Mother of Ultra probably thought so too, so she had no choice but to ask her to take care of Taro. She even gave her the artifact of the Kingdom of Light as a gift when they met.
Lingye said this which made Kotaro feel better. He had thought she would be more strict.
Ling finally peeled an orange. It was perfect, not broken at all, and it was a complete piece when she put it back together!
She took out the pulp and took a mouthful.
"Ah, you didn't peel it for me?"
How did it get into her own mouth?
"Do you want to eat? I thought you didn't want to eat. There are so many on the bedside table. You don't have any broken arms or legs."
This is true, but I always feel that it is a bit too much for patients who visit the hospital.
"Speaking of broken arms and legs, the person who lives in the ward next to you is called Umino, right?"
ZAT Central Hospital has separate wards for patients, and the conditions are pretty good. If the patients pay for the medical expenses themselves, I think the medical expenses will be very high - the kind that will shock people.
Fortunately, anyone who can arrange to stay here doesn’t have to pay for it themselves.
Ling also said, throwing an orange up and catching it. Kotaro's eyes also moved up and down, and when she threw it more than ten times, Kotaro couldn't help it.
"What game is this?"
"Hmm? I just want to practice how to catch it more gently."
I have never heard of other Ultramen breaking bones when rescuing people before, but she broke bones while rescuing people.
But after falling from dozens of meters, she could only try her best to cushion the impact. Her hands couldn't dissipate the impact all at once.
“Is there any trick?”
Special skill - Ultra saves people, but I have never seen any Ultraman have this ability in those Ultraman medals.
Taro couldn't explain it either. It was always like that every time he saved someone. He could only say it was unfortunate.
As he was speaking, he saw Kaiye walking outside the ward with a cane.
"I can't rest even if my leg is broken." Ling also muttered softly.
Originally he was just talking to himself, but maybe because the door was not closed, or maybe because Umino's hearing was really sharp, he heard these words.
Just with this hearing ability, it can be compared to Ultraman's human body.
Kaino turned around and was surprised to see that the person who spoke was a little girl in her teens. As a teacher, he was very tolerant towards children.
But the person lying on the hospital bed was a member of ZAT, Azuma Kotaro, and he knew.
"Why, are you injured too?"
Kaino's tone was not bad. After all, he was injured in the battle with the monster, so they could be considered to be in the same boat.
"Fortunately, I am just exhausted, there is nothing wrong with my body."
Hearing this, Kaino frowned subconsciously.
"Since you're not injured, why are you hiding in the hospital?"
The monster has not been destroyed yet. As a member of the ZAT team, shouldn't we work hard to study the battle plan?
The same goes for him. Even though his thigh bone was broken, it didn't mean he couldn't fight.
He got out of bed with the help of crutches, just to see if there was anything he could do.
Kotaro was confused by the criticism, as he was not the one gossiping just now. The person who was actually gossiping was just watching the fun.
He didn't want to go to the hospital, but when he fought as Taro, he consumed too much light energy. As a human body, Kotaro himself had almost no physical strength left. He woke up in the hospital.
However, he had no prejudice against Umino. He actually agreed with the idea of humans working hard and not wanting to lose to monsters.
"Your leg is broken, do you still want to fight?"
"Of course, as a teacher, I have to set an example for the children. Do you know the battle between Ultraman Ace and King Qiangbo last year? At that time, the children were all cheering for Ace, and everyone believed in light, so Ace defeated the most terrible enemy."
"I don't think this is a bad thing, but instead of believing in the light, can each of us work harder? Believing in the Giant of Light and not giving up hope is certainly a good thing, but besides waving flags and shouting, can't humans do a little more?"
Is it true that humans can only hide in shelters and shout "Come on!"?
"Why can't we become light ourselves? That's what I've been thinking about."
Because he is weak, he naturally relies on the protection of others, even if this 'other' is a giant of light.
Umino couldn't accept this.
"The children in my class all think that they can just rely on Ultraman, but I want them to know that we humans can do well on our own."
Umino doesn't hate Ultraman, he just hates his own weakness and wants to do better.
"Excuse me." Feeling that he had said too much, Kaino said goodbye and left the ward.
Kotaro was speechless for a while because he didn't know what to say.
"Which one of Taro, an Ultraman, or Umino, a human, will be more incredible in destroying Behmonstan?"
Ling was peeling an orange as she spoke. The orange had been tossed up and down by her several times and was almost broken, so she had to peel it.
Give it to Kotaro.
Kotaro didn't mind eating a smashed orange, he was just a little curious.
"Do you think he can really destroy Bemonstan?"
