Zongman, can you be immortal with me for the rest of your life?

Because Kerry felt that Lihua's reputation would be useful in the next step, he explained it to him while retreating. As a result, Lihua was stunned when she heard the news.

Now it can explain why she couldn't get through countless reincarnations. Not to mention the army, even if she could unite the six melee gods of the Hinamizawa God Group to fight the mountain dogs with 50 armed troops, they would be just eating cake. Not to mention that after she dealt with the mountain dogs, there would be the Self-Defense Forces to massacre the village.

Now she felt relieved, she felt that it was not her fault.

She is just an elementary school student who cannot leave the village. No matter who comes, no one can break this situation!

According to the results of the discussion before the few people came here, Lihua walked into the crowd and spoke.

“It was those people from the clinic who kidnapped me.

Our village has also encountered an unprecedented crisis."

Lihua did not hesitate to put the blame for her kidnapping on the clinic. Although these outsiders had treated her so badly before, it was this cruelty towards the suspected villains that made Lihua trust them more.

Lihua's words sparked discussion among the villagers.

The Hinamizawa God Group were all happy and excited to see Rika return.

Hojo Satoko was even more excited when she saw her brother among the people she brought.

Kerry didn't know what they were talking about. Wasn't it obvious that the village was in danger?

"It was these friends from out of town who rushed into the clinic and saved me. Did you all hear the explosion?"

With that, Rika walked down to the stage and then onto it with familiarity. As a shrine maiden, it was her job to perform Kagura at the festival every June.

Finally, the three oldest and most influential elders in the village stood together.

Kerry and the other two also took the stage easily.

"Everyone, time is very tight, and I don't have time to explain in detail. Anyway, as the maiden of the shrine god, I must tell you that the shrine god fell asleep many years ago and there is no such thing as haunting. The disappearances and murders in the past four years are all man-made!"

Taking a deep breath, as a witch, she now had to break the superstition that she relied on for her survival.

"And the crazy people are not cursed, but because of a virus..."

It took Rika about 30 seconds to explain the legend of the shrine god and the various rumors that had spread in the village over the years.

Many of the older generation of villagers in the audience had expressions of disbelief and a look of shattered worldview.

After all, this is a small village. Secondly, there have been cases where people have gone crazy for no apparent reason. Coupled with the feudal management, everyone believes in the shrine gods.

Now their witch tells them that God is long gone and everything is just a scientific factor.

But as Lihua said, time was really tight and there was no chance for them to react.

Next, the ghost woman, whose speech content had been determined by Kirito, came on stage.

The witch sighed. She didn't expect that she, who was about to be buried at such an old age, would have to go through all this. However, when she recalled the experience when Kirito almost broke her bones with a rope, she blushed again. Alas... If only she were 50 years younger.

Then the ghost woman and the village chief explained that it was because of this disease that the Japanese government came to kill them.

The villagers had no choice but to believe it. After the quick speech, several people immediately arranged for the elderly, weak, women and children in the village to go into the mountains. This altar and the ancestral home of the Sonozaki family would be disguised as a refuge for the villagers, and torches would be lit as the first battlefield to fight.

Chapter 148: Battle!

Although the villagers had discovered that their communications had been cut off long ago, they still found it difficult to accept the situation.

Are you kidding me? You mean our country used us as test subjects, and now they want to kill us all for no apparent reason?

How can this be?

Then everyone thought, oh, this is Japan, that's really... totally possible!

Spicy balls!

Some of the children didn't understand what it meant and just stood there blankly in the crowd, but the more mature ones all had grim expressions on their faces.

The most unacceptable ones are Keiichi Maehara's family. They just moved here a few months ago and their family is relatively wealthy outside. As a result, just a few months after moving here, they were told that there was some infectious disease here and their whole family was probably affected. Secondly, because they have lived here for so few months, the Japanese government will not let them go when it de-ruralizes.

