Chapter 313 Want to see Gaia? Children, he's right in front of you!
The somber reflections sparked by "The Swamp of Sorrow" last week continue to resonate online. A week has flown by, and at 8 PM on Friday, the countdown to the show's release on major video platforms reached zero precisely on time.
Countless viewers, still savoring the aftertaste of the previous episode, clicked on episode 40 of "Ultraman Gaia".
The title of this episode slowly appears in the center of the screen—"Want to See Gaia".
The scene brightens up, revealing not a depressing battlefield, but a group of chattering, energetic elementary school students.
They are "XIG Kids Team Members" carefully selected from across the country.
At this moment, this group of special little guests are standing inside the magnificent aerial base suspended high in the sky, looking around curiously.
The person in charge of receiving and explaining was none other than Di Cheng, the XIG commander known for his iron-blooded seriousness.
Di Cheng, dressed in a crisp uniform, stood in front of a group of children who barely reached his waist. His hands were awkwardly clasped behind his back, his brows furrowed, and he looked quite flustered.
"That...this command center is the central hub of our XIG."
Di Cheng cleared his throat, trying to explain in the simplest terms, "The central hub, simply put, is the very center, which means the most important place."
A little boy raised his hand, interrupting him curiously: "Uncle, how does such a big ship float in the air?"
Faced with this question, which involved a certain level of professional knowledge, Di Cheng's forehead broke out in a fine sweat. Already not good at dealing with children, he immediately began to stammer, "This...this is based on...based on...reverse..."
"Anti-gravity device."
Standing to the side, Gao Ga Meng couldn't bear to watch any longer and stepped forward with a smile to help her out.
"Yes, yes, that's it."
Di Cheng felt a great weight lifted off his shoulders.
My dream continued, "When a major event occurs on Earth, we can immediately travel anywhere from here. If it comes from outer space… well…"
"Is it a primordial extinction entity?" another child blurted out.
I knelt down and gently patted the child's head: "Yes, this is it."
At the communications station in the distance, Commander Ishimura teased, "Chief, you seem to be really bad at dealing with kids."
[Send a comment to prove you're not alone]
Who are these kids? How did they get onto such a strategic location as an aerial base?
[Accidentally stumbled into the Heavenly Palace~~]
Look, they're singing again!
[Hahaha, the serious team leader instantly turned into a stuttering tour guide!]
[Captain Di: Let me fight the monster. This job is much harder than fighting monsters.]
[XIG's promotional efforts, starting from a young age, are quite effective.]
The Q&A session has begun.
The children lined up and took turns calling out their names loudly.
When it was a little boy named Atai's turn, he raised his hand, his eyes shining: "We really want to see Ultraman Gaia!"
This statement resonated strongly with the other children, who excitedly echoed it.
"Yes! Yes!"
"We really want to see him!"
"How can I possibly see him?"
Faced with the children's innocent and hopeful expectations, the smile on my face softened considerably.
He looked at these flowers that represented the future of humanity and answered softly but firmly, "He won't come just because we call him."
The children were stunned for a moment.
Imu continued, "Ultraman will definitely help us, but before that, we have to work hard ourselves."
My dream was so gentle, like a kind older brother next door.
[An episode featuring high emotional intelligence]
Gaia is right in front of you, you silly children!
You have to work hard yourself, not just rely on Ultraman!
Humanity must also rely on its own strength to save the Earth; this is precisely the core message of Gaia.
Next is the hangar tour.
The massive metal hatch opened, revealing a variety of futuristic fighter jets parked silently in their positions. The children gasped in amazement.
"Wow, it's huge!"
"XIG's fighter jets are amazing!"
Myo, who was leading the group, proudly introduced, "This fighter jet is currently the fastest fighter jet in the world. Now, let's go take a look at the White Dove!"
The large group followed along excitedly to visit the White Dove.
However, the little boy named Atai did not follow.
He ran alone to another uniquely shaped red fighter jet, his eyes filled with fascination.
I dreamt that Atai, who had fallen behind, came over.
"Atai, aren't you going? Everyone's gone to see the White Dove."
