Izumaru's travel notes

One day, it was an ordinary day at the Xio base.

"Hmm? Where's Takamiya-san?"

Today, after checking the monster information, Daichi found some problems. He wanted to consult Chonggong, but found that Chonggong did not appear at his location.

"He went to the UNVER headquarters today to participate in weapons experiments." Captain Shenmu took a sip of coffee. Hmm, it was a little hot.

"Weapons experiment?" Dadi looked at Captain Shenmu, somewhat puzzled.

"Well, according to what you said above, we need to develop more powerful weapons to deal with the various monsters that will appear later. After all, not all monsters need to be turned into shining dolls. Monsters like Gargolgon, who have a lot of blood debts and no mercy, must be eliminated. But our firepower, as you have seen, is of no use to some monsters, so..."

Da nodded, understanding what Captain Shenmu meant.

"Yes, this is the xio Japanese branch. OK, wait a moment." Matsudo hung up the call and said to Captain Shenmu:

"Captain, the Space Biology Research Institute sent a message for help."

"Help?"

...

"That's right. Because of that strange meteorite, the oxygen content in the institute is now too high. With the equipment we have, we can't get in at all."

Outside the research institute, a researcher who had just run out said with a red face and panting.

"The oxygen level is too high?"

When A'Du first heard about this, he was a little surprised. He had only heard of excessive carbon dioxide content, but what about excessive oxygen content?

"Literally. Right now...right now the oxygen level in the institute has reached 70 percent, and is still rising slowly."

"Hayato Adu, put on your protective gear and go in to rescue them."

Captain Shenmu gave the order in the operations room, and Vice Captain Ju added: "In order to avoid the lungs from inhaling a large amount of oxygen, try to breathe repeatedly after entering."

"Yes."

"Daichi, you and Asuna should also put on protective equipment and go in to find a source of oxygen."

"It's a meteorite."

The researcher added.

"Meteorite?" Dadi looked at the other party curiously.

"Yes, a meteorite. It was a meteorite recovered from Antarctica. We detected life-like reactions in it..."

While Daichi was still trying to understand the situation, Hayato, Adu and a group of rescuers had already rushed into the institute and rescued the trapped people one by one. They were all very weak, had difficulty breathing, and had a high fever.

"Quick, send to the hospital."

Ambulances took the wounded away one by one and sent them to the nearest medical center. After understanding the situation, Dadi put on protective equipment and walked into the research institute.

"Tap, tap, tap."

The crisp sound of footsteps echoed in the silent corridor. Although they were told that the meteorite did not show any aggressiveness, Daichi and Asuna were still very wary and walked cautiously in the cold corridor.

"Crack!"

There was a sudden crisp sound from the soles of Dadi's shoes, which was very harsh in the empty corridor.

Dadi's pupils shrank instantly and he looked cautiously at his feet. There was a broken test tube.

"call…"

Daichi heaved a sigh of relief and continued to move deeper into the research institute despite Asuna's cold stare.

As we went deeper, we found more and more debris on the ground, including broken test tubes, spilled reagents, various documents and reports, and even a pair of leather shoes. It was clear how chaotic the scene was at that time.

The true appearance of the meteorite was revealed after the earth opened a door.

"That's a meteorite?"

Looking at the meteorite that looked like coral lying quietly on the experimental table, Daichi and Asuna looked at each other, put on very thick protective gloves, walked over carefully, pushed open the isolation door, and Daichi gently picked up the meteorite, put it in the storage box that Asuna opened, sealed it, and confirmed that it was correct. Then he breathed a sigh of relief and turned around to evacuate.

"Earth!"

Aix suddenly shouted, and Dadi turned around abruptly, looked around, but didn't see anything.

"What's wrong, Axe?"

Dadi looked around cautiously.

"…Strange, I clearly felt the heat source just now, but it's gone now."

The digitized Aix was also puzzled. This shouldn't happen.

"What's wrong, Dadi?"

Seeing Daichi suddenly look back, Asuna also drew her gun instantly, thinking that Daichi had discovered something, but she found nothing either.

"…It's okay. Maybe I'm just overthinking it."

Dadi shook his head, and Aix didn't find anything else, and the two of them carried the box and left the institute.

But little did they know that not long after they left, a bug the size of an adult's palm crawled out of the ventilation duct, staring at the direction they left with bloodshot eyes, and then flew over...

"Live?"

After bringing the meteorite back to the xio base, Dadi and his team scanned the meteorite and confirmed that it had life-like reactions. Through analysis of the meteorite samples, they also concluded that the cause of oxygen poisoning came from this meteorite.

"A life-like organism that can produce oxygen..."

Captain Shenmu thought about it and decided to temporarily seal the meteorite and hand it over after the Space Biology Research Institute resumed normal functions. Although the XIO branch also has research capabilities, there are too many flash dolls here and no mistakes can be tolerated.

"Matsudo, are there any results from the comparison of meteorite data?"

In response to the captain's question, Matsudo shook his head: "No similar monster information was found."

That's right, ever since Chonggong expanded the database, now when faced with any strange life form, they will check the data first. If it is a dangerous creature, they will immediately carry out special sealing or eliminate it on the spot depending on the situation to reduce errors.

“…Yamagishi, contact Takamiya and ask him if he knows the origin of this meteorite.”

"it is good."

But the reply Yamagishi received was that Takamiya was conducting weapons experiments and could not get away for the time being, and they would convey any message on his behalf.

"Is that so... Then let's send the meteorite photo to Chonggong's xio terminal and ask him to reply to us when he is free."

"clear."

In the blink of an eye, it was late at night. Outside the base, a security team completed the routine handover in the second half of the night and began their last three hours of duty.

"Ha~ah. It's getting hot, and it's getting troublesome to be on duty. Bang, those annoying mosquitoes."

A security guard on duty slapped a bloody mosquito to death with a slap, and was very annoyed.

"It's always like this in the summer. It's already the second half of the night. If we wait a little longer, it will be dawn."

"Buzz..."

But I don’t know why, there are so many mosquitoes tonight, and the buzzing sound is constant.

"Wait a minute, I'll go find some mosquito repellent."

Soon, the mosquitoes were driven away by the non-toxic and harmless mosquito repellent developed by Dr. German. However, a "big bug" sneaked into the Xio base and bit the sealed box containing the meteorite, causing a pool of sticky liquid to flow out of it.
