Ultra: Dragon Sword Journey
Chapter 525: TPC Base Shrouded in Scorching Heat
The breath of winter quickly filled the air, shrouding the entire world in a chill. The scene outside had completely transformed into a kingdom of ice and snow.
The trees seemed to be bent under the weight of the heavy snow, and the ground was covered with a thick layer of white snow, giving people a sense of tranquility and solemnity. However, under this seemingly calm appearance, the cold permeated every corner.
Just a few days ago, a sudden and bizarre earthquake shattered the tranquility of this world of ice and snow. Following the quake, the TPC headquarters base was plunged into an abyss of scorching heat, a stark contrast to the chill outside.
The temperature inside the base soared, as if it had been thrown into a blazing furnace. Even the sturdy steel structures buried underground were now scorching, burning to the point where even the slightest touch caused a burning pain.
The staff in the headquarters were miserable. Their sweat kept rolling down their uniforms, which had already been soaked with sweat and stuck tightly to their bodies, making them feel extremely stuffy and uncomfortable.
Furthermore, the electronic equipment on the lower floors of the base malfunctioned due to the high temperatures and had to be shut down. The constant blaring of alarms and the flashing red warning lights only made people more irritated.
Although the air conditioning system was running at full capacity, it still seemed powerless in the face of such abnormally high temperatures and could hardly withstand the invasion of this scorching heat.
When Zhao Ming and Camilla returned to the base after their vacation, they immediately noticed the scorching heat. However, for these two, with their profound supernatural powers and long-standing immunity to cold and heat, this was a piece of cake!
When they arrived at their office, they found that it was crowded with people from the Super Victory Team. Except for Liang, who was a permanent member stationed here, Asuka, Mai, Nakajima, and Koda were all gathered here.
"Hey, what are you doing? Why are you crowding in here instead of guarding your command room?" Zhao Ming asked with a puzzled look on his face as he saw a bunch of people standing in his office.
Koda frantically replied, "Boss, we're all dying of heat! Besides the Black Storm's open-air training grounds, your office is the coolest place in the entire TPC headquarters!"
"Yes, senior! Our captain was sweating profusely but he still told us that if we stay calm we will feel better. He actually asked us to wear tight uniforms and maintain our appearance in the 36.5-degree command room environment. We really have no choice but to hide here with you." Mai sat on Zhao Ming's chair, blinking her big, KISS ME eyes and acting cute.
Fei Niao's expression was also very puzzled. He muttered, "I don't know what's going on. It's freezing outside in winter, why is this base so hot?"
"Why didn't I see that guy Kariya?" Liang asked.
Koda complained unhappily, "He rushed off to patrol in his Seret so early in the morning, and he ran away faster than a rabbit."
"Thanks to this wonderful place where it's spring all year round, we can enjoy a moment of coolness. Otherwise, we would have to wear cotton clothes and go to the open-air training ground with everyone else to blow the biting cold wind." Nakajima said contentedly while drinking Happy Fatty Water.
After listening to this, Zhao Ming smiled and looked at everyone, "Well, then, I'll take you in and let you cool down here." As a high-level wizard who practices both magic and martial arts, he naturally maintains a comfortable feeling of spring all year round, whether it is himself, his home, or the place where he lives.
Just as everyone was enjoying the coolness of Zhao Ming's office, Xibi Gangzhu followed the location of their communicator and came over. When he entered the police station area, the scorching heat instantly disappeared.
At this moment, Kibi Gosuke no longer cared about his anxious heart. After cooling down for a while, he walked all the way to the door of Zhao Ming's office. He heard his teammates' continuous complaints about him from inside.
"Haha... the captain really made me laugh to death. He was obviously sweating profusely and fanning himself with his hands, but he actually told us to stay calm and feel better!" This was said by Fei Niao.
"That's right... The captain is simply an old stubborn person who doesn't know how to adapt. In this situation, he has to keep himself cool before he can do his job. He's almost getting heatstroke, how can he keep his appearance and clothes neat?" It was obvious that these words were said by Mai. It was she who had treated the command room as a seaside resort and was scolded by Kihi Gosuke.
"It's still comfortable here! Unlike the command room, even the water from the tap is scalding hot, it's almost fatal." Nakajima and Koda felt as comfortable as if they were in a paradise. They clinked glasses with Fatty's water and drank it every meal.
Kihiko's face turned red instantly and he felt angry and annoyed. He was so concerned about the image and discipline of the Super Victory Team, but he didn't expect that others didn't understand him at all.
"Idiot!" He flung the door open and glared at everyone. The team members were startled by the sudden sound of the door opening, and when they saw that it was the captain, they all lowered their heads.
"You are all having fun here. What if something unusual happens in the command room? The abnormal situation in the base has not been figured out yet, but you are only concerned about your own comfort!" Kibi Tsunade scolded loudly.
Zhao Ming quickly stepped out to smooth things over: "Captain Xibi, everyone is exhausted from the heat. Come to my place to cool down. We'll be back soon."
Kibi Kosuke's anger subsided slightly, but his expression remained stern. He said solemnly, "Everyone, follow me back. Now is not the time to be complacent. We must work together to find a solution to the high temperature problem at the base."
"I think we should just talk about it here! If there's anything you can't handle, I can notify Xincheng and the others to come and help. Team member Nakajima, first, tell me what you discovered during your previous investigation?"
"Yes, Boss. The thing is, there's a monster lurking near the heat exhaust vents on the underground pillar foundation supporting the TPC headquarters!"
Mai then added, "So, the earthquake three days ago caused the earth's crust to shift, and that's what caused the monster to lose its way?"
"We have seen many monsters, but what does this have to do with the scorching heat in the base?" Kibi Tsunade asked immediately.
"As for this... according to the computer calculations, there are 256 possibilities, and the most likely one is that the monster's body temperature is as high as 2500 degrees!" Nakajima continued to explain.
"What, 2500 degrees high temperature...you are kidding!!" Asuka and Mai exclaimed in unison.
Liang said suspiciously, "No wonder the air conditioning system at the base is just as good as not being on. I might as well wear a cotton jacket and go to the open-air training ground to get some fresh air."
"This is unbelievable! Although it is the result calculated by computer, the monster's body temperature is too high!" Nakajima muttered to himself with disbelief written all over his face.
Camilla reminded them, "Everyone, don't forget that the word 'monster' doesn't just refer to large creatures, but monsters that transcend scientific common sense!"
"That makes sense, it makes so much sense..." Everyone nodded in agreement, secretly feeling lucky that it wasn't a monster like the golden dragon that possessed the ability of time and space.
Zhao Ming looked at Nakajima and asked, "So, what's the specific battle plan? The buildings and wiring on the base ground floor might be affected by the intense heat for such a long time."
"Now, what we need to do is to cool down the monster's huge body and then lure it away from the base."
"Okay, drive the Victory Tunnel Boring Machine towards the monster! Then attack with cooling bombs!" Kibi Gosuke immediately waved his hand and gave the order.
Nakajima immediately objected, "Captain, this method won't work! The Victory Tunnel Boring Machine's hangar is located twenty floors underground and was sealed off an hour ago due to excessive temperatures. Even the elevators can't go down due to overheating. We're at our wit's end and have come here to take shelter."
"Take a look at the latest report we just received. The metal twenty floors underground in the base can already be used to fry eggs!" Zhao Ming said as he projected the base personnel's test video onto the big screen.
Everyone looked closely and saw an egg, freshly cracked onto a metal plate, ripe in a matter of moments. The atmosphere suddenly grew tense, and everyone knew the situation was far more complex than they had imagined...
