Chapter 28 Responsibilities of TPC
The blue motorcycle was driving rapidly on the Tomei Expressway. The helmet blocked the oncoming hurricane, allowing Chiba Makoto to accelerate as much as he wanted, fearless of the strong wind, and flew forward. Cars were left behind.
Driving here is on the left, so Chiba Makoto, who is used to driving on the right, was quite uncomfortable at first. He didn’t dare to drive fast for fear that he would not be able to react and make a wrong turn, but after driving for so long , I have almost adapted to driving on the left, and the only thing left is to develop a habit.
This expressway is built near the sea. You can see the vast ocean without turning your head. The wind blowing from the sea carries a unique fishy smell. People with a keen sense of smell may be surprised when they first smell it. There will be some discomfort, but Chiba Makoto has no such worries, he is very adaptable
'Zhi! ’
The screeching brake sound sounded, and the tires rubbed two winding black marks on the road. Chiba Cheng tried hard to maintain the balance of the motorcycle, quickly parked the car on the side of the road, then hurriedly took off his helmet and pulled it off. He covered his mouth and nose with his clothes before he dared to take a few breaths.
"What is it? It stinks so much." Chiba Cheng felt that his stomach was churning and he felt like vomiting. He was just breathing normally when he suddenly smelled a stench, like rotten eggs or stinky tofu. , salted fish and herring were mixed together and fermented for two days and two nights. It was really smelly to the extreme.
After retching a few times, Chiba Makoto felt better. He quickly opened his backpack and found a pack of masks. After putting it on, he felt better.
"Isn't this coming from that monster?!" This idea came to Chiba Cheng's mind. Thinking about it, it should be very possible, otherwise where would this strong rancid smell come from? In this case, he is not far from his destination.
At this moment, the roar of engines came from overhead. When I looked up, I saw several rotary-wing transport planes passing by at a very low altitude and flying towards the southwest beach. It was obvious that the monster was there.
I didn't dare to drive too fast before setting off. If the stench broke through the mask, it would be uncomfortable. Chiba Makoto had already begun to think about getting a gas mask. The stench could be smelled from such a distance. Wouldn't it be better if it got closer? More uncomfortable.
Before he reached the next exit, he saw a hill lying on the beach in the distance, with several Metropolitan Police helicopters hovering around it, causing the passing vehicles to stop and want to take a look at it. What is it?
The loudspeaker of the helicopter in the sky 'explained' to them, repeatedly shouting: "This place has been blocked, please leave as soon as possible!"
Chiba Makoto was very worried I'm glad I came early, otherwise I probably wouldn't be able to come now. The surrounding roads must have been blocked by the TPC and no one was allowed to approach. After all, this is a monster. The more people watching, the more trouble it will cause. The victory team will be restrained and afraid to use great power. attack.
In order to get as close to the beach as possible, Chiba Makoto drove off the highway and planned to approach from the country road. In each small town along the way, many people, old women and children, ran inland because it was so smelly. , closing the doors and windows at home and wearing a mask cannot completely block the offensive stench.
The most common things I heard along the way were curses and complaints, cursing why the monster's body was floating nearby, and complaining about the work efficiency of the TPC. The stinking monster had not been removed yet.
With the compactness and flexibility of the motorcycle, we turned east and west to reach the beach. The muddy beach, which was usually rarely visited by people, was bustling with activity at the moment. TPC staff and police officers from the nearby police station were wearing thick coats. Wearing masks and enduring the overwhelming stench, we set up a cordon and tried to persuade the reporters who came around to leave the place as soon as possible. If this was a living monster, everyone would definitely run as far as they could, but this was just the corpse of the monster. Apart from the extremely unpleasant smell, it posed no threat. Reporters who cared about the news wanted to run to the monster. Shoot around.
The hot topic in recent times is monsters and Ultraman. The giant named Ultraman Tiga by TPC, and the big discussion about whether it is an enemy or a friend, has been going on. For a month, both sides insisted on their own opinions and the quarrel was endless.
As for monsters, the opinions are very unanimous. The only two points that can be discussed are the disasters caused by monsters and why monsters appear. After a month of debate, there is no result, but there are many so-called so-called Experts on monster disaster reviews and scholars who study monsters.
These practitioners, who have only appeared for less than a month, frequently appear on relevant TV programs, speak sensational words, and publish eye-catching articles. They use the popularity of monsters to bulge their pockets and increase their popularity.
There were too many reporters surrounding them, and persuasion was completely useless. TPC had no choice but to ask them not to get too close, so as to affect the TPC's investigation work. These reporters almost took pictures, but at better, they started broadcasting live.
The Victory Team had already arrived at the scene. The two Feiyans were loaded with weapons, but when they arrived, they discovered that it was just the corpse of a monster. In the end, they returned to the base without firing a bullet, which made the nearby residents quite dissatisfied. , some people endured the stench and gathered near several tents set up by TPC, shouting loudly, demanding that TPC take away the monster corpse immediately.
The reporters seemed to have found an egg with a crack, and happily rushed over it to interview residents about their views on the monster:
A man covered his mouth and nose tightly with a mask and a towel. The middle-aged man yelled at the camera with an angry face: "Didn't TPC say they can protect us? It's been three or four hours, and they still let the monster's body lie here. What are they doing?"
Immediately the gray-haired old man next to him also shouted: "The monster has seriously affected our lives. My grandson keeps crying and crying."
A middle-aged man wearing a suit holding a briefcase grabbed the The microphone yelled: "I can't even work. I still have to pay off the loan for my house and car. If a monster destroys my house and crushes it, My car is all TPC’s fault. They are responsible for compensation.” I am very dissatisfied with the work of the TPC and believe that they have seriously neglected their duties. They failed to dispose of the monster's body for such a long time and allowed him to lie on the beach to rot.
Chiba Cheng couldn't help but sigh as he listened to the ear-splitting noise. The monster's huge size and terrifying destructive power filled the hearts of humans who faced the monster for the first time with uneasiness and panic, causing some people to Caught in a collective unconsciousness.
In fact, it’s not just monsters. Human beings will feel panic and uneasiness when facing unknown fields. For example, during the Industrial Revolution, machines replaced manual factories, which made many people worry about large-scale unemployment in society; and on the eve of the intelligent era, the same Many people are worried that if intelligent robots replace human workers, countless people will lose their jobs.
