Ultraman: A good pilot doesn't choose his own Ultraman.

Chapter 189, 188. What can ordinary people do? (First update)

"Ring ring!"

After the little girl in red shoes disappeared, Jiang Yu had just walked near the motorcycle when his phone, which was in his pants, suddenly started ringing incessantly.

When I took it out, the caller ID showed it was Daigo.

Jiang Yu pressed the answer button with a wry smile, presumably because Da Gu had some doubts.

He promised to support Mebius, but he never showed up in the end.

Daigo must have thought he was a deserter.

"Hello, is this Jiang Yu?!"

"Yes, it's me."

"Great, we've finally made contact. In the future, he—"

"I see it, the future will turn into bronze statues."

However, there's nothing I can do now.

Inside the shelter, Da Gu, sensing something amiss in Jiang Yu's tone, frowned, a nameless fear creeping into his heart.

Jiang Yu is Ultraman, how could he be—

If you can't do anything about it, what happened?

"There's nothing we can do about it—"

Faced with Da Gu's somewhat cautious question, Jiang Yu spoke frankly.

"That's right, the mastermind just came after me and took away my ability to transform."

I'm sorry, I'm just an ordinary person now.

Jiang Yu put down his phone with a sense of loss, hung up the call, got on his motorcycle, and looked up at the gloomy sky.

I've always wanted to awaken Daigo and the others, to remind them of when they fought as Ultraman.

Now, he's become an ordinary person himself, completely powerless to change anything.

Suddenly I understand why Hayata and the others refused to believe it; miracles are always rare.

Ordinary people living ordinary lives is the norm.

Knowing too much and having to face crises beyond one's capabilities can be a form of torment.

The monster has truly appeared. What can ordinary people do?

After taking one last look at the bronze statue of Ultraman Mebius, Jiang Yu started his motorcycle and headed to the shelter.

The howling wind filled his ears, and in Jiang Yu's sight, the streets, which were usually bustling with people, were deserted; they must have all gone to take refuge.

Fortunately, the preparations that Sawai and his team made in advance were ultimately effective.

At least everyone was able to evacuate safely in advance, and most people survived.

Ordinary people can't do anything —

"Womeng, Dunzi, are you alright?"

At the shelter, Fujimiya, with Yoshii Reiko, discovered Takayama Gamu and Sasaki Atsuko sitting in a corner.

I looked a little tired, but I still managed to cheer myself up and replied, "Ah, Dunzi and I are both fine, it's just that helping to evacuate everyone just now took a bit of our energy."

"But what about you, Fujimiya?"

I noticed Fujimiya's right hand, which was wrapped in bandages, and my gaze was filled with surprise.

As a senior researcher, shouldn't Fujimiya have been given priority protection during the evacuation?

"Um, Fujimiya took the day off today, and he happened to be picking me up."

We were caught in the aftershocks of the monster's attack during our evacuation, and the car overturned. "Because you were protecting me," Fujimiya Saikiyo Reiko said apologetically, but Fujimiya hugged her tightly, interrupting the conversation.

"Reiko, what are you talking about? Protecting you is what I should do, isn't it?"

Speaking of which, Meng, how is your friend Daigo doing?

"Daigo? He has successfully taken refuge, and Asuka is over there too."

Fujimiya, do you know Daigo?

I was a little surprised. Fujimiya usually stays at the research center, so how could he possibly have the opportunity to meet Daigo?

"Oh, I ran into him when I went out for a walk today."

He had a minor accident with his bicycle, so I gave him a ride. I'm glad he's alright.

Fujimiya felt a little more at ease. Just now, he seemed to hear a voice he had never heard before telling him that Daigo was very important.

With Agul unresponsive, he had to grasp everything that needed to be taken seriously.

My dream, can you remember it?

In a large shelter, Sawai gazes at Mebius, who was about to defeat monsters but was eventually turned into a bronze statue by a strange alien.

Did Ultraman fail again?

The enemy seems to be more powerful than we imagined.

And that Ultraman, I think his name is Tiga, why didn't he appear?

"Secretary-General, we have made contact with Mr. Jiang Yu."

Megumi, dressed in a smart suit, hurried over to Sawai's side, her nervous gaze involuntarily following the statue of Mebius.

"What did Mr. Jiang Yu say?"

Sawai looked intently at the somewhat impatient Kijima Megumi and asked in a deep voice.

"As for Mr. Jiang Yu, he said that the mastermind behind the scenes directly attacked him and stripped him of his transformation power."

He's just an ordinary person now, so let's not give up.

Megumi was somewhat bewildered. Even Ultraman was being manipulated by the mastermind behind the scenes; what difference did it make if ordinary people like them didn't give up?

use.

"Ordinary people, okay, notify all countries and regions."

All armed forces were mobilized spontaneously to deal with any possible monster crisis.

On the Japanese side, the defense force is on standby at all times, ready to attack as soon as the monster appears.

Notify the major nuclear powers that when humanity's conventional forces are unable to stop the monster attacks, they should deplete their nuclear stockpiles.

"But Secretary-General, that would—"

Kijima was somewhat speechless. As a criminal from the war, Japan knew better than anyone the power of nuclear weapons.

The first time in human history that nuclear weapons were used in actual combat was in Japan.

Even if nuclear weapons could actually eliminate the monsters, the humans in the vicinity would have no chance of survival.

"Intermediary assistant, the enemy is here to destroy humanity."

They keep humans around just to instill fear in us.

We don't have Ultraman's power, but it's necessary to show the enemy our determination.

If you want to destroy humanity's future, you must first prepare for our desperate counterattack!

Sawai looked up at the sky with a deep gaze. Humans had no means of escape; they were all trapped like turtles in a barrel.

If you are not prepared to perish together with your enemy, you can only watch helplessly as they toy with you to your death.

Even humans have things they are capable of doing.

"I understand, Secretary General!"

Go and notify them now!

After figuring out the key point, Megumi nodded vigorously, tightening her face and trying hard not to cry.

Humanity was perfectly fine just a while ago, so why has it suddenly reached this desperate situation?

Megumi quickly left, while Sawai continued to watch Mebius, whose presence was even weaker under the night sky, her gaze becoming increasingly firm, as if gleaming with some kind of light.

Ultraman, humanity will never be without a future!

At the city hall, countless staff members were busily moving supplies, which were about to be distributed to various shelters.

The mayor of Yokohama was directing operations on-site, while Munakata, with a solemn expression, reported on the situation in various locations.

"Mayor, all citizens have been evacuated, with only a few casualties. However, due to the monster, many fires have broken out in various places."

"Zongfang, arrange for firefighters to go to the disaster area for rescue. We must not let the disaster spread to the shelters."

By the way, how's the Secretary-General's side?

"The Secretary-General is in good health. I heard that the defense forces have already been mobilized to prepare for the next possible monster disaster."
