Simply incredible!
If I was in the TAC team, this would never happen...
But there was no TAC team anymore, and those under him were indeed new recruits with no experience in fighting aliens or monsters.
Former Captain Long, Yoshimura, Konno, Noriko, as well as Beidou and Nan, all have their own places to go.
He is the only one here.
"Have you contacted Earth?"
"The communication equipment has been completely destroyed. We have no way to contact Earth."
The adjutant's words silenced Yamanaka. The enemy was fully prepared and immediately paralyzed the base's communications.
It wanted to destroy the entire lunar base and paralyze the communication equipment, which meant that they intended to leave no one alive from the beginning.
why?
If we put ourselves in their shoes, it should be that the lunar base has obtained some important information concerning the other party's secrets.
But Yamanaka had no idea what it was, except... oh, Friendship Three!
"Everything happened after the Friendship 3 landed. The planet they explored before was V Arklay, and the enemy followed from there!"
"But Commander, according to the astronauts' report, no intelligent life has been found on V Arklay. There are only rudimentary life forms there, similar to the dinosaur era on Earth."
“Not finding it doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.”
This kind of thing has happened more than once in the mountains.
Beidou made him understand one thing: no matter how incredible something is, the most important thing is not to question it with your superficial "common sense", but to find out the reasons behind it.
Yamanaka pulled out his pistol.
"I'm sorry, Staff Officer Gu Qiao, for putting you in such danger during your rest time!"
"What are you talking about? The enemy is targeting the Earth. The enemy of the Moon Base is of course also the enemy of our Space Force!"
Gu Qiao also pulled out his gun.
"Colonel Guqiao, may I ask what exactly is the friendship plan you mentioned earlier? Although I know you don't seem to want to mention it, the enemy this time is likely related to that incident."
"So, in order to better formulate a battle plan, please be sure to tell me everything you know."
Chapter 491: Spiral of Hatred
The so-called dark history is something that is generally never mentioned and is hoped to be buried deep in the memories of all those who know about it.
The Friendship Plan is the biggest dark history of the Ultra Guard, and even the dark history of all mankind.
If possible, Gu Qiao would never want to talk about this topic.
"Is it a top secret incident?"
Seeing Gu Qiao's hesitation, Shan Zhong could understand.
If his level of confidentiality does not allow him to know the relevant information, it is understandable that Staff Officer Guqiao is unwilling to disclose it.
"No, Commander Yamanaka, you are the person in charge of the Moon Base, the level of secrecy is completely sufficient. And since this matter is related to the current situation of the Moon Base, I should not hide it."
"I just don't know how to start. After all, you were a member of the TAC team in the past."
Yamanaka doesn’t understand, what does this have to do with the TAC team?
It really doesn’t matter, but they are the TAC team who believe that “passion cannot be extinguished”!
The enthusiasm in the heart cannot be extinguished, and we should be compassionate to the weak. Even monsters are not all malicious.
Even if you have been betrayed a thousand times, you must not lose the courage to believe next time. Be brave enough to be the first to reach out a hand. Light is the bond, and hope will be passed on.
They are the messengers of light, but they want to tear open the ugliest side of humanity and put it in front of them.
"The so-called Friendship Plan was originally proposed by some leaders of the Ultra Guard, including the high-ranking staff officer He Zhi."
Unfortunately, most people at that time were too fearful. So once the idea was proposed, it was supported by most of the top leaders.
"'The universe is full of threats. Rather than letting the battlefield happen on Earth, we should proactively look for planets with civilizations. Once we find one, we will treat it as an enemy of humanity and destroy it first.' This is the Friendship Plan."
Yamanaka couldn't believe it, he even felt that his ideals were collapsing because of it.
He had always believed that humans were victims, forced to endure all disasters yet remain standing, and thus were protected by the Kingdom of Light.
Human beings should be kind, and one day they will be able to respond to Ultraman's expectations.
However, if humans themselves are the invaders, what reasons and grounds do they have to fight?
"The Friendship Plan is just a hypothesis, right? Have we... humans ever actively destroyed other civilizations?"
Gu Qiao knew that Yamanaka wanted to hear a negative answer to convince himself, but unfortunately.
"Indeed, there have been. You may have heard of the Kielonmon, whose planet was destroyed by the Ultra Guard's weapons. There have also been other cases of planets being attacked by humans."
As long as there is evidence of a civilization that is powerful enough to threaten the Earth.
The attack button is not ready to be pressed, but has been pressed many times.
"So, this time V Acre is also the same?"
"Yes, that planet was also on the Friendship Plan's list, and three spacecraft were dispatched to explore it. Once it is confirmed that there is civilization on that planet, the next step will be to attack with a planet destroyer missile."
