Ultraman Any Key: Qiming

Chapter 56 55. Smash the Jeep

After reading the comments, Qi Ming said:

"I understand and sympathize with those who lost their property in the disaster."

"But even if it happens again, I will still fight the same way."

"If we are concerned about these concrete shells and tie our hands and fail in the war, the situation will only become more serious."

Moroboshi: "But didn't you flee without a fight?"

He clicked on another video, which showed Ryu Aihara roaring.

"Asshole! What kind of third-rate fighting skills are you using?! And you even ran away!"

"Look at what you've been protecting! Are you still an Ultraman?"

Qi Ming sighed:

"I didn't expect to be treated like this. This mad dog bites everyone it sees."

"But when I was checking the news, I saw that his squadron was wiped out while trying to stop a monster. I can kind of understand him."

"By the way, this video has quite a lot of comments. Let me take a look."

He clicked on the video, and it was also filled with all kinds of heated remarks.

"I think these incompetent guys are the biggest bastards. How dare they blame Ultraman? Isn't it the responsibility of soldiers to protect the city?"

"That's right, we don't pay taxes to Ultraman!"

"What if he scolds Ultraman away? Who will protect us if monsters appear in the future?"

"Or we can build a religion dedicated to Ultraman. When something happens in the future, we can worship him. It might be more useful than relying on these guys for protection."

"But Ultraman isn't as omniscient and omnipotent as God. This time, he failed to defeat the monster and it even escaped. I'm constantly worried that the giant shark will come out and destroy the city again."

"..."

Qi Ming was amazed. "It's hard to say whether these guys are normal people. Although the defense forces are indeed useless, those soldiers are fighting to protect them after all."

Zhu Xingtuan was also reading the comments: "See, Qi Ming, people are expecting you to defeat that shark and protect peace."

Qi Ming: “?”

He sighed deeply and explained the whole story to Zhu Xingtuan in detail again.

First, Keigo Masaki is not a madman. He wants to be the savior and will not manipulate the underground shark to destroy the city.

Second, Chief of Staff Gonto already knew that there were stone statues in Kumamoto City, and Masaki Keigo would soon be unable to take care of himself.

It takes evil to deal with evil. Go ahead and fight until you get your heads broken and bloodied, and I'll just sit back and watch the storm unfold.

Zhu Xingtuan thought for a while and still felt that Qi Ming’s current combat effectiveness needed to be improved, so he prepared to help him with special training.

Special training...

Qi Ming thought for a while and said, "Okay, I'm not good at aerial combat. Do you have any way for me to get started quickly?"

When fighting against the Kirieloids before, Qi Ming did not fly up to chase the Kirieloids who fled into the air because he did not want to step into unfamiliar territory.

If you can fly in the air skillfully, you can fly a kite remotely from air to ground when facing monsters that cannot fly.

Zhu Xingtuan nodded on the surface, but in his heart he was thinking, could it be that Qi Ming was practicing this so that he could escape more smoothly from the air in the future?
Just when Qi Ming thought that the captain could use his experience to fill the gap for him...

The next day, he arrived at the agreed location and saw a jeep.

A very bad premonition arose in Qi Ming's heart.

The beach, the jeep, the stars.

Haha, Captain, you don’t really think I’m as “easy-going” as Feng Yuan.

Zhu Xingtuan got out of the jeep and said that there was no rush for flight training. What they needed to train now was Qi Ming's "anti-strike capability."

Although Qi Ming's performance has always been good, Zhu Xingtuan believes that if he is given more "motivation," Qi Ming can become stronger and do even better. "We must meet people's expectations, strengthen their trust in the Ultra Warriors, and not let them down."

Next, Zhu Xingtuan began to talk about "a man's sense of responsibility", which was almost the same as what he said to Feng Yuan in the original drama of "Leo".

Qi Ming looked at Zhu Xingtuan expressionlessly without saying a word.

"Those houses, bearing the hard work of the builders, are the memories of every family."

"Didn't you also say that Ultraman isn't just a monster-killing machine? He has to be mindful of these things when fighting."

Zhu Xingtuan planned to use a moving jeep to simulate the charge of the subterranean shark, and let Qi Ming take the lead.

He said that this was not only training for the Submarine Shark, but also to enable him to better consider the overall situation when fighting in the future.

Qi Ming finally spoke, his tone carrying a hint of fatigue:

"Ultraman is indeed not just a monster-killing machine, but I am not a pure Ultraman either."

"Captain Zhuxing, it's better for you to treat me as a human being, a person who has the common characteristics of a human being and is afraid of death."

Zhu Xingtuan was stunned: "You said you are afraid of death?"

Qi Ming said as a matter of course: "Of course, I'm still young, how could I not be afraid of death?"

"In fact, I can kill the Sub-Shark despite my incompatibility, and I'm fully capable of using my body to block attacks and protect buildings in battle."

"But I won't do that because it would hurt me way beyond what I could do."

"The Earth is now fraught with danger, and I don't know how many evils are targeting me, a 'roadblock'."

"I have to be vigilant and win at the lowest cost, not giving those guys the chance to take advantage of us."

At this point, a hint of sarcasm flashed in Qi Ming's eyes:
"Aren't the cement roads in the city the hard work of the road builders? What if they collapse? We might as well just stop fighting."

"As expected, the more you do, the more mistakes you make; the less you do, the fewer mistakes you make; and if you do nothing, you make no mistakes."

"This..." Zhu Xingtuan was speechless. He didn't expect that the encouraging words he casually said would provoke such a strong counterattack from Qi Ming.

He asked, "You said someone was targeting you. Do you have any clues?"

Qi Ming: "No, it's just a hunch."

Moroboshi: "You mean, just because of speculation, you're afraid of getting hurt in battle and unwilling to fight with all your strength?"

Qi Mingxin said that if he didn't get to the point, Zhu Xingtuan wouldn't listen at all:
"That's right, I must return home alive. My strength is needed there."

"To me, the lives of all other people in this world combined are not as important as mine. Do you understand now?"

Zhu Xingtuan's face changed: "You are too extreme!"

Qi Ming walked forward and patted the hood of the jeep:
"Also, I fight to live up to my conscience, not to satisfy you."

"Let's save some money on these things."

After saying that, Qi Ming slapped the engine hood with his palm, making a large dent, and then left without looking back in the stunned eyes of Zhu Xingtuan.

"It was a wasted trip." On the way home, Qi Ming's face was solemn.

With powerful external enemies surrounding them and internal intrigues, communicating with Team Leader Zhuxing is either stressful or like talking to a deaf ear.

If it really doesn't work, you can just use the "backdoor plans" you found before.

Wait, where is the road?
Did I just walk this road? Why is there no one here except me?
When Qi Ming came to his senses, he felt as if he had encountered a ghost wall and had been circling around one place for several times.

At this moment, a deep voice accompanied by a chilling wind came from behind: "Are you beginning to feel disappointed with this world?"

Qi Ming turned his head suddenly, and the huge figure that appeared in front of him made his pupils shrink.

A black and red body, a rib-like exoskeleton, black eyes and a colored timer.

Sure enough, my feeling was right. There was something in the darkness staring at me.

This guy is - Dark Mephistopheles!