"I like the EX number the most."
Atai excitedly turned to look at my dream.
"This is the private jet for my Dream Team members, right?"
I was somewhat surprised by the boy's knowledge of fighter jets. He half-squatted down to look Atai in the eye.
"It was originally Director Di's personal machine, but my team members made a lot of modifications to it."
Atai gripped the railing tightly, looking at me with expectant eyes: "You and Gaia fought together, didn't you?"
I looked into the child's eyes and nodded vigorously: "Yes, that's right. Let's fight together."
Soon after, the White Dove, fully loaded with children, slowly drove out of the hangar and flew into the blue sky.
Wei Weike's Lightning Team also immediately took off to protect the White Dove.
In the high-altitude command center, Staff Officer Ye Qian looked at the fighter jets flying steadily on the radar, his expression somewhat emotional.
"Officer Ye,"
Shi Shi walked over and said, "Arranging a visit for the children this time seems a bit too much. After all, the base could face danger at any time."
Staff Officer Ye Qian shook his head, his gaze profound: "I think this is necessary. It won't do if children are afraid of the sky and have no hope for the future. To give children hope for the future, we must let them see it with their own eyes."
He glanced around the bustling command center, his voice steady: "Look at this air base, look at the people working so hard here. We need to let them know that someone is fighting for their tomorrow."
Shi Shi nodded and instructed Di Cheng to take good care of the children:
"Director, I'm entrusting everything to you."
[What a broad perspective! The older generation has shown a tremendous sense of responsibility.]
Yes, seeing news reports every day about monsters from outer space destroying cities is bound to frighten children about the future.
[The statement "Showing strength is to give hope" is absolutely brilliant.]
There's a sense of tradition or inheritance.
However, the peace was soon shattered.
At the communications station, Li Muzi suddenly frowned, her fingers rapidly typing on the keyboard: "There's a problem. The number of passengers on the White Dove is incorrect; a few people are missing!"
Georgie immediately pulled up the security camera footage: "Did someone not get on?"
Di Cheng's expression changed, and he immediately ordered, "I'll go and notify the guards to investigate!"
Meanwhile, in another corridor of the base.
KCB TV reporter Tabata was strolling along the jet bridge with his camera, watching planes take off and land outside.
He shouldn't have been here; he must have sneaked in through some means.
Di Cheng, who was walking towards him, immediately noticed him and frowned deeply.
Although caught red-handed, Tabata remained calm and questioned, "I still can't understand why such powerful fighter jets and this astonishingly large air base are kept secret and developed in secret."
Di Cheng looked at him coldly: "There's nothing we can do about it."
Tabata sneered, pressing further: "That's true. You always say that if the Root of Destruction appears, the world will be plunged into crisis. But! What if it doesn't come? Then wouldn't all these things that cost so much to build become tools of war? Did humanity invest so much just for that supposedly destructive entity that everyone speculates about?"
Faced with the reporter's sharp questioning, Di Cheng's eyes did not flinch in the slightest.
He replied in a deep voice, "I cannot answer hypothetical questions. I completely understand your position."
Tian Duan walked behind Di Cheng with his hands behind his back.
"You're Director Di Cheng, right? The soldier in charge of tactical command. I really can't imagine manipulating fighter jets like chess pieces, issuing those life-or-death orders. This kind of brutal work is truly..."
Before he could finish speaking, Di Cheng interrupted him, giving the order directly:
"Intruder detected! Immediately repatriate him to Earth aboard the Mir!"
[While the reporter's words were harsh, they did indeed represent the concerns of a segment of the public.]
[Building such powerful weapons in peacetime—if aliens don't come, what will these weapons be used for? Internally? It's chilling to think about.]
[But if we don't build them, what will we use to fight the monsters when they actually come? Our heads? That's the dilemma.]
Captain Di, a scholar, encountered a soldier and was too lazy to explain further.
……
Not long after, the Mir spacecraft carrying Tabata took off, ready to send him back to Earth.
But just then, a real crisis struck.
"That's really strange!"
