People in Ultraman: Beginning Plunder and Fusion

Chapter 101 Mecha Zero 1

The atmosphere inside the Earth Defense Force's Japanese branch was heavy and serious, as an important meeting concerning global security was being held intensively.

The spacious and bright conference room was filled with military experts and high-ranking leaders from all over the world. Their faces were solemn, and their eyes were fixed on the podium in front of them.

At this moment, Commander Kuriki was standing in front of the podium, his posture upright and his expression solemn.

Through high-definition cameras on site and satellite signals around the world, his image and voice were transmitted in real time to everyone who was watching the conference.

"Dear colleagues and friends around the world, after careful consideration and thorough analysis, based on the reasons mentioned above, we have to make a difficult but necessary decision—to disband our existing armory. However, please rest assured that this does not mean our determination to defend against extraterrestrial threats has wavered in the slightest. On the contrary, we will reorganize our forces with new concepts and strategies to build a more powerful, efficient, and elite force adapted to the needs of future warfare!"

Commander Kuriki's words resonated throughout the venue and were also transmitted to a global audience via screens.

He then continued, "I am honored to announce that we will be reorganizing a brand new force—the First Special Airborne Mech Group. This force will be responsible for using monsters to deal with mechs and will become a mainstay in protecting the peace and tranquility of the Earth."

At this point, Commander Kuriki paused slightly. He looked around and, seeing the focused and determined eyes of the attendees, nodded in satisfaction. Then, he slowly stepped down from the podium and went to the side.

Just then, another dashing woman stepped onto the podium; she was Operations Chief, Makoto Yuki.

With light yet confident steps, she walked to the center of the podium and smiled, gesturing to the crowd, "Next, I will explain the relevant situation in detail. I am Operations Chief, Yui Maki."

As she finished speaking, the entire room fell silent once more, everyone eager to hear more information and plans about this new unit from her.

"Before this, we humans were able to avoid being harmed by monsters only with the help of Ultra Warriors. But is this really a good thing? After all, they are aliens too. No one can guarantee that Ultra Warriors will never give up helping us. Perhaps one day Ultra Warriors will also leave."

"Therefore, we thoroughly analyzed their combat data and used it as a blueprint to successfully develop the strongest robot to date, the artificial Ultra Warrior, named Ultra Artificial Mecha Zero, or Mecha Zero for short."

"With the help of Ultraman Tiga's spacetime energy, I can now perfectly control the D4 ray." She explained while showing the video on the big screen.

After speaking, Zhenyi respectfully took a few steps back, then turned and left.

At this moment, Commander Kuriki walked steadily to the podium again, straightened his posture, and wore a sanctimonious smile on his face.

He delivered a passionate speech, vigorously promoting so-called justice, but this justice was full of hypocrisy and affectation.

He shouted, urging everyone present to rely on the power of humanity itself to protect our beautiful home, Earth.

Meanwhile, far from the scene, Yuka was watching the live stream on a computer. As she watched, she couldn't help but roll her eyes, her face full of disdain.

"Hmph, how utterly ridiculous! Can this really be considered protecting the Earth? In the end, it's just humanity protecting itself." Yuka muttered angrily.

"Forget it, I don't want to watch this boring stuff anymore. I'd better contact Duolue right away and go to his presidential suite to have a good talk with him!"

With that, Yuka abruptly stood up and temporarily left the Monster Research Center. She quickly picked up her phone, began searching for the exact location of the presidential suite where Duolue was staying, and made a call.

After a brief exchange, Jiehua learned the destination and immediately hung up the phone, rushing off in that direction to prepare for an in-depth conversation with Duolue.

Meanwhile, in another corner of the city, in a steamy bathhouse, Hebikura was leisurely soaking in the tub.

Suddenly, he inadvertently glanced at the television screen hanging on the wall next to him, which was showing Commander Kuriki giving a passionate speech.

However, with his keen insight, Hebikura immediately discovered the clues—it turned out that Commander Kuriki had been successfully parasitized by Cerebro!

In that incredibly luxurious, spacious, and brightly lit presidential suite, he was leisurely reclining on a soft, comfortable sofa, holding a cell phone tightly in his hand. The screen displayed an exciting chapter from Tomato Free Novels—"People in Ultraman: The Beginning of Plunder and Integration."

