Chapter 1944 Zombie Monster - Silizan

Coast of Kitagawa City, Shizuoka Prefecture

Upon receiving the message, TPC has already set up a cordon in the vicinity, keeping curious residents out.

As expected, the media reporters arrived at the scene before the GUTS team and started broadcasting live.

"This is the scene. Members of the Earth Peace Alliance - TPC, and GUTS members appear to have arrived."

"A long time had passed since the monster died, and its corpse emitted an unbearable stench."

As one reporter was speaking, he could no longer bear it and covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief, putting on a mask of pain.

Even so, the stench was still everywhere, seeping into the noses of the people around them.

This footage, broadcast across the country via cameras, allowed people to get a sense of the appalling situation without having to be there in person.

But at that moment, Masami Horii's face suddenly squeezed into the camera's view.

The enormous face instantly filled the entire screen, startling everyone watching the live television broadcast.

But then, Masami Horii's next words caused an even bigger sensation.

"Hello everyone, this is Horii from the GUTS team. I would like to take this opportunity to share something with you all: this monster may not be dead."

"Yes, you heard right. Although this monster looks like it has been dead for a long time, and its body is already rotting and emitting a strong stench, we still cannot rule out the possibility that it is still alive."

"I know this sounds counterintuitive, but believe me, the existence of monsters is itself illogical."

"In addition, the air here has been polluted by the stench emanating from the monster. Prolonged exposure to such an environment will have a very serious impact on human health. Therefore, please evacuate the area covered by the stench as soon as possible. Thank you for your cooperation."

After saying this, Horii Masami planned to walk away from the camera to investigate the 'corpse' of the monster that Gu Chen had mentioned was still alive.

However, because Masami Horii stopped and spoke in front of the camera, a group of people had already gathered around him.

Seeing that Horii Masami was about to leave, a reporter who had chatted with Munakata Seiichi at the bar that morning immediately grabbed Horii Masami's arm.

"Wait, what's your basis for saying this monster is still alive?"

What did GUTS discover? What are their next steps?

Next to the reporter, a young man immediately took out a notebook and began to jot down the questions, waiting for Masami Horii's answers.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Please ask any questions later at the Information Bureau. We need to conduct an investigation right now."

"Hey you, can you help me out?"

Horii Masami had no time to deal with the reporters' questions, and besides, he didn't know much, and there were some things he couldn't tell the public in advance, not to mention that it would delay their operations.

Soon, police officers 'rescued' Horii Masami from the crowd and brought him safely to Munakata Seiichi's side.

……

In the makeshift command center, Seiichi Munakata, Tetsuo Shinjo, and Masami Horii were communicating with headquarters.

Munakata Seiichi: "Advisor, is this monster really still alive? No matter how you look at it, it has no vital signs at all."

Before asking this question, Munakata Seiichi had already ordered Shinjo Tetsuo and Horii Masami to investigate the monster not far away and obtain some samples from it for analysis.

Throughout the entire process, the monster remained completely unresponsive, as if it were dead.

In the communication screen, Gu Chen nodded and confirmed, "I'm pretty sure this monster is still alive. I don't know if you've ever heard of the word 'zombie'."

Tetsuo Shinjo shuddered: "A zombie?! Advisor, you're saying this is a zombie monster?"

He was most afraid of these supernatural and ghostly things.

Gu Chen: "You could say that, so before this monster wakes up, I suggest we get rid of it as soon as possible."

After pondering for a moment, Munakata Seiichi looked at Iruma Megumi on the communication screen and said, "Captain, what do you think?"

Upon hearing this, Megumi lowered her head and thought for a moment before saying, "Trust the advisor; he's a professional at dealing with monsters."

Munakata Seiichi nodded and said, "Alright, how about we burn this monster?"

After saying that, Zongfang Chengyi looked at Horii Masami.

Masami Horii nodded: "Based on the samples collected from the monster, fire can be lethal to it."

Munakata Seiichi: "Alright, then let's prepare for the on-site incineration. Have the surrounding residents been evacuated?"

As he spoke, Munakata Seiichi looked at Shinjo Tetsuo again.

Tetsuo Shinjo: "Evacuation is underway. Many people still don't believe the monster is alive and want to come and see what's going on, making the evacuation work quite difficult."

This has caused everyone a bit of a headache.

The main reason is that the monster has caused almost no harm to people since it appeared. Golza did not appear in the city because of Gu Chen's intervention. Therefore, people nowadays obviously lack fear of monsters, especially since this monster looks no different from being dead.

Upon hearing this, Munakata Seiichi also frowned.

If something goes wrong during the burning and the monster awakens, GUTS won't be able to guarantee the safety of the surrounding people.

After thinking for a moment, Munakata Seiichi continued, "Then let's transport the monster to the ocean and deal with it. If ordinary transport planes won't work, how about using the Victory Swallow II?"

Megumi Kijima: "Given the current situation, the Wing 2's propulsion is insufficient, and it must be equipped with boosters."

Munakata Seiichi: "Then we'll have to dismantle the weapons and equipment."

Megumi Kijima: "Lina, have you finished the training on the capture arm?"

Nanase Rena immediately replied, "Yes, no problem."

Seeing this, Megumi nodded, and just as she was about to give the order, Gu Chen suddenly spoke up: "Gentlemen, if you intend to carry out the hoisting operation, you should consider the extent of the monster's body decay."

"If the area of ​​the point of contact is too small, the rotting flesh and blood may not be able to support it."

In the original story, GUTS failed to consider this point, which led to the failure of the hoisting operation and the awakening of the zombie monster.

Upon hearing this, Horii Masami immediately chimed in, "That makes sense. I discovered this when I went to collect samples earlier. The monster's body tissue was no different from rotting flesh, and I was able to collect the samples without much effort."

Horii Masami's words provided corroborating evidence for Gu Chen and also greatly increased the difficulty of the funeral arrangements.
