Chapter 2 - Chapter 2 I Want to Save the World

"Get down, wake up, what's the password to your car?!"

Shun pulled the female driver, dressed in a red professional suit, out of the car. She was a beauty, like Momoe Yamaguchi.

Especially with her eyes closed, her brows slightly furrowed.

There was a sense of hazy youthfulness about her.

"Who… who are you?"

The female driver woke up with a start, seeing the armed stranger, and was so scared she almost screamed.

"I advise you not to."

Shun held his rifle, signaling her to be quiet. "Let's get acquainted. I'm Shun. What's your name?"

"Zoya."

"Good, Zoya, calm down first. I need this car. Tell me the operating password for it."

Zoya looked at the red car parked by the roadside and quickly said, "54737. You can take it. I won't call the police."

"It's useless even if you call the police."

Shun threw the rocket launcher he had on his back inside, then shoved in the machine gun, and simultaneously entered the password to restart.

"Alright, Miss Zoya, I apologize for my rudeness just now. Can you tell me where the Central Signal Tower is?"

"If you don't mind, would you mind getting in the car and showing me the way?"

Shun extended his hand with gentlemanly grace, like a prince on a BMW encountering Cinderella.

Zoya was indeed in a trance for a moment.

She quickly realized that this scoundrel had stolen her car and now wanted her to lead the way. Was he going too far?

"What are you going to the Central Signal Tower for?"

Zoya, sitting in the passenger seat, asked doubtfully. Perhaps the impact from the collision earlier still made her feel a bit dizzy.

"I'm going to save the world, to be the sole trailblazer!"

Shun said with righteous indignation.

The Central Signal Tower is the largest signal tower on Iffish Island, not only covering the entire satellite colony but also connecting Earth and other colonies. He had to act fast.

Shun looked out the car window at the dimming sunlight.

A sense of heaviness also settled in his heart.

He had to be fast.

Outside the Central Signal Tower, things were also chaotic. Shun even saw people hanging the flag of the Principality of Zeon.

A red flag with black and white cross stripes.

Very much in the style of an Austrian art student.

"They've already surrendered?"

Seeing this scene, Shun didn't know what to say. Zoya was already asleep in the passenger seat.

Looking at her beautiful profile.

Shun felt that this place shouldn't be destroyed like this, so he reached for the rocket launcher beside him.

Pushing open the car door, Shun got out, carrying the rocket launcher, and aimed at the crowd installing the Principality of Zeon flag.

After a moment of consideration.

Shun raised his scope, aimed at the flag, and directly pulled the trigger. Whoosh!

A scorching jet of exhaust spewed from the rocket launcher.

The next second.

The newly hung flag of the Principality of Zeon was directly destroyed by the explosion, and the blast wave swept over.

Shun's clothes fluttered in the blast wave.

Screams of terror erupted from the crowd below. Shun dropped the rocket launcher in his hand, took another one from the car, and also pulled out the machine gun.

"What happened?"

The explosion just now woke Zoya up in the car. She looked at the exploding and burning area ahead, her eyes full of shock. She completely didn't understand what had happened.

"Go back to sleep."

Shun held the machine gun and walked towards the Central Signal Tower with a grim expression, his gaze fixed on the glowing numbers on the screen.

[Worldline activated… Change rate 00.019%]

It's working, as long as he can get in.

Shun suddenly thought of Zoya in the car. Such a beautiful woman, from a male animal's perspective.

Shun really wanted to have a brief romance with her.

It was nothing like love at first sight.

He knew it was simply because he might die, and he wanted to complete his lineage mission. It was a physiological urge.

But it wasn't necessary.

Because the thought that even such beautiful women would be annihilated, and indeed all life on Iffish Island would perish.

Any desire turned into despair.

"She's a good woman," Shun chuckled.

Inside the Central Signal Tower building.

Someone spotted Shun walking in with a machine gun and had just opened his mouth to ask, "Who are you?"

Shun raised his machine gun and started firing, but he didn't spray the crowd. Instead, he shot at the glass wall in front of him.

Under the barrage of bullets, the glass wall shattered with a crackle, and the people in the lobby screamed and scattered.

"Get me the news station! I want a live broadcast to the entire universe! If you don't meet my demands, I'll kill every person I see! Don't stop me!"

After stating his demands, Shun, holding his machine gun, quickly walked forward, his cold eyes devoid of emotion.

At this moment, he only wanted to fight for victory!

Security personnel, dressed in their uniforms, came running after hearing the gunshots. As soon as they emerged, Shun shot them down.

The machine gun's rate of fire was extremely fast.

Its penetration was also strong; the equipment worn by the security personnel was directly pierced through the chest by armor-piercing bullets, and they fell into a pool of blood.

