Anime Crossover: Post-Apocalyptic Survival, My Stand is the World

Meanwhile, the woman opposite her was still at her peak, brimming with energy.

Moreover, she has the home-field advantage of a territory that she has been cultivating for who knows how long, filled with countless traps, and an endless undead army that she can summon at any time.

In a situation where the enemy is strong and we are weak, and the other side has an absolute advantage in terrain, to charge headlong into battle is not called bravery, it's called foolishness.

.. ...... ....

Su Chen is not the kind of shonen manga protagonist who gets carried away by passion and atmosphere.

He was the calmest and most ruthless hunter.

What a qualified hunter has in abundance is patience and the decisiveness to wait for the best opportunity.

He picked up the walkie-talkie, and the girls' voices, filled with worry and confusion, came through the channel.

Clearly, they were also bewildered by his sudden "strategic retreat".

He had no explanation.

They started contacting the other two fire support teams that were still carrying out cleanup missions on the periphery according to the original plan.

"Yukiono, Shiyu."

"Yes." Yukino responded calmly from the other end of the communicator, as if she had already guessed that he would give further instructions.

"Mai, Hui."

"Yes." Mai's voice carried a hint of worry, but even more so, trust.

"All tasks are temporarily suspended."

His voice was calm, yet filled with undeniable decisiveness, instantly drowning out all the noise in the channel.

"Everyone, immediately assemble at my location."

"it's time……"

He raised his head and glanced through the broken window at the distant clock tower that stood like the horns of a demon in the night. A cold killing intent flashed in his dark eyes.

"This boring game of hide-and-seek is over." (End)

Chapter 148 Convergence and the Final Plan

Half an hour later.

Temporary frontline command post.

When Mai Sakurajima and Megumi Kato appeared at the door with two "new companions" whose art style was clearly different from their own, the Blank siblings, who had been watching the battle remotely through the "Skynet" system, were both stunned for a moment.

"I go."

Kong looked at the tall, slender, and dignified woman with a genuine Japanese sword at her waist, her whole being as calm as an autumn lake.

She glanced again at the punk girl carrying a huge electric guitar, exuding an aura of "rock and roll" and "optimism," and couldn't help but mutter a complaint to Su Chen over the communication channel.

"Su Chen, you're something else. We've been working so hard analyzing intelligence for you up front, and you've been so 'foolish'—while you're out there on a reconnaissance mission, you've secretly 'pulled' back two SSR characters with completely different art styles?"

"..."

Su Chen ignored his sour complaints and simply introduced the two parties.

"Saeko Busujima, Michiru Hyodo."

He pointed to Yukino and Utaha, who were sitting upright like two chiefs of staff.

"They are our rear-line strategists."

Then, he pointed to Saeko and Michiru, who seemed a little reserved because of their sudden arrival at this high-tech command center.

"These two are our new family members."

Family...?

Both Saeko Busujima and Michiru Hyodo paused slightly upon hearing this word.

A barely perceptible hint of emotion flickered in Saeko's usually wary and sharp purple eyes.

Michiru, on the other hand, made no attempt to hide it, revealing a warm smile that was even brighter than the sunshine.

……

"Alright, let's stop with the pleasantries."

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Yukino Yukinoshita, the absolute queen of the base, quickly brought the meeting back on track.

She projected a 3D structural diagram, which she and Shiyu had worked on overnight and which was filled with dense data streams and tactical markings, onto the huge holographic screen in the center of the conference room.

That was the complete structural diagram of the Capital Hall Bell Tower, as well as the trap distribution map they deduced based on all the intelligence Su Chen had previously sent back.

“Based on Su Chenjun’s ‘stirring up the enemy’ just now,” Yukino pushed up her frameless glasses and analyzed in her clear, logical voice, “…”

"We can now be fairly certain of all of that woman's conventional defensive measures."

Using a laser pointer, she circled several areas emitting an ominous red glow on the three-dimensional diagram of the clock tower.

"The lobby on the first floor is a 'self-destructing clone' trap zone, which we've named 'Welcome Fireworks.' Its features include a wide coverage area and strong instantaneous explosive power, enough to instantly kill any conventional unit attempting to force its way in."

"The second to tenth floors are the 'Shadow Legion' harassment zone, and her troop gathering point. The number of clones is estimated to be between five hundred and one thousand. Although they are not strong individually, they are fearless and can be continuously replenished from the shadows."

"Above the eleventh floor is her 'core territory.' Our 'Skynet' system will be subject to the strongest spacetime turbulence interference there, and all conventional detection methods will be completely ineffective. It will be a pure 'information black zone.'"

“And her throne…” She precisely positioned the point of light at the very top of the clock tower, behind the enormous clock face.

