Takano Kazuaki - Genocide

In the Congo jungle, mercenaries recruited by the American government carry out a secret mission, they must destroy a pygmy village of forty people and the American anthropologist who lives with them. Their mission is supplemented with a clause that is difficult to interpret: they will encounter an unknown creature near the pygmies, they must kill it too. The strange wording begins to unsettle the four mercenaries, awakening in them suspicions about alien life forms. The leader of the detachment, Yeager, has a sick child, suffering from end-stage pulmonary sclerosis. In Japan, the university student son of a research doctor who has died suddenly, Kento finds his father's instructions, which reveal how to continue the aborted drug experiments. The medicine to be developed gives Yeager's child a chance to be cured. Kento tries to protect the scientific results, but more and more people are chasing him. Will you be able to find out the contents of the old expert report that was classified by the FBI? Shockingly brutal.
