Tokyo Detective

Chapter 542 A warship picked up something in the sea
Attracted by the sounds of artillery fire and the lights, 8% of the fungal corpses in Houston had long since flocked to the army, becoming part of the pile of corpses on the ground.

Without Arandi's command, the fungal corpses, lacking the ability to defend urban areas, were utterly vulnerable against modern armies.

The only thing that made the army cautious was the presence of a large number of stage three and four fungal corpses, totaling more than five hundred, which initially put pressure on the army's defenses.

Naoki Hanyu also took the opportunity to track down the fungal corpse of the captive and found the Houston Grand Theatre. Unexpectedly, just as he had arranged everything to launch the attack, he witnessed Sala Morgans being stabbed through the chest.

"Arandy, you deserve to die."

Anger surged within him, and he wanted to kill Arandy.

Thor Mode. Activate.
Colorless static electricity activates nitrogen and oxygen in the air, and the electric sparks that release photons turn into a brilliant blue. At this moment, Naoki Hanyu is like a god entangled by thunder, inspiring fear in all living beings.

Even fungi instinctively retreat in the face of thunder.

Overclocking internal organs.
Martial Arts Master.
Full muscle control: Open
In an instant, a giant over three meters tall stood in the theater, his physique becoming extremely exaggerated due to Thor mode.

[Strength: 712] +360
[Endurance: 836] +410
[Agility: 642] +320
[Spirit: 748] +370
The increase of half in his already formidable physical abilities made Naoki Hanyu feel like he had omnipotent power, but it wasn't without its side effects.

Maintaining the electrostatic activation mode of cells can lead to gradual cell death, and may even cause a decline in overall health, ultimately resulting in cell depletion and death.

Leibu
A thunderous roar erupted, shattering many wooden seats, and at that moment, Naoki Hanyu reached an astonishing speed of 560 kilometers per hour, faster than the fastest high-speed train.

In the blink of an eye, it appeared in front of Arandi. The source of the man-eating fungus showed a look of terror, and several tentacles tried to attack the enemy. Unfortunately, when they touched Naoki Hanyu's body, they were shocked and lost control, and Arandi also screamed.

Have you ever been struck by lightning?

Dragon Fist 200%
Just as Naoki Hanyu's voice arrived, a thunderous punch was delivered with a stunning effect, crackling with electricity. Arandy was sent flying hundreds of meters like a missile, crashing into the theater wall.

Just as Naoki Hanyu was about to press his advantage, the surrounding fungal corpses and even jellyfish corpses pounced on him.

"Don't get in the way."

Jellyfish corpses are inherently weaker than those of the same stage on land. Naoki Hanyu could easily kill third and fourth stage jellyfish corpses, and even fifth-stage jellyfish corpses became vulnerable.

Several highly venomous tentacles, enduring the high-voltage electricity, wrapped around Naoki Hanyu's body. Unfortunately, the jellyfish corpse's prized trump card was useless against him.

The man and the corpse stared at each other blankly, and the next second, Naoki Hanyu tore the jellyfish corpse apart with his bare hands.

The two halves of the corpse were thrown on the ground. Naoki Hanyu felt that this thing's physical strength was not even as good as the Spore Leap Corpse. Perhaps it would be stronger in the water. Only the fifth-tier giant corpse made Naoki Hanyu take it seriously.

The giant corpse kept swinging its heavy fists but couldn't hit the enemy until Naoki Hanyu found an opportunity to trip it. The ground cracked when its more than 6-meter-tall body fell to the ground.

"it's over"

"Dragon Fist 400%"

The punch was like a meteorite falling, not only smashing the giant corpse's head to pieces, but also creating a two-meter-wide crater in the ground, from which cracks spread.

Before Naoki Hanyu could press his advantage, the jellyfish corpses present broke through the window and jumped into the water, and a fifth-stage jellyfish corpse even picked up Arandi and jumped into the river.

The Grand Theatre is built on the banks of the Ice Bull River, with Galveston Bay just two kilometers away, and the sea just beyond the harbor.

