Rebirth: I am Ultraman Tiga
Chapter 165 Sleeping Crisis
The morning sun is like a gentle mother, with endless love, as usual, gently passing through the clouds, spreading the golden light to every corner of the city. The light seems to have life, gently caressing the outer walls of high-rise buildings, covering the cold buildings with a warm gauze; it jumps on the trees on the street, and the leaves are reflected in emerald green, each one is like a carefully carved jade, flashing the luster of life in the breeze; the sun has not forgotten those narrow alleys and lanes, it strives to drill in, dispel the darkness, and awaken every ancient stone slab and every old door and window. Under the caress of the sun, the city is like a sleeping giant, gradually waking up, full of vitality and vigor.
The streets should have been bustling with traffic. Cars were like fish in a river, shuttling in and out of the streets one after another. The horns of the cars honked one after another, like a grand symphony concert. Some of the horns were short and crisp, like the treble strings of a violin dancing happily, which was the driver politely reminding the vehicles or pedestrians ahead; some were long and continuous, like the low cello sound, with a little urgency, perhaps protesting against the traffic congestion. Pedestrians were bustling on the sidewalks, and their conversations intertwined to form a unique morning song in the city. The elderly walked slowly, greeted each other, talked about today's vegetable prices and interesting things about the younger generations at home; the young office workers hurriedly walked on the phone to arrange their work for the day while eating breakfast; the children carried their schoolbags, laughed and played and ran to school, their laughter echoed in the air like silver bells, adding infinite vitality to the city.
However, the morning of this day was completely different from the previous ones. Time was like a naughty child, inadvertently bringing the city into a strange and terrifying world. When the next morning came, the streets that should have been bustling were now like an empty city, as if their souls had been taken away. There was no car, and the only traces left on the empty road were the breeze. The wind was like a lonely traveler, wandering on the empty road, making a slight "whoosh" sound, adding a bit of silence. The shops on both sides of the street were closed, and the originally bright windows became dim at this time. The empty streets were reflected on the glass, like a series of frozen lonely paintings.
The sidewalks were also silent, without a single pedestrian. The familiar figures on weekdays had disappeared, no more old people doing morning exercises, no more young people hurrying on their way, no more innocent children's smiles. The benches for pedestrians to rest were empty, with only a few leaves that had fallen from nowhere lying quietly on them, as if telling of the loneliness of the city at the moment. The trash cans on the street also stood there quietly, without the brief stop people made to discard their trash in the past. The surroundings were so clean that it seemed unreal, with only a small ball of paper occasionally blown up by the wind, rolling on the ground a few times before stopping powerlessly.
The whole city was shrouded in a strange silence, as if the pause button was pressed. This silence was so heavy that it was suffocating. Without the usual hustle and bustle of the city, even the birds seemed to feel the strangeness and no longer sang happily. Only occasionally one or two flew across the sky and made a few lonely calls, and the sound spread far and wide in the silent air. Above the city, there should have been white trails of airplanes under the blue sky and white clouds, but now there is only the blue and somewhat monotonous sky, without a trace of impurities, but also without life. The factories in the distance no longer have the curling green smoke coming out of the chimneys. Those tall chimneys are like silent giants, standing there quietly, witnessing the strange tranquility of the city at this moment.
In this silent city, every corner hides unknown fears. Those sounds that are usually ignored disappear without a trace, leaving only a silence that seems to come from the abyss, swallowing everything. This city is like a place forgotten by time, waiting for someone to uncover the secrets behind this silence and awaken it to restore its former vitality.
In the sturdy and technologically advanced building of the Victory Team Base, Captain Yang Xue woke up in the early morning light as usual. Her biological clock was like an accurate clock, which could wake her up on time no matter how tired she was from the previous day's work, because she knew her responsibility, which was to protect the safety of the entire city.
Captain Yang Xue quickly tidied herself up and put on the uniform that represented honor and mission. She stood in front of the mirror, her resolute eyes revealing an innate leadership. As an experienced leader, she has experienced countless hardships and obstacles, and each time she has led the team to overcome danger with her outstanding ability. Her decisive style of action is like a sharp blade, which can always quickly find the key and make the right decision in a complex situation. It is precisely because of this that the team members are full of unreserved trust in her. As long as she is there, everyone seems to have a backbone.
