Ultraman, is this defense team up with you?

Reset your main form, Ultraman Tiga.

With the improvement of his physical fitness and recovery ability, Ye Cheng's fatigue was quickly eliminated once again.

In less than a minute, the panting was replaced by even breathing.

Such an obvious change made Yoko and Asuna, who were already used to being out of breath, stare at him intently for a while.

"How do you even manage to recover like that?!"

"Captain, I really want to learn this!"

Yoko looked at Shota Hebikura expectantly. She was genuinely moved. This looked like the result of human experimentation, didn't it?

If she could truly possess that kind of power, she'd be willing to sacrifice a few years of her life.

Anyway, old age isn't all that great. Maybe I'll suffer less and even join the winning team.

"Well... not right now."

Considering Ye Cheng's presence, Jugglus Juggler didn't immediately rule out the possibility of a definitive answer.

In fact, although Project Ebloon failed, it was because it was directly related to monster cells.

If it doesn't involve monsters,

Similar enhancement technologies do exist in the universe, and they are quite safe, although the amplification effect is limited.

There are even technologies that go a little too far, such as using nanobots to absorb monster genes to enhance human genes. While relatively safe, these technologies carry certain risks, but in return, they offer very high strength.

According to Jugglus Juggler, there are people on Earth who are researching this.

Perhaps in a few years, with the help of superiors like Yuu Tsuchihashi or Yoichiro Matsunaga, Yoko and the other frontline soldiers might actually have a chance to be strengthened.

Gathering his thoughts, Jugglus Juggler raised his hand and glanced at the time.

"It's already 11 o'clock, let's all go eat together."

……

Meanwhile, in the K1 area, above the commercial building.

A black wormhole suddenly opened.

An alien with long sleeve swords on both arms, resembling a black, super ugly version of Leo, jumped out from it.

The wormhole flashed by in an instant, leaving those who briefly witnessed it wondering if they were hallucinating.

Chapter 22: Hyemi vs. Carmilla - Do you know?

Everyone took a shower in the specially provided shower room next door, changed into their team uniforms, and headed towards the TPC cafeteria in a grand procession.

Ye Cheng was naturally wearing the classic red and white uniform of the Victory Team.

Asuna and Yoko, on the other hand, wore a black, fitted uniform that offered better flexibility and was more suitable for combat.

After getting my food, I sat down opposite the two women. Several people wearing the same uniforms as the two women started pointing and whispering.

Ye Cheng could more or less guess the reason from the two women's high popularity, so he ignored it.

Actually, Captain Hebikura was originally walking with them, but halfway through the journey, when they passed a restroom, he suddenly said he needed to use the restroom, and they parted ways.

If Hebikura had been there, perhaps there wouldn't have been any controversy.

"To be honest, I didn't even know which department you were from."

“The intelligence department, huh?” Asuna was the first to reply.

"The intelligence department?" Ye Cheng looked suspicious.

He'd seen Hye-mi's team uniform before, and the two of them didn't look like they belonged in the intelligence department at all.

"That's right~"

It also ended with "oh," but the tone was more playful than Asuna's aloofness, which immediately made Ye Cheng realize who the person was.

"Yo yo yo, isn't this our team member Huimei?"

"Hehe, not bad, you can even recognize my voice."

After putting down her plate, Huimei immediately nudged Ye Cheng with her shoulder and winked at him.

“They are all members of the intelligence department’s search and investigation team, or combat members, while we are purely intelligence gathering specialists.”

After the explanation, to Ye Cheng's surprise, Hui Mei suddenly performed a dramatic face-changing act, staring intently at him like a resentful young wife.

"Why are you looking at me like that? Like a jealous little wife."

"What are you saying, you're really going at it!" Hui Mei blushed for a moment and punched Ye Cheng on the shoulder.

Why do you think I'm looking at you like that?

Ye Cheng rolled his eyes and said, "How am I supposed to know if you don't tell me?"

Resting her chin on her hand, Huimei glanced at Ye Cheng's reaction with some suspicion. "You really don't know?"

"Say it!"

"Come closer, I'll whisper something to you..."

Ye Cheng was also intrigued by the woman, so he tilted his head slightly.

Immediately afterward, Ye Cheng felt a rush of heat to his ears. "The rumors about you and a certain deputy captain have spread throughout our intelligence department. One of the girls in the intelligence department said that you two slept together."

