Orders strictly enforced!
This spoke of the Ant Soldier units.
As troops that had undergone rigorous training, specializing in fighting alien insects, being able to do this was the most basic of qualities.
Moreover, Tadokoro Shuichi was a good commander.
Although the Ant Soldiers under his command were not as good as the special elite forces directly under headquarters, they were not to be trifled with by other branches.
As long as the alien insects they faced did not molt, their combat effectiveness would be absolutely one hundred and twenty percent online.
"Ah..."
The appearance of the alien insect was like a depth charge, immediately igniting the entire scene.
Near this street.
Pedestrians strolling by, busy commuters, all screamed and fled.
This was human nature! Facing the appearance of terrifying non-human creatures like alien insects, being able to remain calm and watch from the sidelines would be an abnormal reaction for an ordinary person, wouldn't it?
Even Hojo-san from the Department of Counter-Lifeform Measures, when facing an Unknown, deployed his signature move: Cast Off!
But Misaki Yuzuki was different.
She trained herself frequently and could play the role of a combatant when necessary.
"Squeak squeak..."
The alien insect larva let out an incredibly eerie cry.
Its sharp claws were about to pierce her heart.
As Misaki Yuzuki turned, she retreated rapidly.
From her pocket, she took out the Zect Machete she had prepared earlier and fired continuously at the alien insect.
Bang bang bang!
The bullets effectively hindered the alien insect's movements.
Then, the Ant Soldier units belonging to the branch all surrounded it.
But this alien insect was not fighting alone.
At this moment, several more larvae jumped out from somewhere.
Immediately, they bared their fangs and claws, attacking the Ant Soldiers.
No further explanation was needed.
They were already enemies.
The thoughts of both sides were probably...
If they are not of our kind, their hearts must be different!
Dada da da...
The sabre machine guns held by the Ant Soldiers spewed flames, and the dense barrage of bullets swept towards the alien insects as if they were free of charge.
However, the scene, though shocking to behold, was actually just that.
The damage the Ant Soldiers inflicted on the alien insects was truly limited.
A figure remained hidden in the shadows.
Observing from the shadows.jpg!
"Tsk, the attack methods of these Ant Soldiers are still not good enough," Chen Ran muttered to himself.
Their attacks were too scattered.
They looked imposing...
But in reality, they were paper tigers.
Such an overwhelming offensive would be fine if the opponent were human, but alien insects, as alien creatures, were known for their strangeness. Their skin's inherent defense far exceeded human imagination. What the Ant Soldiers needed to do was simple: concentrate their attacks on a single point.
Concentrated power can pierce hard stones!
Of course, that's easier said than done.
It required an extremely strong command of the sabre machine gun, which most people could not achieve.
After a prolonged rain of bullets, only two larvae were finally destroyed.
However, three remained.
Even the larva acting as the 'squad leader' began to emit heat, and thick cocoons started to fall off layer by layer.
"Not good, it's molting!" Kagami shouted.
They knew.
Once an alien insect molted, it would cause a devastating blow to their Ant Soldier squad.
They had suffered greatly from this last time at the pier warehouse.
They had even lost many brothers because of it.
Kagami truly regarded the people in the branch as brothers and sisters.
Even if they were Ant Soldiers he had never met.
"Hoo... Retreat, C squad maintain suppressive fire, deploy smoke grenades and flashbangs," Tadokoro Shuichi said with some helplessness.
This was the limitation of not having the Kamen Rider system.
Originally, headquarters had assigned Kabuto and an Appropriate Person to their branch.
But due to some unforeseen circumstances, Kabuto did not belong to the branch at this time.
Thinking about it, it was really quite disheartening.
The alien insect eventually completed its molt.
Judging by its appearance, the main body was a flea.
After completing its molt, it immediately launched a counterattack.
Instantly, Clock Up and it vanished from its spot, then sent a wave of Ant Soldiers flying.
The attack was too fast.
It didn't even allow for a reaction.
