A disheveled young man rushed frantically through the gates of the medical school, carrying a lifeless man on his back.

"!!"

Lue Jiu's pupils suddenly contracted, and she quickly ran over.

"Quick! Lay the patient flat on the trolley! Get the defibrillator ready!!"

……

Fifth floor of the medical school, outside the intensive care unit.

The lights in the corridor flickered every now and then, emitting a buzzing sound.

Duan Zilian paced anxiously back and forth in the corridor like a headless fly, looking outside through the glass windows.

The dilapidated city was ablaze, and the mournful sirens of ambulances echoed into the distance.

On the streets outside the hospital, two GUTS members desperately tried to stop the Space Hunters with their Hyper guns.

Just then, the sound of several trucks braking suddenly came from outside the medical school.

At the front was a black sedan, but its appearance was obscured by the dim sky.

At this moment, the heavy, airtight door slowly slid open.

Lue Jiu removed the sterile mask from her face and walked out of the ICU with heavy steps.

"Doctor...how is he?"

Duan Zilian hurriedly ran over, swallowed hard, and could not hide the anxiety and fear in her eyes.

The man opposite her lowered his eyes, avoiding Duan Zilian's gaze.

He remained silent for a full five seconds before finally speaking slowly.

"Due to the lack of medical history, we are unable to determine the exact cause of his illness."

“Your brother’s body… has no fatal external injuries, but his vital signs are indeed rapidly declining.”

Lue Jiu's voice was filled with a deep sense of powerlessness.

"After examination, we suspect that this was a case of apparent brain death caused by extreme mental exhaustion."

"Defibrillators, cardiac stimulants... we've tried everything we could, but the brainwaves haven't improved at all."

"We... have done our best. The rest depends on his own willpower."

Upon hearing these words, Duan Zilian's pupils dilated for a moment.

He opened his mouth, but found that he didn't know what sound to make for a moment.

"Okay... thank you, doctor."

A few seconds later, Duan Zilian twitched the corners of her mouth, trying to force a smile, but the smile was even uglier than a cry.

"Sorry……"

Looking at the thin boy in front of her, Lue Jiu felt a pang of sorrow in her heart.

"It's fine."

Duan Zilian interrupted him, and his gaze gradually hardened.

"Can't we rely on willpower? Don't let my brother's gentle appearance fool you, he's actually very strong."

Duan Zilian's voice trembled slightly, but it carried an undeniable certainty.

"He still has many unfinished missions in this city, and many people he loves are waiting to see him."

"Therefore, I believe him."

After saying this, Duan Zilian took a step back and bowed deeply to Dr. Lue Jiu.

Then, he turned around and walked towards the stairwell without hesitation.

Lue Jiu watched the boy's departing figure and subconsciously wanted to raise her hand to call him back, but in the end she helplessly lowered her hand.

"This deep state of mental suspended animation can only be awakened by a miracle..."

Lue Jiu shook his head with a wry smile, looked out the window and muttered to himself.

"But... humanity should have perished long ago in the face of those monsters; it was those giants who saved us."

"In a way, this is already a miracle in itself."

"Since a miracle has already happened once..."

Lue Jiu closed her eyes.

"Then let's pray...that a miracle will happen again."

……

[Duan Zilian, you're not just Ultraman, you're also a living, breathing human being.]

Duan Zilian walked in the dimly lit stairwell, repeating the same words to herself over and over again.

He glanced down at the stone bracelet on his wrist. Right now, he was just a high school student who could be crushed by aliens with a flick of his wrist.

But... people are desperately trying to survive.

You still have these hands, you still have this life, you should do what a human being can do.

He took a deep breath, suppressing his grief about the future, and pushed open the fire door leading to the lobby on the first floor.

"All units should expedite the distribution of winter supplies! Set up new tents and stretchers on the south side as soon as possible!!"

Suddenly, a familiar girl's voice reached Duan Zilian's ears.

Duan Zilian was stunned; he even thought it was his imagination.

He walked out of the teaching building somewhat stiffly and came to the square crowded with refugees.

"Hayasaka! Go and coordinate the evacuation of the wounded from Sector D! Prioritize treating those who have lost blood!"

