Chapter 332 This is really bad news
To deal with the external enemy (Gastrula), the official is prepared to maintain the status quo for the time being; to deal with the internal enemy (the Son of the Curse), the official is prepared to carry out brutal suppression.

To use the words of a bald man enshrined in a certain shrine, that is: before fighting against the outside world, we must first make peace with the inside.

Although in reality, they did not regard the Cursed Children as internal enemies, but as gastrea.

Although not yet.

But once the erosion rate exceeds 50.00%, it doesn’t have to be.

Drugs that slow the rate of erosion?

That's just a delay, not a stop, and it's not a complete cure.

Research in this area is progressing slowly and is basically at the laboratory stage. It is not yet known how long it will take to completely solve the problem of the Cursed Child, let alone how many resources it will require.

Most people hate and discriminate against the Cursed Children.

The top management only cares about their own interests.

It is obvious: investing in drug research and development in this area may not necessarily lead to success, and even if it succeeds, it will not bring much profit.

So only a few people are willing to study it.

However, due to limited time, limited energy, and limited resources, we have not been able to make much progress at all.

If we can't solve this problem, we can't change the view that "the cursed child is a gastrea".

Since we don't regard them as human beings, we naturally won't feel sad for their experiences, and will even applaud them.

The blockade crackdown on the Cursed Children has the support of a majority of residents.

Nowadays, regardless of whether they are cursed children or not, little girls no longer dare to go out by themselves. They must be accompanied by their parents, otherwise they may encounter bad things.

Umi Aya, who is in charge of intelligence, encountered such a situation.

Of course it was not that she was bullied, but she saw a little girl being bullied.

She stepped in and saved the man.

While thanking her, the little girl's parents continued to curse the Cursed Child, believing that it was those "gastrulas" that brought bad luck to their child.

In addition, he also brought back the information provided by Tendo Mugen.

Tendo Kikunochei had to go to other areas for business, and there were various internal and external reasons, so the Self-Defense Forces still adopted a defensive strategy.

The specific manifestation is "blockade".

"It will take about 20 days or a month before they change their strategy."

These are the original words of Tendo Kisara.

This method was adopted to reduce losses. They wanted to starve all the children of the curse to death, at least until they had no strength to resist.

Whether it’s 20 days or a month, it’s not a lot of time.

But with proper planning, the organizational structure of the "resistance army" can be set up.

Tendo Kikunoshi and others are not in a hurry to encircle and suppress them, which also has something to do with this.

They didn't know that someone was helping the Children of the Curse. They thought that the little girls were a mess and a mob, and they also lacked food, weapons and ammunition.

How can we fight with such beings?

The flow of materials to peripheral areas is strictly prohibited.

Let the police shoot provocatively and continue to consume the starter's ammunition reserves. It won't be long before those children of the curse will be in a situation where they have guns but no ammunition.

And it is impossible for the Cursed Son to get foreign aid.

Even if there are people or organizations willing to help the Children of the Curse, how can they deliver supplies to the outer areas in the face of an integrated air and ground blockade?

Take another path?
The outside of the giant stone monument is the territory of the gasterozoans. Large-scale transportation of supplies will definitely alarm the gasterozoans, and the most likely outcome will be that the entire army, including people and supplies, will be annihilated.

It is precisely because of these realities that senior executives in the Tokyo region are not in a hurry.

However, their "not in a hurry" is an opportunity for the little girls.

What children lack is time.

The Initiator needs time to reorganize and train, and the Cursed Child needs time to recuperate.

If only they had half a year, or even three months, they could complete basic training and gain more advantages.

It's a pity that I don't have that much time.The conservative estimate is half a month, and the most optimistic estimate is only one month.

How far they can achieve it in this limited time is entirely up to them.

Bai Ye will not care too much and will only provide them with daily necessities and education.

Misaka Mikoto and the others were happy to help.

At Uiharu Shiri's request, Bai Ye still helped them get various communication equipment including communication satellites.

Education and military training are gradually getting back on track.

After these days of fighting, there is a problem that has to be solved: except for a few starters who still have some remaining, the ammunition carried by other starters has been completely consumed.

Faced with this situation, Enju Aihara and Natsuki Chishou, who had only been studying for a few days, had no choice but to formulate a battle plan and put it into action.

The three girls also quickly divided the work: Senju Natsuo led the commando team to carry out the sneak attack, Tina led the team to be responsible for support, and Aihara Enju led the reserve team to wait for the opportunity.

Xiao Hui was responsible for organizing the manpower. Once the commando team captured the arsenal, he would take people there to move back all the weapons and ammunition stored there.

They also brought the specific action plan to the underground shelter for Bai Ye to review.

But Bai Ye didn't look.

"Your future depends on yourself, so don't always expect me to help."

"..."

The two little girls didn't know what to say.

Misaka Mikoto, who happened to come to Byakuya, helped them out by saying, "Why don't you help check and fill in the gaps? This is about the lives of many little girls."

"..."

This time it was Bai Ye's turn to be silent.

So, Misaka Mikoto is still too young.

After all, she is just a teenage girl.

In some people's eyes, she is just a little girl.

"Resistance is not a treat. Resistance is a violent movement that requires blood and sacrifice. If you don't have this kind of consciousness, it is better to continue to be a compliant citizen."

"But……"

Misaka Mikoto wanted to say something else, but Byakuya waved her hand to calm her down.

Then he continued: "If you don't experience wind and rain, how can you see a rainbow? Today I can help them check and fix the leaks, but what about tomorrow? What about the day after tomorrow? We will eventually leave. Who can escort them then?"

"..."

Then it was Misaka Mikoto's turn to be silent again.

They are not from this world and will eventually leave. These little girls will eventually have to face the ups and downs of the cruel world on their own.

Misaka Mikoto, who wanted to understand this, could only sigh helplessly.

Bai Ye touched her head to express comfort.

Aihara Enju and Qianju Natsuo looked at each other.

There was no follow-up to the previous conversation.

But now it was certain: Byakuya was indeed planning to leave, and he would take Misaka Mikoto and the others with him.

This is really bad news.

"All right."

Bai Ye opened his mouth to regain their attention: "I won't read the battle plan. Think about it for yourselves. If it doesn't work, find more people to discuss it and see if there is any room for improvement, especially those involved in the operation. , if you have no objection, just follow the plan."

"……we know."

The two little girls said no more.

You have to rely on everyone to rely on you, but you still have to rely on yourself after all.
