The Tokusatsu Era: Starting with Orphnoch

Chapter 133 The Curtain Falls

Zheng Zhongshan stood there like a statue, staring blankly in the direction where Su Qian had disappeared into the sand, as if time itself had frozen.

His heart was overwhelmed by endless regret and deep self-blame, so heavy that he could hardly breathe.

Immediately, Zheng Zhongshan's slightly trembling hands reached with difficulty towards the Kaixa phone tied to his waist.

When his fingers finally touched the phone, Zheng Zhongshan slowly took it off and deactivated his transformation.

At this moment, Zheng Zhongshan seemed to have all his strength drained away, appearing extremely weak.

Despite his exhaustion, he slowly moved to Qin Xiao's side, bent down, and carefully helped the injured and unconscious Qin Xiao up.

Then, dragging his leaden steps, he walked slowly but firmly toward the outside of the pit.

After finally reaching a relatively flat area, Zheng Zhongshan paused briefly to catch his breath before quickly conducting a preliminary examination of Qin Xiao's injuries.

After checking him over, he found that although Qin Xiao was seriously injured, he was only unconscious and appeared to be out of danger.

This result brought Zheng Zhongshan a slight sense of relief.

However, before he could fully relax, he suddenly remembered that Ma Mingzhe was also unconscious not far away.

So, he gritted his teeth, mustered the last bit of strength he had left, turned around and helped the unconscious Ma Mingzhe over.

After doing all this, Zheng Zhongshan slumped to the ground, panting heavily as he pulled out his Kaixa phone from his pocket and dialed Hong Tao's communication wristwatch with trembling fingers.

Hong Tao's anxious voice came quickly from the other end of the phone: "Hello? Is this Chongshan? How is the situation?"

Zheng Zhongshan took a deep breath and tried to keep his voice calm: "Dr. Hong, on my end... Qin Xiao was seriously injured and unconscious, so I brought him out."

"Also, Ma Mingzhe isn't feeling well, but he can still manage. Send the medical team over by helicopter as soon as possible!"

Upon hearing this, Hong Tao replied without hesitation, "Okay, hang in there, I'll make arrangements right away!"

After saying that, Hong Tao quickly hung up the call and immediately dispatched medical personnel by helicopter to rush to the scene.

At the same time, he promptly sent this important information to Director Zhong, who was directing operations on the front lines.

............................................

At that very moment, the battle situation on the main battlefield of the Harbin Special Operations Bureau took a dramatic turn!

The Special Affairs Bureau, which had been in a passive defensive posture and appeared quite dejected, was instantly transformed thanks to the rapid air and ground support from the surrounding military regions.

The attacking force led by Chen Kai (Orphnoch the Lion) was initially aggressive, but as reinforcements arrived, they gradually lost their advantage.

The Orphnochs, who were initially able to attack in an orderly manner, began to be constantly suppressed by heavy weapons, and their formation became chaotic.

Immediately afterwards, when the Air Force unleashed a barrage of missiles, the entire battlefield seemed to tremble.

The Orphnochs suffered an unprecedented blow, and their seemingly overwhelming attack crumbled instantly.

At this point, the remaining Orphnochs were no longer able to mount an effective attack.

Chen Kai could only watch helplessly as he gradually fell into a desperate situation.

However, the instinct for survival made these Orphnochs disregard Chen Kai's terrifying threat of death, and they fled in a chaotic swarm, like headless flies, in all directions around the battlefield.

Faced with this situation, Director Zhong decisively issued an order to gather all the remaining Leo cavalry and ant soldier squads in the Special Operations Bureau and dispatched them without hesitation to pursue the Orphino who were fleeing in all directions.

Meanwhile, under General Zhang's calm and decisive command, the rest of the army advanced steadily with firm steps.

Unlike the other Orphnochs, Chen Kai did not flee until the very end. Instead, he charged forward with the determination to die, heading straight for the Special Operations Bureau's command center.

Immediately, Chen Kai single-handedly destroyed several tanks and continued to advance.

However, despite Chen Kai's exceptional combat prowess, he ultimately succumbed to exhaustion and was unable to escape the military's encirclement.

The tanks gradually closed in, forming an impenetrable encirclement together with heavy firepower.

Immediately afterwards, countless shells rained down on Chen Kai, accompanied by deafening explosions and billowing smoke, and the entire battlefield was shrouded in the strong smell of gunpowder.

Under such powerful firepower, Chen Kai was trapped in a desperate situation.

As heavy bombs exploded around him, dust billowed up from the ground, and the massive shockwaves seemed to freeze the surrounding air.

A burst of flames suddenly erupted, instantly engulfing Chen Kai.

When the flames died down, Chen Kai had been beaten into sand and disappeared from the battlefield, as if he had never existed.

This fierce battle has now come to an end.

A moment later, Director Zhong organized a team to escort the casualties of the Special Operations Bureau, as well as Zheng Zhongshan and others, onto the plane. After bidding farewell to General Zhang, the plane flew towards the Special Operations Bureau's temporary base.

As the Special Operations Bureau plane gradually disappeared into the distance, only the soldiers of the military region remained, busily clearing away the ravaged battlefield, riddled with craters and traces of explosions.

..............................................

No one knows how much time has passed, but in a seemingly endless, pure white space, the King of Orphnoch, who had been keeping his eyes tightly closed, finally slowly opened his deep and mysterious eyes.

He blinked in confusion for a moment, then slowly propped himself up and began to carefully examine his surroundings.

This space is completely empty except for white; there are no superfluous decorations or items.

“You did an excellent job on this mission. As a reward, I have given your body a second evolution.”

Upon hearing this, the King of Orphnoch immediately looked in the direction of the voice and saw Zhao Hong standing not far away, one hand adjusting his glasses and the other casually hanging at his side, his gaze fixed on him.

The King of Orphnoch dared not be negligent in the slightest. He quickly turned up, half-squatted, and respectfully bowed to Zhao Hong, saying, "Thank you for your praise, my lord. Serving you is my duty. I am deeply grateful for your kindness."

Zhao Hong nodded slightly, then waved his hand and said, "Alright, you can step back now and get used to your new body."

"I have some important matters to attend to." After saying this, he turned and walked away without looking at the King of Orphnoch again.

The King of Orphnoch quickly responded, and after watching Zhao Hong's receding figure disappear from sight, he turned around and walked steadily toward the teleportation portal behind him.

"What kind of life form should be generated next?"
