Although the battle had ended, the pain it brought to the city was far from over. The battle between the two giants had caused the destruction of nearly a hundred houses in three streets, hundreds of people were killed or injured, and the direct economic losses were as high as tens of millions.
Some voices of doubt began to appear in society. People began to doubt whether the TPCs, which had been peaceful for a long time, had enough ability to protect humans from monsters or aliens. Why would the captain of the victory team trust an unknown Ultraman Tiga? Was such a powerful alien really here to protect humans?
Public opinion continued to ferment, and some radical remarks emerged one after another. For example, many people agreed with the reorganization of the Earth Defense Force.
During the TPC high-level meeting, Yoshioka Tetsuji looked coldly at the middleman, Captain Kie, who was sitting at the side, and began to make trouble.
"Captain Hui, why did you say such rash words in the interview?”
Opening and closing the fan in his hand, Yoshioka slowly stood up and walked to the window.
"That giant, Ultraman Diga, is already a threat to our Earth's defense. And you, without knowing the other party's information, actually conveyed your stupid idea to the people. What is your basis? Or did you rely on your ridiculous intuition as a woman to make you say such stupid things on TV?”
"Back at the Pyramid, Diga and another giant killed Melba and repelled Golzan. At Nine Good Island, we worked together to kill Yakuma. This time, we worked together to eliminate the Kirilodd people. Commander Yoshioka just asked me why I thought Diga was not an enemy. I can answer this question. I did rely on my intuition, but my warrior's intuition tells me that Ultraman Diga is a trustworthy person. A comrade that we can rely on!"
"Ridiculous! You…"
"Alright, Yoshioka! This is the conference room."
"Humph!"
Hearing Sawai's words, Yoshioka could only snort coldly and sit back down.
" Alright, regarding Ultraman Diga's matter, everyone discussed it at the staff meeting just now. However, since he hasn't done anything dangerous, I think we should also express our goodwill to him. At the very least, we can't force him to go against the humans.”
Sawai crossed his arms and swept his gaze across everyone present.
"However, we must also prepare for the worst. If the other party shows any signs of malice towards humanity, I hope that you will not hesitate.”
He looked at Intermediary Hui and nodded at her.
The meeting ended…
Yoshioka and his advisor walked out of the meeting room with gloomy faces.
" What bullsh * t intuition? It's ridiculous. Can you take on the responsibility of protecting the Earth by relying on intuition? This woman had actually entrusted the safety of Earth to a dangerous alien! Earth is still our Earth!”
He glared fiercely at Intermediary Hui, who was waiting outside the door, and said these words without any hesitation.
That's right, Earth is still the Earth of the Earthlings. The only thing humans can believe in is our own strength.
As she watched Yoshioka leave, Mika began to doubt herself. Was her trust in Tiga right or wrong?
"Captain Hui!"
The one who spoke was Advisor Nanyuan. He saw that Intermediary Hui was frowning and thought that she was still unhappy about what happened in the meeting just now.
"South Park Advisor."
"There's no need for Captain Hui to be angry. Officer Yoshioka just has a bad temper. Don't take it to heart.”
"It's okay. I'm thinking about something else.”
"What is it?"
Sawai walked out of the meeting room and looked at the two people who were talking.
"How wonderful."
In Laboratory 031, the researchers looked at the remains of the Kilialoid on the control panel and exclaimed.
"Is this the creature of this world?”
"I heard from Yang Cheng that there are many such existences in this world!”
"How terrifying."
Although they were mentally prepared, the research on the remains of the Kirilodd people still made Laboratory 031 feel incredulous.
"So, you revived that piece of minced meat?”
Yang Cheng stood in front of the Steel March and chatted with Sun Xu.
"You can't say it's alive. We don't want to raise such a big alien here.”
Holding the thermos cup and taking a sip, Sun Xu looked at the few tea leaves in the cup and sighed.
"We only restored its activity and allowed it to proliferate to a certain extent. We found that these cells have a high adaptability to high-energy environments and will passively absorb energy from the environment, such as solar radiation and electricity.”
"Hiss, it won't grow out a complete Kirielord, right?”
"How is that possible? Hahahaha."
Looking at Yang Cheng's one-eyed mechanical head, Sun Xu smiled and shook his head.
"These cells can't get enough energy to maintain their activity in a normal environment. What we can do now is to barely maintain a slow growth state.”
"Then what about the armor you mentioned just now?”
