Watching Lina and Daiko leave, Nori asked cautiously, "Did I say something wrong?" It was the first time he saw Lina so angry. "No." Sohō looked at Nori, who looked like a child who had done something wrong, and immediately comforted him, "Everyone has their own ideas, and it is normal to have different opinions. If everyone agrees, it will be dangerous." "Huh?" Nori looked at Sohō with a puzzled look, not quite understanding what Sohō meant. Isn't it great for everyone to work together to fight? Sohō did not explain, but looked at Iruma Kei and said, "Captain, the allocation of combat personnel is a big problem. We need someone who can drive a mecha to stay at the base to prevent possible accidents." Iruma Kei thought for a while after hearing this, and then said, "Then let Lina, Shinjo, and Horii participate, and the vice-captain, Nori and Daiko, the three of you stay at the base to prevent accidents." "Understood!" ... TPCs in various countries have begun preparations before the battle, ready to annihilate the Lightning Man in one fell swoop.
Since the appearance of the Lightning Man, Dr. Mizuno, who has been looking for a way for humans and Lightning Man to coexist, also returned to TPC at this time. In the past year or so, Dr. Mizuno still has not found a way for Lightning Man and humans to coexist. However, thanks to Dr. Mizuno's research, humans have a deeper understanding of Lightning Man. Although the individual Lightning Man is very small, they share a common consciousness. In short, although Lightning Man has individual consciousness, it is more of the group consciousness that dominates their behavior. Moreover, Dr. Mizuno has tried to communicate with Lightning Man. But the logical thinking of humans and Lightning Man is too different, and each time it ends in failure. In the end, Dr. Mizuno even had to consider the plan proposed by Shen Yun. Although it is cruel to capture Lightning Man and keep him in captivity for intelligent life like Lightning Man. But losing freedom is better than losing life, isn't it? After learning that the General Staff Headquarters meeting approved the Lightning Man annihilation operation, Dr. Mizuno did not say much, but asked TPC to capture as many Lightning Man as possible and preserve the Lightning Man race. This was the only thing he could do. Time passed by bit by bit in the tense preparations. Just one day before the Flash Man annihilation war. "Beep beep." A shrill alarm sounded in the command room. "What's going on? What happened?" Xincheng looked back at Nori and asked. "The monitoring satellite detected abnormal electromagnetic waves." Nori looked at the parameters on the computer screen and answered. "Abnormal electromagnetic waves? Could it be the Flash Man?" Horii guessed. "No, the abnormal electromagnetic waves detected this time are located in the suburbs." Nori rejected.
"Nori, bring up the scene immediately." Iruma Hui gestured. "Yes!" Nori nodded and immediately put the scene on the main screen. A lush hill with lush branches and leaves appeared on the main screen of the command room. "Isn't this nothing?" Lina looked at the lush hill on the main screen and couldn't help saying. "No, the abnormal electromagnetic waves are emitted from this mountain, and there is a huge life reaction in the mountain." Ye Rui looked at the data displayed on the computer screen and said immediately. "Huge life reaction? So, there is a monster in this mountain?" Da Gu looked at Ye Rui and asked. "I think so." Ye Rui nodded. "The monster in the mountain... just at this time." Zong Fang looked at the small hill on the main screen and fell into deep thought. This is really a coincidence. Tomorrow is when they will launch a general attack on the Lightning Man, and today they have detected the monster. It is hard not to make associations. "Issue an evacuation order immediately and evacuate all residents in nearby residential areas." Iruma Hui gave the order. "Yes!" After issuing the evacuation order, the Victory Team held a combat meeting around the monster in this mountain. "This monster really gave us a problem." Zong Fang looked at the small hill on the main screen and said. In the past, the monsters came out directly, and they drove the plane and the mecha to directly destroy the monsters. Although the monster was discovered in advance this time, it also brought a new problem, how to attack the monster sleeping in the mountain. "How about using the underground Pippa tank?" Xincheng asked. "Not very good, such a small mountain, if you really drive the underground Pippa tank into it, you might drive it directly into the face of the monster. Moreover, the electromagnetic waves inside the mountain are probably stronger, and you may not be able to get out after entering." Horii retorted. "Just drive the mecha over and blow up the mountain." Xincheng suggested. "That's the only way." Horii nodded and said. "Why do we have to destroy this monster?" Lina suddenly said. She looked at the lush forest on the main screen and continued, "It has been sleeping in this mountain for who knows how many years. Why can't it be left sleeping like this? Why must it be awakened and then destroyed?" "Is that even necessary? There are residential areas all around this mountain! If it is not destroyed, how many casualties will it cause and how many buildings will it destroy when it wakes up?" Xincheng looked at Lina and said as a matter of course. "It's better to take precautions before it happens. It will be too late to destroy it after it comes out to cause damage." Horii nodded in agreement. "..." Lina bit her lips gently, not knowing how to refute. "The matter of this monster is temporarily put on hold. Now everything is focused on the annihilation of the Lightning Man." Iruma Hui, who had been silent all the time, suddenly spoke up and made the decision. "Yes!"
