It seems Earth is doomed.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shan Zhong: “Don’t worry about that. Even if Maria No. 1 is destroyed, we still have the blueprints.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Within six days, we can build Maria No. 2 to complete Earth’s salvation.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Maya”: “Really? Are the Maria No. 2 blueprints secure?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shan Zhong: “Of course. They’re stored in the Weapons Development Department’s vault. Even aliens can’t enter TAC Base.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Maya” smiled: “Yes, you’re absolutely right.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the time, Qi Ming found it odd—why would you reveal the exact location like that?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, the Metron alien went and destroyed the blueprints; on its way back, Beidou shot it in the right arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though the Metron alien immediately fled back to the hospital and resumed Maya’s form, alert Beidou deduced her true identity from the wound on her hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Beidou was about to shoot and kill the Metron alien, Shan Zhong appeared and fired at Beidou first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then came the most insane dialogue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beidou: “Soldier Shan Zhong, she’s not Maya—she’s the Metron alien in disguise!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shan Zhong: “Maya is a Metron alien? Are you insane?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beidou: “I’m not lying. The wound on her wrist matches the one from the bullet that hit the Metron alien. Please believe me!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, any normal person would’ve doubted something was wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Metron alien possessing Maya also looked guilty, sensing she was about to be exposed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after examining Maya’s wound, Shan Zhong erupted: “Beidou, why did you hurt Maya? Why did you kill my fiancée!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beidou: “Soldier Shan Zhong, Maya was killed by the Metron alien!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn it!” Shan Zhong roared, landing a brutal straight punch on Beidou’s face and knocking him down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Young Qi Ming thought at the time that Shan Zhong must’ve had Down syndrome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Later, while Ace and the TAC team were fighting the supermonster, the Metron alien slipped in and destroyed the base.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the team returned and saw this, even more absurd dialogue followed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Iino (Bread): “What the hell happened? Who did this?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beidou: “I know who did it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shan Zhong: “I know what Beidou wants to say—he thinks Maya is the Metron alien.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yoshimura: “Beidou, that’s not true.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beidou: “Yes, it’s true—Maya is the Metron alien!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mikawa Noriko: “You can’t say that. Maya is Shan Zhong’s fiancée!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Iino (Bread): “Beidou, that’s not funny.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yoshimura: “Beidou, you should apologize to Shan Zhong!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Young Qi Ming changed his view right then—not just Shan Zhong, the entire TAC team was full of Down syndrome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, Beidou could only reluctantly admit he was wrong and apologized to Shan Zhong to calm everyone down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Young Qi Ming felt suffocated watching this—he wanted to crawl into the screen and punch Shan Zhong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afterward, after learning about Maria No. 2 from Shan Zhong, “Maya” said she wanted to see it in person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shan Zhong: “No way. Only TAC team members can enter there now. If Maria No. 2 is destroyed, it’s the end of Earth.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Maya threw a tantrum, even saying, “You should kill Beidou for me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shan Zhong now sensed something was off—but when Maya said, “You should trust me—then take me to see Maria No. 2,” he still agreed…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, the guard Beidou actually tried to empathize with Shan Zhong, saying it was only natural for him to be angry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ugh… why isn’t Beidou my teammate?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After briefly replaying the episode in his mind, Qi Ming, seated in the Victory Team command room, stood up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gestured for Shan Zhong to come over, then studied his face closely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shan Zhong beamed: “Soldier Qi Ming, you’ve finally agreed to read my fortune? What’s my future luck? How will my career develop?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Ming’s expression was calm: “In the next few days, my fist might land on your face.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I suggest you buy medical insurance in advance—so if I lose control and give you a concussion, you’ll save some money.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, Qi Ming left, leaving Shan Zhong frozen in place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What… what does that mean? I haven’t offended him lately!” Shan Zhong turned to those around him after snapping out of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Megumi whispered: “Hard to say.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kishida cleared his throat: “Soldier Shan Zhong, while your intentions aren’t bad, sometimes your words are just… unpleasant.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Shan Zhong couldn’t help but reflect—had he said something wrong again…?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nami Nishijo wasn’t interested in this. She cared only about the demonic star Kola, which might destroy Earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, Counselor Kento and Counselor He Zhi convened a major meeting, with all Victory Team members present.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Ming learned then that TPC currently had no “planet-destroying” weapons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We once had ‘Superweapon R1,’ but development was halted due to special circumstances…” Here, Counselor He Zhi’s expression darkened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Counselor He Zhi!” Zhu Xingtuan’s expression turned grim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The earlier launch of “Superweapon R1” had destroyed Kielon Star, prompting the Kielon Star Beast to seek revenge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afterwards, Zhu Xingtuan loudly proclaimed, “Humans aren’t stupid creatures who run marathons while bleeding,” which led to the cancellation of “Superweapon R1” and blocked further development of the stronger “Superweapon R2.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Counselor Kento cleared his throat, urging everyone not to panic, saying the situation wasn’t as bad as imagined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“After calculating celestial trajectories, America’s TLT has decided to transfer to us a super-missile capable of destroying the demonic star Kola, to be launched from Japan,” he said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>TLT’s technology comes from the “Visitors,” who have extensive experience in planet destruction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, their own home was blown to bits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Counselor Kento methodically outlined precautions and the list of personnel assigned to this operation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Shan Zhong heard his fiancée Maya would handle communications, he couldn’t help smiling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This development…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Ming thought for a moment, then raised his hand:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There may be aliens seeking to destroy Earth who’ll use this chance to sabotage the missile and let Kola collide with the planet.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I suggest we set up a ‘decoy tomb’ to lure them out.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>————————————\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First day of subscription—please support us!
