Chapter 21: Clouds, Cocoons, and Big Monsters!
At noon on another day, Horii was standing alone on an outer stage at ABP enjoying the moist breeze blowing from the water. "It's so good, I really want to go with them!" A transport plane that had taken off from the headquarters on the side gradually flew into the distance, and Horii leaned against the metal railing and whispered softly.
"Horii, please come to the headquarters!"
"Good!" Megumi Kuma's voice temporarily interrupted Horii's relaxed thoughts.
"Is the information on the clouds out? Ah! I really envy Dr. Mizuno. In this case, his hypothesis may really be proven! Horii, who walked into the command room, didn't notice the solemn expressions of everyone in the command room for a while, and continued to release his relaxed and happy mood. But such a cheerful remark did not get a response from everyone, "Huh? What's wrong? Horii looked at everyone's faces and asked Shinjo, who was standing on the side.
Shinjo silently glanced at Horii without answering.
"The probe plane that Dr. Mizuno was on for the strange clouds has lost its voice!" Megumi Kama, who was sitting in the conductor's seat, gave Horii a not-so-good answer.
"Ahh
"Dagu has already rushed over." Munakata walked over to Horii and told him an update.
"Oh my God! Dr. Mizuno: He's so excited! Horii stiffened his neck, suddenly unwilling to accept the news that bordered on tragedy.
"Command! The weather squad sent a message. The movement of the clouds is a bit strange! Hearing Ye Rui's report, Zong Fang walked quickly to the main computer and looked at the screen, "What's wrong?" ”
Ye Rui went on to report: "The clouds are moving very fast! If you continue like this, you will reach Japan! ”
"Dagu!" Munakata directly asked about what Daiko, who was flying towards the clouds, had seen.
"I'm Dagu. I was already seeing the clouds, which were strange and strange, gradually turning into the shape of a cocoon. "Dagu drove the Feiyan 1 into the clouds.
"Really, I felt something was wrong from the beginning!" The new city is "manic" on the side.
"Doctor, he'......" The ominous feeling in Horii's heart swelled.
"It's possible to dodge!" Munakata replied to Horii's words in a self-muttering voice.
"Impossible!" Horii, who was so depressed and suppressed in his heart that he couldn't stand it, broke out, and a loud cry made everyone in the command room look at the sudden explosion of Horii children's shoes.
After a loud shout, Horii regained his mood and bowed slightly to everyone, "I'm sorry! Dr. Mizuno thinks that cloud might be the Lightning Man's nest! ”
"The Lightning Man's Lair?" Lina tilted her head in confusion.
"Tianyun also heard from Dr. Mizuno that the Lightning Man does not fall to the ground, and is a strange creature that can only live in the air." Horii explained to everyone.
"Live in the air? So how does it survive? And what the hell is that nest for? Scare planes? Xincheng couldn't help but "complain" about Horii's explanation on the side.
"How do I know this? It's just that this cloud never leaves the ionosphere! But ......" Horii was about to explain.
"This cocoon looks like it's alive!" Poor Big Gu Shoe was unable to communicate with the headquarters after sending out the last effective message after fearlessly crashing into the clouds. "Oops! The computer system is strongly disturbed by radio waves! ”
"Dagu Member! Dagu Member! ”
Multiply...... Multiply...... Multiply...... The picture and sound from the No. 1 machine were cut off, and Dagu Children's Shoes lost contact.
"OMG! This cocoon is actually absorbing radio waves! Ye Rui revealed the possible reason for the loss of contact with Feiyan 1.
As soon as Zongfang saw this situation, he decisively ordered: "Lina! Newcastle! Set off in Feiyan 2! ”
"Yes!" *2
Turning around, Munakata looked at Megumi Kazuma, "To what extent is the improvement work of that kid and 'Carrot's Feiyan No. 1 going on now?" Will it be possible to make it to this operation? ”
Megumi thought about it and directly contacted Tianyun, who was improving his special car in the future.
"What! Tracking clouds? So what are you waiting for, just take it as a second test flight! Wiping the beads of sweat from his head, Tianyun took the PDI and got out of the belly of a Feiyan No. 1 plane.
"Tianyun! Sky Cloud! It's very unsafe! Sky Cloud! Sky Cloud! ”
"Oops! Is PDI broken? What did you say, Sister Captain? Forget it, I'll just go straight to it! Tianyun, who deliberately pretended not to be audible, hung up PDI, "Ho ho! Fast! Fast! Robert! Transfer this Feiyan 1 improvement to the flight reserve track, let's test fly again! ”
"No problem!" Robert pulled a relatively large lever, and the Feiyan 1 improved was lifted by the massive lifting platform and sent into the base's take-off orbit.
"Lubut! Wu Qing is included in the phased wash! "Alien" Porter yells at Tianyun and Robert in front of the computer. ("Robert! Hu Qing is still under the plane! ”)
"Hehe, Robert. What is he talking about? Tianyun plucked his ears and looked at Robert.
"Oops, forgot! Sky Cloud! Hu Qing: He's still under the plane! ”
After a period of scramble, Hu Qing, who had been suppressed and held his breath, was dragged out from under the belly of the Feiyan by Tianyun and the others.
