Chapter 33: The Legend of the Sky

"Recently, public opinion has improved a lot, you see this report: the world is now frequently plagued by monster disasters that have caused a lot of damage to our human race, but thankfully, GUTS, with its excellent strategists, has always protected us, and as an ordinary citizen, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to them. Thank you for protecting us desperately!" Lina read with some joy in holding a newspaper, "The writer is Onoda. ”

"Yes, although there are still some people who criticize us for destroying the environment, it's much better than the previous GUTS uselessness theory, and this is the first time that our victory team has defeated a monster without relying on Ultraman's power!" said Munakata with emotion, and everyone nodded vigorously.

"Ahh

"You've done a lot to destroy the monster Starry Night this time!" Horii walked over and slapped Starry Night on the shoulder.

Starry Night glanced at Horii and stopped talking, Megumi saw it and walked over and asked worriedly, "What's wrong, is something wrong?"

"Hmm!" Starry Night nodded silently, everyone felt that the atmosphere was wrong, they all stopped talking and laughing, and turned their puzzled gazes.

"Horii, Dr. Mizuno's probe lost contact this morning. Starry Night looked at Horii and said this very cruel truth, this is not the universe but the earth does not have a bad signal at all, and everyone knows what it means to lose contact.

"How is it possible? Don't joke with me! Impossible, impossible!" the expression on Horii's face froze directly, and he smiled and said two impossible.

"A rescue team and a survey team have been dispatched to find it. Starry Night looked at Horii and continued, "I'm sure there will be news back soon." ”

"Lie, Dr. Mizuno is so happy to investigate" Horii's sturdy body shook and quickly held on to the edge of the table: "How could something happen? ”

New Town, who has always liked to talk back to Horii, came over and patted Horii on the shoulder comfortingly: "Don't think too bad, maybe they just lose contact temporarily." ”

"Vice Captain," Ye Rui looked up from the computer, "It's news from the Meteorological Bureau, and the movement of the clouds is very strange." ”

Hearing this, Zong Fang immediately ran over: "What's wrong?"

"The clouds are moving faster and descending faster, so it will soon reach Japan. Ye Rui informed everyone of the results of the calculation.

"Here's the investigation team, we've approached that cloud, and now we're starting to transmit images. "It was at this time that the investigation team that had departed earlier also arrived at the location where the probe plane was missing.

This is an image taken from a distance, and the dark cloud is clearly out of step with the surrounding blue sky, and the height is so low that it is far below the height at which the cloud can form. And the most striking thing is that from time to time there are a few flashes of electric light in the clouds, which are lowered towards the sea surface at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Now try to get close to the clouds!" The screen begins to pull towards the clouds, and gradually snowflakes begin to appear on the clear picture, and the snowflakes gradually become larger. At a distance of five hundred meters from the clouds, the picture was blurred, and even communication had become intermittent.

"It's already flying!" The last voice of the investigation team was a scream, and then contact was completely lost.

"This is the headquarters, please answer when you hear it, hey!" Munakata shouted into the radio several times, but all he answered was the chaotic hum.

"Stay away from that cloud immediately, repeat, stay away from that cloud immediately!" Megumi Kurama hurriedly contacted the medical team behind her.

"Understand!

"Report what happened!" Zong Fang ordered as soon as the medical team moved away from the clouds.

"The planes of the survey team shook a few times when they got close to the clouds and then plunged headlong into the sea, now please send a rescue team at once! The cloud turned into a cocoon. The medical team gave a brief briefing.

"Headquarters understands! Have you found any traces of the probe?"

"There was no communication coming from the clouds, and no fragments of the probe were seen around. ”

"The planes of the survey team just now were obviously affected by the radio when they approached the cloud, so the cloud must have been emitting strong electromagnetic waves all the time. Perhaps the planes of the investigation team lost control because some electronic components were burned out by strong electromagnetic waves. So now contact the hangar and immediately start installing protective devices on the aircraft. Starry Night turned to Ye Rui and said.

Ye Rui nodded and hurriedly contacted the hangar to ask them to install anti-electromagnetic devices on the Victory Team's planes to facilitate the investigation work later.

"Doctor, he can't be!" Horii shouted at the news with a look of disbelief on his face.

The headquarters fell silent, and Horii immediately realized his gaffe and bowed and apologized: "I'm sorry!"

"Doctor, he's always believed that this cloud was the lair of the Lightning Man, a strange creature that could not descend to the ground and could only live in angels. Horii talks about Dr. Mizuno's research, with a pride on his face.

"In the sky, how do you live?" "Xincheng couldn't understand this mode of survival: "And what is that cloud for?"

