So Asahina nodded.
"Take Kotaro with you," Asahina added.
"But, can this guy fight like this?"
Judging from Kotaro's expression, Araki doesn't want to be a babysitter while fighting.
"Take it with you, it will be useful."
As the last guarantee in dangerous times.
Having said that, Araki could only nod his head. Although he still didn't understand what the "talisman" of Kotaro could do.
"Can you fight, Kotaro?"
"Sure, that's fine with me."
Araki, Kotaro, and Moriyama rushed to the scene in the Sky-Kei, with the Palmida II towed underneath the plane.
"Moriya, you will fly the Sky Whale and stand guard in the air, while Kotaro and I will take the Palumida. Is that okay?"
"Yes, no problem." Moriyama said confidently.
Kotaro responded several seconds later.
Is it really okay?
Regardless of whether there was a problem or not, Araki and Kotaro went into the water in an underground tank.
The opening of the crypt is just a bathing area, but it extends very wide downwards.
"It looks like it really extends all the way to the sea, Kotaro, keep an eye on the sonar."
"Okay, got it."
The submarine transformed into an underground tank was very quiet and kept diving. We originally thought that it had penetrated one or two hundred meters, but it was actually much deeper.
"The terrain here is too complicated. Judging from the sonar feedback, it's like a big maze."
Fortunately, the Palumida is a subterranean vehicle, so it can drill underground when there is no road.
"Deputy Captain, I heard a strange noise. Look ahead!"
Looking deep into the dark tunnel, there is a huge monster in front.
"It's a monster!"
The Lumida II generation video equipment was sent to transmit the images back to the base immediately.
It was a gigantic monster that looked somewhat like a seal.
Chapter 378 Seal
Because of the previous accident, the Palumida II was carefully modified by Kitajima.
In addition to overhauling the entire vehicle's electrical circuits, they also installed recording equipment, transmission equipment, positioning systems, and the like.
The weapons have also been modified. In addition to the laser cannon, more powerful underground missiles have been installed. Of course, this is not the credit of Beidao alone. The new underground missiles come from Meteor technology.
The captain had previously mentioned letting the front-line team use trial items, and this missile was one of the trial items.
The black technology from aliens is also the technology of human beings. The crystallization of the collision of the two is Meteor Technology.
Powerful and dangerous.
Human beings should not possess weapons that exceed the limits of their own technology. Otherwise, once a war breaks out between humans, it may be more terrifying than an invasion by monsters.
This is not alarmist.
Countries and nations that have been hostile to each other for thousands of years have fought against each other in their own righteousness. Some regions entangled in religion and race have been at war for centuries.
In some ways, they do have some justice. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth is a law from the earliest codes. They were driven from their own lands, and there were countless blood feuds. They had the right to take revenge.
For survival, for revenge. If both sides have weapons that can wipe out the other side in one go, it would be easy for both sides to press the firing button in the name of justice.
Because of this, the Meteor Project itself will never be used on humans. This is guaranteed by the fact that it is extremely confidential, and few people have even heard of this name.
Because ZAT is on the front line of the battle against monsters, it has the opportunity to come into contact with this type of weapon.
"Wait until you see the monster and aim carefully before firing. There are only two special missiles, and they are very powerful. Don't miss them. Don't blow a big hole under Ginza."
Araki kept giving instructions, but Kotaro just nodded mechanically.
The missile launch button gradually turned into sashimi in his eyes. No, no, I was too hungry to even notice it.
Then the sonar soon discovered a huge monster.
The searchlight of Pyrumida illuminated the area ahead brightly, and also clearly showed the appearance of the monster.
"Oh my goodness, a big seal? Isn't this thing from the Arctic? Why did it come all the way to Tokyo?"
No matter how it turns into a monster, you can tell at a glance that its prototype is a seal. After all, its features are too obvious.
The video recording equipment in the vehicle also transmitted the video in real time and projected it onto the screen in the command room of the ZAT base.
Including Kitajima, Nanyuan and others who returned to the base after the investigation, they all saw this scene.
"Can seal meat be eaten?" Nanyuan suddenly asked.
"I haven't eaten it, but polar bears like it. I'm not sure if this monster is dangerous, maybe it's a gentle animal."
"If you ask me, seals should all die."
"Why, Nanyuan, do you hate seals?" Asahina felt a little strange. Aren't seals cute? Penguins and seals are the most popular among children in the zoo.
At the same time, they are also one of the polar bears' favorite foods.
They usually like to hide under the ice, but because they are mammals that need air, polar bears often guard the edge of the ice and kill or prey on seals that come out to breathe.
