Hunter x Hunter: Tonight, Germain joins the hunt

Chapter 276 Subsequent Development of the Palace

Netero made a few more calls before putting his phone down. This time it was finally over.

At this time, Zeno and Silva said goodbye to Germain and Netero, as they no longer had any reason to stay.

Sheba took out his horn and blew a few blasts into the night sky.

The horn sounded long and the dragon-bird monster responded with a cry before falling from the sky.

Zeno and his son Shiba leaped up and landed steadily on its back.

"What a wonderful decisive battle. It seems our trip was not in vain."

Zeno put his hands behind his back, looked at the two people on the ground, and smiled calmly.

"By the way, President Netero, please come to Kukulu Mountain when you have time. My grandfather will be very happy."

Netero put his hands on his hips, smiled and nodded.

Maha Zoldyck was one of the few of his old friends who was still alive, so they could indeed catch up when they had time.

Geno turned to Germain again.

"German, welcome to Kukulu Mountain as well. This time will be different from last time. We will treat you well."

"When the time comes, come live in the Zoldyck family's ancestral home, and I'll introduce my grandchildren to you."

Germain also nodded.

Then, the dragon-bird monster let out a strange cry, and carried Zeno and his son, Shiba, circling up, flew into the sky, and disappeared.

Netero and Germain walked towards the palace.

They did not walk very fast, mainly because they had contacted Mo Laowu and Nuobu and knew that everything was safe over there.

Soon, halfway through the journey, they met Mo Laowu and Merewong who had originally planned to rush over to intercept Xiao Yapufu.

However, Owl Yapfu was flying after all, and he set off early.

And they were walking, so they came here after everything was over.

When they met Germain and Netero, Mo Laowu and Merleon were both excited.

It was unbelievable that Germain had defeated the Ant King and the three guards.

But some of it was seen by their own eyes, and some of it was certified by Netero himself, so it must be true.

It's amazing.

For both of them, the decisive battle that night was so thrilling.

Without Germain and President Netero, there's no telling what the outcome would have been.

Perhaps it was a disastrous defeat for the human side.

Facing the greatest contributor to the Chimera Ant crusade, German, Mo Laowu solemnly took off his sunglasses, gave German a big hug, and was reluctant to let go for a long time.

"Thank you, Germain. If it weren't for you, I would have let Owl Yapf go, and Nakulu and Xiu Tuo would have been defeated by Youpi. We, the master and the disciple, would have been blamed."

He moved closer and whispered in Germain's ear.

"Thank you for preventing President Netero from dying together with the Ant King. You also helped Nob to cheer up and awaken the human consciousness of Pom, who had transformed into a Chimera Ant."

"Thank you. We will never forget your kindness. I believe that everyone who loves President Netero will remember your name."

Mo Laowu patted Germann's back twice before letting go.

Merleon cried with joy, muttering something like "I finally succeeded in my revenge", and it took him a long time to come back to his senses.

After walking back for a while, everyone returned to the vicinity of the palace and found that the human formation that was originally lined up outside the palace had disappeared.

There was only a group of people in front of me.

Nob, Pom, Nakulu, Ikarugo and three other strange chimera ants.

It turned out that after Owl Yapf's death, his resentment was absorbed by Germain's "Hunter Badge", and the hypnosis of the residents of the Republic of East Goto was completely ended, and they woke up one after another.

They were dazed and panicked, not knowing what to do. They had no idea why they were standing there or how long they had been standing there. They just felt their legs going weak.

Nob and others told some white lies.

They pretended to be subordinates of General Digo and Minister Bizefu, and persuaded them to leave and not stay in this place.

The Chimera Ant crisis has been basically resolved, but we still need to be on the safe side and avoid crowds.

Although everyone was confused, they still obeyed the orders as usual, left here, returned to their homes, and did not dare to go out.

Afterwards, Nob and the others have been waiting until now, and seeing German and the others return, there is another round of joyful gathering and celebration.

Only those who actually participated in the experience knew the hardships and thrills of that night.

Afterwards, Nakulu introduced the three relatively unfamiliar Chimera Ants to Germain, Netero and Mo Laowu.

One chimera ant looks like a lobster and is called Brobuta, and the other chimera ant looks like a wolf and is called Wilfin.

They all lost to the strong-willed Ikarugo in various ways and withdrew from the final battle.

After confirming that the Ant King and his three guards were all killed, Brobuta and Wilfin did not resist but surrendered to Nob and others.

The last female Chimera Ant wearing a rabbit doll hat is called Hina. She has been slacking off in this final battle.