At the same time, in another corner of the base, Lin Feng also got up early. He was like the rising sun, full of vigor and vitality. As a young and promising star in the team, he had a passion for this career and endless enthusiasm for unknown challenges. He quickly washed up and put on his team uniform, which made him look even more heroic. He couldn't wait to start a new day's work, because every day was an opportunity for him to grow and prove himself.
When Captain Yang Xue and Team Member Lin Feng came to the public area of the base, they inadvertently looked out the window at the street at the same time. At that moment, their eyes froze instantly, and a strong sense of uneasiness surged in their hearts. Usually at this time, the street should be a bustling scene, but now it is terribly quiet. This silence is like a heavy boulder, pressing on their hearts.
The silence was so unusual, as if an invisible force had drained all the vitality out of the city. There was no sound of vehicles on the street, no laughter from pedestrians, and no noise from shops opening for business. The empty road was like a passage leading to a dark abyss, and the buildings on both sides looked eerie and indifferent in the dim light of the morning. This silence was like countless pairs of prying eyes hidden in the darkness, and those eyes seemed to be coldly watching everything in the dark, peeping at this city that had fallen into an inexplicable slumber, which was creepy. Every little movement caused by the breeze blowing across the street was like a signal from a threat hidden in the dark, making their nerves more tense. Captain Yang Xue's hands clenched unconsciously, and her eyes became sharper, as if she wanted to penetrate this strange silence and find out the reason behind it. Team member Lin Feng swallowed his saliva. He could feel his heartbeat speeding up, which was an instinctive reaction to facing unknown dangers, but there was no retreat in his eyes. Instead, he ignited a stronger fighting spirit and was ready to face the upcoming challenges with the captain.
Captain Yang Xue stood in front of the window, her eyebrows furrowed, like twisted braids, with deep wrinkles on her forehead that carved the Chinese character "川". Her eyes were as sharp as a hawk's, staring through the window at the eerily quiet street outside, not missing a single detail. With years of experience and keen intuition, she had keenly sensed the seriousness of the situation. This silence was by no means accidental, it was like the suffocating calm before the storm, behind which there must be a huge crisis, perhaps an incident that posed a fatal threat to the safety of the entire city.
Without any hesitation, Captain Yang Xue turned and walked quickly to the control console of the base. Her steps were firm and powerful, and every step was filled with unquestionable determination. She skillfully operated the complex instrument, and her slender fingers quickly tapped on the control buttons, quickly activating the emergency alarm system.
Suddenly, the alarm sounded in the base. The sharp alarm sounded like surging waves, hitting everyone's eardrums wave by wave, breaking the original tranquility of the base. Red warning lights began to flash wildly in every corner, like countless pairs of frightened eyes in the darkness. The lights illuminated every corridor and every room, rendering the tense atmosphere to the extreme.
The team members were doing their daily preparations in their respective rooms, either organizing their equipment or checking documents. The alarm and flashing lights alerted them instantly, and they put down their work and rushed to the meeting room without hesitation. Their movements were swift and agile, like arrows shot from a bow.
In the corridor, footsteps and shouts were intertwined. Some team members were running while tidying up their messy clothes, their eyes full of confusion; some team members had serious expressions and frowned, trying to guess what might happen from the sudden alarm; others whispered to the people around them, asking each other if they knew anything, but all they got was a blank shake of the head. Everyone's face was full of confusion and tension, not understanding what had happened that made the usually calm captain gather everyone so urgently. This unknown situation was like a thick fog, shrouding everyone's heart and filling their hearts with uneasiness. But they also knew that at this critical moment, they must remain calm and obey the captain's command, because they are the winning team and it is their mission to protect the city.
When all the team members gathered in the conference room, the solemn atmosphere permeated the air like a substance, making people feel a little breathless. Captain Yang Xue stood in front of the conference room with a serious expression, like a steady mountain, giving people a sense of solidity that they can rely on. She was tall and straight, and her iconic captain's uniform was neat and straight. Every wrinkle seemed to tell the heavy responsibility she shouldered. Her eyes slowly swept over each team member, and her eyes were deep and sharp, like two searchlights, passing over the faces of the team members one by one. In that look, there was both solemnity, like the dark clouds before the storm, foreshadowing the huge challenges that were about to be faced; and deep trust in everyone, like the twinkling stars in the dark, it was a silent power, conveying her firm confidence in this team.