Although the sleeping monster was temporarily put on hold by the Victory Team, the necessary weapons deployment and security work could not be reduced. TPC, which was already in a state of combat readiness, also started to operate at high speed under orders. One by one, the police department personnel evacuated the citizens in the nearby residential areas to safe shelters in an orderly manner. Transport planes and trucks transported disaster relief supplies to the shelters where residents were resettled. In addition, the Victory Hypa cannon was also deployed by TPC near the mountain. At the same time, tents were set up and various instruments and equipment were placed nearby to monitor the movements of the monsters in the mountains at all times. ... Soon, time came to the day of the Lightning Man annihilation operation. Command room. "Captain! The electromagnetic waves emitted by the monster suddenly increased! It seems to be waking up!" Nori looked at the parameters displayed on the computer screen and said hurriedly. "What's going on? Wasn't it fine yesterday?" Horii came to Nori and asked. "I don't know either." "Deputy Captain, due to the preparations for the Lightning Man annihilation war, Victory Swallow II cannot be deployed for the time being. You should immediately drive Swallow I and the mecha to the scene." Iruma Hui stood up, looked at Souma, and ordered. "Understood!" Souma nodded, looked at the Victory Team, and said: "Victory Team, set off immediately!" "Understood!" The Victory Team took their helmets and ran quickly to the hangar. Watching the Victory Team leave, Iruma Hui sat down again and said to Nori: "Team member Nori, bring up the scene." "Yes!" Nori nodded and immediately moved the scene to the main screen. The hill on the outskirts of the city appeared on the main screen of the command room again. This hill, which had existed for an unknown period of time, was shaking constantly, with huge rocks rolling down from the hill, and cracks appeared on the hill, and then a pair of huge horns poked out from the hill. Then, the ugly head of the monster and its huge body crawled out of the hill. The monster was covered with biological scales like armor, and there was a solid-looking shell on its back with strange patterns on it. It looked a bit like a stag beetle, with arms like sickles, sharp edges, and many sharp fins attached to its body. After it crawled out of the hill, it did not run around, nor did it attack and destroy wantonly, but stood there stupidly, looking as if it had not woken up yet. At this time, two Victory Swallow No. 1s arrived at the scene first and attacked the monster. At the same time, the Victory Hypa cannons that had been deployed near the mountain were all aimed at the monster and started shooting. The Victory Hypa cannons and the cannons of Feiyan No. 1 all hit the hard shell of Qiao Baili Ai, and some sparks exploded. After being bombarded for a long time, Qiao Baili Ai finally reacted and launched a counterattack against the Victory Hypa cannons that kept attacking it. The pair of insect horns on its head that were originally facing upwards suddenly drooped down, and began to accumulate energy together with the other two sharp tentacles on its face.
