Tokyo: My Superpower Refreshes Every Week-Chapter 524 - 522: The Giant in the Wheelchair_1

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became tense, like a bowstring pulled taut.

Tani couldn’t see the muzzle; the light emanating from the cell phone made the surrounding darkness seem all the more profound, to the point where even their figures were submerged.

But he understood that his current situation was extremely dangerous.

The look of the doctor just now had been spine-chilling, not to mention for everyone else.

"Nock, I’m fine, look at my face, it’s completely different from the doctor’s. The problem must be with my legs. You guys need to hurry and shoot my legs, amputate them!"

In this life-or-death moment, Tani exhibited extraordinary courage and determination.

Faced with a choice between saving his life and saving his legs, he naturally chose the former.

He estimated that the problem with his legs was caused by the creature that had fallen and crushed them, and he had no idea why he was unharmed. He could only explain it as being under the protection of destiny, so sacrificing his legs meant nothing to him. In the future, history would describe him as a Giant sitting in a wheelchair!

When Nock heard Tani’s words, his expression became complex in the darkness. Considering the international situation, he ultimately decided to follow Tani’s order.

This country couldn’t afford to lose Tani’s leadership for the time being.

If they lost him, the various factions would fall into evenly matched battles. It wasn’t that they hadn’t forced Tani to step down before; with the acquiescence of the United States, Tani’s consecutive twelve-year reign had once been interrupted.

But after stepping down, surprisingly, no one inside the country was able to fill his position.

His long tenure had allowed Tani to flatten anyone who threatened his position, leaving a group of individuals who acknowledged no one else’s authority.

Nock, as a member of the Extreme Right, needed Tani as the leader to realize his political ambitions.

He made up his mind. "Use the M82A1 sniper rifle to sever the Prime Minister’s legs, and then riddle the severed legs with gunfire!"

Nock didn’t have a knife, but he had a high-caliber sniper rifle. One shot from it would be faster than a knife, ensuring Tani’s legs were severed.

BANG! BANG! Two gunshots rang out. Tani felt an excruciating tearing pain in his thighs, causing him to let out a wretched howl, followed by the RAT-TAT-TAT of gunfire.

The earth and dirt flew, and under the illumination of the cellphone’s flashlight, vivid green blood spattered out.

A mass of flesh swayed with the green grass and then quickly fell.

Nock ordered someone to pull Tani out, then used the light to examine the stumps. The blood flowing was bright red, and he saw no abnormalities.

He hurriedly signaled, "Doctor, come forward and stop the bleeding!"

"Alright."

Another doctor called out, stepped forward quickly, and crouched down. He first checked Tani’s waist and even his groin area to ensure there were no abnormalities before he started administering anesthesia, stopping the bleeding, and bandaging the wounds.

This series of procedures left Tani drenched in sweat, his complexion turning extremely pale.

Nock knelt down, his expression filled with concern as he said, "Prime Minister, are you alright?"

Tani wished he could eliminate Nock, but given the current situation, he forced a smile and praised, "You did a great job. Without you, I would have ended up like that doctor."

"It was my duty."

Nock breathed a sigh of relief. His biggest fear was that the Prime Minister would hold a grudge against him for what had just happened. As long as the Prime Minister understood his good intentions, there would be no problem.

Of course, to be cautious, Nock still chose not to carry the Prime Minister himself. Instead, he waved someone over. "You, come here. Carefully carry the Prime Minister."

"Yes," the soldier responded.

With the doctor’s assistance, Tani was carefully placed on the soldier’s back. Because his legs had just been bandaged, the soldier had to hold him around the waist.

Another soldier had to help support him to avoid causing Tani further injury.

Even needing assistance for such a simple matter made Tani feel as if his dignity was being trampled. He had to take deep breaths to shift his focus and asked, "Has the helicopter not arrived yet?"

Nock answered truthfully, "Prime Minister, there was a bit of an accident. The helicopters and fighter jets sent by the military were destroyed by drones and missiles launched by Iran, Saudi, Egypt, and other countries.

This forest is under their surveillance, and even the assault teams launched from the road were bombed by drones and missiles.

The United States has asked us not to let anyone near this place now, to avoid escalating the tense situation."

Hearing Nock’s words, Tani understood why. It was nothing more than a fear that if they entered the forest and found something, they would keep it for themselves.

Due to such mutual distrust, no one could enter the forest before an agreement was made, including the United States.

Even if they sent people in at this time, they would be bombarded by drones and missiles.

Allies from Europe wouldn’t offer any support.

When it came to the interests of various nations, only those countries in Africa and Latin America with little influence would be unable to interfere with what was happening here.

Tani’s complexion turned a ghastly shade as he asked, "How’s the situation outside?"

