Chapter 249 Strange Shinjuku District
In the real world.
All the guards advanced at full speed and encountered no resistance at all in the suburbs of Shinjuku District, which made many people wonder if the Tanaka Group had given up resistance.
The combat command center asked all personnel to increase vigilance and conduct a comprehensive investigation of the enemy situation in the suburbs of Shinjuku District.
Twelve o'clock noon.
The main force arrived in downtown Shinjuku first.
At 12:15 noon, the remaining four teams also arrived at the edge of Shinjuku city.
The whole city was quiet.
The prosperous scene of the past is no longer there, but there are no broken walls or ruins either. The tall buildings are still standing, but there are fewer people coming and going on the streets.
The emptier the city, the more frightened everyone felt. They looked around, holding their weapons tightly and remaining on high alert the entire time.
13:10 PM
The Tokyo Operations Command issued an order to continue advancing.
The main force of 10,000 people, under the cover of armored vehicles, marched along the main road of Shinjuku District towards the Tanaka Building, which is also the core of the Tanaka Group.
The remaining four teams were stationed on the streets on both sides of the main road to ensure the safety of the main force's flanks.
The fifth squad, where Zhang Hao is stationed.
All members of the Chunshang Society remained silent and followed at the end of the guard.
Zhang Hao also sent out his thoughts, but kept a distance that was neither too far nor too close, exploring the nearby residential buildings to avoid being ambushed by the Tanaka Group.
The fifth team doesn’t know yet that because of Zhang Hao’s presence, the probability of their group being ambushed has been greatly reduced.
The tracks of the armored vehicle rubbed against the ground, making a clicking sound.
The guards following the armored vehicle were like a long dragon, and some of them were talking loudly.
As the guards moved deeper, the scenes on both sides of the street finally changed.
All the shops were closed, and some display cabinets had broken glass, with shards scattered all over the floor.
The once prosperous tourist attraction now appears dilapidated and deserted.
However, this was only a week after the Tanaka Group occupied Shinjuku!
What on earth does the Tanaka Group want to do?
Everyone's heart was filled with doubts.
Suddenly there was a loud noise and everyone felt as if they were facing a great enemy. They stuck to the armored vehicle, dodged to the sides of the street, and stuck close to the wall.
The team members in front also saw the situation clearly.
There was a white-haired old man, standing by the window of a residential building next to the street.
He leaned out and shakily pushed the potted plant on the windowsill toward the street .
The potted plant fell rapidly, hit the street, and then broke into pieces, making the same noise as before.
Under normal circumstances, this is definitely a case of throwing objects from a high place and the person would be arrested and criticized and educated.
But now, obviously no one cares about the old man doing this, and they just want to know the reason why the old man did this.
This was the first resident the guards had encountered since entering the city.
Although he was an old man who looked like he was about to die.
The captain of the fifth team ordered to remain on guard on the spot, and then sent someone to bring the old man down from downstairs.
The reason why he didn't go down in person was because he felt it would be too dangerous to go up to the residential building in person where the situation was unclear.
If this old man was just a bait, and the man in black robes was lying in ambush in the building, wouldn't I be asking for my head?
Fortunately, it was obvious that the squad leader was too cautious.
A few minutes later, the team members had carried the old man out of the residential building using a wheelchair.
It seems that the old man already has a leg disease.
When the squad leader saw the old man, he felt it necessary to show the guard's noble image of saving people from suffering.
He leaned forward, trying to look friendly.
"Don't worry, old man! We are here to save you! We will definitely wipe out the Tanaka Group completely!"
The old man didn't care about the squad leader's solemn promise. His eyes were shining as he stared at the supplies on the guard's waist.
"I'm hungry, so hungry! I'm thirsty! So thirsty!" He screamed, and the sound he made was like a door bolt without oil, extremely unpleasant.
The squad leader immediately asked his men to take out the marching food and handed over the water bottle.
The old man sat in a wheelchair, grabbed the food in his hands, and wolfed it down...
Everyone waited quietly for the old man to eat, and remained vigilant at all times.
Fortunately, Zhang Hao did not find any trace of the man in black robe around him, but there were dozens of people of the same age as the old man in the surrounding residential buildings.
The guards soon discovered them. The old men hid behind the curtains and looked towards the road.
At this time, the old man was full and burped in his wheelchair, stroking his stomach comfortably.
Zhang Hao noticed that there was a cane next to the old man's wheelchair, his clothes gave off a stale smell, and his hair was a mess like a chicken coop.
But his mental state was good, and his face looked rosy after eating.
The captain of the fifth team asked amiably, "Old man, can you tell us what happened here?"
The sloppy old man was full and full of energy. He cursed: "That bastard Tanaka Kame! First he kidnapped my son! Two days ago he kidnapped my daughter-in-law! Poor old man like me! I have no one to rely on at home, and my legs and feet are not convenient! I can only wait to die at home!"
The sloppy old man kept chattering, wishing he could curse all eighteen generations of the Tanaka Group's ancestors.
The captain of the fifth team was secretly delighted. It seemed that the Tianzhong Group did not have the support of the people. That meant that the only obstacles to their future progress would come from the men in black robes.
The fifth team leader asked again: "Old man, do you know where the others went? Where did the people on the street go?"
The old man shouted angrily: "I don't know! How can I, a disabled person, care about such things! I only know that I have been hungry for several days! Take me away from this damn place immediately! Find my daughter-in-law too! Let her take care of me!"
The saliva even sprayed on the faces of people around.
The captain of the fifth team held back his anger in embarrassment. It seemed that this old man was a lazy guy who didn't even know what was going on around him. Why were his son and daughter-in-law taken away?
He saw the military reporters still pointing cameras at them and tried hard to suppress the urge to get angry.
He stood up, straightened his uniform, and said righteously: "Don't worry, old man, we are here to help you. Shinjuku District will soon be back in the arms of the government!"
The sloppy old man was still talking about his daughter-in-law. The captain of the fifth team smiled and asked his men to put the old man in the car and send him out of Shinjuku District.
The adjutant whispered, "I just sent people to check the nearby residential buildings. There was no sign of the man in black robes. Instead, we found many old men and women living alone. What do you think?"
The captain of the fifth squad was suddenly annoyed for no reason and frowned, saying, "Don't worry about them. How can we fight a war with a bunch of old men and women?
But it's a bit strange, did you notice? "
The adjutant nodded and responded : "There is not a single adult man...it's as if they all disappeared..."
The captain of the fifth team looked at his watch and said, "This is indeed unusual. Let's cheer up and keep moving forward!"
He wanted to see what was going on in Shinjuku District!
