Special effects: Saving the world starting from becoming a Zergling

"I'll think about it when I get back, and I'll write down what I want to know in my notebook."

Knowing Youzhen's worries, Xiaoxu was not an unreasonable person.

She looked at the somewhat tired man in front of her and gave him some instructions.

"You also need to be careful. If it's too dangerous, don't push yourself."

Yuzhen grinned, indicating that he understood.

"Let's go back together. I need a few helpers there."

After taking the coat off the hanger and putting it on, Youzhen, carrying the empty insulated food container, left the office with Xiaoxu.

"Commander Yuuma, you're so young and capable!"

"And he's incredibly handsome! Having a boss like that is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

"Yes, yes, unlike that old man from before, who would just yell at us."

"It is said that he has been dismissed from his post by headquarters and reassigned to a local police department."

"That's all for now, Commander Yuuma has come out with his girlfriend, shh..."

The whispers around them suddenly stopped, and several clerks quietly looked up and secretly glanced at the passing commander-in-chief.

The commander-in-chief was tall and wore a black trench coat. He had a cold expression, but he was carrying a pink insulated box in one hand and holding Xiao Xu's hand in the other.

The powerful aura and the object in his hand created a perfect contrast, but it made him look even cooler.

The whispering didn't resume until Yu-zhen and Xiao-xu had walked away.

"Is he a cold and ruthless commander on the surface, but a loving and caring husband in private?"

"With such a contrasting personality, Commander Yuma seems even more charming."

"You're talking nonsense. You're just lusting after the Commander-in-Chief and trying to justify yourself."

As they talked, their voices lowered.

Looking at the bustling office, Masato Nakamura felt quite troubled.

The parachuted-in commander is great in every way, except that he's a bit too popular with these older single women in the office.

I'm single too, so why doesn't anyone like me?

"I have facial paralysis, but I'm quite narcissistic," thought Masato Nakamura.

He was completely unaware of the immense pressure his expressionless yet righteous face placed on the office clerks.

"Steel Fighter, God of War, hehe."

Tiandao covered his face with a newspaper, trying his best to block out the voice of the fool beside him.

"Heaven's Way, Heaven's Way! Do you know, I've gained Steel Fighter's approval! From now on, I will definitely eliminate even more alien insects!"

Kagami grinned foolishly and patiently repeated the words to the Heavenly Path over and over again.

Kazama Daisuke, who was sitting to the side waiting, felt like his ears were about to be worn out from all the nausea.

"This is the 131st time you've said this. Let's take a break."

He couldn't take Kagami's nagging any longer, so he stood up and prepared to go outside for some peace and quiet.

"Why isn't Yuzuru here yet? If he doesn't come soon, I'm really leaving," he complained.

"Ring ring..."

Said Cao Cao, Cao Cao.

As soon as Yu-chan and Xiao-xu stepped into the store, they were startled by Kazama Daisuke approaching them.

"What are you doing?!"

"You need to control that guy. Use your position in ZECT to shut him up."

Kazama Daisuke pointed at Kagami over there, utterly dejected.

Yuma followed Daisuke Kazama's finger and saw Kagami talking to the newspaper.

Yuma boldly speculated that if it weren't for that newspaper, Kagami might have stared at Tendou's eyes with "affectionate eyes".

"Ah-Xu, do you want to make something to eat?"

Xiao Xu instantly understood what You Zhen meant. After smiling at him, she ran into the kitchen with small steps.

"Kagami!"

Yuma roared, waking up the "repeater." Just as Kagami turned his head, a righteous iron fist landed directly on his head.

"It hurts, it hurts!"

He cried out in pain after being hit, jumped up from his seat, and clutched his head.

Finally freed, Tiandao slowly put down his newspaper and rubbed his ears.

"Finally, the whole world is quiet..."

Two lines of clear tears streamed down Daisuke Kazama's face, and he suddenly felt that the whole world had become beautiful.

Once she regained her senses, Kagami saw Yuuma and her face lit up with joy. She was about to say something when she saw him.

"stop!"

A tamagoyaki flew out of the kitchen and was caught by Yuma. The next second, it was stuffed into Kagami's mouth.

"Let's get down to business."

Yuzhen clapped his hands and sat down in front of Tendou.

Daisuke Kazama rushed forward and pinned Kagami down, preventing him from making a sound.

"I'm ready for the ruins of Shibuya."

Tendou glanced at Yuuma, picked up the coffee on the table, and slowly took a sip.

"I'm really ready. I want to know the answer I've been avoiding for so long."

Fearing that Heaven would think he wasn't resolute enough, Youzhen pronounced each word very clearly, emphasizing every nuance.

"Just tell me what you want me to do, and that's all."

Seeing that Yuzhen had misunderstood his meaning, Tiandao spoke up.

"Once I finish this, my identity as the commander will be gone, and ZECT will definitely spare no effort to hunt me down."

"You guys... especially Daisuke, you need to think about what to do next."

Yuma first explained the serious consequences that would occur after this was done.

Then he got back to the main point: "The Zerg might take advantage of the internal strife to launch an attack."

"I hope that Tendo and Kagami can lend a hand in times of crisis."

"no problem!"

Kagami, having finished eating the tamagoyaki, propped her head up and gave Yuuma a big smile.

"And... Yuuma, you know... mmm mmm."

Daisuke Kazama covered Kagami's mouth, smiling as he gestured for them to continue.

"Even Heaven is curious about what's inside, isn't it?"

"Of course, but I suspect that what you've seen might not be what you're looking for."

Tiandao stood up and slowly pointed to the sky with one hand.

Even something as great as the sun can experience a solar eclipse.

"And you, as a mortal, are you prepared to face an outcome like a solar eclipse?"

"Whether the outcome is good or bad, it's the path I have to take."

"Let's go then!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Xiao Xu came out carrying a plate of mackerel. Tian Dao reacted quickly, pulled out his chopsticks, and fed the fish directly into his mouth.

"Is this what pre-war preparations are like?"

When the mackerel was served, Kagami's eyes lit up, and with a burst of energy, he knocked Kazama Daisuke off his back and ran to the table to eat it heartily.

Yu-zhen received a very different treatment; Xiao-xu personally fed him tamagoyaki.

Kazama Daisuke was left alone, watching the delicious food and swallowing his saliva.

"By the way, Daisuke, what brings you here?"

Yuma only realized after finishing the tamagoyaki that Daisuke shouldn't be here.

"It's for Quan, that child. She's been trying to regain her memories, so... I came to ask you if there's any way."

Daisuke Kazama scratched his face, looking somewhat embarrassed.

He can't exactly say that he has no other choice, can he?

"That's easy. Just take the letter I wrote and go to the population database to investigate as soon as possible."

"I'd better hurry, because in a couple of days I might get fired."

Yuma pulled out a piece of paper, took out the pen he always carried, wrote down what he wanted to say on it, and then handed it to Daisuke Kazama.

"Thanks."

After receiving the letter, Daisuke Kazama gave Yuuma a grateful look and quickly left Sal.

The group quickly finished their meal and rested briefly at Sal's restaurant.

After Xiaoxu handed a piece of paper to Youzhen, the three of them set off without any hesitation.

Destination: Ruins of Shibuya Ward.
