Chapter 43: After the war

In the darkness, I couldn't see anything, I couldn't hear anything, I couldn't touch anything, I was alone, in this silent world, walking forward step by step, as if I was looking for something, and as if I couldn't do anything, I could only walk forward so aimlessly.

until you reach the next place of light

......

———————————————

Chiba Makoto, who was groggy and asleep, heard a noisy sound, sometimes strong and sometimes weak, I don't know how long it has been, and suddenly opened his eyes, and what greeted him was pure white, and he was lying flat on the soft bed...

Chiba Makoto came to his senses in an instant, sat up suddenly, and touched the chest where the divine light stick was placed with his right hand, but touched the gauze, only to find that the clothes on his upper body were missing.

"When you wake up, you have to move gently, burns are very troublesome, and if you are not careful, you will leave scars." A crisp female voice sounded on the right side, and Makoto Chiba turned her head to see that a young girl in a TPC nurse's uniform was walking over with a tray of medicine and gauze and placing the tray on the table next to the bed.

"Mayumi?!" Chiba Makoto recognized this young and beautiful girl at a glance, it was actually the sister of Xincheng, then this is TPC's medical tent, but before he fell asleep, it was clear...

"Well, my clothes and... What about the rest? "Makoto Chiba only cares about the Kamiko stick that he keeps in the inner pocket of his coat.

"It's all here." Mayumi bent down from under the camp bed and took out a plastic bag containing Makoto Chiba's shirt, keys, and mobile phone.

"Thank you!" Chiba Makoto hurriedly took it over, and was relieved when he felt the divine light stick in his clothes, and then he had the heart to observe the surroundings, the tent where he was about ten square meters, and there were four hospital beds, and the clothes were all injured citizens.

It's good that you don't get preferential treatment.

Makoto Chiba completely relaxed, it would be bad if he had a tent alone and a professional nurse.

Mayumi took her duties as a nurse very seriously, telling Makoto Chiba how many pills to take each time, what to pay attention to to prevent infection in the burned area, and if it was serious, she had to go to the hospital as soon as possible... In conclusion, the burns on the chest are not serious and do not require hospitalization.

After explaining the precautions, I asked Makoto Chiba again if there was anything else he didn't feel well?

After Makoto Chiba shook his head, he picked up two pieces of paper and a pen on the tray and asked him to sign after reading them, which presumably said that he had received free medical care from TPC as a victim of the disaster, and that his injuries or conditions were minor and did not require further treatment.

After signing, Mayumi took one and left one, and then told him that he could rest for a while, and if he was hungry, lunch was being distributed outside, and then he picked up the tray and politely left to go to the next tent.

Without any superfluous words, the patient and the nurse communicate directly and normally.

After she left, Chiba Makoto quickly opened the plastic bag and saw with his own eyes that the Shenguang stick was still there, so he carefully put on his clothes and walked out of the tent with the medicine for treating burns and anti-infection.

Outside the tents, TPC staff and medical staff hurriedly walked back and forth, helping the affected citizens, not only to treat the injured, but also to arrange temporary shelter and food and clothing for those who had lost their homes.

There is no need to ask people, you can find a place to eat by smelling the smell, many people are queuing up to receive a boxed lunch, and then find a place to solve lunch by themselves, squatting and standing, with different postures.

Everyone was eating, talking, and some even cursed loudly for the Cosmic Man and Ultraman who made them lose their house, and the Kiri Elrod people only burned down one gymnasium, and then the battle between Kiri Ellord and Ultraman Tiga destroyed nearly ten buildings.

Hundreds of people have been left homeless, their belongings have been crushed under the rubble and burned to ashes, many of them have borrowed money to buy houses and cars, and now everything is gone, except for themselves.

Extreme sadness made the food in their hands unfragrant, hiding in the corner wiping tears, no place to live, no ability to buy a house, what to do in the future, only to feel that the future life is gloomy, there is no hope.

Chiba Makoto listened to the surrounding discussions and even suppressed sobs, although his stomach was rumbling with hunger, but the food tasted like chewing wax, he could understand the feelings of these people, the house bought with half his life savings became a pile of ruins, this heavy blow can knock a strong, optimistic person down, and he has been slumped ever since.

"I'm sorry!" Chiba Cheng said silently in his heart, hurriedly finished the box lunch, and quickly left the square full of frustration, despair, sadness and even resentment.

Not far from the square, there are the 'relics' of last night's battle, the buildings that he and the Kirielrod people have crashed into, some of them have completely collapsed, some have collapsed most of them, only the crumbling half of the building remains, a large amount of masonry and rubble has piled up, and a large number of construction vehicles are clearing the rubble in preparation for future reconstruction.

These ruins are in stark contrast to the clean and tidy high-rise buildings around them, like a beautiful city, with ugly scabies, which look particularly dazzling.

This is the battle, the brutal and merciless battle of life and death.

Ultraman's battle is not only about his own survival, but also affects thousands of people, if he can pay a little more attention to the battle against the Kiri Elrod people, and one less building will collapse, he can save many people from losing their warm homes.

Chiba Makoto sighed slightly, subconsciously raised his hand and touched the divine light stick on his chest, and somehow thought of a sentence in his mind: "Ultraman is definitely not a god, no matter how hard he tries, there are both lives that cannot be saved, and ideas that cannot be achieved." ”

"Protector of the earth, am I up to the task? Can I guide humanity into the future? Makoto Chiba muttered under his breath, and eventually all his words turned into a sigh, and he turned away from the ruins and blended into the crowd.

The intersection near the ruins was blocked by traffic patrol officers and TPC personnel, but the surrounding roads were still crowded with pedestrians and vehicles, and those affected by the disaster were sad and took a long time to get out.

But others still have to continue to live and work normally, full of enthusiasm and hope, for tomorrow.

The world will not be unable to function because of anyone, and the earth will not stop functioning because of anyone.

On the overpass, a young woman dressed in a fashionable OL costume stopped in the crowd and stared at the place where the Kirielrod had been defeated.

Finally, he glanced in the direction where Makoto Chiba had disappeared, and then continued to walk forward, and soon disappeared.
