Are you worthy enough to listen to what I, Shura Armor, have to say?

As a scientist, Horii is indeed the most suitable person to go to the space observation center, because if there is anything left there, with his knowledge reserves he can definitely use it at the first time.

However, choosing to take the risk and go with the girl now is certainly not as simple as looking for information, because the safety level of going down the mountain and joining the main force and then coming back up is definitely more than one level higher than going up the mountain directly now. If he was not worried about the girl's safety, he would definitely not choose to go up at this time.

The girl was actually a very sensible person. After a little thought, she understood why Horii did this. Looking at Horii who was preparing ammunition, she changed her opinion of the TPC staff for the first time.

"Well, then I will go down the mountain and break out."

Dagu said with a smile that the two people's tasks were assigned simply and quickly.

The next day, as soon as some light appeared in the sky, the three of them sneaked back to the village and found the motorcycle. At this time, the sounds of Haotian fighting with the monsters could be heard not far away.

"Monkey steals peach!"

"Finding the moon from the sea!"

"Snake steps, cat turns!"

“Crows fly!”

Hearing the fierce fighting, the three knew that the battle that lasted for a day and a night was definitely not over yet, so they immediately got on their motorcycles and prepared to rush to their destination.

The girl and Horii sat in one car, while Daigu rode one alone, and drove away into the distance with the roar of the engine.

"Um...thank you..."

Sitting in the back of Horii's car, the girl hugged Horii's big belly a little awkwardly: "It's because of my willfulness that you have to protect me, so thank you..."

"Why bother thanking me? I'm a member of the Victory Team. Protecting the people is my duty." Horii laughed and continued to speed up. "Also, sit tight. I'll rush over as fast as I can. Otherwise, Daigu will be here with reinforcements soon!"

The motorcycle raced across the mountain at a speed unimaginable for a normal motorcycle, and soon disappeared from sight. At this moment, Mr. Daiko, who was highly regarded by Horii...

"hiss!"

The monster obviously didn't want anyone to break out of the encirclement. Although most of the troops had been occupied by Haotian, guards were still deployed on the edge of the mountain area. Just as Dagu was about to leave, a tumor suddenly pounced on him and threw Dagu off the motorcycle.

Dagu was unable to dodge and was bitten on the neck. Just when he was about to be parasitized, fortunately he fell beside a stream. The tumor melted when it came into contact with water just like concentrated sulfuric acid, but Dagu also fainted and was washed away by the current.

Volume 102: Chapter : Dagu Floating in the Water

Horii rode a motorcycle with the girl speeding all the way. The good news was that the monsters seemed to be attracted by Haotian and Dagu, and they could almost have a smooth journey.

And the bad news, which I don’t know if I can call it bad news, is...

"What are these things?"

On the small path, Horii and the girl who were chasing the huge luminous object saw a huge tumor-like meteorite with red spots. Around the meteorite, countless creatures parasitized by small pink fleshy balls surrounded it from all directions.

Among these creatures, Horii keenly noticed many humans in white coats with TPC badges hanging around their necks. They were obviously employees of the Space Observation Center.

Under the gaze of Horii and the girl, those creatures slowly fell down as if their strength had been drained. The tumors on the back of their necks also grew larger, and finally returned to the huge meteorite body, feeding the meteorite.

"Are they...dead?"

The girl grabbed Horii's hand with some fear. After going through a series of events yesterday, she now has come to trust Horii very much.

“No, not at all.”

Horii didn't notice the girl's subconscious movements. He used his knowledge to carefully analyze and said, "Look at those people who fell down. After that, new tumors attached to them. If they died, I think there would be no way to possess them again."

"But it's strange. Logically speaking, for these parasitic creatures from outer space, they shouldn't have the concept of 'moderation'. Once they absorb the energy of a living being, they should absorb all of that energy."

This is the conclusion reached after experiencing so many invasions by cosmic creatures and summarizing the information brought by Lucia and her siblings.

The universe is very vast. Creatures that have lived in the universe for a long time without a home planet will eat up all the energy without hesitation in order to ensure that their energy reserves can last until they encounter the next planet with life. There is no concept of sustainable development in their minds at all.

"Then why is this monster different?" the girl asked curiously.

"I don't know about this either."

Horii scratched his head. After all, he was not specialized in this field and it was impossible for him to know everything. This kind of problem was Ryosuke's specialty.

Oh, how happy it would be if Ryosuke were here with me in jail right now.