The remaining terrestrial fungal corpses all rushed towards Naoki Hanyu and his clone, and gunfire erupted continuously.

The situation became complicated. Naoki Hanyu glanced at Sarah, who was still struggling, and could only stop and help the wealthy woman up. He couldn't abandon Sarah in order to hunt down Arandi.

Moreover, after maintaining the Thor mode for more than 10 seconds, he felt his heart couldn't take it anymore, and his body went from being full of power at the beginning to feeling uncomfortable as if a heavy burden was pressing down on him.

"You've done a good job protecting them."

"President, don't worry."

"Mission accomplished."

Several heavy machine guns and sniper rifles fired continuously, and grenades and rocket launchers also caused the grand theater to shake, as if it were in danger of collapsing.

However, these weapons were still a bit too weak against third and fourth-tier giant corpses.

The dozens of clones had anticipated this, and they fought off the horde of zombies in groups of three.

Each clone possesses strength approaching that of a fourth-stage fungal corpse; the three combined can defeat a fourth-stage being, while the avatar is slightly stronger than a fourth-stage being.

Hanyu Naoki, who was standing to the side, was also expending his energy. He pressed down on Salad with one hand and first released the Source of Life to heal the wound in her chest. Then, he used static electricity to make Salad's body twitch.

Without giving the woman a chance to scream, Naoki Hanyu stuffed his cut hand into her mouth.

"Drink quickly."

Salad felt a rush of blood to her mouth and instinctively wanted to vomit, but she couldn't. She could only endure the discomfort and drink it down.

But after swallowing it, he found the blood to be sweet and fresh, so he drank it in large gulps.

Naoki Hanyu's first aid principle is simple: electric shock can effectively inhibit fungal growth, although it can also electroporate cell membranes.

However, drinking Naoki Hanyu's blood can cause cells with similar properties to grow in the body, which is how Natsumi Senbon's radiation sickness was cured.

Soon Naoki Hanyu's face turned a little pale, and Salamogens stopped struggling, as if he had fallen asleep.

"As long as you don't turn into a fungal corpse immediately, what happens after that is up to you."

Naoki Hanyu stood up again, feeling slightly weak and uncomfortable. The next second, a bloody battle broke out inside the theater, and the fungal corpses were all killed in less than a minute.

Of course, Naoki Hanyu didn't give up the pursuit of Arandi; the bald eagles in the sky were tracking the jellyfish corpse.

Jellyfish corpses can indeed survive in the sea, but Arandi cannot stay in the sea for long periods of time, so he can only keep the jellyfish corpses on his back above the water.

Seawater lapped against Arandi's body as he and dozens of jellyfish carcasses crossed the harbor and entered the sea. The sea breeze grew stronger, and a storm was brewing in the Texas waters during the summer.

Arandy soon spotted his target: the fleet at Mayport Naval Base.

This is one of the bases of America's Second Fleet, which is responsible for several military bases on the east coast.

The most powerful is undoubtedly the Norfolk Naval Base, which houses more than three aircraft carriers, 12 guided-missile destroyers, 2 amphibious assault ships, and 3 dock landing ships, guarding the capital's location.

However, it's a 4 to 7-day flight from Texas, so they're still en route and haven't arrived yet.

The remaining bases consisted of submarines and frigates, with only the Mayport Naval Base in neighboring Florida able to arrive and blockade the shipping lanes within a day.

This fleet, consisting of 3 destroyers and 3 littoral combat ships, already represents 8% of the base's combat strength.

The littoral combat ship is more like a frigate than a corvette; it's already obsolete.

Only three destroyers are presentable, one of which is the latest Arleigh Burke-class Flight III, unlike the old Type II that Naoki Hanyu possesses.

It took 24 years for the first ship to officially enter service. Currently, there are only two ships in service across America, six under construction, and five more awaiting commencement of construction.

Logically speaking, it should be one of the strongest destroyers, but of course, the 5+5 of the mysterious superpower is too overpowered.

