77: Chapter 77: US troops stationed on the island and the island nation’s public security forces clash.Deep in the mountains of Chiba Prefecture, the morning mist had yet to disperse.

The humid air carried the fresh scent of grass and trees, but it could not mask the faint, lingering scent of blood deep within the forest.

An abandoned wooden hut was hidden in the dense woods; the roof tiles were long gone, and the walls were covered in vines.

Inside, Akai Shuichi leaned against the corner of the wall, his face as pale as paper.

The wound on his left arm had been crudely bandaged, and seeping blood stained the gauze.

Yesterday, when he found Akai Mary unconscious in the ruins of the pier, he had exhausted almost all his strength.

His mother’s breathing was weak, and there was a gruesome wound on her forehead; he had to leave this place of trouble immediately.

Not daring to delay, he dragged his injured body to take Akai Mary to the safe house where Sera Masumi was hiding.

Only after watching them board the earliest private flight to the United States did his hanging heart finally settle.

As for himself, he chose the opposite direction—the deep mountains of Chiba Prefecture.

This place was inaccessible and an excellent spot to lie low for a while.

Akai Shuichi slowly opened his eyes; his throat was dry and painful.

He struggled to stand up, intending to go outside to find some clean water, but the moment he rose, he heard footsteps coming from afar.

It wasn’t one person, but a group, their footsteps chaotic and carrying a sense of deliberate caution.

Akai Shuichi’s gaze turned sharp instantly.

He quickly hid behind the door, gripping the military dagger he had picked up nearby.

Outside the wooden hut, a group of college students with hiking backpacks were looking around excitedly.

”I heard there’s a bunker left over from World War II here, let’s look for it!” said a bespectacled boy, holding a tattered map.

”Be careful, the news said recently that the whole country is hunting for a terrorist named Akai Shuichi. I saw the portrait; he looks really fierce.”

Another girl pulled her companion’s sleeve, looking somewhat afraid.

”What are you afraid of? In this deep forest, how could he possibly come here?”

A boy waved his hand dismissively, his gaze inadvertently sweeping over the abandoned wooden hut.

”Hey, there’s a house there, shall we go in and take a look?”

Curious, the group walked towards the wooden hut.

Just as they reached the entrance, they saw a figure flash out from inside, moving as fast as the wind.

”Who?!” The bespectacled boy stepped back in fear.

Akai Shuichi saw it was a group of students, and the killing intent in his eyes diminished slightly, but he remained vigilant.

His face had not yet fully de-swelled, and with his hat brim deliberately lowered, he wasn’t immediately recognized.

”Just passing through.” Akai Shuichi’s voice was hoarse, and he turned to leave as soon as he spoke.

”Wait!”

The girl suddenly pointed at his face, her face turning pale.

”You, you look like that wanted criminal! Akai Shuichi!”

Akai Shuichi felt a jolt in his heart, and killing intent surged in his eyes, but in the end, he couldn’t bring himself to act.

He turned and wanted to leave.

But he saw the bespectacled boy had already taken out his phone, his fingers pressing the screen rapidly.

”Call the police quickly!” one of the boys in the group shouted.

Akai Shuichi’s eyes turned cold.

Just as he was about to step forward to stop them, the sound of sirens suddenly came from afar.

Not one, but a dozen vehicles, approaching from afar, clearly heading for this location.

He knew he had been exposed.

Meanwhile, in the Public Security secret communication channel, Kazami Yuya looked at the location information on the screen, a flash of excitement in his eyes:

”Found him! Chiba Prefecture deep mountains, coordinates 35.6° N, 140.1° E! Move out immediately!”

A dozen Public Security police cars, disguised as civilian vehicles, immediately started up and sped towards the deep mountains.

This time, they deployed their most elite special forces, determined to capture Akai Shuichi alive.

In the FBI’s temporary stronghold, James also received news from an informant—Public Security was gathering in the Chiba Prefecture mountains, targeting Akai Shuichi.

”Damn it!” James slammed the table.

”How could they find Shuichi so quickly?”

”Boss, what do we do?” An Agent asked, ”The Public Security people must have brought heavy weapons. If we go over now, it’ll be a head-on collision.”
