"The fact that you were acting with us has already been seen by those Endlave pilots. Although their units were destroyed by Wang Xiaoming, their recordings are still saved on their pilot terminals. So the entire GHQ already knows that you were acting with us. Even if you say you weren't with us, it's useless. GHQ has already identified you as being with us."
"No way! Seriously?"
Ji looked at Jiang Shenya in shock, wanting to get a negative answer from him.
"Unfortunately, Ji, there's no way for you to go back now. You've already become a terrorist in the eyes of that Mr. Xiaoming."
Sakura Manji is a very important piece for Jiang Shenya. Although he hasn't obtained the Void Genome or the King's Power yet, he still needs to make use of him.
"Damn it, why? Why did it turn out like this? I didn't even do anything!"
The devastated Sakura Manji hugged his head and knelt on the ground.
Jiang Shenya nodded in satisfaction at Sakura Manji's broken state, then ordered Yuzuriha Inori.
"Inori, please take care of Ji."
"Okay."
Yuzuriha Inori obeyed Jiang Shenya's order and began to comfort Sakura Manji. The comfort of a beautiful girl immediately worked, and Sakura Manji quickly calmed down. He then joined Funeral Parlor, just like Jiang Shenya said. Since he couldn't go back anyway, he could at least survive in Funeral Parlor, especially with Yuzuriha Inori by his side.
Sakura Manji joined Funeral Parlor in a way that was different from the original story, and Wang Xiaoming also joined an organization after leaving Funeral Parlor.
That organization is GHQ!
689. General Yang's Family
In the original storyline, GHQ could be considered a villain, and a very unlucky one at that. They were constantly played around by the protagonist's group in the early stages, and later they were easily manipulated by Jiang Shenya. They were just tools from beginning to end.
In essence, there are many bad elements within this organization, but that doesn't stop Wang Xiaoming from joining.
Wang Xiaoming's mission in coming to this world is to eliminate the virus, and the virus in this world is the Apocalypse Virus, a type of external virus that is artificially controlled.
If Wang Xiaoming wants to get rid of the virus in this world, he only needs to collect all the Apocalypse Viruses and then take them away in one go.
As for other things, there's nothing good in this world. The Void Genome is one, perhaps. It allows Wang Xiaoming to extract other people's Voids, but unfortunately, this thing is almost useless to Wang Xiaoming, because the Void is only powerful in this world. Its strength becomes average outside of this world.
Moreover, the strength of the Void's power is generally not very high. The main thing is that the Void's abilities are flashy. Each person's inner personality is different, which leads to them possessing different Voids, and thus different abilities. These abilities may be very useful in some small matters.
"You dare to come here! Looks like you've come to die willingly!"
At the gate of GHQ's Tokyo headquarters, a group of soldiers pointed their rifles at Wang Xiaoming. Among the soldiers, there was a guy who looked like an officer pointing at Wang Xiaoming and cursing.
Wang Xiaoming calmly looked at him with his arms crossed.
"Are you in charge here?"
"Huh?"
The person being asked was stunned.
"Looks like you're not in charge. Since you're not in charge, then you can step aside, because you're not qualified to talk to me."
"Bastard! What did you say!"
The squad leader who was belittled by Wang Xiaoming angrily wanted to attack.
"John, stop!"
A voice suddenly called him to stop from behind.
"Colonel!"
The man called John immediately stopped when he heard the voice behind him. Behind him, a man in military uniform was looking at him coldly.
"Go down. This is none of your business."
"But, Colonel, this guy is..."
"Don't make me say it a second time."
"This... is..."
The angry young captain gritted his teeth and lowered his head to leave. The remaining soldiers didn't move, still pointing their guns at Wang Xiaoming.
"Looks like you can say something of importance."
"I suppose so. I'm the colonel of the defense force in this base. You can call me Jon."
"Colonel Jon, I understand."
Wang Xiaoming looked at the blonde man in military uniform with a straight posture in front of him and nodded with a smile.
"I'm Wang Xiaoming."
