Rebirth: I am Ultraman Tiga

Chapter 166 Sleeping Shadow

Under the bustling city with its hustle and bustle and flashing neon lights, there is a mysterious world hidden - the Victory Base. Buried deep underground, it is like a steel fortress, carrying the sacred mission of protecting the city and mankind.

Inside the base, the lights were bright, as bright as day. The walls were inlaid with rows of lighting fixtures that emitted soft light, illuminating the entire space clearly and brightly. Various high-tech devices flashed colorful indicator lights, and the lines crisscrossed like a complex neural network, extending to every corner of the base. The solemn atmosphere of the meeting that just ended was like a substance, heavily permeating every inch of the air, making people almost breathless.

In the meeting room, the team members sat neatly around a huge oval conference table, their faces without exception filled with deep worries about unknown crises. Some team members frowned, their eyes revealed confusion and bewilderment; some team members looked serious, biting their lower lips tightly, as if trying to suppress their inner uneasiness; and some team members stared blankly ahead, their thoughts already drifting to the streets full of danger and mystery.

Captain Yang Xue stood tall at one end of the conference table. She was wearing a specially made team uniform. The slim design not only showed her capable temperament, but also highlighted her majesty as a leader. She slowly scanned the audience with a firm gaze. Her eyes were like a sharp blade, as if they could penetrate the hearts of the team members and give them strength and courage. Her voice was steady and powerful, and every word echoed in the conference room like a huge bell: "This incident is extremely strange. The inexplicable disappearance of people on the street is not ordinary. We all know that in every corner of this city, there are countless citizens with ordinary and happy life trajectories. They either rush to work in the morning sun, or leisurely stroll on the streets in the evening afterglow, laughing and chatting with family and friends. However, all this is broken now. They disappeared from our sight without any warning, leaving only empty streets and endless mysteries."

Captain Yang Xue paused slightly, her gaze became deeper, as if she could see through the walls of the base and see the terrifyingly silent streets: "We are the guardians of this city and the last hope of the citizens. We must find out the truth as soon as possible and not let the citizens fall into danger. Every minute of delay may mean more lives are threatened and more families are torn apart." Her words were loud and clear, like an exciting war drum, beating the hearts of the team members again and again.

The team members raised their heads one after another, and the confusion and uneasiness in their eyes were gradually replaced by firm determination. Those young team members may have just joined the Victory Team and have never experienced such a severe test, but at this moment, they looked at the captain's firm eyes, and an inexplicable courage surged in their hearts. They knew that they were shouldering not only a job, but also a sacred mission to save lives and protect their homes. And those experienced old team members had more calmness and calmness in their eyes. They had stood up in countless crises and fought desperately with various evil forces. At this moment, they clenched their fists and swore in their hearts that no matter what was waiting for them ahead, they would fight side by side with the captain and never leave.

An old team member sitting on the left side of the conference table was the first to break the silence. His voice was a little hoarse, but full of power: "Captain, I think we can start from the last place where the missing person appeared, and check the surrounding environment and possible clues one by one. Maybe they left some subtle traces before they disappeared, but we haven't found them yet."

Then, a young female team member stood up, her eyes sparkling with wisdom. "Captain, I suggest that we investigate the city's surveillance system at the same time. Although most of the surveillance images appear normal, there may be key information hidden in some corners that we have overlooked. Perhaps a passing shadow or an abnormal signal interference may be an important clue for us to solve the mystery."

The team members expressed their opinions and put forward their own ideas and suggestions. Some team members suggested checking the city's energy supply system to see if there are any abnormal fluctuations; some team members believed that a detailed investigation should be conducted on foreign personnel and vehicles that have recently entered the city; and some team members suggested contacting relevant departments in other cities to find out whether similar incidents have occurred.

Captain Yang Xue listened carefully to the speeches of each team member, with an expression of approval on her face from time to time. She knew that the power of the team was infinite, and each team member had his or her own unique way of thinking and professional skills. Only by giving full play to everyone's wisdom can we win the battle against the unknown crisis.

"Everyone's ideas are very good," Captain Yang Xue nodded slightly and said, "We will follow the plan proposed by everyone and divide into several teams to carry out the operation simultaneously. The first team will be responsible for investigating the last place where the missing persons appeared; the second team will conduct a comprehensive inspection of the city's monitoring system; the third team will check the energy supply system; and the fourth team will investigate outsiders and vehicles. Lin Feng and I will form a team to go to the streets for on-site inspections."

