Special effects: Saving the world starting from becoming a Zergling

"Fragments of an alien meteorite?!"

Upon hearing Tiandao's words, Youzhen instantly recalled the modified mechanical insect from last time.

"Nogi Reiji, have you already discovered Kamishiro Ken's identity?" Yuuma realized how troublesome the situation was.

Misaki must have concealed part of the truth about what happened last time, which allowed Reiji Nogi to find an opportunity to attack Kenshin.

The old man was just an ordinary person, and without anyone else to help him, how could he protect himself from all sides?

"You meant well but ended up doing something wrong, Misaki."

Yuzhen looked at the old man in front of her, who had a regretful expression on his face, and sighed softly.

"The vast majority of alien insects should not exist in this world after all."

"Such a ferocious and cunning creature will only destroy this world."

Yuuma raised his head, met Tendou's gaze, and solidified his resolve.

The vast majority of the tragedies around him were caused by alien insects. Youzhen was no saint; he shared the same thoughts about these alien insects as the Heavenly Dao.

To protect those around you, to protect humanity and the world, the only option is to kill!

"Once I take office, I will begin investigating this matter, as well as the higher-ups' pursuit of Kamen Riders who are away. I will also help you withstand the pressure."

"Do whatever you want during my term of office. I will give you the maximum authority I can."

Yuzhen was very concise and efficient. After giving his instructions, he stopped looking at the old man and quickly walked outside.

Now that you understand what you need to do, you should start doing it now.

"Beep beep beep".

Before she could even step out the door, the phone rang again. Yuzhen realized it was a call from headquarters and quickly answered.

"Is that Commander Yuuma, the overall commander of Shibuya Ward?"

The voice on the other end of the phone was familiar, and Yuma spoke directly: "Miwako, please speak. I have a lot of things to do here."

"I apologize for disturbing Commander Yuuma, but there is a matter concerning the entire Shibuya Ward that requires your attention."

Miwako was very respectful.

"explain."

Yuzhen glanced at Tendou who was walking over, and calmly asked the person on the other end of the phone.

"The Royal Bee Adaptor, Kageyama, along with Mirage, trespassed into the Zerg's nest in Shibuya Ward and has lost contact with them; their whereabouts are currently unknown."

"According to Captain Kageyama's last message, that place is a Zerg hatchery and laboratory. They can't hold out and urgently need reinforcements!"

The news brought by Miwako came at just the right time for Yuuma.

He just happened to be looking into the mechanical insects, and Kageyama conveniently provided him with a boost in sales.

"What are the mission requirements from headquarters?" Yuma leaned against the door.

"Destroy the nest and bring back the queen bee!"

After a pause, they added, "We'll see how the Shadow Squad is handled."

"Okay." Yuzhen hung up the phone and gave a slight smile.

This perfectly fits the ZECT style of mission requirements, where people are merely appendages.

On the surface, this war is a war between humans and Zerg; in reality, humans are merely victims caught in the middle, with both sides using humans as pawns in a constant game of cat and mouse.

"Take care of the Zerg first, then deal with the Protozoa."

After setting her goals, Yuma began calling each of the team leaders on the list given to her by Miwako.

To build a Zerg nest, a significant amount of manpower and resources are needed to block out relevant information about the surrounding area.

Even though she had just been promoted to commander-in-chief, Yuma understood this.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Kageyama and his group were still struggling.

Kageyama and his group hid in a corner of the abandoned factory, fine beads of sweat sliding down their faces.

The area was covered with discarded old canvas, which concealed their figures, and the smell of engine oil effectively masked their odors.

"Captain, what should we do?"

A shadow of gloom crossed Kageyama's eyes as he faced the problems of his teammates.

He originally wanted to catch a moving mechanical insect and use it as bait to lure Kabuto and the insect that was following Kabuto.

Unexpectedly, he was tricked by the mechanical insect and ended up in its trap, like a butterfly trapped in a spider web, unable to escape.

"Don't worry, I sent out a distress message at the last moment before I lost contact."

He remained silent for a moment, but still gave his teammates a glimmer of hope.

In dire straits, this glimmer of hope was enough to sustain them for a long time.

"squeak……"

A green figure walked past them not far away, and Kageyama and several ant soldiers immediately stopped talking, not daring to breathe.

The patrolling green-skinned soldiers are easy to deal with, but once they are discovered, they will have to start an endless escape.

The factory wasn't particularly large, and the space available for them to stay was very limited.

If they can stay in one place for a little longer, their chances of survival will increase.

After the green-skinned train passed by, they gradually relaxed. Just as they were about to exchange words, the canvas covering them was lifted.

A blinding white light shone in, and Kageyama reacted quickly, pressing it against his armband and transforming into a royal bee.

The remaining men also picked up their guns and aimed them at the people in front of them.

"How pathetic you are, my brother."

Upon seeing the person in front of him, Kageyama was taken aback. He waved to the people behind him, telling them to relax.

"Come in!"

He deactivated his transformation, covered the canvas again, and casually dragged the corn hull inside.

"Captain, what are you doing here?"

"And why did you disappear without a word? We made a promise that we..."

Kageyama looked at Yaguruma's ringed outfit and became somewhat anxious, his voice unconsciously rising, which attracted the presence of more alien insects outside.

"Me? Of course I'm here to rescue you. Someone called me and said your situation is terrible."

Yaguruma pressed down on Kageyama's shoulder, his expression serious, trying to quiet him down.

Once the sounds of the Zerg outside subsided, Yagura continued, "Didn't I tell you before that if I disappeared, you shouldn't get involved in this mess with ZECT?"

"Why, why won't you listen to me!"

I clearly begged Heaven and that kid that even after you leave ZECT, you'll find a good place and they won't abandon you!

Why won't you listen?

Yaguruma looked at the tense-faced boy in front of him, feeling a surge of anger.

"I want to realize my value!"

Kageyama stared at Yaguruma, stubbornly saying.

"You idiot, in ZECT, you'll only ever be a dog to those bugs!"

Yagura thought about his past experiences and growled.

If it weren't for the secret assistance of that high-ranking official, he would never have been able to successfully steal the Fist-Locust and Kick-Locust Knight Systems.

"insect?"

Seeing Kageyama's clearly confused expression, Yaguruma sighed and could only pat his younger brother on the shoulder: "I'll explain it to you in detail after we get out."

He crouched down, leaning against Kageyama, quietly waiting for the signal agreed upon over the phone.