Yang Cheng looked at the trailer that was passing by in front of him. Behind it was the armor that was removed from the arm of the Steel Marchers. The armor that could withstand the impact of the monster's huge force was barely able to withstand Golzan's energy attack. It was only 30 centimeters thick that it did not melt through.。
"Our mecha's defense is too weak in front of the monsters of this world. After all, the Pioneer monsters can only spray corrosive acid for long-range attacks. Against high-energy attacks, these armors can't provide effective protection. Isn't this just nice? The cells of the Kirilodd people have such good energy resistance and can continue to proliferate. It's the best to use them as protection for the mecha.”
"Biological armor?"
"You can say that."
Sun Xu nodded.
"However, there is a problem now. If we want to obtain armor that can protect important parts with our current equipment, we will have to wait for at least a year for the cells to grow.”
"So long?"
Yang Cheng was a little surprised.
"There's no other way. No matter what, we're just a research institute, not a big factory. It's only natural for us to provide breeding equipment.”
"Then what should we do?"
"What else can we do? Without guns and cannons, the enemy will create something for us. We can't even understand such a simple problem.”
Sun Xu rolled his eyes.
"Aren't there many big factories in this world? You can just go and secretly take some.”
"You mean you want me to steal it?"
Yang Cheng scratched his metal head.
"Hey, did you use this robot body to turn your brain into iron? How could this be called stealing! This is called borrowing!"
He closed the lid of the thermos flask and knocked Yang Cheng's head with the flask, making a few soft sounds.
"Also, our supplies are a little tight. We're almost running out of food. Those women are looking for me every day to submit reports. They want you to get some shampoo and those personal items, so I'll have to trouble you.”
"No trouble, no trouble."
" Yesterday, a serious theft occurred at Kawasaki Heavy Industries. Dozens of processing equipment and dozens of tons of materials disappeared from the warehouse. Moreover, there were no obvious traces of the crime at the scene, as if it had disappeared into thin air. The modus operandi is extremely similar to the Deli Food Storage Theft Case last year."
The reporters on the television were reporting. The members of the victorious team in the TPC headquarters had also received a new mission.
"What? It's just a theft case. Can't we just go to the police?”
Xin Cheng listened to the mission content with a straight face.
"Alright, I understand. I'll immediately arrange for an investigation.”
Zong Fang hung up the call with Intermediary Hui and looked at the unhappy new city.
"A witness said that a strange black shadow was discovered during the patrol last night. This is not an ordinary theft. It is very likely that supernatural forces are involved.”
He pulled out the footage from the scene. The warehouse that originally stored the goods was now empty. However, strangely, other than the traces left by the goods being transported into the warehouse at the beginning, there were no traces of large-scale transportation. Just as the reporter said, the goods seemed to have disappeared into thin air.
"Dagu, Xincheng, Horii, the three of you go investigate and find this despicable thief!”
"Yes, sir!"
The three of them hurriedly stood at attention.
"Hehe, I didn't expect to become a detective one day!”
Horii smiled and said,
"Come on, only a handsome person like me is worthy of the image of a detective.”
Shinkou smiled and patted Horii's shoulder.
"What about me?"
Horii pointed at his own nose and asked unwillingly.
"Of course you're the great detective's doctor, hahahaha.”
Ogu said to Horii, then ran to the hangar with a smile.
"What happened?"
Looking at the quarantine tape around the warehouse, Yang Cheng frowned.
This storage unit was the target he had chosen. He had already set his foot on it. He was just short of taking it away tonight. Who knew that another colleague would appear out of nowhere and rob him.
Listening to the news report, Yang Cheng pressed down his hat and found a corner where no one was paying attention. He activated the stealth of his combat uniform and began to sneak into the warehouse.
"He's very tall! Very strong! It's all black and has a robot head..."
"Are you sure? A robot's head?"
Xin Cheng stopped writing and asked the so-called witness again.
"Yes, it's absolutely true. I saw it with my own eyes. He has the head of a robot and is very tall. He's only two heads taller than you!”
When the terrified warehouse keeper heard Xin Cheng's doubts, his trembling voice suddenly became louder. He raised his hands and kept describing the situation to Xin Cheng.
"At that time, I was patrolling and checking..."
Horii was squatting on the ground with a detector in his hand, his eyebrows twisted together.
"It doesn't make sense! Why is it like this?"
Seeing Horii's strange state, Ogu hurried forward.
"What's wrong, Horii? Did you find anything?”
"Yes, very strange. I just detected a strange energy radiation in this area, but now it suddenly disappeared.”
Horii flipped through the scan record. It clearly recorded that the scanner had captured a weak energy fluctuation five minutes ago. If it weren't for this record, Horii would have suspected that he was hallucinating.
"Could it be a detector error?"
Dagu suggested a possibility.
"It's possible, but the chances are too small. This..."
As Horii spoke, the detector in his hand buzzed again.
