Chapter 68
A long night passed in the aftermath of the disaster, with the ruins lit all night and survivors digging out of collapsed buildings.
Shouts echoed in the night.
On a tall building near the ruins, Xia Long stood firmly on the edge of the rooftop, allowing the cold wind to invade.
"Dragon!" When the group climbed the rooftop, they saw Xia Long at a glance.
"Captain, I didn't protect everyone." Turning around and seeing the group slowly walking to his side, Xia Long said apologetically.
The difficulty of the battle made him too late to think about anything else, and if he had owned the domain in the first place, the damage would not have been so great......
"You've done your best," Tuan patted Xia Long on the shoulder, looked at the bustling lights on the ground, and said, "If it were me, I wouldn't have been able to do this." ”
Several warplanes whizzed overhead, and a huge column of searchlight lingered on the two of them for a moment before falling back into the rubble.
Looking up at the fighter plane, Tuan pointed to the ongoing rescue operation under the searchlight and encouraged: "The light of hope for mankind will not be extinguished, dragon, one day, you can bring peace to mankind!" ”
"Hmm." Nodding, Xia Long thought thoughtfully.
No one knows the outcome from the beginning, so they can only do their best to fight, and even if they fail in the end, they can say loudly that at least they have tried.
"I'm the one who won now, and I'm going to continue to win in the future!"
If we win, there will be hope and peace.
……
At the headquarters of the Defense Forces, Sakata looked at the surveillance screen flashing by the screen, pressed to pause the playback, and found that it was Xia Long and the others standing on the roof of the building.
"Human ......" looked at Xia Long's smile in the picture, and Sakata's voice was gloomy.
Dark Leo had been completely destroyed by Xia Long, and he was only given a black smoke recording the information of the battle footage, which forced his original plan to be aborted.
Since the beginning of Obayashi, he has possessed his current body, planning to borrow the power of the defense army, and then gather the energy of all the monsters in this world to complete the resurrection plan. It's just that he didn't expect that during the preparation process, he would be found abnormally by the MAC team, and unexpected things happened one after another, so he had to use Dark Leo in advance.
"Da-da-" Sakata walked to the basement, the closed door opening in both directions as he approached, a black lightning bolt crackling through the door.
"How's it going?" Looking up at a huge machine, Sakata asked in a cold voice.
"Director, it should be soon......" reported a researcher in a white lab coat.
"I remember you said the same thing before!" A black light flashed in Sakata's eyes, if it weren't for the fact that the person in front of him still had some effect, he would have killed him immediately.
"Yes, yes," the scientist said embarrassedly, unaware of the danger, "and now the level of human technology is really limited, and there is almost no research on this supernatural power...... Moreover, I don't know what happened, and my energy has plummeted since just now......"
In the large underground space, there is a machine that is even larger than Ultraman, and under the operation, countless black smoke converges from the unknown space into a ball of energy surrounded by black lightning in the middle.
"I'll find a way to deal with energy, stop energy collection for now, and do my best to complete other projects," Sakata frowned, during the battle with Xia Long, Dark Leo called too much energy, "As long as the plan is successful, humanity will usher in a new future, and then even if it doesn't rely on Ultraman, humanity will be able to protect the earth!" ”
"Yes!" The researcher excitedly replied and re-entered his working position.
"Human ......" looked at the waves of busy staff, and the corners of Sakata's mouth rose.
……
"Yesterday evening, the fifth victim was found in the city of March......"
On this day, more than half a month has passed since the disaster, and after a period of calm, the incident happened again, and every time in the dead of night, there were always strange noises, and within a few days, several young women were killed in succession.
Shortly after receiving the report, the regiment concentrated its members in the command room.
"It's all young women," the regiment scanned the team, "and the autopsy report said that every time the case occurred, there was not even a drop of blood left on the female corpse. ”
"Like a vampire?" Xia Long's eyes froze.
March City, Vampire ......
This seems to be an incident in the original book, but it's been too long, and he can't remember the plot clearly, only that what appeared was a wolf-shaped monster.
"Well," Tuan nodded and continued, "although no one has seen the creature's body with their own eyes, some people say that they have heard a sound that is like the howl of a wolf. ”
"How is this possible?" Aoshima was surprised, "The wolves in Japan have long been extinct!" ”
"That's true," Tuan glanced at Qingdao and mused, "if you think so......
Tuan was silent for a moment, then suddenly raised his head.
"You can't go wrong, it's the Wolfe!"
"The legendary ...... who specializes in sucking human blood Wolfe? Junko Shirakawa on the side said in a trembling voice.
"Yes, it sucks the blood of young girls!" Tuan pointed at Shirakawa and continued, "Normally, it appears as a human being, and when he is short of blood and needs to suck human blood, it reverts to the appearance of a wolf. ”
"Captain," Seeing that several female team members, especially Ayumi, were frightened, Xia Long got up and said, "I'll go solve it!" ”
After having the domain, Xia Long has a lot of confidence, and he no longer has to worry about Zaki making ghosts. Moreover, in the past half a month, his strength has been steadily improving, and his physical fitness has caught up with that of a cosmic person, even if he fights with monsters in human form, it is not a problem.
"Huh?" Tuan looked at Xia Long, who was standing up, and said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, I don't know the whereabouts of the Wolf Star people yet...... In this way, everyone will patrol separately and then make plans! ”
"Yes!"
Xia Long nodded awkwardly, indeed, I don't know the whereabouts of the monster, and it's useless to be anxious.
After disbanding the team members, the regiment left the command room with Xia Long.
"Dragon, it's up to you to be the acting captain during this time."
"Captain?" Xia Long paused, even if he has the power of Ultraman, it doesn't mean that he can be the captain, "Captain, vice captain, they ......"
"No one is better suited than you!" Tuan interrupted, "You only need to ensure the safety of the team members, and I will arrange for them to assist in handling other matters." ”
"Yes." Xia Long promised that if he just wanted to ensure the safety of his teammates, he was indeed more suitable.
However, this time......
After thinking about it, Xia Long opened his mouth and asked, "Captain, why did you suddenly say such things, is something wrong?" ”
"Well," Tuan nodded, "since the last investigation was stopped because of Dark Leo, the strange events have disappeared, but I don't think it's that simple. ”
"The captain is suspicious of the Guards?" Xia Long asked.
He also felt that since the problem with Obayashi Zhangshi, the defense force was weird, but he didn't know what Zaki's plan was and what it had to do with the defense army.
"Yes, during this time, I have also arranged an investigation in private, but there is no result at all," Tuan touched his chin and said, "So, the key is still the basement last time, if you go in and take a look, maybe everything will surface!" ”
Basement?
Xia Long frowned, unless he broke through, otherwise according to the current situation, he would not be able to enter at all.
"Captain, I'll go talk to the director in person!" Xia Long begged, "As Ultraman, I don't think the director will refuse, but if it doesn't, I'll break into ......."
"Don't be impulsive!" Tuan waved his hand and said, "The enemy is not that simple, and besides, I'm not sure if there is a problem with that basement, maybe it's just a trap deliberately set by the enemy!" ”
After thinking about it carefully for a while, the regiment continued: "Now even the director may be controlled by the enemy, I'll try to see if I can understand the situation through other means, and the MAC team will be handed over to you for the time being!" ”
"Yes!"
