"The mayor of Furuizumi, a suburb of Tokyo, grows a huge plant! Aoba, you set off first in the Alpha; Asuka rushes from the ground to its destination in a Sailette patrol car! You two, don't be angry this time! Do you understand? Captain Hibi's voice came from the communicator. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Understood!" Aoba answered and walked towards the Alpha.

"But, Captain. Why don't you let me fly the Alpha? Asuka asked with a depressed expression.

"Stupid!"

Captain Hibi looked at the birds on the screen and yelled, "Don't give me verbosity, hurry up!" Otherwise, I'll really fire you this time! ”

"Ah~ don't, Captain. Ahem~ Asuka is now on its way! Asuka grinned and said to Captain Kibi, and raised his middle finger at Aoba, who was already on the Alpha and ready to go, and Aoba stretched out his thumb at the same time, and then rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise and slammed down.

Both of them saw each other's provocative actions and snorted unconvinced. The Alpha, piloted by Aoba, is heading for take-off orbit; Asuka hurried to the garage where the Ceret patrol car was parked......

When Aoba arrived at the Guquan City area with the Alpha heading towards Furuquan City at full speed, he could already see through the window of the machine that the giant plant that Captain Kibi was talking about, that is, the giant mushroom-like substance that covered almost the entire Furuquan City.

"Wow~ It's so big! But what is it? Aoba, who was flying along the giant mushroom-shaped object on the Alpha, looked through the window at the colorful surface and marveled, and then muttered to himself again, not knowing what the giant mushroom-like body in front of him was.

In outer space, a mobile base is floating above the Earth, and this mobile base is the symbol of the New Frontier Era Program that TPC is promoting, the Kurakhu NF-3000.

The Kulakov mobile base is a mobile base that can go to the sky above the scene of the appearance of monsters mainly in space, and play the role of a super-guts forward base, and it is currently under the command of members of Koda.

"So far, there has been no dynamic reaction." Through the analysis of the information from the mobile base that moved to the sky over Furuquan City, one of the TPC staff members reported to Koda, who is now the head of the mobile base.

"Aoba, go collect some samples and come back!" After listening to the staff's report, Koda connected to the communication of the Alpha and gave the latest instructions to Aoba, and also specially instructed: "Although the Phorgas seems to be delicious, don't eat it~"

"Phorgas?" Hearing Koda's special instruction to call "Phogas", Aoba expressed his confusion in confusion.

"It's the English word for poisonous mushroom, that guy's code name." Seeing that Aoba didn't know what "Fergas" meant, Koda immediately replied to Aoba seriously.

"Understood!"

"Team Koda, what about me?" Asuka who rushed to the scene as fast as he could asked Koda over the radio, but this time Asuka learned to keep the speed of the Sailet patrol car at the limit speed limit.

"You're responsible for checking to see if there are any citizens around you who haven't evacuated!"

"Ah~Okay......"

Asuka, who originally wanted to complain, saw Koda's serious expression and had to accept his fate.

--Dividing Line--

In the super-guts command room, everyone was also watching the image of the giant Phogas transmitted from the mobile base on the large screen.

"Aoba, don't be careless just because it's a plant." Looking at the brightly colored surface of Fergas on the screen, Kaiya reminded Aoba out loud, and Captain Kibi, who was standing aside, nodded in agreement.

"I said, mushrooms don't have chlorophyll, so they're not plants! That's the spores of fungi. Hearing Kaya's classification of mushrooms as plants, Nakajima immediately retorted to Kaya, and Captain Kibi nodded in agreement with him as if he didn't understand.

"Spores?" He asked curiously.

"That's right, now in the biological kingdom, there are many that belong to neither animals nor plants, but to third lifeforms." Hearing Ryo's question, Nakajima immediately gushed out the knowledge he was referring to as if he had opened a conversation, "Actually, the body is the mycelium in the soil, and the entity of the mushroom is the fruit, which is just an organ to spread spores. ”

"It's been a long time since it's been a matsutake mushroom......," Kamiya sighed impatiently as he leaned lazily against the guardrail in the command room as he listened impatiently to Nakajima's chattering intellectual remarks.

"I can't afford to eat anyway, and the salary is just a little bit~"

As soon as Kaiya's words fell, Mai appeared just right and complained, and Kaiya, Nakajima and Yoshiya nodded in agreement with Mai Midorikawa's words. And the embarrassed Captain Xibi could only cough a few times at this time, pretending not to hear......

