Rebirth: I am Ultraman Tiga

In this city that used to be like a shining pearl, exuding a bustling atmosphere, the streets are now shrouded in a strange silence that is eerie and seems to come from the abyss. The sun still shines, but it only adds to the sense of emptiness. The bright light spreads wantonly on the deserted streets, as if it is looking for the once familiar laughter and joy, but it only harvests endless loneliness.

Captain Yang Xue is like a towering, never-give-up mountain, with a figure as tall as a pine tree. Her determined and sharp eyes are like the brightest cold star in the night sky, deep and sharp, as if they can penetrate the fog and reach the core of the truth. She is wearing a specially made uniform, which is uniquely designed. The smooth lines are like a lively stream, shining with a mysterious luster in the sun. Its high-tech material not only fits every curve of the body, but also is more like an indestructible armor, silently showing her professionalism and courageous spirit. Every detail, from the exquisite neckline to the tight cuffs, seems to be telling the important mission and endless glory she shoulders.

Lin Feng beside him was like a nimble cheetah, exuding an innate sense of strength and agility. His posture was nimble and flexible, and every step he took was accompanied by a steady and powerful rhythm, as if the earth was trembling slightly. The powerful steps, like the sound of a war drum, echoed in the quiet street, always showing that he was on high alert, like a taut bowstring, ready to burst out amazing power when danger came. His eyes were like torches, carefully scanning everything around him, not missing any corner that might hide clues, whether it was the inconspicuous trash can on the street or the tiny cracks on the wall, nothing could escape his sharp eyes like a hawk.

The two of them walked slowly along the street, like warriors groping in the dark, persistently pursuing a ray of light. Sometimes they squatted down and carefully checked whether there were any suspicious traces on the ground; sometimes they looked up at the sky, wondering if there were any abnormal phenomena passing through the air; sometimes they got close to the buildings on the street, listening to whether there were any subtle sounds coming from the walls. Every movement was precise and meticulous, and every observation was focused. However, the ruthless time quietly slipped through the fingers like fine sand, and the reason why people were sleeping was still like an extremely solid and difficult to conquer mysterious fortress, tightly entangled by heavy fog, with no clues.

Yang Xue frowned slightly, with a hint of helplessness and anxiety in her eyes. She knew the importance and urgency of this mission. Every moment of delay would cause the world to fall into a deeper crisis. But facing this clueless situation, she also felt unprecedented pressure. Lin Feng was silently observing everything around him, trying to find some clues from the subtle details. His eyes were focused and persistent. Although he was a little frustrated, he still firmly supported the captain's actions.

"Captain, it seems there is nothing to be found here." Lin Feng said softly, with a hint of fatigue in his voice.

Yang Xue sighed softly and nodded: "Let's go back to the Victory Team base first and see if the other groups have made any progress."

So, with full of disappointment and unwillingness, they turned around and walked towards the Victory Team base. Along the way, the once bustling streets were now empty, with only their footsteps echoing in the silence, which seemed particularly lonely.

When Captain Yang Xue and Lin Feng dragged their tired and slightly heavy steps back to the Victory Team base, the base was already crowded with people. The members of the other teams were either sitting in the corner with their heads down or gathered together in a low voice with tired faces. Everyone's face seemed to be shrouded in a thick haze, and the helplessness and frustration spread in the air like a tide, clearly perceptible.

Yang Xue and Lin Feng quickly blended into the crowd and communicated with each team member one by one. Their voices were low and hoarse, and every word seemed to carry a lot of disappointment: "We conducted a carpet search in the financial district in the city center, checked the monitoring equipment, computer terminals, and even the ventilation ducts of each building, but still had no clues..." "We checked every household in the residential area, tested various electronic devices in the residents' homes, and inquired about the surrounding smart security systems, but still found nothing..." "It's the same in the science and technology park. All scientific research equipment and server rooms have been checked, but there is no clue related to the cause of the sleep..."

As the discussion deepened, the despairing fact became clearer to everyone: each team had not gained even a tiny bit of valuable results in the long and arduous investigation process. The entire conference room seemed to be filled with an invisible but extremely heavy atmosphere of oppression, which was suffocating. Team members either frowned and stared at the table with empty eyes; or held their heads with their hands and rubbed their hair painfully, as if trying to squeeze out a ray of inspiration from their chaotic thoughts.

