The Warrior of Love

"Well, since we don't have a specific target, let's go and take a look."

Chapter 282: The masked man appears? I am Lao Xu!

At the beginning of the 21st century, wars and conflicts have ceased among nations on Earth. The long-awaited world peace has finally arrived, and the Earth Defense Force has thus completed its historical mission. TPC (Terrestrial Peace Coalition) is established, and humanity has ushered in a new era.

——However, peace is such a beautiful yet fragile thing, and this blue planet will be tested once again.

……

"squeak--"

The automatic door opened to both sides, and a mature woman with long hair, who looked to be about thirty years old, exuding an intellectual and capable aura, walked in quickly.

"team leader……"

"team leader!"

The team members who were already waiting for her in the command room greeted her one after another. These team members were wearing the same uniform, which was well designed but not fancy, and looked quite handsome.

The long-haired woman also nodded slightly and walked to her seat without any delay.

"Let's get straight to the point, everyone."

The leader of the Victory Team (GUTS): Iruma Kei, looked around, confirmed that everyone was present, and spoke in a deep voice.

"We, GUTS, were originally selected from experts in various fields to investigate various supernatural anomalies. Now something has happened that cannot be understood by common sense. The headquarters needs our analysis and opinions."

From Iruma Kei down, the team members stood up in silence - they already knew the reason for calling this emergency meeting.

It should be noted that as an elite team of only seven people, GUTS (commonly known as the Victory Team) is the so-called "Global Unlimited Task Group". General supernatural phenomena, such as urban legends, hauntings, UFO incidents, etc., will not bother them.

This team will only be deployed when the intelligence department of the Earth Peace Coalition (TPC) determines that it is not a rumor or has caused a huge impact.

This time, there is no need for the intelligence department to analyze it. Anyone can see that it is a big event - a monster has appeared!

This is not the cute "monster" that appears in DreamWorks movies, but a disaster-level creature with a hard shell and sharp claws, over 60 meters tall!

The first time it appeared was on the Mongolian grasslands. Team members Lina and Dagu, who received the intelligence and went to investigate, almost died. Fortunately, the monster seemed to have no intention of fighting and quickly burrowed into the ground to escape without causing much damage.

"The monster that appeared on the Mongolian grassland is so huge. If it is moving in the strata, it is impossible for it to be completely silent. Now the information has been passed to the Global Geological Monitoring Bureau, asking them to carefully analyze the special underground vibration waves."

Horii, who was in charge of the technology, said confidently: "And we can also mobilize reconnaissance satellites. As long as the monster appears on the surface, no matter where on the earth it is, we will be able to know it immediately."

"But what happens after you know it?"

A serious voice sounded, and this time it was the deputy captain Munakata who spoke. Perhaps because he had served in the military, his words were quite powerful, in sharp contrast to the ordinary little fat boy Horii.

"After disbanding the Earth Defense Force, TPC was already demilitarizing. Moreover, our Victory Team is just a scientific expedition team. We don't have any weapons that can threaten the monsters at all."

"Speaking of which, the Victory Swallow was originally converted from a fighter model. If we want to load weapons, we can do it quickly."

“But this requires permission from above.”

Ikuma Huifue pondered: "At a time when the world is advocating to reduce the number of weapons held, are we going to strengthen our military? This will go against the overall policy of the TPC, and it is not a simple matter."

The team members understood this, but someone still raised an opinion: "But if we leave it alone, what if the monster causes more damage? This time we are in the grassland, not in a densely populated city, so it is better, but even so, someone was almost killed!"

"I know everything you said, Team Dagu."

The captain looked at his subordinate and said patiently, "That's what I think, too. So even if I have to force it, I will get the top management to agree."

"team leader……"

"no need……"

At this moment, the automatic door opened again, and an old man wearing a light navy blue uniform and with a calm temperament walked in, followed by an acquaintance.

"I agree to your request, Captain Iruma."

"Um, Director?"

"Director Sawai!"

"Hello!"

