Are you worthy enough to listen to what I, Shura Armor, have to say?

In short, the battle began under extremely unfavorable circumstances.

Automatic mines and tanks poured ammunition at Qiao Beli Ai day and night, and Qiao Beli Ai also moved his huge body to overturn the tanks and mines.

The battle between humans and monsters lasted for a whole day, from last night until dusk tonight. Finally, Qiao Bailie couldn't hold on any longer, and he dragged his wounded body into a ball and returned to the mountains to recuperate.

Theoretically, now should be the best time to attack. While the opponent is resting and licking his wounds, the best option is to kill him in one go.

However, this is just theory and not reality.

The reality is that while the enemy ran away, the human side had long been unable to fight again. Most of the weapons such as tanks and automatic mines had been destroyed, and most of the most important personnel had suffered serious injuries. They were all exhausted.

If Joe Belie chooses to fight to the death, then the humans can only fight to the death and choose to fight the opponent with rifles or pistols.

Therefore, Qiao Bailie's departure at this moment can be said to have left a buffer period for both parties, so that everyone will not fight their brains out so quickly.

"Ha ha..."

Ye Rui, sweating profusely, watched Qiao Bailie finally leave the battlefield. His body softened and he collapsed to the ground, his body beginning to tremble uncontrollably.

Because of the shortage of manpower, he had to rush to the front line this time as he was in the rear support position.

Originally, before he went to the battlefield, he always thought that he would be extremely brave and active on the front line fighting monsters.

However, in fact, he could hardly hold the gun when facing the monster. If he had not received professional training and was not a very brave person, he would probably have been scared to pee his pants.

But even so, as a member of the Victory Team, he did not perform as well as the other team members. Let alone turning the tide of the battle, he didn't even know whether his bullets were shot at the monster.

At the same time, the shrapnel that exploded on the battlefield and the fragments that burst out from the tanks overturned by the monsters also caused injuries of varying degrees all over his body. Now he was literally covered in bruises.

Ye Rui walked towards the makeshift first aid shed in a daze, but what he saw was an even more tragic scene. People with injuries of varying degrees were lying on makeshift hammocks, excruciatingly in pain and groaning continuously.

"This is... the real battle..."

Looking at the tragic scene in front of him, he felt some emotions suppressed in his heart, but he couldn't say it out loud.

He was just like that, dazed, being sent to the door of the nurse department in charge of minor injuries by the anxious nurses. The nurses could actually see that he was not in good condition, but no one had time to say a word of comfort to him.

Now they are snatching people from the hands of death, and they cannot miss even a minute.

The only good news on this battlefield is that no deaths have been heard so far. After all, TPC vehicles have strong life-saving functions, apart from other things, as both Dagu and Xincheng can prove.

But not everyone is a superman like the ace duo who can crash their plane for no reason, make the plane deviate and crash to the ground, dust themselves off, get up and go fight the monsters with bayonets with rifles. Most of the front-line soldiers are now in a dying state, and they may lose their lives if they hesitate for a second.

So no one has the time to take care of Ye Rui's affairs.

Everyone just tried their best to do their job well, even praying to God, a person they never believed in, and racing against time to rescue.

Including the nurse who was responsible for bandaging Nori, and Shinjo's sister, Mayumi.

Perhaps because Nori looked too young, Mayumi looked at his bruised appearance and couldn't help but say a few words: "You must take good care of your body. There are many wounds on your body that may take your life. You are alive now just because of good luck."

Hearing this, Nori, who was already under immense pressure, couldn't help himself. He stood up abruptly, staring at Mayumi fiercely like a beast ready to attack, and shouted, "I know! But we have to go even if this is the case! That's why I said that the TPCs should develop stronger and newer weapons, otherwise they won't be able to defeat the monsters!"

Looking at the suddenly excited Nori, Mayumi was not scared. People will become fragile after suddenly experiencing life and death. As a TPC nurse, she has long been accustomed to it.

"Yes, there is nothing wrong with developing weapons."

Mayumi gently comforted Nori and asked him to sit down.

Although she is not a young person herself, compared to Nori who is still a high school student, Mayumi has been working in society for one or two years. As a nurse, she has encountered more emergencies, so she is more able to keep calm at this time.

"But, can simply developing weapons solve all problems?"

"What are you talking about? Isn't the reason we're having such a hard time fighting right now because our weapons aren't strong enough?!"

