Crossover anime/manga, can you be my immortal companion for life?

Thinking of that person who, like the Magpie Bridge Fairy, only meets with me every summer, and feeling the pre-summer temperature, I can no longer feel the excitement of the past.

And at this moment, she was thinking of the fairy...

"Ahahahaha!"

Xiangzi, who was engaged in direct combat with the enemy troops in front of the bridge, rolled behind cover and raised his rifle, firing continuously.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Several soldiers were shot and fell to the ground.

Shot in the shoulder, snowflakes exploded, and Xiangzi fired a shot into his own head, igniting a cherry blossom flame.

With his arm usable again, he slid forward and slashed open the stomach of a soldier who came forward to examine the corpse with a sickle, then continued to fire his gun at the outside, back to back with Kerry, facing enemies in two directions.

……

On the other side, on the 42nd floor of Block B of the Roppongi Hills Residence in Tokyo.

Nagasaki Motoyo looked at the photos on her phone that she had scrolled through more than ten times a day, her eyes filled with tears as she looked at the romantic girl.

Xiao Xiang... why did Xiao Xiang say those things?

Did she encounter any difficulties? She's the kind of girl who can turn her diary into lyrics, who reaches out to lonely girls in the bright sunshine, and who takes everyone to karaoke after school.

She could never say such heartless things; she must have something to hide.

But... can I help her?

No, I must find her and help her.

Xiangzi must feel very helpless right now, I must help her.

It's all Xiaomu's fault for not telling me what happened to Xiaoxiang!

……

On the other side, the squad suffered heavy losses after a round of firefight.

Faced with Toyokawa Shoko, the helpless Japanese Self-Defense Force squad leader raised his gun at the villagers, threatening them with hostages.

As a result of the immense psychological pressure, the villager Hinamizawa, whom he had forcibly taken into his arms, suddenly suffered a bout of Hinamizawa syndrome. Without regard for anything else, he elbowed Hinamizawa in the waist. As soon as Hinamizawa fell to the ground, Xiangzi immediately stepped forward and killed him with a single blow.

"Hoo! Hoo!"

Fortunately, only Kirito, who jumped down at the beginning, died, but he has now gotten back up.

Kazuma was sitting in the car and firing a gun, yet he was unharmed.

"Die! Die! Die! Hahahaha!"

He slid aside, the scythe hooked out, and the last teammate next to him fell to the ground.

Then he began to swing his weapon repeatedly to ensure that all of them were completely finished off.

The villagers stared in disbelief at the corpses scattered on the ground, which they had completely cleaned up.

A few minutes ago, they thought it was absurd. Aren't these young men and women here to deliver vegetables, given that there are so many soldiers around?

As a result, a few minutes later, a performance of tearing apart Japanese soldiers with bare hands began right before their eyes.

The village chief and the old woman who had retreated here together dared not utter a word, only wiping the cold sweat from their brows.

It's fortunate that they resisted and weren't tortured by the Sonozaki family.

If they really torture them, there's no need for the Self-Defense Forces anymore. If these few come, Hinamizawa will never see the light of day again.

Several villagers were accidentally wounded by stray bullets during the battle, and another villager who was with Kerry and the others and was carrying a gun had his thigh bone shattered by a bullet. However, there was nothing that could be done. If the Self-Defense Forces were to take the villagers hostage, more villagers would die. The only option was to engage in close-range firefights here.

However, now was not the time to worry about the villagers. Having solved the immediate problem here, the group searched around to see if they could find the keys to the other car. Due to the previous collision and the fact that it had been used as a shield during the gunfight, the car they had driven up was in bad shape; one of the doors couldn't be closed.

But just then, after confirming that there were no friendly units left on the ground, the air strikes began.

The drone, having returned and reloaded its ammunition, began dropping the missiles from above, directly above the group. In the darkness, even with the enemy's night vision equipment, Kerry and his companions weren't quite used to that kind of visibility, let alone using rifles for nighttime air defense.

Although the dense forest prevented the drones from hitting the target accurately, the enemy only threw incendiary bombs at the location of the armored vehicles.

"boom!"

With a sound like something shattering, fire instantly engulfed the two vehicles that the group had intended to drive.

Amidst the crackling and popping sounds, anyone with a modicum of common sense scattered and fled, fearing a second explosion of the car.

"Let's go! Let's head straight down the mountain!"

Considering that the enemy might request reinforcements if they realized they couldn't win, and that Kerry and his group didn't know exactly how many people the enemy could call in, their initial plan was to thwart the enemy's vanguard once, then fight their way down the mountain. Their decision to return to defend was solely because they were afraid that if they led a few men out to fight their way back, they would find that 95% of the villagers had been poisoned and turned into soap by these newborns.

"coming!"

The other three responded and immediately followed.

The villagers were somewhat bewildered as the four men who rushed to their rescue didn't say a word and then ran away in a flurry.

Are they... some kind of period drama heroes from somewhere?

"Let's go! Follow them!"

As Sonozaki Mion, who had come up the mountain, waved her hand, the able-bodied men of the village followed her down the mountain.

Meanwhile, the small village of Hinamizawa at the foot of the mountain had already completed its second deployment.

Of the original 300 troops, approximately 70 were lost.

In a real battlefield, this would be enough to cause a rout.