"Right here. At an altitude of 240 meters. It is the highest point of the entire battlefield and the core source of her power."

"..."

Kasumigaoka Utaha, who was standing to the side, took over the conversation, her voice filled with an unprecedented solemnity.

“But knowing this isn’t enough.” She crossed her arms, and her usually playful, wine-red eyes were now filled with an unfathomable seriousness.

"The most terrifying and intractable thing about that woman is her 'future vision'."

“Any conventional frontal attack plan, whether it’s a stealthy raid, a forced demolition, or a simultaneous attack from multiple points, will be anticipated by her in advance. ... In her eyes, all our tactics are nothing more than a boring rehearsal with an outcome she has already seen through.”

She looked at Su Chen and said, word by word, "We need a plan that even she couldn't have predicted."

"..."

"..."

A suffocating silence fell over the conference room.

A plan that cannot be "predicted"?

How can this be?

That was a power akin to that of a god, an absolute crushing force at the level of causality.

Can human intelligence truly counteract this kind of extra-standard "cheat code"?

Just when everyone was at a loss, and even the air began to be filled with an atmosphere of despair.

Su Chen smiled.

"Who said no?"

"Ok?"

All eyes instantly turned to him, like a drowning person grasping at the last straw.

Su Chen slowly stood up and walked to the huge electronic map.

He looked at the Metropolitan Government Clock Tower, marked with countless red warning boxes, resembling the final boss's lair, and a maniacal smile spread across his face.

"A 3.2 is the simplest and most brutal."

"She could absolutely foresee the final plan, but she was absolutely powerless to stop it."

He slowly turned around and looked at the unprecedented special forces team of beautiful girls that he had personally assembled.

Looking into Yukino and Utaha's eyes, which were filled with a thirst for knowledge.

Looking at Mai and Ena's eyes filled with trust.

Looking at Saeko and Michiru's expressions, which were filled with curiosity and fighting spirit.

Looking at their beautiful faces, filled with trust and expectation.

he knows.

The moment of the final battle has arrived.

"listen."

His voice was calm, yet it was filled with a power that could ignite the passion of everyone.

"This is our final battle plan."

Chapter 149 The Hunt Begins Again!

after an hour.

The night grew completely deep.

A strange, dark red crescent moon, like a congealed blood clot, hung high in the deathly still night sky of Shinjuku, radiating an ominous light.

Like the single eye of a demon god, it coldly gazes down upon the earth, adding a touch of eerie and tragic beauty to this ruined city that has long since become a ghost town.

The Bell Tower of the Capital Hall.

This Gothic building, resembling two devil horns pointing to the sky, appeared even more sinister and terrifying under the blood-red moonlight, like a Tower of Babel leading to hell.

Beneath this Demon King's castle, several petite figures, yet filled with determination and killing intent, silently completed their tactical encirclement from different directions, just like top-tier hunters.

Every movement was as precise as a textbook, without uttering a single unnecessary sound.

……

East side, main entrance.

In front of the ruins where Su Chen had recently blasted a huge hole, two figures with completely different styles were already in place.

Saeko Busujima held her long sword, which gleamed coldly under the blood moon, her expression calm and serene.

She was like a peerless sword sheathed. Although she appeared calm and composed, the invisible, sharp sword intent emanating from her body was enough to make any demon that dared to approach her tremble.

Beside her, Michiru Hyodo held her beloved electric guitar, "Fanta-kun," tightly in her arms.

Unlike Saeko, she didn't exude a restrained murderous aura; instead, her face even carried a hint of excited smile, as if she were about to step onto the stage of a concert for tens of thousands of people.

But her fingertips, constantly dancing on the strings, were silently telling a story—she couldn't wait to use her vibrant rock and roll spirit to completely awaken this lifeless ghost town.

Main attack and interference.

Swords and Songs.

In position.

……

West side, back door.

In that area filled with unknown traps and heavy shadows, a figure that seemed to have completely merged with the darkness, Kato Megumi, had silently slipped into the corner of the clock tower.

Her presence was compressed to the extreme, as if she had become a motionless shadow, a speck of dust that did not reflect light.

She was like a most patient sapper, quietly waiting for the signal to begin the general offensive, and then silently dismantling all the deadly mines for the main force to advance.

Stealth and breaking through traps.

In position.

……

South side, the highest point.

On the rooftop of an office building facing the clock tower, Mai Sakurajima is holding a military-grade infrared telescope, providing everyone with a god-like view of the battlefield.

Everyone is already in place.

They were like a giant spider web woven from bonds and trust, quietly unfolding in the dark night, waiting for the one and only spider—Su Chen—to issue the final hunting order.
