A Bizarre Adventure Starting with One-Punch Man

"Thank you, Section Chief!" ×N

After a busy morning, the officers got up, took their favorite food from Johnson, and went back to their desks to enjoy their meal.

"I'll forgive you for now, since you're a capitalist and you still have a conscience."

Anzu held the expensive deluxe eel rice set meal, her little mouth bulging as she ate, looking just like a stingy hamster preparing for winter.

"You've worked hard, my deputy section chief." Qiao Sen held a box of pork chop rice and ate it while standing in front of Xingzi's table. "There's no way around it. The Special Affairs Section has just been established, and these kinds of trivial matters are inevitable."

Xingzi rolled her eyes at him, swallowed the food in her mouth, and said angrily, "Then you should send us more people! There are so many things to do, how can we, a few cats and dogs, possibly handle them all?"

"Calm down, calm down." Qiao Sen put the empty lunchbox on the table and straightened his clothes. "Your section chief had a good day. The reward from headquarters will be coming soon."

"Really? How much can you possibly gain in just one morning..." Xingzi looked at Qiao Sen with suspicion as he turned to leave. "Hey, you trash!"

"Help me throw this away."

"..."

After Johnson left, the Special Affairs Office became somewhat noisy.

One officer complained, "Is what the section chief said true? I really don't want to touch any of this paperwork anymore!"

"Hey, don't you guys think Section Chief Johnson's eating posture is really cool? Ouch..."

A young policewoman's face lit up, only to be met with a precise chopstick strike from Xingzi: "Stop being so infatuated. Eating lunch so fast, your section chief is a real glutton..."

"Yes, yes, even if he's a foodie, he's still the most handsome!"

Xingzi: "..."

How can I save you, you office nymphomaniac?

As she thought about it, her face also flushed slightly.

Although I don't want to admit it, what she said makes a lot of sense...

Chapter 35 The Shelter (Part 1)

Z City, Hero Association Branch.

Tap tap tap tap...

"Team leader! Team leader!"

The sound of high heels suddenly stopped in the gleaming marble corridor.

Two long, straight legs encased in black stockings were revealed above the burgundy high heels. The owner of the long legs was wearing a suit uniform customized by the Hero Association. The fitted pencil skirt outlined a perfect and alluring S-curve. Beneath her golden wavy hair were a pair of burgundy glasses in the same color as the high heels.

It was Lani.

Lanny clutched a stack of documents to her chest with one hand and pushed up her glasses with the other: "Why are you in such a hurry to see me? What's up?"

"That's right, headquarters just updated the latest hero roster, and the hero names and hero levels of the two potential heroes we submitted earlier have been confirmed!"

“So that’s what it is,” Lani nodded, her gaze turning slightly cold. “Those incompetent guys at headquarters are as inefficient as ever. We’ve emphasized the combat strength levels of the two heroes repeatedly, but it’s still dragged on for so long… Never mind, let’s go to the conference room.”

"Yes!"

……

"Lord Johnson! Are you Lord Johnson?"

Just as Qiao Sen stepped out of a bubble tea shop near the police station and took a sip through his straw, he was blocked by two sweaty men in black suits.

"I'm Qiao Sen, and you two are?"

"Lord Johnson, we've finally found you!" One of the young men, wearing sunglasses and a headset, wiped his sweat. "We are staff members from the Z City branch of the Hero Association, sent to invite you..."

boom--

Suddenly, the earth shook violently!

Violent tremors and loud noises continued to come from afar, and even the surrounding buildings began to shake. Two Hero Association staff members stumbled, but were caught by Johnson's telekinesis to prevent them from falling.

People ran and shouted in terror on the streets, and the atmosphere of panic gradually spread. The emergency broadcasts that had been installed on both sides of the road began to broadcast.

"Urgent! Urgent! A giant, unidentified monster has attacked the urban area of ​​Z City. The suspected disaster level is: Demon! Citizens in the surrounding area are urged to immediately proceed to the nearest shelter and await rescue under the guidance of the staff!"

"Repeated announcement! Z City urban area..."

"Let's talk about it later. It looks like I need to go there first."