During the decisive battle, she had planned to escape, but she ran into Nakulu and Ikarugo head-on as soon as she drove the truck out of the underground and onto the ground, and was caught by them.

Fortunately, Hina surrendered quickly enough, and had a connection with the Chimera Ant Suppression Team, so she was not eliminated.

This fate was because she had taken in a maid before, and that maid happened to be the sister of Korudo who surrendered to humans some time ago. Strictly speaking, they were biological siblings before they were reincarnated as Chimera Ants.

Korudo recalled his past life and found his sister who was Sina's maid.

At that time, Korudo had not yet surrendered to humans, so Sina treated him as one of her own and released him readily.

The brother and sister have been arranged to go to the rear area, waiting to return to the NGL autonomous region to reunite with their mother.

Of course, whether their mothers and nearby residents can accept their current appearance and start their lives again is another matter.

Because of this incident, and the fact that Hina did not cause any obstruction or harm to the members of the Chimera Ant Expedition Team in the final battle, she was also treated leniently.

Back in the palace, there was a group of living humans on the devastated battlefield.

Among them were Minister Bizefu, who was tied up and surrendered to the Chimera Ants, and the woman he imprisoned in the underground world.

Of course, the women were freed, but they gathered together and still looked at Bizefu in fear.

Even though Bi Zefu was tied up, they were still afraid that he would do something to them.

Bizefu pretended to be unconscious and tied up more than once to test the women's "loyalty" to him.

If they resisted or escaped, they would be punished by Bi Zefu.

The most horrifying ending, of course, is being dragged to the ground and used as food for Chimera Ants.

Over time, no woman dared to resist him.

Even now, they were still worried that this might be another trick of Bi Zefu, and that he would stand up with a hideous smile the next moment?

Pom was able to enter the palace only by mixing in with this group of women.

Although she was soon killed by the Chimera Ants and transformed and reincarnated, she still had a certain understanding of the plight of these women.

She really wanted to say a few words of comfort, but, firstly, she was not that kind of person, and secondly, she was now a chimera ant, and these women were more afraid of her than of Bizefu.

Bi Zefu was tied up and thrown on the ground, with a ball gag stuffed in his mouth.

Seeing everyone returning at this time, he moved like a loach, making a humming sound, trying to attract attention.

Everyone did notice him, but no one paid any attention to him.

Thus, in the silent early morning, only Bi Zefu's sobbing could be heard.

After a while, someone finally spoke. It was Wilfin, one of the surrendered Chimera Ants.

Wilfin, in wolf form, sat cross-legged on the ground, glancing at Netero and Germain from time to time.

He could see that these two people had the highest status here.

However, Germain looked too young, so Wilfin was inclined to believe that Netero was the leader of the group. In fact, he was not wrong.

"Speaking of which, how will we be treated?"

Wilfin looked at Netero and asked the questions that were on the minds of the Chimera Ants present, including Pom, who now had a complicated identity.

Netero looked at Wilfin, then glanced at the Chimera Ants.

"How do you want to be treated?"

"How could I possibly know such a thing?"

Wilfin scratched his fur in annoyance, then pointed at the eggs on the trees.

"These humans are beyond saving. They will also become Chimera Ants, but they have not yet fully hatched."

He pointed to the ground again.

"Countless meatballs made by humans are stored throughout the palace, especially in the largest freezer downstairs."

"Most of us were once human, and it was the invasion of the chimera ants that changed our lives."

"In the initial confusion, we did very cruel things to our fellow human beings, and now quite a few people have remembered their own memories of being human."

"Are we humans or Chimera Ants? Are we righteous or evil?"

"To be honest, I really don't know how we will be treated."

The composition of the chimera ants present is really too complicated.

There are tonight’s heroes, losers who just surrendered, and companions who were captured and transformed into Chimera Ants. What should we do with them?
Everyone frowned.

Netero pursed his lips and turned to look at Germain.

"Germain, what do you think?"

Germain thought for a moment, then pointed at Bizefu.

"Someone has to take responsibility for what happened tonight. Let's make him the scapegoat. We'll say that he was planning to launch a coup against General Digo, which led to everything that happened now."

"That way, most of the world can be fooled."

When Bizefu heard this, his eyes widened and he looked at Germain in disbelief.

Then he twisted his body even more violently, but the ball gag made him spit all over the place, so he couldn't utter a complete sentence.

Germain ignored Bizef and looked at the Chimera Ants.

"As for you...then those who want to start over, start over, those who want to retreat from the world, retreat, those who want to atone for their sins, atone for their sins. This is considered as some explanation to those who know about it."
