JOJO: Bizarre Adventure

Chapter 22 Protracted Warfare and Blitzkrieg

7:30 a.m., Morio Town, Morio Gang Base Villa.

Looking at his injured comrades lying on the ground, Oda Goyoshi felt a pang of heartache.

Even now, they have only eliminated a small number of enemy troops, while their own losses have been enormous.

In just half an hour, seven or eight Stand users alone lost their fighting ability, not to mention the ordinary gang members who were not Stand users.

Although they are an organized criminal gang, the gap between them and the regular army is still difficult to bridge.

Fortunately, they had secretly stockpiled a lot of weapons over the years, and they also had a large number of stand-in users at their disposal, so they were probably all dead by now.

"Boss! There are more and more dead people!"

Just now, the soil on the ground sculpted into a large number of human figures. At first, they didn't realize what was happening, but soon they found many familiar faces among them.

This made them realize the impact of this ability.

Create living zombies!

Moreover, these zombies are highly resilient; even if they are beaten to the point of losing limbs, they can still continue to move.

Ability: By pounding the earth, one can summon the souls of the dead buried underground, using mud as a body.

The resurrected souls retain their fighting abilities from their previous lives, but their overall actions are completely controlled by their Stands.

The undead are unconscious, feel no pain, and do not stop moving when injured.

Appearance: A ragged skeleton that moves slowly but is extremely strong.

"That's probably not the most troublesome thing. Has the leader made a move yet?"

Upon hearing Oda Goyoshi's question, a woman who was using a stand-in to observe the distance replied:

"No, boss, he's been guarding the door the whole time, and his double hasn't made a move either."

Upon hearing the woman's report, Oda Goyoshi felt a surge of dread.

If this one person has such troublesome abilities, and another guy seems to be of even higher status, then his strength is probably even more troublesome.

"Watch out! Another zombie with a clone has appeared!"

A gasp reached everyone's ears. Upon hearing that another zombie with a Stand had appeared, Holmes and Tetsuya Yamagami immediately used their Stand abilities to attack it.

""emperor"!"

"Breaking the wind to cross the night!"

Although zombies do not stop moving when injured, they can be destroyed until they can no longer move.

For example, they completely destroyed its legs; they have used this method to intercept a large number of zombies.

"Loo! Watch out for the missile on the left!"

Upon hearing Oda Goyoshi's reminder, a punk-style man immediately moved his Stand Barrier slightly towards the left window.

"Miyi, how are the wounded being treated?"

As soon as he lowered his head, Oda Goyoshi inquired about the situation behind him.

"The situation is not optimistic. There are too many people, and most of them have been attacked by Stands and shot. A few have also suffered blast injuries. With just the abilities of a few of us, we cannot heal them in a short time."

"I see. Okay, I understand."

After asking his questions, Oda Goyoshi came to the side of a boy.

"Leqi, hold on a little longer. The situation is not optimistic. We may have to deactivate our abilities and run away soon."

"Still no news about reinforcements, boss?"

Upon hearing the boy's question, Oda Goyoshi shook his head.

"It's a pity, but there's really no news. But don't worry about it. The boss will definitely not give up on Morioh."

You are the key to this battle; all you need to do is protect yourself.

Oda Goyoshi offered words of comfort to a boy named Rakuchi.

"Okay, boss, I understand."

Oda Goyoshi was also very anxious, but there was nothing he could do; he couldn't take the initiative to contact his boss.

Morio Town, inside a private residence.

A housewife who looked to be in her fifties lay dead at the doorway, surrounded by a large puddle of water. Upon closer inspection, it was clear that she was dead, and judging from the water around her mouth and nose, she had drowned.

In the living room of the house stood a man dressed in a black robe, with a black double floating behind him.

At his feet lay a boy with a steak-shaped haircut, his face flushed and panting heavily.

Not far away at the stairwell, there was a woman lying in a pool of blood, and an old man also lying in a pool of blood.

The woman had a large hole in her chest, while the old man had a gunshot wound.

"There is...one more person."

The man in black robes glanced around and slowly walked towards the second floor.

"Hey...where are you going, you bastard? You think you've beaten me?!"

Josuke forced himself to stand up, his gaze fixed firmly on the man in black.

"I've roughly guessed your abilities. Now, I'll send you to hell with my 'Crazy Diamond'!"

As he spoke, he strode towards the stairwell!

“Boring…a foolish people unwilling to face death.”

With a slight murmur, the man in black robes dodged the attack of "Crazy Diamond" with incredible speed.

Even so, a slight smile appeared on Josuke's lips.

Due to a persistent high fever, his consciousness was already somewhat blurred, so his first reaction was not to attack the enemy, but to save people while he was still conscious.

So his real target was actually his severely injured and unconscious mother and grandfather.

"Crazy Diamond! Fix it for me!"

With a speed rating of A, "Crazy Diamond" moved with exceptional speed, saving the two who were on the verge of death with two consecutive punches.

But that's all; they haven't woken up yet.

"Huh...huh..."

Josuke withstood the mental pressure, holding onto the handrail to block his mother, grandfather, and the path leading to the second floor behind him.

"Although I can't crack your ability right now... I think you shouldn't be able to use your ability on the same person repeatedly..."

As Josuke spoke, the man in black robes shook his head.

"I never expected to run into someone like you. You're the perfect counter to my abilities. The information I received only said that you were a very capable healing Stand, but I never imagined that you had such a powerful ability."

Despite saying this, the black-robed man's voice remained completely flat.

"But just as the intelligence said, you can't heal yourself."

"So what? Even so, I'll still use 'Crazy Diamond' to grind you into mincemeat!"

"You're really good at talking big. There are only the two of us standing here now. Do you really think you have a high chance of winning?"

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Josuke seemed to suddenly remember something.

"Thank you for reminding me."

Then he suddenly shouted upstairs:

"Qiao Zhou, this guy's ability is..."

Stand Name: Ten Little Black Men

Body: Amelica

Destructive power C

Speed ​​B

Range C

Endurance E

Precision B

Growth potential B

Ability: Select a target person and recreate the moment when they were closest to death.

This is why the injuries sustained by everyone inside the house were different.

The homeowner had once fallen into the water, which was the closest she came to death, so when the scene was recreated, she drowned.

Similarly, Josuke's closest brush with death was a high fever of over 40 degrees Celsius, while Ryohei Higashikata's closest brush with death was being shot while chasing a criminal.

As for Tomoko, the closest she came to death was yesterday afternoon when she was punched through the chest by "Red Light Green Light".

The biggest problem now is that Josuke is unable to treat his high fever.

The enemy's attack was imminent.