"Wang Xiaoming? This name..."
"It's not a fake name. As for the rest, I can't say."
Wang Xiaoming spread his hands.
"So, can we go in now?"
"Of course. Since Mr. Xiaoming wants to come in, of course he can come in."
The colonel named Jon turned around and made way, smiling and gesturing for Wang Xiaoming to enter.
"General Yang is already waiting for you inside."
"That's truly an honor."
Wang Xiaoming nodded with a smile, then walked into the base's gate. Jon watched Wang Xiaoming walk into the base's gate, then waved his hand at the soldiers. The soldiers immediately put away their guns, followed behind Jon, and then escorted Wang Xiaoming into the base together.
GHQ's base is very large. In terms of area, it's at least nine stadiums big, and the interior also has upper-level and underground sections. This base can be said to be a considerable engineering feat.
GHQ has put a lot of effort into Japan. After all, such a large base requires a terrifying amount of funding to build. If enough funding isn't invested, it's impossible to operate such a large thing with so many people.
And the United States certainly isn't willing to spend money on this.
Then there's only one possible source of funding here, and that's from Japan.
The Japanese government now exists in name only. GHQ controls it from behind. Japan only has police and a certain degree of autonomy. Military resources and major national policies are all decided by GHQ. In short, it's a colony, but compared to the neighboring 11th district, which is also a colony, it sounds a little better.
Wang Xiaoming proceeded along the main passage all the way, and only after walking for five minutes did he enter the main building of the base. At the entrance of the main building, there was a new checkpoint.
However, this time Jon quickly stepped forward, stated his identity, and then swiped a card to open the door for Wang Xiaoming.
A group of people escorted Wang Xiaoming into the building, and then began to take the elevator upstairs. The elevator went all the way up to the top floor of the entire central building before stopping.
"Please follow me. General Yang is already waiting for you."
Led by Jon and the soldiers behind him, Wang Xiaoming arrived at a huge white iron door.
Jon, just like when he was downstairs, directly swiped his card. After swiping, the metal door opened, and Wang Xiaoming saw an enormous open-plan office with floor-to-ceiling windows. Inside, there was only a huge desk, with a chair facing away from the door.
"General Yang, Mr. Wang Xiaoming has arrived."
Jon entered the office and saluted the chair respectfully.
"Thank you, Jon."
The chair slowly turned around, and a middle-aged man with blond hair appeared before Wang Xiaoming. He leaned back in the chair, looking at Wang Xiaoming with a smile.
"Welcome, Mr. Wang Xiaoming."
"You must be General Yang."
"That's right, I am the supreme authority of this base. You can call me Brigadier General Yang."
Brigadier General Yang, the supreme commander of this base, it was no problem to call him an authority figure.
Just as the two finished introducing themselves, a voice suddenly came from outside.
"Where is he? Where is he!?"
The office door was opened again, and a blond young man barged in from outside.
"Father, I heard that guy came. Where is he?"
The young man who came in directly asked Brigadier General Yang, but after asking, he didn't ask anymore, because he had already seen Wang Xiaoming.
"I've never seen you before. You must be that guy from last night!"
"And who is this?"
Wang Xiaoming asked curiously, he really didn't recognize this guy.
"Daryl Yang, our GHQ unit's ace pilot, and also my son."
Brigadier General Yang introduced with a smile.
"Last night, the Ultimate Howl he was piloting was cut down by your sword, so...."
"Oh~~ I understand, so he's here to make trouble for me?"
"That's right, let's duel!"
The Brigadier General Yang's son pointed his right hand at Wang Xiaoming and shouted excitedly.
690. Tentative Battle
"Adjust the agility to the maximum! Remove any excess armor that can be removed!"
"But Lieutenant Yang, if we do that, there will be almost no defense. We won't be able to defend against armor-piercing rounds at all."
"I don't need it. Adjust the weight to the lightest and the agility to the maximum. I don't need any armor! As long as the speed is fast enough!"