"Ugh! That, I'll apologize to Hu Qing next time! Wearing a helmet, Tianyun jumped into the improved single cockpit of Feiyan 1.
"Headquarters Tower! Headquarters Tower! Feiyan 1.1 requests to take off! With a whistling sound, the special aircraft of the Sky Cloud flew rapidly towards the strange cloud.
"There seems to be a strong magnetic field around the cocoon. Don't come near within a kilometer! Munakata reminded Shinjo in the command room.
"Understood!" *2
"Good! Tianyun, you kid still speaks! How dare you disobey the captain's orders! Zong Fang's eyes widened and he looked directly at Tianyun.
[If I listened to you, how could I have caught up with this operation!] 】
"Oops! Sister Captain and Commander, PDI seems to be broken just now, what do you want to say to me in the base? Touching his head, Tianyun continued to use the failure of the PDI communication and contact function as an excuse, intending to fool around.
"Well, it's nothing. Forget it this time. Just when the sect was planning to train Tianyun again, Megumi Kuruma uncharacteristically easily let go of Tianyun's big mistake.
Not noticing the terrifying smile on the corner of the captain's sister's mouth, Tianyun saw that the captain's sister was so good at talking this time, and immediately took the opportunity to ask about the reason for this action.
"So it's very likely that Dr. Mizuno and the Great Ancient Capital are in this cocoon?"
"Well, so be sure to act carefully! Especially you, Tianyun! Munakata reminded loudly in the command room.
"I see! Rest assured, Conductor! Tianyun replied.
"Hmm!"
"When I was in flight school, I once heard from my senior classmates that there were creatures in the sky that humans had never touched, and even said that there was a kind of person named Kremlin who lived in the sky. I thought it was a joke they were playing to scare the freshmen. In Feiyan 2, Lina slowly recounted the rumors she had heard.
"No matter where I am, I don't like creatures on Earth that humans don't know about!"
"Now, New Town. You are clearly extremely racist. After returning to the headquarters, we will do a deep review. Ha ha! ”
"You stinky boy, I'm just casually sending my feelings, and you put such a hat on me!"
"Just kidding! Ease your tension. You see, this cloud has completely turned into a cocoon made of tar! There will also be lightning streams! Tianyun stared at the big cocoon and said, while trying to contact the ABP again, "Sister Captain! Command! Headquarters! Can you hear me? "There was no sound response in the headphones." Uh-huh! Did we fly too close to this big black thing? The contact with the headquarters has been broken again! ”
"Let's be careful, this guy has bad intentions. Just shoot it down and forget it! "The new city is on fire.
"No way!"
"Hey, what kind of bad idea did you come up with in Xincheng, Dagu and they may be in this cocoon!" Lina and Tianyun hurriedly spoke up at the same time to stop Xincheng's suggestion.
“OK! Xincheng tried to contact the headquarters again, and I connected the communication signal to the 'keg', and I should be able to contact the headquarters. Tianyun crackled and banged on the computer in Feiyan 1.1 with one hand.
"'Barrels'? What is it? Lina asked.
"It's that fat white airship flying over Japan right now!" Tianyun replied with his right finger pointing to the top of his head.
In the back seat of plane No. 2, Xincheng contacted the headquarters again. "Command! Can you hear me? ”
"New Town! How are you guys? Are you okay? Munakata, who suddenly heard the voice of the new city, asked anxiously.
"No problem! Everything works! We're still chasing this big guy! ”
"Hoohoo! Command! I'm amazing, I connected the communication signal to the 'keg', and now through the 'keg', the communication won't be greatly affected by this guy's electromagnetic field. Tianyun took this opportunity to hurriedly ask for credit for himself.
However, Zongfang ignored Tianyun's words and touched his chin, "If only I could know the inside of this cloud-like cocoon now." ”
The speaker did not intend to listen to the listener's intention, and Horii thought that the "God Eye" (small unmanned detection aircraft) carried by the probe plane this time might still be working inside the clouds, so Horii quickly walked to the main computer in the command room and operated it on the computer. Since the "Divine Eye" transmits communication through satellites, just like the Tianyun who contacted the command office through the 'wine barrel', the information will not be greatly affected by the interference of electromagnetic fields. However, the information from the "Divine Eye" does not seem to be very good, and the probe and Dagu's Feiyan 1 may have turned into pieces of metal.
"It's falling!" Ye Rui report.
In the Skycloud's sight, the blue electricity around the large black cocoon slid rapidly from the sky to the ground. Boom -- crashed into a clearing on the outskirts of the city.
[Suicide ram attack? Tianyun thought to himself, "Lina, Xincheng!" I'll land first to assist in the evacuation of nearby residents! Keep on your watch. ”
"Got it!" Xincheng just finished answering. Whoa—as the dust cleared after the cocoon fell, a huge monster appeared in front of everyone.
"Well, I knew it wasn't that simple. I thought I could leave it to the children's shoes in the science class to deal with the investigation. Sure enough, it's a big monster again! With a sigh, Tianyun jumped out of the cabin and ran to the nearest residential community in the monster's path to help evacuate the residents.
"A monster has come out of the cocoon, I'm going to attack!"
"Permission to attack!" Munakata ordered.