"I warned you."

Shun didn't stop for a second, walking quickly forward with his machine gun. Outside, police sirens began to wail.

Someone had called the police.

"It's wartime already, and you're still so dedicated?" Shun grinned, swapping his machine gun for the rocket launcher slung on his back.

He turned and fired directly at the lobby entrance.

Bang!

A scorching jet of exhaust flew out of the lobby, followed by a violent explosion. The window glass was shattered.

Even the high-strength hardened glass was covered in white cracks.

Taking advantage of the explosion's impact.

Shun quickly ran upstairs.

Anyone who dared to approach him or try to stop him was mowed down by the machine gun in his hand.

Shun left a trail of bloody footprints with almost every step.

He kicked open the door to the news studio.

"Ah ah ah!!!"

The female anchor, who was broadcasting the news, saw Shun walk in with a machine gun and was so scared that her face turned pale, and she fell to the ground.

"Don't move! Don't say I didn't warn you!"

Shun pointed his gun at the equipment operators. Immediately, they all raised their hands.

One of them was a half-beat slow.

Shun's gun was pointed at him, scaring the man so much that he fell directly off his chair. "No, no, no, I surrender!!!"

"Who is in charge here? Come out!"

Shun shouted loudly.

The studio was silent for a moment, and everyone's gaze turned to a bald, bespectacled middle-aged man.

"You! Come here. What's your name?"

Shun pointed his gun at him. Sweat visibly beaded on the middle-aged man's forehead, and he quickly said, "My name is Fujishita."

"Good, Fujishita, tell me, can this place contact Earth or other satellite colony signal towers?"

"Sig… signal?"

Fujishita adjusted his glasses in surprise and quickly said, "Yes, our broadcast news directly connects to those signal areas. Everyone can see it."

"That's good. Interrupt with an emergency news broadcast that the entire universe can see. You must do it! I'm really saving you!"

Shun felt like crying.

It was so difficult.

But Fujishita wanted to cry more. He was going to retire next month. Was he going to die on duty this month?

Under Shun's urging.

Fujishita had people link the signal channels, then start broadcasting the emergency news, and contact other signal towers for retransmission.

"I beg you, don't shoot. My daughter is about to give birth, and I'm going to be a grandfather. I still want to see the child. Please…"

Fujishita pleaded, almost weeping.

Shun laughed when he heard this. "Ancestor, we're all going to die. You still want to see your grandchild. Do you even know what's happening?!"

Fortunately, everything was ready. The studio was prepared, and the microphone test was complete.

Shun, holding his machine gun, walked over with heavy steps.

He turned to look at the staff opposite him and casually dropped the machine gun on the ground. "Whether you believe it or not, I'm saving you, and I'm saving myself. I hope we all survive."

"Help me, and you'll be helping yourselves!"

Shun said with a serious voice, stepping towards the news desk. The staff members exchanged glances upon hearing these words.

Fujishita looked at the machine gun lying on the ground.

He silently nodded. A staff member next to him pulled the fader in the studio, starting the emergency news broadcast.

On the large screen nearby, all the signal towers connecting Earth and the satellite colonies were broadcasting live, and the emergency news was inserted into all of them.

"I know you're curious who I am. I can tell you, I am an intelligence officer from the Principality of Zeon."

Shun stood before the microphone, making a shocking statement.

This was the script he had prepared on the way. The words he spoke had to have a certain impact.

Otherwise, he would only have this one chance.

There would be no second chance, so he had to use fear tactics to wake everyone up!

The staff in the studio were all shocked.

Including the staff in the Central Signal Tower lobby, in various offices, and department executives.

Even people outside.

They all watched the emergency news that was forcibly inserted into their broadcasts.

"What's going on? How is a Principality of Zeon intelligence officer at the signal tower? Have we already fallen?"

"Impossible. How did he get in?"

In various parts of Iffish Island, all sorts of questions arose from the public's discussions.

But they were more curious about what this Principality of Zeon intelligence officer was going to say. Was he going to persuade them to surrender?

"I'm not here to persuade you to surrender. I hope that from now on, we can all survive. I can clearly tell you that the Principality of Zeon intends to annihilate all life on Iffish Island!"

"Yes! You heard correctly, all life, not just humans, but also the animals, plants, and even insects here will not survive."

"They will not attack here, even though it would only take half a day to conquer it! What they want is to turn the entire Iffish Island into a weapon. This is the Principality of Zeon's highest secret mission!"

"They will detach Iffish Island from its orbit, push it into an orbit closer to Earth, and then let Iffish Island fall to Earth, targeting the Earth Federation's headquarters, Jaburo!"

"There is a thousand meters of bedrock there, but if Iffish Island falls, even ten thousand meters would be completely flattened!"
