Moonlight team, are you awake?

She disappeared at the door of my dream with the monster capsule, apparently leaving via a unique means of transportation.

I dreamed of sitting alone in the living room, getting bored and ready to turn on the TV to watch for a while.

The moment he picked up the remote control, he suddenly felt as if he was in another world. When he was a child, he was a loyal fan of TV. The happiest thing was that his parents allowed him to watch unlimited TV programs every day on weekends and holidays.

It was on TV that he came into contact with many animations and special effects programs, including the Ultraman series. Every day, he would carry a small stool and squat in front of the TV, waiting for the familiar OP scenes to appear, which was a compulsory course at that time.

But then he grew up, and the Internet age made it easier to obtain information. In addition, his family's conditions improved and they installed a computer, so he hadn't turned on the TV for a long time.

Today, even having free time to check his cell phone is a luxury, let alone a TV. The electronic device he comes into contact with most every day is the communicator at the defense base, and whenever that thing rings, basically nothing good will happen.

Picking up the TV remote control again and turning on the TV, I felt like I was in a dream. It was as if everything that happened before was just a dream. He just had a good sleep in a very ordinary afternoon. When he woke up, the world was still peaceful. The five o'clock "Ultraman Tiga" was about to be broadcast on TV.

"We're back~~" The voice at the door brought me back to reality. Photon and Jetton appeared in front of me, each holding two large bags of vegetables and snacks.

She put her things on the ground, rubbed her fingers that were left with red marks from being carried by the hand, and muttered, "We saw you were still sleeping at noon, so we were hungry so we went out to eat. The ramen in the street next door tastes really good and is very cheap. If I didn't have to go to the defense team frequently for duty, I would really like to eat there every day."

Jaden carefully took the vegetables and fruits in the plastic bag to the kitchen refrigerator and put them there. As he put them there, he told me in my dream, "I was worried that you would have nothing to eat when you get up in the afternoon, so I bought some vegetables and ribs. If you're hungry now, there's a teriyaki chicken sandwich in the bag. Eat it first."

"I'm fine. I just woke up and I'm not too hungry." I leaned back on the sofa and stretched.

The sudden return of the two people made the house instantly lively. Guangzi talked to me like a serious office worker about how tiring it was to punch in at the defense team every day. Jetton was making corn ribs in the kitchen. After blanching the ribs in boiling water, he added scallions, ginger and cooking wine and stir-fried them. Then he added boiling water and cooked for more than half an hour. He also added sliced ​​carrots and corn. In an hour or so, the soup was stewed until it turned white and full of fragrance.

However, this peaceful atmosphere did not last long, and I fell into deep thought, staring at the news on TV.

[Breaking news! The Yellowstone Park super volcano suddenly became active and there is a risk of eruption. The government has organized an evacuation of people in the area! ]

"I'll explain your dream." I smiled and shook my head.

As soon as I heard the word "volcano", the figure of that "righteous man" seemed to appear before my eyes again.

After Golzan escaped, I Meng once proposed to the defense team to conduct underground inspections in many volcanic areas including the Wumenyue area, but no problems were detected at the time. I guess Golzan was still hiding somewhere else to recuperate at that time.

In the original work, it eventually recuperated in the Kirimon Moon volcano area of ​​Japan and evolved into a strengthened Golzaan. Unexpectedly, it may have now drilled into the Yellowstone Park volcano.

Compared with the Yellowstone Park volcano, the grade of the Mt. Fog is too low. If the former is compared to a basketball, then the Mt. Fog can only be considered an egg.

I still remember that there were often rumors on the Internet that if the Yellowstone volcano erupted, the human population would be reduced to one-tenth of the original population and that there would be mass extinction of all species. Later, those rumors were proven to be exaggerated and false, and the Yellowstone volcano was not that powerful.

But in this world line, I can’t say whether the Yellowstone Park volcano is as powerful as the rumors say.

But it is foreseeable that if the signs of eruption of the Yellowstone volcano are really caused by Golzan, then Golzan, who has absorbed the energy of the Yellowstone volcano, should be much more strengthened than the original.

However, this kind of news is not very disturbing to My Meng. If Golzaan honestly runs to Wumenyue and then becomes the enhanced Golzaan like in the original, then My Meng will be sweating profusely and think that this is a precursor to some major event.

"Let's see if there's any news from the defense team. If the Yellowstone volcano incident is really serious, news should come within a few minutes." I Meng sat down at the dining table very calmly, scooped a bowl of corn and pork ribs soup cooked by Jetton and started to eat.

