Infinite: Starting from Resident Evil

They even said they didn't plan to hold it on the ground.

With media coverage, the fighters finally learned where the competition would be held.

On a huge airship.

It has to be said that Rugal is a man who really knows how to spend money. Last time he blew up an aircraft carrier, and this time he got an airship. He's just incredibly extravagant.

However, Shen Ye had some doubts. Could the airship really withstand the power of a fighter? What if it was beaten to pieces?

But considering the advanced technology in this world, perhaps Rugal has a solution, since he would never allow any unexpected situations to occur during the match.

With this in mind, Shen Ye felt a little relieved and began to wait for the day of the competition to arrive.

Several days passed quickly, and the day before the competition arrived.

And this day, as usual, is the fighter's unveiling ceremony.

However, this time, apart from reporters and fighters, no one else was invited to the ceremony.

……

Chapter 744! Blue Mary

(Yagami Tsukihime)

(Hibiscus mutabilis)

(Blue Mary)

……

The unveiling ceremony was held at a hotel near a port in Tokyo, where some fighters who had traveled from afar had already checked in a few days earlier.

So when Shen Ye and his group arrived, there were already several teams chatting in the reception hall.

These teams are: Fatal Fury Team, New Ikari Team, Gold Team, and South Town Special Invitation Team.

Of these teams, Shen Ye was most interested in the South Town Special Invitation Team.

At this moment, two members of this team were facing off against three members of the Fatal Fury team.

Seeing Shen Ye looking in that direction, Joan walked over and whispered to him, "Shen, the one in the suit is the current boss of South Town, Geese Howard, and the henchman next to him is Billy, whom we fought with in Paris last time."

"Only two? We're still one short!" Shen Ye said, looking around.

Before he could even take in his surroundings, he felt something rubbing against his leg.

Looking down, Shen Ye was immediately stunned; it was actually a dog.

"What an adorable dog!" Kagura Chizuru also saw the dog and bent down to hug it, but unexpectedly, the dog bared its teeth at her without any politeness, which scared her so much that she quickly stood up straight and hid behind Shen Ye.

Then Kagura Chizuru muttered behind Shen Ye, "This dog isn't cute at all."

Kagura Maki patted her younger sister's head, then frowned and said, "Why are there dogs in the hotel..."

"Someone must have brought her in!" Shen Ye said, his gaze falling on a blonde beauty who was anxiously searching for something in the crowd.

“Blue Mary! I didn’t expect her to be the last member of the South Town Special Invitation Team. I remember Geese was her enemy.”

Thinking to himself, Shen Ye bent down and picked up the little dog that was sitting cross-legged beside him.

The little dog that had just been baring its teeth at Chizuru Kagura was now obediently letting him hold it, and even stuck out its tongue to lick the back of his hand.

"Why should I?!" Seeing this, Kagura Chizuru was greatly shocked, which made the women next to her chuckle.

At the same time, Mary, whose face was full of anxiety, saw Shen Ye holding her in his arms and her eyes lit up. She then ran over quickly.

"Antonio, don't wander around like that, I've been looking for you everywhere."

Antonio is the dog's name, but Mary usually only calls him Anton, unless she's particularly angry, in which case she'll use his full name.

Upon hearing his master's voice, Antonio shrank back in Shen Ye's arms and made whimpering sounds.

At this moment, Mary had already run up to Shen Ye. Shorter than the Kagura sisters, she looked up at Shen Ye and said politely, "Sir, did you find it? Thank you so much. This dog is mine, so could you give it back to me?"

"Really? How can you prove it?" Although several women were watching, Shen Ye still couldn't resist teasing Mary.

“Sir, this is too easy.” Mary clearly didn’t recognize Shen Ye; her attention was entirely on the dog, and she addressed him as “sir” repeatedly.

“Look over here, Anton, come to me,” Mary called Antonio’s name and clapped her hands at him.

Unfortunately, Antonio probably didn't want to be scolded by his owner, so he only glanced at her before covering his eyes with his two front paws.

Mary was stunned. She said in disbelief, "You... Antonio, what are you doing? I am your master!"

"It seems you are not its owner, madam," Shen Ye said with a regretful tone.