Arandi watched the fleet, which was 5 kilometers from the coast, getting closer and closer, and muttered to himself.

"Human fleet, heh."
.
DDG-104, Captain Ethan Rogers, an Arleigh Burke-class Type II destroyer.

Provisional fleet commander, with the rank of colonel.

As Ethan Rogers observed the burning city, he couldn't help but ask his assistant a question.

"Elsa, do you think we can take back Houston today?"

The 42-year-old first officer, Aisha, holds the rank of lieutenant colonel.

Time has left many wrinkles on her delicate face, and her once bright and beautiful blonde hair has turned a bit yellow, but her temperament, like that of a tough soldier, has not diminished her charm much.

Ethan Rogers still remembers the stunning beauty he felt when he first met Elsa at the Naval Academy. After all, in the year 2000, female cadets made up only 14 percent of the Navy, and a great beauty like her would definitely stand out from the crowd.

The female naval officer said calmly.

"The situation has stabilized, and the army is expected to proceed cautiously and steadily, and it will not be able to fully recapture the area within a day."

"That's true, it seems we'll have to stay at sea for a few more days."

Elsa gazed at the dark sea, a faint sense of crisis washing over her.

"Colonel, please don't let your guard down. The closer we get to the end, the more serious we need to be."

"Yes, yes, I understand, old classmate. Fortunately, fungal corpses cannot be taken to the sea."

The two were classmates in the same year at the naval academy, with Linsa being the one with the best grades. However, twenty years later, Ethan is now a colonel, while Linsa, who has always performed better, can only be a lieutenant colonel and his subordinate.

As a woman, it is already quite remarkable to become a ship captain at the age of 45. As for the reason why she, who is mediocre, was promoted faster, it is because she has a retired lieutenant general father.

Destroyer captains are typically between 42 and 48 years old, with less than 3% being over 48. It's an unspoken rule that declining energy and focus should give way to more energetic younger men.

Just then, the sonar department reported something.

"Many small objects have been detected approaching at high speed." "Small objects...could they be a pod of dolphins, a school of sharks, or bluefin tuna?"

Ethan's heart burned with excitement at the thought of a school of bluefin tuna worth a fortune passing by his fleet. Should he try to poach them?
Aisha reminded.

"Colonel, it could be a fungal corpse."

"Impossible. The researchers have already studied fungal carcasses; they absolutely cannot adapt to seawater."

Elsa didn't argue, but simply offered a reminder.

"Fungal corpses are beyond our human understanding, so it's better to be cautious."

"Yes, I understand."

Ethan was also exasperated with his old classmate; it was just too boring.

The sonar department reported it again shortly afterward.

"The target is accelerating toward the fleet, very fast, at least 100 kilometers per hour."

"100 kilometers per hour?"

Ethan was now forced to take this seriously and signaled for the fleet to enter combat readiness.

"bang bang bang"

Dozens of machine guns on the entire fleet opened fire on the sea, and mines were also dropped into the sea, but it was not yet possible to confirm whether any had been hit in the dark sea.

Suddenly, an unexpected event occurred, and three types of destroyers in the fleet sent a communication.

"It's bad! Fungal corpses have climbed onto the deck. We are fighting back with difficulty and requesting backup."

Ethan was greatly surprised to hear this.

"What? It's a fungal corpse? How's the situation on your side?"

"This is terrible. These are all elite-level fungal corpses. Ordinary weapons can't break through their defenses."

"They've broken in."

"what"

Finally, a scream was heard, and the only sound from the communication was eating; it was obvious what they were eating without needing an explanation.

More than one warship was attacked; the rest of the warships were also attacked, leaving behind screams of agony.

Even a littoral combat ship with a speed of 40 knots cannot escape the clutches of the fungal zombies. One by one, the fungal zombies climbed up the hull and onto the deck. Even if the crew hid in the cabin, they were forced open by the fungal zombies.
.
As the flagship and as the commander, Ethan felt a chill run down his spine, a wave of fear washing over him.