"Understood, Miss!"

Following the sound, one could see a petite figure moving through the dense crowd and stretchers.

Her jewel-like red eyes shone brightly in the pitch-black night.

"Grandma, it's alright, please drink this bowl of hot soup."

Kaguya Shinomiya knelt on the ground, holding an old woman's hands tightly, trying her best to soothe her emotions.

"You must believe that the light will definitely return. Before that, we humans must never give up on ourselves, okay?"

……

Just as she finished her psychological counseling session and stood up to turn around,

A slender young boy's figure quietly appeared in her field of vision.

The boy was also looking at her.

Those eyes were filled with disbelief and astonishment.

Amidst the hurried glances of countless wounded and medical personnel, Duan Zilian slowly spoke.

"Shinomiya-kun... what are you doing here...?"

He didn't even get a chance to finish speaking.

"Duanzi Lian!!!"

Kaguya Shinomiya rushed over almost instantly, as if she had seen the most important thing.

"Thank goodness...you're alright...thank goodness!!!"

The girl's suppressed emotions were finally released at this moment.

She clung tightly to Duan Zilian's waist, burying her face in his chest, her voice choked with undisguised sobs.

Duan Zilian was knocked back half a step and was momentarily at a loss.

His hands hung in mid-air, letting Kaguya Shinomiya hold him tightly.

Duan Zilian lowered her head. The girl in her arms was no longer fair-skinned; the gray dust testified to all her efforts and perseverance.

In that instant, heaven and earth seemed to freeze.

It was like a lonely, drifting boat finally crashing into its own lighthouse.

"Shinomiya-kun..."

Duan Zilian felt the trembling body of the girl in his arms, and his hand, which had been hanging in mid-air, finally fell gently down, stroking her head awkwardly but tenderly.

"I'm sorry to have worried you."

He said softly, his tone carrying a hint of relief.

Seemingly realizing her lapse in composure, Kaguya Shinomiya quickly broke free from Rei's embrace.

She put her hands behind her back, took two small steps back in an attempt to cover up her actions, and turned her head to one side, not daring to look Duan Zilian in the eye at all.

"I'm sorry... I was too sudden... I must have startled you."

"No, I wasn't scared..."

Chapter 204 Ultimate Super Beast Saurus

"boom--!"

The dull thud of flesh hitting the ground echoed through the dilapidated streets of Shinjuku.

Shinjo used an extremely violent over-the-shoulder throw to slam a cosmic hunter who was lunging at him to the ground.

Before the other person could struggle, he swiftly drew his Victory Hyper gun from his waist and killed him in one fell swoop.

"No...it's alright now, let's go."

Xincheng, panting heavily, pulled up the boy who had collapsed beside him.

The boy bowed repeatedly to express his gratitude, then scrambled and crawled away towards the Anding District.

Shinjo wiped the sweat from his face and exchanged a glance with Horii, who was standing back to back with him.

They gripped their weapons again and advanced step by step into the deeper alleys.

Just then, another disgusting alien with a huge mouth appeared at the street corner in front of them.

Shinjo looked at the alien in front of him, then glanced at Horii beside him.

"Horii, how much energy do you have left in your Hyper Gun?"

"Let me take a look... 10% left, what about you?"

"I still have 20%, it seems I'm more accurate after all."

Xincheng grinned and gave a dry laugh.

"At a time like this, you still have the mind to compare things? Xincheng, you're really quite boring."

The two made a joke amidst their predicament, which slightly eased the suffocatingly tense atmosphere around them.

Shinjo and Horii approached the alien in front of them step by step.

But in the next second.

"Sayonara!!!"

Suddenly, another figure appeared at the corner on the other side of the street.

The person flew through the air and kicked the alien hard in the head!

"boom!"

The alien's head exploded like a watermelon, splattering foul-smelling bodily fluids all over the ground.

"Finish! Another one solved!"

The man nimbly rolled over in the puddle and landed steadily.

He tossed his long brown hair, just about to strike a pose and turn away, when his gaze suddenly froze as he swept over two teammates.

Shinjo and Horii stared in disbelief at the person who had saved the day.