The members of the Victory Team all became serious and greeted the old man respectfully.

This is not just because of the difference in status, but in terms of age, morality and achievements, this old man deserves respect from everyone.

A large part of the credit for the fact that the earth can now maintain such a peaceful state should be attributed to him.

It was also he who, despite everyone's pessimism, achieved a peaceful world that no one before him had ever achieved.

"Don't be so reserved, guys."

Sawai Soichiro said to Iruma Megumi with a smile: "Although it will affect the peace strategy, this is a special situation and there should be emergency measures. Do your best. I will support you, Captain."

"Yes!"

Iruma Hui was a little excited in his admiration: "We will definitely handle this matter properly and will never let the director down... huh?"

Only then did she notice that among the people who followed Director Sawai in, there was a guy who was obviously special.

First of all, her attire. Although she was wearing some kind of uniform, the design was something that Iruma Kei had never seen before. It looked like a military uniform but more "daily" than that. If she were walking down the street, she would probably be considered a COS from a fantasy work.

Secondly, this person was wearing a fully enclosed helmet!

It is neither the spherical shape of a motorcycle rider's safety helmet nor the steel cylinder of a medieval knight's helmet, but a more sci-fi design.

Although he was following behind Director Sawai, he exuded a much stronger presence than the director and quickly attracted everyone's attention.

Suspicious person!

Even the people who showed up at the TPC headquarters were still full of suspicion!

"Director, who is this?"

"Oh, come to think of it, I haven't introduced you yet. Let's get to know each other."

Director Sawai turned sideways and extended his hand to introduce them: "They are the GUTS team that our TPC is proud of. They are all elites selected from various fields."

Then he turned to the members of the Victory Team and said, "This is the director of the Chaldeas Observatory, a scientific observatory under the TPC headquarters, and also your special advisor."

"Special advisor?"

Iruma Kei and Munakata looked at each other. A consultant had come to the Victory Team, but the two captains had no idea about it!

"Well, I'll need your guidance in the future."

Although suspicious, the masked man's voice was unexpectedly neutral and calm, and he sounded very reliable.

"Yuanshan... No, you can just call me "Urobuchi Gen" or "Old Urobuchi". "

Chapter 283: The method to revive the giant is——

"Chaldeas is a scientific research institute established by the United Earth Peace Organization to detect the space environment and extraterrestrial life phenomena. It claims to be a scientific research base under the Space Development Bureau and is collectively called the "Observatory".

I am currently the executive director of Chaldea. This incident was determined to be related to anomalies in outer space, so I was sent to the headquarters. In name, I am a consultant to GUTS, but in fact, it is just to make the two departments cooperate better. "

The masked man who calls himself "Uzumaki" is theoretically of a higher rank than the captain, Iruma Kei, but there is no sense of arrogance in his words, which makes people feel good about him.

Because just now, the team members learned that this "advisor" position combines the authority of a commander and an inspector. He is like the embodiment of senior management. If he wants to, he can even give orders to the Victory Team from a high position.

After all, whether it is Team Victory (GUTS), the Space Development Agency, or Chaldea, they are all affiliated organizations of the Earth Peace Coalition (TPC). Even these elites need to respect the authority of the TPC top management.

But now it seems that the masked man has no intention of "seizing power" at all. Instead, he gives great respect to the team members and Iruma Hui, which reduces the sense of rejection in the team members' hearts.

Why did a consultant suddenly appear? I can only keep this question in my mind for the time being.

"Please rest assured, everyone has their own expertise. I have no intention of interfering in your areas of expertise. However, when I can play a role, please don't be shy and just rely on me."

"That's reassuring, Sir."

Although they had obtained permission, in a serious official organization like TPC, the Victory Team still could not casually call their leader "Old Kyon".

"But why are you the consultant?"

Team member Horii noticed something in the previous conversation: "You used to observe space, that is, study celestial bodies and stars, right? Does this have anything to do with the monster that appeared in Mongolia?"

"Because the Earth is also one of the stars. Looking up at the sky and looking down at the Earth are both studying celestial bodies."