“Nonsense, I am.” Mary glared at him angrily, then rolled up her sleeves and picked up the puppy.

The puppy, once picked up, immediately showed a pitiful expression, but dared not resist at all.

“Look, Anton is my dog.” Mary glanced at Shen Ye triumphantly, then hugged Antonio in her arms and muttered, “Anton, don’t run around, or you’ll get caught and made into dog meat hot pot.”

Upon hearing this, Shen Ye kindly reminded her, "That's impossible, ma'am, it's too thin."

“That makes sense, it doesn’t have much meat… uh!” Mary realized then that this wasn’t the time to discuss this.

Then she looked up at Shen Ye in front of her and suddenly felt that he looked familiar: "Who are you?"

Just as she was trying to recall, a cheerful male voice interrupted her thoughts.

"Mary!"

Hearing the voice, Mary turned around and looked over, then pouted and said, "Terry, it's you!"

“Hey, I just heard from Geese that you’re the third member of their team, so I came to find you. But how did you end up hanging out with those two thugs?” Terry said somewhat shyly.

“Because they paid.” Mary said casually, then looked at Shen Ye again: “Ah! I remember now, you were the champion of the last King of Fighters tournament, Shen, right?”

Shen Ye nodded: "Yes!"

At that moment, Kagura Chizuru complained to her older sister Kagura Maki, "Big sister, it seems like she's ignoring us."

“I didn’t ignore it, it’s just that Japanese names are too hard to remember.” Mary shrugged helplessly.

"……OK then."

Then Mary looked at Shen Ye and said, "I've watched your matches, even though it was just a recording, but you're really strong. Terry wasn't even your match. You know, that guy could beat Geese."

Upon hearing this, Shen Ye glanced at Terry with a strange expression and found that the handsome young man seemed completely unconcerned.

“Shen is the strongest person I’ve ever seen. He might be the champion again this time.” Terry nodded in agreement.

"Hearing you say that, I suddenly really look forward to fighting him." Mary's eyes lit up, and then she nudged Shen Ye with her elbow without any hesitation: "Hey, you'd better show your true skills then!"

"Of course." Shen Ye shrugged. "I definitely won't let you down, provided you manage to meet me..."

As they were talking, a few more people walked in from outside the reception hall. Leading the way were Iori Yagami's Hell Band and his sister's Moonflower Band.

However, before they arrived, the Japanese team, including Kyo Kusanagi, had already come over. Upon seeing Kyo Kusanagi, Iori Yagami immediately abandoned his teammates and strode towards him.

"Won't they start fighting here?"

Seeing the tense atmosphere between Iori Yagami and Kyo Kusanagi as soon as they met, Chizuru Kagura asked Manki Kagura from behind Shen Ye.

"It's hard to say..."

Kagura Maki let out a heavy sigh!

……

(A few can be seen)

Chapter 745! Airship

……

Fortunately, Iori Yagami and Kyoto Kusanagi were both reasonable people. They only exchanged a few sarcastic remarks with each other before returning to their respective groups, which relieved many people who knew about their feud.

A while later, teams such as the Harem Team and the Superpower Warrior Team also arrived at the hotel one after another.

All twelve teams participating in this competition have arrived.

Next, the process was exactly the same as the unveiling ceremony of the first King of Fighters tournament: the fighters appeared and the host introduced them. However, this time the focus was on introducing the new teams, namely the Harem Team, the Moonflower Team, the Hell Band Team, and the South Town Special Invitation Team.

Once they had all made their appearances, the ceremony was considered complete.

Then, the next step was to land on the airship.

As arranged by the organizers, the twelve teams arrived at the port in twelve vehicles.

As soon as the fighters got off the vehicle, they spotted the huge airship parked next to the gantry crane.

It was a colossal aircraft, estimated to be over 400 meters long and about 60 meters in diameter.

At this moment, the staff on the side began to explain... The airship is made of the strongest superalloy material as its frame, and the modular airbags ensure that even if it has a hole, it will not crash easily.

The cabins beneath the airship serve as the main living area for the fighters, while the battleground is located above the airship, where a large arena has been constructed using materials even stronger than superalloy…

With explanations from the staff, the fighters and accompanying reporters entered the cabin via the gangway.
