Izumaru's travel notes

The next morning, Captain Shenmu came to the operations room to start today's work. As the captain, he was always the first to arrive, but today, someone took his place.

"Takamiya?"

Looking at the man typing on the computer and the mineral water bottles piled on the floor, Captain Shenmu was stunned. Didn't he sleep all night?

"Oh, Captain Shenmu, good morning."

Chonggong greeted him and continued typing. He entered manually because he wanted to try typing after a long absence, and because the fast data upload caused XIO's "watchdog" to give false alarms. Although it could be bypassed, it would trigger XIO's firewall. The manual input was also obviously slow. The data could be imported overnight, but due to manual input, only one-third of it was entered, and it had not been classified yet.

Captain Shenmu opened his xio terminal and saw a system prompt: The local monster database needs to be updated. Looking closely, it was more than ten GB!

"This is... the result of your work tonight?"

Takamiya nodded and stretched his slightly stiff neck. "If I upload data using a neural link, the data package will be larger."

Captain Shenmu nodded woodenly, which means you should slow down.

"Um...how do you calculate the loss of XIO's office supplies?"

"Ok?"

Amid Captain Shenmu's puzzled expression, Chonggong showed the keyboard that he had broken, which was not far from being broken in half.

"This...I'll reimburse you later."

Although he was surprised that the keyboard was almost broken into two pieces, Captain Shenmu had seen a lot of storms after all. He exchanged a keyboard for a huge amount of monster information, which was a huge profit.

As the xio team members came to the operations room one after another and completed the data update, everyone had the same expression as Captain Shenmu as they looked at the huge data packet.

After replacing a new keyboard, Chonggong started a new round of typing, but it was much easier. As for pictures, they were transferred to the cloud via the xio terminal.

But before I could type twice, the alarm came.

"what happened?"

Looking at the flashing red lights and alarm sounds around him, Takamiya frowned slightly, and then he heard Matsudo's voice.

"A monster appeared near Big Bear Mountain in the N2-M3 area. It's in Form B and is about 60 meters long."

Yamagishi quickly transferred the image information to the main screen.

On the screen, I saw a huge strange bird flying across the sky. It had a fat body and a crown on its head, but its biggest feature was the crop on both sides of its head.

"Volcano Bird Barton."

Takamiya recognized the famous bird monster in the Oh series at a glance.

"Barton?"

"Yes, you can check it in the database. I remember XIO has a record of it."

"Comparison completed, confirmed to be the volcanic bird Patton."

Yamagishi's hand speed is still as fast as ever.

"Hayato, Adu, drive the air combat Maskadi to the scene to prevent the monsters from invading. The experimental team will drive Aramis to the scene to analyze the methods to deal with the monsters."

As for Chong Gong, he just sat there and watched Patton. In the video, Patton seemed to be holding something and moving back and forth somewhere.

"What is it doing here, back and forth?"

Takamiya tilted his head, a little confused. He had almost forgotten the plot of X-X, and the one that impressed him the most was probably the sobbing Gliza.

Dr. Germann also heard the news and came. As an alien, he might have some solution.

"Maybe they're building a nest?"

Watching Patton pile up high-voltage transmission towers and various messy buildings together, Dr. German made a bold guess.

"Building a nest? You mean, it's going to lay eggs?" Chonggong asked.

"It's very likely. Lui, when we get there, scan Barton."

And the feedback data from Liu Yi later proved this point. Indeed, as a creature living in a volcano, Barton's abdominal temperature was abnormally low at this moment, and there was a large shadow.

"It seems like this, Barton is about to lay eggs. Hayato, Adu, be careful, monsters in the breeding season are very temperamental."

As soon as he finished speaking, Barton's head turned 180 degrees and spit out a mouthful of flames.

"what!"

Hayato hit the steering wheel hard, and Maskedi narrowly avoided Patton's fire.

"so close."

"This is Maskedi. We just detected that there are humans trapped in Barton's lair. They must have been trapped when Barton was collecting materials."

"Oh no, we have to rescue them immediately!" Dr. German was shocked.

"Patton eats meat."*2

"what!"

Everyone's heart sank when they heard Hermann and Takamiya's answers in unison.

"Hayato, Adu, attract the monster's attention. Experimental team, once Barton leaves the nest, prepare to rescue him immediately."

"clear."

In the air battle, Maskedi swung back and forth in front of Patton, causing him to spit fire continuously, but Maskedi nimbly avoided it. Patton, who was furious, flapped his wings and flew into the air, heading straight for Maskedi.

"Took the bait!"

After seeing Patton chasing him, Hayato stepped on the accelerator to increase the distance between him and Patton, then turned the nose of the plane and fired the Vanton photon cannon continuously, hitting Patton's body to ensure that the opponent would hold on to him tightly.

"Go save people now."

However, before Daichi and his friends could get close to Barton's nest, they heard Hayato shouting on the comms: "Be careful!"

When Dadi looked up, he saw a huge flame falling from the sky. The next moment, the three of them returned to their original place.

Daichi was stunned, looking at the unharmed body, not knowing what had happened, while Liuyi and Mikazuki also looked pale, obviously frightened.

"what happened?"

Looking at the three people who teleported, Captain Shenmu looked at Chonggong. He saw the other party's palm stretched forward, glowing slightly.

"It's quite tricky. A'du, does Maskadi have tranquilizer bullets or something like that? Give it to Patton. There's no way this guy won't come back home."

"No."

A'du shook his head directly.

Seeing this tricky situation, Dadi quietly ran to the side. Hearing Aix's urging, he took a few deep breaths, telling himself that this was not high, this was not high, and then he took a picture of the Aix terminal.

After a burst of particle special effects, Axe swooped down and knocked Patton to the ground in mid-air.

"Aix."

When everyone saw Aix appear, they felt inexplicably relieved. As they watched Aix drag Patton away, everyone immediately went up to rescue the trapped people.

When Patton saw humans approaching his nest, he screamed madly, pecked Aix with his beak, causing a large amount of sparks, and then strode towards his nest.
