Chapter 102: The True Face of the CCG

A large group of ghouls pounced forward. If it were before consuming the 【Human Gene Enhancement Fluid】, Su Xiao would inevitably find it somewhat difficult to deal with these ghouls.

But it was different now; his Stamina attribute had increased from the original 6 points to 10 points, and his endurance had risen significantly.

"They're coming. Prepare for battle."

Itsuki Marude shouted, and the other investigators took out their respective Quinque.

"Are you really okay, Quasi-Special Bai Ye?"

Itsuki Marude had no confidence in his heart and asked in a low voice.

"No problem."

Su Xiao stood at the very front of the crowd, calmly watching the ghouls in front of him.

These ghouls looked miserable; some were even injured, and others had severe injuries like severed arms or blinded eyes.

From the injuries of these ghouls, one could see that the current 24th Ward was also very dangerous for ordinary ghouls. It seemed that those primitive ghouls and ordinary ghouls were not of the same kind and would kill each other.

Where exactly did those primitive ghouls come from? There must be a hidden story.

Exploring the secrets within a derived world often meant being able to obtain a large amount of World Source.

And World Source represented attribute points when settling the derived world.

So Su Xiao was very interested in the origin of those primitive ghouls.

Now was not the time to think about this; better to repel the wave of ghouls in front of him first.

As for the idea of completely annihilating these ghouls, he had never had it. In this long and narrow tunnel, ghouls would flee once their casualties reached a certain level, unless he took the initiative to attack.

"Brothers, kill a bloody path! As long as we reach the surface, we'll be safe. The surface is full of 'food'; no need to care about the 'King's' orders."

"Kill all these investigators!"

The ghouls had fierce expressions, shouting and rushing forward, getting closer and closer to Su Xiao: ten meters, five meters, three meters.

A bright blade light flashed, and the first few ghouls fell instantly, blood splattering on the four walls of the tunnel.

A dozen investigators all took out long-range weapons to cover Su Xiao, among whom Itsuki Marude had the fiercest firepower. He held a cannon barrel as thick as an arm; this was a Quinque named "Virtual Hole," S-rank, made from Ukaku Kagune, capable of firing a type of orange-yellow crystal and exploding.

A tragic slaughter began. The ghouls wanted to break out of the 24th Ward, while the investigators had to intercept them.

Ward 1, CCG headquarters, in a room with a Japanese style.

The paper sliding door was pulled open, and a serious-looking middle-aged man walked in.

The middle-aged man wore a white suit and had a head of black hair that could cover his ears. From his demeanor and behavior, one could tell that the middle-aged man must have been in a high position for a long time.

The middle-aged man was CCG Bureau Chief Yoshitoki Washuu, who held great power in the CCG.

After Yoshitoki Washuu entered the room, he closed the sliding door tightly and knelt before an old man.

"Father, the checkpoint deep in the 24th Ward has been destroyed, and those primitive species have broken out. I have already sent Kisho Arima to handle it."

On the tatami mat on the side of the room sat an old man.

The old man had a withered face, wore a classical black kimono, and his hair and beard were all white.

The old man was named Tsuneyoshi Washuu, CCG General Chairman. His rank was higher than Yoshitoki Washuu's. General CCG affairs were handled by Yoshitoki Washuu, but important matters had to be approved by this General Chairman.

General Chairman Tsuneyoshi Washuu opened his eyes. Those eyes were dull and lifeless, yet they exuded majesty and harshness.

"What do the others in V say?"

While General Chairman Tsuneyoshi Washuu was speaking, Yoshitoki Washuu kept his head lowered, his demeanor very respectful.

"The other adults' meaning is to find a way to clean up those primitive species; after all, they are just failed products."

"Nonsense!"

Tsuneyoshi Washuu's hair and beard bristled with anger, and a soul-stirring cold light appeared in those dull, lifeless eyes.

"Do those guys have no brains, or have they been stupidly eroded by RC cells? Although the primitive species have no reason, they are disguisedly guarding the 'Source.' Without the 'Source,' we will soon become extinct. Find a way to drive the primitive species back to the deepest part of the underground. You can kill them, but you cannot kill them in large numbers."

Tsuneyoshi Washuu stared coldly at Yoshitoki Washuu, as if Yoshitoki Washuu was not his son, but just a subordinate.

