Chapter 969: ZAT Operation, Consultant Takes a Break

"Will it cause an electromagnetic storm in this area of ​​the sea, leading to mechanical failure?"

Moriyama Izumi also spoke enthusiastically at this moment and expressed his own guess.

"No, in that case ZAT should be able to capture it."

Asahina Yuutarou immediately shook his head to indicate that this was impossible.

For a moment, the team members fell silent and looked at Gu Chen at the same time.

Obviously, since Gu Chen is present at this time, he will have to make the decision.

"The Coast Guard search plane should have already flown to the scene, Nishida, so please contact the Coast Guard."

Facing everyone's gaze, Gu Chen nodded slightly and then began to give orders.

"Yes."

Jiro Nishida accepted the order immediately.

"Araki took Nanyuan and Kitajima to the scene on the Sky Whale."

Then, Gu Chen turned around and looked at Huang Yuan Shuping and others.

"Yes."

The three people whose names were called responded in unison.

"Captain Asahina, I'll trouble you to take overall command from now on."

Finally, Gu Chen looked at Asahina Yutaro.

"Yes." Asahina Yuutarou responded immediately, but then he became curious, "Advisor, what about you...?"

"I have something to go out for."

After saying that, Gu Chen left the operations room, leaving the team members with a gradually disappearing back.

"I always feel that...the consultants nowadays are a little different from before."

Watching Gu Chen disappear from his sight, Mori Shanquan tilted his head and said uncertainly.

"Really? I don't feel that way."

Upon hearing this, Nanyuan Tadao also tilted his head, but he didn't feel that Gu Chen was any different from before.

"You are too slow. You don't even think about what happened before. Do you remember what the consultant's previous political stance was?"

Kitajima Tetsuya rolled his eyes at Minamihara Tadao and then reminded him in a bad mood.

"I see. That incident must have been a big blow to the consultant."

Jiro Nishida nodded as if he understood something.

"Alright, alright, is this something we can talk about? What are you doing here? Hurry up and do something!"

Hearing the topic the team members were discussing, Asahina Yuutarou immediately waved his hand to interrupt the topic and urged the team members.

Upon hearing this, the team members came to their senses. Those who needed to contact the Coast Guard did so, while those who needed to go to the scene to investigate picked up their helmets and ran out of the operations room.

After a while, the Tianjing took off from the headquarters base of the ZAT team and headed towards the DS waters.

……

On the other side, after Gu Chen left the operations room, he went home to sleep.

It was already late at night. After resting at home for a whole day, Higashi Kotaro felt a little better and would probably recover in another night.

Then, Gu Chen went back to his room to rest with peace of mind, and slept until dawn.

At this time, Shuhei Aragaki and others had been patrolling the DS waters all night. Having found nothing, they took a short rest on a rocky reef that was not marked on the nautical chart and might have appeared recently.

After getting up, Gu Chen did not go to work, but drove the modified Black Panther retired by the TAC team directly to a supermarket.

Then he bought a lot of things in it, stuffed them into the suitcase, and then Gu Chen continued driving towards the distance.

He decided to skip work today and go on a spontaneous trip.

As for work, Shi Xinyu is in charge of document processing, and the ZAT team is in charge of monster combat. As the highest commander, he just missed one day of work. Does that mean the Earth Defense Force will be unable to function?

Besides, he is the top leader, so this doesn’t count as absenteeism, it counts as vacation.

So, Gu Chen drove all the way out of Tokyo, and after passing a slightly run-down small town, he parked the car on a deserted beach.

Sunshine, waves, beach.

Gu Chen got out of the car, looked at the endless sea, and couldn't help but stretching.

After feeling the sea breeze blowing towards him, he turned around, opened the trunk of his car, and took out the things he bought from the supermarket one by one.

Charcoal fire, grill, seasonings, skewers and a large variety of fruits, vegetables and meat.

It seems that Gu Chen is planning to enjoy a beach barbecue here.

But he didn't know that his enjoyment scared the ZAT team members far away in Tokyo.

……

After a whole night of fruitless patrol, Shuhei Aragaki and his two companions, feeling a little tired, took a rest on a huge rocky reef.

As I relaxed, the fatigue accumulated after staying up all night came flooding back like a tide.

So Shuhei Araki decided to take a rotation system for rest, with each person working for an hour and then taking over, to ensure that nothing went wrong.

This decision was immediately agreed by Tetsuya Kitajima and Tadao Minamihara, and Tetsuya Kitajima also took the initiative to ask to be the first to be on duty.

Then Araki Shuhei and Minamihara Tadao fell asleep peacefully.

As a result, while on duty, Tetsuya Kitajima couldn't hold up his fighting eyelids and fell asleep in a daze.

And this sleep lasted for four hours.

It was not until Izumi Moriyama at the ZAT team headquarters discovered that Shuhei Araki and others had moved without reporting any incident that they urgently contacted them.

At this time, Shuhei Araki suddenly realized that Tetsuya Kitajima, who was supposed to be on duty, had fallen asleep at some point, causing all three of them to fall asleep and no one was awake.

Soon after, Shuhei Araki contacted Izumi Moriyama and learned that they had crossed a distance of 300 kilometers from the DS waters and appeared near Hachijo Island in the DU waters.

And this is not the end yet. Just after they were awakened by Moriyama Izumi, a large number of bubbles suddenly began to appear on the sea surface.

In the constantly rolling sea water, one huge octopus tentacle after another rushed out of the sea.

Immediately afterwards, the rocky reef where they were located began to shake violently.

At this time, no matter how slow-witted Shuhei Araki and the others were, they realized what had happened.

Then, the news that two monsters appeared near Hachijo Island in the DU Sea area reached the ZAT team headquarters.

"Moriya, contact the consultant immediately."

Seeing this, Asahina Yuutarou quickly spoke to Moriyama Izumi.

"Yes!"

Upon hearing this, Sen Shanquan immediately turned around and started contacting Gu Chen.

"Nishida, come with me to support Aragaki and the others."

Then, Asahina Yuutarou turned to look at Saiten Jiro, picked up the helmet on the table, and ran out of the war room.

Hachijo Island is inhabited by residents, and now that two monsters have appeared, the situation is extremely urgent.

"Captain, we can't contact the consultant. It seems he didn't come to headquarters today."

But at this moment, a word from Izumi Moriyama made Asahina Yutaro stop immediately.

"what?!"
