Global Weirdness: People Survive in Ultra

"Dagu, why do these residents look at us like this?"

Lopus walked at the end, feeling puzzled. The atmosphere in the air was so heavy that even his mechanical body felt heavy.

But Lopes couldn't find the words to accurately describe this heaviness.

"Is this mourning? What are they mourning?"

Da Gu also felt something, and he subconsciously caught the gazes of these survivors. Those blue or brown pupils finally converged on Jian Tai.

"Captain Sato, where exactly are we going?"

Dagu couldn't help but ask.

"It's almost there, you'll know when it gets there." Sato said in a heavy voice.

They walked like this for half an hour.

I was also immersed in this mourning atmosphere for nearly half an hour.

They finally arrived at the rear of the shelter, where there was a lush tree with emerald green leaves swaying, like the last flag in this dark wasteland.

Dagu and Lopus saw many stone tablets.

Big and small, some with words, some without names.

These tombstones stand under the big tree, there are about twenty or thirty of them, and some of them even have traces of worship in front of them.

Sato let go of Mata's hand, and the latter stumbled to the tree and grabbed a shovel from the gap under the roots.

It was as if a lord was sizing up his own fiefdom, and his tone was surprisingly smug: "Uncle, what kind of position do you think I should choose?"

"I just like to lie down because I don't have anything to eat and I don't have the energy when I'm hungry." Jian Tai held up the shovel. "I need to find a piece of flat, soft land."

Sato didn't reply.

Dagu rushed forward and snatched the shovel from Jiantai's hand: "What are you talking about!"

He asked Captain Sato, "What does this mean, Captain Sato?"

Sato glanced at the tombstones and said, "These are the tombstones of all the Nexus acclimated people from this parallel world."

"In this world, there are actually no Ultramen, so humans are completely defenseless against the encroachment of darkness," Captain Sato explained. "But when the black fog surged towards the city, someone gained light."

"But this is a disaster that is enough to destroy the world. Even if you gain the power of Ultraman, the power of one person is too small."

"Before they received the light, most of them were just ordinary people. Fighting was too strenuous for them," Sato said sadly. "Nexus's transformation comes at the cost of the vitality of the fittest."

Apparently, he understood something, and his grip on the shovel was a little unstable. He looked at the graves in disbelief.

"Did all these people die in battle?"

Lopus, however, had clearly figured it all out: "To be precise, he probably died of exhaustion, right?"

Sato was slightly surprised, but this surprise was quickly drowned out by sadness: "Indeed, even an Ultraman would be exhausted to death by such frequent and bizarre invasions."

"Old wounds haven't healed yet, and we're going back into battle."

“As soon as the dead fall, the light will be passed on to the next person, continuing the meaning.”

Sato pointed at the low tombstones and said, "Don't be fooled by their humble appearance. Let me tell you something—those lying here are heroes who protected the world."

Dagu murmured to himself: "Generation after generation?"

"Won't they... be afraid?"

Dagu thought of himself. Even when facing the enemy, he would be confused and hesitant.

After all, apart from his identity as Ultraman, he is also a human being.

Lopus said to Dagu, "How could someone chosen by someone who trusts evolution hesitate?"

Daigu laughed at himself, then looked at the young man - Jiantai.

Jiantai smiled back, "I will also fight to the last moment like these seniors."

Dagu felt helpless. He slammed the shovel into the ground beneath his feet. "Is this, is this how Noah stopped the strange wave?"

Dagu was a little annoyed. In his opinion, Noah's actions were a bit extreme. "Isn't he the God of Ultra you are talking about? Is this how God squanders human lives?"

"If he is so powerful that he can spread light to countless parallel worlds, why would he need to rely on human power to fight?"

Lopus stepped forward and held Dagu's shoulders.

The latter's mood calmed down a little, but his chest was still heaving with anger.

Jian Tai suddenly asked, "Is the giant who transmits light called Noah?"

The three of them were attracted by the childish voice and turned to look at him.

Mata clasped his hands together and said, "Actually, I really want to thank Him for giving me the ability to protect the people who are important to me."

