The Tokusatsu Era: Starting with Orphnoch

Chapter 40 The Crisis in the Sea (1)

Haishi, Special Affairs Bureau, Medical Department.

Su Qian and Director He stood outside the medical room, quietly watching Zeng Qixia receive treatment through the glass.

Director He turned to Su Qian and asked, "Is this the user of the Delta armor that Dr. Hong mentioned?"

Su Qian nodded, a hint of helplessness on his face: "That's right. We went to her house this afternoon, but we couldn't find her. By the time the patrol report found her on the beach, she had already turned into this state."

Director He frowned and continued to press, "So, have you figured out exactly what happened?"

I've seen the on-site report; the forensic records show that several fierce battles took place on the beach, and sand left behind by two Orphnochs after their deaths was also found at the scene.

Su Qian took a deep breath and replied, "I also noticed these things when I was at the scene."

I have dispatched other members to the surrounding areas to search for any possible surveillance footage and witnesses.

Director He asked anxiously, "Have you found any useful clues?"

Su Qian shook his head, his expression somewhat grave: "So far, there has been no news."

If this continues, we can only wait for Zeng Qixia to wake up and hope she can provide more information about the mysterious Orphnoch.

After carefully inquiring about Zeng Qixia's condition from the doctor, the two turned and left, heading towards the director's office. They were now filled with concern about the current situation.

After Er arrived at the office, just as they were about to continue their conversation, Su Qian's wristwatch suddenly rang. He answered it, glanced at it, and then said to his wristwatch, "Bring the documents directly to the director's office."

He had just finished speaking when he explained to the curious Director He, "The people we sent out to search have just found some clues. I told him to bring them over here first."

A moment later, a man walked into the office and said directly, "Captain Su, Director He, during our search, we found some footage from a surveillance camera on the beach. After comparison, we only got one useful photo."

He then handed the photos in his hand to the two of them.

Su Qian and Director He took the photo and saw that it clearly showed Long Aofino holding the Delta belt as he left.

After exchanging a glance, Su Qian looked conflicted and said helplessly, "No wonder we didn't find any trace of the Delta Belt at the beach. It turns out it has already fallen into the hands of the Orphnochs."

"This is a real problem! We were already in a passive position, with the Orphnoch hiding in the shadows while we were exposed in the open."

"Now that they've acquired the Delta armor, the situation is becoming increasingly difficult to control," Director He said with a grim expression.

"The Delta armor has been captured by the enemy, further weakening our strength and making future operations even more risky."

"Besides, I can't guarantee I can defeat this Orphnoch that appeared in Haishi," Su Qian said, with a headache.

"Since that's the case, I have no choice but to report this matter to the capital. This incident has exceeded the handling capabilities of our Shanghai Special Affairs Bureau," Director He said helplessly.

Just as Director He was reporting the situation to the Special Operations Bureau of the Capital, the office door was suddenly pushed open with a loud bang.

A panicked logistics staff member rushed in, shouting anxiously, "Chief, something bad has happened! Captain Qin's communications have been cut off. We only received his distress signal, and now we can't get in touch with him at all!"

Upon hearing this news, Director He's expression changed drastically. He stood up abruptly and asked urgently, "What! Didn't Qin Xiao have no mission today? How could he be missing! What happened?"

The logistics staff replied breathlessly, "While you were at the medical department today, Orphnoch caused trouble at the suburban sports center."

Captain Qin couldn't find you, so he led Leo's cavalry squad to provide support, but suddenly all communication signals were lost!

Director He's expression turned serious, and he turned to look at Su Qian beside him.

Su Qian also frowned, nodded heavily, and said, "If I'm not mistaken, this should be Orphino's plan."

They deliberately created chaos to attract Captain Qin's attention, then cut off Captain Qin's communications, leaving them to fight alone.

Then we can wait for them to come and support Captain Qin, after which we can wipe them all out!

"Damn it! If I had known it would turn out like this, I should have reminded Qin Xiao to be more careful. Now I really regret it!" Director He muttered to himself with a look of regret.

However, he soon realized that regret was useless, so he quickly adjusted his mindset and thought of coping strategies.

After a while, he spoke again: "Although we know it's a trap, we have no choice but to forge ahead."

After all, we have very little manpower left.

After careful consideration, Su Qian continued, "Director He, I will lead the Faiz team to support Captain Qin, while you will be responsible for organizing the citizens to evacuate."

In addition, please immediately notify the surrounding military regions and have them send troops directly into the city to provide support.

We have no other choice but to fight to the death!

Director He knew the situation was urgent and allowed no room for hesitation or delay, so he decisively replied, "Okay, then I'll leave it to you, Su Qian!"

Su Qian nodded firmly, said no more nonsense, quickly assembled the FAZ team members, and left the Special Affairs Bureau without stopping, speeding towards the location of Qin Xiao's team.

Watching them leave, Director He felt heavy-hearted. He knew how difficult and dangerous this battle was, but there was nothing he could do to change the situation. All he could do was silently pray for them and hope that they would return safely.

……

The atmosphere inside the suburban sports center was extremely tense.

Centipede Orphnoch Zomo led more than twenty Orphnochs, tightly surrounding Qin Xiao and the others.

Their gazes were cold and ruthless, like a pack of hungry wolves staring at their prey.

The Leo cavalry squad was now badly wounded, each member seriously injured and no longer able to put up a fight.

Although their faces were filled with exhaustion and despair, their eyes still shone with determination.

Zhuo Mo stood in front of Qin Xiao with a mocking smile on his face. His voice was cold and grating: "I really underestimated the strength of your Leo Cavalry of the Haishi Special Operations Bureau. It actually took the sacrifice of 7 Orphnochs to trap you. However, it was all worth it."

He paused, then continued, "I wonder when your Special Operations Bureau's support will arrive? Haha, I've meticulously planned this whole thing for a long time! You can just wait to go to hell with them!"