"It’s tricky. The neighboring countries are all heeding Saudi’s declaration of a holy war, and massive armies are mobilizing at the borders. I’ve arranged people to defend the periphery."

Nock’s voice held a touch of bitterness.

The current situation was beyond his expectations. In his mind, it was not yet possible for such a large-scale war to take place. They had ample time to train the conscripted reservists and coordinate with the U.S. military factions who longed for war, thus ensuring their victory.

The appearance of the forest threw all plans into disarray.

The creatures and conditions contained within the forest from the Different World were enough to drive the leaders of various countries to madness.

Tani’s complexion grew increasingly worse, possibly due to excessive blood loss, making him feel somewhat dizzy and disoriented.

With the nation at a critical juncture of survival or extinction, Tani realized this and suddenly felt a strange sense of excitement.

Only by reversing such a situation could he leave a significant mark in the history books.

"Bring me the phone. I need to communicate with the United States."

"Yes."

Nock nodded and handed him the phone.

Tani took the phone and dialed the number for Air Force One.

After a brief series of tones, the call was quickly connected. The voice of the Secretary of State sounded relieved, yet also held a hint of regret.

"Prime Minister, it’s really good that you’re alright."

"Mr. Secretary of State, I’ve sustained serious injuries and need a helicopter sent to pick me up. I hope you can communicate with all parties involved."

Tani tried to secure special treatment for himself.

Across the ocean, as the sun set over Langley Airport, the Secretary of State sat by a window, tapping his fingers gently on the desk.

His facial expression was cold, but his tone was gentle. "Prime Minister, I believe this matter is beyond my ability to handle. Just stabilizing this situation has already exhausted us.

To send more people into the forest would be like throwing fire into an oil refinery.

No one will agree to this. I hope that you can set aside your personal safety and prioritize national security."

This statement made Tani want to curse, but he was helpless. He changed his approach. "If that’s the case, then I’ll leave the nation’s security in your hands, Mr. Secretary of State."

"Rest assured."

The Secretary of State replied with certainty, "We will definitely be able to keep things stable. Until the situation is resolved, I hope you find a place to hold out for help. It’s better not to wander around.

There are some peculiar creatures in the forest."

As the Secretary of State spoke, he glanced at the computer screen in front of him, which showed a young girl with shoulder-length dark brown hair walking through the woods.

She was a popular live-streamer.

At a time when all countries were avoiding sending official personnel, some non-official individuals naturally had the right to enter.

For example, these live-streamers were still welcome, as they could help them quickly understand the environment inside the forest.

It was ironic how all nations hesitated to act, unwilling to let others get ahead. In the end, a greedy talent agency profited, their impromptu live stream becoming the main channel for the outside world to learn about the forest.

Of course, the Secretary of State didn’t want to dampen this company’s enthusiasm. He was even tipping the brave young girl to give her the courage to continue exploring that forest, digging for secrets on their behalf.

Behind an ornate iron gate, a familiar two-story building appeared before Aozawa’s eyes.

Two sleek sports cars were parked uncovered in the courtyard.

Aozawa glanced at them, then turned toward the main entrance. He entered the mansion without stepping into the entryway, and the Shadow under his feet stretched forward as three Shadow Soldiers emerged from it.

They took the meat and vegetables from his hands and placed his phone back in the bedroom.

Aozawa closed the door behind him.

The two Shadow Soldiers who had deposited the groceries completed their task and returned, merging back into his Shadow.

Aozawa used his Element Replacement ability to transform himself into an invisible breeze. The next moment, using Global Travel, his vision zoomed upward, and a blue planet came into view.

Various red dots represented different nations.

Aozawa chose Jerusalem.

In less than a second, the insubstantial breeze touched down on foreign soil, and the view shifted from bright to dim.

The dense foliage and the dim night cloaked the interior of the forest in darkness, like being in a bedroom without lights at one in the morning.

With only the naked eye, it was impossible to see the surroundings clearly.

Aozawa utilized Shadow Emperor, merging himself with the darkness.

Then, his Catalyst sensing ability activated, allowing him to survey the scene within a one-kilometer radius.

Scenes began to form in his mind.

He saw many people perched high in the trees, dozens of meters above the ground, too scared to descend. Only a few individuals were on the ground below.

But the oppressive darkness and unfamiliar environment made them prefer to band together, praying for rescue, rather than seeking a way out on their own.

In this silence, some strange creatures were crawling through the forest.

Aozawa noticed a lone person walking. Was she actually live-streaming? Even though there was no network around.

As this thought crossed his mind, another idea suddenly formed. He could use Fate Weaving to play his ’game’ and, at the same time, rescue the stragglers trapped inside.
