Working as a consultant in the Ultra Universe

Chapter 2015 Locking Down the Lair

Gu Chen stood in front of the large screen, drew a circle on the screen, and said, "If nothing unexpected happens, the lair of the Crow People should be hidden in this area. With a thorough search, it won't take much time."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Then, Megumi turned to look at Seiichi Munakata and said, "Vice-Captain, I'll leave it to you."

Zongfang Chengyi nodded solemnly and said, "Yes!"

He then looked at Daigo Madoka and the others and said, "Everyone, let's go!"

"Yes!"

Daigo Madoka and the others immediately stood up and responded in unison.

Seeing this, Gu Chen also spoke up, "Everyone, let's go to Time Island together before we set off."

Everyone was taken aback by his words, and Megumi Kijima asked with some surprise, "Advisor, why is that?"

Gu Chen smiled and said, "Naturally, it's to upgrade everyone's weapons and equipment. And I'm not bragging, but the equipment in Showa Space does have some merits when it comes to exploration equipment."

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up.

They were familiar with the equipment of the Earth Defense Forces throughout the Showa era, especially those few enduring cutting-edge weapons. As a scientist, Masami Horii was extremely envious, and as an ace marksman, Tetsuo Shinjo was equally eager to acquire them.

While the others weren't as eager for the equipment of the Showa era Earth Defense Forces as the two of them, they were still accepting of it since it could improve the team's armed strength.

Upon hearing that Gu Chen's plan to send everyone to Time Island was actually this, Ju Jianhui was taken aback at first, then a happy smile appeared on her face, and she said, "I see. Then we'll have to trouble you, Consultant. Thank you so much."

Ever since the Silver Eagle was unveiled, Megumi knew that Gu Chen's Time Island possessed armed forces no weaker than TPC, and its level of sophistication might even surpass that of the current GUTS.

However, she did not make any demands on Gu Chen because of this. After all, Megumi Kijima was very clear-headed. They had no right or reason to ask Gu Chen to contribute the equipment of the Showa era Earth Defense Forces, not even in a trade.

If we were to say it out loud, it would damage our relationship.

However, Gu Chen's initiative to provide the equipment of the Showa Space Defense Forces to the members of the GUTS team is a different matter, and it also reflects Gu Chen's attitude towards GUTS and TPC.

I believe that Sawai Soichiro will reciprocate the favor once he learns of this, but I wonder if Gu Chen will like his way of doing so.

From Gu Chen's perspective, he provided those weapons and equipment without any ulterior motives or seeking any reward; he simply hoped that GUTS's operation would proceed more smoothly.

If it weren't for the fact that the scientists at the TPC Science and Technology Bureau were all extremely busy, he would have wanted to contribute the equipment for Reiko Kashiwamura and her team to study.

So Gu Chen really didn't think that much about it, but he didn't know if Sawai Soichiro would think so.

Immediately afterwards, two Victory Flying Swallows took off and landed on Time Island.

After a brief stop, the Victory Flying Swallow took off again, heading towards the city.

Soon, the Sherlock and Drum cars appeared on the city streets, while two Victory Swallows circled in the sky on alert.

……

"This should be it."

Looking through the window of the Sherlock car at a building that resembled ruins in the distance, Gu Chen spoke.

Even under the cover of night, Gu Chen could see a large number of crows circling above the building, and he wondered if they were attracted by the crow people.

"The detection equipment also indicates that there seems to be some kind of abnormal electromagnetic wave ahead. Advisor, what should we do next?"

Sitting in the driver's seat, Daigo Madoka glanced at the various detection devices he carried and then sought Gu Chen's opinion.

Upon hearing this, Gu Chen pressed the communication button on his helmet and said, "Commander, I will be taking Daigo and Shinjo into that abandoned building ahead. I'll leave you and Lina to keep watch outside."

Soon, Munakata Seiichi responded over the communication channel: "Okay, we will be on standby outside at any time. If there is any emergency, please notify us immediately and we will go to provide support."

Zong Fangcheng had no objection to Gu Chen's arrangements. Having read through almost all the files on the Showa Space Earth Defense Force, he had a thorough understanding of Gu Chen's command abilities.

If Gu Chen really wanted to take his place, Zongfang Chengyi would definitely give up his position as vice-captain and commander of the GUTS team to Gu Chen without hesitation.

Of course, that's impossible. After all, judging from his position within TPC, Gu Chen is not only an advisor to the GUTS team, but also the director of the Monster Bureau. His status in TPC is quite high. Why would he be interested in Munakata Seiichi's position as the vice-captain and commander of the GUTS team?

Soon, Tetsuo Shinjo arrived at the scene in his Drum car and joined Gu Chen and the others.

The three then formed a team, grabbed their weapons, and quickly entered the abandoned building where the crow people were hiding.

Although the number of people was small, their equipment was excellent. Especially after Gu Chen gave the GUTS team the Necklace of Light, Munakata Seiichi had no worries about their actions.

……

Inside the abandoned building, Madoka led the way, Shinjo Tetsuo kept watch from behind, and Gu Chen coordinated operations from the center, forming a standard three-person assault team formation.

Before engaging in battle with the Crow People, Gu Chen spoke up, "Xincheng, now it's time to test the results of your special training. Are you confident?"

Tetsuo Shinjo immediately replied, "Yes!"

Immediately, he realized what was happening and asked curiously, "Advisor, does that mean we're going to have to engage in close combat with the crow people? Don't we have guns?"

As he spoke, Tetsuo Shinjo raised the dunk shooting gun in his hand, his gaze sweeping over the Mars 133 ray gun in Gu Chen's hand.

Gu Chen nodded and said, "Indeed, we have guns, but the enemy isn't stupid. They'll definitely find an opportunity to swarm us and try to take us down. At that point, our guns will probably be hard to use."

Upon hearing this, Daigo Madoka's expression hardened slightly, and without turning his head, he asked, "So, advisor, you think there are many Crow People hiding here?"

Gu Chen nodded and said, "We can tell by looking at the life detector."

Upon hearing this, both Daigo Madoka and Tetsuo Shinjo glanced at the life detectors they carried, their faces showing surprise.

The instrument couldn't detect anything when it was outside, but once inside the building, the detector's response became much stronger.
