Early the next morning, the headquarters of the Victory Team.

When Dagu hurriedly returned to the headquarters after receiving the news, the big members of the victory team had already assembled in the control room.

"Dagu, you're late again!"

Smiling from behind Da Gu, Xincheng stretched out his hand to the other party's shoulder.

Da Gu, who had long been accustomed to Xincheng's behavior, was not frightened at all, but decisively grabbed with a backhand, trying to control the opponent's arm.

"You want to sneak up on me again?"

"Don't forget, I'm the champion of our team."

In just a few breaths, Xincheng and Dagu had already fought several times.

The two of them reacted quickly and had rich fighting skills, so they looked at Horii on the side.

This kind of small-scale tossing and turning and grappling is not really experienced in combat, and it is impossible for a fighter to do such a weightlift.

"Don't make a fuss, this time it's business!"

Lina, who passed directly between the two and stopped the two sides from continuing to fight, whispered.

"Dagu, where did you hear the urban legend of the 'Steel Plate Kamen Man'?"

"If you hadn't reminded me in advance, I'm afraid last night's loss would definitely not be as small as it is now."

Hearing this, Horii also showed a curious expression.

"Yes, those 'steel plate masked men' appeared as if they appeared out of thin air, without any warning at all."

"And why did they fight the bird-like monsters that appeared last night?"

"It's not at all in line with the urban legend of 'Steel Plate Kamen Man'."

couldn't help but blink his eyelids, Dagu, who was not very good at lying, hesitated for a moment, and finally could only change the topic as quickly as before.

"I just heard such an urban legend when I went home yesterday, and I didn't really pay much attention to it......

"Speaking of which, did you get anything out of last night?"

As expected, Horii's attention was suddenly diverted.

"There is no gain, and the disappearance of those 'steel plate masked people' is as sudden as their appearance."

"There was no useful wreckage left at the site......"

"Instead, in the alley where the noise came from at the beginning, we found some traces that looked like they had been blasted by some kind of explosive."

"There is no gunpowder residue, and there is no energy index, it should be a special armament similar to the 'air cannon'."

After a slight pause in his tone, Horii continued to analyze.

"Also, we had some unexpected discoveries about the bird-type monster that fought the 'Steel Plate Kamento' last night."

"It's a demon bird called 'Zoga', which is said to be a pioneer monster before darkness descends."

"On some of the frescoes that record the deeds of the ancients, they appear in groups, and there seems to be some kind of strict hierarchy inside."

"It's unclear if they are beings with the same intelligence as humans......"

"The only thing that is certain is that there is a high probability that the 'prophecy' of the head of the ultra-ancient garrison regiment is true."

Although the ultra-ancient time machine from 30 million years ago has long since disappeared.

But the prophecies left by the other party have always been a heart disease on the head of the winning team.

Now that even the Demon Bird Zoga, known as the "Dark Pioneer", has appeared, does it mean that the arrival of the "Final Darkness" is not far away?

……………………………………………………………………………………………………

Five minutes later, when Captain Megumi was the last to walk into the control room.

The Victory team finally officially convened to summarize and report on last night's battle.

In addition to the most basic financial losses of personnel, most of the focus of the meeting was on the "steel plate masked man".

This mechanical life form is obviously different from ordinary monsters, and its existence is more like some kind of extraterrestrial life dropped on Earth.

Although it is not clear for the time being, the purpose of the other party's "steel plate masquerade" is not clear.

But through a series of actions of the other party last night, it can basically be judged that it belongs to the category of the enemy.

In particular, the practice of erasing all iconic technologies and only giving the "steel plate masked man" the most basic abilities is clearly not to let humans discover their own civilization.

"Ye Rui, report on the results of last night's data analysis."

When Zongfang, who was in charge of presiding over the meeting, said this, Ye Rui immediately put his analysis report on the big screen in the control room.

"Understood!"

"According to the traces left at the scene, those 'steel plate masked people' are made of a special nanostructure."

"Under normal conditions, this nanostructured material is scattered in the air, somewhat similar to dust dust, but can follow a certain signal to act."

"When this abnormal electrical signal is strengthened to a certain extent, these nanostructured materials will be reassembled into miniaturized individual states."

I saw Ye Rui as he spoke, while unfolding and enlarging the miniaturized Gobun Kiga model.

"These small instances have only one shell, and the inside is hollow ......"

"But each of these miniaturized individual structures can be used as a microcomputer on its own."

"In other words, simply destroying these miniaturized individuals is useless, and they are still quite functional."

"On this basis, these miniaturized individuals can be further transformed into gigantic forms."

"This gigantic form has a similar appearance to a small entity, but in essence it is a collection of some kind of huge energy source."

"If this powerful energy source is allowed to explode in the middle of the city, it will produce an explosion that will affect all buildings and terrain within a radius of thousands of miles."

As if afraid that everyone wouldn't understand what this meant, Ye Rui also improvised a video of the explosion and played it.

"That is, this is a walking self-detonating bomb?"

Keenly grasping the key to it, Dagu's eyes widened in disbelief.

"It's understandable, and I believe that's why it's put on Earth."

"It came about to destroy something on Earth, so it doesn't need to be too complicated at all, as long as it can blow up the target."

Hearing this, Captain Megumi Juma, who was most concerned about this issue among the people at the scene, immediately asked.

"Can you find out what it's trying to destroy?"

Scratching his head in some anguish, Ye Rui said in a tone that was not too convinced.

"I searched for the time and number of times the urban legend 'Steel Plate Kamen Man' appeared......"

"It should not be a coincidence that the time it appears each time seems to roughly coincide with the time when Dr. Yao conducted the 'Max System' experiment."