Just as he was engrossed in the gripping plot of the novel, an unintentional switch brought his gaze to the news screen in the Bilibili live stream.

The news report detailed the series of action plans currently being devised by the defense forces and the objectives they are attempting to achieve.

At this moment, Duolue, as if possessed by some mysterious force, couldn't help but imitate Cerebro's unique tone and shouted, "I feel great!"

This sudden shout not only excited him greatly, but also completely released the joy deep in his heart.

At this moment, he was completely absorbed in the fantasy world he had created, and he had even carefully planned in his mind how to bully others.

Just then, a crisp and rhythmic knocking broke the tranquil atmosphere inside the house.

dong dong dong...

The sound gradually approached from afar.

Upon hearing the sound, Duolue quickly got up and walked towards the door, gently turning the handle to open it.

Standing outside the door was the beautiful and charming Yuka. She had a smile on her face, and her eyes revealed a hint of shyness and anticipation.

Before Duolue could even speak, Jiehua interjected, "Oh! I didn't expect to see you here. Please invite me in. We can chat and pass the time together."

Upon hearing this, Duolue was slightly taken aback at first, then nodded knowingly and replied with a smile, "Haha, of course, no problem, dear Miss Jiehua, please come in. But let me make it clear beforehand, I originally just wanted to have a normal conversation with you like friends, I never intended to do anything out of line. But since you've taken the initiative to suggest chatting in bed, then I'll gladly oblige!"

As he spoke, he stepped aside to make way for him, gesturing an invitation.

Jiehua wasn't angry or embarrassed by Duolue's slightly teasing words. Instead, she gave him a playful glare, then walked lightly into the room and headed straight for the large bed.

Seeing Jiehua's graceful and poised demeanor, Duolue's lips curled up, revealing a subtle smile.

Because he knew that even if some unexpected situation occurred, he could easily resolve any problem with his ability to rewind time.

With that thought in mind, he closed the door without hesitation and followed closely behind Jiehua to the bedside...

His gaze sharpened, and he instantly activated his mysterious and unpredictable puppet-controlling ability. An invisible force surged forth like a tide, precisely enveloping Jiehua.

In the blink of an eye, Jiehua became as if she had lost her soul. Her body became stiff and her eyes were empty and lifeless. She was completely reduced to a cold puppet, at the mercy of Duolue.

At this moment, the man and woman are alone in the room, but the atmosphere is unusually strange and quiet.

The room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. Surprisingly, despite being so close, the two did not cross any lines.

Duolue continued to sit leisurely on the soft, comfortable sofa, his body slightly leaning back, as if isolated from the whole world.

He rested one hand lightly on the armrest, while the other hand gripped his phone tightly. His eyes were glued to the screen, completely absorbed in the captivating plot of the novel.

At this moment, Duolue seemed to have forgotten everything around him, including Jiehua standing to the side. For him, only the novel in his hands could bring him true relaxation and pleasure.

As for Yuka, he completely ignored her, as if she didn't exist in the room at all.

Dear readers, do you really expect to see Duolue and Jiehua embark on a romantic and sweet journey together? Think again.

The scene shifts to Yaohui. He's wearing a brand-new guard uniform, standing listlessly at his post, muttering to himself about how tedious his new job is.

He tilted his head slightly, his gaze falling on the white clouds floating in the sky. The clouds were of various shapes, some like cute little animals, and others like majestic mountains.

Just then, Haruki's thoughts drifted involuntarily to his former comrades-in-arms—Sevengar, Windom, and the mighty King Joe.

Recalling his past experiences, Yaohui's mood grew increasingly heavy.

In particular, the comforting words that Duolue had said to him earlier kept echoing in his mind.

He sighed deeply and muttered to himself, "Duolue, what can I do to truly prove myself?"

Just as Haruki was lost in thought, completely immersed in his own world, a sudden, sharp pain came from his back!

It turned out that Yoko had quietly walked up behind him at some point and reached out to gently pat his back in a friendly manner.

"It hurts!"

While lost in thought, Yao Hui was completely unprepared when he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his shoulder. This unexpected slap really startled him.

Like a startled rabbit, he turned around abruptly, looking behind him with a face full of terror.
