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

Before the old man could finish speaking, the woman started screaming hysterically again.

"Let me go! You bastards! You betrayed me! You tried to lie to me! Yamashita-kun said he loves me! He'll marry me! I can be molded into one of them! I'm not your slave! I eat pickled caviar every day in Yamashita-kun's room! Get your filthy hands off me! Otherwise, when Yamashita-kun comes back, you'll all be skinned alive! Aaaaaah! Let me go..."

Kerry punched the woman in the face, interrupting the banshee's shrieking spell, and then waved his hand.

"In this situation, just punch her and she'll behave."

If you encounter someone like that, just kill them. If you don't want to kill them, just ignore them. We still need to get out of there after we've killed all those animals!

Kerry didn't want to waste time, so he turned around and continued his pursuit to the next level.

Since entering the mountains, He Zhen has basically been running ahead, because there are always some unexpected things that happen.

After turning a corner at the bottom of the stairs, sure enough, the enemy was setting up guns at the corner. Kerry rushed out and shot down two of them with a few shots. The rest started to retreat while fighting.

Then Kazuma squeezed through Kerry's body and rushed over, but the next moment, someone with a dagger jumped down from the slightly higher ceiling and stabbed Kazuma in the forehead with a stealth attack.

"boom!"

Kerry shot the valuable man down, then rushed forward, only to be immediately followed up by others who finished him off.

"Damn it! Who taught them this? Setting up a gun around a corner! Someone falling from the sky, and suddenly there's a hole in the dark side where someone could be hiding, and then a guy with a chainsaw suddenly rushes out."

Kree was speechless. What were these ghouls doing with such vivid imaginations?

However, the resistance gradually weakened along the way.

At first, we had to engage in a round of gunfire at every corner.

But ever since they discovered that no matter how they shoot, Kerry won't die, and Kazuma will die and come back to life, their shooting is now basically just buying them time to escape.

Along the way, many white specks of light flew out. These were the specks of light that would automatically fly over after someone finished off the monster from behind. It seemed to be just like in Dark Souls, where you could absorb monsters even if you didn't kill them yourself, as long as you were standing nearby.

This time, Kazuma and Kerry were able to confirm that this thing was completely invisible to everyone else; it seemed that only they could see it.

Moreover, as they descended deeper into the tunnel, Kerry's group grew larger and larger, now numbering over 80 people, enough to fill a single tunnel. However, there were also many elderly, weak, sick, and disabled people who couldn't escape, so everyone tacitly kept them in the middle of the group to prevent any pursuers from appearing from behind.

Eventually, Kerry and Kazuma chased those guys all the way to the bottom floor of this hive structure.

Actually, there was one thing Kerry misunderstood: as more and more people joined them, it wasn't that the resistance weakened or the opponents lost their nerve; rather, those humans who were immune to the daytime debuff took the opportunity to escape through the interconnected tunnels of this underground structure and try to reach the surface.

Only those ghouls that "die in the light" can only stay in the mountains during the day and cannot go out at all. They can only be chased or hide in a corner begging not to be discovered.

However, those who hid were basically all considered by Kerry to be in an ambush, because as long as they didn't rush too fast, they only needed to feel carefully to know where they were hiding, just like having X-ray vision. Cabinets and blind spots were useless.

It's not off but it's on?

Kerry looked at the minerails in front of him, which reminded him of the Minecraft mines used for fast travel, and was speechless. It seemed that those who had arrived here first had already driven away the few minecarts that were here, leaving only the rest running wildly along the tunnel.

Fortunately, the tunnel is much wider than the nest chamber, which is only wide enough for one and a half people to pass through. It is estimated that the original design was to prevent captured food from escaping, and to make full use of the terrain and the ghouls' advantage of being bulletproof except for their hearts if someone were to invade, so that they could fight back with the enemy.

As a result, Kerry and Kazuma used this to their advantage; as long as Kerry stood in front, the people behind him would basically not get hurt.

It can only be said that the map was designed for the quick recovery mechanism, but Kree and He really didn't die at the expense of each other.

However, only they themselves know how many times they wanted to scream and writhe in agony along the way.

"Chase!" Kerry shouted to those behind him.

"Chase!" A chaotic but loud shout came from behind.

They did it! They did it!

At this moment, many people were already in tears. They had actually succeeded in their resistance and had a chance to leave this hellhole alive!

Staying here, every few days the people around you will be taken away. Some of them will disappear completely, while others will come back in a daze, as if they are hypnotized. Only when someone explains the situation to them again can they wake up.

On the day someone is taken away, the cave will echo with the sound of some kind of machine roaring.

Some of the people in charge of the transport knew that it was a body shredder.

Even if those people have been turned into their kind, all those demons will do is throw them in.

The feeling that no one knows when they will be chosen as food, no one knows when they will have to go to that shredder, is a deeper fear than the environment here.

P.S.: The image above will be visible after refreshing.

Chapter Thirty-Six: We are as steady as Mount Tai!

They were finally able to escape that endless fear.

Even describing it to outsiders is unimaginable. They had to work for those demons all the time, and the only result of their labor was that the exceptionally talented ones would be kept on to work indefinitely.

Those who refuse to cooperate with the demons will be quickly devoured, and everyone else will see how they are tortured, begging for mercy, and regretting that they shouldn't have done it, as ghouls.

Those who cooperate, but don't do well enough, can't learn, or are slow to learn, will also be quickly worn down.

The most terrifying thing is that even after they become ghouls, they have to continue working until the day they get hungry, because if they don't work, they will be tortured to death, while working at least allows them to have their hearts pierced and be given a quick death.