No matter how big or small the matter is, you should eat your fill and replenish your strength first. No matter whether it is a simple natural disaster or a disaster caused by a monster, suppressing it is a huge project and it cannot be done without sufficient physical support.

As expected, just after I had eaten two bowls of soup, I received a message from the defense team. The message was very simple: "Big news, return quickly."

I Meng drank the soup slowly, touched Jayden's hair and praised her for doing a good job, then wiped her mouth and walked out the door.

When he rushed back to the defense headquarters, everyone else was already there, even Horii, Tango and Otomo, and all three of them looked sweaty at the moment.

Chapter 72 Battle Plan

"What's the situation?" I asked calmly.

Horii looked at him with a bitter face: "I really envy you for being so calm. The current situation is that the survey team of the North American branch has proved that the Yellowstone Park volcano will erupt significantly within 10 hours at most. Once it erupts successfully, the earth will enter an environment similar to nuclear winter within a few years. By then, the situation will be unimaginable."

"There should be a way to stop it, right?"

"There is a way, and we are currently making emergency preparations." Horii walked to the big screen and began to demonstrate the images on the screen through the smart remote control.

"According to the data calculated by the Space Development Agency, as long as we pour enough coolant into the crater to cool the magma reservoir of Yellowstone Volcano by 35%, we can prevent a large-scale eruption. Although there is a chance that a small-scale eruption will occur immediately, an eruption of that magnitude is relatively harmless."

"It sounds feasible. Does that mean we can survive this crisis?" A slight smile appeared on the faces of the Yamanaka team members.

"That's the theory, but... at present, the temperature of the magma of the Yellowstone volcano has been rising at an abnormal rate for some reason. If it continues to rise at this rate, we may not be able to cool it down in time and it will erupt."

This is why scientists including Horii are so worried. The existence and degree of harm of the Yellowstone volcano have been recognized by humans a long time ago, and preparations have been made for the hazards and prevention of its eruption. The plan just mentioned by Horii was proposed in 2017.

If only the Yellowstone volcano was about to erupt, no one would be so anxious, because as long as the coolant was poured step by step, humans would be able to get through the crisis safely.

However, the abnormal rise in magma temperature cannot be explained or prevented by any scientist at present. This situation, which is beyond common sense and cannot be understood by scientific experience, is what really makes scientists helpless.

If the eruption of Yellowstone volcano cannot be prevented, the Earth will completely lose sunlight in the next few years, and this will lead to a decrease in food production and a sharp decline in the human population.

Hearing this, everyone was silent for a while. I Meng stepped forward and said, "If you ask me, the rise in magma temperature is not a natural factor. There must be a monster causing trouble underground."

"Monster?" The mountain team member looked at me in disbelief: "Memeng team member, are you awake? The temperature inside the volcano can reach over a thousand degrees Celsius. What kind of creature can survive there?"

"Can humans be 100% sure about monsters?" I asked in my dream.

"This doesn't make sense. The basic living conditions there are not met." The mountain team members shook their heads repeatedly.

"How many of the monsters we have fought so far can be understood by normal biology?" I Meng listed many cosmic monsters including Bazanga and Zakira. The fact that they can move in the universe with their physical bodies and even fly at speeds of tens of Mach or even higher has already surpassed human understanding of biology.

Although incredible, they do exist, and their existence proves that human understanding of biology is still at a relatively primitive level.

Of course, this isn’t actually bad news for biologists back on Earth.

As a scientist, what I fear most is not that there are still many things that have not been explored, but that there is nothing to explore. That is the most terrifying thing.

Although the Yamanaka team members disagreed with what I dreamed of, it did open up the minds of Horii and the others.

At the beginning, they were indeed as limited in their thinking as Yamanaka, and did not consider that the volcanic eruption was actually caused by a monster, because no monster had ever appeared before that could control the natural environment of a super volcano to the extent of this. This could be said to be the first time.

But if you open your mind, the problem doesn't seem so complicated.

"Try using the biological detector I developed. As long as that thing doesn't go deep into the center of the earth, we can find it." Dr. Otomo stepped forward and said.

Among the scientists present, he was undoubtedly the most accomplished in biology.

He looked at Memeng with some approval in his eyes: "I agree with what Memeng said. Monsters are a completely new and unimaginable ecological position for humans. We humans have been refreshed many times just by exploring the existing life on Earth. So when facing such a strange existence as monsters, we should not be surprised no matter what happens."

