Ultraman: Because I am Gatanothor

Hoo~

It stretched out its front paw and rubbed its nostrils in a human-like manner. When it looked down, all it could see was orange smoke obscuring its vision.

Saw nothing.

I'm hungry, let's find something to eat first!

Thinking this, the monster stretched out its sharp front claws and grabbed at the ground. In the blink of an eye, a cloud of dust thicker than the smoke from a signal flare flew into the air, completely obscuring its figure.

Nanase Rena controlled the Flying Swallow, and in the blink of an eye, it flew back and forth once more.

However, both of them stared in utter astonishment at the spot where the dust had settled.

"Ah this..."

"Disappeared..."

What came into view was a relatively shallow pit; the monster from before had vanished from their sight.

Nanase Rena controlled the Flying Swallow and patrolled back and forth several times, but did not see any trace of the monster.

"Daigo, has the radar detected any trace of the monster?"

Daigo practically lay on the radar display, scrutinizing it closely, hoping to discover something.

Unfortunately, there was no trace of the monster on the monitor. He said, puzzled, "This is so strange, it's not there!"

"No!?"

“Yes, it’s like a monster burrowing into the ground and then disappearing into thin air!” Daigo explained.

Just then, Megumi's voice came through the communication channel, "Come back, the branch office has taken over the situation!"

Clearly, what just happened was transmitted back to headquarters by Flying Swallow No. 1, allowing most people to see it.

Just then, Nanase Rena saw a rescue plane with the letters 'tpc' on it flying over and starting a rescue operation for the people on the ground.

Fortunately, the person was only frightened and was not seriously injured.

"Understood!" Daigo and Rena replied, then flew the plane towards headquarters, heading towards the rising sun.

Fortunately, both of them still had energy and there was no flight accident.

A moment later, they returned to TPC headquarters.

As soon as she entered, Nanase Rena asked, "Captain, why hasn't Dolphin 202 returned yet?"

They received the information about Dolphin 202's movement last night, but after being delayed in Inner Mongolia for a while, Dolphin 202 should have arrived at TPC headquarters before them.

However, upon returning, she learned that Dolphin 202 was still at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean, which rekindled her worries.

Hearing her teammate's words, Megumi Kijima put away her gloomy expression and mustered her spirits to shout.

"Ye Rui, release the movement trajectory map of Dolphin 202!"

"Yes!" As Ye Rui finished speaking, the screen displayed the movement trajectory map of Dolphin 202.

The lines in the diagram resemble a tangled ball of yarn, but this doesn't hinder anyone from viewing it.

“This is…” Nanase Rena couldn’t help but step forward and stare at the screen, muttering to herself.

"According to the experts' analysis, they are trapped at the bottom of the sea and are looking for a way out, which is why they are showing this strange route map," Ye Rui explained.

…………

seabed.

Director Ji Gang looked at Feng Du with a distressed expression, his lips twitching slightly before he asked again.

Are you sure this is really the way out?

They had been wandering around the seabed since dawn, and every time they changed routes, Fengdu would say that it was a way out.

But the result was either a dead end or a return to square one.

Now, he doesn't even know how many roads he's traveled.

Nanase Fudo secretly glanced at Director Yoshitsugu out of the corner of his eye and noticed that he looked exhausted, with his eyes closed and his fingers pressed against his brow, giving off a 'I have a headache' expression.

'Well, although I might want to go the wrong way a few more times, there's a saying that too much of a good thing can be bad, so I'd better get out now!'

After thinking it over, he steered Dolphin 202 toward the only way out.

With a confident look on his face, he said to Director Ji Gang, "Don't worry, Director, this time we'll definitely get out!"

Upon hearing this, Yoshitsuji waved his hand weakly and remained silent, clearly indicating that he had given up on trusting Fuuto.

I'm too lazy to look at the data. Anyway, right now, only the power system and lighting system on Dolphin 202 can barely work. The other systems are basically paralyzed.

The positioning system does not emit electronic signals at all, but rather diffuses them through special elemental particles.

Thus, it can be detected by advanced instruments.

These particles are very difficult to interfere with, but correspondingly, they are also very expensive to produce.

Above the seabed, in the control room of three rescue boats, an operator looked at the dots on the screen and said with a frustrated expression, "Dolphin 202 has moved again... What do we do?"

The person in the passenger seat next to him sighed.

"What can we do but follow them!"

As a rescue boat, their primary task was to rendezvous with Dolphin 202. So, after monitoring the location of Dolphin 202, they operated the rescue boat and followed it.

result……

You know what I mean...

They followed Nanase Fudo, swimming back and forth on the seabed.

Like a frightened little fish trapped in a glass tank, it can only swim around in the confined space.

Soon, the rescue boat followed the dot on the monitor and sailed away.

The remaining two rescue boats took turns drilling into the seabed.

Because they were unsure whether there was an exit beneath the seabed, their work could not stop.

If there is no exit, then the hole they drilled will be Dolphin 202's only way to survive.

Half an hour later, Yoshitsuji looked at the light in front of him with excitement.

"Light?!"

The presence of light proves that we can go outside.

He exclaimed excitedly, "Have we found a way out?"

"Hmph!" Feng Du grunted twice, then muttered, "I knew we could get out this time!"

Yoshitsuji glanced at him, wanting to repeat what he had said at every intersection.

But at this moment, he really didn't have the energy to dwell on these things.

Keep in mind, he's a man in his fifties now, and he'd just been hit hard in the waist by Zoga.

It still hurts.

"Out……"

"We're out..."

Inside the rescue boat above, everyone thought they would have to turn back again, but unexpectedly, they saw a beam of light on the monitor.

The person in the driver's seat muttered, "Light?"

"Could it be the light emitted by a bioluminescent fish like an lanternfish?" The co-pilot craned his neck to get closer and observe.

The person in the driver's seat didn't speak, but waited silently while pressing the communication switch.

Before long, a dolphin-shaped machine, clearly man-made, emerged from the seabed coral and appeared before them.

He immediately pressed the communication switch and said excitedly, "I saw Dolphin 202! They've already sailed out of the sea and are coming over to start the rescue..."

Everyone in the command room heard those words.

A smile appeared on Megumi's face, and she said, "Then I'll leave the scene to you!"

Rescue boat: "Understood!"

Munakata: "Understood!"

Deputy Captain Zongfang had been standing above the site of the Dolphin 202 crash. After speaking, he let out a heavy sigh.

Thankfully, it was a close call...

Chapter 13 Time Machine

Chapter XIII

Inside the command center, Yoshitsuji Yoshitsugu and Nanase Fudo lay in the TPC medical room, where medical staff meticulously disinfected them from the outside in.

Afterwards, Yoshitsuji Yoshitsuji was taken to a special medical care room by medical staff to begin treatment for his injuries.

As for Fengdu, he was asked a few simple questions and then let go.
