"Gaofeng, are you okay?" Gumen returned to the collapsed wall first to find the panting Gaofeng, and hurriedly stepped forward and stretched out his hand to support him.
At this time, Hayate was already covered in hot sweat. After all, he had just finished bandaging and should not have entered the battle immediately.
"I...I'm fine..." He breathed heavily, secretly glad that the enemy this time was not particularly strong, otherwise with his current physical condition...I am afraid that even maintaining the Metafield for three minutes would be a problem...
"Can I still leave?"
"Can……"
"Well, let me help you go back to the hospital to have a rest first." Gumen helped Hayate back to the hospital. The place quickly returned to normal after the strange plant monster disappeared, but many police were still hired to help guard and prevent it. Something unexpected happened again.
"Thank you... Gumen..." Lying on the bed, Hayate slowly opened his mouth to thank Gumen.
"It's okay..." Gumen nodded, but received another message from the prophet: "All members of the Night Raid Team will return to Freedom Fortress immediately."
"You have a good rest, I still have something to do," Gumen was about to leave, but he did not forget to say before leaving:
"Haifeng...you must also remember what you said to that child - live strong!"
"Yeah!" Hayate nodded and watched Lone Gate leave.
"Stay alive..." He murmured alone, reached for the silver dagger over there, looked at its slightly flickering light, and had a lot of thoughts in his heart...
Yes...I want to...live...
No matter how long you have left, you must... you must... try your best to live...
My life must still be very long...
He closed his eyes, but crystal clear tears flowed uncontrollably from the corners of his eyes...
"What happened?" Gumon quickly rushed back to the Freedom Fortress. Saijo and Shiori had also just arrived. Captain Wakura looked serious and did not answer Gumen's question. He asked the three of them to sit down first.
"It seems that everyone is here." The prophet's voice sounded, and then his holographic projection emerged in the light, ready to start the meeting.
"Look at this," the prophet adjusted the picture to the big screen. The four of them saw that it was the picture of the plant monster that attacked the hospital today, but it was slightly different. The flowers on his face were slightly smaller.
"Isn't this the plant weirdo from today?"
"No," the prophet shook his head: "They are not the same individual."
"It's not the same individual..." Saijo took a closer look and found that it was indeed somewhat different from what he saw. The white flowers on his face were smaller.
"Does that mean there's more than one of them?"
"That's right." The prophet nodded and called up another picture, which was a radar map of Japan. The picture slowly enlarged, and densely packed small dots gradually appeared on it.
"Could it be that these dots are..." Captain Wakura frowned, realizing that something was wrong.
The prophet nodded and confirmed his idea: "Yes, it's those plant weirdos."
"There are so many?!" Shiori was shocked. Today, this one was too much for them to deal with. If all these plant monsters appeared in the city, it would be... a disaster...
"Is there any countermeasure?" Vice Captain Saijo was relatively calm.
The prophet shook his head: "This time it is a completely unknown enemy. Their habits are completely different from those of alien beasts. It is not clear what their purpose is, but one thing is for sure." He paused, and everyone understood what he meant. Meaning - "This thing is hostile to humans."
"Gumen member, Sugiyama Hayate is still in that hospital, right?"
"Yeah." Gumen nodded: "What's wrong?"
"According to the battle video sent back by Captain Wakura, it can be seen that it should have similar abilities to the flower-shaped alien beast Lefulia that appeared before. The ability of pollen is currently unknown. Sugiyama Hayate should also have The remaining pollen, I need to take some samples if possible.”
After hearing the prophet's explanation, Gumen nodded in agreement and immediately stood up to prepare to leave, but was stopped by the prophet: "Don't worry, just let me talk to the hospital. You have other tasks."
"Huh? Other tasks?" Shizhi thought for a while and looked confused: "You don't want us to eliminate those plant monsters one by one, right?" Looking at the dots almost all over the city, Shizhi couldn't help but My head hurts.
