The automatic door opened, and Director Sawai stepped through.
"This is a new monster. I've already deployed ground troops to seal off the area!"
"These are the bitter fruits of our human experimentation, and now humanity has to bear the consequences. The enemy is not only outside, but also on this earth. This time it happened in the deep sea, but we don't know where it will happen next. Now we can only eliminate it."
"The monster on the shore is called Silizan, and the monster that escaped is called Reilos."
"Everyone, do your best."
"understand!"
The members of the Victory Team all left in unison. The two Victory Swallows went to patrol the sea first, while the rest rushed to Silizan.
When they arrived at the scene, TPC staff had already set up various equipment.
Lin Yeming led Horii and Shinjo to the scene; they needed to collect some samples for analysis.
Currently, only designated television stations are allowed to report on the event; other stations are not permitted to enter.
Ignoring the reporters standing nearby, Lin Yeming walked into the area and looked at the monster.
The monster emitted a strong stench, similar to what he had smelled at the boxing gym before.
He looked at Horii, who was busy nearby, and asked, "Horie, can you collect a cell sample from the monster?"
Horii used the data collector to scan the basic data of Cilizan before extracting cells.
"Yes, although this monster is rotten, it can still be collected using the newly developed cell collection device. We just need to analyze the collected data."
"Data collection complete!"
Zongfang waved and called his name: "Ye Ming!"
Lin Yeming turned around and saw it was the commander. They went into the tent together: "Commander, what brings you here?"
Zong Fang explained his purpose: "The General Staff Headquarters has already held a meeting."
"The body was burned immediately; the stench from it was too much, and we were also worried about it causing marine pollution."
Lin Yeming also agreed to burn the monster, and asked what was wrong: "Burning it is possible, but with such a large body, it may not be easy to burn."
"What are the plans at headquarters?"
Munakata said, "Because the monster's body was already highly decomposed, the higher-ups were afraid that the burning material would spread through the air and affect the residents."
"The plan is to temporarily remove the weapons from Unit 2, hoist the body away from the vicinity, and then burn it with napalm."
The concerns above are valid, but Lin Yeming disagrees.
"There are still monsters in the sea that haven't been found yet. I suggest burning them on the spot to avoid any unforeseen complications."
Zongfang hesitated, thinking that Lin Yeming's words made sense, and that previous events had proven that he had a strong foresight in dealing with monsters.
Therefore, he contacted Megumi to report the situation.
After thinking for a moment, Jujian Hui agreed with Lin Yeming's suggestion.
Zong Fang hung up the communicator and said to Lin Yeming, "The captain has agreed. As for how to burn the monster, we will be in charge on-site, with headquarters providing assistance."
The four sat together, discussing countermeasures.
Horii prefers to wait for the cell analysis results before proceeding with targeted incineration.
Although the suggestion was good, it was rejected.
The reason is simple: burning the incinerator on site has already put considerable pressure on the team leader, and waiting for more time would be bad for him.
Xincheng said he would handle the operations, and that people shouldn't ask him for advice.
Lin Yeming thought for a moment and said, "Commander, proceed with the burning operation as planned, and then adapt to the actual results."
"The rest is up to you."
Zong Fang nodded and contacted headquarters to express his needs.
A well-dressed presenter sat in the studio and said:
"Hello viewers, this is a special report from our station—The Resurrected Monster Attacks Shizuoka."
"We have invited Mr. Kosei Ueda, a commentator on monster disasters, to be our guest."
An ordinary-looking man waved and said, "Hello!"
The host's expression changed, and he said, "According to the latest information received by this station, the Victory Team plans to burn the monster on the spot."
"Mr. Ueda, what is your opinion on the way GUTS handled this?"
Kosei Ueda said with a gloomy face, "I think burning the monster's body on the spot is an extremely stupid thing to do. The monster died because humans were experimenting on it, and its body contains many unknown substances. What if burning it causes air pollution?"
"As a military armed force under the Earth Peace Alliance (TPC), the GUTS team's actions are truly unacceptable; they actually came up with such a brutal way of handling things."
The host smiled awkwardly and tried to smooth things over: "Mr. Ueda makes a lot of sense, but I think the GUTS team also has their reasons for doing this."
"After all, there's still a monster lurking underwater. Lifting the monster away would be too risky."
Ueda Kosei scoffed, "They could have easily cut the monster into small pieces and taken it away. The GUTS team members have no brains at all; they only think about dealing with things by violence and don't consider the consequences at all."
"I suggest that TPC headquarters should replace this year's captain of the Victory Team and let someone more capable take over."
The host wiped his sweat, glanced at the director, and the director made a gesture. The host quickly changed the subject.
"Okay, thank you for your insightful comments, Mr. Ueda. Now let's watch an interview about monsters attacking the city."
Three people were interviewed on site: a glamorous housewife, an urban white-collar worker, and a college student.
The three people gave different answers.
The first person interviewed was a glamorous woman. When asked what she would do if a monster appeared, this was her answer.
"Isn't it in Tokyo? Then there's nothing to worry about."
He seemed completely unconcerned, as long as nothing happened to her.
The urban white-collar worker looked down on the Victory Team: "I knew it! They shouldn't have disbanded the defense force at all!"
The college students, on the other hand, had complete faith in Team Victory: "Team Victory will definitely find a way to solve this."
"From this video, we can see that opinions among passersby are divided on the actions of the winning team."
"Next, let's connect with our reporter on the scene. Ms. Oda, hello Ms. Oda!"
Hello, host!
"Ms. Oda, how is the situation at the scene?"
Holding the microphone, Oda's expression wasn't good: "Host, the situation here is a bit awkward. The Victory team has sealed off the area and isn't letting reporters in to conduct interviews."
"Furthermore, according to nearby residents, the stench emanating from the monster is unbearable and has seriously affected their lives. They hope that TPC can deal with it as soon as possible."
Kosei Ueda grabbed the microphone and said, "The TPC is doing nothing and doesn't care about the lives of ordinary people. I suggest everyone take to the streets to protest against the TPC's violent law enforcement."
Oda paused for a moment, then took the microphone and said, "Okay, thank you for your suggestion, Mr. Ueda. We will continue to follow up on the progress of this matter."
The scene flashed back to the studio.
The host said with a slight headache, "Thank you for the report from our reporter on the front lines. We will continue to follow this matter and hope that everyone will not believe or spread rumors."
The host was speechless. He was told to promote the defense forces more, but this so-called expert actually wanted to condemn the PTC.