"What about the casualties of the investigators?"

Yoshitoki Washuu asked tentatively.

"As long as they don't all die, it's fine. The human base is huge. As long as they are slightly cultivated and brainwashed, there will be a new batch of investigators."

Just a few words, and Tsuneyoshi Washuu's coldness and harshness were revealed without a doubt. This old man didn't care about the life or death of the investigators.

"I understand, Father. May you be well. I will take my leave."

Yoshitoki Washuu lowered his eyelids, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Wait."

Tsuneyoshi Washuu spoke suddenly.

"Has that guy Yoshimura Kuzen appeared recently?"

Mentioning Yoshimura Kuzen, a ripple appeared in General Chairman Tsuneyoshi Washuu's indifferent tone.

"Yes, Father. The cleaner has appeared, with unknown intentions. It seems to be helping Aogiri Tree, but some actions don't match."

Hearing his son's answer, Tsuneyoshi Washuu sneered.

"He's old too, actually being repelled by a newly emerged Quasi-Special. Yoshimura Kuzen was once our cleaner; he knows too many secrets. Since he dares to appear again, then eliminate him."

Hearing his father's words, Yoshitoki Washuu's face changed drastically, and he said urgently: "Father, the cleaner was once working for our V, he..."

"Shut up, get out, execute my order."

Tsuneyoshi Washuu kept a straight face, looking coldly at his son. At this moment, if Yoshitoki Washuu dared to speak again, the consequences would be very serious.

Yoshitoki Washuu's face changed repeatedly, and finally, he could only retreat with a deep voice.

Only Tsuneyoshi Washuu remained in the room. This cold ruler picked up a stack of documents, seemingly considering something.

"Quasi-Special Class investigator, orphan of a former investigator, a good pawn. Use him to handle Yoshimura Kuzen. Even if he fails, there's no loss. He's just a human."

Tsuneyoshi Washuu put down the documents in his hand and sat cross-legged with his eyes closed. On the photo in that file, it was none other than Su Xiao.

In the 24th Ward underground tunnel.

Su Xiao was holding a bucket of self-heating instant noodles, eating with relish, not caring at all about the bloody smell around him, or the pile of corpses under his butt.

As he expected, after the casualties of these two hundred-plus ghouls exceeded one-third, a phenomenon of collapse appeared.

After leaving many corpses behind, the ghouls were repelled.

The other dozen investigators also held instant noodles, but except for Itsuki Marude who could eat normally, the others didn't look very good.

Takeomi Takizawa was even retching repeatedly, and most of the instant noodles in his hand were spilled.

Now that battle could happen at any time, they had to seize the time to fill their stomachs. Combat supplies hadn't arrived yet, so they could only make do with instant noodles.

Just as Su Xiao was eating, the phone in his jacket pocket rang. This phone was issued by the CCG, and all investigators had to carry it with them.

Taking out the phone, he found that the number on the phone was labeled with a name: Yoshitoki Washuu, this was the CCG Bureau Chief.

"This is Quasi-Special Class Investigator Bai Ye. Hello, Bureau Chief."

Su Xiao was now a CCG investigator, so he had to keep up appearances.

"Quasi-Special Bai Ye, how is the situation at the 24th Ward entrance now?"

Yoshitoki Washuu's voice came over the phone. This was Su Xiao's first contact with the CCG's high-level management.

"There is no danger of being breached for the time being, but it is not far from being breached. A large number of reinforcements are needed here."

Although killing ghouls could earn a lot of CCG contribution points, Su Xiao didn't want to throw his life away for the CCG unless there were some benefits. Otherwise, after the number of attacking ghouls exceeded three hundred, Su Xiao would immediately submit Main Mission (2) and then flash away.

The situation now was very clear: the 24th Ward was full of dangers. Without benefits, Su Xiao wouldn't take risks, so he requested reinforcements immediately.

"I have already sent reinforcements, at least two hundred in number, and there will be follow-up reinforcements.

Quasi-Special Bai Ye, guarding the exit can be left to others. I have other work for you."

Hearing these words from Yoshitoki Washuu, Su Xiao's mouth curled up. He smelled the scent of a fat sheep. ===== CHAPTER 103 =====