"That's not necessary at all." The prophet smiled confidently: "Based on the current observation, most of them have not started to move. They seem to be waiting for something. Except for the one you destroyed, the others have not made any movement. Police Ban has sent many people to spread out and guard everywhere."
"Besides, even if you are asked to dispatch, you will not have enough manpower at all."
"That's right..." Captain Wakura agreed very much. After all, with the current four-person establishment, it really couldn't be taken care of.
"So..." The prophet smiled slightly and turned his head to the door.
"Huh?" The four of them followed his gaze. The door slowly opened to both sides, and two figures came into view. One of them was their old acquaintance, Administrator Matsunaga. Standing next to him was a man in a robe. A relatively muscular young man wearing the same Night Raid team uniform as them. His dark skin is a symbol of health, and his blue and black team uniform complements his extraordinary energy.
"Everyone, let me introduce you," Manager Matsunaga, with his gray hair, smiled slightly:
"This is Taiyang Qingshan, officially joining your Night Raid Team A from today..." He seemed to realize what he said wrongly, and coughed twice: "Ahem!! Officially joining your Night Raid Team, please give me your advice. .”
"Seniors, my name is Qingshan Taiyang. I have served in the Ministry of National Defense. I am extremely honored to be able to fight with all of you! Please give me your advice in the future!!" The young man named Qingshan Taiyang stepped forward very politely and introduced himself. A deep bow.
"Welcome to join the Night Raid Team! I am Captain Wakura Eisuke." Captain Wakura looked happy and stepped forward to shake hands to welcome him.
"Welcome!" The other three people also stepped forward to shake hands and introduce themselves:
"I am Ikki the Solitary Man, please give me some advice!"
"Vice-captain Saijo Feng, please give me some advice!"
"Team member Hiragi Shiori, please give me your advice!"
"So he's from the Ministry of National Defense. I asked him how the new members were trained so quickly." Shiori nodded. She was still very confused at first. After all, she and Gumen had just gone to help with the interview not long ago. Even if they had already been selected, Once a candidate is selected, he shouldn’t finish training and join the team so quickly.
"This is a temporary order issued by superiors considering that the Night Raid Team is very busy right now," Manager Matsunaga explained to everyone. "If nothing happens, he should be able to stay here forever."
"Captain Wakura, then I will leave the sun to you." Manager Matsunaga reached out and patted Captain Wakura on the shoulder and left first.
"Don't worry." After Manager Matsunaga left, Captain Wakura couldn't help but smile with joy. He smiled and was very happy. Although the other three people felt very sudden about this new member, they were also surprised. All welcome.
The prophet coughed twice and brought his attention back to himself: "Ahem! Let's put aside the matter of welcoming new members for now. There are still tasks now."
The four Gumen looked at each other, calmed down their emotions, and sat back down. Seeing that the new team member was unresponsive, Gumen reached out and pulled him to the empty seat to sit down.
"Look at this radar picture carefully." The prophet further enlarged the picture, making the dots on it more clearly visible, and at the same time increasing the distance to see the distribution trend.
It is very obvious that these dots form a circle. The dots on the periphery are relatively sparse. The further inside, the more dots there are and the more dense they are.
"This place is not..." Looking at the most central location, Gu Men frowned.
"That's right, it's near the Free Fortress." The prophet nodded and brought up the nearby images. Looking at the image displayed on the screen, the four people except the sun felt that it was extremely familiar - it was the same image they and they had last night. The place where aliens can fight in the form of Ultraman!
"But..." Looking at the strange scene above, Taiyang expressed his opinion: "Seniors, you see, the trees around here are all uprooted or broken, and the ground is full of broken branches and leaves. Why is that big tree safe and sound?”
The four of them took a closer look and found that it was indeed as he said. In a decadent forest, there was only one strange green tree that was full of life. What was even stranger was that it was almost winter now, but that tree was full of green branches. Green foliage.
"Look at this," the prophet said, enlarging the picture so that everyone could see the strange white flowers blooming on the tree.