Keiichi's mother almost fainted, and it wasn't just her. The former residents of Hinamizawa also had pale faces, the women covered their faces and cried, and the men were terrified.

"Hurry up! Do you want your child to die here?"

Although the witch was also very troubled by this matter, the arrow had already been drawn, and she angrily scolded the villagers below.

Everything happened too suddenly and many people couldn't accept it, but that's life, some things just have to be faced after they happen.

A huge group of villagers set out towards the bridge.

The rest of the villagers who volunteered to stay and fight brought battle props from each household.

But this is a battle against the army, and the villagers have very few things they can use at home. The main thing they can use is gas tanks. Several cars have also arrived, and the Sonozaki family only has two trucks and special bulletproof vehicles.

The only equipment that could be considered combat-capable was also held by Sonozaki Mion.

It was an old AK47, and I don’t know where the Sonozaki family got it from.

Although the ultimate goal is to break out, to achieve this effect, you cannot directly engage in a firefight with the enemy's main force in an open field. According to the plans of the two sides' military strategists, Rena Ryuguya and Kazuma Sato, the villagers have no ability to fight against the enemy's main force.

The only way out is to find a way to annihilate the enemy's main force on the mountain, or to contain it, and then the villagers behind can study other ways to go down the mountain.

Although the local representative of amazing wisdom, Rena Ryuuguu, was quickly captured by her father and retreated with him.

However, time waits for no one, and it took too long for these villagers to retreat.

When about 200 villagers moved to the other side of the bridge, the main force of the extermination operation, which had been secretly mobilized from the surrounding cities and hidden in the mountains, arrived.

As the gate was briefly opened, nearly 20 small military troop carriers quickly rushed into the village from the foot of the mountain.

Various observation and sniper positions were set up above, and soldiers wearing small helmets and protective clothing jumped down one by one, carrying instruments and Type 64 automatic rifles.

"According to the plan, gather all infected villagers in a large public facility, then release the poison gas. Make sure it's sealed tightly before release! Be sure to inspect it thoroughly!"

Listening to the instructions of the command unit in the headset, the soldiers, who had long been impatient, rushed into the village.

Night is an absolute advantage for modern armies. Equipped with night vision and thermal imaging equipment, they can accurately lock onto the enemy at night.

When they rushed into the village, they soon discovered something was wrong.

"Report! House No. 1 West, the light is on and no one is there!"

"House No. 2 East is just as empty as House No. 1 East!"

The soldiers who broke through the small wooden door and rushed in soon discovered that the main part of the village was empty.

"Villagers, gather at the rear, near the mountainside mansion! It seems they've discovered something unusual! They're evacuating! Repeat..."

However, this level of confusion is meaningless. The drone equipped with night vision equipment flashed and changed its lights in the air. After flying a circle for a few minutes, it immediately locked onto the villagers' position.

Some of the troops immediately stayed behind at the village entrance, while the rest of the main force immediately set off to the positioning position.

Before the operation, satellite images had already locked onto every major building in Hinamizawa, and they even had their own unique code names. Although it is well known that the Self-Defense Forces are laughably useless, they still have basic modern military qualities.

Facing these people were several villagers.

Yes, even among the extremely united Hinamizawa, not everyone believed what Kerry and others said when faced with a life-and-death issue.

There are still some people, especially those who have gone out to study and received an education, who simply cannot accept that the government would do such a thing. They quietly leave the army hoping to contact these people with their families and retreat.

And no one knew whether this was an action against those outsiders or the Sonozaki family, but they tied the villagers to the same chariot as them.

But unfortunately, they were wrong.

"Wait! We have nothing to do with those people behind us! We are not..."

There were several young couples with their children raising their hands. In such a chaotic situation, no one was able to prevent them from leaving the team.

However, what faced these villagers who raised their hands was the flash of fire from gun barrels.

"Da da da!"

The sound of continuous automatic weapons fire and screams were heard.