Even if they cooperate perfectly or do an excellent job, it's useless because this level of labor is simply unbearable for humans. After a month or two, one day their body will have problems, and that's when they'll end up on the dinner table.

Because they are not worth wasting medicine on, and to avoid dying or becoming sickly before even taking it, they will be dealt with quickly.

What disgusted them most was the villagers' faces. They were clearly sucking their blood, but they would pretend to be reluctant, covering their heads and eyes with red cloth and stuffing their mouths with something, leaving only their clean necks exposed. Then those things would sit together, drinking and chatting, while opening their mouths to bite their necks.

They might even lose that memory, leaving only a deep-seated fear in their hearts.

Fortunately, it seems that all of this is about to end today.

...

On the other side of the mountain.

A group of old men held the phone in great fear.

"Hurry! Gather everyone over here! Bring as many as you can!"

They had received word that Mount Tento had fallen completely, and now the rioting food supplies and the two monsters were heading towards them through the underground tunnel connecting the two mountains.

Their voices were hysterical. They could have ignored it before because it was all trivial, whether it was the burning of the village or the constant stream of people coming up the mountain.

If all else fails, we can move the supplies at night. The scale is already this big, so even if all the ingredients are gone, we can just make more. The important thing is that what's going on here can't be exposed.

They were just trying to cover it up, but then they realized, damn it! How did the fire get back on them?!

"You bastard, didn't you say nothing would happen?"

An old man angrily grabbed the collar of an old man wearing a kimono.

The person being pulled was the old man who had been talking to Jingxin at the pond earlier; he was the theoretical local tyrant, the landowner of the two mountains, Yamada Yasuo.

However, he didn't tolerate the man's behavior and grabbed his hand to make him let go.

"Shut up! The Qi people are already at Qianzhang Mountain! They'll stop those guys! Calm down! We just need you to call some men to help! There are too many rioters, and our people here might not be able to handle it! As long as we can hold out until nightfall, we can move out!"

Looking at the chaotic hall, Yamada Yasuo tried his best to explain.

That's right, these are the powerful and influential people he cultivated during his early days. Many of them have already moved into the mountains as they've gotten older, though they won't realize they've been deceived until they've moved in.

But now that we're already on board, we have no choice but to comply.

Some people might wonder, "It's only been 14 years, why are there already so many people?"

This brings us to the issue of the elderly holding power in Japan, which is essentially an aging ruling class problem. Even in a school, which should be an ivory tower of equality, Japan has created a situation where seniors and juniors are treated differently. Unless someone has no connections at the top, it's impossible for young people to control social resources.

In addition, Japan has a serious aging population, which means that most of the politicians, heads of government agencies, company presidents, and even some middle-level managers in companies are elderly.

This is why, during the previous pandemic, many elderly people died in Japan, while young people were opening champagne and saying it was like cats!

And now these old folks, who feel their lives are threatened, are showing a tremendous will to survive.

"I'm calling a helicopter! I'm not going to waste my breath on this!"

"Shut up! It's all your fault! If you had called people up from other cities earlier, this wouldn't have happened!"

"Forget it! When Yamada said it, didn't you all say we didn't need to worry about it? It's just two people, what could possibly happen?"

Seeing the group of old ghosts making a ruckus, Yamada roared and interrupted their noise.

"enough!"

As he spoke, he slammed his cane down heavily.

"I have always emphasized that things should not be done on a large scale, and this is for our own good!"

Don't you realize that no matter how much trouble we cause outside Xinxiang, it won't get us anywhere? But here, we can't be discovered! If even one distrustful person reports what's happening here to the higher-ups, what do you think will happen to us?

They'll seize this opportunity for themselves and then silence those of us who know the truth! That's why I keep saying we need to be bold when making arrests, because those are minor matters. As long as those people want to live forever, they'll protect us! But what if the real situation here becomes known?

To put it bluntly, even if we survive, will we still have our current status? Who will be in charge then? Will it be me, the new richest man in the village, or you, the former president of Usuda Heavy Industries? Or perhaps you, the former chairman of Sakura Bank before its acquisition?

As soon as Yamada said this, the previously noisy hall quieted down, and everyone looked at him.

He waved.

"We can't call for helicopters, that would be too much of a fuss. I already got scolded for telling them not to report the fire! I've contacted the Haiyuan Group of Songfu. They'll be here in three hours to surround the village. Only the Haiyuan Group has absolute control over us. Just have the people you call guard the area and prevent more people from getting in."

I had the Qi people deal with the escaped feed at the foot of the mountain first, to prevent them from escaping. That's why. Don't you think about it? If even one of the feed is caught by those guys who aren't our own and they find out the specifics of our situation, we'll end up like the one I mentioned earlier!

Now, we just need to wait. This riot won't last long. As soon as those yakuza members bring their weapons down the mountain, these people will only think about running away. Tonight, it will be our territory again. We just need to lock the door and wait!

"It'll only be three hours; we're as stable as a mountain here!"

Chapter Thirty-Seven: Kree's Visible Hand!

Three hours, just three hours is enough. A group of absolutely trustworthy people will arrive in Xinxiang and the problem will be solved then.

That's what I thought, but time just keeps dragging on.

Only twenty minutes had passed.

"Sir! Those men have already reached the bottom of Qianzhang Mountain through the tunnel."

"Where's Jingxin? Didn't I send him to blow up the tunnel?"

"Master Jingxin... we can no longer contact him."

"What?!"

The time came to 50 minutes.

"Sir, the canteen and warehouse in the mountains have been captured. They are coming out from outside and heading this way."
