Across the screen, I still heard the deafening sound.
Because the sound came from outside, the huge sound shook the things on the table and jingled. The air waves that followed caused the tent to sway back and forth and the tarpaulin to rattle.
, the choking dust rolled in, almost dyeing the sky an earthy yellow.
For a time, most of the city block was shaking, and the windows of several surrounding buildings exploded in response.
In the violent flames, the building where Julan was rooted was blown to pieces. Amidst the loud rumbling noise, it collapsed into a pile of ruins and turned into bricks and rubble all over the ground. The huge Julan was covered in flames, and from
The emerald green quickly turned to charred black, and then fell piece by piece, turning into fly ash as it fell, and was rolled together with the dust kicked up by the shock wave caused by the explosion.
Looking from a distance, a large mushroom cloud and billowing smoke and dust rose up between the cities. The scene looked spectacular.
"call!"
Chiba Cheng put down the high-explosive rocket launcher on his shoulder, blew out the gunpowder smoke from the muzzle that was thicker than his arm, faced the harsh hurricane, faced the huge mushroom cloud of flames and dust rising into the sky, and let his clothes swing,
He said very calmly: "Done, let's call it a day!"
"...But the matter is far from over." Yukino's sighing words came from the headset.
Exploding monsters is fun for a while, but it will cause a lot of trouble later.
You can think of it with your duodenum, and things will definitely not go away like this.
There is definitely more than one person waiting to get a piece of the monster's pie, and now that this benefit has been destroyed, how can they give up?
"It's better than letting people continue to die." Chiba Makoto said calmly. He believed that he had been to many worlds and saw many strange things, but the 'wonders' of this world were still brought to Chiba Makoto.
Here comes a big surprise.
After fighting so many monsters, this is the first time I have seen such a monster being run as an industry. Money is really attractive. As long as there is profit, I will do any business.
Even if it's fatal.
If you want to blame, excluding human factors, you can only blame the monsters in this world for being too weak. They are far less terrifying and powerful than the monsters in the arcana. The fear and despair they bring to humans are naturally not strong enough. In addition,
The Mecha Hunter has repeatedly defeated monsters, which makes people feel that monsters are nothing more than that.
But...
"The evolution of monsters is accelerating." Chiba Makoto stared at the disintegrating buildings and the huge collapsing flowers in the distance, and said to himself.
I don't know if it has something to do with him, but since he came to this world, in just two or three months, as many as five monsters have appeared one after another, which has caught up with the number in the past six months.
Not only has the quantity increased several times, but the quality has also far exceeded before.
First, the sixth-level monsters that occasionally appeared in the past two years became the mainstream, then the monsters that had always appeared alone appeared two at once, and now there are plant monsters that have never appeared before.
Everything shows that the monster is changing rapidly, and this change belongs to evolution.
An evolution that is faster and more changing than before.
Is this related to my own arrival?
Chiba Cheng could not confirm this guess, but he could not deny it.
"well!"
Yukino could only sigh in response to Arata's naivety.
As a child of a big family, he is very aware of the thoughts of those people. He really feels that he is superior to others. He rarely treats the people below him as human beings. If he does, it is superficial, but in fact he looks down on him from the bottom of his heart.
"Okay, I've been sighing a lot, but I'm getting old. Let's go back and rest." Qianye Cheng picked up the launch tube and threw it to his subordinates, and then walked towards the elevator to prepare to lead the team back.
The monster has been destroyed by his one shot. On the surface, it seemed that the shot ignited the pollen emitted by the monster, causing a huge explosion. In fact, he used the Ultra Dimension Card to hit the blooming bud under the cover of the cannonball.
The stamen in the center detonated the core, causing a big explosion.
Ding!
With a crisp sound, the stopped elevator opened, and Chiba Seishi calmly walked out. As soon as he reached the street, he saw an angry Masahiko Amane, staring at him with eyes that were about to burst out with anger.
Looking at the Ford team that is retracting.
"Who asked you to attack?" Yuyin Masahiko's anger almost overflowed. All his hard work was in vain, and he had to clean up the mess. It was like winning a lottery ticket.
