Chapter 23: A Monster That Doesn't Deserve Sympathy
The monster was destroyed, and the scattered villagers boldly approached the quarry, asking when the quarry could be re-mined, and concerned about the whereabouts of the missing miners, even if they were turned into stones, so that they could give a certificate so that they could have a funeral, and then talk about compensation.
The people at TPC had to continue to explain that although the monster had been eliminated, it still needed to be confirmed safe before it could be opened, and as for the miners...
The staff didn't know what to say, there was a big explosion, another monster came out of the hole, and there were three behemoths tossing back and forth for a minute or two, the mine had already collapsed, and they wanted to find the missing miners, I was afraid that they would have to turn over several mountains.
This workload is too great, it is estimated that it is thousands of people, hundreds of engineering vehicles, and it takes several months to do it, and it may not be able to be done.
I can only respond casually, and I will try my best to find it, but if I don't do my best anyway, that's all.
The victory team also landed on the ground, assisting the police department in the defense, waiting for the follow-up troops to come over, so that the Feiyan No. 1 could be repaired or hoisted back before leaving.
Together, the discussion was naturally the third appearance of the giant, Lina said excitedly, she thanked the giant, the response was received, thinking that the giant can understand human language and can communicate, Dagu helped on the side, unconditionally agreed with Lina's opinion.
The rest of the people couldn't say anything against it, but today the giant saved Feiyan No. 1 and helped Feiyan No. 2 block the petrified light, which would be really ungrateful if the other party was not a friend.
"It would be great if we could communicate," Xincheng said excitedly, "The giant controls the monster, and then we attack, and we are no longer afraid of the monster." ”
Lina was about to say something, when she suddenly saw a person outside the TPC blockade line shooting something with a camera, and after a closer look, it was the guy who leaked the secret yesterday and caused TPC to be attacked and concealed the truth, and suddenly said unhappily: "Why is that person here?" ”
"Who?" Everyone in the victory team looked at Lina's line of sight, and saw a teenager with a large backpack holding a camera, as if he saw the people of the victory team and pointed the camera at them.
"It's him." Horii recognized the boy as the climber from the last time he was in the Land of Tiga, but how did he get to this island?
"Dagu, Xincheng, you go over and ask." Munakata ordered.
"Yes!"
Before leaving, Shinjo said to Horii proudly, "Look, I'm not the one who scares people." ”
"What do you mean by that?"
"Think about it with your brain."
Chiba Makoto had already seen the members of the victory team, and according to the experience taught by Onoda, before approaching the quarry, he replaced the camera with a new memory card, so as not to take away important photos, so he dared to take pictures there with a big grin.
Xincheng, who is in a good mood, also has a leisurely mood to greet Chiba Makoto: "Why did you come here?" ”
Chiba Makoto shook the camera, pointed to the document hanging on his body, and said, "I wanted to find big news, but I saw bigger news." ”
Xincheng stepped forward to take a look, and said in surprise: "You are actually a reporter?" ”
At such an age, he became a reporter, and at his age, he was still flying in flight school flying planes around the sky all day long, so he seemed to be better than him.
"Thanks to Melba, its photos allowed me to exchange these things, so when I heard that there were monsters on this island, I immediately ran over, after all, this is the scoop, and the most valuable."
Hearing this, Da Gu hurriedly asked, "I heard?" Who are you listening to? ”
Chiba Makoto didn't answer this question, but said in surprise, "You don't think Gakuma just appeared recently, do you?" ”
The straight-talking Xincheng immediately said, "Isn't it? ”
"Of course not," Makoto Chiba pulled out his notebook, turned the first page, and said, "There has been a legend of Gakuma on the island for a long time, and according to the old people's recollections, a long time ago, Gakuma was regarded as a guardian beast by the people of the island.
Because Gakuma only eats stones, people and monsters have always lived together on this island for a long, long time. ”
Dagu glanced at the notebook in Chiba Makoto's hand and asked, "Can I take a look?" ”
"You can take it, but give me a copy, and I'll use it to write a press release." Makoto Chiba said and handed it to Dagu.
Da Gu thanked him, opened it, and browsed through the story of Gakuma at a glance.
Chiba Makoto looked at the fragments in the quarry and said, "Gakuma has lived here before humans appeared on the island, and then humans moved to the island, and people in ancient times were able to coexist with Gakuma with reverence for nature and creatures, and now, Gakuma has been wiped out by humans, and this island belongs to humans completely." ”
Xincheng looked at Chiba Makoto who was full of emotion in surprise, how could he look like an old man at a young age, and said, "You can't be sympathetic to the monster, right?" ”
The words are full of surprise, as if I heard that the onion lover squatted in the ground to protect the green onion, I feel like a madman or a fool, didn't I was scared by the monster before my legs were weak, sitting on the ground, and now I sympathize with the monster?
Even Da Gu raised his head, equally unable to comprehend 'sympathy for such a terrible, such a huge monster'.
Chiba Makoto turned his head to avoid Da Gu's gaze, looked at the barren mountain that had been half excavated, and said, "I'm not sympathetic to the monster, I'm just feeling the strength of the human race, such an ancient creature has been wiped out..."
"That's a monster." "We are protecting the inhabitants of the island, this monster will turn animals into stones and eat them, and if we don't destroy him, the inhabitants of the island will be in danger," Shinjo emphasized. ”
Chiba Makoto took the notebook handed over by Dagu, stuffed it back into his backpack, and said, "The residents of the island will thank you, and I will also write their thanks into a press release and take my leave." ”
After saying that, Makoto Chiba walked in the direction of the dock with his backpack on his back, he wanted to leave here, and he also wanted to go home and have a good rest, he was too tired.
Da Gu looked at Chiba Makoto, who was walking with his back to them, and Xincheng patted Da Gu on the shoulder and said, "Let's go, I really didn't expect that there are still people who think monsters are pitiful." ”
The two of them returned to Zongfang's side and informed them of the content of the inquiry they had just asked, and Dagu also roughly told the story captured by the camera he carried on his helmet.
Lina also used PDI to call up Chiba Makoto's itinerary to take a plane or a ship all the way to the island, and after looking at the date, Lina said, "After Dagu and I left, he came here."
Zongfang was looking at the notebook photo recorded by Dagu, and when he heard Lina's words, he said, "It seems that it is necessary to investigate." ”
Xincheng said on the side: "But I really didn't expect that the monster would turn the animal into stone before eating it, isn't this a superfluous move?" ”
Dagu guessed baselessly: "Maybe it tastes better?" ”
"Who knows, it's a monster after all." Zong Fang sighed with emotion and ordered the team to return to the base.
