Chapter 384

Inside the GUTS command room, Staff Officer Gondo and Staff Officer He Zhi had gloomy faces.

Just now, through a video conference, they personally questioned the person in charge of the Antarctic undersea base "Ice City," asking him to truthfully explain the real intention of Tsuchibashi Yu setting up this undersea base before his death.

Monitoring and investigating the Antarctic climate, using advanced facilities to regulate the water temperature of Nanjizhou, alleviating the negative impact of global warming on Nanjizhou...

They didn't believe that the Tsuchibashi Yu of the past would spend so much effort to build a base on the Antarctic seabed for a face project; there must be other uses.

But the person in charge of the Ice City base, "Jiang Zhi," said they were overthinking, this was just an ordinary scientific investigation base, and the purpose was to collect meteorological and geomagnetic data.

The two major staff officers felt there was something fishy as soon as they heard it. Just when they wanted to put pressure on the other side, the undersea base directly cut off communication, and no matter how they called, they couldn't contact it.

"This is public defiance, simply lawless!" Staff Officer He Zhi was so angry that he smashed the table.

Does this "Jiang Zhi" of the Tsuchibashi faction not see the situation clearly now? Does he not know who has the final say in TPC after Tsuchibashi Yu died?

"It seems there are even more lawless ones." Emi tapped the keyboard, called up satellite photography, and let everyone see the image of the Antarctic undersea base "Ice City."

Only the red "Antarctic Light" surrounded the sky above the Antarctic Island waters, looking beautiful.

Yamanaka: "It's Antarctic Light, so beautiful."

Kishida immediately said: "I know this, this is a special energy protective cover, this thing is very expensive, how could it appear in a scientific investigation base."

Qi Ming nodded, this seemed to be the protective cover that shrouded 【Klimos Islands】 in the episode "Southern Strait" where TPC Director Sawa was trapped in *Ultraman Tiga*.

You can't go up from above, you can only sneak in from below.

At that time, Daigo and Chief Yoshioka took the Dolphin to dive into the island through the undersea tunnel, and after Daigo destroyed the laser tower that manufactured this protective cover, the protective cover was broken.

Staff Officer Gondo heard this and felt this was rebellion!

First cut off communication with the headquarters, then release a protective cover to isolate the inside and outside. Is this trying to split one side and become king?

Must use heavy fists!

Qi Ming: "Not necessarily. In that ghostly place of Nanjizhou, actively blocking yourself, then without supplies, how do the members of that undersea base live?"

TPC, Nanjizhou, undersea base called Ice City...

The classic episode "Mobile Fortress Cannot Surface" in *Ultraman Dyna* happened here.

Perhaps the abrupt communication cut was not their intention, but the interference of external forces that occupied the Antarctic base.

For example, the aquatic life form 【Scylla】.

"We TPC shouldn't have engaged in something like an artificial sun, right?" Qi Ming asked Gondo.

This term attracted Moroboshi Dan's attention: "Artificial sun?"

Gondo: "Established a project in name, actually probably just built a folder."

Fortunately, there is no such fatal thing.

In the original series, 【Scylla】 controlled TPC's artificial sun to move from the Mars orbit toward the Antarctic direction, attempting to melt the Antarctic ice to submerge human civilization, planning to transform Earth into a planet that is completely water.

Now there is no such fatal thing as an artificial sun, just occupying a base is not a big problem.

However, the specific situation still needs to be confirmed in person.

Nagi Saijo: "The waters where the undersea base is located are very close to the waters where the continuous ship disappearance incidents occurred. The Maru was also lost there, and even the warships of the Defense Force have disappeared. What exactly is hidden there?"

Moroboshi Dan: "Let us go and find out!"

Qi Ming nodded. He looked at the Ultraman Any Key on his hand, feeling that the timing of the incident was a bit poor.

He Star Gathered the day before yesterday, and now there is no Star Gift in the watch, so he can only use Dark Tiga to meet the battle if something happens.

Qi Ming: "Captain, just open the Artedis and set out."

