Ultraman: It turns out this is the easy mode.

In the base's weapons depot, Cui Ming toyed with a uniquely shaped bomb in his hand. Its casing gleamed with a cold metallic sheen and bore a red "High Risk" label. He glanced at Daigo standing beside him and explained casually, "You know, as long as you pay attention to the dosage, you can determine the effect. Generally, I prefer super-large doses because that ensures sufficient power when bombing monsters."

Daigo stared intently at the bomb in Cui Ming's hand, his pupils contracting slightly, his face filled with horror—he recognized it at a glance: it was a Zildar gas bomb! He had seen it in EDF's equipment data before; this kind of bomb was extremely powerful. Once detonated, it could instantly generate a high-temperature, high-pressure shockwave that could easily tear apart even the hard shells of monsters, and might even cause irreversible damage to the surrounding environment.

Having seen some of EDF's heavy equipment, Daigo knew better than anyone how dangerous the bomb in "Storm One's" hands was; it was practically a "mobile disaster."

He swallowed hard and cautiously began, "Um... Captain Storm, this thing is too dangerous. What if it's not controlled properly? Could it affect the nearby residents?" He couldn't bear to imagine what the consequences would be if such a terrifying bomb were detonated in the city.

Cui Ming waved his hand dismissively, his eyes full of certainty: "Danger is good, after all, we're dealing with a monster, understand? If the power isn't enough, and it gets away instead of killing us, it will cause even bigger trouble." He paused, then pointed to Sadra, who was wandering on the edge of the city, on the monitor screen. "Besides, this time the target is clear. That guy is in the suburbs right now, and there aren't many residents around. Bomb it without worry."

After saying that, he stuffed the bomb into his specially made backpack, patted Daigo on the shoulder, and said, "Alright, I'm going to set it up. You keep an eye on the monster's movements, and notify me immediately if it shows any signs of moving. Got it?"

"Yes, sir!" Daigo immediately stood at attention and answered. Although he still felt the bomb was dangerous, seeing Choi Myung's confident demeanor, he could only suppress his worries and focus on the monitor screen.

“Very good! Very good!” Cui Ming nodded in satisfaction, turned around and strode out of the storage room, heading straight for the area where Sadra was located.

On the way, Cui Ming couldn't help but complain to himself: This time, the target was a damned Sadra. These things eat people, and several families had already been attacked by them. Seriously, why are there so many Sadras on Earth? And these guys are always causing trouble—when alien forces invaded before, they hid in corners pretending to be asleep, not helping at all; now that no one's causing trouble, they come out to eat people, and then hide away to sleep again. They're just bullies who prey on the weak!

"Don't even think about waking up!!!" Cui Ming gritted his teeth, quickening his pace, his fists clenching unconsciously—this time, using the Zelda gas bomb was to completely eliminate this Sadra, to warn those monsters who like to "pick on the weak": Earth is not a place they can come and go as they please! We'll fight Earth monsters no matter what!!!
"Sir, the target is still asleep and his body temperature is normal." Daigo stared intently at the monitor screen, his fingers rapidly typing on the keyboard, keeping track of Sadra's status in real time.

"Where's your heartbeat?" Cui Ming's voice came through the communicator, clear and calm.

"Heartbeat is stable, no signs of waking up."

"Tell me immediately if anything seems amiss. Don't let your mind wander." "Yes!" Daigo replied immediately, his eyes never leaving the screen.

At that moment, Cui Ming's voice came through the communicator again, with a hint of casualness: "The main thing is that I don't want to detonate the bomb outside. This thing is too powerful, and if some reckless people come along, they might get blown up together."

"..." Upon hearing this, Daigo's lips twitched involuntarily—only Commander Cui Ming dared to be so blunt as to say "afraid of blowing up passersby." Anyone else would have been instructed to "operate with caution and avoid accidental injury." He thought to himself: If outsiders knew this, they would definitely complain to the base gate. But Captain Cui Ming seemed to be the least afraid of complaints. After all, he even dared to "use the enemy as a weapon," so this little thing was nothing to him.

In the instant Daigo's attention wandered, a sudden movement appeared on the monitor screen—he saw Cui Ming silently approach Sadra, the enormous monster still fast asleep, completely unaware of the impending danger. Then, Cui Ming tossed the Zerda gas bomb, which flew precisely into Sadra's mouth!
"Watch out for an explosion!!!" The voice on the communicator suddenly rose in volume.

"Holy crap!!!" Daigo's pupils shrank, and he instantly realized—Cui Ming had actually thrown the bomb into the monster's mouth! He was about to warn it that "it's too close and dangerous" when he heard a violent explosion coming from the communicator.

The next moment, the scene on the monitor screen was engulfed in flames. Sadra's massive body disintegrated instantly in the explosion, shattering into countless fragments. Splattered chunks of flesh and debris rained down everywhere.

Inside the observation deck outside the base's monitoring room, Daigo felt a heat on his face and body. Looking down, he saw chunks and bits of bloody meat splattered all over him! Just as he was about to complain, he saw Cui Ming's image coming through the communicator. The other man was also covered in the same "spoils of war," but calmly said, "Mission accomplished. Let's go back to the base and clean up."

"?!?!?! How did you get back so fast?" Daigo was completely dumbfounded—from the explosion to Cui Ming appearing on the screen, only a few seconds had passed, and Cui Ming was carrying a lot of equipment, how could he have run so fast?
"If we don't run fast, we'll get blown up. That's the benefit of training." Cui Ming patted the bits of flesh off his body, his tone as relaxed as if he were saying, "The weather's nice today."

No, no, no!!! Daigo screamed inwardly: This has nothing to do with training!!! Even with the best training, it's impossible to run back to the safe zone the instant an explosion occurs while carrying a bunch of gear, right?! Looking at the calm-faced Choi Ming on the screen, he suddenly remembered the rumors circulating outside—recently, people near the base have been saying "Storm One is Superman." He used to think it was just a rumor, but now it seems it might be true!
Cui Ming urged through the communicator: "What are you standing there for? If you don't go back to the base soon, the bits of flesh on your body will dry, and you won't be able to wash them off properly."

Daigo finally snapped out of his daze, wiping the meat scraps off his face as he replied helplessly, "Coming, coming. Sir, could you please tell me in advance how to do it next time?"

"It's pointless to tell them beforehand; the more unexpected, the better." Cui Ming's voice carried a hint of seriousness, making Daigo even more helpless—indeed, reasoning with Commander Cui Ming was the most useless thing. (End of Chapter)