The situation is worse than being targeted by enemy missiles. He doesn't want to die; he's still young and wants to at least reach the rank of major general before retiring.

"What should we do, Elsa? What should we do now?"

Elsa rebuked her sharply.

"Colonel, please calm down. Panic won't solve anything. The fungal corpse has already boarded the ship."

"What? They've already boarded the ship?"

Ethan saw through the surveillance that the fungal zombie had unknowingly boarded the ship and was fighting the navy on the deck and in the cabin. No soldier was a match for the fifth-level jellyfish zombie; it was a brutal massacre.

Elsa drew her pistol and said in a deep voice.

"Please take command of the overall situation, Colonel. I'll take my men there now."

“No, don’t.”

Before Ethan could finish speaking, the female navy officer led her men out, followed by a burst of gunfire that then ceased.

At this moment, Ethan felt as if he had fallen into an abyss, unable to even issue basic commands.

When the bridge command room door opened again and a familiar figure appeared, Ethan was first surprised, then filled with fear.

"Elsa, are you alright? No, no, no, don't come any closer."

Ethan retreated repeatedly, because the person who came was not Elsa, but just a head.

Ethan's panic was interrupted by a hoarse voice.

"Don't be afraid. As long as you behave, I won't hurt you."

Arandy bent down and walked in, his voice like a seductive melody, prompting Ethan to ask.

"really?"

"Of course, you can persuade your subordinates to serve me."

Arandi's eyes flickered. It wasn't easy to devour the entire fleet this time. More than half of its jellyfish corpses were lost, and the rest needed time to evolve after consuming a large amount of flesh and blood. Therefore, it was best to use warships for transportation during this period.

The flagship of the temporary fleet started moving towards the Mexican watermelon, and it was clear that the navy on the warships obeyed.

Shortly after, Naoki Hanyu landed his Seahawk helicopter on an Arleigh Burke-class destroyer, and the horrific scene inside the ship made him frown.

"They've all been eaten. It seems Arandy's plan is not simple."

The clone beside him echoed.

"Yes, countries around the world will also equip their warships with powerful individual weapons in the future."

Just as Naoki Hanyu was about to leave, a clone of him ran out in surprise.

"President, President, we've struck it rich! We've struck it rich!"

"What do you mean by getting rich?"

"All of the destroyer's systems are on."

Naoki Hanyu was taken aback. Everything had been explained so clearly; how could he not understand the meaning of a clone?

"We can drive this thing away."

"I estimate there's more than one; the surrounding warships are all capable of operating them."

"."

Two ideas flashed through Naoki Hanyu's mind. The first was to continue the pursuit in the helicopter, which would be fast, but there was a possibility of being shot down, requiring him to jump into the sea and climb onto a boat.

The second option is to package up warships to catch up. He happens to have one more 1000 billion conversion quota, and the three types of destroyers are the perfect target.

Without hesitation, Naoki Hanyu chose the second option, immediately sending out hundreds of clones to occupy two destroyers, one Type III and one Type II, while discarding the attack ship dogs.

Soon, Naoki Hanyu used the Miss System to physically connect to the warship and successively broke through the warship's various systems.

Originally from the same America, the Miss System, being a futuristic technology, progressed very smoothly with the cooperation of the Tianmen Satellite.

The power system has been cracked.

The power system has been hacked

The Aegis Baseline 10 system has been hacked.

Vertical launch system has been cracked

The sonar array has been cracked.

Soon, the two destroyers slowly started up. With the blessing of the title of "Sea Overlord", the performance of each warship increased by 20%, and the speed reached 42 knots.

Naoki Hanyu sat on the blood-stained captain's chair with a smile.

"These two destroyers are mine now. Hey, you there, fire a few missiles at the target as a greeting gift."

Even the vice-captain's alter ego was speechless.

"President, you're getting too cocky."

"roll."

Just then, the person in charge of communications reported the incident.

"President, someone has contacted us."

"I know who it is without even guessing. Take it."