Just as he was thinking about whether there was anything useful, some patrolling tumors came back and saw the two of them. Seeing that things were not going well, Horii hurriedly took the girl and ran away. However, the girl had been almost a day and a night, and her physical strength had long been exhausted. She couldn't help but ask breathlessly:

"You've already found these guys' true forms, so why don't you just destroy them right away?"

"Idiot, are you awake?!"

Horii looked a bit chubby, but since he'd passed the Victory Team's test, his physical fitness couldn't be that bad. So, while protecting the girl, he still had time to respond, "That guy is as tall as a mountain. You expect me to take him down with a tiny pistol? We have to find his weakness!"

"weakness..."

When the girl heard this word, she suddenly thought of something. Before she met Haotian and the other two, she was being chased by those monsters, but after she accidentally fell into the lake, the monsters stopped chasing her.

Because the experience along the way was so thrilling, she had never thought about it. Now that Horii asked her, she immediately remembered the experience.

"Water, these guys might be afraid of water!"

The girl spoke loudly to Horii who was standing beside her, and Horii quickly used his clever brain to figure out the whole story.

"I see, no wonder you were wet when I first saw you."

Horii immediately came up with a way to deal with these guys. There is an artificial rainmaking system in the space observation center. As long as he goes there, with his professional knowledge, he can find a way to create rain, which should be able to destroy the meteorite.

Thinking of this, Horii immediately perked up and took the girl all the way to the research institute of the Space Development Center.

"call..."

Horii closed the door with all his might, and only breathed a sigh of relief after making sure that the fog outside could not come in for the time being. Then he immediately took the girl to the main control room to look for information and the artificial rainfall system.

However, since it was Horii's first time here, he almost got lost after making many turns. Instead, the girl skillfully led Horii to the main control room, and then expertly found the information and control system here.

"Miss, you...?"

Seeing the girl's actions, Horii immediately realized that she was no ordinary person. The girl just smiled and said to him apologetically, "I want to apologize for my previous attitude. I initially thought that all of you in the Victory Team were like my father, the kind of people who only cared about work and had no humanity."

"Your father?"

"He used to work here, and he would just stare at the stars, not caring about anything at home... That's why I desperately want to stay here, because if I die here, maybe I can see him in heaven..."

There was a hint of sadness in the girl's tone. She looked at a spaceship model on the workbench with a complicated expression, stroking it as if she was missing something.

Horii was also familiar with that model because it was the model of the Gipta-3.

Wait, could it be...?

Horii immediately realized something. Since it was related to the Space Observation Center and Gipta-3, he could probably guess the girl's identity.

"Miss, I've never asked your name before."

"My surname is Esaki, Chizuru Esaki"

"So, could it be that Dr. Ezaki on the Gipta-3 is your...?"

"Yeah," Jiang Qi Chizuru nodded calmly and replied: "He is my father."

It turned out to be the case.

Now Horii finally understood why Chizuru kept coming to the Space Development Center regardless of the danger.

Because this is where her father devoted his life.

About a year ago, an extremely powerful monster appeared in the universe.

It devoured the Gipta-III spacecraft that was exploring the universe, targeted the energy sources on Earth, and wreaked havoc on the planet.

That monster was really powerful, so powerful that even Tiga couldn't defeat it. When Haotian hadn't made his debut and TPC weapons and equipment were not too advanced, this was equivalent to declaring that mankind was about to be finished.

But in the end, it still lost, lost to the humans whom it looked down upon and swallowed at will.

TPC stuffed the information of Gipta-3's previous life as a human into the monster's body. Under the shouts of the New City team members and their own will, the three astronauts on Gipta-3 controlled the monster, giving Tiga the opportunity to defeat the monster.

Finally, their will turned into light and flew into the universe, but no one knew where they ended up.

Horii often thought that maybe until today they are still somewhere in the universe, silently guarding the earth and mankind until the end of their radiant life.

Unexpectedly, the girl he met by chance turned out to be the daughter of one of the three astronauts, so Horii couldn't help but say to Chizuru Ezaki: "Your father was really a very powerful and brave man. He fought as a human until the last moment of his life and defeated an opponent that even Ultraman Tiga had a hard time with. It was really amazing."

There was not a trace of falsehood in Horii's words. He really admired people like Dr. Ezaki. This admiration and sincerity was naturally captured by Chizuru and involuntarily turned into a good impression of Horii.

Mr. Horii...is truly a good person.

Although the atmosphere between the two of them had become somewhat romantic, no one had forgotten what the occasion was. After arriving at the main control room, Horii had been trying to use the artificial rainfall system to produce rain, but this place was too close to the main body of the meteorite, and fog quickly came out through the ventilation pipes. Horii had no choice but to continue pulling Chizuru to escape.

