Ultra: Heroes Don't Ask Where They Come From

There are ski resorts in Japan.

However, it is not accurate to call it a ski resort, just like Mount Everest can be used for mountaineering, but in the final analysis it is not an amusement park set up by anyone. The mountain itself is there, and people later added their own desires to the natural scenery.

Some people want to experience the functionality of mountaineering that the mountain itself can bring, so you can either hire a world-class mountaineer as a guide, or pay a high fee to join a commercial mountaineering team in order to reach the summit from the roads of Nepal or China and get the dangerous and blood-flowing satisfaction.

When climbing a mountain like Everest, there is almost no such thing as a true "solo summit".

The simplest answer is straightforward: the mountain is very high. Climbing such a mountain is impossible without specialized equipment and skilled techniques, but your physical fitness has its limits, so you will have to rest.

Therefore, even those climbers who plan to "climb to the summit alone" basically have to hire local Sherpas to carry their luggage and prepare the camp.

Anyone who can complete a true solo ascent of Mount Everest can leave his name in the history of mountaineering.

The Sherpas can be said to be local people. They are usually Buddhists, with a number of only tens of thousands, distributed on both sides of the Himalayas, including Nepal and Tibet, China.

Since it is difficult to grow crops in the local environment, the traditional economy is mainly based on trade between Tibet and India and yak herding. However, due to the active mountaineering activities, their culture has undergone great changes in modern times.

In a nutshell, there is a tendency to gradually transform economic centers and activity centers into tourist areas that serve mountaineers.

The basic trend of this ski resort in Japan is similar. Since it is a snowy area, outsiders come here to ski, so naturally there is a demand for hotels, and then other demands arise.

The local villages are basically far away from the city, a little lonely and ancient, but there is a considerable gap in income between the two. In this case, the villages naturally actively seek this kind of economic source of skiing, and naturally ski resorts appeared.

Although a bit off topic, this incident took place at a ski resort that was set up with the help of natural snow.

"The village was blocked by heavy snow, and all the people in the village were frozen to death?"

"Yes, I checked the cloud records in the AOF area and found that there is indeed a possibility of abnormal behavior of super beasts."

"Are there any witnesses who can confirm that a super beast appeared?"

"It is said that tourists who came here to ski said that they had seen a huge monster in the distant mountains. It looked like a dragon."

Captain Long pondered for a moment and said;

"What's the weather like? If there's a snowstorm, even the latest fighter planes will have a hard time getting in."

"There shouldn't be any problem with this, but if the super beast appears again, the weather may change drastically."

"Have the rescuers arrived?"

"I heard that the roads are all frozen and even blocked. Although they are being cleared, I'm afraid only helicopters can provide timely rescue, but helicopters are difficult to deploy."

Xia Long thought that the weather reason was one thing, and the money reason might also be another.

Earthquakes involving big cities are one thing, severe weather accidents at ski resorts and remote villages, and even super-beast crises are another. These days, even insurance companies don't promise losses from accidents caused by any large monsters.

Without further ado, Team Tucker majestically arrived at the ski resort in their fighter jets.

"I haven't tried skiing in May, but it certainly doesn't feel like May weather. It doesn't even look like Earth weather in any way."

The closer you get to your destination, the more you can feel the changes in the surrounding environment.

The air gradually became windy and turbulent, with faint white dots flying in the air. Once you enter the pure white world, the forest below you is dyed with blue and white crystals, as if it were a forest made of ice crystals. The kind of ice crystal forest that can only appear in cartoons.

The earth began to turn white, with sparse vegetation and colors other than white scattered on the earth. A snowy, icy land appeared in May in an island country like Japan, giving people a feeling that it was no less than reaching the extreme.

But the most surprising thing is that the sky is not cloudy at all.

There were only small white clouds in the sky, revealing the blue sky and the dazzling sunlight. Xia Long and his companions were on the plane at this time, and they could hardly see the ground.

The sunlight reflected from the snow can be very strong and can cause serious damage to the eyes. Even if it is snow, walking on it in strong sunlight can cause skin burns.

Snow blindness is a very painful condition that is best avoided by pilots.

However, this kind of weather is definitely not bad. It's really strange. The only possibility of not sending a helicopter in such weather is that there is a reason not to send a helicopter. This can no longer be explained by money. There must be other reasons for not sending a helicopter.

"Base, base, this is Zhen Xialong, I would like to ask about the current situation in the AOF area."

"This is Mikawa, Team Member Shin. There are no significant changes at the moment. The clouds are still gathering strong power."

Xia Long briefly reported the current observation situation.

It’s true that something is wrong here.

"Understood. Please continue to observe."

The communication ended, and Beidou, who was sitting with him, said because of concerns about the weather and the obvious landing space.

"Team Zhen, isn't the weather here a little too nice?"

"I can't judge, but from the perspective of ordinary people, it is true. On the other hand, the report that the whole village froze to death is a little unbelievable - it is unbelievable in contrast to the scene in front of me."

Xia Long spoke steadily while flying the fighter plane;

"They called the police three and a half hours after the incident, and then the police reported it to us. We heard that the weather was actually still bad at that time. Although there was no wind, it was gloomy and snowing. The snow was also very thick, so the survivors could only stay in the hotel waiting for rescue. But in this kind of weather, I can only say... God is not on our side."

Beidou was silent for a while; "What the hell?"

"It's just a Chinese proverb, don't take it seriously."

"I've heard that. It means things don't go as planned, right?"

Konno interrupted from behind.

Xia Long's language talent all comes from his strange automatic translation ability. In fact, he does not understand other languages, so from his perspective, the whole world speaks Chinese, but he has no idea whether his words sound like a literal translation or are faithful, accurate and elegant when heard by others.

"We're here. Sure enough, there's a place to park."

Two planes arrived. The one on Xia Long's side carried Xia Long, Beidou, and Konno, and the other carried the captain, Yamanaka, and Minami Yuko.

Don’t ask what kind of fighter jet can seat three people. The answer is Ultraman technology.

However, there was a small episode when talking about the process of recruiting personnel. The captain originally did not plan to let Nan Xizi come, because this operation was in snowy weather, and once the weather involved monsters, it might be an extreme environment, and men still have an advantage in terms of physique. However, Nan Xizi insisted on coming, and the captain agreed after thinking about it.

The plane stopped at a location that had been determined in advance. Xia Long was the first to get off the plane. When he landed on the ground, he stumbled and the snow covered his calves.