But when I was about to redeem my prize, I was knocked away and couldn't be found. How could I describe my anger?
"Isn't this a cover-up for your actions?" Chiba Cheng said perfunctorily: "Seeing that your actions were not going well, I wanted to attract the attention of the monster. Who would have thought that the gas spewed by the monster is actually flammable.
But we should be thankful. If the gas is allowed to spread again, once it explodes, the scope of damage will be even greater, and you might also be involved."
"You..." Masahiko Yuyin choked for a moment, and was so aggrieved that he almost vomited blood. The fingers pointing at Chiba Cheng were trembling, but he was speechless.
If the monster is allowed to spew yellow gas and the flammable gas spreads, the damage to the city will not be limited to just a few buildings.
The secret service team's tent is not far from the monster. If the gas spreads for a while, once it explodes, they will indeed be sucked in, and they will not know whether they are alive or dead by then.
So, from this perspective, Chiba Cheng still saved them.
"...Thanks!"
Yuyin Masahiko squeezed these two words out from between his teeth.
Very reluctant and extremely frustrated, but...
"You're welcome, it's all for the people." Chiba Cheng's smile was very bright, but in the eyes of Masahiko Amane, he was so hateful. He felt that this guy was doing it on purpose, to see his jokes and ruin his good deeds.
As for saving him, the danger that didn't happen was immediately put aside. The only thing left in his mind was the thought that this guy messed up his plan and destroyed countless interests.
"Close the team!"
Chiba Chengyan gave the order concisely and concisely, then turned and left, with his back to Masahiko Amane, he waved his hand and said: "See you later."
Only Masahiko Amane, who was so angry that his face was distorted, stayed there, watching Chiba Makoto leave gracefully, and after a while he gritted his teeth and said: "This matter is not over yet, just wait."
The monster was burned to ashes, leaving only a few useless pieces of charcoal, but Masahiko Amane rolled his eyes and thought of a way to use this matter to attack this guy who had ruined his good deeds more than once.
You must know that there is a market for all parts of monsters all over the world. On the surface, they are used for medicine and food, but in fact they are used to cover something.
Masahiko Amane didn't know much about this, he just vaguely heard some rumors that some things on the monster were of great use.
But it is not clear what the specific great uses are and who is using these things for great purposes.
But this just shows that the water inside is very deep.
Otherwise, given his current position and family channels, how could he only know this little inside story?
"You are dead!!!"
Masahiko Amane's eyes became extremely vicious. This guy had ruined his good deeds twice in succession. If he just let it go, then there would be no need for this face.
—·—·—·—·—·—·—
On the way back, Yukino looked at the calm-looking Chiba Makoto next to him, hesitated to speak, and then lowered his head, his fair face full of worries.
It wasn't until the helicopter landed and after some encouragement that the three teams were disbanded, Yukino stopped Chiba Makoto and said: "Arata."
Chiba Makoto, who was about to return to the room, stopped, turned around and said, "What's the matter, Yukino?"
"...When the Shattered Sky here is built and the Mecha Hunters arrive, you will definitely become one of its pilots. Before that, you might as well train more."
Yukino's words were very tactful, but the underlying meaning behind her words was that she wanted 'Arata' to stay here and not go out.
It seems that today's shot had such a great impact that Yukino wanted to let Arata stay here to avoid the limelight and stop going out.
It's not that Yukino thought too much, it's just that Arata's performance was too strong and he killed a monster with one shot.
This is something that only a nuclear bomb can do, but you did it with a rocket launcher, which is really unbelievable.
"Yukino, what are you worried about?" Chiba Cheng said straightforwardly: "Destroying the monsters, shouldn't it be a good thing? It's a great achievement."
"But monsters... are not that simple." Yukino's voice became deeper and deeper.
"A monster is a monster, what's not simple about it?"
Yukino pursed her lips, took a deep breath, and said with determination: "The monster's brain can extract a substance that promotes rapid cell division. After being injected into the human body, it can delay aging."
