Chapter Twenty-Four: Friends... delicious

Above the sea,

A cloud of dark clouds, ten kilometers in diameter, was huge, and countless thunderbolts flashed in the clouds, and the roar spread far over the empty ocean, like an apocalyptic scene.

"Report, target has been identified and is approaching." NEW CITY REPORTED THE SITUATION TO THE GUYS COMMAND ROOM.

He and Dagu had already piloted the Feiyan 1 to a kilometer away from the dark clouds, and not far away was the 'Divine Eye' spaceship on which Dr. Matamino and the three of them were riding.

"Take care to keep the doctor safe, and be careful when approaching the clouds." Zong Fang reminded from the side.

"Understood!"

And Megumi looked at the picture on the screen, and couldn't help frowning slightly, and she didn't know why, she faintly felt uneasy.

"Senior Sister Stygian, you said that if the other party is really a strange race, will it be hostile to us humans?" Lina looked at the screen and asked the phoenix next to her.

"Would you have good intentions toward aliens, then?"

The phoenix leaned lazily back in his chair, threw a popcorn into his mouth, and tilted his head to ask.

Lina was speechless, since the last Rechulan Star incident, she had always been wary of aliens, and she had no good feelings at all.

"The Immortal Phoenix is right, although the 'Lightning People' are also creatures on the earth, we humans have never understood them until now."

"This will be our first contact, and if the other party can communicate with us well, we may be able to coexist, which is what Dr. Mizuno wants to see the most, and this is what I am working towards." Horii fiddled with the instrument and said with a smile.

Stygian couldn't help frowning when she heard this, she felt that Horii's idea was too idealistic, but she couldn't puncture her teammate's ideals either.

Anyway, when the time comes, Horii will naturally see the cruelty of ideals and reality.

…

…

Escorted by Feiyan One, the Divine Eye spacecraft slowly came to the outer layer of the dark clouds.

One by one, the precise data was displayed on the screen, and in the Divine Eye spacecraft, Dr. Mizuno pushed his glasses, and after watching the data, he said: "Send drones into the detection, we need more accurate data to study this cloud thoroughly." ”

Three minutes later,

After the drone entered the huge cloud, the camera quickly captured some images of unidentified microorganisms that resembled tadpoles and were covered in a translucent film.

"It's the Lightning Man!"

Dr. Mizuno exclaimed excitedly, and a smile of joy instantly appeared on his face.

He once put forward the hypothesis that the ionosphere is inhabited by lightning people, and now it has finally been confirmed, and all these years of hard work have not been in vain.

"Doctor, something is wrong, look there!"

One of the assistants suddenly spoke out in some panic.

On the screen, it was a monster shaped like a manta ray, with thick fleshy wings and pectoral fins, and a large mouth full of sharp fangs.

Like a whale swimming in the clouds, it opened its bloody mouth and sucked in all the nearby 'lightning people'.

Dr. Mizuno was dumbfounded, and in an instant he figured out a lot of things.

"This cloud is the nest of the lightning man, and that monster is the mutant of the lightning man, it is constantly evolving in it, just like raising Gu, and now in this cloud, this terrifying monster is brewing!"

Dr. Mizuno took off his glasses and gasped.

…

meantime

Everyone in the command room of the victory team also saw this picture.

Megumi looked at the picture on the screen, couldn't help frowning, and said solemnly: "Dagu, Xincheng, you cover the retreat of the doctors." ”

"Roger!"

"Stygian, Lina, you fly the fighter planes and set out to support."

And just as Stygian and Rina were about to leave, Horii walked over with a small instrument.

"I'll go with you and bring this with me by the way."

"What is this?" Lina asked curiously.

"The monster language translator I researched not long ago, if we can talk to them, maybe we can avoid conflict!"

"I know I may be a little naΓ―ve in my thinking, and it can be said that there is little hope for humans and lightning people to live in peace, but if you don't try to do it, who knows if it will succeed? I still want to give it a try. Horii said solemnly.

Wen Yan,

The phoenix sighed and didn't say anything.

…

…

"Boom!"

The Phoenix's heart and others piloted the fighter plane to the destination,

At this time, the Divine Eye and the Great Ancient have reached a safe uninhabited island.

On the island, several people began to converge.

In the sky ahead, in the thick clouds that almost dripped ink, there were cyan thunderbolts flashing from time to time, constantly moving and sinking.

"I'll talk to them, and you can cover me."

After discussing the countermeasures,

Horii was ready to drive the Swift 1 straight into the clouds.

"Wait, I'll go with you!"

Despite everyone's opposition, Dr. Mizuno insisted on riding on the same fighter plane as Horii, who had been studying this thing for half his life, and certainly didn't want to miss this opportunity.

ultimately

Escorted by several fighters, Horii and Dr. Mizuno managed to approach the clouds.

"What's your name? My name is Mizuno, and I've been studying you all my life! ”

Dr. Mizuno asked aloud through the monster translator, a little nervous and excited.

Moments later,

There was a burst of cries from the creatures in the clouds.

"The language of the Lightning Man has been parsed!"

Then, the language translator in Horii's hand heard a child's voice.

"Gazot..."

"Gazot? Is your name Gazotte? ”

Mizuno and Horii were stunned for a moment, and then they were a little pleased, and the other party answered them, explaining that they could communicate.

…

"That guy from Horii is really good, I didn't expect the translator to really let him make it!" On the Feiyan No. 2, Xincheng was also a little excited.

"This is the first time that humans have tried to communicate with monsters..."Dagu couldn't help but admire.

Lina, who was more careful, asked with some concern, "Senior sister, do you think they can reach a consensus?" ”

The Stygian shook her head and didn't answer, she was silently watching everything, ready to be armed with a super beast at any time.

…

In machine 1,

When Dr. Mizuno and Horii received the reply, their spirits suddenly lifted up, and the two of them said, "Shall we sit down and talk?" Gazotte, we are not enemies, we can be friends! ”

soon

Gazotte's response came through the translator.

"Friends?"

It was clearly puzzled, even confused, and repeated it in confusion.

"That's right, humanity and you are friends living on this planet." Horii said loudly again.

Distance

In the EX-J fighter, the phoenix pouted, she knew that the scene was coming...

"Friend... Friend... It's delicious! ”

really

The words that came from the translator made everyone except the Stygian Ning Xin stunned.

…

"The translator is broken?"

Horii patted the translator in his hand with a confused expression.

"Friend... I love to eat! Friend... Delicious! ”

In the translator's machine, Gazot's voice was heard again.

"Nani ?!!"

Horii's eyes widened, and his pupils shook.