Then, a blue lightning was released from the center of Qiao Baili Ai's four tentacles and shot at the neatly arranged Victory Hypa cannons. "Boom!!" The lightning released by Qiao Baili Ai destroyed all the Victory Hypa cannons. After destroying the Victory Hypa cannons, the monster suddenly turned around and crawled into the cave from which it crawled out. In just a blink of an eye, Qiao Baili Ai went into the cave and disappeared. "Commander, what should we do now?" Da Gu asked, looking at the cave on the mountain below. "I don't know either." Zong Fang said helplessly. To be honest, he didn't expect that the monster would come out and go back again. At this time, Iruma Hui contacted Zong Fang and said, "Vice Captain, can the Victory Team return to the headquarters first?" "All? Although the monster has gone back, it's better for someone to stay." Zong Fang said. "The Lightning Man War seems to be about to start." "Why so fast, what's going on?" Zong Fang frowned and muttered. However, he still obeyed Iruma Hui's order and issued a retreat order to the two mechas that were late. "Lina, Xincheng, received the instruction, return to the base immediately now." "Commander, what's going on?" Xincheng asked. "The Lightning Man War is about to start." Zong Fang said. "So fast?" Lina was shocked. "Yes, let's return now." "Understood!" "It's a waste of time, how annoying!" Shinjo complained. Soon, everyone returned to the command room. "The Lightning Man operation has begun, and the Atreides will be dispatched in two hours." Iruma Hui said. "It would be great if there was another Atreides." Shinjo said. "Even if there is another one, it can't be driven into the residential area to bombard it, right?" Iruma Hui looked at Shinjo and smiled. After saying that, Jian Hui said again: "Okay, here's the order." "The lightning battle is proceeding according to the scheduled plan, and the personnel distribution is still in accordance with the previous distribution." "Three team members, Horii, Shinjo, and Lina, are participating. The deputy captain is responsible for commanding the TPC ground troops to deal with the monster. Team member Dagu is responsible for support work." "In addition..." Hui Jian paused, then looked back at Ye Rui and asked: "There are also members of Ye Rui, you can operate the mechanical Gorzan, is that okay?"
"Yes, yes!" Upon hearing this, Ye Rui stood up excitedly and stuttered back. Hui Jian looked at everyone on the victory team and asked, "Is there any problem?" "No!" everyone replied in unison. "Then let's go!" "clear!" Everyone in the victory team took their helmets, left the command room, and quickly headed to the hangar. On the way to the hangar, Shinjo met Mayumi who was about to go to the front line. The two looked at each other, and Shinjo did not stop, but passed Mayumi directly. Mayumi looked at Xincheng's back and said loudly: "Brother, Takumo and I's wedding is scheduled for Christmas this year." "I got it." Shinjo turned his back to Mayumi and waved his hand freely. Mayumi stood there, watching Shinjo's leaving figure, and whispered softly: "Brother, you must come back alive." "Equipment preparation is complete. Team members participating in the operation are asked to go to Gate 5." The announcement was being broadcast on the base's radio. "Dagu, hurry up." Zongfang heard the announcement and patted Dagu on the shoulder. After urging him, he also quickened his pace. "Yes." Da Gu nodded. At this time, Lina's footsteps suddenly stopped. Sensing that Lina had stopped, Dagu also stopped and turned back to look at Lina in confusion. Lina looked at Dagu and thought: "I think what Horii said makes sense at first hearing. However, when I think about it carefully, I feel something is wrong. But I just can't think of anything wrong." "Are you referring to the fact that humans are powerless against the problem of electromagnetic waves?" Dagu asked. "Yes." Lina nodded. "Actually, after listening to Horii's words, I also thought about it seriously." Dagu leaned on the railing of the base corridor and said again: "Lina, do you want to say that we can't coexist with each other?" "coexist?" "The earth does not belong only to humans." Dagu looked at Lina and said with a smile. When Lina heard this, she immediately smiled and said happily: "Yes, that's what it means! All living things on the earth should respect each other and coexist peacefully!" "Actually, the ultimate goal of our work is not just to protect humans, but to protect the earth." Dagu leaned against the railing, looked at Lina, and said with a smile: "Of course it is very difficult. Because we can neither Communicate with monsters, but you can’t predict when aliens will appear.” "Maybe Diga just wants to do this!" Lina said suddenly. "Huh?" Lina's words stunned Dagu. "It can't be wrong!" Lina looked at Dagu with a bright smile and let out a long sigh of relief, saying: "Ah, I suddenly felt relieved." After saying that, Lina immediately remembered their mission and said quickly: "Dago, we have to leave quickly!"
"Well, okay!" Dagu nodded, and while turning around to leave, he couldn't help but think about a question. What is he fighting for? Before Dagu took two steps, Lina suddenly shouted: "Dagu!" Dagu looked back. I saw Lina standing not far away, looking at Dagu, and said: "Thank you!" After saying that, she quickly ran towards Gate 5.