The team members nodded to show that they understood. They quickly stood up, packed their equipment, and then walked out of the meeting room in an orderly manner, rushing to their respective mission locations. Captain Yang Xue looked at the backs of the team members leaving, and a warm current surged in her heart. She knew that no matter how rough and bumpy the road ahead was, as long as they were united, nothing could stop them from moving forward.

As soon as the meeting ended, the entire Victory Team base was instantly enveloped by a tense and orderly atmosphere of action. The team members stood up quickly and swiftly like well-trained soldiers. The slight sounds of the chairs rubbing against the ground intertwined, and the footsteps echoed in the empty corridor. According to the previous deployment, everyone divided into several small teams without hesitation. When the eyes of each team member met, they were full of determination and tacit understanding, and immediately rushed to every corner of the city to explore the truth hidden in the dark.

Captain Yang Xue and Lin Feng stood up almost at the same time. Their eyes met in the air. It was only a brief moment, but it seemed to convey a thousand words. It was a tacit understanding that did not need to be explained in words, and it was the deep trust cultivated by fighting side by side for a long time. Then, the two walked side by side to the base garage.

Lin Feng, as a young backbone of the team, has a strong body and a brisk and powerful pace. His bright and sharp eyes always sparkle with wisdom, and his mind is as agile as a cheetah. He can always respond quickly when faced with various complex situations, and is full of infinite energy and enthusiasm, as if he is never tired. In addition to the friendship between teammates, he has a deep respect and unreserved trust in Captain Yang Xue. In his heart, the captain is the soul and core of the Victory Team, and the lighthouse that leads everyone forward in the darkness.

They walked into the garage, where the lights were dim but various advanced vehicles were neatly parked. These vehicles were high-tech equipment specially made to deal with different crises. Captain Yang Xue walked straight to an off-road vehicle with a tough appearance, smooth lines and a high sense of technology. The metal shell of the car body glowed with a cold and hard luster under the light, as if silently telling the mission it was carrying.

The captain gently pressed the car key, and the vehicle issued a low and steady unlocking prompt sound, and the lights flashed twice, like a loyal partner who had been awakened and opened his eyes. She opened the car door first and sat in the driver's seat. The dashboard in the car lit up instantly, and various indicator lights and display screens emitted a faint blue light, reflecting the interior space full of science fiction. Lin Feng quickly went around to the other side, opened the door of the passenger seat, sat in, closed the door, and fastened his seat belt.

Captain Yang Xue held the steering wheel with both hands, adjusted her sitting position slightly, and felt the breath of the vehicle, as if establishing a deeper connection with it. Lin Feng was checking some equipment in the car to ensure that the communication device was normal and the weapon system could be activated at any time.

"Captain, this mission is definitely not easy, but I believe we can find clues and solve the mystery." Lin Feng turned to look at Captain Yang Xue, his eyes full of determination and confidence.

Captain Yang Xue nodded slightly, with a barely perceptible smile on her lips: "Well, with you here, I feel more confident. Let's go." After that, she stepped lightly on the accelerator, and the vehicle slowly drove out of the garage. The tires rubbed slightly against the ground, making a low rolling sound, and drove towards the unknown streets. They were about to embark on an investigation journey full of challenges and dangers, and the fate of this city might lie in their next discovery.

The two drove slowly out of the base, the wheels turning quietly on the smooth ground, making a slight humming sound, as if they were whispering for this unknown journey. The car drove smoothly towards the city streets, and the scenes outside the car window gradually appeared before their eyes like a series of frozen pictures.

Originally, this should be a bustling scene with people coming and going. There are all kinds of shops on both sides of the street, and the dazzling array of goods in the windows are shining with attractive lights, attracting the attention of passers-by. Pedestrians are either strolling leisurely, chatting and laughing with friends beside them; or rushing to their respective jobs or appointments. Vehicles are constantly shuttling on the road, and the sound of horns and engines interweaves together, forming a vibrant city symphony.

But at this moment, everything has changed. The wide streets are empty, as quiet as a corner forgotten by time. The sun still shines on the road, but the bright light seems to have lost its temperature, and can only spread out powerlessly, unable to dispel the chill that surges from the bottom of my heart. The doors of the shops on the street are closed, and some have not even had time to put away the promotional signs at the door before being shrouded in this sudden silence. Those signs sway gently in the breeze, making a lonely creaking sound, as if calling for the former bustle.

