Chapter 16: Silence and Encounter
UPC Branch, Command Room.
The room was silent, as if no one was there.
But that's not the case, the four team members who returned safely, as well as Shun Ling who stayed behind, Ihara and Kojima, who were in charge of command, and the Imperial Mystery Book were all there, and everyone was just silent.
The reason for the silence is the shocking and unbelievable scene that is constantly replayed on the big screen.
Galatron gathers his strength in mid-air, a dazzling white on his chest, and here there are pauses and close-ups.
Then, a beam of light shot out of its chest, instantly piercing through Jörmungård's body on the surface of the sea.
In the next second, Jörmungård turned into a statue like a jewel...
The Bourdain team members looked attentive and carefully replayed the recorded video.
Noi looked indifferent, but his hands were clenched into fists, and it could be seen that he was also emotionally unstable.
Muraka, who was originally the most cheerful and lively, also lowered her head this time and looked at the desktop in a daze.
Li Zhenna is even more distracted, not knowing what she is thinking.
The figure on Melba's body...
Could it be the black hand that manipulates the monsters?
Li Zhenna was a little hesitant, what if she was wrong?
Everyone seems to have something on their minds.
After a long silence.
The commander of the island touched his head with only a few hairs left irritably, and according to the message sent by the North American headquarters just now, he said to everyone: "It is very likely that the new mechanical lifeforms will appear again, including the flying monsters that have appeared twice, and the analysis of the flying monsters and the mechanical lifeforms should belong to the same camp."
At present, for us humans, whether these two monsters are friends or enemies still needs to be further understood, which is why everyone still has to cheer up!
I would like to give you some news: the secret weapon developed by the scientific research institute will be officially handed over to UPIC soon, and you can look forward to it! ”
Sure enough, the news of the new weapon attracted everyone's attention.
Seeing the team members cheer up again, Ihara, who was worried on the side, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Commander Kojima smiled even more with satisfaction: "You are all the elite of UPIC, and you are an excellent team member selected from countless top talents, and you have a great responsibility.
That is why you cannot be easily intimidated by difficulties and dangers.
We human beings have gone through many hardships to get to where we are today, and our footsteps have never stood still, so cheer up, you are the most critical line of defense! ”
The words of encouragement were powerful, and the bowl of chicken soup went down, and the team members also showed relaxed smiles again.
As a front-line combatant and witnessing such a formidable enemy, there is still pressure.
Fortunately, people have always had a strong ability to resist pressure, and UPIC's team members are selected at various levels to be competent, so they can recover quickly.
"In the future, the H Marine Base also needs to strengthen its preparedness, incorporate the area into the daily patrol area, and at the same time, give you a half-day off and return to the team tomorrow morning."
Finally, Ihara also smiled with good news.
After the high-intensity battle, there is a pleasant and short vacation.
This is also a special treatment that only UPIC can enjoy.
However, even if it is a holiday, the team members must not travel too far away, so that they can return to the team quickly when there is an urgent task.
But it's also a rare comfort under high pressure.
After the island commander put down his words, he left with the Imperial Mystic Book, needless to say, it was a press conference and many summit meetings.
However, this time, the branch has to explain and deal with the pilot who disobeyed the order, even if this guy has been buried in the sea, it must be investigated to the end.
…
"Oh, your milk tea."
When I returned to the coffee shop and looked at the time, more than three hours had passed.
It's been a long time.
Fortunately, the store is not busy, and Yoshimoto Sakura is a very capable girl, so Hui Xia doesn't have any psychological burden, after all, the other party often goes out to buy snacks, and it's an afternoon when he goes...
"Hmm, thank you Hui Xia-kun~"
After a few days of getting along, Hui Xia has been upgraded from "Sang" to "Jun".
There is no difference between the Sushimoto of this world and the Sushimoto of the previous life in terms of titles.
Commonly used are roughly "mulberry", "sauce", and "jun", of which mulberry is considered a panacea, which is probably the name of Mr. and Ms. in Chinese.
In the case of sauce, it is someone who is closer, such as a sister calling her brother, a husband calling his wife, and a friend who is more familiar.