"However, with the disbandment of the Ultra Guard, the Friendship Project has been suspended indefinitely. Therefore, we will not attack Planet V Arklay again."
Shanzhong took a deep breath, his heart was very uneasy. The dark history of mankind overturned his long-held beliefs.
But, this has already happened, what can he do?
"What about Ultraman? During the era of the Ultra Guard, Seven was also on Earth, right? What did he think of the actions of humans?"
"Of course Seven disagreed. But when we blew up the Kielon Planet and the Kielon Beast came for revenge, he still stood on the side of humans and helped us destroy the other side."
For the sake of humanity, Seven actually stood on the side of the invaders.
【Don't be an aggressor! 】
The voice was still in his ears, and Shanzhong was not sure whether she knew that humans had become invaders!
Explosions continued to ripple through the base, and no one knew where the enemy was. First the communications station was destroyed, then the ammunition depot, and with another explosion the base fell into darkness.
"The energy station was blown up!"
If the lunar base loses energy, it means that all life support systems will cease.
The remaining power in the capacitor makes the emergency light glow a pale green light. It is also the only light in the base at this time. Soon even the oxygen will be consumed.
"Is my ship still there?"
Gu Qiao brought the fleet here for rest, and the entire fleet was in the dock.
"The dock has been destroyed. Even if the battleship is not completely destroyed, I'm afraid it can't set sail now." Yamanaka thought for a while, "But there are still a few lifeboats in the hangar of the base, which can return to Earth."
"Then go to the hangar! Commander Yamanaka, take everyone and evacuate immediately."
"how about you?"
"I'm the chief officer of the fleet. I'm going to meet that guy. I was a strongman in the Ultra Guard back then!"
Even though he is now in a high position, Furuhashi Shigeru still remembers himself when he was a member of the Ultra Guard. He is not afraid of any enemy, and will not bow to alien invaders even if he loses his flesh and blood.
"What are you talking about? Let me go. I am the person in charge of this base."
But now there is no time for the two to argue. If they don’t leave now, no one can leave.
"Takakura, take everyone in the base and the brothers of the Space Army to the hangar and return to Earth immediately!"
Takakura is Yamanaka's adjutant. Although he has the same surname as Takakura, the former commander of the Defense Forces, they are certainly not the same person. Adjutant Takakura is much younger.
"But sir—"
"This is an order!"
Frightened by the angry roar from the mountain, Gao Cang was so frightened that he could only salute and take the order and leave.
"Commander Yamanaka, you have a really good aura."
Even at this critical moment, Gu Qiao still did not forget to joke.
"That's right. When I was in the TAC team, I used to call Ace a grandson every day."
"Who?"
"Of course it's Ultraman Ace." Yamanaka said, and couldn't help laughing himself.
He can brag about this for the rest of his life.
Speaking of Ultraman, Gu Qiao also remembered something. He took out a pendant from his chest and tied it with a red rope around his neck.
"This is the amulet Seven gave me. He said I can pray to it when I have problems."
Pray to God. Gu Qiao has been doing scientific work in the army for half his life. He didn't expect that he would still believe in superstition. However, it was indeed given to him by Zhu Xingtuan as a gift to congratulate him on his promotion.
So, it's okay to look forward to it a little bit. After all, although the group usually jokes around, they are always trustworthy when they are serious.
But it looked familiar to Yamanaka. Isn’t that the amulet of Tsukimine Shrine?
Suddenly, the two stopped talking. The corridor of the base was empty, but they both felt that something had appeared. It was an inexplicable feeling, an intuition cultivated from years of fighting aliens and monsters.
Gu Qiao lowered the muzzle of his gun, ready to shoot at any time. But suddenly, he found that his arm was out of control of his brain and gradually rose up.
"Watch out, Yamanaka!"
Gu Qiao's voice came almost at the same time as the gunshot. If it were an ordinary person, he would have been shot long ago. Fortunately, there were experienced warriors in the mountains. He fell to the ground in an extremely ungraceful posture to avoid the bullet, and turned around to find that the person who shot was Gu Qiao himself.
"Staff Officer Guqiao?"
"Something is controlling me!"
In fact, it was not just Gu Qiao's hands that were controlled; his body and even the thoughts in his brain gradually no longer belonged to him.
He already understood why the enemy that destroyed the moon base had not shown up yet. Because it was invisible, it was acting like a ghost, controlling the human body!
In this situation, he himself became a weapon of destruction by the enemy and could not even commit suicide.
The muzzle of the gun was once again aimed at the mountain.
He didn't know what he could do. If prayer was really useful, he would have prayed with all his heart. Maybe it was really useful, so that his brain could still be clear and he didn't become a puppet of the enemy.
"Shoot me, Yamanaka!"
