Chapter 2013 Hello, Crow People, Want to Get to Know Each Other?
After delivering a speech at the GUTS team's operations command center, Sawai Soichiro hurriedly left.
After some discussion, the GUTS team concluded, based on the fact that Reilos was a monster mutated from nuclear waste, that it would leave behind a large wake and radioactive reaction whenever it approached the sea.
Therefore, Megumi Kijima immediately issued the latest instructions, ordering the two Victory Flying Swallows to keep their data synchronized with the monitoring satellite and continue to conduct surveillance flights within the sea area encompassed by the submarine seismic cluster.
Later, as the saying goes, perseverance pays off, and the GUTS team discovered traces of Reilos and radioactive reactions in the sea 240 kilometers east of Iwo Jima.
The two Victory Flying Swallows immediately turned around and headed towards the location of Reilos, while the monitoring satellite kept a close eye on Reilos's trail.
Soon, Nozue Hachimi discovered that Reiros was heading towards Izu.
This inevitably reminded Megumi of the Marine Science Research Institute in Izu, and the ultimate ultrasonic fish swarm induction launch system there.
Immediately, Megumi Kijima deduced that Reilos's target was likely the Institute of Marine Science, so she instructed Nozue Yasumi to send an emergency evacuation order to it.
Subsequent developments were largely consistent with the original story, and Gu Chen did not interfere much in the incident.
The only difference is that when Daigo Madoka transformed into Tiga and fought Reilos, he was not toyed with by Reilos's high-pressure water jets as in the original story. Instead, he decisively used the Miracle Restoration Ray to restore Reilos to its pre-mutation form and sent it back to the ocean.
Meanwhile, because the GUTS team had made ample preparations in advance, the incident did not cause any significant losses.
Life returned to normal, and Shinjo Tetsuo, with a bitter face, gritted his teeth and continued to receive Gu Chen's special training, hoping to master the fighting skills that Achilles had instilled in him as soon as possible.
……
In the blink of an eye, another half month has passed.
Tetsuo Shinjo sat slumped in a chair in the operations command center with a look of utter despair, staring blankly at the ceiling, seemingly unwilling to move at all.
When Horii Masami, who was passing by, saw Shinjo Tetsuo's appearance, she suddenly became emboldened and slapped Shinjo Tetsuo on the shoulder, saying with a gloating tone, "Hey, Shinjo, what's wrong with you?"
Tetsuo Shinjo's face instantly contorted in pain, his body tensing as he forced out a voice through clenched teeth: "Ouch...it hurts...!"
This exaggerated reaction instantly brought smiles to the faces of everyone in the operations command center, but even as Daigo Madoka smiled, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
The reason why Shinjo Tetsuo reacted so dramatically was that he accidentally strained a muscle while receiving special training from Gu Chen today, which led to the mischievous scene that Horii Masami just now played.
In response, Munakata Seiichi asked curiously, "Shinjo, why did you decide to go and train in combat with the advisors like Daigo?"
While amused, Nanase Rena asked with concern, "Are you alright? Can you handle it?"
Tetsuo Shinjo gritted his teeth, rubbing his shoulder where Horii Masami had slapped him, and said stubbornly, "It's alright. If Daigo can handle it, I can too."
In response, Nanase Rena remarked with some emotion, "Is this what men's strange competitive spirit is all about?"
Hearing this, Megumi looked at Gu Chen, who was standing beside her with an indifferent expression, and said with amusement, "Advisor, please don't ruin my lovely team members."
Before Gu Chen could say anything, Tetsuo Shinjo protested, "Captain, calling someone cute is a bit too much."
This time, not only Masami Horii, but even Seiichi Munakata couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Just then, the phone in the operations command center rang. Nanase Rena, who was closest to the phone, immediately reached out and answered it: "Hello, this is the command center."
Seeing this, everyone immediately stopped laughing and joking. Then, Nanase Rena continued, "Okay, I understand, Shinjo. There's a kid named Shinichi looking for you."
Upon hearing this, Tetsuo Shinjo first showed a surprised expression, then stood up from his seat with some helplessness, complaining, "Ugh, Shinichi? I can't stand that guy, he actually called headquarters to find me."
Kijima immediately asked curiously, "Do you know him?"
Tetsuo Shinjo nodded: "I know him. He's my cousin. He said he wants to go to GUTS. He's only in the third grade of elementary school now."
As he spoke, Tetsuo Shinjo took the receiver from Rena Nanase and said to Shinichi on the other end of the line, "Hey, you can't do this. How can you call headquarters?"
"Even if I'm a little older than you, you don't have to call me uncle."
"What, a crow-man?"
"Suck people away? Shinichi, explain in more detail."
As soon as Tetsuo Shinjo took the microphone, every word he said afterward drew the attention of the entire GUTS team.
Nozue Hachimi also immediately sprang into action, searching on the computer and turning on the large screen, saying, "Look at the large screen, there have been several reports of missing persons since a week ago."
"Six cases in total, including those in the eastern region, south of the bridge, and various parts of the central government."
Seeing this, Tetsuo Shinjo quickly asked into the phone, "Shinichi, where are you right now?"
"Hey, Shinichi!"
Tetsuo Shinjo's voice suddenly became anxious.
Hearing the commotion, Megumi immediately asked, "What's wrong?"
Tetsuo Shinjo said with a headache, "That kid wants to track the Crow People by himself."
After saying that, he turned to Nozue Hachimitsu and asked, "Nozue, where did the call come from?"
Fortunately, the GTUS team was able to track the phone signal, otherwise things would have been much worse.
Nozue Yasumi immediately replied, "B2 area, inside East Park."
Having obtained the specific location, Tetsuo Shinjo immediately put the microphone back and prepared to head there.
However, considering Tetsuo Shinjo's current physical condition, Megumi Kiyama allowed Daigo Madoka to accompany him.
Gu Chen, who was responsible for Shinjo Tetsuo's poor health, also volunteered to go along.
Of course, Megumi Kijima did not refuse.
Soon, a Drum car sped out of the undersea tunnel and headed straight for East Park in Area B2.
Before long, the three people in the car spotted Shinichi's furtive figure.
