Ultra: Heroes Don't Ask Where They Come From

I will not restrain my mouth; in the anguish of my spirit I will speak, in the distress of my heart I will reveal my grief.

——Job 7:11——Anonymous

.......

The wind was blowing hard and the snow was falling heavily, but suddenly the rain stopped and there was no hail.

Although the weather was bad, it was much more tranquil than the giant super beasts when they were active. In the drifting snow and wind, with visibility less than 30 meters, several figures vaguely appeared, supporting each other, and walking step by step across the icy ground with difficulty.

"We're almost there, the hotel is just ahead!"

Beidou shouted loudly, if not, the sound would not be transmitted, even if the distance was very close, the sound would be unclear as if it was very far away.

Beidou and Minami Yuko supported Captain Long, who had once fainted during the forced landing, while Xia Long and Konno supported Yamanaka as they walked together.

Yamanaka was in a worse situation than Nan Xizi and Captain Long. Although he was protected by a helmet, the strong impact of the fall caused a head injury and a bleeding nose. Now his face was still covered with snow and blood under the windshield.

"It's so embarrassing that even Team Member Nan was not injured, but I was injured." Team Member Yamanaka said in a weak voice in the strong wind. Only three people present could hear this sentence clearly. Captain Long's face was twitching as if he had a headache. Although Konno heard the voice, he did not hear the whole sentence clearly. Team Member Shin said while supporting Yamanaka with his shoulders and Konno.

"Are you also trying to belittle the captain by saying this? The captain is also unconscious."

"That's not what I meant. I just feel useless..."

It seemed as if someone in the mountains heard it clearly, and continued to mutter to himself in an almost imperceptible voice, as weak as a bird with broken wings in the wind and snow.

"Damn that super beast, I must teach him a lesson next time..."

Team member Zhen walked with powerful steps and his voice was neither salty nor bland, revealing a sense of calmness.

"Just don't fall asleep."

The hotel was dark, the glass door was closed, and the snow formed a film on the glass door, making it impossible to see the other side from inside or outside. Including Beidou, the Tucker team members were exhausted. The snow fell on them, and their orange-gray uniforms were about to be dyed white.

Beidou was not sure what the temperature was now, but it was probably over forty degrees below zero. In this case, thermal underwear could not really make people feel warm. This level of temperature had already made Beidou feel uncomfortable. The other team members might have had a harder time, and they all struggled to get through it.

This is just the result after the cold wave of the super beast recedes. If the real Ace faces the coldness of the super beast, how will he resist it?

Beidou had the urge to look back at the super beast, but the enhancement of his five senses did not give him the ability to see through things. In this kind of wind and snow, he probably wouldn't be able to see anything even if he looked back, so he just stepped on the hard ice step by step, supporting the captain to enter the hotel.

When opening the glass door of the hotel, Beidou used some brute force, and the wind and snow leaked in. Beidou and Nan Xizi changed direction, trying to support the captain in a relaxed way, but the captain struggled to stand alone, closed his eyes, groaned, and opened them again. Although there was a tired look in his eyes, they were still very energetic.

"I'll go in, Beidou, you go in first."

"Are you okay, Captain?"

"It's okay, I'm fine. The injuries in the mountains are much more serious."

When Beidou entered, the light in the hotel was very dim. He didn't know whether it was because the power was out or the people in the hotel were afraid that the super beasts would be attracted by the light source and did not dare to turn on the lights.

Stepping on the snow blowing in from the ground, Beidou took off his helmet when he went in and breathed a breath of smooth air. The windshield of the helmet was almost invisible because it was covered by snow.

There are many people on the first floor of the hotel now. They are in the dark, and Xia Long can see their faces clearly, but their faces are all silent, and there is a hint of solemnity that makes Beidou inexplicably uneasy.

After the Tucker team came in, Beidou observed Shanzhong. His helmet was also taken off. There was a black and red color in the hair on the upper right side of his forehead. It was almost coagulated. The blood seemed to be flowing from there. Shanzhong's right eye was closed, and he was just breathing heavily, not looking at anyone.

Only Manatsu Ryuu. Before Beidou turned his head, he saw that he seemed to frown suddenly, smacked his lips lightly, and looked around gloomily.

what does that mean?

Beidou's questions were not over yet. Captain Long obviously felt the strange atmosphere at the scene. He took off his helmet, put one hand on his waist, and said calmly;

"Everyone, we have led the monster to the west and it won't be back for a while. Can we rest in this hotel now?"

Take a break, why are you saying it so politely? No, it is true that you are polite, but the captain's words always make people feel a little cautious...

A man stood up, he wasn't wearing a ski suit, just a big leather jacket, his hair was a little messy, the man said;

"Strange... Where is the mountain god? Have you dealt with the mountain god?"

