"We're both drivers, so I've probably spent more time with you than he has, right?"
"And I often wipe the body of the machine for you, you should know that, right?"
"Why does he get such good treatment while I have to be tied down like this?"
Although it sounded like she was trying to appease a child, Lina was genuinely unhappy with the preferential treatment given to Victory Swallow No. 1.
Even if Daigo had communicated with Victory Flying Swallow No. 1 beforehand, he should still be the pilot with the longest flight time.
"Because I like Daigo!"
The Victory Flying Swallow No. 1 successfully sank Lina with just one sentence.
"..."
Lina was still in a daze when Daigo was so embarrassed that he was at a loss for what to do and hesitated to break the silence.
......................................................................................................
Silence! Silence! Silence!
The conversation inside the cabin did not affect the battle between Victory Swallow No. 1 and the strange bird Sira.
After gaining full control of the machine, Victory Flying Swallow 1 displayed an agility completely contrary to its own nature.
Time and again, they narrowly missed the orange-yellow beams of the strange bird, Sira.
The Victory Flying Swallow No. 1's wildly twisting body was completely beyond the prediction of the strange bird Sira, and it was able to dodge the attacks that were about to hit it in an incredible way every time.
After this happened several times, the strange bird Sira finally began to take the power of this "monster" seriously.
While the opponent may not have the powerful Texas cannon of the Victory Flying Swallow II, its danger level far surpasses that of the Victory Flying Swallow II.
Silence—Boom!
The sonic booms generated by each near miss carry an audio attack that directly targets the molecular structure.
Even the strange bird Sila, which had already transformed into a half-energy being, felt an unprecedented threat.
The only saving grace is that the Victory Flying Swallow No. 1 did not possess a truly lethal weapon capable of delivering a fatal blow.
It can only weaken Silas's power through continuous consumption and wear and tear.
With a hint of anger, with a hint of resentment...
The golden light surrounding the strange bird Sira began to dim, and its crimson blood began to drip onto the ground again.
Realizing she was nearing her limit, Sila could only glance regretfully at the direction across the sea.
Immediately afterwards, it abandoned the entanglement of Victory Swallow No. 1 without hesitation and flapped its wings to fly to a more distant high altitude.
call!
The wind howled, and the light flashed...
In the blink of an eye, the strange bird Sira disappeared from everyone's sight, leaving only Victory Swallow 1 still dancing alone in the air.

Chapter 596 The Hidden Truth
An hour later, near Hokkaido, Japan.
When Lu Xuan half-forced Dr. Nezu to the vicinity of the battlefield, the GUTS logistics rescue team had already rescued Munakata and Shinjo, who had jumped from the plane.
However, their current situation seems rather dire.
Zong Fang was alright; he had been unconscious for some time and was now lying on a stretcher, with no physical injuries found.
The new town looked much more desolate.
In order to save Zongfang, he forcibly jumped out of the plane without any auxiliary equipment.
By the time the rescue team found the new city, he was covered in sores that not a single bone on his body was intact.
In the words of the medical team leader, it's a miracle that this guy is still alive.
Even with the current medical technology on Earth, Xincheng would need to stay in bed for at least ten days to two weeks after returning.
As for whether there are any other long-term effects?
It is estimated that a special consultation by top medical experts from around the world will be needed to make a diagnosis.
"New City!"
They parked the Victory Flying Swallow No. 1 on a temporary landing pad and Lina and Daigo immediately went to the two wounded soldiers' side.
After witnessing the horrific scene in the new town, Lina almost screamed in shock.
"Cough cough...don't shout...so exaggerated..."
With great effort, Xincheng opened his eyes, displaying his usual optimism and open-mindedness.
"I'm not dead yet... and I probably won't die..."
Speaking haltingly, Shinjo managed a weak smile at Rena and Daigo.
"However... this time... I've broken a record..."
"I've jumped from planes so many times, but this is... the first time I've ever been this badly injured..."
"The next task... can only be entrusted to... you..."
Just then, the stern-faced medical team leader stepped in front of Lina and Daigo.
"Don't worry, he'll be fine."
"But he needs to rest now, so please don't disturb him anymore."
Faced with the medical team leader's polite yet warning words, Lina and Daigo immediately made way for him.
They watched as Shinjo and Munakata were transported onto the medical plane, and only then did they both breathe a sigh of relief.
"Team member Lina, Team member Daigo, can you hear me?"
Daigo and Rena had barely caught their breath when Nori's voice came through their earpieces.