Inside the Ultimate Howl hangar at GHQ headquarters, Daryl was constantly giving orders to the maintenance personnel, who felt very helpless about this.
As a combat weapon, the Ultimate Howl had considered many environments and combat situations, such as the enemy also possessing the same machine, so armor was definitely essential.
In this case, the speed of the machine would be suppressed to a certain extent, but now Daryl actually said that he wanted to remove all the heavy armor.
"What do you guys know? The person I'm dueling isn't some Ultimate Howl. That guy is a monster with extreme speed! I want the same speed as him, not to be slowly beaten!"
"In short, hurry up and adjust it for me. Remove all the excess armor within ten minutes, and then adjust the agility to the maximum!"
After leaving these words, Daryl looked up at the observation room above, showed a bloodthirsty smile, and turned to walk towards the cockpit area.
Inside the observation room, Brigadier General Yang looked at Wang Xiaoming with a helpless expression.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Xiaoming, my son has brought you trouble."
"Ever since he was easily defeated by Mr. Xiaoming last night, he has been complaining, saying he wanted to fight you again, but at that time we couldn't find you. When we learned that you took the initiative to come to our door, Daryl kept clamoring to fight you."
"It seems that Lieutenant Yang is an easily emotional young man."
Wang Xiaoming also replied with a smile.
"Moreover, it's just a fight. Since Lieutenant Yang wants to, then I'll play with him. It's just right, so you don't have to be so troubled, right?"
"That would be great."
Brigadier General Yang laughed happily. The so-called trouble was all he said on purpose. Daryl's complaints didn't matter to him at all. After all, in their family, filial piety between father and son was famous. It would be good enough if Daryl wasn't shot to death for complaining.
These words were deliberately said to Wang Xiaoming in order to test Wang Xiaoming's ability.
Wang Xiaoming's initiative to join was something he didn't expect. As for Wang Xiaoming wiping out a squad of his Ultimate Howls, what did that matter? Those were just unmanned machines, and no one died. He could just buy a new squad when the time came. As for who would be responsible for the money, of course, it would be the Japanese financial groups.
After all, the GHQ garrison's money had to be paid by Japan. Japan was very familiar with this. Originally, the Japanese government paid for the US garrison, but now it became the Japanese financial groups paying for the GHQ joint garrison. There was no difference in essence, right?
So, it was just the consumption of some old and broken equipment. There was no conflict between everyone, right?
Wang Xiaoming's arrival was something Brigadier General Yang couldn't be happier about. Since GHQ could research the Void Genome internally, then they must have done corresponding tests. The mortality rate of the Void Genome was terrifyingly high. To be precise, no one has succeeded so far.
Because this thing is used to choose a King. Only those chosen by Mana Ouma can become King. Even if others are injected with the Void Genome, there is a high probability that they will die directly because they cannot withstand the power. The reason why Shu Ouma was able to survive was not because he worked hard, but simply because he was the protagonist of destiny!
But now, Wang Xiaoming has succeeded. Wang Xiaoming not only survived, but also gained superpowers.
In the Ultimate Howl's helmet recording, Brigadier General Yang clearly saw a sword appearing out of thin air in Wang Xiaoming's hand, and then he directly waved a ray of light, and the Ultimate Howl was dismantled.
He was very interested in this kind of power. After Wang Xiaoming took the initiative to come over, he was thinking about how to test Wang Xiaoming. It just so happened that Daryl came to his door. Daryl was also his most outstanding Ultimate Howl pilot, so let him try it.
After waiting for a while, a soldier came up from the preparation room below and saluted Brigadier General Yang at the door.
"Report, General, Lieutenant Daryl is ready."
"Oh? He's ready?"
Brigadier General Yang looked down at the preparation room below through the glass window. Inside the preparation room, an Ultimate Howl that had been stripped of all its armor was already moving. Because a lot of armor had been removed, this Ultimate Howl now looked very thin, leaving only the main frame and some combat components.
But for humans, this thing is still a very terrifying weapon.
"Mr. Xiaoming, I'll have to trouble you next."