In the chaos, he only had time to take a few observation reports on the center of the meteorite from the Space Observation Center and quickly left the scene. However, Chizuru's physical strength no longer allowed her to continue running like this. Seeing that the other party was about to be caught up by the fog, Horii subconsciously pushed the other party away, and his neck was entangled by the tumor.

"Mr. Horii!"

Chizuru panicked and pulled the other person into the corner, trying hard to pull the tumor on Horii's neck, trying to pull it away.

"Run quickly... Daiko will soon send someone to rescue us... Let's go..." Horii felt that he was going to die soon, so he tried hard to let the other party go first, but Chizuru refused to let go and said through gritted teeth:

"Didn't you say that you admired your father, who fought as a human until the very end?!"

"Ah...yeah..."

Horii gritted his teeth and then grabbed the tumor that was crawling towards his brain. The two of them worked together to tear it off along with some flesh and skin, and then threw it on the ground.

"You bastard, stop looking down on humans!"

Horii shot the tumor directly, and the small tumor exploded and scattered on the spot, but the others were not seriously injured because of timely treatment.

This shot also triggered the fire alarm system in the sky. A large amount of water fell from the sky, and the little meatball had no way to get over it.

Just when the two were thinking that they could finally breathe a sigh of relief, two men in raincoats suddenly rushed over.

These two were obviously also parasitic beings, but their levels were obviously different. The raincoats they wore could effectively isolate moisture, and they were not afraid of the water falling from the sky at all, and they quickly rushed up.

It was impossible for Horii to use a gun against two civilians, and now he was injured. In addition, he was not very good at close combat, so he was soon surrounded and sandwiched by two strong men on the left and right. Just when he thought he was really finished, a pair of strong hands grabbed the two strong men in front of him.

"Bad Brain, Caterpillar, are you two shameless guys possessed? I was wondering why I couldn't find you two."

Haotian's voice echoed in the room, and the two strong men were lifted up by him like chickens. They struggled desperately in mid-air, but how could they possibly resist Haotian? Haotian casually stripped off their raincoats and threw them into the water.

The tumors that were parasitic on their bodies were decomposed in an instant, and the two of them lay on the ground very peacefully, with their eyes closed and legs kicked up, and it was unknown whether they were dead or not.

"Xiao Tian?"

Horii stood up with the help of Chizuru. He had never felt that Haotian looked so pleasing to the eye in his life: "But how did you get here? Aren't you on the other side?"

"I just finished beating up those guys and followed the light source. I heard the sound of fighting here and quickly came over to you." Haotian said: "But speaking of it, is there something in the water? Why did this monster disappear as soon as it touched the water?"

"No, it seems that these guys are simply afraid of water. How did you get here when you don't even know this?" Horii asked in confusion. Seeing Haotian unharmed, he thought that the other party had outsmarted him.

"Well... Anyway, I just used my wrist to solve it."

Haotian thought about the villagers who were beaten black and blue by him. Although the injuries were not fatal, they were unable to stand up again for a while. He decided not to think about this matter for the time being.

Of course, Horii was very curious about how the solution using arm strength was solved, but now was not the time to discuss this.

"Hori, now that we've found their weakness, is there any way to kill them directly?" Haotian pondered, "Is it related to that big glowing ball outside? If I go up and tear it apart right now, can these things stop moving?"

Horii nodded. "Theoretically, that's right. The meteorite contains the monster's true form. All the monsters were successfully combined by the meteorite, but..."

As we all know, most things in this world end up like this. When things are about to become troublesome, these two words will naturally appear, and this time is no exception.

"It seems we can't attack the monster directly this time."

Haotian:?

Horii took out the research report on meteorites left by the Space Observation Center. It contained their analysis and report on the meteorites. As a professional, Horii summarized the information in just a few minutes.

"Let me make it short. According to the report from the Space Observation Center, they seem to have discovered life reactions from Earth within this meteorite. Preliminary inference is that it should be a species similar to humans, or even a human. This person's biological reactions are closely linked to those within the meteorite, giving people the feeling of a pregnant woman and her fetus."

"Uh... to put it simply?"

Zhang Yuhaotian applied for Chinese translation.

"There was a person in the meteorite, and he was assimilated with the meteorite."

"what?"

ps: Today, the author wrote a chapter, the chapter title is Dagu is floating in the water.

The author showed it to the cat, and the cat asked, "Boss, what kind of meow is this?"

I said this is Horii's adventure story of being single.

Then the cat said, Boss, where is Dagu, meow?

I said Dagu was floating in the water.