Li Muzi stared at the radar screen; the data there was abnormal. "Something is chasing the White Dove's beacon, rushing towards us at an extremely high speed! But I can't see what it is!"
On the large screen, a blurry, enormous shadow is rapidly moving through outer space.
Staff Officer Ye Qian asked, "Is it a wormhole?"
I frantically analyzed the data: "It looks similar, but it's not! The other side didn't create a wormhole; instead, they directly generated a spatial fluctuation channel!"
Just then, Geo base sent an urgent communication.
"Emergency! It seems there's still one person left at the airbase! He didn't board the White Dove!"
Staff Officer Ye Qian suddenly stood up: "Is he a reporter? Shouldn't he have gone down with the White Dove?"
"No, it's a kid named Atai!"
Everyone gasped. That child, so fascinated by fighter jets, had been left behind in the most dangerous place.
At that moment, I also noticed the unusual phenomenon in the sky. "Look at that! A passage through space!"
"What an amazing speed!"
"It bypassed atmospheric friction and rushed in, like a kind of orbital elevator!"
Inside the base, the data analysis results came out.
That was a powerful biological weapon sent by the primordial annihilation entity—the Great Cosmic Demon!
It doesn't need to go through a wormhole; it can reach Earth directly through a channel generated by its own capabilities, and its target trajectory is aimed directly at the core of ground defense!
"Mimos was resurrected there, could the purpose of the Root of Annihilation being summoned be... Geo Base!"
"Captain Kamiyama!"
Georgie knew, "Please change the Mir's course immediately! Otherwise, it will be attacked!"
Inside the Mir liner, which was en route back to port, reporter Tian Duan gripped his seat tightly, feeling the violent turbulence: "What on earth is happening?!"
The pilot didn't have time to pay attention to him, because the Peace was already affected by the intense spatial fluctuations caused by the arrival of the Great Cosmic Demon.
In order to save the mothership, the system triggered an emergency evacuation procedure.
The EX fighter, which was installed inside the Mir 3D aircraft, detached itself from the main unit uncontrollably and entered unmanned flight mode, crashing directly into the turbulent currents.
Captain Kamiyama was also stunned. "The B hatch is open! EX is flying unmanned... wait! Someone's inside!"
"Who is it?! EX number, answer me now!" Di Cheng rushed to the communications station and shouted.
A burst of static came through the communicator, followed by a young voice trying to sound calm.
"It's...it's me."
The hearts of everyone in the command center sank to the bottom. It was Atai!
"A child driving the EX license plate?! How could this happen?!"
I tried to contact the AI Pal built into the EX, but found: "The EX is affected by fluctuations, the system is damaged, and it cannot be remotely controlled!"
Inside the violently churning cockpit of the EX, Atai was huddled up in fear, his face deathly pale.
Ahead of him, the colossal and ferocious Great Cosmic Demon Paskiku, carrying with it violent energy, descended into Earth's atmosphere and headed straight for the Geo base.
Meanwhile, the defenses of the Geo base were completely destroyed by the Great Zeus's fireballs!
[Holy crap! That kid got himself into a fighter jet!]
This is a huge problem; the monster's target is Geo Base.
[This monster's entrance was incredibly imposing, complete with its own orbital elevator.]
【Wait, is this monster really that abstract? Just a big mouth】
The situation is extremely critical.
I stared intently at the falling red dot on the screen, and without the slightest hesitation, I turned and rushed out of the command room.
"Wo Meng?!" Li Muzi shouted, but Wo Meng had already disappeared outside the door.
He had to save that child. He absolutely could not allow the next generation, representing humanity's hope, to perish before his eyes.
In the long metal corridor, I dreamt of starting a 100-meter sprint, the wind whistling in my ears.
He pulled out the Blue Sapphire Cone, which was emitting a dazzling red light.
"Gaia—!!!"
The deafening shouts echoed through the passageway.
A dazzling beam of light pierced through the outer wall of the aerial base, transforming into a burning red meteor that streaked across the sky, hurtling toward the crashing EX and the rampaging Great Cosmic Demon.
The guardians of the earth have descended once more.