"Isn't this just..." Looking at the narcissus-like white flowers, everyone suddenly understood.
"Yes, these flowers can be initially confirmed to be the same as those on the faces of those plant weirdos."
"So that's their base camp, so...are we going to destroy it?" The new members were full of energy, looking like they couldn't wait to go out now.
"No," the prophet shook his head and stopped him: "If the attack is not carried out properly, it is likely that the weirdos who have entered the city will initiate a riot. In that case, the situation will be difficult to deal with."
Taiyang was very puzzled: "Then what should we do?"
His voice was louder, making the Predictor frown slightly.
Looking at the new member who was so excited that he almost jumped out of his chair, the four members of Gumen all had doubts in their eyes, but they didn't say anything more.
Gumen stretched out his hand and gently pulled him, and said softly: "Team Qingshan, you don't need to be so anxious. The Predictor is our combat commander, so he must have his countermeasures."
"I'm sorry, senior, I'm rude!" He knew his mistake and could correct it. He stood up and bowed deeply to the prophet to apologize. Of course, his loud voice was not restrained at all.
Naturally, the prophet would not care too much about him. He waved his hand for him to sit down, reorganized his thoughts, and continued:
"In order to avoid alerting the enemy, the night raid team is requested to go out at night to investigate the situation and prepare for future operations."
"clear!"
"Understood!!" Qingshan Taiyang's voice instantly overwhelmed the voices of the other four people, and responded to the prophet very energetically.
The prophet's mouth twitched slightly and he coughed twice: "That's the end of the meeting."
After saying that, the holographic projection disappeared in front of everyone. Fortunately, Qingshan was not as surprised as when Gumen first came, otherwise, with his voice, the exclamation would probably be...
Shizhi thought for a moment, then a chill ran down her spine and her body trembled slightly, as if to persuade herself not to think about it any more.
Captain Wakura looked down at the time: "It's six o'clock in the evening now, and the operation is scheduled for eight o'clock in the evening. Now let's get ready!"
"Understood!!" Qingshan seemed to have endless energy and replied very forcefully.
"Um..." Captain Hecang raised his forehead slightly, reached out and patted Gumen on the shoulder, casting a trusting look at him: "Gumen, it's up to you to lead the new team members to familiarize themselves with the work!"
"Huh?" Looking at Captain Wakura with a smirk on his face, Gumen felt helpless: "This... okay..."
The prophet breathed a long sigh of relief after the meeting. It was rare that he fell back and reached out to gently rub his temples.
He let out a breath and complained alone: "This new member... is a little too passionate..."
Before, he only knew that a young man would be transferred from the Ministry of National Defense. Because he was busy with work, he didn't pay much attention to it. But when he saw it today, it was completely beyond his imagination...
He has never seen this kind of enthusiasm in the team, and... he always feels that this is not a good thing...
After all, even Gu Clan has gotten into trouble before, not to mention the Qingshan Sun whose passion far exceeds that of Gu Clan...
"Huh... forget it..." This was not something he had to worry about. The prophet sat upright again, called up Michael's production data and started to help debug again. The computer next to him was also always paying attention to the movements of the big tree. , the special jellyfish-like life form in the special container next to it seemed to swim faster, causing waves of bubbles.
"Huh?" The prophet raised his head in confusion and looked at the life forms: "Did the visitor... sense something?"
At this time, another bad news came from the Son of Prometheus - all the data about Michael had been deleted for no apparent reason! ! !
"How could it be..." Looking at the email, every word was so painful... In this way, the previous production failure was no accident... someone was there...
"Who?!" He foresaw the danger and hurriedly activated TLT's network defense enhancement system, but it was still a step too late. When the system started, all his data about Michael was gone...
"How is it possible..." He was a little surprised. He had never seen such a situation before. He looked up at the life forms swimming accelerating in the container. There was a series of bubbles floating behind them, as if they wanted to convey something to him. …
"The root... is destroyed..."