"Team members," Captain Yang Xue spoke. Her voice was steady and powerful, like the sound of a huge bell, echoing in the conference room where a pin drop could be heard. Every word was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, stirring up ripples. "This morning when Lin Feng and I saw the situation on the street, we found something extremely unusual." She paused for a moment, and the creepy scene in the morning emerged in her mind. The street was like an abandoned ghost town, and everything that was familiar had become strange and terrifying.
"You've seen it, too," the captain continued, her eyes seemed to want to penetrate the wall and look at the silent street. "The street is strangely silent. It's a kind of silence that goes deep into the bones, as if all sounds have been wiped out from this world by an invisible hand. There are no pedestrians on the sidewalks. The office workers who usually rush around, the elderly who take a leisurely stroll, and the children who laugh and play have all disappeared without a trace. There is only an empty road, so quiet that people can't help but wonder if they are trapped in a nightmare. And on the road, there is no trace of the vehicles that usually flow endlessly. Those colorful cars used to be like the blood of the city, flowing in the blood vessels of the streets, bringing vitality and vigor to the city, but now it seems as if they have never existed."
The captain's eyes became more serious. She took a deep breath and continued, "This situation has never happened in our city. Our city has always been full of vitality and life. Early in the morning is when it wakes up from its slumber and when people begin a new day. But now, all of this is broken. This is by no means accidental. There must be some reason for it. Moreover, according to my judgment, this is likely to be an extremely serious threat."
She glanced at the team members again, with a determined light in her eyes: "We are the Victory Team. From the moment we were established, we have been tasked with protecting the safety of this city and its citizens. We have experienced countless hardships and obstacles, and each time we have successfully protected the peace of the city. And now, we are facing a challenge again. Although the situation this time is strange, we cannot retreat. The citizens are all asleep, and their safety and the future of the city are in our hands. We must investigate the reasons behind this as soon as possible."
The captain's words echoed in the conference room for a long time, and every team member felt the heavy responsibility. There was no more doubt in their eyes, but determination. Some team members clenched their fists slightly, as if to cheer themselves up; some team members had a gleam of wisdom in their eyes, thinking about possible investigation directions; and some team members looked at each other, seeing trust and tacit understanding in each other's eyes.
"Captain, we listen to you!" a team member said loudly. This shout broke the brief silence and other team members responded one after another.
"Yes, we can definitely find out the reason!"
"No matter what the threat is, we will not let the city be harmed!"
Captain Yang Xue felt a warm current in her heart as she looked at the motivated team members. She knew that this was an extremely excellent team, and no matter how great the difficulties were, they would fight side by side and go all out for the safety of the city.
"Okay!" the captain said loudly, "Let's act now. We will divide into several groups and search the city from different directions. Pay attention to every detail and don't miss any suspicious places. At the same time, keep communications open and report any discoveries immediately. We are the winning team and we will overcome this crisis!" Encouraged by the captain, the team members acted quickly and an intense investigation operation kicked off.
After hearing what the captain said, the team members began to whisper to each other. Everyone felt the urgency and seriousness of the matter. At this time, team member Lin Feng stood up, his eyes full of determination: "Captain, I think we can start from the surrounding blocks to see if there are any clues. At the same time, contact the city's monitoring center to obtain the surveillance video of the street last night, maybe we can find some clues from it." Captain Yang Xue nodded and approved of Lin Feng's proposal: "Lin Feng's idea is very good. Xiao Zhang, Xiao Li, you two are responsible for contacting the monitoring center, obtaining the video and analyzing it. The rest of the team members, we will divide into several groups to conduct a carpet search of the surrounding blocks, pay attention to every detail, and don't miss any suspicious places."
Under the captain's arrangement, the team members acted quickly. Xiao Zhang and Xiao Li immediately returned to the office and began to communicate and coordinate with the monitoring center. They knew that time was tight and every minute of delay could make the situation worse. After some effort, they successfully obtained the surveillance video of the street last night and began to review it carefully.