Fortunately, the battlefields were not connected, and only the vanguard was attacked, while the rear remained unharmed.

However, the commander's expression was already rather grim.

After submitting the application, he suddenly realized that with such a high casualty ratio, someone would definitely have to take the blame, and he would likely be that person.

However, since things have come to this point, we can only try our best to intercept them.

Of course, he also had a crazy idea in his heart: if he could perfectly complete the task of capturing those undead monsters, he might not only be innocent but also meritorious.

The only information we have so far is that there are several unkillable monsters. He has come up with a new plan for this. Since they can't be killed, the main task is to capture them. Of course, we have to wait for reinforcements to arrive.

They came here to carry out gas chamber executions, not to deal with a bunch of civilians with that kind of special equipment. They even brought the drones only to check for any survivors the next morning.

Therefore, he changed the formation, mainly to stall for time.

As Kerry rushed down into the dense forest, he looked up at the sky. Based on the stars and the phases of the moon, he estimated that it had taken him and his companions a total of 20 minutes to go up the mountain to finish the battle and come down.

If they are in Okimiya City, it will take 30 minutes to drive up the mountain road to Hinamizawa. If it is a convoy, it may be even slower. If the other side requested support while they were at the Sonozaki family's house, including the time for troop mobilization, we will have about 30 minutes to break through the central defense line of the village.

Chapter 155 The Smell of Blood is So Good!

The wildfires on the mountain have already spread.

The raging fire at Hinamizawa resembled a giant, burning Christmas tree.

Outside, some late-night news outlets are responding to online videos that captured this phenomenon, indicating a gas leak from the Hinamizawa volcano.

The government is urgently mobilizing the Self-Defense Forces to provide disaster relief.

Japan's Self-Defense Forces routinely participate in disaster relief. They can then attribute all the deaths and injuries to the harsh conditions during the disaster relief efforts, thus providing an explanation to the families, securing funding from higher authorities, and gaining exposure on the news to show they were on the front lines, thereby boosting their reputation.

Meanwhile, in the mountain village, the only two main roads were blocked by trucks, and more than 200 fully armed soldiers were on standby for orders.

The drones are constantly monitoring the enemy's position.

"The enemy will arrive in approximately thirty seconds! It is anticipated that after discovering the road defenses, the enemy will advance from the paddy field position. Take aim immediately!"

Naturally, since the road was blocked, the other side should have to go through the paddy field next to the house, where they would be attacked by the firepower deployed in both the front and back alleys at the same time.

Furthermore, some of the field ridges there were also equipped with pull-wire detonators.

These people will definitely receive a pleasant surprise.

but……

"Manor 32 defense line! Warning! Enemy is approaching the vehicle directly!"

The unexpected sound completely stunned the on-site commander.

Before the order could be given, a loud bang was heard from the car next to us.

The more the enemy wants you to take a certain path, the less likely you are to take it.

Upon reaching the foot of the mountain, Kazuma immediately realized that if they were to take the paddy field route, they would be receiving a welcoming reception comparable to that of the ancient city of Sein, akin to a cesspool filled with archers. This was not a place they could go.

Moreover, overly open terrain is not convenient for large-scale combat.

A truck blocking the road might have been somewhat effective against the first few people.

But now, even the weakest Xiangzi can step on the tires and use the momentum to get onto the roof of the car. The other men are already as physically capable as the werewolves, and they can easily jump up to this height.

As the four people jumped onto the roof of the carriage in the moonlight, a flurry of footsteps erupted below.

"Support! Requesting support...quack!"

Using high ground to attack low ground, and launching a surprise attack, Kerry and his men opened fire directly downwards.

Blood blossoms bloomed in the cramped space, and the soldiers in the second rank behind them discovered the situation but dared not go around the paddy field to provide support. They could only hide under the second armored vehicle.

The group jumped down, and Kazuma and Kirito immediately crouched down to search the corpses and find any surviving guns to reload. Meanwhile, Kerry and Shoko peered out and rushed toward the other soldiers in the narrow alleyway that was blocked by cars and houses.

Kerry and his men then realized that not only their front and back, but also their left and right sides were blocked off with items they had brought from the villagers' homes, which could be used as makeshift cover for firing from both sides.

Unfortunately, the Kree and his companions don't have the same bad habit as the Undead—they don't have knees, and while they can kill the Sun King's eldest son, they can't jump more than 40cm. Nor will they fall off a house and become paralyzed like the Witcher.

Although everyone is an undead unit, their mobility is comparable to that of Sekiro.

The cramped space, originally intended for defense, became a deadly obstacle. The soldiers had nowhere to run, like mice hiding in a jar suddenly finding a cat squeezed in. They could do nothing but frantically run around in all directions.

"All right!"

However, Kerry and his men did not kill them all at once. After Kazuma signaled that the reloading was complete, Kerry threw down his gun, took the gun that Kazuma and the other man had prepared, and grabbed a soldier whose wrist he had cut off, throwing him onto the roof of the second row of vehicles.

Sure enough, a series of shots rang out from below, and the half-dead soldier fell to his comrades' guns.

Then Kerry put down his weapon and beckoned to Xiangzi, "Come here!"

Xiangzi understood and together they put down their weapons and threw several corpses over the roof of the car. Immediately, they heard panicked sounds of things being hit.
