These soldiers are always on the front line, protecting the citizens. Aki lost Shirayuki, but the TAC team and the defense forces have already lost countless soldiers. Usually, when there is an attack by super beasts, they hide under their protection. Who has the right to blame these TAC members?
"Shirayuki, is there really no other way to get it back?"
"We have been working hard to find it and have never given up the search. If there is any news, we will inform you as soon as possible."
This is not a cliché. The TAC team has indeed not stopped searching until now. Bai Xue's disappearance is not caused by natural factors. It is very likely that the Yabo people intervened.
The same was true for the previous missile transport plan. As long as the TAC team made any move, the Yabo people would find ways to sabotage it. Earth's intelligence was like a sieve, and the Yabo people were almost defenseless. The technological gap was like a chasm, and it was indeed impossible to defend against it.
Not to mention the difference in civilization level, even if there is only a technological gap of several decades, if the current military technology goes back to World War II, any of the five permanent members can play around with the top powers like the United States at that time. Orbital satellites monitor all day and intercontinental missiles drop nuclear bombs. There is no way to play around.
Beidou was not good at comforting people, there was nothing he could do except apologize. After waiting for a while, he found that there was nothing else to say, and any comfort would be empty, so he followed Ling out of the forest ranger hut.
"Didn't you feel anything at the time?"
Ling asked as they strolled along the forest path. It was just her and Beidou here, so there was no need to hide the topic.
Ling was not there at the time, so she didn't know what happened. But Beidou and Nan Xizi were there, which meant that Ace's sight was always there.
"No, neither I nor Team Nan found anything unusual."
"It looks like it's going to be very troublesome. If Shirayuki is just missing, that's not the worst case scenario. I'm afraid..."
Lingye was only halfway through her words when Beidou's communicator rang. He and Lingye looked at each other and answered the call without hesitation.
"This is Beidou, headquarters please."
"This is TAC headquarters," Noriko's voice came from the communicator, "Members of the Hokuto team, please return to headquarters immediately. A super beast has appeared. The captain and Yamanaka have already set off on the Eagle. The captain orders you to board the Airo for support as soon as you return to the base."
After a few weeks of calm, the super beast finally appeared again.
Beidou was not panicked. Even in peacetime, he was always ready to attack.
"Where did the Ultra Beast appear? Tokyo?"
“No, it’s in Hokkaido!”
"What? Why is it Hokkaido?"
Hokkaido does not have any important military towns or economic centers, and in many places people still work from sunrise to sunset.
Since the frequent invasion of the Earth by monsters and aliens six years ago, there have been few incidents in Hokkaido in the past six years. After all, there is not much value in invading there, it is just a bunch of farms.
"Are there any images sent back from the scene? What kind of super beast is it?"
"There are satellite images, but they're not very clear. Overall, it looks like a big strange bird."
"Strange bird?"
"No, maybe it's a pigeon." Ling also interrupted.
Capturing Earth creatures and transforming them into super beasts has always been the specialty of the Yawa people. Beidou also realized this, and he also agreed with Lingye's guess, because that is what the Yawa people have always liked to do.
"Hokkaido, because Shirayuki's pigeon coop is in Hokkaido, it's her instinct to return to the nest... Wait, so the place that was attacked is Sister Aki's hometown?"
Realizing this, the two men subconsciously looked towards the lighted ranger's hut behind them.
"Sister Aki must not know about this."
If Aki knew that the homing pigeons she raised had attacked her hometown, she would be very sad. At least before the matter was investigated, there was no need to make Aki even sadder.
"Brother Beidou, I want to go to the scene too."
Beidou nodded. He had no reason to refuse.
Chapter 112 Super Beast Attacks
Sirens blare over the town of Shimizu in Hokkaido.
Unlike when Tokyo was attacked by super beasts, the streets were filled with people taking refuge. Hokkaido is vast and sparsely populated. Even neighbors with adjacent house numbers are often several miles apart. Looking down from the air, the people taking refuge in groups of two or three did not even cause congestion. The shelter was quickly completed.