Misaki Yuzuki was directing the retreat of the remaining Ant Soldier units, and in that instant, a green larva with a huge cocoon on its back appeared beside her, raising its sharp claws high, about to tear her in half.
Such actions were not considered cruel by the alien insects.
Seeing that she could not dodge, Misaki Yuzuki instinctively closed her eyes.
However, the anticipated pain did not come.
She carefully opened her eyes.
A handsome figure appeared before her.
He was wearing a simple tracksuit, but the plain clothes could not conceal his handsomeness.
"Born beautiful, difficult to abandon," perhaps this was what it meant.
She saw Chen Ran holding a strange sword in his hand.
The silver blade exuded a sharp, cold glint.
It looked incredibly easy as he blocked the alien insect's attack.
Then, he charged up and slashed.
Like cutting melons and vegetables, he directly cut the larva into green fireworks, which vanished into nothingness.
This person who suddenly appeared was naturally Chen Ran.
When that alien insect molted,
He rushed out.
And performed a "hero saves the beauty" move.
Misaki Yuzuki couldn't help but be stunned.
"You are...?"
She appeared very surprised.
He had actually eliminated an alien insect with his bare hands. Such strength was simply too immense!
One had to know.
Even their Zect, a unit specialized in fighting alien insects, had to pay a great price to eliminate alien insects during normal operations.
This was not because they didn't train hard.
It was... the gap was too large.
Alien insects had tough hides.
And even when fully armed, if they were hit by an alien insect, they would lose half their lives.
This was an inherent disparity.
"Me? A traveler, and perhaps a Kamen Rider passing by," Chen Ran said calmly.
As he spoke, he walked towards the alien insects.
His smooth and effortless elimination of the alien insect had clearly attracted their attention.
The adult flea and the remaining larvae all attacked him.
And this was exactly what Chen Ran wanted.
It was easier to deal with them when they were gathered together!
The adult flea clearly intended to strike first.
With a leap, it stirred up countless dense pebbles, which flew towards Chen Ran.
He did not have any long-range energy attack capabilities.
However, the pebbles in a high-speed throwing state were not weak in power.
For Chen Ran's mortal flesh, dealing with them would be a minor task...
However, he had clearly underestimated Chen Ran.
He inserted a prepared card into the rider system he had ready at his waist.
"Kamen Ride... Decade!"
A black shadow encircled and overlapped beside him.
The bottom film was embedded into his head.
At the same time, this was not all; a touch of pink seemed to stain the largely black body.
The adult flea's attacks clearly missed.
From a cloud of smoke, Decade's proud figure calmly emerged.
He held the Ride Booker Sword in his right hand.
Facing the alien insects, he moved forward.
As his sword swung,
In an instant, the remaining larvae were destroyed.
To prevent these insects from molting further, Chen Ran chose the easiest method of elimination.
He would obtain a substance called 'Hope Particles' by defeating the alien insects that appeared at this time.
After integrating into himself, it would bring benefits related to evolution!
But whether the alien insect molted or not, the effect was the same.
Since that was the case, why bother with unnecessary trouble?
Chen Ran stated, that... would cost extra!
"Kamen Ride..."
"Sasword!"
"Clock Up!"
After dealing with the unmolted larvae, Chen Ran didn't hesitate and directly used the Sword of Beezlebub card.
Then he entered the super-high-speed domain.
Everything around seemed to freeze.
The only ones that could move, besides Decade, were the adult flea.
The adult flea, inheriting the jumping ability of Earth fleas, had excellent leaping power.
With a single leap, it reached fifty meters high.
It raised its right arm, its incredibly sharp poison needle, and thrust it towards Decade.
Injecting the poison needle, infusing the toxin.
In the adult flea's eyes, as long as it dealt with the matter at hand,
Defeating Decade would be effortless!
That toxin was enough to pierce armor and completely penetrate Chen Ran's body, saving even an immortal would be difficult.
Decade's pair of emerald green eyes were exceptionally sharp.
As if he had already seen through the adult flea's intentions.
With a slight sideways movement, he dodged its attack.
Then, with a sweeping roundhouse kick, he heavily slammed it away...