Lin Feng sat in the passenger seat, his brows furrowed tightly into a "川" shape, his eyes fixed on the window, trying to find some clues from the dead silence. Finally, he couldn't help but break the solemn silence in the car: "Captain, look at this street, it's terribly quiet, no one is seen. We have been investigating for so long, but still have no clue, what is going on?" His voice unconsciously rose a few degrees, with a hint of obvious anxiety and confusion. The voice echoed in the small car, adding a bit of oppressive atmosphere.

Captain Yang Xue looked solemn, her eyes focused on the road ahead, her hands tightly gripping the steering wheel, her knuckles slightly white from exerting force. She was well aware of the difficulty of this mission. From the time the incident occurred to now, they have invested a lot of manpower and time in the investigation, but each time they have returned empty-handed, falling into deeper confusion. "Don't panic, let's take a closer look at the surrounding environment. Any subtle clues may be the key. The more this seemingly calm appearance, the more shocking the truth hidden behind it may be." Although her words were calm, her heart was like a turbulent sea. As the captain, she had to remain calm in front of the team members, but this strange scene still made her heart beat faster involuntarily, and an ominous premonition lingered in her heart.

Captain Yang Xue looked solemn, staring intently at the road ahead, holding the steering wheel tightly with both hands: "Don't panic, let's take a closer look at the surrounding environment, any subtle clues may be the key. The more this seemingly calm appearance, the more shocking the truth hidden behind it may be." Although her words were calm, her heart was full of anxiety. As a captain, she knew the difficulty of this mission and understood that every decision was related to the safety of citizens and the fate of the city.

At the same time, in the depths of the endless, unknown and mysterious universe, in a remote corner shrouded in darkness and thick fog all year round, a huge conspiracy that could plunge the entire earth into eternal damnation is quietly brewing.

Huang Hongsheng was originally a human being on Earth, but his inner greed and blind pursuit of power were like an evil fire, burning up his conscience and humanity, and finally his soul was completely devoured by darkness. At this moment, he colluded with the notorious and extremely evil Yabo people from a distant galaxy, trying to turn the Earth into a plaything for them to manipulate at will.

In the dark lair they were in, the walls were covered with strange vines emitting a faint green light, like the tentacles of the dark power. Various strange-shaped instruments and equipment flashing ominous red lights stood in a row, emitting high-frequency noises that made people's scalps numb. Huang Hongsheng suddenly raised his head and burst into a crazy laugh. The laughter was like a sharp arrow, piercing the silence of this oppressive space.

His eyes flashed with madness and complacency, like two will-o'-the-wisp flames out of control. "Stupid Victory Team," he screamed, his voice full of twisted contempt, "No matter how you investigate, you will not find that these ignorant humans are infected with the sleeping virus. They will forever sleep in an illusory dream, and this world will gradually become our territory." As Huang Hongsheng spoke, he paced back and forth in the nest with a crazy pace, waving his hands in the air, as if he had seen the scene of the earth surrendering at his feet.

The sleeping virus plan he carefully planned is the core of this conspiracy. This virus is transmitted through a special energy wave, which can cleverly avoid most of the existing monitoring systems on the earth and sneak into every corner of the city like a ghost. Once it invades the human body, it will quickly act on the brain's nerve center, weaving extremely realistic illusory dreams, causing the victim to fall into a deep coma without realizing it. Moreover, this virus is highly contagious and spreads among the population in geometric multiples.

Huang Hongsheng knew the power of the Victory Team. In order to ensure the success of his conspiracy, he set up multiple means of confusion and interference on the earth. He used high-tech means to interfere with satellite signals, making the information obtained by the Victory Team during the investigation incomplete and full of errors. He also arranged energy shields at some key locations to prevent the Victory Team from getting close to the source of the truth.

The Yabo people watched coldly from the sidelines. Its huge and ugly body was like a dark hill, emitting a suffocating evil atmosphere. It occasionally let out a low roar, as if cheering for Huang Hongsheng's "wonderful performance".

After Huang Hongsheng finished speaking, he let out another creepy evil laugh. That laugh seemed to have the magical power to travel through time and space and the universe, breaking through the barriers of darkness and stars. It was like a death announcement, foreshadowing that a huge disaster was about to befall the earth like a raging tsunami, plunging this blue planet into endless despair and dark abyss.

Captain Yang Xue and Lin Feng drove slowly forward, not missing any corner, carefully observing the buildings and shops on both sides of the street. Many of the shops were open, and the goods inside were neatly arranged, but the owners were nowhere to be seen, as if they had been taken away by some mysterious force in an instant. The vehicles on the roadside were also parked there haphazardly, and some even had their double flash lights on, as if they were suddenly frozen in an emergency.