In this tormenting silence, Captain Yang Xue slowly stood up, her eyes firm and calm, trying to break the deadlock: "Don't be discouraged, although we haven't found any clues yet, it doesn't mean we have to give up. Let's reorganize our thinking and start from the source of the virus, possible mutation methods, and our existing technical means. Maybe we can find a new breakthrough direction."

However, she was met with only silence. The team members' minds seemed to be stuck in a bottomless quagmire, and the more they struggled, the harder it was to extricate themselves. Although they all knew that what the captain said was very true, facing this huge pressure and clueless dilemma, it was difficult for them to take action for a while.

Time passed by, and the conference room was still filled with a solemn atmosphere. But in this seemingly endless deadlock, a faint ray of hope flickered quietly. A young team member, with a hint of hesitation and uncertainty in his eyes, slowly said: "Captain, I wonder if we have overlooked some ancient technologies or natural phenomena before? Perhaps, this dormant virus is not simply a product of modern technology, but is related to some power that we have forgotten..." Although his voice was light, it was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, instantly stirring up ripples in the hearts of the team members. Everyone's eyes turned to him, and there began to be a glimmer of new brilliance in his originally dull eyes, as if after groping in the dark for a long time, he finally saw a glimmer of dawn.

Time is like a ruthless hourglass, where every grain of sand seems to be precisely calibrated, slowly flowing away at a constant and cruel rhythm. Before people know it, a long week passes by in a flash.

During these seven nightmarish days and nights, the world seemed to have been paused, but it was not really still. On the streets, in the houses, and in the public places, people were still trapped in a strange and inexplicable sleep, like a sleeping beauty under an evil spell, but this time, there was no brave prince to wake them up. The whole city lost its former vitality and bustle, leaving only a dead silence and emptiness, with only the breeze blowing gently, bringing up a few fallen leaves on the ground, making a slight rustling sound, as if sighing silently for this sleeping world.

The instigator of all this, Huang Hong, who was hiding in the depths of darkness and plotting everything like a devil, issued a sinister order, like a poisonous fuse. Once ignited, it triggered a disaster that swept the world. He ordered Commander Blake to spread the mysterious and terrifying dormant virus through television and computer networks. In this era of highly developed information and the Internet as ubiquitous as air, the virus is like an invisible ghost, silently but unstoppably penetrating into every corner of the world at an astonishing speed.

On the TV screen, the originally wonderful program was instantly swallowed up by darkness, replaced by the virus code flashing with strange light. They twisted and changed wantonly on the screen like a group of crazy dancers, and then turned into invisible waves, drilling into every electronic device connected to it. In front of the computer terminal, countless people who were working, studying, and having fun were attacked by the sudden virus before they could react. The mouse and keyboard lost control in an instant, and creepy warning pop-ups popped up on the screen. Then, a strong sense of sleepiness overwhelmed them like a surging tide. No matter how they struggled and resisted, they could not resist the gradually closing eyes.

This carefully planned conspiracy is like a huge and dense invisible net, covering everything from high-rise buildings in bustling cities to simple huts in remote villages; from bustling commercial centers to quiet and peaceful campuses; from busy transportation hubs to heavily guarded government agencies. No matter whether they are white-haired old men or babbling children; whether they are busy office workers or medical staff who save lives and heal the wounded, they have not been able to escape the shackles of this devil's net and have fallen into the endless abyss of sleep.

Governments around the world activated emergency response mechanisms at the first opportunity, and countless top scientists and technical experts gathered together, working day and night to crack the mystery of the dormant virus and find the key to saving humanity. However, the virus seemed to be a mysterious creature from another dimension. Its complex structure, strange transmission method, and elusive operating mechanism left all the experts helpless. They could only watch the world step by step into the unknown dark abyss in its sleep, with helplessness and despair in their hearts.

Cities around the world are like giant ships without a helmsman, drifting in the rough sea of ​​chaos, gradually falling into endless darkness and collapse.

