"Another monster has appeared!" the soldier shouted urgently.

"What!?" Field Marshal Strucker's eyes narrowed, and he snatched the headset from the soldier's hand, shouting into the base, "Speak! What are the details?!"

He needed to know every detail of any news related to monsters, because they were too dangerous.

Upon hearing his voice, specific information was immediately provided through the earpiece.

"The passage at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean is reacting again. Judging from the amplitude of the fluctuations, it's another Level 4 monster!"

"Damn it." Upon hearing this news, Marshal Stark's brows furrowed instantly.

His years of experience calmed him down immediately, and he gave the order: "Have the Chernobog prepare to support Sydney!"

"No, Marshal, this monster's target is not Sydney!"

"Not Sydney?" Marshal Steker asked, puzzled.

The previous monster was attacking Sydney, so logically this monster should be going to provide support.

"Its target...is Alaska!"

"Alaska?" Upon hearing the name, Marshal Strickland's mind instantly flashed to a certain person, and his eyes widened.

Raleigh Beckett is in Sitka, Alaska!

"Immediately dispatch the [Cherno Alpha] to Alaska, and have [Crimson Storm] prepare!"

No sooner had Marshal Stark finished speaking than the helicopter pilot asked, "Marshal, should we continue to Sitka?"

Their destination was Sitka, and if they continued onward, they would likely run into a monster.

Once they encounter a monster, the guns in their hands become mere toys.

However, Field Marshal Steck's attitude was very firm: "Continue!"

"Hurry, we must get to Sitka before the monster!"

He decided to race against the monster.

We must take Raleigh Beckett away before the monster appears!

Chapter 4: Monster Attack!

The Wall of Life is under construction in Sitka, Alaska.

Raleigh brought Natsuki to this construction site. Standing beneath countless steel structures, he stopped to explain the work to Natsuki.

Suddenly, a voice filled with extreme dissatisfaction broke through.

"My Mecha Boy!"

"How dare you be late today!"

A middle-aged American man wearing a heavy, dirty coat, a gray baseball cap, and stubble shouted loudly.

He squeezed past several workers wearing hard hats and came to Rory and Natsuki, his expression not friendly.

This is Miles, the shift leader for this construction site.

"Sorry, there was a little accident on the way today." Raleigh didn't give him a friendly look either, but considering that he still had to work for him, he could only tell the truth.

The unexpected encounter on the road was meeting Natsuki lying in the snow.

Under normal circumstances, he would have arrived at the construction site long ago.

“Now I have an unexpected surprise for you!” Shift leader Miles pointed at Raleigh, a malicious smile spreading across his face, his chubby cheeks making his stubble-covered chin look particularly round.

Upon hearing this, Raleigh's heart leaped into his throat.

He wondered if this damn guy was going to fire him.

No, it shouldn't be like that.

Right now, we're in dire need of manpower. So even if someone is late or absent, they can still come back to work the next day.

The reality was not beyond his expectations.

“Three workers who were working on top of the wall died yesterday, they fell to their deaths.” The shift leader, Miles, said this without any sympathy, as if it were nothing out of the ordinary, with a smile still on his face.

"This was unexpected, but it's definitely a pleasant surprise for you!"

"Three workstations on the top of the wall suddenly became available."

"When I was recruiting today, only one person was willing to go up and work. There are still two vacancies."

The shift leader, Miles, pointed at Raleigh and then moved to the side, pointing at Natsuki, who was wearing a green jacket.

When this guy saw Natsuki next to Raleigh, his eyes lit up immediately.

"Oh! My mecha boy!"

"Since you happened to bring another worker with you, I can forgive your lateness!"

"Two empty spaces, two workers, perfect!"

"Here you go, these are your ration cards. You're welcome!"

Miles immediately guessed that Natsuki was there to work, so he enthusiastically handed two food ration cards to Rory and patted him on the shoulder.

They were given absolutely no room to refuse.

After saying that, he walked between the two men and headed towards his office.

Looking at the scratched red ration card in his hand, Raleigh pursed his lips and sighed deeply.

"Okay, although it's dangerous, the reward at the top of the wall is indeed the highest."

These words drifted out of his mouth with a puff of white breath, it was unclear whether he was comforting himself or Natsuki.