"That's settled then. I will contact Commander Yoshioka at the front line right now and ask the North American branch to cooperate with our operation." Seeing that the people present had finally reached a consensus, Iruma Kei immediately and decisively formulated a strategy.

The news reached Yoshioka, who was at Yellowstone Park, at the fastest speed. When he heard that the disaster might have been caused by a monster, the first thing that flashed across his eyes was disbelief, because being at the scene he could experience firsthand what an incredible natural force he was facing at the moment. Human beings really have an indescribable sense of insignificance and fear in the face of such natural forces.

It is incredible that monsters can control such great power.

But years of experience in fighting monsters told him that nothing was impossible as long as the target was a monster. At first, everyone couldn't believe that flesh and blood could withstand missiles, but later it was proved that using missiles to scrub the monsters was like playing.

"Immediately arrange for the underground Pippa tanks to be on standby. Also, wait for the biological detectors from the Japanese branch to arrive and immediately conduct a survey of the underground area near the Yellowstone volcano. If a monster is found, immediately formulate a combat plan to eliminate it!"

At Yoshioka's command, all departments started to operate at the fastest speed. At the same time, he looked at the crater with worry, muttering, "Sawai, can we get through this?"

The sense of oppression brought by natural disasters and monsters is completely different. When facing the gloomy sky, people will have an indescribable sense of fear. Although its actual damage may not be greater than that of a 120-meter monster, actual damage and sense of oppression are two different things.

boom--!

Just as he was worried, the crater shook violently again, which could be heard clearly within a radius of several kilometers. Many staff nearby looked there in horror.

"Don't panic! It's just a normal reaction when the volcano is about to erupt!" Yoshioka calmed down the situation at the scene and shouted on the communicator: "Russell, hasn't the latest batch of coolant arrived yet? The situation at the volcano is very bad!"

Russell, the captain of the North American branch, said through the communicator: "Please wait a few minutes! We are already transporting the supplies as fast as we can. This happened suddenly, and it will take time to mobilize such a large amount of supplies!"

Yoshioka put down the communicator and pounded the table in dissatisfaction: "Damn it, we were really caught off guard."

Chapter 73: Total Loss Sound Quality Tactics

Fortunately, the huge roar from the crater was just a sign of an eruption, just as Yoshioka said, and the on-site troops finally successfully waited for the coolant to be transported.

Seeing the coolant pouring into the crater in piles, although the movement of the volcano has indeed been reduced a lot, the data from the on-site instruments is still not optimistic.

"After dumping the coolant, the temperature of the volcanic magma reservoir dropped by 15%, which is 5% lower than the effect of the last dumping." The staff who operated the instrument on site looked distressed.

After the last batch of coolant was poured, the temperature of the volcanic magma dropped by 20%. It was believed that after the second batch of coolant was delivered, the temperature would drop by 35%. In that case, the volcano would only have a small-scale eruption at most and would not cause large-scale damage.

Unexpectedly, the temperature of the volcano has been rising abnormally. Now dumping coolant can only delay the eruption at most, but it can no longer prevent the Yellowstone volcano from erupting on a large scale.

Seeing that the temperature that had just dropped began to rise again, even a calm man like Yoshioka began to sweat on his forehead.

Fortunately, at this time, the members of the Japanese branch had already arrived at the scene with Dr. Otomo's biological detector.

The leader of the team, Nagi Nishijo, stepped forward and saluted Yoshioka. "I am Nagi Nishijo, the vice captain of the Japanese Defense Force branch. It is an honor to meet you, Commander Yoshioka."

Yoshioka waved his hand and said, "Forget the polite words. Time is urgent. Let's quickly deploy the equipment for detection."

"Yes!"

Nishijo Nagi turned around and directed Horii and Wade who were accompanying them to unfold the instrument, and the two of them debugged the instrument as quickly as possible.

The moment the power was connected, the instrument suddenly made a harsh sound.

"Is the sound of this instrument being activated so loud?" Yoshioka couldn't help but cover his ears.

"That... that's not the sound of the instrument starting up."

"what is that?"

"This is the sound of the monster detected by the instrument. Dr. Otomo set that the larger the monster, the louder the sound of the instrument will be." Horii wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

"What do you mean?" Yoshioka suddenly had a bad feeling.

"The detection radius of this instrument is 500 meters. Since it makes such a loud noise right after it is turned on, it means... there is a monster at least 60 meters in size right under our feet." Horii stepped on the soil beneath his feet.

Everyone looked at each other in surprise, and saw fear in each other's eyes.

So everyone has been working on the monster's head???

