Chapter 159 Horii's Feelings
Lin Yeming looked at Horii, whose face was flushed, and felt a little strange.
What's wrong with this guy? He's so happy.
Has some invention been completed?
Lin Yeming couldn't help but ask, "Horie, what's making you so happy? Have you overcome some technical difficulties or come up with a new invention?"
Lina chimed in, "You're right, you're acting a bit strange today."
Megumi smiled and turned to look at Horii.
Even Ye Rui stopped for a moment, looking curious.
Today, Daigo and Shinjo will be patrolling in the Victory Flying Swallow No. 1, while Lucia and Zara will be accompanying Munakata to investigate an urban legend called the White Fox Forest.
So Lin Yeming and a few others stayed at the base.
As the number of people decreased, Horii's expression became impossible to hide.
Horii made a funny face upon hearing this.
It's as if it's saying, "Finally, someone asked me..."
He chuckled and walked up to Lin Yeming, lowering his voice mysteriously: "Hey, this is even better than an invention! I just got word that Qianhe's father is coming back."
Recently, Horii and Chizuru's relationship has been heating up rapidly, making the single Shinjo unable to stand it, so he chose to go on patrol with Daigo.
As a result, Lina stayed at the base.
Upon hearing this, Lin Yeming's eyes widened instantly, genuinely happy for his friend: "This is wonderful news! No wonder you're so happy."
Lina stepped forward and gently punched Horii on the shoulder: "You're doing great, achieving success in both love and career. Now you have something to look forward to."
Jujian Hui nodded slightly, her eyes full of relief: "Make sure you prepare well for the welcome, and don't let anything go wrong. I'll approve your leave then."
Norizuki cheered him on from the sidelines, jokingly saying, "Horie, you'd better work harder and try to achieve your goal soon."
Horii scratched his head, unable to hide his smile: "I've thought it all out. Once Chizuru's father returns, I'll pay him a formal visit and finalize things."
As he was talking, he became somewhat happy again.
Lin Yeming noticed his hesitation and asked, "Are you a little nervous?"
Horii nodded, looking embarrassed, and said, "The time is getting closer, but I don't know how to face the other person."
"Don't worry, Horii, with your abilities, you will definitely gain Dr. Jiang Qi's approval." Lina said without hesitation, thinking about Horii's strength.
Ye Rui didn't know what to say, so he just echoed Lina and then stopped talking.
Megumi Kijima: "No problem, the Victory Team members are good enough to perform anywhere!"
"As far as I know, Dr. Jiang Qi hasn't been back for a long time, has he?"
Horii nodded and shared what he knew: "Dr. Jiang Qi and his team went to explore Jupiter several years ago."
"This time, they were only brought back because of Director Sawai's strict order."
"as well as…"
Upon hearing the information Horii provided, Lin Yeming knew that he had indeed conducted his own investigation.
It's good that he did his homework, but he still scared him a little.
"Horie, if Dr. Ezaki comes back and finds that his daughter is about to be taken away by a strange man, how do you think he will feel?"
Horii's expression froze upon hearing this, then her face paled, and her voice trembled slightly: "Don't...don't scare me like that. I'm already feeling very anxious, and you're saying this..."
Seeing his appearance, everyone couldn't help but laugh.
Lina remembered that her father had asked her if she had someone she liked.
She was very frank about it, but only said that she liked someone from the GUTS team, without mentioning a specific name. However, she felt that her father knew who it was.
I just don't know if Daigo's family will accept me.
This is what she's most worried about right now.
With the help of Lin Yeming and Ju Jianhui, their relationship has become quite clear.
Megumi cleared her throat, her smile fading, and said seriously, "Alright, enough joking around. Horii, just be yourself and show your true self. Dr. Eizaki will definitely see your sincerity towards Chizuru and your sense of responsibility towards our GUTS team."
Horii took a deep breath and nodded emphatically: "Yes, Captain, I understand!"
Lina listened intently, deciding to let Horii try it first, and then she would learn slowly.
At that moment, Daigo's voice rang out from the command room.
"Calling headquarters! This is Victory Flying Swallow No. 1."
Lin Yeming and Ju Jianhui exchanged a glance, both of them seeing surprise in each other's eyes.
Looking at the alarm on the large screen, Ye Rui said, "Unidentified flying object detected entering Earth's atmosphere. Satellite images are being collected..."
Kijima Megumi pressed the communication button and said, "Headquarters received."
Daigo's voice was urgent: "Unidentified flying object detected!"
"Ye Rui was also detected."
"Can you see the specific appearance of that UFO over there?"
Daigo: "Captain, this UFO looks like an airplane, but it's too big. We're currently at an altitude of 20,000 meters, and it's descending at Mach 4."
"Is it possible to predict the landing location?"
Shinjo added, "Given the current situation, they might land near Kashima Beach."
Megumi calmly ordered, "Maintain distance, continue to observe, and absolutely do not act rashly. Wait for support." "Understood!" Daigo replied.
Ye Rui's fingers flew across the keyboard, and satellite images quickly appeared on the screen. The unidentified flying object was spindle-shaped, its surface shimmering with an eerie light, and its material was indiscernible.
Horii frowned, temporarily putting aside his nervousness about meeting the parents, and his professional instincts kicked in: "Judging from the energy reaction, this thing is not simple. It might be after Earth's resources."
Lin Yeming nodded: "Regardless of its purpose, we need to figure out its structure and weaknesses as soon as possible, prepare our weapons, and be ready to strike at any time." Lina clenched her fist: "We absolutely cannot let it run rampant on Earth."
At this moment, Munakata also received the message and his voice came through the communicator: "No abnormalities have been found in the White Fox Forest yet. It should be said that it's just rumors. We're heading back to provide support immediately." Kijima Megumi quickly coordinated: "Okay, everyone speed up! We must control the situation before this UFO causes any major trouble!"
"understand!"
The others quickly moved out, leaving only Lin Yeming, Ju Jianhui, and Ye Rui at the scene.
"Ye Ming, what do you think is the reason this time?"
Lin Yeming said with a somewhat solemn expression, "This time it's definitely a monster. At this speed, it's probably not an ordinary monster."
"In short, let's prepare for the evacuation first."
Megumi had a keen sense that the other person seemed a little strange, as if they were hiding something from her.
However, she couldn't say it outright, so she could only agree and give other instructions.