"I don't know. But humans are capable of miracles sometimes. No one knows the limits of human potential."
Before the Giant of Light first set foot on Earth, the Earth had encountered terrible enemies in the long years ahead.
Whenever we encounter unimaginable disasters, we do not know how much it costs mankind, but the result is that we still survive and reproduce on this planet.
Instead, those enemies, even terrible monsters like the Hades Monster, were buried in history, and nothing was left under the dust.
Taylor also realized this.
If Lian Umino can defeat the monsters, just like the ancestors of mankind, and protect the earth with human bodies, then why does he, as the Giant of Light, think that he has no chance of winning?
He is Ultraman! That is the name given to them by humans, the ultimate person who transcends everything.
His strength was always within him, he just needed the courage to be stimulated.
"Okay, I've peeled it. I'll give it to you, no thanks!"
Lingye stuffed the peeled orange into Kotaro's mouth. He wanted to thank her, but Lingye said "no thanks" in advance and held back.
The oranges are sweet. If Behmungstan appears again next time, he will definitely not lose.
After lying in bed for only half a day, Kotaro got up and chose to return to the team. Then in the afternoon of the same day, Bemonstan appeared again.
A huge monster, this time it attacks the gas company.
Chapter 436: Gaia Domain
"Why, Kotaro, are you okay now?"
He was sent to the hospital in the early morning hours, and now it's noon, Kotaro has returned to report.
"Have you checked everything? What did the doctor say?"
Fainting after skydiving is quite dangerous. It might be due to the air pressure that caused damage to the internal organs.
"The doctor said it was nothing serious, so I was discharged from the hospital."
That's fine, but Araki still feels that Kotaro lacks enough exercise.
The members of the ZAT team are seriously discussing the plan to fight against Behmonstan. Having failed once, they cannot fail a second time.
Specifically, Nanyuan was playing with a ballpoint pen with a pout, Kitajima tied a piece of string from nowhere to his fingertips to pretend it was a fishing rod, and Ueno was carefully studying the pattern on the snow-white ceiling.
"Be serious!"
"But, Vice Captain, even Taro lost."
"What nonsense! The Earth is the home of mankind. Taro can lose, but we cannot!"
Kotaro was about to say something but stopped himself, because the Earth is also his home.
"If you ask me, the idea of the teacher named Umino is not bad. Let the monster eat the bomb and explode inside the stomach. Maybe it will really work. But Umino is wrong. Monsters don't eat with their mouths, but with the organs in their stomachs."
"So, we need to stuff explosives into its stomach?"
Araki thought about it and thought that this was also a solution, but he was not sure how effective it would be.
"Let's give it a try. I'll go talk to the technical department. Since it's a bomb, give him a big one."
Don't worry about anything else, as long as it's powerful enough.
ZAT does not have its own technical department, so Araki contacted Dr. Kikaji.
As the person in charge of external affairs for the Meteor Project, all the previous special weapons were obtained by the ZAT team from Dr. Kizuki.
Unfortunately, Kiji was not in the laboratory, and the person who answered the phone was Dr. Silva, a well-known senior scientist in the defense force.
"You said that ZAT needs a powerful bomb? How powerful?"
"The bigger the better!"
Dr. Silva was silent for a while.
"Captain Araki, do you know how dangerous it is to say that the more powerful the better? I once created a weapon, codenamed Super Weapon R1, which is 8000 times more powerful than a hydrogen bomb at the same equivalent."
At that time, they chose a planet that was originally thought to have no life for the experiment, but ended up blowing up someone else's home.
"At that time, because the star beast came for revenge, I wanted to create R2, R3, and R4... But Seven made me understand that high-powered weapons cannot truly bring peace."
"Seven not only saved our lives, he also saved my heart. Since then, I decided not to create weapons of unlimited power, and Meteor Technology is not that kind of thing."
"I thought you would reflect on the fact that you blew a hole in the basement of Ginza. Instead of thinking about destroying it, I would like to invent some power to protect it."
Dr. Silva's idea is obviously different from that of Mukaji. The bomb that blew up the basement of Ginza and attracted Renlong was provided by Dr. Mukaji.
It seems that the so-called Meteor Project is not a simple department, and each department has its own research.
These are completely different concepts, and Araki doesn't know which one is correct.
"But we do need weapons that are powerful enough to destroy Bemonstan, otherwise the monsters will wreak havoc on the earth!"
"Bemonstan? The one from the previous MAT team file?"
Because the secret laboratory was underground and completely isolated, Silva didn't even know about Bemonstan's attack.
