The Gaelic people of the Ultraman Tiga world

It was rare that she didn't use pure data to analyze Sira's existence; Zhizi's voice was as cold as ever.

Just like you once said, life always finds a way.

Perhaps, Silas's existence is simply one example of life searching for a way out.

Without refuting Zhizi's words, Lu Xuan simply gazed in the direction across the sea, lost in long-forgotten contemplation.

At this moment, Lu Xuan thought of "Gijira Flower," which only appeared at the very end of the Ultraman Tiga TV series.

The purpose of the Zijera Flower, which was originally intended to make the creatures on Earth fall into a dream and eternal sleep, seems to be that it is a monster evolved from ordinary life.

Is this an inherent property of the Zijera Flower?

Or was it Earth's final act of pity for those lives about to be swallowed by darkness?

Regardless of the truth, this is a question worth spending time and effort to explore for Lu Xuan.

However, before that, Lu Xuan had to deal with the global defense force bases located throughout Asia.

After all, the problems there weren't just limited to Zerda gas...

Compared to the monstrous bird Sira, which has not yet completed its metamorphosis and evolution, the monsters that appeared due to the "Mars Atmosphere Environmental Transformation Project" are the supernatural disasters that TPC should really pay attention to.

If handled improperly, the entire Earth's ecosystem will be altered.

At that time, no matter how much Mother Earth cherishes her children, she can only watch helplessly as they perish and become extinct.

Chapter 599 Victory Snowy

Now, let's turn to the other side, the Asian branch.

Although not a professional pilot, he was a talented member of the team who was invited to join the Victory Team.

Horii also possesses the ability to independently pilot aircraft.

With the guidance of Megumi Kijima, a former ace pilot, they quickly arrived at the hidden base deep in the mountains.

buzzing...

After circling twice in the air, the Victory Snowsnow, which was built as an experimental machine, began a slow emergency landing.

The Victory Snow White is a test vehicle specially developed by TPC based on the Victory Flying Swallow, designed to carry the Max propulsion system.

The Victory Snowflake is 18 meters long and can carry two pilots.

Its speed within the atmosphere is Mach 8.5, and in space, if the Max propulsion system is activated, it can reach Mach 88.

As it was a prototype experimental model, the Victory Snow White did not carry any powerful weapons compared to the Victory Flying Swallow I and Victory Flying Swallow II.

The only advantage of the Victory Snows was that it was the first small aircraft to be equipped with the Max propulsion system.

With the Victory Flying Swallow 1 and Victory Flying Swallow 2 both deployed, only the Victory Snow White was able to deliver Megumi Iruma and Horii to the vicinity of this base in the shortest possible time.

"Is this right here?"

As the two stepped off the Victory Snow, Horii looked at the endless hills and asked in confusion.

Although the map marks this as the location of the base, there is nothing in sight that can be described as a "man-made structure".

"Yes, this is it!"

Megumi Kiyama, who had visited the base before, gave an affirmative answer without hesitation.

Now, Megumi trusts her memory more than her own eyes.

"What about the base?"

Horii uttered another soul-searching question as he fiddled with the instruments in his hands, but he still couldn't find the location of the base.

"The entrance to the base is here."

As she strolled to a huge earthen mound, Megumi's eyes were filled with astonishment.

According to her memory, the entrance to the base was indeed this huge earthen mound.

The problem now is that, although the base in my memory is hidden, its entrance is still traceable.

Looking at this earthen slope, no matter how hard Irihisa searched and observed, she could never find a real entrance.

"Was this base really only out of contact for half a month, and not for a hundred years?"

As Horii walked to the entrance with the instrument in his hand, the look of surprise on his face became even more pronounced.

"If this really is the entrance to the base..."

"The geological structure and soil composition here must have undergone at least a hundred years of oxidation to reach this level."

To prove his point, Horii squatted down and dug away the surface soil, revealing the original structure that had been weathered and eroded.

"More than a hundred years?"

Although she lacked Horii's scientific literacy, Megumi Kijima knew what those hundred years or so meant.

Horii's next words sent chills down Megumi's spine.

"This is indeed the entrance to the base."

The instrument reconstructs the original structures that have been weathered and eroded, and a gate made entirely of concrete is prominently displayed on the screen.

"However, due to the weathering and erosion of the mountain, the entrance to the base has long been buried by soil."

As Horii spoke, he kept groping his way toward the restored gate.

Soon, Horii encountered something that resembled a mechanical digital disk.

"This must be the switch!"