The captain was silent for a while before he spoke slowly and clearly;

"The monster is now trapped in the west and can't move. Team Tucker will find a way to deal with the monster later..."

"lie!!"

The man yelled loudly, and the others stood up one after another. The man glanced at the Tucker team with a fierce expression and said loudly;

"The Tucker team's duty is to protect us. Listen to the wind and snow outside. Has the anger of the mountain god subsided? Have you protected us? No! On the contrary, before you came, it was always quiet here. The next second you stepped into this hotel, the anger of the mountain god appeared. It was you who brought the monster and angered the mountain god."

"Hey, how could you..."

As Beidou stepped forward, he was blocked by the captain's outstretched arm. The captain didn't even look at Beidou, but said in a calm tone;

"The monster is not the mountain god. If it were the mountain god, shouldn't it protect this place? It's just a ferocious monster that can hurt people."

The man did not believe it, but continued to shout;

"If that's the case, why don't the monsters kill us? Haven't the monsters killed many people and destroyed many cities? Is there any reason for them to let us go? On the other hand, Team Tucker has never defeated a monster so far, and they still have to rely on Ultraman to save their lives every time. Can we trust such a Team Tucker?!"

Beidou felt his teeth grinding, but he couldn't refute the reality.

Before becoming Ace, he was Beidou, a member of Team Tucker. Therefore, he shared the resentment and shame that Team Tucker could not resolve the Ultra Beasts. However, this does not mean that Team Tucker did not try their best. At least every member of Team Tucker did go to the front line. They were the ones who came in after their predecessors were wiped out. They all wanted to destroy the Ultra Beasts and protect humanity.

This guy knows nothing, yet he said this...!!!

However, there is another point that cannot be refuted, that is, why did the super beast appear immediately after their arrival, and did not kill them after appearing, but fell into a deep sleep in the frozen land after being simply led away, giving people the impression that it did not even want to fight.

Even if it was not a super beast but a monster, it was very strange and against their nature. Herbivores would be violent when bleeding, but when a monster was attacked, even if a superman was unscathed, how could its anger simply cool down?

"Yes, a blizzard started as soon as you arrived. The mountain god must be angry because of you."

The locals also started talking, one sentence at a time, and then they started talking more.

"It's really strange, right? As soon as the Tucker team arrived, the monsters came out."

"That's not the case. The Tucker team is also trying to protect us..."

"Protected? Do you know how soon people will die in such a heavy snowstorm?!"

"If you want to speak for them, then go and fight the monsters!"

"This is the anger of the mountain god."

…Beidou felt his hands begin to grow colder as the temperature increased.

“This group of people…” Yamanaka seemed to be about to curse out loud, but stopped.

The captain's expression did not change in the face of the chaotic conversation. He just breathed, his chest rising and falling, calmly.

"In this case, what are you going to do? Can't we take a break here?"

"Team Tucker has its own responsibilities." The leading man shouted, "Aren't you supposed to protect us? Then go and calm the snowstorm. Since you said it wasn't a mountain god but a monster, you should take responsibility. Isn't Team Tucker a monster attack team?"

The captain's back was straight, and his tone did not change; "We still have wounded."

The man stood in front of the captain and twisted his mouth.

The mountain was struggling to move.

"Captain, I'm fine!"

Manatsu Ryu said calmly;

"Shut up, is it up to you to decide whether you have anything to do or not?"

"I......"

Just as Shanzhong opened his mouth to say something, he started coughing as if something had been hurt. He was speechless for a while. Seeing the miserable state of Shanzhong, most of the people who seemed to be skiing showed expressions of pity. However, the local man in the lead did not give in and shouted;

"The wounded are your problem, you have to deal with it yourself."

"We are just borrowing the hotel. We won't cause any trouble to anyone here."

The man pointed and said, "Tell that to the snowstorm!!"

"...What are you going to do?"

The captain seemed calm even now. Although there were constant voices from people around him, it was obvious that this man was the leader, and he communicated with the man patiently.

"You go defeat the monsters and calm the anger of the mountain god! Isn't that the responsibility of Team Tucker?!"

The wind and snow continued to blow in through the gaps in the glass door, but the fine snow was blocked by the Tucker team members standing in front of the door.

But the howling of the wind continued and the heavy snow did not stop for a moment.

"That's too cruel..."

The man turned around and glared, "Who said that? You feel sorry for them, go and be with them, don't stay here!"

The man fell silent.

Although Beidou didn't say anything, he really wanted to speak in his heart, but the captain stopped him before, obviously meaning that he should do the communication.

This cannot be agreed to... It's not that Beidou doesn't want to fight the super beasts, but in this weather, carrying the wounded through the snow again is not a war but a suicide mission!

Even though the physical fitness of the Tucker team members present can be praised among ordinary people, if they really do this, or even really fight the super beast, even the real team members may not survive. The only ones who can survive are him and Nan Xizi.