Jun is more similar to San, but it is more respectful, and it can also be used to express some special emotions, such as Sakura Kokage calling Sasuke-kun...
So, now that you have reached a "friendly" relationship with the eldest lady of the Yoshimoto family?
Karuxia shrugged, "You're welcome, Sakura." ”
However, according to Hui Xia's habit, he still called the other party by name directly.
"It's still the same, Sakura-chan."
A somewhat familiar voice, accompanied by the push of a glass door.
The corners of Hui Xia's mouth twitched.
When I turned around, sure enough, it was the woman again.
Li Zhenna noticed the man in front of her, her pupils shrank slightly, and she found a place to sit down casually.
"Okay, Mana-chan~"
Sakura notices the arrival of her friend and looks very happy.
Even the amount of coffee given to the other party is obviously 100 million points more.
Don't ask Hui Xia how he knows, because he brought it over.
That amount, Huo, is twice as big as others.
Sweets are also included for free...
Sakura, the loser.
I don't know why, seeing this guy who feels very cold, Hui Xia always feels uncomfortable.
Fortunately, this time the other party didn't notice him much.
It wasn't until Hui Xia put down the last dessert that the woman finally spoke, "Can you sit down and talk?" ”
There was only one guest in the café at this time.
So her voice reached Sakura's ears as she was about to come over to catch up with her friends.
Sakura Yoshimoto's brisk pace came to an abrupt halt.
Did I hear me right?
Mana-chan is inviting a man?
Well, it's her spring coming!
Then I'd better not go over.
Sakura, who was going to leave a private space for the two of them, quietly returned to the cash register and pretended to tidy up the counter casually, but her ears seemed to be shaking.
It's like a rabbit ear popping out of the grass, as if scratched.
"Clams?"
Hui Xia was stunned for a moment.
I didn't hesitate.
Sit across from the woman.
"My name is Ri Mana."
"My name is Yuan Hui Xia..."
Hui Xia twisted her body a little uncomfortably.
Even though he knew it was rude.
But this kind of development is a bit like a blind date, hey!
"Yuanhui Xia..."
Lizhena, who was going to ask the man if he was in the H sea area at the time, was stunned when he heard the name.
She stared at Hui Xia carefully for a moment.
Then he asked with some hesitation: "Do you know Mr. Yuan Songmian?" ”
"Huh? I am an adopted child of Mr. Gen. ”
Hui Xia was a little uncomfortable staring at her, but when she heard the woman ask, she subconsciously replied.
"You also know Uncle Yuan?"
Noticing that the woman was a little surprised to hear her answer, Hui Xia asked suspiciously.
"Don't you really know me, I'm Nana!"
Reina bit her lip, her cold face full of surprise.
Excited, she even patted the table, got up slightly, supported her hands, the perfect arc of her upper body was moving, her pretty face was puffing, and she asked with wide eyes.
"Nana? …”
Hui Xia suddenly felt a little familiar.
Staring at each other's faces.
The more I looked, the more surprised I became.
Gradually, it began to overlap with a face in my memory...
"You, you've changed too much, haven't you?!"
Hui Xia was stunned.
Nana is a sister who was two years older than herself when she met in the orphanage.
But in my impression, Sister Nana is black and dry... Looks like a tomboy.
Later, when they were about seven or eight years old, they went to different schools.
That's when the connection was broken.
But now.
This beautiful and moving face.
Although there is still a vague shadow of childhood...
But it's incredible, isn't it?!
The key is the UPIC team!
I've heard that they're all rich...
Borrow later...
Ah, bad thoughts.
"Haha, I didn't expect it to be you."
"Damn, you didn't recognize me!"
Rei Zhenna squinted her eyes and smiled beautifully.
She patted Hui Xia on the shoulder rather boldly.
The excitement also instantly infected Hui Xia, who was a little hesitant.
"I didn't expect that..."
"The eighteen changes of the female college are too exaggerated..."
…
"Huh? What is this unfolding? Large-scale recognition site..."
Sakura Yoshimoto, who was eavesdropping, looked confused.
Until noticing the cheerful smile on Rei Manna's face that she had never seen before.
She smiled comfortably.
Maybe I should be happy to find my "relatives" again.
