i'm really only human

Chapter 708 The Last Human on Earth
"Musashi!"

"That's great, Musashi!"

The serious-faced woman who was the leader of the survivors led the team to find Natsukawa and Musashi, followed by several young girls who stole glances at Natsukawa with fear and expectation.

"Who is this……"

"Musashi, have you found any other survivors?"

"Ah?" Musashi replied without thinking, "No, he is also an Ultraman like me..."

As Musashi was speaking, his neck shrank slightly under Natsukawa's gaze, and he inexplicably felt a chill on his back.

There's no need to hide your identity at a time like this, right?
Facing Natsukawa's calm but frightening gaze, Musashi swallowed hard and said, "Didn't you say you were going to look for clues? It would be better to investigate the survivors first... By the way, I don't know what to call them yet?"

"Kamiyaga."

Xia Chuan looked away and turned his brows to the cheering young girls who gathered around him.

Earth Defense Force U-Team, this is what these survivors call themselves.

However, their true identity is just a group of amateurs, and the original Earth Defense Force disappeared long ago.

It can be seen from the "fighter planes" modified from engineering robots that their combat capabilities are so low that they can only come out to collect supplies.

……

"call!"

Different dimensional space.

The Batman twisted his hands and feet and was trapped in the darkness. As he merged with the dark power, his body twitched from time to time. He lowered his head and his eyes emitted red light.

The huge blood cocoon Caspian Pajeton gradually took shape on the periphery, and countless ghosts of cosmic life forms whimpered and hovered in the terrifying breath.

"So there's a guest entering our world, Jaden!"

"I feel like it will be the best material... Finally, after gathering the power of the entire world, Hyperzeton has the possibility to go one step further! This time I will definitely be able to become the God of the Universe!!"

……

A factory beside a river in the suburbs.

There was a sign of "Earth Defense Force" hanging at the entrance from somewhere, and "Yamada Industry" was vaguely printed in the corner of the factory. There was not even basic defensive fortifications, but the young girls said it was a temporary camp.

No matter how you look at it, it's just a machinery factory used as a makeshift shelter.

The wind wheels that generate electricity all around rotate slowly.

Xiachuan used his X-ray vision to check the factory. Just then, a group of children ran out from the back. As soon as they saw Musashi, they started chattering and surrounded him.

"Brother Musashi, did you transform again today?"

"Uh……"

Musashi was dragged by the children and looked at Xiachuan awkwardly: "I am here to protect these survivors, and by the way, I am also investigating the truth of this world."

"Brother Musashi, who is this uncle?" Several children noticed Xiachuan and hid behind Musashi in disappointment.

"Guests?"

"very scary!"

"..."

Xia Chuan put away his telekinesis and forced a smile.

He was overthinking it. There were no clues here at all.

It just further confirmed Dyna's absence.

It should have nothing to do with him. The copies themselves are independent of each other. Currently, only "Triga" and "Tiga" are related.

"Feel sorry."

After Musashi was dragged away by the children to play, the woman in charge took the initiative to talk to Xiachuan, her expression still serious and heavy.

"We may be the only ones left in this world. We don't know exactly what happened."

"Like the boss said, all communication networks are down, and no one has responded to the broadcast, so it probably can't provide many clues."

A female team member added with a shrug.

"The accident happened too suddenly. First it was the birds and animals in the city, then the humans. They all disappeared in an instant. Even the Earth Defense Force... We are still alive, but only temporarily. You should have seen what happened today. We have to be on guard against monster attacks at all times. Who knows when..."

"The enemy just wants to see your despair and weakness," Xia Chuan felt the dark aura around him triggering his own Lucifer power, and interrupted in time, "At least Musashi is trying to protect you. As long as you are alive, there is hope."

The dark world cannot just spread negative emotions.

"hope……"

The leading woman squatted by the river bank and pulled out a piece of green grass. She glanced at Xia Chuan out of the corner of her eye. She felt as if she was facing some kind of predator and was unable to breathe. As her pupils shrank, she seemed to be able to see the burning abyss of fire, and her fingers couldn't help but tremble slightly.

The huge sense of oppression coming from the level of life is more terrifying than looking up at the monster from the ground.