The more firepower, the less fear. Encountering monsters, just blast them with the "Drak Cannon" powered by the Maxima Drive System.

Yamanaka: "Opening the Artedis on Earth? This is using a cannon to hit a mosquito."

Moroboshi Dan nodded, took the GUTS members to board the Artedis, and prepared.

Kishida looked at a person sitting in a dark corner, silently listening without saying a word: "Captain, is this new member also going together?" That was Galgula.

Just the day before yesterday, under Qi Ming's instruction, TPC quickly completed all processes, and Galgula officially became a member of GUTS.

Moroboshi Dan: "Of course, only in actual combat can you better cultivate your tacit understanding and let Galgula integrate into the team quickly."

Yamanaka, wearing sunglasses, took out double guns from his pocket and said coolly: "Don't worry, I will take good care of this newcomer as a senior."

Galgula just nodded to this and didn't pick up the conversation.

Kishida didn't think so. The person Qi Ming valued was definitely not a simple person. Who takes care of whom might not be certain by then.

So he didn't put on any senior airs to Galgula and gave a polite smile: "Please give me your advice."

Galgula also returned a salute: "Please give me your advice."

Except for Moroboshi Dan sitting in the base, all members of GUTS boarded the Artedis, and the Maxima Drive System began to charge.

While waiting, Emi, who was swiping the tablet, suddenly said: "Everyone, the latest intelligence, perhaps this is the culprit of the recent ship disappearance cases."

Qi Ming was contacting Fujimiya on Line at this time. Hearing this, he immediately gathered behind her with the others.

Emi: "This was actively shared with us by the Defense Force. It is the image data sent to the headquarters by their warship cruising in Nanjizhou before losing contact."

She clicked on the video, and a metal object like "marine garbage" kept enlarging in the picture—the Defense Force's warship was constantly approaching it.

"Not good, can't get rid of the magnetic force, being sucked over!" Accompanied by a terrified shout from the captain, the next moment, the image was interrupted.

Kishida: "What is that, a ghost ship?"

Qi Ming: "It's 【Barack Ship】."

This is a monster from episode 32 of *Ultraman 80*, "Monster Ship in the Dark Sea."

In the original series, this was a ghost ship that became a ghost ship under the control of a computer system with disordered systems after a cargo ship sank after hitting an iceberg.

It attracts other ships with powerful magnetic force and combines and regenerates to become part of its body.

Because part of the hull is a warship that was absorbed, it can control the numerous missile and artillery equipment loaded on the warship to attack the enemy during battle, once suppressing Ultraman 80 in the original series.

"A monster caused by a computer running wild..." Thinking of this, Qi Ming immediately called Agamus over.

——————————

The title of chapter 376 has changed, and the content has been fine-tuned (that picture has been changed).

Now making adjustments, the Dark Tiga Star Gathered was changed from the Ultra Ancient Dark Tiga to the Dark Tiga turned into by Daigo—which also counts as letting Daigo appear in the mirror in advance.

Changing the original Tiga to Daigo Tiga can make both sides accept it.

This way, Qi Ming's subsequent bitter battle with Dark Tiga also conforms to the impression of many Tiga enthusiasts that "Daigo Tiga is relatively weak."

Finally, let's talk about the enemy roles in this fusion event of the Nonmalt ending.

The Magma Alien and its twin monsters from *Ultraman Leo*'s "When Seven Dies! The Day Tokyo Sinks!"

The Barack Ship from *Ultraman 80*'s "Monster Ship in the Dark Sea."

The biological weapons 【Decimania】 and 【Cosmic Steel Dragon Guwamu】 from *Ultraman Tiga*'s "Southern Strait" and "Sleeping Girl."

【Scylla】 and 【Reicubas】 from *Ultraman Dyna*'s "Mobile Fortress Cannot Surface."

The Light-Heat Magic Stone from *Ultraman Gaia*'s "Rescue Team Cannot Take Off."

Plus a marine monster brought by the Nonmalt, there are only ten monsters in total, very simple.

There should be two more updates today, coming in the afternoon or evening.