"can hear!"
"no problem!"
They answered in unison once again, demonstrating an amazing level of understanding between Lina and Daigo.
"Now that the problem with that strange bird has been temporarily resolved."
"Then I'll trouble you two to go to the former Earth Defense Force base again!"
"The captain and Horii have already gone there."
......................................................................................................
"It's time for you to make your appearance!"
Lu Xuan casually shoved Dr. Nezu away and said in a low voice with a calm expression.
"Tell the Victory Team everything you know, don't hide anything, I'll be watching you closely."
Before he finished speaking, Lu Xuan turned and disappeared into the nearby forest, leaving Dr. Nezu dumbfounded and unable to recover for a long time.
"who!?"
It must be admitted that even the logistics department of the victorious team is undoubtedly vigilant and professional.
They immediately noticed Dr. Nezu, who had suddenly entered the cordon, and quickly surrounded him, showing no sign of negligence or laxity throughout the process.
"My name is Masachika Nezu, and I am a scientist who belonged to the former Earth Defense Force."
With a slight sigh, Dr. Nezu finally stopped hiding, straightened his collar, and faced the puzzled gazes of the GUTS team members.
"I have something to say to your superior..."
"It's about that strange bird and the Zelda gas."
Having noticed the commotion, Daigo and Rena rushed over and overheard Dr. Nezu's last words.
After a moment of awkward silence, the two men reported what had happened.
Before long, Nozue confirmed Dr. Nezu's identity by using archival materials from the former Earth Defense Force.
Along with this, the identity of the developer of "Zelda Gas" was also confirmed.
Realizing that the old man in front of her might indeed know some secrets, Lina immediately signaled to the logistics department to cordon off the area and prevent outsiders from entering.
She and Daigo walked straight up to Dr. Nezu and got straight to the point.
"Hello, we are the 'commander' you are looking for. You can tell us what you need to do."
"But before that, I'd like to know how you got here?"
When she said this, Lina made no attempt to hide her confusion.
She couldn't understand how this frail old man had managed to break through the logistics department's curfew.
“Someone brought me here, and it was he who made me tell you everything.”
Upon hearing this, Lina appeared even more confused.
"Who brought you here?"
Faced with Lina's question, Dr. Nezu also seemed somewhat confused.
"I don't know who he is either..."
“He claimed to be from the Galvin Group, but he clearly knew things they shouldn’t know.”
While Lina was still confused, a look of sudden realization flashed in Daigo's eyes.
Fortunately, Lina didn't notice Daigo's expression. Instead, she frowned and pondered for a moment before continuing to ask questions.
"So what are you trying to tell us?"
Taking another deep breath, Dr. Nezu explained with a mixture of sadness and relief.
"I'll tell you some truths about Zerda Gas and Sila."
"Yes, Sila is the strange bird that fought with you earlier. It used to be my daughter's pet..."
Seeing the shocked expressions on Lina and Daigo's faces, Dr. Nezu knew they must have misunderstood something, so he went on to explain further.
"Don't misunderstand, it wasn't like this before."
"Twenty years ago, when my daughter was still alive, it was just a parrot named 'Sila'."
"It became like this entirely because of me, because of Zelda gas..."
"So it hates me, and it hates Zelda gas..."
After a slight pause, Dr. Nezu's face revealed an undisguised sadness.
“It’s actually a good child. It’s always been the one who takes my place and stays by my daughter’s side.”
"All of this is due to my negligence and arrogance, which has led to these terrible consequences."
“I don’t ask for your forgiveness, I just hope you can know the truth that was once covered up.”

Chapter 597 Zerda Gas (Third update, please subscribe!)
More than 20 years ago, TPC had not yet been formally established.
Back then, the Earth Defense Force still ruled, and it was the most frantic era for humanity under the threat of extraterrestrial life.
In order to gain the power to resist the invasion of extraterrestrial visitors, the Earth Defense Force at that time spared no expense in developing all kinds of dangerous weapons.
Among them, Zildar Gases is a leader.
This gas, synthesized through a special formula, possesses astonishing destructive power and the ability to sustain combustion.
It was immediately regarded as the best weapon by the former Earth Defense Force upon its development, and a large amount of funds and manpower were invested in its further research.
However, Dr. Nezu, the developer, did not want to use Zilda Gas as a weapon.
In Dr. Nezu's view, it was completely pointless for the former Earth Defense Force to devote all its energy to developing an arms race in order to defend against the almost impossible alien threat.
