"But why attack the equipment warehouse? There's nothing important there."
The equipment warehouse is where individual equipment is stored, including gas masks and military tactical bags that are usually used, which are carried when going out on field missions. The most powerful weapon, the individual rockets that Konno usually uses, is stored in part.
"No matter what, we can't let the enemy wreak havoc in our base!" Nan Xizi glanced at the corridor behind her, but didn't see Beidou. At the same time, her ring didn't flash.
Nan Xizi bit her lip.
"I remember there is an exhaust device in the equipment warehouse. If it is turned on, the thick fog will be sucked out from the exhaust vent."
There were not only exhaust devices to prevent oxygen deficiency, but also fire sprinklers for fire extinguishing. I felt that the smoke sprinkler had started to operate automatically, and the fire alarm sounded. Water began to spray indoors and in the corridors, but the water flow did not filter out the smoke.
"What are you going to do, Nan Xizi?"
"I rushed in and turned on the exhaust."
"Don't be ridiculous. Look at the density of the smoke in there. You might die if you go in!"
"It's okay. I can hold my breath. My longest breath-holding record is two minutes and ten seconds. You should all remember that, right? I hold the record for the longest breath-holding in the TAC team."
This is indeed true. Nan Xizi is very good at swimming and her record for underwater swimming is up to two minutes.
"But even so...wait, Nan Xizi, come back soon!"
Nan Xizi has already plunged into the thick fog.
The fog was so thick that I couldn't see the road ahead at all. Unless I put my hands close to my eyes, I wouldn't be able to see my fingers if I stretched them forward.
Fortunately, Lu Nan Xizi was not unfamiliar with this place, and she walked quickly along the wall. She didn't dare to run, fearing that she would lose her breath due to intense exercise. She groped her way and soon found the door of the equipment room.
The door is open.
"Exhaust device, exhaust device."
She remembered that the switch was not far from the door and should have a conspicuous sign.
Relax, she didn't feel suffocated and could hold on for some time. Thinking of this, Nan Xizi fumbled and finally touched the glass door with the switch. She could just open the door or break the glass directly.
But at this moment, Nan Xizi heard the sound of the wind!
It was a punch coming from the fog. The attacker was right next to her!
Nan Xizi barely turned sideways, allowing the punch that was originally aimed at her heart to land on her upper arm.
It was quite heavy, and Nan Xizi was a little surprised. The force of that punch was about the level of a boxing amateur, and it hurt her arm, but that was all. Compared with the aliens and super beasts that their TAC team had encountered in the past, it was much lighter.
Nan Xizi even felt that she could probably defeat the opponent with her bare hands.
She didn’t know if it was an illusion, but she felt like she was really good!
But this illusion only lasted for a second, and Nan Xizi's face changed.
Just now, she accidentally breathed!
The odorous gas entered her lungs, and Nan Xizi stretched out her hand to try to get the gas out, but it was no use. Eating poison can induce vomiting, but breathing cannot. The smoke had already entered her lungs immediately, and then flowed into the blood vessels through the alveoli.
A fishy and stinky smell! Nan Xizi was in a trance. It was so fishy and spicy that it was like accidentally inhaling pepper into her nose.
So sad.
She wanted to sneeze.
She actually sneezed—"Ah Qiu!"
Then Nan Xizi was stunned, and the attacker was also stunned.
Nan Xizi did not faint. In such a thick fog, apart from feeling a little uncomfortable, there was no other special feeling of dizziness.
"You are not human?" the attacker, Dao Liu, asked in surprise.
The sweet air of Orion is a nerve gas to humans. It can paralyze muscles, destroy the immune system, and even cause people to have strong hallucinations and fall into a coma.
"Of course I am a human!" Nan Xizi retorted.
Apart from her human form, Minami Shizuko believes she is a completely human being. She has undergone many medical examinations before and after joining the TAC team, all of which have proven that she is just an ordinary person.
How could the TAC team allow an alien to join the team?
Of course she is human!
"And the effects you mentioned, this gas is a poison, right?"
Paralyzing muscles, destroying the immune system, and causing hallucinations, it is exactly the same evil forbidden fruit that humans refined hundreds of years ago.
"What did you say? How dare you insult us Orions!"
Nan Xizi thought that the other party would change back to his original appearance because of anger, but it didn't happen.
Or, in other words, Dao Liu was not pretending, and this was her true form, a form that was human no matter how you looked at it.
Chapter 171 Fight to the End
Nan Xizi smashed the glass and pulled down the exhaust switch.
A roar sounded in the equipment room, it was the sound of multiple exhaust fans starting up at the same time, the oppressive air was rolled up. The mist in the room was visibly swept away, and it became much lighter in just a few seconds.
The red smoke in the corridor also became thinner. Yamanaka, Konno and the others knew that Minami Yuko had succeeded, so they rushed towards the equipment room with TAC guns. There was still a strange smell in the air, but it didn't have much of an effect.
In the equipment room, Nan Xizi and Dao Liu were still confronting each other.
"You are also an Earthling, right? Why do you do such a thing? What good will it bring to you by helping alien invaders?"
"You said I'm also an Earthling? Do you want to insult me? It's no use trying to provoke me. You're just a lowly Earthling. I've filled this room with time bombs, and they'll explode when the time comes!"
Saying that she is an Earthling is such an insult. She is an Orion from birth! The Orions told her that they changed her into a human in order to allow her to hide on Earth.
All for the revival of Orion!