Johnson helped the two staff members to their feet, and his body was already airborne, flying towards the direction where the monster was rampaging.

"Sigh, but... he's already gone?"

"They're already out of sight... So fast! No wonder they're Z City's first A-level hero!"

"But we haven't finished the task Lady Lani gave us yet!"

"Well, there's nothing we can do in this situation, isn't there? Perhaps the team leader should handle it personally..."

Z City, Seventh Shelter.

The Hero Association has made various attempts to respond to emergencies and major disasters.

Urban shelters are one of the key projects being promoted during this phase.

Relying on the association's strong financial resources and infrastructure capabilities, it has built multiple large-scale refuge facilities in major human cities, equipped with powerful defense systems, which can theoretically withstand all types of attacks when major disasters occur.

This can both provide time for professional heroes to carry out rescues and maximize the preservation of citizens' lives.

Today, the shelters in Z City are packed with shaken citizens, and all the various defense systems are fully operational, which means...

Disaster, or rather, strange beings, have already struck.

boom! boom! boom!

One after another, residential buildings collapsed after being hit by an unknown attack, and the sand and dust kicked up swept in all directions.

In the blink of an eye, several prosperous neighborhoods have been turned into hell on earth.

A gigantic figure, almost as tall as the city's overpass, emerged from the billowing smoke. Thick, segmented limbs, sharp mouthparts, an alloy-like carapace, and a bizarre, ugly human face growing from its head constituted a giant insect with severely excessive nutrition.

A strange person, "a 170,000-year-old cicada larva".

Disaster level: Ghost!

The professional heroes who were active nearby rushed to the scene to fight. They were C-rank 299 "Students", C-rank 140 "Red Scarf Fighters", and B-rank 64 "Dark Flame Dragon Blade Master", a promising newcomer.

The three young heroes joined forces and, after a fierce battle, finally succeeded...

They were defeated by the strange man.

Fortunately, he didn't lose his life; he was just covered in dust and dirt as he followed the crowd into the shelter.

Seeing the heroes, who were usually touted as incredibly powerful, in such a sorry state, many of the Hero Association's loyal followers immediately broke down in their defenses.

"Hey, hey, hey, what kind of heroes are you bunch of idiots?!"

"Are you kidding me? How did you all get in here? What if you attract the weirdo?"

"Useless! Utterly useless! I wasted so much money donating to the Hero Association just a few days ago!"

The defeated heroes had no excuse.

Their individual capabilities are limited; being able to escort a large number of civilians safely into the shelter is already considered fulfilling their duty.

There have been many expressions of gratitude for this.

There were still quite a few rational citizens present. Any normal person knows that the attack by a strange person is no joke.

With the shelter doors now completely closed, at least those of them who had entered were safe.

As for that freak outside who can't even leave a mark when you cut him with a blade, it's not something these ordinary B or C-class heroes can handle.

It is impossible to defeat an enemy of this level; it is impossible to defeat them in this lifetime.

All they can do is hide in the shelter and wait for the strange man to die of old age.

Upon hearing the red-scarf fighter make such a self-deprecating statement, the trapped crowd descended into chaos.

"...Bastard! What kind of talk is that?"

"Are you kidding me? How many years would it take for that monster to die of old age?"

……

"This is troublesome..." In the crowd, an ordinary-looking young man with black hair listened to the people's discussion, and sweat gradually appeared on his forehead. "They just said, where is this place again?"

"This is a shelter," a young woman with long, straight black hair, a white-haired office worker, looked relieved and smiled as she comforted him. "You're safe once you're in the shelter. You're finally saved!"

"It's actually more troublesome..." The black-haired youth scratched his head in frustration under the young woman's puzzled gaze. "I thought I could find the monster by following those self-proclaimed heroes, but I ended up in the shelter. By the way, can that door be opened?"

"Uh..." The young lady didn't quite catch his train of thought for a moment, and hesitated, "Once the other heroes arrive and deal with the monsters destroying the city, it should open, right?"

"Oh, at least it can be opened!"

Upon hearing this, the black-haired youth's expression brightened, and he immediately pushed through the crowd and walked towards the gate.

Girl: "Huh?"