Commander Xu chuckled, waved his hand and said, "Just a joke... Well, it actually has nothing to do with the ancient monsters in Mongolia."

"Super ancient monster?"

"That was a special life form that had been dormant in the earth. It just woke up this time for some reason. It was not originally under my jurisdiction, but—"

The masked man waved his hand, and the person behind him immediately pushed up a machine that looked like a freezer.

After the "freezer" was opened, everyone carefully took out a spherical black stone and placed it on the experimental table.

"Huh? Is this a meteorite? The shape is so regular, it's really rare."

Horii was immediately attracted by the meteorite: "How could the wear be so even... I have never seen such a structure."

"At the same time as the monster appeared, this thing fell on the earth. After preliminary identification by our Chaldeans, it was found that this was not a naturally formed meteorite, but was artificially created."

"A man-made meteorite?" Everyone was surprised.

They are not amazed by this technology (the technology in this world view is much more advanced than that of Earth in the 21st century), but they are wondering what the point of doing this is.

"This is not a solid stone. According to ultrasonic detection, there is a "core" inside. And after further testing and comparing radioactive samples, we found that the shell that wraps this thing is actually..."

Here, the masked man kept everyone in suspense in a somewhat malicious way, and only spoke leisurely when everyone was looking at him.

“It actually came from rock formations from 30 million years ago, which is the Cenozoic era.”

"How can it be!"

"No way……"

"This time span is so long that it doesn't feel real..."

"Then, there is the monster that appeared in Mongolia recently." After everyone gradually calmed down from their surprise, Commander Xu continued, "After the monster left, our personnel entered the cave where it appeared and found that the stratum where it was previously sleeping also happened to correspond to the "Cenozoic Era" 30 million years ago!"

"—"

The masked man looked around, saw everyone's reactions, and nodded.

"Now, does anyone still think that these two things are unrelated?"

"It's such a coincidence." Iruma Kei said seriously, "It's so coincidental that I can't believe this is an independent event."

"That is to say, there is some kind of internal cause and effect between these two events. Is it a chain reaction?" Vice Captain Zong Fang opened his eyes wide, "Too good to be true!"

"That's why I asked Chaldea to work with GUTS to handle this matter, because the scale of the incident has exceeded the handling limit of a single department."

Director Sawai said seriously: "I hope you can work together to overcome the difficulties."

Next, in order to obtain more information, everyone focused their attention on the meteorite.

The technicians at the headquarters operated carefully, using a miniature laser beam device to gradually cut the outer shell of the meteorite, and controlled the power to avoid damaging the inner core.

Seeing this scene, the masked man Lao Xu - Yuan Shan Jiang Liu, couldn't help but sigh silently in his heart.

"The technology tree of this world is much higher than that of the normal 21st century, not only in the field of space flight, but this portable laser cutter alone is very advanced.

They are progressing too fast. When I woke up last time, even the lunar base was just a concept. It’s only been a few years, and now they are thinking about transforming Mars..."

"Okay, everyone be careful and stand back!"

The technician called out loudly, and then several thick glass windows rose around the experimental table, enclosing the meteorite that had been cut into most parts.

Ka!

After the robotic arm completed the final steps, the outer shell of the meteorite finally cracked open, revealing the core.

"Well, there is no radioactive contamination, and no residual cosmic rays exceeding the standard have been found. It seems to be safe."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. After all, this was not an ordinary meteorite, and no one knew whether there was an angel or a devil inside.

Jiang Liu showed a meaningful smile through the mask.

"It's obviously man-made."

Being a scientist at heart, Horii is very interested in the cores of meteorites.

In terms of appearance, it is a conical silver-white device with a bright luster. It does not look like an antique at all, but rather full of a sense of futurism.

"Is there a way to activate it? Can I go in and study it?"

Just as Horii was looking at the device with great interest, the light in the command room suddenly dimmed, the lighting system instantly switched to emergency energy, and the dim lights came on.

hum!
