Working as a consultant in the Ultra Universe

Chapter 2024: Should I Do It or Will You?

Once a consensus is reached, the rest is easy.

Lucia and Zara had little objection to using themselves as bait. After learning that Gu Chen and his team would provide them with the best protective measures and give a live demonstration, they had no objections at all, and were even more eager than the members of the GUTS team.

However, ambushing the Muzhen aliens is not something that can be done immediately.

Choosing an ambush location and devising an ambush tactic both require time, and Lucia and Zara also need to rest well to adjust their condition.

That night, under the protection of the GUTS team, Lucia and Zara slept soundly.

The Muzhen aliens were quite accommodating; they didn't launch a night raid on the TPC Far East headquarters. Instead, they secretly gathered information to see what people or things on their planet could pose a threat to them.

Soon, information about Ultraman Tiga, the Warrior of Light, came into the view of the Muzhen aliens.

Under the pitch-black night sky, the Muzhen alien's spaceship was hidden in the clouds, while he himself stood in front of the control panel inside the spaceship, watching the images playing on the virtual screen, feeling a little heavy-hearted.

Since all he could collect were widely circulated video materials, the Mujin alien was somewhat unsure about Tiga's specific strength.

Meanwhile, after collecting various descriptions and evaluations of Ultraman Tiga from Earthlings, the Muzhen aliens vaguely felt that Ultraman Tiga had a significant resemblance to a mysterious legend passed down from ancient times on their planet.

However, the Wood-Pure Starman did not know the specifics of that legend, because their planet controlled the legend, and people of his level could not know too much.

Even so, it was enough for the Muzhen aliens at this moment.

Upon learning of the activities of warriors of light like Tiga on Earth, the Mujin alien made up his mind—to kill his prey whenever he had the chance, and after completing his hunting mission, he would immediately leave the planet and report the relevant information about Tiga.

As for whether a large-scale interstellar fleet will invade Earth later, that's not something the Muzhen aliens should worry about.

Thinking of this, the Wood-Pure Starman glanced silently at the location of his two hunting targets, then went to rest without saying a word.

The target is under the protection of an international organization called TPC. To be on the safe side, the Muzhen aliens decided it was best not to take action until they had a thorough understanding of the organization.

And so, the night passed peacefully.

The next day, after a good rest, the group immediately began their operation against the Muzhen aliens.

Megumi and Noriyama temporarily lent their Necklace of Light to Lucia and Zara, and then Gu Chen led the team to take the two of them to a deserted island.

In fact, Gu Chen felt that the best place to fight was his Time Island, which was his base of operations, and he was certain that the Muzhen aliens would never return.

However, because Time Island was too close to the TPC Far East Headquarters, Gu Chen had no choice but to choose another deserted island as the battle location to prevent the Muzhen aliens from falling into the trap.

……

“Lucia, Zara, from now on you can move around freely on this island as usual, while we will hide in the shadows to avoid being discovered by the Muzhen aliens.”

"Once the Muzhen aliens show themselves and attack you, we, who are hiding in the shadows, will immediately appear and take action against them."

"That's the general action plan. What do you think?"

On the deserted island, Gu Chen led Lucia and Zara off the transport plane and spoke to them.

Lucia shook her head and said, "We have no problem, we'll do whatever you say."

Zara immediately echoed, "Me too!"

Gu Chen nodded and said, "Okay, that's fine then. You're free to do as you please now."

After receiving Gu Chen's permission, Lucia and Zara immediately set off and quickly disappeared into the dense forest.

After watching them leave, Gu Chen returned to the transport plane and then disappeared into the horizon.

To ensure that the Muzhen aliens will fall for the trap, it is essential to prevent any TPC fighters from appearing around the deserted island.

This means that at this moment, there are really only Lucia and Zara on the deserted island.

As for the members of the GUTS team, some of them traveled to the waters near Huangdao by submarine, and then landed on the deserted island from the shore wearing diving equipment.

The other group piloted the TAC Airo fighter jets specially provided by Gu Chen, lurking beneath the waters near the deserted island.

Unfortunately, the Victory Flying Swallow lacks underwater operational capabilities, so Gu Chen had no choice but to make this arrangement to ensure the GUTS team could perform its combat duties effectively in the upcoming operations.

On the transport plane, Gu Chen pressed the communication button and said, "Commander, Lina, how's your familiarity with piloting the TAC Spaceship going?"

Soon, Nanase Rena's confident voice came through the communication channel: "Leave it to me, Advisor. I'm the ace pilot of the GUTS team. I can even perfectly pilot the Victory Flying Swallow. I can definitely handle the TAC Spaceship!"

Gu Chen had no doubt about Lina's piloting talent. In addition, the fighters of the Showa Space Defense Force were all very simple to operate, without as many fancy buttons as the Victory Flying Swallow, so the operation difficulty was not high.

I believe that Nanase Rena and Munakata Seiichi will be able to master the TPC Spaceship after just a few tries.

It's unclear how much combat power Munakata Seiichi and his crew can utilize from the TAC Spaceship without the Victory Flying Swallow's combat support system.

……

Time passed second by second, and Tetsuo Shinjo and Daigo Madoka, who were in charge of ground operations, also secretly landed on the deserted island via submarine.

"Advisor, Commander, Daigo and I have reached our designated combat positions."

After changing into his combat uniform, Shinjo Tetsuo reported to Gu Chen and the others.

"Understood. You two will act according to the situation. A battle could break out at any time. Make sure to provide support for Lucia and the others."

Gu Chen's voice immediately rang out.

"understand!"

After finishing his report, Tetsuo Shinjo turned off the communication, then looked at Daigo Madoka and asked with a smile, "Daigo, this time, should you or I handle the Mokujin aliens?"

Daigo Madoka thought for a moment and said somewhat shyly, "I'll do it. After all, the advisor said that it's not suitable for you to show yourself right now. You should remain hidden in the shadows as a secret force."

Upon hearing this, Tetsuo Shinjo looked slightly disappointed, but he didn't say anything. He simply patted Daigo Madoka on the shoulder, indicating that the battle was in his hands.
