Chapter 241 The Naga
Chapter 241 The Naga
All electronic facilities inside the TPC headquarters have failed, except for the main screen which remains lit up uncontrollably.
Inside the command center, chaos was mixed with order as everyone checked various facilities, attempting to trace the enemy's movements in reverse.
Captain Megumi stood beside the command console, her eyes fixed on the main screen, which was flashing strange codes and patterns—provocative signals deliberately left by the Naga.
"Captain, all conventional communication equipment has failed, and we are unable to contact the outside world," Lina, who was in charge of communications, reported anxiously.
Kijima frowned slightly and said calmly, "Continue to try to repair the communications, and at the same time speed up the reverse tracking. We must find out the origin and location of these Naga people."
"Yes!" the team members responded in unison, their hands moving even faster.
At this moment, Ye Rui frantically typed on the keyboard, fine beads of sweat appearing on his forehead.
"Captain, this interference source is extremely powerful, and our technology seems unable to break through it." Ye Rui's voice carried a hint of helplessness.
Megumi walked over to Norizumi's side, looked at the chaotic data on the screen, pondered for a moment, and said, "Try using the backup power to start the auxiliary system and bypass the interference from the main line."
Nori's eyes lit up, and he immediately began to operate according to Iri's instructions.
With a hissing sound, the auxiliary system successfully started, and the data began to fluctuate rapidly.
"There's a response!" Ye Rui shouted excitedly. "However... the tracking results show that the source of the interference is not from the Earth's surface, but from a mysterious region outside the atmosphere."
Jujian Hui's expression turned grave: "It seems the Naga people were prepared and established their base in a place that is difficult for us to reach."
"Ye Rui, connect to the Cosmic Delta."
Wildra: "Captain, connection lost, Delta Force has lost contact!"
Lina's face was filled with worry when she heard this.
Her father lives in the Delta, but they can't get in touch with him right now.
Megumi's heart sank. The loss of contact with the Cosmic Delta meant the situation was more serious than she had imagined. She knew she had to stabilize the situation and not let the team's morale be affected too much.
"Lina, don't worry too much. Everyone in the Cosmic Delta is an elite; they'll be safe and sound. What we need to do now is focus on dealing with the immediate crisis," Megumi Kijima said softly, her eyes filled with determination and encouragement.
Lina took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down: "Yes, Captain, I understand."
Megumi turned her gaze back to the main screen; the flashing code seemed to be defying her. "Yorui, continue analyzing this code and see if we can find a way to crack it or obtain more information about the Naga."
"Yes, Captain!" Ye Rui stared intently at the screen, his fingers flying across the keyboard. After a tense moment, his expression suddenly turned grim.
"Captain, these codes... seem to be a countdown program, and time is running out." There was a hint of fear in Ye Rui's voice.
Megumi's heart tightened suddenly: "How much longer?"
“Less than 10 seconds,” Ye Rui replied.
"The countdown has started. There are three seconds left."
"3"
"2"
"1"
As the countdown ended, all equipment instantly returned to normal.
Just as they were stunned, the alarm sounded inside the base.
Realizing what was happening, Ye Rui quickly checked the source of the signal.
"Monster activity detected. The location is near Daigo and Horii's place, which is the dinosaur research institute!"
At that moment, Director Sawai's communication came in.
His portrait appeared on the big screen, with Lin Yeming standing beside him, and a man who looked very familiar nearby.
Director Sawai said solemnly, "Captain Megumi, our stance against Earth's invaders has always been firm. No matter what threats we face, we will never yield."
"Yes!"
Director Sawai nodded and looked at Lin Yeming, saying, "Yeming, do you have anything to say?"
"Captain, Vice-Captain, it's wishful thinking to think that a mechanized monster can rule over humanity. When the GUTS team goes out to attack later, we must find an opportunity to investigate the inside of the mechanical dinosaur."
Captain Ju Jianhui nodded slightly: "Understood, Lin Yeming. Don't worry, we will do our best to find out the truth. However, the situation is complicated at the moment. The Naga people are coming in strong and have a base outside the atmosphere. These mechanical dinosaurs are probably just their first move."
Lin Yeming continued, "Captain, I've obtained some clues. The Naga people seem to have a strong interest in ancient civilizations, which may be related to the ancient ruins we discovered earlier."
The mechanical dinosaur might hold the key to unraveling the Naga's conspiracy, so we must be extremely careful.
Deputy Captain Zongfang added from the side, "So, this mechanical dinosaur might not just be a weapon to attack us; there might be a deeper purpose behind it?"
“Very likely,” Lin Yeming affirmed. “Also, the man standing next to me…” He gestured to the familiar-looking man beside him, “he possesses some special skills that might be of help to us in the future.”
All eyes turned to the man, who nodded slightly and introduced himself: "Hello everyone, my name is Masaki Keigo."
During the research process, we encountered some phenomena that defied common sense. After analysis, we found that they seemed to be closely related to the Naga people's incident.
I brought some homemade detection equipment, hoping it will be helpful to the winning team.
Captain Megumi looked Masaki Keigo over. Although slightly surprised by his appearance, she knew that this was a time when they needed manpower, so she said, "Thank you for your assistance, Mr. Masaki. Time is of the essence, so the GUTS team will depart for the Dinosaur Research Institute immediately. Rena, keep communication with headquarters open; Nozue, provide technical support as needed; Daigo and Horii, you are already nearby, so be prepared to coordinate with your teammates who arrive later."
"Yes!" the team members answered in unison.
The Victory Flying Swallow took off quickly and sped toward the Dinosaur Research Institute.
To prevent the enemy from pulling off any major maneuvers, Megumi Kijima did not deploy the Atdis; such powerful firepower must be used to deliver the decisive blow.
At the same time, they also received reports of attacks on other branches.
They were small spaceships that suddenly appeared and attacked military facilities. Their powerful speed made it impossible for the various branches to determine where the enemy came from for a while.
However, judging from the received messages, their electromagnetic wave information channel should have been intercepted.
At this moment, the mechanical dinosaur stopped.
The Naga people issued an ultimatum.
"Surrender within one hour, or we will destroy humanity!"