On the other hand

Due to the instructions of Koda, who was in the mobile base, Aoba immediately drove the Alpha to a short distance from the giant Fergas, and then stepped out of the Alpha to go to the interior of Fergas to collect samples for study.

Armed with a Black machine gun, Aoba stepped out of the Alpha and walked towards the giant mushroom Fergas, which was not far in front of him. It wasn't until Aoba walked into the coverage of Fugas that he was surprised to find that the extent to which Fugas City was covered by Fugas was far beyond Aoba imagined. Everywhere there is a large amount of mycelium spreading from Fergas, some of which break through the ground and cover the ground at random, and some that are directly wound around the columnar buildings, and there are traces of mycelium everywhere as far as the eye can see.

Armed with a Black machine gun, Aoba cautiously roams the mycelium-occupied city of Furuquan, ready for a possible attack.

"What is this?" Aoba who was wandering around the city of Furuquan looked at the mycelium that was all over the city, and asked questions about the communicator in his helmet for some reason, and at the same time curiously wanted to reach out and touch the mycelium closest to him.

"Don't touch it!"

Before Aoba could touch the mycelium, Nakajima's shouts suddenly came from the communicator, stopping Aoba's reckless behavior in time.

"If it's a mushroom. If you touch its mycelium, it will grow mushrooms! Nakajima, in the super-guts command room, explained to the curious Aoba why he couldn't touch the mycelium.

"Huh?!"

Aoba on the screen in the command room also looked at his hand with palpitations when he heard this, glad that he had not touched the mycelium.

And at this moment, the screen image in the super-guts command room was suddenly unstable, and then directly turned into a snowflake point, and the communication with Aoba who was inside the "Phogas" was also inexplicably interrupted!

"What's going on?"

Looking at the screen dotted with snowflakes, Captain Kibi looked at Mai Midorikawa, the correspondent in charge of this area, and asked aloud, after all, it is not a good thing to let the impulsive Aoba act alone in this situation, and another more reckless Asuka has just entered the "Phogas".

Captain Hibi's voice fell, and the screen that had been covered with snowflakes dimmed without warning, and then was covered in dense lettering, and finally, as had happened to the previous building, only the words "Goodbye, Human" were displayed.

"Mai, bring up the video footage of Guquan City." The words displayed on the screen, Captain Kibi, didn't know what the situation was, so he looked back at Mai Midorikawa, an expert in this area, and said.

"No, the computer has been hacked!"

Mai Midorikawa tapped the keyboard desperately, but then turned around to answer Captain Hibi's words, then looked at the situation displayed on the computer screen in front of her, looked back at Captain Hibi again with a anxious expression and said, "All external communication has been completely cut off!" ”

"Okay......" Hearing Mai Midorikawa's answer, Captain Kibi understood the emergency situation that the Super-Guts were facing now, and immediately made an emergency combat deployment, "Nakajima Kaiya piloted the Beta, and Ryo drove the Gamma to the scene!" However, the headquarters is not able to provide any assistance at this time! Be careful......"

"Understood!"

Nakajima, Kaya, and Ryoshi immediately straightened their postures, and then replied with a firm thumbs up to Captain Kibi. Then, in accordance with the operational deployment of Captain Hibi, they drove the Beta and the Gamma towards Guquan City respectively.

-- Dividing line --

Due to the loss of contact with headquarters, Aoba and Asuka can now only move freely.

Just as Aoba was cautiously exploring the situation of Guquan City, which was occupied by mycelium, he suddenly felt that a place wrapped in mycelium seemed to be constantly emitting some kind of energy fluctuations.

"Is it there?"

Aoba looked at the dense mycelium and walked forward without fear......

At the same time, Asuka, who was looking for Aoba's figure, suddenly noticed that there seemed to be movement behind him.

"You, it's dangerous here, go and evacuate!" When Asuka turned around, he only saw a figure quickly hiding behind the pillar, and Asuka, who thought it was a survivor of Guquan City, immediately shouted at the "person".

However, in response to Asuka's kind reminder, the figure did not seem to appreciate it, and continued to hide behind the pillar without the slightest intention of showing up. Seeing this, Asuka was puzzled and wanted to go forward to persuade him, but at the moment when Asuka walked to the pillar and was puzzled because he didn't find a human figure, a cloud of mycelium appeared behind Asuka and quickly coalesced into a strange-looking humanoid creature.

As soon as the strange-looking humanoid creature condensed and formed, it immediately turned its right arm into a mycelium tentacle, and quickly strangled his neck from behind the bird while the bird was distracted......
