Chapter 137 Dr. Nezu
Chapter 137 Dr. Nezu
Xincheng's anger surged violently in his heart like a raging undercurrent; this emotion did not arise out of thin air without any reason.
Not long ago, Mayumi's youthful face was filled with fear and worry. Her boyfriend almost boarded that flight and nearly lost his life.
At that critical moment, the slightest mistake would have meant the loss of Mayumi's beloved, and Shinjo himself almost couldn't keep his promise to Mayumi—to never let her shed a tear.
Misfortune never comes singly. The long-lost friends A-Qian and A-Cheng, who had planned to meet up, were happily planning their return trip. They had booked their tickets and packed their luggage in advance, but due to the chaos caused by Gazot, their trip was forced to be postponed indefinitely.
The reunion that everyone had been eagerly anticipating vanished, leaving them only to sigh helplessly on both ends of the phone.
The situation became increasingly dire. In order to protect the extremely dangerous and crucial Zelda gas and prevent it from falling into enemy hands and causing a major disaster, the commander had no choice but to confront the monster head-on. The situation was so critical that it was suffocating.
In that fierce battle, Daigo was seriously injured while protecting everyone and safeguarding peace.
Blood stained his clothes, and every wound tugged at Xincheng's heart.
The commander went directly into the emergency room.
The old man's face was weathered, his wrinkles revealing weariness and self-reproach. Seeing Xincheng's face full of resentment and unwillingness, he felt guilty and slowly lowered his head.
He understood that this disaster had caused Xincheng too much pain—the injury of close friends, the disruption of plans, and the danger faced by those he protected. The unspoken apologies could only be silently deposited in the air with the act of bowing his head.
Lin Yeming stopped Xincheng's outstretched hand and said, "Xincheng, calm down!"
Daigo, whose arm was wrapped in bandages, also used his other hand to block Shinjo.
"Xincheng, find out what's going on first."
“I am indeed Nezu. I am here to tell you that the strange bird is here to destroy Zelda Gas.”
Lina: "What did you say?"
Dr. Nezu stated definitively, "That strange bird was actually Sila."
"You know that monster?" Shinjo asked instinctively, somewhat surprised.
"This bird should have died in that fire twenty years ago, along with my daughter, probably because of a mutation caused by the Zerda gas."
"It must have witnessed Mami being engulfed in the fire, which is why it hates Zildar Gas so much."
"Please, you must stop Sila, please!"
Dr. Nezu bowed to the three of them and then turned to leave.
Lin Yeming asked worriedly, "Where are you going? To the hospital?"
"Dr. Nezu, you're not feeling well right now. Why don't you go to the hospital to get checked out?"
He looked at Lin Yeming and nodded, saying, "Thank you, young man. I still have things I must do; those studies must be completed."
Shin-chan didn't understand. Was his research really that important now?
He stepped forward, looked the other man straight in the eye, and demanded, "Research? What research are you still doing now? Your daughter was the one killed by Zelda gas!"
"How can you be considered a father?"
Seeing that Shinjo was about to make another move, Daigo quickly stopped him: "Shinjo, don't get excited!"
Lin Yeming finally remembered; this was Xila's story.
"Dr. Nezu, are you still researching to destroy Zlda gas?"
"what?"
Upon hearing this news, Xincheng was slightly taken aback, and then apologized rather embarrassedly.
"I'm so sorry, I didn't know that."
Dr. Nezu kept his head slightly lowered. He was used to this kind of thing, and he was also very sorry about the Zerda gas incident.
“It’s alright, I know that what I did was indeed a grave sin.”
"To atone for some of my sins, as long as I am alive, I must do something to make amends."
"I need to study it quickly, I'm afraid I won't have enough time."
Lin Yeming knew why he said that, because the other party was just holding on for the last breath. Once that breath was gone, his illness would be like a landslide, and his body would collapse.
Daigo nodded solemnly and said, "We will definitely stop Sira."
Shinjo watched Dr. Nezu's departing figure, his heart filled with mixed emotions. The anger that had just surged within him had completely dissipated, replaced by deep respect and a touch of bitterness. He knew all too well the heavy burden the doctor had carried along his journey: the pain of losing loved ones, the self-blame for the disaster caused by his research, yet he still persevered as the clock ticked down his life, striving to do everything in his power to save it.
"New City, am I still considered a member of the Victory Team?" Lin Yeming's voice rang out calmly.
A smile appeared on Xincheng's lips as he looked at Lin Yeming and said, "It's good that you're back safe and sound."
"Of course you're on the Victory Team."
"What's wrong? Why are you suddenly asking about this?"
Daigo suddenly remembered something and asked, "Yoru, do you have any ideas about the situation here?"
Lin Yeming nodded without saying anything, but instead had his men stop Dr. Nezu from leaving.
Captain Hibi, who was standing next to him, quickly got into the car and chased after them.
He messaged Hibby to bring the Doctor to the command center when the time came.
The others also returned to the command room with him.
Yumi Kenmura returned to her research lab.
Lin Yeming already had a general idea.
With his purification abilities, he can definitely awaken Silas's rationality; the rest will be relatively easy to handle.
"Yoru, now that we've repelled the monster, wouldn't it be better to let Dr. Nezu continue his research?"
Lina, unaware of Lin Yeming's plans, asked him directly.
Xin Cheng frowned, his eyes full of doubt: "Ye Ming, don't do anything rash. Your health is more important. You've been missing for a long time. Why don't you recover first?"
Lin Yeming remained calm and patted Xincheng on the shoulder: "Xincheng, don't worry, I know my body, I'm in good shape."
"Sierra Nevada has suffered such a devastating blow that its resentment runs deep. Even if we repel it this time, it will return sooner or later. We cannot fight it every time."
"And are you sure you really repelled it?"
"So many years have passed, why did it appear? It can only be for Zelda gas."
"Dr. Nezu wants to destroy Zildar Gas, Sila wants to destroy Zildar Gas, and although the GUTS team is there to protect it, you also want to destroy Zildar Gas, right?"
"Our goals are clearly the same!"
After saying that, Lin Yeming stopped and waited for the automatic door to open. He looked inside and saw the happy expressions on the faces of the other people.
The group sat down, and soon Captain Hibiki led Dr. Nezu into the command room. The doctor looked haggard, his body hunched over, yet he exuded a stubbornness.
