Ultra: Heroes Don't Ask Where They Come From

There are not many people in the cafeteria. Today's dishes include tofu, salad, teriyaki chicken steak, etc. The rice comes with miso soup, and you can also choose hamburger meat. Drinks include coffee and juice, which you can make yourself.

Beidou chose teriyaki chicken and rice with miso soup, and drank a cup of barley tea. He came over to Xia Long who was already sitting. He was eating slowly and didn't seem to be in a hurry at all.

"real."

Beidou called his name and sat down with the food. Xia Long nodded, stopped eating for a while, and continued eating after Beidou sat down.

Beidou thought Xia Long should have his own ideas, so he didn't do anything and just started eating in silence. While eating, he suddenly heard Xia Long's voice.

"You know that the Yawa people are actually code-named as people from other dimensions internally, right?"

Beidou raised his head and found that Xia Long's expression didn't change much. He was still eating normally, so he talked while eating.

"I know. After joining the team and facing the Ultra Beast, although the captain didn't say exactly what it was, it was indeed what he meant."

"The tragedy of Sakurajima was caused by the Yawa people, and their disappearance was due to the collapse of space. Someone did something in the center of Sakurajima, so the island with an active volcano fell into an unknown abyss. However, they were not really transferred to another space, but the space collapsed, so there is probably no hope of survival."

That's four thousand people dead, but Xia Long's expression was very calm.

"From this perspective and the existence of the Yabo people, you should know that the Yabo people originally lived in a different space from us."

"Yes, understand."

Xia Long pointed at the teriyaki chicken steak that had been eaten and said, "Give me a piece."

"Ah, oh."

Beidou quickly picked a piece and put it on Xia Long's plate. Xia Long picked it up with the fork beside him and turned it in his hand.

"Teriyaki chicken steak needs to be fried. The outer skin is fried longer, and the lower part is fried shorter to allow the meat to absorb the sauce. Therefore, the outer skin is dark in color, but the meat inside is very tender."

Xia Long showed me the side of the chicken steak and said;

"How can the meat inside be exposed? Do you think the meat can do it on its own?"

"..."

Beidou was silent. For a moment he really didn't understand what Xia Long meant.

"Cut with a knife, bite with teeth." Xia Long took a bite of the teriyaki chicken steak. The skin soaked with sauce was torn off by his teeth. The bitten skin part drooped weakly, revealing the white and tender meat. Xia Long chewed the skin and swallowed it a few times before saying, "The meat is exposed."

Xia Long's bite only bit the epidermis, and the skin was torn off by the force, so the flesh wrapped in the skin was exposed to the outside air. The skin only covered a part of the surface of the flesh.

Xia Long stuffed the rest of the chicken steak into his mouth, chewing it, picked up the bowl and quickly used chopsticks to pick up a few mouthfuls of rice and put them into his mouth. After a few seconds, his throat moved, and then he took a sip of the juice beside him, and said nonchalantly;

"NASA, you know?"

“Know…know.

"NASA is the agency that sends rockets into space, the Apollo program that landed on the moon, and the Voyager program for extraterrestrial life. They are all organized by them, as well as the million-channel extraterrestrial detection {META}. This year's 100 billion-channel extraterrestrial test is in cooperation with the Earth Defense Force. Almost all the aviation powers you can think of are included in it."

Xia Long said as he picked up food with chopsticks.

"The Million Channel Project was launched more than a decade ago. It is generally believed that this project was not only useless, but also led to the invasion of the Earth by aliens. However, at least we were lucky that Ultraman came. Therefore, the Hundred Billion Channel Project no longer transmits signals, but only receives signals. Although it seems to be a project with little practical use, it has lasted for nearly three years."

Beidou felt as if an electric current ran through his body, but Xia Long suddenly pointed at his teriyaki chicken steak with the tip of his chopsticks.

"Eat, don't stop."

Beidou hurriedly ate a few mouthfuls of rice, but felt that the teriyaki chicken steak became less and less tasteful in his mouth, and the miso soup he drank seemed like plain water.

"So, it has something to do with that, right?"

"Probably. Speaking of which, I've always felt that we humans really have a lot of incredible black technology. We have defeated something that Ultraman couldn't defeat more than a decade ago. Perhaps humans have been connected to the Yawa people since more than a decade ago."

"To connect means—"

"The Qianyi Channel only receives but does not send. Have you forgotten?" Xia Long said. He ate very slowly before Beidou came, but now, he has almost finished eating.

Beidou nodded thoughtfully.

"We have to go on a mission today, so finish eating early."

Xia Long ate every last grain of rice, then put away the bowl and chopsticks and left.

Beidou stayed where he was, eating the rice as if he was chewing plastic, finishing it cleanly.

He also left with his bowl and chopsticks, and went to the base. There were still two or three hours before the mission.

There was still some spare time, so he started walking slowly, partly because he had just finished his meal and partly because he wanted to recall some questions in the process.

The first thing that naturally came to his mind was the question of the Yabo people, but after thinking for a long time, he suddenly seemed to wake up.

Speaking of which, although I have always felt that Team Zhen is very reliable, and as a senior of the Tucker team or even a member of his life, he has a different sense of maturity. But as a member of the Tucker team, when did Xia Long notice what happened just now and conduct an in-depth investigation?

It would be better to ask how the investigation was conducted. Thinking in this way, the familiar real team members were also shrouded in a layer of mystery.

"I'll have to discuss this with Team Minami later."

Beidou thought to himself that this matter was no longer Beidou's personal matter, but something that Ace should resolve, and he would have to tell Team Member Nan later.

He had an urge to sigh, but soon it turned into a feeling similar to anger.

"Why... are humans connected to the Yawa people..."

Although Beidou wanted to say this, he only thought about it in his heart. The feeling similar to anger soon turned into another more complicated emotion.

When the mission was about to begin, Beidou, Nan Xizi, and of course Captain Long and Xia Long were all there.

As for team member Kaji Yoichi, although the dark circles under his eyes obviously couldn't go away for the time being, he looked much better than yesterday.

"Where are the people from the United Nations?"

"We'll see when we set out."

Captain Long answered the question irrelevantly.

"Now..."

Before my eyes there was an enormous fighter plane, covered in metallic silver and white. Its body had a streamlined beauty that was derived from some kind of technology, and it was tall enough for people to look up at. Rather than calling it a fighter plane, it was more like a battleship that caught my eye.

"Let's get to the destination first."