Building the Wall of Life is no easy task. Every day, workers are accompanied by steel and snow. Moreover, with the current shortage of materials, the workers have very few protective measures. Wearing a hard hat is considered high-end. Every day, several workers fall from the wall and die.

Even so, countless people are eager to do this job.

They wanted a bite of choking bread, which would allow them to live a few more days instead of starving to death on the streets.

Working on the top of the wall is the most dangerous, but precisely because of this, every worker on the top of the wall is paid the highest salary, with enough money in their ration card to buy them several hot meals.

Just like Raleigh said before, this is an era of scarcity, an era that is called the apocalypse.

"Come do this job with me."

“You’re far more resistant to the cold than the average person, making you perfect for this job,” Raleigh said sincerely as he handed a ration card to Natsuki.

He couldn't bear to see Natsuki starve to death on the street, even though he had rescued her from the snow.

From his perspective, Natsuki is a mentally ill person who is relatively resistant to the cold, and quite pitiful.

"Hey, are you listening?" Raleigh asked, puzzled when he saw that Natsuki wasn't moving. He waved the ration card in front of Natsuki's eyes.

“Of course,” Xia Shu replied casually.

However, his gaze did not fall on Raleigh, but continued to be fixed on the black bracelet on his right wrist.

The bracelet is obsidian in color with a futuristic pattern and a diamond-shaped crystal set in the center, making it look like an Ultraman bracelet incorporating a lot of cutting-edge technology.

Now, a semi-transparent panel that only he could see appeared on the bracelet.

[Abnormal spatiotemporal fluctuations detected, built-in system startup in progress...]

Startup successful!

[Identity verification in progress... Verification successful!]

[Currently bound user: Natsuki, official member of the Space Garrison Headquarters of the Land of Light]

This system aims to help Ultra Warriors whose potential has been exhausted to unleash new potential, while also guiding users through a reward and punishment mechanism to become Ultra Warriors with excellent conduct who can set an example for future generations.

[Current top priority: Investigate the anomalous spacetime fluctuations in this universe and eliminate the culprits causing these fluctuations.]

[Please note that anomalous spatiotemporal fluctuations are approaching!]

[The decision-making task has been triggered!]

[Option 1: Escape human sight, find a secluded place to transform, repel the attacking enemies, and save lives. Reward: 6 hours of mental space training (Note: This is the correct option)]

Option Two: Ignore the rules of the Land of Light, transform in full view of everyone, repel the attacking enemies, and save people's lives. Penalty: 1 hour of hellish mental space training (Note: This is undoubtedly a wrong option)

[Note 1: This system has a built-in transformation function and soul binding]

[Note 2: I know you'll choose the wrong option given your personality, but I'm sure you won't like hellish training (Chief Director of the Space Science and Technology Bureau of the Land of Light)]

Good news: The largest cheat software developer in the Olympic arena has come up with something new!

Bad news: They're coming for me!

Looking at the rows of text on the panel, Natsuki immediately understood that every step of the process was Hikari's doing.

Natsuki would have to be out of her mind to listen to the culprit who destroyed her happy life.

Want to reform yourself?

Regardless of what happens next, Natsuki has decided to give Hikari a taste of his own medicine in this first decision-making task!

Hey, Xia!

"Good heavens, are you really a lunatic?!" Raleigh gasped as he watched Natsuki smile at a bracelet that looked like the Nike logo, his impression of Natsuki's mental state plummeting even further.

He shook his head.

I thought to myself that I should get back to work first.

If that doesn't work, I'll share some of my food with this poor guy.

Thinking this, Raleigh walked toward the cage containing the welding tools, brushed past the group of workers, opened the cage, and slung the backpack containing the welding gas cylinder over his shoulder.

He walked to the hoisting rope, preparing to use it to go up to the top of the wall to perform welding work.

But before he could fasten the rope, he heard a sound that echoed throughout the entire construction site.

"Waaah—waaah—"

Upon hearing the voice, Raleigh's eyes widened instantly, his face filled with disbelief as he looked in the direction from which the sound came.

All the other workers on the construction site, like him, were looking in that direction.

The sound of an air raid siren meant only one thing—a monster was coming!