"Ahhh!"

These soldiers who had never been on the battlefield had no idea about saving bullets. The logistics of the operation were unlimited, so even if the enemy was just a few ordinary people, they would just pour out their firepower.

"Clap! Clap!"

The muffled sound of bullets hitting flesh could be heard, and several children and adults fell to the ground in an instant.

Blood spread all around them.

As the army moved on around them, some people immediately came forward to burn the bodies.

The troops' movements were quite noisy, and their entry was quickly discovered by the villagers.

However, the load-bearing capacity of the cable bridge built with steel plates is limited, so no matter how anxious we are, we can only wait.

There was no choice but to search each room one by one, as those tasks would naturally be handled by subsequent personnel. The vanguard headed straight for the Sonozaki family's main residence, and then they saw the deserted altar and the Sonozaki residence behind it.

After the vanguard gathered 20 people, they immediately began to shout inside.

"Residents of Hinamizawa inside! A new international epidemic has broken out in Hinamizawa! Please come out immediately and accept government-assigned shelter! Repeat!"

After three shouts, the soldiers began to place detonators in front of the gate. When it failed, the leading soldiers threw flash bombs inside without hesitation.

"boom!"

Following a series of explosions, the door of the Sonozaki family's house was instantly blown open.

The team members behind him immediately filed in, leaving only two people to guard the gate.

However, they didn't notice that two individuals whose temperatures would be detected as extremely high under night vision equipment rushed out from under the red cloth of the altar behind them.

Without any hesitation, Kerry and Xiangzi raised their rifles and fired at the torso of the enemy guarding the gate.

The two team members who realized something was wrong fell to the ground trembling before they could fight back.

Inside the yard, Kirito and Kazuma were ready.

Unfortunately, there is not enough time, otherwise Kazuma would have turned the Sonozaki family into a gas tank ghost thunder array. Now there is no choice but to fight with guns.

Chapter 149 U Lu Sanaiyi!

Gritting her teeth, Shoko Toyokawa fired ammunition from the automatic weapon in her hand.

After making sure the enemy had fallen, she immediately squatted down and began to refill the magazine.

Her mind is now very confused, as an ordinary person, or a young lady, facing the official army directly.

She thought of many serious consequences, even involving her family or her father's friends.

But she couldn't forgive!

It is impossible to forgive these bastards, those villagers, those children, and even Lihua, who is sometimes steady and sometimes frivolous for some reason. Her parents were killed, and she is going to be killed for this inexplicable reason.

Those living people were right in front of her eyes before, and she didn't want them to become corpses dying painfully from strangling their own throats under the poison gas.

Every shot she fired was filled with fear and hesitation.

However, there was another voice in her head singing and shouting.

That was what I saw and heard after arriving in this village. It was the inhumane experiments conducted by the government just to make weapons or even just for some funding. It was the Mountain Dog troops who would not hesitate to send two thousand people to the grave for money.

These are the soldiers who can pull the trigger directly at children of their own country.

That was her fantasy, an ideal that she had only thought about and never thought could be realized.

If the hero knows that the rich man is killing the villagers, he will fight his way into the castle against the guards.

For example, a brave man breaks into the devil's palace alone in order to crush the enemy's conspiracy.

That's the epic of dark heroes, which is what she's doing now.

Only when ideals and reality overlap can she clearly realize the feelings and situations that those heroes once faced.

And now there was no time for her to hesitate. Aren't the other three the same as herself? If they could do something without hesitation, why couldn't she do it? What reason did she have to be weak here?

After changing the magazine, Xiangzi pulled the trigger again at the enemies who realized something was wrong and wanted to retreat.

……

The gunshots from the rear startled the invading team.

As they expected, they were dealing with unarmed villagers in this operation. The worst case scenario was that some villagers holding pitchforks were shot into sieves by them. They never expected to encounter fire resistance.

But it was too late for them to run away.
