the enthusiasm was extremely wild:

- "Nagato-kun, marry me!"

So that's what you said you can't refuse??

Yu Feibai suddenly covered his head in shame.

What, now everyone in Tokyo must know, what are you kidding!