Due to excessive weathering and erosion, the mechanical digital disc is no longer recognizable as it once was.

However, by using the instruments in his hand to reconstruct the model, Horii was able to determine the original purpose of the object.

Even more strangely, Horii noticed that the mechanical structure and some circuits behind this digital disc were still functioning.

"Can this... still be used?"

Having also noticed this strange scene, Megumi asked a somewhat uncertain question.

When the former Earth Defense Force built this base, they did consider the issue of power supply, which is why they used the most primitive mechanical structure to build the base's gate.

However, when Megumi noticed that the severely weathered and eroded base gate still seemed to retain some normal functions, the chilling feeling became even more unsettling.

"Based on the scan results, this thing is still functional."

Feeling the same chilling atmosphere, Horii lowered his head somewhat unsure of himself.

"Even if it's just a purely mechanical structure, isn't this a bit too exaggerated?"

"Moreover, this thing isn't even a purely mechanical structure. How come all those internal wirings are still receiving continuous power?"

Horii feels that everything happening right now is challenging his cognitive limits and his scientific literacy.

"No matter what, we have to open this place first!"

After a moment's hesitation, Megumi Kijima finally made her decision.

Whatever happened here, their purpose in coming here is to investigate everything that happened.

If possible, rescuing the victims trapped inside is also one of their goals.

Of course, this is on the premise that there are actually any victims still alive inside.

"No problem, leave the opening of the door to me!"

Horii was quite confident in his ability to quickly adjust and rotate the still-running digital display.

sizzle...

I can't tell if it's the sound of mechanical bearings turning or the electrical noise from the wiring inside the base...

As Horii kept adjusting the password on the digital disk, he actually managed to open the tightly closed base door.

Rumble…

Under Horii's awe-inspiring gaze, the entire earthen slope suddenly began to shake violently.

Immediately afterwards, on a mound not far from the two of them.

Countless slabs of soil began to collapse inward, as if a huge hole had appeared in the ground.

boom!

After the enormous cavity swallowed up all the surrounding soil, a huge square hole suddenly appeared in front of the two of them.

Behind that huge hole lies the base hidden beneath the mountain.

"The door...is open..."

Hesitantly, he gazed at the winding, black tunnel.

Horii's intuition told him that something unknown was watching them from the shadows.

"Let's go! We'll find out what happened inside when we go in."

Without the slightest hesitation, Megumi Kijima took the lead and headed towards the entrance of the base.

Seeing this, Horii had no choice but to follow closely behind, fearing that he might be swallowed up by the unknown entity hidden in the darkness if he wasn't careful.

Chapter 600 Horror Movie Scene (Third Update, Please Subscribe!)

Wandering through the dark underground passage.

Megumi and Horii felt as if they were walking through the throat of some unknown behemoth.

The deeper they went, the more they felt the eeriness and coldness inside, as if the two of them were walking step by step into a dark abyss.

"If this were a horror movie, we would definitely be the kind of cannon fodder who get killed within minutes of the start."

Perhaps to relieve his inner fear, Horii couldn't help but make a sarcastic remark.

"I think we should be the ones who come to rescue the trapped people."

A smile involuntarily appeared on her face, and Megumi replied in the same joking tone.

It's worth mentioning here that although Megumi Kijima is the captain of the GUTS team, the relationships within the team are exceptionally harmonious.

The relationship between superiors and subordinates is less like that of a leader and a subordinate, and more like that of friends.

In particular, the core members of the Victory Team only had different roles due to their different positions.

Megumi Kijima was responsible for coordinating external relations.

Munakata was responsible for formulating all the plans.

Horii is the inventor within the GUTS team.

Nozue was specifically responsible for contacting members within the Victory Team.

Shinjo, Rena, and Daigo are the kind of combat personnel who need to go to the front lines to fight.

"Help……"

Just as Megumi and Horii were joking with each other, a faint but real voice came from the end of the passage not far away.

Upon hearing this voice, the two people froze in place.

Immediately afterwards, Megumi Kijima, who was the first to react, rushed towards the direction from which the sound came without hesitation.

"Wait for me……"

Horii, who was a beat slow to react, called out helplessly and then ran over as well.

However, Horii was ultimately more rational than Megumi. While running, he didn't forget to turn on his device to probe the surrounding area.

......................................................................................................

A moment later, at the end of this dark passage.

Megumi and Horii finally saw the owner of the voice that had just cried for help.

It was a woman with an old face and skin as thin as a rake. She was sitting against the corner of the wall, trembling as she stared at the security door on the inside of the base.