This animal lives in the Arctic Circle all year round, almost half a world away from Tokyo at 35 degrees north latitude.
"Captain, don't listen to him. Nanyuan is unlucky in playing games and got exposed."
They love diving and will bask in the sun if there is any. This is the habit of seals.
Every member of the ZAT team has a mobile phone, which is a special-made one.
The network used at work can connect to the military's private network, and the network used in daily life can also be switched to the Internet with one click.
Dual SIM cards and dual systems, both sides operate without interfering with each other.
A game updated on the mobile Internet last month. It is a very novel game. It looks like a battleship battle game, but it is actually a card collection game.
"Nanyuan is a really unlucky guy. During last month's server launch event, the Shinano, was the first colorful ship that others got after ten or twenty draws, but he just spent money to buy a cube and had to draw 200 times before he got the guaranteed one."
Bei Dao said with a smile. He also played it, and the second ten draws came out. Because he had the construction coupons for the server, he basically didn't spend any cubes.
I really didn't expect that there are people who are so unlucky.
The terms "black face", "unlucky guy" and "seal" all came from the website of "Mr. White Rabbit".
"Ah? Isn't Shinano a free novice ship that players can get by registering and drawing according to the opening guide?" Asahina asked puzzledly.
He also played this game. What is Shinano? Isn't it the first ship that appears when you click to build it during the novice tutorial mission? He thought it was a trick to give away colorful ships at the beginning of the game.
Nanyuan looked at the captain, Kitajima also looked at the captain, and Ueno.
The dead seal is here!
In the Parumida, Araki is waiting for the captain's order as to whether to attack the monster.
Generally, if it is a monster with no intention of destruction, they will choose to protect it and then take it in. Only monsters that are wantonly destructive and violent and will cause catastrophic consequences will be attacked and eliminated.
Human beings are willing to coexist with all things, but are also brave enough to resist aggression.
From the initial timidity, like a frightened little beast that responded to all threats with the greatest malice, to the current self-confidence and calmness, this is the choice of mankind now, eight years after the earth was invaded by aliens in 1966.
It is also a response to generations of giants of light.
"Araki, what do you think over there? Does the monster have any intention of attacking?"
Araki really couldn't answer this question because the monster was sleeping and who knew what its attitude would be when it woke up.
"Kotaro, be careful... Hey, Kotaro! Why are you sleeping too?"
"Ah? Sorry, Vice Captain, I wasn't asleep."
He was just a little dizzy due to low blood sugar. He had a mild physiological fainting for a moment, but he quickly regained consciousness.
"Do you want to attack the monster?" Kotaro put the monster into the sight and pressed the fire button of the laser cannon.
"It's not an attack, just wait..." Araki didn't have time to say anything because the laser cannon had already hit the monster.
"You kid, eh." At this point, Araki couldn't say anything more. Because that shot woke up the monster. The laser cannon was still the original weapon before the second generation of Pyrumida. The power was not very strong, but it was enough to hurt the monster.
It roared, venting its dissatisfaction at being awakened from its sleep. The sound waves turned into water waves under the water, shaking the chariot all over.
"What happened, Araki?"
Asahi asked Hina at the base. The monster can be seen from the video, but there is no way to know what happened inside the tank.
"Oh, sorry, Captain. It was me who asked Kotaro to attack." Araki said.
At this point, it is useless to blame Kotaro. It is only natural for the ZAT team to attack the monster. After all, this walrus monster does not look docile at all. It is clearly underwater, but it is spewing flames from its mouth.
"What's going on? Can't this fire be extinguished under water?"
"Maybe the monster can secrete accelerants."
The temperature of the surrounding seawater is rising rapidly, just like a volcanic eruption on the seabed, but this is not the seabed, but 300 meters underground in Ginza.
"Araki, if that doesn't work, lure the monster to the ground and use the Sky Whale to deal with it! Nanyuan, Kitajima, Ueno, you drive the Condor 1 and the Super Swallow to provide on-site support."
"clear."
The three of them took their driving helmets and ran towards the hangar.
But Aragaki wanted to try again. If he could defeat the monster underground, it would certainly be much better than fighting on the most prosperous streets of Ginza.
"Kotaro, use the special missiles. Now that it's attacked, we must defeat it completely!"
Araki did not blame Kotaro for the private attack. After all, judging from the results, the monster was indeed not a good person.
Although this causal logic is reversed, just like the police opened fire only to find out that the suspect had indeed done something bad. But they are the army, facing monsters, and as long as there are monsters, it is a wartime state, and there is no need for a strict reason to fight.
"Don't make a mistake this time!"
"Okay, got it."
