—15 years ago—
The dim light swayed in the room, allowing people to see the situation clearly in the vast darkness. A child less than three years old was lying on the bed and sleeping soundly, but was awakened by the sound of his parents arguing. In his hazy eyes, he saw the child falling on the bed. Broken dishes and lamps on the floor...
Two figures were arguing under the dim light. Dad was holding a crumpled white paper in his hand, with many words written on it. He lowered his head, his body was trembling, and bright red oozed from his other hand. of blood...
Mom's face was filled with tears, her voice was almost hoarse, she kept shouting and roaring at dad, and even moved her hands and feet. Dad didn't fight back and allowed mom to vent, but impatience seemed to be rippling on his face...
"Wow wow wow -" The child who was frightened by the sound cried loudly, which seemed to stop their quarrel...
The parents gathered themselves together, wiped the tears from their faces and went to the bedside, looking at the baby who was crying and blushing with distress.
My mother hugged her lovingly, rocked her gently, and put her ear to her ear to coax her to sleep as usual...
There seemed to be no more quarrels that night, and vaguely, he seemed to hear his mother's sobbing...
When he woke up again, his father was gone and the ground had been cleaned up. He still couldn't speak fluently and he raised his head curiously and asked his mother: "Where is dad?"
"He went to work..." Mom's answer was very weak.
"He...he usually doesn't go to work until a while later..."
His mother didn't answer him. He raised his head and saw the tears on his mother's face...
"Um...Mom...don't cry, don't cry...Hayate is here..." He hugged his mother tightly and said awkwardly, just like his mother usually comforted him.
"Yeah..." Although he nodded in agreement, tears couldn't stop flowing out...
…
"Uh..." When he opened his eyes, the sky outside the window was already covered with a touch of fish belly white.
The pale light shone on his slightly dark face, and there was no light in his eyes. He rubbed his fluffy hair and said to himself in this simple room where he was alone: "It's that dream again..."
Although he said it was a dream, he actually knew very well that this was what happened to him. This was not the first time that he had dreamed about the past. This time, he had not even dreamed about the rest of it...
He lifted off the thin quilt with many patches, got off the bed made of discarded wooden boards, came to the half-mirror he had picked up, and looked at the man in the mirror who was not yet eighteen years old.
There was no light in his eyes, and the clothes on his body were already shabby and patched...
There is only one bed and a shabby sofa in the room. There is also an old small round table with only two teapots on it. In one of them, there are old cleaned combs, pens, and a few teapots. Coins... He picked up a small round medicine jar placed next to the bed. The sound of the pills colliding inside was already very faint...
Pouring out the few remaining pills, he counted them over and over again, and there were seven left...
Picking one up, he put it in his mouth and swallowed it. He sighed: "There are only six left..."
The sky lights up, and the back illuminated by the morning light looks particularly desolate...
"How long can I... live..." These words slowly came out of my mouth. A cool breeze blew outside the house, blowing the leaves outside the house, making a "rustling" sound, and many of the withered leaves were blown away. Blow down.
Winter is coming soon, and there are not many leaves left on the tree, just like his life... is burning out bit by bit...
"Haifeng, are you up so early again?" He put on the denim jacket given by his neighbor and walked out of the room. The neighbor's aunt who lived on the second floor greeted him warmly.
"Well, I'm used to it, Aunt Furukawa." He raised his head and responded with a smile. Although he was smiling, a glimmer of light seemed to flash in his eyes at this time.
"Hey, do you want that old stove in our house? Isn't it going to be winter? Our house is going to replace it with a new one. If you don't like it, you can use it!"
Facing Aunt Furukawa's enthusiasm, he just smiled and shook his head: "Thank you, Auntie, for your kindness. No, I'm fine!"
He knew in his heart that Aunt Furukawa was taking care of him. He had already received a lot of care from their family. In the winter of the past few years, he almost froze to death at home. Thanks to their timely discovery, they carried him to the stove before letting him pick him up. Saved a life.
He knew very well that it was not easy for Aunt Furukawa's family. After all, those who could rent in the same remote place as him would not be rich. Their family also works from early to late at night, just to make ends meet and provide for their two children to go to school. They get up early and work until late at night, often working until the early morning, and have to get up before five o'clock every day...