"Well, that's true if we only look at the present moment." Facing Nori's question, Mayumi just nodded slightly, and then asked in return: "But why do we have to fight monsters?"

"Why... because they appeared?" Nori was a little puzzled. He didn't know why Miyumi asked such a natural question. Isn't it natural to destroy monsters when they appear?

"Then why do monsters appear?"

"This... because it... is affected by human activities..."

Ye Rui was suddenly stuck because he remembered what he had read in the information before, that Qiao Bailie seemed to be awakened and active because of human activities.

It's not just Joe Belie, there's also Lightning Man. If humans hadn't developed electromagnetic waves to make Lightning Man more violent, then there would be no need for humans to attack Lightning Man now.

And if there was no attack on the Lightning Man now, humans could easily defeat a mere Jobeli even if Tiga did not appear.

"But...but...humans didn't do anything wrong," Nori said confusedly.

It is absolutely not wrong for humans to develop electromagnetic waves for their own benefit. After letting Lightning Man go twice, it is not wrong for them to attack him when they can no longer tolerate him. Because of the appearance of Joe Belie, it is not wrong to fight to protect ordinary people.

However, everyone is clearly doing the right thing, and humans have tried their best to do everything they can, so why is this the result in the end?

"Yes, humans have done nothing wrong." Mayumi also sighed. As a nurse, she hated violence very much, but even so, she thought there was nothing wrong with humans starting this war.

Her boyfriend, Takuma, almost died in the sky due to the influence of Lightning Man. If he had not been rescued by the masked hero in the end, she couldn't even imagine how she would be alive now.

After this, how many people died or were injured because of the Lightning Man?

I'm afraid no one can count them all.

Therefore, the battle with Lightning Man is necessary and correct, as is the battle with Joe Belie.

However, this does not mean that we can just take it for granted that we should do the right thing.

"It is precisely because what we are doing is right that we should reflect on it. If neither side is wrong, then instead of developing weapons, we should be looking for ways to avoid taking up arms."

"As long as both sides take up arms, there will be sacrifices, and one of them will die." Mayumi looked at Nori and asked word by word, "Aren't you afraid of death?"

"I..." Ye Rui looked at his hands, lowered his head and walked out, not knowing what he was thinking.

At the same time, behind Mayumi, Xiangzi, who was also wrapped in bandages, sat up and thanked her: "Thank you, Miss Mayumi, for not telling anyone about my situation here."

Xiangzi has been here since the beginning, but the injuries on her body were not caused by participating in this battle, but were left from supporting TPC in the sky just now.

When in the sky, because there were too many lightning men and their mobility was too strong, Xiangzi could not completely protect everyone using the bulky iron shell form, so he chose the lighter basic form.

But everyone knows what her basic form is like. Her fighting style mainly relies on self-harm. Even the famous and upright Ao Jingjiao would call her a fellow Taoist when seeing her. It is impossible for her not to get hurt.

It would be more accurate to say that it was quite impressive that she managed to hold on for a whole day before stopping.

When she flew down, she happened to land around here, so she simply asked her old acquaintance Miss Mayumi to help bandage her.

"It's not a big deal. After all, we are already so familiar with each other."

Mayumi smiled. Xiangzi had stayed in TPC Hospital several times before. Mayumi helped take care of her every time she was hospitalized. After a few visits, they became familiar with each other.

"However, isn't Miss Xiangzi's hospitalization frequency a bit too high? And every time she is seriously injured. Is it really okay?" Mayumi looked at Xiangzi with some concern. The look of pure concern made Xiangzi a little embarrassed.

According to common sense, Xiangzi's injuries are indeed not what an ordinary girl should have. In addition, since she did not go to the first hospital but came to find her, it is understandable that Mayumi is a little suspicious.

But Xiangzi couldn't say to her, "I am the Insect Hero, Haotian is the masked hero, and both of our injuries are from our daily battles, so please don't take it too seriously."

I've told you so many times, don't destroy the masked hero's worldview!

"Well...actually, it's because I'm forming a band...a rock band." Xiangzi made a shy gesture and whispered, "This kind of injury is normal for a band, but I can't let my family know, so I came here."

“So that’s how it is”

Mayumi nodded. She could accept this statement. After all, this was the era of big girl bands, and fighting until seriously injured and on the verge of death sounded very rock and roll.

This is our rock spirit!

"But you still have to be careful, fighting is not a good thing after all."

"Yes~" Xiangzi was secretly happy, knowing that he had gotten away with it this time, so he covered the slightly painful spot and slowly stood up to leave.