A huge strange bird landed on the ground from the sky.
There are farms all around here. Although people evacuated, the farm animals did not have time to move.
At first, Chao Beast just stood there blankly, seemingly confused about the environment he was in. He was instinctively familiar with it, but the once familiar scenery had become as small as toys.
The pigeon's brain capacity is not high, and at this time, even its brain has been replaced with a super beast control chip. The violent thoughts are stimulated by the remote control of the Yabo people in another dimension.
The super beast began to flap its wings. Sand and rocks flew everywhere, and the hurricane tore through the fences of farms, destroying large warehouses, stables, and farms. Some cattle and sheep were crushed under the rubble, while others were swept into the air by the hurricane.
It began to rain heavy rain on poultry and livestock. Even the birds that could fly were swept into the air by the flying sand and rocks, and were smashed into a pulp when they hit the ground.
Faced with such a natural disaster, neither animals nor plants have any resistance.
The strange bird spit out flames from its mouth, setting the barns on fire. Whole sections of the barns were burning, and because they were all flammable, it only took a few minutes for the fire to spread to the surrounding grasslands.
From a distance, it looked as if the entire grassland and forest were covered by fire, and even the originally dark sky was turned the color of flames.
When the TAC team's plane arrived, what they saw was a sea of fire.
"Yoshimura, you drive the Universe. I remember there are special freezing warheads on the Universe that can be used to put out fires."
"understand!"
Yoshimura unbuckled his seat belt and went to the cockpit of the Cosmos. The Cosmos then separated from the Eagle's carrying cabin and began firefighting operations.
The super beast continued to stir up hurricanes and spit out flames. The fire became more and more intense in the hurricane, showing a tendency to spread all over the prairie.
"Listen to my orders, start attacking now and stop the super beast from causing further damage!"
"Captain, I think this super beast looks a bit like a pigeon." In the back seat of the cabin, Nan Xizi, who was in charge of observation, said hesitantly, "Also, Shimizu Town is Miss Aki's hometown as far as I can remember."
Captain Long was silent for a moment, and some emotions made it difficult for him to speak. However, the order to attack had already been issued, and it was not affected by anyone's emotions.
The red button for firing was pressed, and Yamanaka and Konno began to pour out ammunition. Missiles and rockets exploded one after another on the super beast. The strange bird super beast was also blown back step by step and stopped moving.
Of course he knew what Nan Xizi was talking about.
The missing pigeon flew over a thousand kilometers, just as it was meant to be as a homing pigeon. But it is no longer the same as it was before, and what greets it is no longer a warm nest.
It became a super beast and could never return home.
If it weren't for the TAC team's plan, the snow-white pigeon would still be flying freely in the blue sky. Its fate changed because of the TAC team.
No calamity.
However, this kind of thing happened in the past, is happening now, and will definitely happen again in the future. The TAC team, or the human race, will inevitably continue to climb to the endless peak of technology because of their backwardness and weakness.
Of course, we will be stopped time and time again, and we will pay expected and unexpected costs. But unless we surrender to the alien invaders, no one can stop. We can either fall down halfway or keep going.
It is not just the Earth. Every civilization is moving forward with slow steps.
Therefore, the pigeons used by the TAC team in observation experiments were transformed into super beasts. No matter whether the Yabo people were playing with humans or trying to intimidate them, they could not back down.
"Captain, the Gaara is here too!"
Another TAC plane flew in the sky in the distance.
Hokuto was the only person on the plane. Just after entering Shimizu Town, Ling also left the plane. Without using a parachute, she turned into light and disappeared from the plane.
They took a ride all the way, which was considered a hitchhike, but when they really reunited, there was a little civilian girl on the Gaara, and Beidou found it difficult to explain.
At this time, Ling was also standing on a distant hill, looking at the grassland where super beasts were wreaking havoc.
The Universe was trying to put out the fire, but the fire still could not be brought under control immediately. In the cool autumn weather, everything was dry, and a candle flame could cause a disaster, not to mention that the fire was started by a super beast, and the fire dragon with a temperature of tens of thousands of degrees in its mouth swept through, so the Cosmic's solidification bomb was a drop in the bucket.