He didn't want to cause any more trouble to their family. After all, he...
Without thinking further, he waved goodbye to Aunt Furukawa: "Then I'll leave first! Bye!"
Watching his thin figure go away, Aunt Furukawa, who was rubbing her clothes, shook her head and sighed softly: "What a good young man, it's a pity... it's a pity..."
I came to the factory early, took out the rusty key, opened the door, and let the lights flash a few times in the slightly dilapidated factory.
"Haifeng, are you here so early again?" He put on his work clothes, and a middle-aged man who was naturally fat also walked in.
"Good morning, Mr. Nozaki!" he greeted warmly, his eyes lighting up again.
Mr. Nozaki was a lifesaver to him. His reborn parents took him into the factory regardless of obstruction when he was desperate and had no one willing to take him anywhere, so that he could earn a living and barely afford medicine. Come to extend your life...
Without him, how could he have a place to sleep? Maybe he would have left this world long ago...
He also thought about leaving this world and ending his painful life, but for some reason, he always hesitated every time he wanted to jump off the overpass. The voices of the past kept echoing in his mind, making him squat down and cry weakly. …
"Stay alive...go on living..."
That kind of voice has sounded in my ears countless times... In the end, I finally gave up the idea of committing suicide and lived with all my strength...
"No need to work today." Watching him put on his gloves, Nozaki reached out to stop him, making him very puzzled:
"Huh? Why?"
Walking aimlessly on the street alone, the light in his eyes was gone and full of confusion...
"I can't do it anymore..."
"No need to come here anymore..."
What Mr. Nozaki just said echoed in his ears, and he kept sighing. Although he knew that it would happen sooner or later, he didn't expect it to happen so soon...
Mr. Nozaki is a very good man. He used his savings from the first half of his life to build a factory, which accommodated many homeless people like him and had nowhere to go. He saved many precious lives. But now the competition The pressure is high and the factory has suffered losses year after year. In order to prevent them from having food to eat, Mr. Nozaki is also worried about it and has been holding on...
He also paid a lot for himself for various reasons, and the same for everyone else...
Now...he can't hold on anymore...
What he worries about is not himself, but his family members who also rely on this job to make a living...
I can't live much longer, but what should others do...
For a moment, he couldn't think of a way out... He was walking alone on the street. It was the rush hour for work and school. The place was busy and noisy, but it was difficult for his lonely figure to blend into the noise...
"Wha—" A red light flashed behind him, and everyone around him turned to look and exclaimed in surprise. He was stunned for a moment, then looked back, and his eyes widened like theirs:
Surrounded by red light, a huge dinosaur-like creature appeared out of thin air in the city. Several cars had no time to brake, and directly hit its huge feet and exploded, causing waves of dense smoke to rise all around. cigarette.
This alien beast looks ferocious, its body is covered with dense spikes, its long tail drags behind it, its powerful arms are full of strong muscles, and its body is extremely tough. What is very strange is that its head grows on On the left chest, there is only a huge sharp corner at the top. The white eyes and mouth are all on the left chest, which looks very penetrating.
"Roar!!" The giant beast roared, moving its huge body like a dinosaur, turning around and flicking its tail to destroy a building and turn it into ruins.
"What kind of monster is this?!" He was so surprised that he couldn't care less and hurriedly turned around and ran away quickly with the people around him.
"Swish - swish -" Four dark blue fighter planes flew over and attacked the giant beast, causing it to wail in waves.
"Help! Help!" As he was trying to escape, he heard a cry for help coming from next to him.
"This..." Looking back at the ferocious-looking alien beast, he gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, turned his back on the crowd, and hurried through the crowd toward the direction of the sound.
Finally, near a collapsed building not far from the alien beast, he heard the cry for help again: "Help! Help!!"
"What's wrong??" He rushed over following the voice, and immediately saw a middle-aged woman trapped under the rubble by a collapsed wall.
Seeing someone coming, the hope of life ignited in her eyes again, but it was not for herself.
"Hold on! I'll rescue you right away!!" He stretched out his hand to move away the big rocks that were pressing on her, but he was powerless. His thin body couldn't shake these big rocks at all. He was tired for a while. It didn't help that he was sweating profusely.
