Chapter 53 Horii: Hungry again?
Upon receiving the news, Lin Yeming rushed to headquarters.
I'm listening to Daigo's report right now.
"A monster has appeared at Metro Zoo."
"What's strange is that the monster fell asleep as soon as it appeared."
"Strange noises could be heard coming from the monster while it was asleep."
Lin Yeming frowned as he listened to their reports.
He couldn't quite remember the plot.
However, some related work can be done in advance.
Lin Yeming looked at Ju Jianhui and suggested, "Captain, let the Victory Team go first."
"Evacuating nearby residents first is definitely not a problem."
Kijima nodded, signaling to Munekazu to muster the troops.
"Horie will drive the Drum vehicle to provide support, while I will drive the Victory Flying Swallow II alone. Yoru, you can stay at the base and provide support for us."
Zongfang looked at the crowd and assigned his soldiers.
"clear."
Everyone nodded in agreement, and Zongfang turned to look at Jujian Hui.
Kijima nodded, and Munakata immediately gave the order.
"Set off."
The Victory Team members drove their vehicle towards Metro Zoo.
As for the new city, everyone tacitly avoided mentioning it.
Lin Yeming pulled out a chair and sat down next to Ye Rui, saying with a serious expression, "Ye Rui, could you remotely analyze the monster's body structure? I have a feeling that this monster is somewhat unusual, and I also need your help to confirm that strange sound."
Ye Rui quickly started working on the computer, and after a moment nodded: "No problem, the general skeletal structure of the monster has been scanned. However..." He carefully examined the image on the screen, "Why does this monster look a bit like a rat?"
Hearing this, Megumi also came over and carefully looked at the image on the screen, her brows furrowing: "It really does look very similar. Let's compare it with a mouse skeleton first."
"Yes!" Ye Rui readily agreed.
Lin Yeming then turned to look at Ju Jianhui, and said with a serious expression, "Captain, I feel that this monster is mutated again."
“Yes.” Megumi nodded. “I know, but for now we can only focus on the evacuation. We’ll wait for Munakata and the others to arrive at the scene and assess the situation before making any decisions.”
"This is the only way," Lin Yeming sighed.
He can only hope that things don't get worse.
He recognized it after seeing the photos from the scene.
This is a monster mutated from a rat.
Meanwhile, Munakata and Horii had already arrived at the scene.
Looking at the monster lying fast asleep in the zoo, Munakata's expression turned solemn.
"Is this the monster?"
Munakata looked at Daigo and Rena in front of him and asked.
"That's right, the monster appeared suddenly and then went into a deep sleep."
"However, nearby residents and tourists have been evacuated."
"Now there's only one person left who I can't persuade to leave."
Daigo pointed to an old man not far away and said.
Upon hearing this, Zong Fang turned his head and frowned slightly.
"You and Lina go change your clothes first, I'll go and persuade him to leave."
"Yes."
Daigo and Rena exchanged a glance and went to the car to change their clothes.
Horii got out of the car and gave the two of them a strange look. He picked up his communicator and said, "Headquarters, we have arrived at the scene."
"That strange sound seemed to be coming from the monster's belly."
"What do you think that sound is?" asked Megumi Kijima.
Lina, now in her team uniform, leaned closer and said, "It sounds a bit like the rumbling sound a stomach makes when it's hungry?"
When Horii heard this, his heart skipped a beat, and a bad premonition welled up in his heart.
After listening to it once, Horii asked in confusion, "Isn't that a sound like someone having an upset stomach?"
Lin Yeming glanced at Horii and found it somewhat amusing.
Was this guy scared by Gazort?
He analyzed, "This possibility cannot be ruled out. The two voices are very similar, and the monster's physiological structure may not be the same as that of a human."
Therefore, what they mean may not be the same as what we mean.
Ye Rui sighed, "This is the theory of genius and madness."
Horii: "Genius is on the left, madman is on the right, and their boundary is reason."
Daigo: "What do you mean?"
Lin Yeming recalled someone from his memory and explained calmly, "In our area, there was a great performer who once said something."
"Never discriminate against a madman; he just has a different worldview from yours."
Everyone nodded thoughtfully.
After Zong Fang settled things with the old man who was raising cattle, he asked headquarters, "Headquarters, the evacuation is complete. Shall we open fire?"
Kijima Megumi turned to Lin Yeming and asked, "Yeming, do you think it's necessary to attack?"
Lin Yeming: "Ye Rui, have the comparison results come out yet?"
Ye Rui pressed the Enter key to compare: "Almost done, please wait."
"Alright, based on the comparison results, this monster is a mutated version of the Mogura Rat!"
"It mutated because it ingested underground pollutants."
Zongfang asked in confusion, "Mogura?"
Ye Rui: "You can think of it as a type of rat."
Horii: "If that's the case, then this monster might actually be hungry."
"If it was for food, then the motive for attacking the zoo is understandable."
"Of course, there are not only animals here, but also many people!"
It was another mutation caused by pollutants, and Megumi Kijima frowned deeply.
The monster showed no inclination to attack, so she couldn't directly order an attack.
After thinking about it, she still felt she should summarize the opinions of her team members.
"It seems that the pollutants underground can no longer sustain the monster, which is why it has appeared on the surface."
"The question is, why is this monster sleeping? Isn't it hungry?"
Daigo had a vivid memory of Obik, and when he thought of him, the possibility seemed very high.
Therefore, he speculated: "Is it possible that this monster cannot move during the day, just like Obik did before?"
Following Daigo's line of thought, Lina speculated, "Because it lives in darkness all year round, it is afraid of sunlight. Then, in search of food, it found the Mero Zoo and finally broke out of the ground?"
"So, if we just meet the monster's needs, we should be able to raise it like an animal, right?"
Lina's idea was bold, but unfortunately, they didn't have the ability to limit the monster's power.
This is something Munakata knows, so he is more inclined to eliminate the monster.
Everyone else shared their thoughts, and finally all eyes were on Lin Yeming.
Apart from him and Megumi Kijima, everyone else at the scene expressed their opinions.
Lin Yeming pondered for a moment, then glanced at Lina and said, "I have an idea."