"Noah must be the most merciful Ultraman."

The crowd was speechless.

Lopus patted Dagu's shoulder and said, "Actually, we can do something about it."

"As long as we take over Jiantai's responsibility to protect the city, he will have plenty of time to rest." Lopus said, "As long as we hold on until others find a way to deal with the strange wave, Jiantai will not die."

Jian Tai looked at them doubtfully: "Can you do this?"

Sato also said: "You two, I know you are very strong, but under the strange wave, monsters attack the city almost every day."

"Before defeating that monster, Jiantai had actually fought two waves of enemies in succession."

Da Gu suddenly realized that it was no wonder that he felt Jian Tai's battle was so difficult at that time.

"It's okay, Captain Sato. Although you already know that we are strong, it's clear that you don't know enough."

Dagu stood up, his mood suddenly brightening. He rubbed Jiantai's head and said, "We'll be guarding the city for you, so just take a rest, little brat!"

Snapped!

The shovel was thrown back to the bottom of the tree by Dagu.

Sato and Mata returned to the research institute in the city center, while Daigo and Lopes, who had just taken over the task of defending the city, took another route and returned directly to the city wall.

There are also some survivors living on the city walls, most of them serving as scouts.

As a new fit person, Jian Tai originally lived on the city wall, so there was a house built specifically for him on the wall.

It was a simple hut made of broken bricks, with a rag covering the door to keep out the dust.

The scouts who received the communication led them into the house in silence.

Someone said, "I hope you are not acting on impulse. If the city is captured, everyone will die."

After saying this, the scout who led the way left the hut.

Dagu and Lopus looked at each other, and the former hesitated and said, "Does this mean... you don't trust us?"

"Defending the city is a big deal, after all," Lopus said. "Although we don't have the same heart shape as those Ultra Warriors, since we are all Ultra Warriors, we are not afraid of death."

The two chatted while cleaning the house inside and out.

During this time, Dr. German sent news that in other parallel worlds, Minami Yuko, Zoffy and others also encountered many members of the defense team while exploring.

Da Gu looked at the photos sent to him and even saw Horii again.

“This is a really big deal!”

The doctor exclaimed in admiration, talking eloquently: "It's actually possible to capture people freely between parallel worlds and imprison them all. This being is truly incredibly powerful!"

"As for why it escaped, I really don't understand." Dr. German scratched his head. "Logically speaking, such an accident shouldn't happen to a being like this!"

"Unless there's something wrong with him."

During the communication, Nan Xizi suddenly sent a message.

This communicator is similar to a chat group, and they can communicate with each other.

Fujimiya Hiroya: [I've made a discovery. The defense team members who escaped said that when they escaped, they saw a dark shadow in the sealed space.]

From his description, that black shadow seems to be the Supreme Darkness!

Nan Xizi: [To spread the strange tide, the Supreme Darkness must be involved. It's not surprising to see the Supreme Darkness.]

Fujimiya Hiroya: [No, no, no, what I mean is that he felt as if he was released by the Supreme Darkness.]

The rest:? ? ?

Fujimiya's words made everyone's thoughts pause.

Meng Yao remembered the evil god Grimd whom he met beside the Supreme Darkness in the Moon Sanctuary.

At that time, Grimd seemed to have been completely conquered by the Supreme Darkness.

"What is this, an internal fight?"

Meng Yao suddenly felt that things seemed to be very lively on the villain's side as well.

But he soon noticed a detail - everyone admitted that they had encountered Nexus's adaptable people in the parallel world they were responsible for.

Whether it is a fallen or half-fallen world, as long as there are still living beings, they will almost all be chosen by the light and become the fittest of Nexus.

Moroboshi even encountered alien beings who became adaptive beings.

But in the mobile world, there seems to be no trace of the adaptive ones.

It is still those Mobile Ultramen who guard this world.

"How strange! As the most central and largest parallel universe, how could Noah not project his power?"

