Chapter 48 The oil-eating monster

After the monster was destroyed by Ultraman, Dr. Iwamoto also rushed to the scene. When he saw Daisuke Arashi lying on the ground unconscious, he immediately asked with concern: "How is Arashi-kun injured?"

"I was knocked unconscious by a flying stone." Muramatsu Toshio replied.

Yichu Guanghong also smiled and said: "This guy will not die so easily."

After hearing these words, Dr. Iwamoto was completely relieved, turned around and looked at the lifeless Dotongo, and said regretfully: "Captain Muramatsu, the monster is finally dead."

"I'm very sorry, but it will cause more disasters if it is alive." Muramatsu Toshio said.

Dr. Iwamoto did not mean to blame Muramatsu Toshio, but said in a very regretful tone: "It is a shame that we cannot solve the mystery of life seven thousand years ago. There is an incredible connection between mummies and monsters."

"If it had not been discovered, it might have slept for 10,000, 20,000 years or even longer." Akiko Fuji also said with some sentimentality.

Dr. Iwamoto also said with emotion: "It would have been better if I had known about this kind of thing, and it wouldn't be the sad situation it is now."

In their view, the exterminated mummies were the ancestors of their human race, so they felt bad about having to exterminate the mummies.

Only Gu Chen didn't feel anything about it. The mummy didn't look like a human being at first glance. There was nothing so sentimental about it.

While everyone was grieving for the spring and autumn, he quietly touched the side of Dotongo's body, took out a piece of flesh and blood tissue and condensed it into a card, then quietly returned to the team.

Everyone just thought he was too interested in monsters and wanted to get up close and personal, but they didn't take him seriously.

"Consultant, remember to write a review for me when you return to the headquarters." However, Gu Chen failed to escape the fate of writing a review in the end, and was criticized by Muramatsu Toshio.

If he behaves like this again, he will not be allowed to go out with the team, but will stay in the command room drinking coffee.

What else could Gu Chen say to this, he could only silently pick up a pen and paper and just relive the good times of his student days.

In sharp contrast to Gu Chen is the high-spirited Yichu Guanghong.

The barrier machine he invented shined in this battle, winning unanimous praise from everyone and giving Team Cote the confidence to deal with the monsters.

If we encounter a difficult monster again in the future, the protection of the barrier machine will greatly reduce the casualty rate.

So Toshio Muramatsu praised Mitsuhiro Isatsu in front of everyone, which made this guy's proud tail go up to the sky.

While what happened at the Japanese branch of the Scientific Special Investigation Team was gradually coming to an end, unexplained oil field fires occurred in various oil countries in the Middle East.

The Scientific Special Search Team of the Middle East Branch immediately dispatched personnel to investigate, but before they could produce any results, a series of oil storage tank fires and explosions occurred one after another.

This series of incidents instantly caused the international oil price to fluctuate, and also attracted the attention of the Japanese branch of the Scientific Special Investigation Team.

It's just that the incident occurred in the Middle East, and the Japanese branch couldn't control it even if it wanted to. It could only watch the excitement through reports.

But Gu Chen knew that this was another monster causing trouble. According to the development of the plot, it was undoubtedly the Oil Beast Besta.

This is a monster that feeds on oil. It has a non-warlike temperament and generally does not initiate wars.

Therefore, Gu Chen decided to put Besta into the card space after it arrived near Japan to prevent it from being destroyed by humans and Ultraman.

However, it takes a long time for Besta to move from the Middle East to near Japan, so the work of the Kurt team is relatively leisurely during this period.

Gu Chen continued to hone his skills in the karate gym.

Just like that, it was a dark night. A worker working at the dock had a hearty drink with his fellow workers, and then he staggered on his way back to the staff dormitory.

During this process, a flash of light on the sea caught his attention.

In order to prove that he was not hallucinating due to being drunk, the worker even counted his fingers to verify whether he was sober.

But even though he knew he was conscious, his alcohol-narcotized brain didn't let him realize the seriousness of the matter, so he turned around and continued walking to the dormitory.

Then, he met a worker driving an oil truck to transport oil. Because of his staggering steps, the oil truck had to stop to avoid hitting him.

Although the worker was drunk, he did not forget to remind the people in the oil truck that there was something unusual in the water.

But his drunken appearance made what he said unconvincing at all. Instead, he was scolded severely by the people in the oil truck.

After that, the oil truck continued to move forward, but was attacked by Besta hidden in the sea water, and an explosion occurred on the spot.

The fire and shock wave caused by the explosion directly helped the worker sober up, and he immediately called the police in a hurry.

The police who received the news rushed to the scene first. After hearing the word "monster" from the worker's mouth, they notified the Cote team of the incident.

So, when Team Cote received the news, it was already broad daylight.

Immediately, Toshio Muramatsu sent Mitsuhiro Ihatsu and Daisuke Arashi to patrol the sea in Vito, while he and Hayata came in to the dock to learn more details.

As for Gu Chen, because he acted without permission during the battle with Dotongo, he was explicitly prohibited from participating in this operation by Muramatsu Toshio. At the moment, he was staying with Fuji Akiko in the command room, drinking coffee leisurely.

"Consultant, do you think there is really a monster committing the crime?" In the command room, Fuji Akiko, who was idle and bored, found a topic to chat with Gu Chen.

After Gu Chen took a sip of coffee, he said: "The high probability is that if I guess correctly, it should still be a monster that wants to swallow oil."

"Consultant, how did you know?" Fuji Akiko asked curiously.

Because I've read the script.

But just say this in your mind. If you really want to say it, you still have to analyze it with some information.

So, Gu Chen said: "You know what happened in the Middle East some time ago, right?"

Fuji Akiko nodded.

"The investigation of that series of incidents ultimately yielded no results, but judging from the report, the places where the incidents occurred were all related to oil."

"Combined with the fact that the one attacked in this incident was also an oil truck, I can make a bold guess that a monster that likes to swallow oil is at work."

After listening to Gu Chen's explanation, Fuji Akiko nodded thoughtfully and said, "I see, then I'll tell the captain and the others now."