"I...I'm fine. Please, please get him out..."
"What?" Hearing the woman's voice, he looked down and found the infant baby she was protecting in her arms...
"It doesn't matter if I die, but this child is still young and has not seen the world properly. Please... please must save him..." With tears in her eyes, at this moment of life and death, she could only I hope my child can survive...
This... hearing her say this, he recalled the past events in his mind:
"Mom, why don't you eat duck?" He asked in confusion when his mother brought the only food left in the house to his mouth.
"Mom is not hungry, as long as Hayate can eat enough!" The mother's thin face forced a smile: "Haifeng, be good, after eating, mom will take you to your aunt's house to play..."
"Hmm!" At that time, Little Gale didn't know what this sentence meant...
After arriving at her aunt's house, her mother didn't stay too long. She chatted a few words and left after she couldn't understand.
"Actually, you really don't have to..." Auntie opened her mouth and wanted to stop mom, but mom didn't look back, her body was trembling slightly: "I... I'm fine, as long as the wind can... survive, that's enough..."
"Mom, where are you going?" He took unfamiliar steps to catch up, but what he caught up with was the door slamming shut...
…
"Stop talking nonsense!!" He gritted his teeth and refused, his eyes ignited with fire, and he moved the pieces that were pressing her hard, his face turned red, and his hands were bruised with blood...
Touching the scene, he burst into tears with tears in his eyes and shouted in pain: "If you are his mother, then live a good life together with me and don't leave him to live alone in the world!!!"
He didn't want to see the scene of mother and son being separated, which immediately gave him motivation. He used all his strength to slowly shake the gravel...
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhinging!"
"People are still taking refuge and continue to attack. We must stop its advance!"
"Wait a minute, captain!!" Gumen called to the captain.
"Gumen, what's wrong?"
"Look there, there are people near the monster!" Everyone looked and saw the figure on the ground who was trying to save people.
"This..." Captain Wakura frowned: "Move behind the alien beast and attack!!"
"clear!!"
"Hold on...right now...right now..." He didn't have time to rest and catch his breath. He quickly cleaned up other small debris and looked up at this brave young man he had never met. This mother seemed to see something in him. , looking down at the sleeping child in his arms, the hope of living reignited in his eyes.
"Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa" He stretched out his hand to push away all the rubble on the top, and then struggled to lift the last stone slab, allowing the woman to climb out with her child and regain her freedom.
"Are you okay??" He ignored the wounds on his hands, stepped forward to help the mother holding her child, and asked with concern.
"Thank you very much. I'm fine." The mother shook her head and looked worriedly at his hands stained red with blood: "It's you..."
"Don't worry so much, run away!!"
"Not good!!!" As soon as the night attack team moved behind the alien beast and prepared to attack, they saw the alien beast opening its big mouth on its chest and spitting out a series of fireballs forward...
"Huh??" The prophet in the base seemed to feel something. He raised his brows slightly and showed a smile: "Welcome back..."
"Roar!!!" The roar of the monster came. When Hayate looked back, he saw a fiery red spherical object approaching quickly. He hurriedly opened his hands to block behind the mother and son. A wave of heat hit him and he closed his eyes. , ready to face death...
But there was no severe pain as he had imagined. He opened his eyes and saw that the sunlight here was obscured by something. The mother and son in front of him looked behind him in surprise.
"Am I still alive?" Looking down at the unharmed body, he followed their surprised eyes and looked back, and then his jaw dropped: "Silver... giant..."
As he said, the one who blocked the attack for them was this giant with silver light on his body. The red energy core on his chest and the helmet-like shape on his head were very distinctive. His silver eyes looked at them gently, making him They feel reassured.
"Ultra Warrior..." When Gumen and others saw this silver giant, they were stunned for a moment, their eyes widened, and they couldn't believe it.
"Welcome back, Ultra Warrior." The Predictor smiled confidently, as if he had predicted all this.
"Roar!!!" Looking at the silver giant who suddenly appeared to ruin his good deeds, the alien beast roared at him angrily. The eyes on its chest stared at him, and opened its mouth again towards his back. Launch an attack...
