Ultra: Heroes Don't Ask Where They Come From
Chapter 77 Underground Exploration
Even when an excavator was called in, the workers stopped after digging several meters deeper than the depth before the landslide.
They were all a little uneasy, because this situation proved that what Xia Long had said before to the eyewitness worker was beginning to be true. The disappeared worker seemed to have been swallowed by an unknown monster, and they might be the next one.
Panic naturally spread to the construction site.
Xia Long did not tease the detective who wanted to ask them to leave. Instead, he waved at him, motioning him to come over, and then said; "What should we do?"
The detective was stunned and asked, "What should I do?"
"...I suggest that this construction site be blocked immediately. If the monster's eggs hatch, there may be unpredictable consequences." After hesitating for a moment, he said this.
Xia Long nodded.
There is Jack in this world. After all, no matter how big the gap is between Ace TV and the original work, it is still the world view of the Ultra Brothers.
If we follow the timeline, the two-tailed monster and Gudun causing trouble in Tokyo was not too far away. The memory of that tragic war is still in everyone's heart, so the way it was handled cannot be said to be wrong.
However, the detective's words were obviously not complete, because if it was a real monster's egg, after hatching it would not be just a construction site matter, but at least half the size of the Kobe Earthquake. But this was not something the detective could handle, so he did not further improve his risk hedging measures.
When the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up, and Tucker can barely be considered a tall person.
"Beidou, contact the captain and explain what's going on here. Also, have someone from the intelligence organization come over. Although I think they're probably gone, it's still better to search the underground."
"Yes!"
“Tokyo is really dangerous.”
Xia Long twisted his foot on the ground as if he was stepping on a cigarette butt, and then said.
"I'm used to it." said the detective standing nearby.
The construction site was quickly cordoned off, and the workers followed orders and completed the personnel transfer. People in this era have a strong desire to survive. In addition to the intelligence personnel, Tsutomu Konno and Yamanaka came to the Tucker team, and the detective was recognized as being beyond the scope of responsibility and could go back.
Xia Long doesn't like Konno very much. It's not that he hates him, but he feels that as a top student, Konno joined the Tucker team by accident rather than intentionally. His mental outlook after joining the team also makes this apparent.
I don't know whether I should say it is the fault of the original screenwriter. Except for the captain, the two protagonists and Noriko Mikawa, the remaining three male members of the original Tucker team are like tools to provide dramatic tension. All they do all day long is worry about the plane crash and doubt Beidou, and they have almost no sense of existence.
They are not very useful, have low emotional intelligence, and even lack IQ. How did the Tucker team choose these people to join the team?
However, after it actually entered the real world, this aspect has improved a lot. At least, although they cannot be said to be good teammates of Ultra, they all feel like normal people, and the label of a single character has been removed.
Although it has just reached the normal level.
"That is to say, there is a two-meter-long egg that swallowed a person, and it may be underground now, right?" Shanzhong.
"This is too incredible..." Konno said, but his voice faded as Xia Long turned his sharp gaze towards him.
"It's incredible. How could the invaders use a two-meter-long egg in this way? And it wasn't sabotage or any tricks. They just swallowed a person and left. Is this really not an illusion?"
The team member in the mountain was very brave, and he didn't feel any pressure from Xia Long at all. He spoke as if nothing had happened, and even frowned as if he was thinking very seriously.
"It's possible that the driver was hallucinating. The worker might have been absent due to some matters and he didn't report it. The hallucinating driver thought that an egg had swallowed him, so he couldn't find the egg or the worker."
"Yanzhong, do you believe what you said?" Xia Long asked;
Yamanaka crossed his arms and curled his lips left and right. "I'm just stating all the possible options."
You're such a fool.
If it were Xia Long in his previous life, he would definitely not want to bother with people like Shan Zhong, who were so inconsiderate and would find all kinds of tricky angles to nitpick and nitpick.
The textbook says that the formula is like this, but he insists on asking why it is like that. Not only does he ask, he also refuses to accept the textbook and has his own ideas.
At least you should understand that what you say is unreliable.
"Konno, what is that machine you are carrying?"
Xia Long asked Konno, while looking up and down at the machine that Konno was carrying with both hands.
It was a suitcase-sized object, all silver-white in color. It didn't look like it was made of pure metal, but it couldn't be light at this level. There was nothing on the back, but on the front was a large display screen with various indicator lights. There was a groove at the bottom with something like a small electric motor stuffed inside.
"This is an underground detector. Team member Kaji said that if we use this thing and connect it to a data collector, we can observe what's going on underground."
Konno Mitsuru held up the thing in his arms to illustrate its function.
Japan in this world is a country with many earthquakes and also a country with many monsters. Therefore, after technological development has reached a certain level, people are very concerned about earthquakes, including the underground world, and have set up varying numbers of underground data collectors in various places.
It is not only to predict earthquakes in advance, but also to predict those monsters that may jump out from the ground at any time.
As the capital and an important developing city, Tokyo also has data collectors underground, but they are not everywhere and not all of them have very sophisticated functions.
If you want to search for objects to this extent, without directly detecting on the ground, you must specially deploy expensive special data collectors. This type of collector is an unmanned detection mobile type, which can detect underground conditions like a drilling vehicle. It is usually a machine used by important geological activity research institutes and military machines.
Xia Long often feels very desperate about the technological development of this world...
The intelligence organization, that is, the logistics team members who followed, first made sure that the machine could be connected to the data collector, and then placed the machine, which was about the size of a large dog, on the construction site. The machine used the drill in front of it that could not break through the sky to drill into the ground. There were three machines in total, and they sneaked into the underground like this.
The site manager nearby stared in amazement - he did not evacuate - and then muttered;
"There will definitely be underground city projects in the future."
Xia Long glanced at him.
In fact, there may be underground cities now, but humans have not discovered them yet.
But in that case, whether it was the underground people invading humans or humans invading the underground people, it would have nothing to do with him.
Xia Long, who was standing in front of the display machine, saw Beidou standing there, looking around as if in a daze, so he called him over.
"Beidou, are you looking for something?"
"I didn't find anything! ... Maybe it was an illusion. I just felt like someone was looking at us."
Beidou responded loudly, then walked over, shook his head in confusion and self-explanation.