The power system that once brought light and power to the city is now, due to the lack of careful maintenance and supervision by humans, like an old man who is dying of illness, and will fall into desperate failures from time to time. In the huge power station, the units that once ran at high speed and hummed now stopped working one after another due to the lack of daily inspections and timely maintenance by technicians. The lights in the city began to go out gradually. At first, they were only flickering and dimming locally, and then a chain reaction like dominoes was triggered, and large areas were swallowed by darkness. In the towering office buildings, computer screens went black in an instant, and important documents and materials disappeared in the darkness before they could be saved; in the hospital, patients on the operating table encountered power outages at critical moments, and they could only struggle helplessly in the dark with their lives in danger; in residents' homes, refrigerators stopped refrigerating, refrigerated food began to deteriorate, and heating and air conditioning stopped working. People shivered in the cold and darkness, and fear and anxiety filled every corner.

Transportation facilities were also paralyzed. On the road, vehicles that were originally driving in an orderly manner under the control of drivers could only be parked in the middle of the road because their owners fell asleep. The highway became a huge parking lot, with various cars, trucks, and buses colliding and squeezing each other, forming an insurmountable steel barrier. Railway transportation was also forced to be interrupted. At the train station, trains were quietly parked on the tracks, with no one in the carriages. Only the flashing indicator lights were still faintly proving that they had been running. In the subway tunnel, the train was trapped in the dark, and the passengers were sleeping without knowing that they were in danger. Air traffic was even more chaotic. The airport runway was full of planes that could not take off and land. Flights were forced to be cancelled. Countless passengers were stranded at the airport, looking at the planes that were no longer flying in the sky, their eyes were full of confusion and helplessness.

The shutdown of factories is like a death knell for the supply chain of materials in modern society. Those factory workshops that once roared and were busy with production day and night are now only silent and empty. The machines on the production line stopped running, and the raw materials piled up like mountains but no one cared about them. The production and supply of various industrial products came to an abrupt end. The shutdown of food processing plants led to the gradual sale of the dazzling array of food on supermarket shelves. In order to compete for the limited necessities of life, people began to quarrel, push, and even fight in supermarkets. When the supplies in the supermarkets were completely exhausted, some lawless elements began to take advantage of the fire. They broke into residents' homes with weapons and robbed property. The originally harmonious and peaceful community instantly became a hotbed of crime. Social security deteriorated sharply. Due to insufficient police force, the police were unable to effectively maintain order and could only watch the crimes happen wantonly in broad daylight. The city nights are no longer peaceful; instead, they are filled with gunshots, shouting, and crying. Fear spreads among the crowd like a plague. People don’t know what will be waiting for them tomorrow and can only struggle to survive alone in this chaotic and collapsed world.

In some major cities, patients on life support systems in hospitals are dying because there is no medical staff to take care of them; schools are empty and the education system has come to a standstill; banks are unmanned and the financial order is in chaos. Government agencies are unable to function normally, and the entire social management structure is on the verge of collapse.

In an ancient European city, Big Ben still rings alone, but no one listens to its melodious sound. Garbage piles up on the streets, emitting a pungent stench, and rats run around freely. The once beautiful park is now overgrown with weeds, the fountain no longer sprays water, and the benches are covered with dust.

In a prosperous city in Asia, there are tall buildings everywhere, but the lights are dim. The subway is empty, only the trains are still running back and forth according to the preset program, making a monotonous sound. The airport runway is full of planes that cannot take off, and the terminal hall is in a mess, with luggage scattered all over the floor.

The situation in American cities is not much better. The Statue of Liberty stands quietly by the sea, but there are no more tourists around. The bridges are cracked and loose due to lack of maintenance, and are in danger of collapse at any time.

The members of the Victory Team watched these heartbreaking scenes with great anxiety but were helpless. They knew that they had to find a way to crack the dormant virus as soon as possible, otherwise the world would be plunged into endless darkness and chaos. Captain Yang Xue cheered up again and encouraged the morale of the team members: "We can't give up. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, we must work hard to the end. This is our mission and the last hope for all mankind."

The team members nodded one after another, their fighting spirit rekindled in their eyes. They began to re-sort out all the clues, from the virus's transmission route, the mechanism of attack, to possible solutions, and conducted more in-depth and detailed research and discussion. Although the road ahead is still full of unknowns and difficulties, they are determined to become the light that illuminates the world in this dark moment and work tirelessly to save mankind.