Meng Yao was bored and scrolling through the messages on his communicator, but his mind was instinctively thinking about this matter.

clang-

Suddenly, there was a noise in the corridor outside the house.

The sound interrupted Meng Yao's thoughts. He stood up from the bed and walked to the door. "Who's outside?"

No one would come to the room that Yi Chu arranged for them.

That's why he asked this question cautiously.

[Meng Yao, something seems to be happening outside.] Dadi warned, [There are... abnormal fluctuations of dark energy.]

dark?

Meng Yao pondered for a moment, quietly placed his hand on the door handle, and slowly pushed the door open a crack.

He glanced over and saw only a knocked-over trash can in the corridor and a figure staggering and disappearing at the end of the passage.

Seeing that the other party wanted to escape, Meng Yao pushed the door open and walked out. Unexpectedly, the door opposite also opened at this time, and Catherine rushed out from inside.

The two people bumped into each other and both fell to the ground with a cry.

"Catherine, did you hear it too?" Meng Yao asked, rubbing his shoulders.

Catherine smoothed back her messy blonde hair and said unhappily, "I wasn't asleep, how could I not have heard it?"

"Don't worry about it, let's chase it."

The two of them stood up and quickly chased after the figure who had disappeared.

Catherine chased after him and asked, "Could this person be sent by Team Kurt to monitor us? After all, to them, we are always outsiders, and we possess power they cannot resist."

"That's not the case. They shouldn't suspect the Ultra Warriors." Meng Yao replied, "Besides, Dadi just told me that he sensed the breath of darkness."

Having said that, Meng Yao also felt strange.

After all, there are protective walls outside the city, so the black fog should not be able to invade the city.

What's more, the other party was eavesdropping outside the corridor so brazenly. Could it be that the surveillance cameras of the Kurt team were just for decoration?

The two chased all the way and finally saw the man's back from a distance.

But at this moment, two big hands suddenly reached out from the corner, grabbed the collars of the two men and pulled them into the corner.

"Shh, it's me."

The person who spoke was Zhu Xingdan, who was also the one who brought Meng Yao and the others in. Standing next to Zhu Xingdan was a girl named Lingna who was wearing a pleated skirt.

Zhu Xingdan rolled his eyes and said calmly, "Mr. Meng Yao and Miss Catherine, the noise you two made is really too loud."

"There's no way we can keep track of that guy at this rate."

"track?"

Meng Yao looked at the two of them and asked, "So you've been following that guy? Where did he come from? Why did he appear outside Catherine and I's room so late at night?"

"We've been following this guy the whole time," Reina said. "After all, this is Team Kurt's base. How could we not have spotted him?"

"As for where I came from..." Reina paused and didn't say anything else.

Zhu Xingdan said calmly: "This person should also be infected with the fog disease."

Meng Yao couldn't believe it: Fog disease, isn't it true that related symptoms will only occur when exposed to black fog?

But this is Team Kurt’s base!

"Are you sure? You're not kidding me?" Meng Yao asked back, "If there's no black fog, where does the foggy fog come from?"

"Don't tell me the black fog has spread into the city."

Lingna said hurriedly: "That's why we have to follow, we don't know anything about this."

"We really want to find out how this person got infected with the fog disease." Reina recalled, "This person is a researcher at the base. It is impossible for him to be exposed to the fog disease, but tonight he just..."

At this point, Reina could only sigh.

Zhu Xingdan said: "Actually, there is one thing that the higher-ups have concealed from you."

Hearing Zhu Xingdan's deliberate change of tone, the three of them turned to him at the same time, and heard Zhu Xingdan say coldly: "In fact, that Wu Ji has appeared in the city a long time ago. Many of the recent missing persons cases are related to him."

"Hidden? Why did your top management hide it?"

Catherine was surprised by the actions of the so-called senior management mentioned by Zhu Xingdan: "Is it because they are afraid of causing panic?"

“There are indeed considerations in this regard.”

Moroboshi Dan suddenly looked at Reina beside him, his glasses reflecting a cold light: "Actually... many people suspect that Jiro's disappearance is due to infection with the fog disease."