At this time, dark clouds floated in the sky from nowhere.
It was raining. At first it was just fine raindrops, but soon the dark clouds grew thicker and thicker, like a funnel, sucking in the surrounding clouds. Amidst the thunder and lightning, heavy rain poured down.
The heavy rain accompanied by strong winds also had a certain impact on the TAC team's aircraft.
"Yoshimura, the rain is too heavy, stop the firefighting operation and come back quickly! Beidou, you should also go back to the Eagle first." Captain Long ordered.
As an aerial fortress, the Eagle, with a body of more than 200 meters, is like a castle in the air, so such wind and rain are nothing. But for small fighters like Gaara and Universe, such an environment is enough to cause a plane crash.
What's more, there was no need to put out the fire during the heavy rain.
The fire gradually died down, and only a curtain of rain remained between heaven and earth. Under the inky black sky, the fire in the field dimmed and then went out. The darkness swallowed everything, and nothing could be seen.
It was a downpour in Hokkaido, but perhaps because the atmospheric environment was disturbed, wind began to blow even in Tokyo. Clouds rubbed against each other, rumbling thunder was heard, and a flash of lightning illuminated the sky like day.
Aki, who was sitting in the rocking chair, suddenly buried her head in her knees.
"Are you afraid of thunder?"
Aki shook his head.
"But Snow White is afraid."
Snow White is afraid of thunder. It has always been afraid of it. Perhaps because it usually relies on the magnetic field to identify the direction of home, it is particularly sensitive to thunder and lightning.
"What should we do? It must be frightened by the thunder and lightning, and it won't be able to find its way home. Yongwu, Bai Xue really can't come back--"
Hachiken hugged Aki.
Naturally, although it was the first time for them to be so close to each other, neither of them felt anything else, and there was no lustful thought in their hearts. It was as if they had already gotten used to each other.
"No, Team TAC is working hard to find her. They are so powerful that they can even kill Ultra Beasts. They will definitely be able to find Snow White!"
The heavy rain over Shimizu Town, Hokkaido did not last long. After more than ten minutes, the rain gradually subsided. The dark clouds dispersed, revealing the washed starry sky.
"Captain, the rain has stopped."
"The fire is out, but the rain seems to be coming down just to put it out. May the Buddha bless us, Amitabha." Konno said half jokingly. There is little rain in autumn, and such heavy rain is even rarer.
The speaker did not mean it, but Captain Long's heart moved, but he did not say anything.
Both the Cosmos and Airo returned to the Eagle's carrier bay, and except for Noriko who was guarding the base headquarters, all the team members had gathered.
"Anyway, the most important thing now is to destroy the Ultra Beast. Beidou, Minami, you two will drive the Cosmos, and Yoshimura, you will drive the Gaara."
The Airo is limited to 1 person, while the Cosmos is limited to 2 people.
Beidou and Yoshimura's vehicles were swapped, but no one thought much about it. Beidou and Minami often attacked as partners, so this arrangement was not surprising.
"But Captain, the skin of this super beast is really tough." Shan Zhong was inspired. A round of ammunition had been fired before, but the super beast seemed to be still unharmed, with not even a few feathers lost.
"It seems that ordinary ammunition can't deal with it. I ask you to use the V7 missile!"
After thwarting the Yabo people's conspiracy at Firefly Plains, three V3 missiles were successfully transported to the TAC team's headquarters base, two of which were put into storage and the other was mounted on the Eagle's weapon rack.
It was originally developed as a weapon for the Eagle.
V7 can be said to be the biggest killer of the TAC team. In addition to having no radiation, the energy at the center of the explosion is not weaker than that of a nuclear weapon. It uses the annihilation energy of antimatter, and the raw materials come from the invaders' spacecraft that were once captured with the help of Ultraman.
Although humans have had relevant theories for a long time, they have no ability to extract and preserve antimatter. That thing will be annihilated whenever it comes into contact with any matter, and there is no possibility of preserving it by human means.