As she spoke, Huimei gestured with her eyes to the passersby in the restaurant who were wearing similar uniforms to hers, Yoko's, and Asuna's, and who were frequently glancing at them.

Although it was very quiet, the distance was too short.

For a moment, the two women were dumbfounded. Was this melon we could eat without paying?

"Forehead……"

Ye Cheng was also surprised. What kind of box-related experts did TPC recruit?!

How could something like this be exposed on the same day?

He also remembered the female employee he had bumped into that morning.

Seriously, that's a dead end for Getty. How could this be an intelligence officer who just happens to be capable of opening the box?

"On the other hand, if it was disseminated without my consent, can I sue her?"

"So this is true?" Huimei's pupils widened.

"So this is the key point?"

"Isn't it?"

Ye Cheng and Hui Mei locked eyes, and in the end, Ye Cheng gave in.

"Okay, it is indeed quite important."

"So...it's true?"

"Yes, I admit it's true, but you have to believe that nothing happened between us."

Yoko: "!"

Asuna: "!"

This is absolutely amazing!

For a moment, the two women looked at Ye Cheng with shock and disbelief, unable to believe that Ye Cheng was so extraordinary in matters of the heart, even saying such an absurd thing as sleeping in the same room and nothing happening.

Girl, you don't actually believe that, do you?

Huimei: “?”

"Do you think I'm stupid?"

"But the truth is we each sleep in our own rooms," Ye Cheng said calmly.

"Really?"

Hye-mi had a look on her face as if she were looking at a scumbag.

"You're already in the room, how could nothing have happened? You weren't sleeping in the same bed?"

"Forehead……"

Ye Cheng was speechless.

"You're still sleeping in the same bed!!!"

Hui Mei's eyes widened to the largest they had ever seen, and she stood up abruptly, completely shocked. Her mood instantly soured.

Although she spoke very softly, the mere act of standing up attracted a large crowd of attention.

Ye Cheng quickly apologized to everyone on her behalf.

Seeing Ye Cheng's calm demeanor, Hui Mei regained her patience and sat back down next to him.

"This is a complicated matter to explain, but it goes like this... Do you understand?"

Ye Cheng explained the whole story in a low voice.

"Besides, I was so exhausted last night, you were the one who helped me back. What could possibly have happened?"

Ye Cheng told everything, except for the reason why Carmilla opened the box.

Because of this missing part, the whole story seems to be that Carmilla was only interested in him. As for what kind of interest it was?

Those who know are interested in the identity of the Giant of Light, while those who don't can only associate it with sexual interest.

Yoko: "!"

Asuna: "!"

Last night, he was so exhausted, Huimei helped him back... Considering Ye Cheng's abnormal recovery ability,

The two girls quickly came up with a series of little scenarios in their minds, they were so embarrassed!

Looking at it this way, isn't Hye-mi's physique also surprisingly strong?

But when I think about how Ye Cheng still had to go to other women's rooms under these circumstances, I feel that Ye Cheng is really a scumbag, and Hui Mei is the victim who was deceived. It's really so tragic!

For a moment, the two women simply couldn't stand it anymore.

Asuna screamed in her heart: Don't trust him, Emi! You haven't seen this man's insane regenerative abilities!

Yoko was more straightforward, "As far as I know, Ye Cheng, your recovery ability is excellent, isn't it?"

"Forehead!?"

Ye Cheng didn't expect Yoko to say that, but he still explained.

"But I really burned out yesterday."

Yesterday, Tiga's transformation exhausted his energy, so naturally he couldn't recover enough.

In comparison, Huimei knew how hard Ye Cheng had worked yesterday, and his exhaustion couldn't have been faked. Between Ye Cheng and the two women, she chose to believe Ye Cheng.

"Okay, so can you be sure that the bad woman really didn't do anything to you?"

what!

She believed it!

The two women exchanged a glance, both seeing the shock and bewilderment in each other's eyes.

Yu Guang noticed the situation and Hui Mei sighed, unable to bear seeing Ye Cheng's reputation damaged.

"It's like this, you may have misunderstood something. Yesterday, Ye Cheng fought very hard in the battle to eliminate Golza and Ebloon. He fought with his life on the line and was really exhausted. Besides, we are not in a romantic relationship."

"what!?"

The two women, realizing the misunderstanding, blushed deeply, especially Yoko, who had spoken up; she was utterly ashamed.

"Private Marseille! Team member Ye Cheng!"
