Special effects: Saving the world starting from becoming a Zergling

After the church incident, Kagami went to the hospital, while Yuuma became even more demanding of himself.

The emergence of mechanical Zerg has put him under great pressure. These semi-mechanical creations are much stronger than the original Zerg, which makes him feel a sense of urgency and crisis.

The original plot took an uncontrollable turn, which made him lack confidence in protecting Xiaoxu.

So, with Tiandao's permission, the two would wander around Tokyo every night, practicing their skills while searching for any strange insects that might appear.

After several days of continuous exploration, the two were surprised to find that the frequency of the alien insects appearing was decreasing!

"This is not a normal phenomenon in Tokyo right now."

Yuma sighed and expressionlessly ate the tamagoyaki in front of her.

"There is always calm before the storm."

With a graceful motion, Tiandao inserted a fork into the mackerel, picked up a piece, and put it into his mouth.

"How are your preparations going with ZECT?" He swallowed the mackerel and looked at Yuuma.

"I've already joined ZECT, but my abilities aren't as amazing as yours. I've just been assigned to the Ant Soldier Squad as a captain."

Yuma wiped his mouth; this was something he had been busy with lately.

Although the number of alien insects has decreased, the ant soldiers do not need to attack as frequently as before, but they still need to clock in and out as usual.

Takahashi was somewhat disappointed because he had changed jobs.

However, upon hearing that it was a civil servant position, he was overjoyed and invited a large group of diners to celebrate for Yu-chan.

"Reaching this point on your own proves that you do have some talent."

Tendou placed his chopsticks on the table and looked at Yuzhen with a hint of appreciation in his eyes.

He had originally planned to help Yuma by getting him into ZECT through connections, but Yuma only asked him to help with a few days of special training to simply develop his command skills.

Despite the short notice, Yuma successfully joined ZECT and became its captain.

"I'm not human anymore."

Yuzhen felt somewhat disappointed when she mentioned her identity as a Zergling.

His alien body, combined with his extraordinary comprehension and memory abilities after his transmigration, made him a genius as well.

But... he was no longer living in this world as a human being.

"Sometimes, the line between humans and non-humans isn't so clear-cut," Tiandao patted his shoulder, comforting him.

From the perspective of Heaven, those who occupy positions without performing their duties are even less human than alien insects like Youzhen.

"Everyone understands this principle, but to remain calm and composed after knowing that one's body is abnormal... I doubt anyone can do that, right?"

Yuzhen spread her hands, somewhat helplessly.

The inhuman disparity was something that normal people could never experience, especially someone as well-informed as him.

Killing oneself sounds incredibly horrifying.

"Didn't Kagami say he was being discharged today? I'm taking Xiaoxu with me to pick him up from the hospital around noon. Are you coming?"

Tendou knew this was Yuuma's inner conflict. Seeing that he couldn't persuade him, he avoided the topic and turned to Kagami.

"Work after joining ZECT is not easy. Xu has complained to me a lot lately, saying that I haven't spent enough time with her."

"I really can't find the time; my teammates are waiting for me not far from here."

Yuzhen patted the black combat suit she was wearing and, in front of Tiandao, put on the ant soldier helmet that belonged to her.

"Kabuto, you're surrounded. Give up your futile resistance and hand over your belt!" After putting on the helmet, his tone suddenly became serious and solemn, and he pointed his hand at Tendou as if it were a gun.

"How is it? Do you smell it?"

Seeing that Tendou remained silent, Yuzhen cheerfully took off her helmet and asked him again.

Looking at the goofy Yuuma, Tendou felt no seriousness at all, only amusement.

He suppressed the urge to laugh, turned his back, and called out to the kitchen, "Xiao Xu, we should go!"

"They're here!"

Xiao Xu agreed quickly, and within minutes she had tidied her clothes and emerged from the kitchen.

After coming out, Xiao Xu immediately ran to You Zhen's side and straightened his collar.

"Although I don't know what kind of job you found, you should still be more careful when you go out."

Looking at Xiaoxu's face so close to hers, Youzhen instinctively wanted to lean in, but was pushed away.

"Well……"

Seeing the murderous look in Tiandao's eyes, Youzhen awkwardly scratched her head, said goodbye to Xiaoxu, and quickly slipped out.

"That brat—"

Unfurling his clenched fist, Tiandao's cold face softened with a smile upon seeing Xiaoxu's happy expression.

"Heavenly Dao, let's go!"

Xiao Xu smiled at Tian Dao and skipped and hopped out of Sal.

After getting to know each other better, Xiao Xu was no longer so afraid of Tian Dao. Although this person was a bit pretentious, he treated her incredibly well.

If Heaven treats her this way, what right does she have to question Heaven's faults?

"Yuuma, I hope you can protect her."

Seeing the girl no longer depressed as before, Tiandao was both happy and sad about Xiaoxu's change, and finally silently followed the girl.

"Seriously, all I wanted was a kiss on the cheek..."

Yuzhen kicked a pebble on the side of the road, thinking to himself, "I dare not say it out loud, or I will get beaten up!"

Who knows how many celestial beings are watching him?

Yuzhen guessed that he had probably already been added to the Heavenly Dao's "This Person Must Be Killed" list.

But then again, kissing your sister in front of a brother who's obsessed with his sister... sounds kind of exciting.

"Captain, we have a message from above!"

A fully armed team member spotted Yuzhen from afar. He jogged over to Yuzhen's side, somewhat anxiously interrupting Yuzhen's daydream.

With Yuzhen not around and their superiors pressing them hard, they barely managed to withstand the pressure.

"Takada, don't rush, tell me what's wrong."

Compared to his anxious subordinates, Yuma seemed far too unhurried.

In his view, as long as they didn't encounter anything too monstrous, he could protect this group of people.

In just a few days at ZECT, he already had a nickname: "King of Survival".

Survival isn't just about saving your own life; the casualty rate among the team members under Yuma's command is very low!

Therefore, Yuzhen's "Snow Leopard" squad has become the squad that the ant soldiers most want to join.

The ant soldiers are also human beings; they also want to survive as long as possible while completing their mission!

"It's about your friend, Captain Kagami..." The man called Takada wiped the sweat trickling down his forehead.

Ok?

Yuzhen's gaze sharpened slightly, and she immediately said in a deep voice, "What happened to him? Tell me the truth."

"It wasn't Captain Kagami, it was... his former colleague..."

Feeling the low atmospheric pressure surrounding Yuma, Takada panicked even more.

"Commander Tadokoro and Captain Misaki have disappeared!!!"

"Our superiors ordered us to find them immediately and bring them back."

The man was filled with trepidation, fearing that he might displease Youzhen.

"Is this another unexpected event?"

After listening to Takada's report, Yuma muttered to himself.

He looked towards the horizon, where dark clouds were gradually spreading in his direction.