Yes, it is not an invasion, but a revival. Their home planet is Orion, but they had already started the pace of interstellar migration more than 10,000 years ago. When they came to Earth, humans had not yet appeared. At that time, the civilization that occupied Earth was called "Nongmalt". They fought with the Orion people several times, with both sides winning and losing, and finally each occupied a piece of land.
Since then, the Earth has become their home. Long before humans came to rule here, they had established countries and city-states here. Even according to current human legal principles, the Earth should be theirs.
However, a natural disaster occurred, and the Earth entered an ice age, and the ground was no longer suitable for living. The Nongmalt people went to the bottom of the sea, and they, the Orions, slept in the pyramids underground.
The humans now are just parasites that took advantage of the fact that they and the Nongmalts were both asleep and took over the Earth. They stole the land of the noble Orions and shamelessly and naturally regarded everything on Earth as their own property.
The islanders have reason to be proud, they are the indigenous people, and they are more qualified to live on this planet than humans!
"You said it was loaded with bombs?" This was the first thing Shan Zhong heard when he entered the equipment room. He raised his TAC gun and aimed at the other party.
"Wait, Team Yamanaka, she might be human, just brainwashed."
Yamanaka's finger, which was about to pull the trigger, loosened. Unless it was absolutely necessary, the TAC team would not shoot at humans.
He, Konno, and Yoshimura checked around and found four or five time bombs, just by a rough inspection. There must be more hidden. The explosion time is still five minutes away. It may be too late to defuse the bombs.
"Why would you do such a thing? What good would it do you to blow up the equipment warehouse?"
"Benefits? Of course, it's to blow up your V9 missiles. They are just low-level civilizations. This is the only way humans can threaten us Orions, right?"
There was no time to defuse the bomb, and Dao Liu was very proud, because at least the mission assigned to her by the commander of Orion had been completed.
But Yamanaka, Konno and others were in a strange mood.
It turns out that the enemy is targeting V9, which is not surprising. V9 is indeed the most powerful trump card of mankind. However, this is the headquarters of the TAC team, not the arsenal, so how could there be a V9?
In fact, the development of V9 was top secret, and even the TAC members didn't know the exact location. It was probably the same as V7 at the time, in an underground military factory deep in the mountains and forests. The exact address would only be known when the development was completed and the mutual delivery mission was carried out. Before that, it was strictly confidential.
Yamanaka walked forward quickly without further ado.
It only took a breath of time for Dao Liu to be subdued. She could fight back and forth with Nan Xizi, after all, Nan Xizi was not good at it, but she met Yamanaka Ichiro who was proficient in fighting and could not put up a decent resistance.
With just a grab and a twist, Dao Liu lost his balance and was easily pressed to the ground, unable to move.
While shouting meaningless threats, Yamanaka, annoyed by the noise, casually struck the vagus nerve on the side of her neck, knocking her unconscious.
This is very dangerous, and the vagus nerve is often fatal. It doesn't matter how heavy the person is, different people have different sensitivity levels, and some people will be in danger even if they are pressed lightly. So occasionally, there will be cases where two people hugging and kissing will accidentally hug each other's necks and cause the lover's death.
But for those with ill intentions, who in the mountains cares? They deserve to be beaten to death.
He was not Beidou, so he didn't care about being gentle with his enemies. No matter whether they were men or women, in his opinion, the best option was to kill the island with a TAC gun.
A dead enemy is a reassuring enemy.
Even if he was of Earthling blood, working for aliens was like being an accomplice to a tiger. If he wasn't afraid of causing dissatisfaction among his teammates, he would have ignored it.
On the other side, Konno began to try to defuse the bomb, he is an expert in this field.
Listening to the ticking countdown, others were already sweating, but Konno himself was calm and composed.
Compared to his usual cheerful appearance and shouting "Amitabha" when encountering problems, he now looks like a real TAC member.
Then at some point, the ticking stopped.
"How about it?"
"No."
Shan's heart sank, and he thought the bomb was going to explode. There was only one outcome for a failed bomb disposal. But fortunately, Konno's next words made him feel relieved.
"This one was removed successfully, but it was too slow, it took 45 seconds."
There were still many bombs, and there was no time to defuse them all before they exploded.
"Retreat, we have done our best. I have notified everyone in the building to evacuate. Now we are the only ones left."
Yamanaka grabbed Shimouryu and didn't care that her head hit the ground. He was merciful enough not to leave her here to perish with the bomb she had planted.
"You go first." Konno said as he walked to another bomb and started defusing it again.
"What did you say?"
"I'll try to defuse as many bombs as possible, so maybe the building can be saved. When the Yabo invaded, the TAC team suffered no damage, but now that the Yabo have surrendered, our building has been bombed. This is too embarrassing, I can't stand it."
Not only he couldn't bear it, everyone couldn't bear it, but there were only three minutes left before the explosion.
"The building can be rebuilt if it collapses. Do you want to be buried with this place?"
"You guys go first. I'll run away at the last minute. I just want to demolish as many as possible. Don't worry, I haven't lived enough. I have no intention of committing suicide."
As he spoke, Konno's hands did not stop, and he operated steadily. Soon, another bomb was defused.
"I was thinking, the Earth is ours, but we have always relied on Ultraman to protect it. Ultraman is not a god. Look, whether it's Ace or Gaia, they have encountered enemies they could not defeat and experienced battles they were bound to lose."
No one knows better than them that Ultraman had been helpless before, whether it was the demon star Koala or the super beast Baraba. But they never gave up, always fighting to the end and persisting.
When fighting against Barabas, Gaia's light was as weak as a candle in the wind until the end, but she still stood in the center of the dark city. It was not a gorgeous stage, nor a gorgeous performance, but it was touching.
Everyone knows that we can’t lose.