But before she sneaked away, she still had something to say.

"Thank you, Mayumi-san."

"What's wrong? So sudden?" Mayumi tilted her head in confusion.

"Nothing," Xiangzi shook his head, not saying what it was. "It's just that from now on I will try to find a way that doesn't require fighting."

"Why not just tell the teacher or call the police?" Mayumi complained, "Even if you're in a band, don't be too rock 'n' roll. You'll become a bad girl."

"Yes~"

Chapter 159: Calling

In fact, Xiangzi had been thinking about this a long time ago.

Unlike Haotian, she is in adolescence and actually has rich emotional activities in her heart.

The famous girl researcher, the cosmic creature Kyubey once said that adolescent girls are the most likely to develop strong yet delicate emotions among humans.

Therefore, it is impossible for Xiangzi, who is also at this stage, to not have any ideas.

Xiangzi's life form is more like a monster, but her self-identity is that of a human. To be honest, she is actually closer to a monster than any other human being, and exists between monsters and humans.

Therefore, she once thought that if a monster appeared, she would destroy it and repeat this behavior over and over again.

She asked Haotian, and he naturally gave his usual answer - "What else?"

This answer is in line with his personality, and although it sounds cruel, Xiangzi always feels that as long as Xiaotian remains like this, it will be fine. This is his true appearance, and there is nothing to blame.

But this is the perfect answer for Haotian, but not for Xiangzi.

Xiangzi always felt that the answer he was looking for should be something deeper and of a higher level.

So she tried to ask Dagu again.

Dagu is a gentle guy. His reasons for fighting and destroying monsters are different from Haotian's. He understands that some monsters are indeed not problematic, but when necessary, he will still destroy these monsters that should be fine.

why?

"Because if we don't deal with the monsters, our streets will become a mess."

This is what Dagu replied.

In fact, he never thought of himself as a unique hero, and he never even thought that there was anything special about the identity of Ultraman Tiga. Somewhere in his heart, he might even think that he was still just a logistics member of the Transportation Department.

There is only one reason why he always stands up and resolutely destroys the monsters every time.

That is to protect everyone behind you.

It’s not that Daigu wanted to be a hero, so he became Ultraman Tiga, but when everyone needed a hero, Daigu stood up, so he is Ultraman Tiga.

Even though he knows that sometimes monsters appear because humans have done something wrong, he will still destroy the monsters.

Because he couldn't just watch innocent people die, because nothing is more important than human life.

Xiangzi really admired the other party's awareness and once thought that this was her ultimate answer. However, she still felt that something was missing.

For Da Gu, this answer is complete enough, because he is a mature adult who clearly understands the limits of his abilities. He will focus all his energy on completing what he can do and will not be greedy for more.

But for Xiangzi, it still doesn't work.

Because Xiangzi is not an adult yet, no matter how precocious she looks, she still retains a childish innocence in her heart, and children always want everything.

Between saving human life and figuring out right and wrong, Dagu chose the former without hesitation, but Xiangzi was still thinking about taking the latter into his hands.

Therefore, for Xiangzi, after listening to Mayumi's words, the answer she got now is what she really wants.

She wanted to find a way to achieve peace without fighting, to allow the good monsters to survive and only destroy the violent monsters.

This is not an easy task. In practice, she hasn't even figured out how to take the first step of distinguishing good from bad monsters. However, Xiangzi is not afraid.

Because everything starts with setting a goal. Without the initial goal, there is nothing.

For now, just do what you can do now.

Thinking of this, Xiangzi looked up at the sky, and then said apologetically to the emergency hospital behind him: "I'm sorry, Sister Mayumi, I just said some very cool words to you, but now I have to go to fight again."

"But..." Xiangzi slowly exhaled, and the belt emerged: "I will never give up. One day I will find a way to do it without fighting. But before that, I must protect the people I can protect."

"I, reproduce!"

Xiangzi's body suddenly grew larger, but because the optical camouflage was turned on, even such a large body was not discovered by others.

The monster Xiaoxiang flapped its broken wings slightly and flew straight into the distant sky.

At the same time, as if sensing something, Qiao Beli Ai suddenly climbed out of the mountains while still covered in wounds, and rushed towards the distant city regardless of anything.

"This guy suddenly woke up, why!?"

Commander Munakata, who was closely watching the movements of the monsters in the temporary base camp, stood up suddenly when he saw Qiao Bailie suddenly moving on the screen.