"Everyone! Move our position immediately!" Without even a second thought, Yoshioka told everyone to run as fast as possible.

Are you kidding? We are working on top of a monster. If the other party climbs up, few of the people on the scene will survive.

Fortunately, the position was originally built temporarily. Everyone hurriedly stuffed their things onto the transport truck, got on the car and started working immediately.

After running for several kilometers, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"It seems that preparing the underground Pippa tank was the right decision." Yoshioka stood on the top of the mountain and looked into the distance, feeling fortunate that he had made preparations in advance.

"Underground Pippa Tank?" I was certainly familiar with this name. In the original work, Dagu and Xincheng drove an underground Pippa Tank to find Golzan under the Wumen Moon Volcano and successfully killed the vehicle.

That thing is really useful for underground detection, but using it to fight Golzaan underground is a bit...

Before I could finish complaining, a loud roar came from the distant sky. One transport plane after another flew in from the horizon and landed in an orderly manner at the temporary airport that had been cleared on the scene.

Then, the hatch of the transport plane opened, and one after another underground Pippa tanks emerged from it in an orderly manner and were neatly arranged in front of everyone.

"So many Pippa tanks?" Imeng originally thought that Commander Yoshioka had only prepared one, but she didn't expect so many to be shipped.

"Just use this thing to drive it out from underground, and then all we have to think about is how to kill it." At Yoshioka's command, the staff on the scene set up the equipment and controlled the underground Pippa tanks to drill into the ground one by one.

Seeing that Ameng had a very surprised expression, Horii beside him whispered in his ear and explained, "The Pippa tank was developed to deal with monsters that have the ability to drill into the ground. It is equipped with an unmanned driving module, and in addition to the conventional beam cannon and automatic cannon, it is also equipped with a sonic weapon system and a self-destruct system. For most monsters, this thing is just an indestructible noise box."

After Horii said this, I understood my dream.

It is very normal to carry an unmanned driving module, because underground combat is much more dangerous than air combat. If something goes wrong in air combat, there is at least the possibility of parachuting. If something goes wrong in underground combat, you can basically be buried directly.

Those who can carry out this kind of mission are all the elite among the elite. Only those with poor brains would treat these elites as consumables.

As for sonic weapons and self-destruct systems...I can only say that this world has been fighting monsters for many years, so it does have experience.

Ordinary beam cannons and missiles are of little use to many monsters, and it is difficult to cause substantial damage to them through head-on attacks.

Well, if the hard approach doesn’t work, try the soft approach.

This Pippa Tank is equivalent to the little gadget that comes with a birthday cake and can sing Happy Birthday. Although it doesn’t sing very well, once it starts, it is very difficult to shut it up.

From the perspective of the underground monster, it is like being asleep soundly and suddenly an iron box is thrown in front of it, playing "See you again" in full lossy quality for 24 hours non-stop. The key is that this iron box cannot be broken. Even if you take great pains to tear it into pieces, it will explode immediately.

It’s not over after the explosion, a new one will appear in front of you and continue.

How many can a patient monster dismantle? Now that the human race on Earth is united, the production lines of any industrial country in the world can immediately switch to wartime mode to produce the weapons and equipment needed for the front line.

The production lines of the five good men all started running non-stop, and they might even tire the monster to death.

In the past, many monsters were indeed consumed to death. The defense team worked in three shifts to use unlimited saturation strikes on the monsters. Even if the damage of each missile was only equivalent to a mosquito bite, the large number of them was enough to bite a person to death. This tactic proposed by Chief of Staff Hu Weiyong of the Asia Branch did successfully destroy many monsters.

Golzan, who was absorbing magma underground, suddenly heard a buzzing sound coming from the soil above his head.

Before it could react, dozens of Pippa tanks broke into the underground space where it was resting, and then began to attack it with sonic waves in a 360-degree surround. The effect was equivalent to a normal person being surrounded by a dozen speakers playing "Happy Birthday" at the highest volume with full lossy quality.

Chapter 74: Qiang Yier Golzan, step out!

A group of Pipa tanks surrounded Golzan, and all the sonic weapons were turned on to maximum power. Golzan, who was happily absorbing the magma energy, suddenly widened his eyes, and his entire eyeballs were filled with red bloodshot.

The sonic weapon instantly ignited Golzan's anger. It crawled out of the magma and stomped a Pippa tank hard into the rock. The tracks and shell were instantly twisted beyond recognition.

However, the damage to the tracks and hull did not prevent it from continuing to emit sound waves.