"So many people want to cultivate this plant monster and continuously extract this anti-aging substance from it."
"Although it is only possible, there is a glimmer of hope after all, and now...it is completely impossible."
"Are you worried that those people will turn their anger on me?"
"Yeah!" Xueno nodded and said, "Especially for those who have no hope. After a glimmer of hope is shattered, it becomes even more unreasonable."
To put it bluntly, it is like a drowning person who wants to grab even a straw, but whoever takes away this straw will definitely be hated. Even if there is this straw, he will die, but human beings
, always like to find someone to vent their anger on.
Just like if you don't do well in a test, you won't feel that you didn't study hard, but you will complain that the teacher didn't help you; if your life is not satisfactory, you won't feel that you didn't work hard enough, but you will blame your relatives and friends for not helping you...
If ordinary people do this, let alone those in high positions, they will blame others.
"You really dare to inject something from a monster into your body." Chiba Cheng felt that this world was really crazy.
Such a terrifying thing as a monster dares to extract substances and inject them into the body.
"In order to survive, there is no need to resort to any means."
Yukino's tone seemed particularly calm. Being at the top, he had access to much more information than the people below, so he naturally knew a lot of dirty things.
If you have a high position, a lot of power and a lot of money, how can you be willing to grow old and die?
Nature will do whatever it takes to prolong life.
"...alive!!!"
Chiba Cheng nodded and agreed to stay at the base during this period, and he indeed needed time to investigate the matter of the monster's brain tissue extract.
I have been to so many worlds and seen so many technologically advanced civilizations, but no world has yet adopted the method of extracting substances from monsters to delay aging.
Don't say that people in other worlds don't want to live a long life. The better their lives are, the more they want to live. The greater the power, the harder it is to let go.
Even if it is a different world, people will try every means to extend their lifespan so that they can live longer. After all, there are only a few people who face death calmly, and the higher you go up, the fewer such people are. On the contrary, it is down below.
Because of all kinds of hardships and hardships, sometimes life becomes a torturous and painful thing.
In so many worlds, monsters have not been used, which shows that using monsters to fight aging is not only a dead end, but also an evil path.
But people in this world can actually use monsters to extract anti-aging substances. Either the monsters in this world have a problem, or those people have a problem, or they all have a problem.
"It seems that the water in this world is very deep, very deep." Chiba Makoto thought in his heart. He thought he would simply fight monsters to save the world, but he did not expect that monsters do not need to be fought very much, and the world will not see it in the short term.
There is a possibility of destruction, but there are not a lot of crises, but more of them.
Seeing that 'New Tai' had listened to the advice and complied, Yukino finally showed a smile on his face, feeling that 'New Tai' had listened to the advice much more than before.
What I fear most is that I am ignorant and unwilling to listen to advice. I always feel that what I see is everything, but I don’t know that it is just the tip of the iceberg. It is like a blind man touching an elephant without knowing the whole picture.
—·—·—·—·—·—·—
And in a certain gorgeously decorated building, a group of people were sitting in the garden on a sunny afternoon, sipping tea, chatting, talking about world events, and discussing the future of mankind.
When the atmosphere was getting tense, a person in the role of a butler hurriedly walked in and whispered something to an old man with a red face, causing the smile on the old man's face to disappear immediately, and then waved his hand for the butler to leave.
"Oh, it seems we have to push it back again." The old man said to an old man standing next to him: "The new monster that appeared was blown up, and there is nothing left."
Hearing this, the already turbid eyes of this old man, who was obviously in his final years, became even more bleak, but he steeled himself and said feebly: "This is probably my life."
"Why do you just accept your fate?" The old man who looked older but in better spirits and health stood up and said, "Don't worry, there is still a chance. It is said that we will get together again soon."
"Really?" Upon hearing this, the dying old man's eyes immediately lit up, and his hands gripping the armrests became even tighter, like life-saving straws.
"certainly."
The old man, who was clearly in his sixties but as strong as middle-aged, said with a smile, a flash of blood red in his eyes...
