Ultra: Dragon Sword Journey

"What we can confirm now is that the other party is not a lightning man, otherwise we might have to fight an all-out war with them again. This monster may be a mysterious new creature lurking in the Earth's ionosphere that we humans have not yet touched." Zhao Ming added following up on the topic of the Guhuo Bird.

Hearing this, everyone felt relieved. If Lightning Man came back again, it would really stir up a hornet's nest. The Gazot that was formed after Lightning Man absorbed electromagnetic waves has left a lingering fear in the human race.

"Then the code name for this monster is Plasma Creature—Gouhuo Bird!" Kibi Gosuke made a quick decision and gave it a resounding code name. Then, turning his gaze to Nakajima, he said solemnly, "The monster's body is composed of plasma energy. We must develop an effective weapon capable of delivering a fatal blow."

"No problem, leave it to me! The anti-plasma weapon has been installed on the Victory Condor. If the monster dares to show up again, we will be able to destroy it in one fell swoop!"

After all matters related to the Guhuo Bird were arranged, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, then quickly dispersed and returned to their respective posts to continue working.

Liang slowly walked over to the communication desk where Midorikawa Mai usually sat and sat down. As soon as she settled down, Zhao Ming quickly walked over and asked curiously, "Where's Mai? Why are you here to take over?"

When Fei Niao heard Zhao Ming's question, she interrupted unhappily, "When I came back just now, I saw Mai carrying several large and small bags. I guess she's taken leave to chase her idol again. But the strange thing is, isn't her dream lover Bingshiro still here?"

Liang grinned and explained, "You don't understand. Mai's favorite thing right now isn't Himuro, but racing. Her target has long been Aoki Haruchika! Adolescent girls are always changing like this."

Just as everyone was chatting enthusiastically, a piercing alarm suddenly sounded in the control room. Everyone's attention was instantly drawn to the screen, where a red warning light flashed, indicating that the Guhuo Bird had reappeared.

"Not good!" Seeing this, Kibi Tsunade immediately stood up and shouted solemnly, "The Guhuo Bird is heading towards the base's energy power plant. It must want to continue to absorb the electricity there. We must act immediately and not let the monster succeed!"

Before Xibi Gosuke finished speaking, he immediately issued an order: "All team members, move out immediately, and make sure to stop the monster from absorbing any more electricity!"

"Looks like this monster is quite persistent!" Asuka said, rising from his seat and stretching his stiff muscles. Everyone sprang into action. Ryouya stood up from the communications station and rushed towards the Victory Condor with Nakajima and Asuka.

Asuka expertly maneuvered the Alpha, charging ahead in the direction of the Gyuto. The Beta and Gamma followed closely behind the Alpha, not separating into separate units.

"Prepare to launch the anti-plasma weapons!" Nakajima's voice came clearly through the communicator. "Use the anti-plasma bomb to absorb the monster's energy and let this monster have a taste of our power!"

Upon hearing Nakajima's command, Liang and Asuka immediately pressed the launch button on their newly loaded anti-plasma cannons. Instantly, two dazzling blue arcs of electricity streaked through the sky, striking directly at the mid-air Gyuto, which had barely managed to land.

There was a loud "bang" as the blue arc beam hit the monster's body accurately. The bird suddenly trembled all over, and after suffering a huge impact, it let out a shrill scream.

As the anti-plasma beam continued to work, the originally gray body of the Guhuo Bird began to distort. Its body gradually became ethereal and finally disappeared completely, leaving only a ball of energy cloud disappearing in the air.

"Success!" Everyone on the communication line cheered, and Kibi Tsunade in the command room was also shocked. Unlike the excited crowd, Zhao Ming frowned as he watched this scene.

Xibi Gangzhu looked at Zhao Ming beside him and asked, "Zhao Ming, why are you still frowning? Hasn't the monster been eliminated?"

Zhao Ming said solemnly, "Captain Xibi, I always feel that things are not that simple. The Guhuo Bird turned into an energy cloud and disappeared, but satellite observations found that the plasma energy did not actually dissipate.

I suspect the Guhuo Bird was only temporarily repelled and will reappear elsewhere. Furthermore, the Guhuo Bird's appearance was so sudden that I feel like it was a card that was played out in the open.

Upon hearing this, Kibi Gosuke's expression turned serious. "You mean, the monster is using itself as bait to lure us into letting our guard down?"

Zhao Ming nodded and said, "It's very likely. We can't let our guard down just because of this victory. We need to quickly intensify patrols of various energy bases and monitor the energy fluctuations after the Guhuo Bird disappears. Perhaps we can find its next target."

Xibi Gangzhu made a quick decision, "Okay, I'll arrange for people to do it immediately. Be ready to attack again at any time!"

A moment later, everyone gathered around the conference table in the command room again. Everyone was very annoyed with the monster; it was like a ghost, and no matter what they did, they could not completely get rid of it.

Asuka lay at the conference table, complaining weakly, "Why is this monster like a ghost, it never ends!" He attacked twice in a row, and even with the body of a giant, he was almost overwhelmed.

Seeing this, Zhao Ming explained calmly, "The body of the Guhuo Bird is made of plasma energy, so it's not wrong to say it's a ghost."

Liang then added, "It's clear that the Gyuto is a highly intelligent plasma life form. We have to find a way to lure it out, otherwise we can only sit here and wait for the monster to appear on its own."

Nakajima analyzed the monster's attack on the power station and said, "The reason the Gyuto frequently attacks the power station is mainly to obtain electricity. Now that the monster knows we have the means to threaten it, it will probably be more cautious."

Zhao Ming changed his way of thinking. "Let's put ourselves in the other party's shoes. If I were Guhuo Bird, I would either not attack, or if I did, I would have to obtain sufficient power resources, and the defense of that place would not pose a threat to me."

"Currently, the only places capable of storing large amounts of electricity are the solar power plants and energy storage bases near our headquarters. These locations are under our strict surveillance, making it nearly impossible for monsters to easily gain access. Beyond that, there's only one remaining location...

Nakajima paused and quickly walked to the console to open the map. The image on the big screen quickly locked onto an old microwave power station near the bay.

Zhao Ming immediately said, "Yes, that's right! It was that solar microwave power generation project that provoked the Flash Man and made Gazot go crazy again."

Liang had a puzzled look on his face when he heard this. "But, I remember that this plan was terminated after Gazot was eliminated, right?"

Koda nodded and explained, "Although all the facilities on the ground have been removed, the superconducting coil buried underground has not been removed and remains.

And even after all the Lightning People left Earth, this power station continued to store a large amount of electricity and continued to operate. If I were Guhuo Bird, I would definitely target this place."

As soon as Xibi Gangsuke finished speaking, his eyes suddenly lit up and he continued, "That makes sense! It seems that this is very likely the next target of the Guhuo Bird. We can set up an ambush there and wait for it to fall into our trap!"

"Alright, prepare to attack immediately!" Everyone nodded in agreement. Soon, the Victory Condor was dispatched again, heading to the old microwave power station to await the appearance of the Guhuo Bird...