"How do I know that? It's just that they never left the ionosphere. "Horii is also a little helpless, there is too little information.

"I heard about this creature when I was in aviation college, and the senior said that there lived in the sky a creature unknown to man, the Lightning Man, and that it would fall as soon as the plane approached them. I always thought it was just a compilation of seniors scaring the freshmen in the lower grades. I didn't expect it to be true. Lina recalls the name she had heard on campus.

"In fact, the lightning man is not groundless, many people in ancient times witnessed the appearance of the lightning man at dusk. Many murals and cultural relics unearthed around the world have recorded the existence of this creature, and in the text left by the defense army era of the last century, it is recorded that someone once used a camera to record the appearance of the lightning man, but because of the war, the photos have been lost, and only some text files remain, so there has been a debate about whether the lightning man really exists, and the reason why Dr. Mizuno personally explored the cloud is to prove the existence of the lightning man, so as to end this controversy. Astral revealed what he knew: "In particular, the strange sound recorded by the black box of the plane crash last time made Dr. Mizuno believe that the cloud was the lair of the Lightning Man, and we have always known very little about the Lightning Man, and it can be said that it is an unsolved mystery that the Lightning Man existed without the Lightning Man's form, language, and existence. Although he knew that he lived in the ionosphere, Dr. Mizuno searched for several years, but could not find any trace of them. ”

"The doctor also said before that if he missed this opportunity, he would probably find it difficult to find the trace of the lightning man again, so he set off in a hurry. Horii said with some embarrassment.

"Starry Night, aren't you very proficient in biology? Why haven't I read what you said in the TPC database?" Ye Rui looked at Starry Night with some surprise, but the focus is wrong!

"However, recently I have read some materials from the Institute of Biology about the Lightning Man, and the materials from the Institute and TPC are separated. There are also many materials that you haven't read, and there are only a few important departments in the research department in the base, and most of the research institutes are distributed all over the world, and the materials they produce every day can make you read for a lifetime. But what you want to see is the new material!"

"Hee-hee!" Ye Rui scratched his head a little embarrassedly: "I'm very interested in these strange things." ”

"THEN YOU PLAY LESS GAMES AND TAKE A LOOK AT HUNTER'S DATABASE, WHICH ALSO HAS SOME INFORMATION ABOUT THE LIGHTNING MAN, AND THERE ARE THINGS THAT ARE EVEN MORE STRANGE THAN THIS, I THINK YOU HAVEN'T READ IT SERIOUSLY AT ALL!" STARRY NIGHT SQUINTED AT NO.

"I've seen it!" Ye Rui muttered dissatisfiedly.

"The cloud is already close to the offshore area, and it will fall to the ground in half an hour. Munakata walked over and said.

"The clouds have shrunk a lot, and now it's more of a cocoon than a cloud. Ye Rui Zhengse said: "However, the surrounding interference radio waves are more intense, and electronic equipment within a radius of 3,000 meters will fail." ”

"In other words, you can't get close," Zong Fang had a little headache about this monster: "Is the installation of electromagnetic shields on Feiyan EX and Phoenix completed?"

"It's done, but if you get too close, it will still have an impact. The safety range is 500 meters away, and it will be dangerous if you get closer. Ye Rui checked the record and said.

"Do you understand?" said Zongfang, glancing at the team members.

"Understood!" Xincheng said with some worry, "But if you get closer, the radio communication will be disrupted, what about the battlefield communication?"

"Communicate with lasers!" Ye Rui said, looking up.

"Dagu, Xincheng and the deputy captain drove Feiyan EX and Lina drove the Phoenix to attack. Megumi stood up and ordered.

"Understood!" the group replied, turning and running out of the base.

It didn't take long for the two planes to see the strange cloud from a distance, completely out of place with their surroundings, which was still thousands of meters above the ground when they were observed before, but now it is less than 500 meters above the ground. Moreover, the scattered clouds that were like clouds and mist before have now condensed into an entity, and in shape they are completely cocoons.

"At the current rate, you will be in the metropolitan area in half an hour. Lina said after checking her speed.

"Shoot it down with a missile, and don't let it enter the city!" Munakata ordered.

"Understood!" X3.

"Spike missile launch!" The two fighters circled the diagonal underside of the cocoon, aiming at the cocoon from a kilometer away, and then the four missiles roared towards the cocoon.

"Boom, boom, boom!boom!" Before they could get close to the cocoon, the four missiles suddenly shook and exploded.

"What!" Zong Fang's eyes widened in disbelief as he looked at the scene in front of him.