“Come to think of it, are you really Ultraman? You feel completely different from Musashi. Maybe I’m a little sensitive. The scary laughter that echoes in the darkness every day, that kind of evil gives me a feeling that is very similar to you… You, you can’t be that guy, right? The mastermind…”

"Do you think it's possible?"

Xia Chuan calmly watched the lively and bustling factory below.

Unlike the dead city, the children brought a reassuring vitality and hope to this place, as can be seen from the smiles on the faces of several U team members nearby. To be honest, he didn't quite understand the Batman.

Not only did they leave a few survivors, but they also left a group of children behind.

The children's voices alone can cheer him up, but he would never do such a thing.

Or is this just a bait trap?
Shaking his head, Xia Chuan gathered his thoughts and prepared to leave.

He had no intention of wasting time here.

"and many more!"

The woman in charge gritted her teeth, stood up and shouted.

"Stay and have dinner together. We just don't have any clues yet. That guy must have a reason for keeping us here."

"I don't need to eat." Xia Chuan waved his hand.

……

into the night.

Team U's adventurous shopping during the day paid off.

To celebrate Xia Chuan's arrival, rows of candles were lit in the restaurant separated from the factory's living area, and sumptuous dinners were served one after another.

The children sat quietly in their seats like puppies, rubbing their hands and drooling, their eyes following the movement of the food plates, and they even forgot to be afraid of the strange uncle Xia Chuan.

There are still a lot of fruits in such a difficult environment.

“The watermelon is coming!”

"One piece per person!"

"That's great." Although Musashi didn't get his share of the watermelon, he still looked at Xiachuan beside him as if he had put down a heavy burden. "I thought you were going to leave alone. At a time like this, we should take care of each other."

"I just think the next time the enemy will attack this factory."

Xia Chuan picked up an apple at random.

The darkness only affected the connection between him and his original body. The projected clone was not restricted, but was instead strengthened by the darkness.

I don’t know if it’s because of the chaos in the copy, but Lucifer seems to have become the boss of this world. However, his real body is not here, and the power that the projected clone can exert is limited, almost only S-level.

This is why he wants to find Hypergeton as soon as possible.

Hyperzeton, nourished by the world, will grow significantly. The larvae may only be A+, but the complete form may reach SS.

I have to say that the Batman's move of capturing humans was a bit like a blind cat catching a dead mouse, which was equivalent to dealing a big blow to him.

The situation is undoubtedly much more troublesome than in "Super 8". Even the knights can't teleport over in a short time.

If even the Lucifer card is wasted, the Ultraman Legend copy may be completely destroyed.

"Don't worry," said a member of Team U who was helping to serve food, "Monsters have never attacked our camp before. As long as we don't enter the city, it's safe. Besides, the monsters are probably asleep at this time."

"I'm not talking about those ordinary monsters."

Xia Chuan closed his eyes slightly.

Through the connection between Lucifer and the darkness of the copy, he could vaguely feel the existence of the Batman, and the pressure he faced was far greater than that of Musashi and these women.

He did not forget that this was an SS-level copy, which was much stronger than the previous copies, including the "Nexus" whose level had not been upgraded.

At the beginning, he was not strong enough and had to prevent Zaki from resurrecting, and "Nexus" was suppressed to the A+ level.

"Ultraman Legend" is directly a high-level world, but the bosses in it have a growth process.

"If not a monster, what else could it be?"

The young team member smiled indifferently, and when he was about to add more food to the children, the whole factory shook violently like an earthquake and everyone froze.

The shock only lasted for a moment, but after a brief calm, there was a loud explosion outside.

"boom--!"

"Enemy attack!"

The female captain who had been secretly observing Xia Chuan rushed out of the restaurant.

"Protect the children!"

"How could this happen? It's really coming!"

There were screams and chaos in the restaurant. The men in charge of the battle quickly caught up with the female captain. Musashi also hurriedly took out the transformation device and said, "Mr. Kanaga, I leave this to you!"

⊙ ▽ ⊙

Xia Chuan was a beat slower in his thinking, and when he stood up, he was greeted by the gazes of the rest of the crowd, all pairs of young eyes full of dependence.

After all, I thought of him as Ultraman.

But he was the one who said those words just now.

Is Musashi asking him to be a babysitter?
Xia Chuan felt a headache for a while, but finally summoned the Aurora Curtain in the panicked eyes of everyone and led everyone out of the dangerous factory area.
