Furthermore, it is foreseeable that with the arrival of Blue Blood Blade and Sakura Saber, the scale of the branch base will expand even further, and the total population will climb past the threshold of one hundred thousand.

The personnel traffic involved in this means that even if it were only one-thousandth of the total each day, there would still be hundreds of people.

Private planes will be used for transport, so no resources will be wasted.

Luo Bing had been waiting on the side for a long time, but the person he was waiting for had yet to appear.

The four of them looked at each other in surprise.

It was clearly a bald big shot; with such a prominent feature, could they have possibly missed her?

It wasn't until a mature, beautiful older sister with long blue hair walked up to the four of them.

"Are you looking for me?"

The blue-haired woman's voice was somewhat languid, carrying a hint of indifference.

The group observed her carefully for a while and discovered...

It really seemed to be this woman.

Her facial features, appearance, and figure were all quite similar; it was just this long blue hair that made them hesitant to be certain for a moment.

Dr. Chen glanced at the few youngsters without saying a word.

She raised her right hand and swept it across the top of her head. Instantly, the long blue hair was removed, and a white, bald head appeared before everyone!

Very well, now it was confirmed; this was indeed that bald Dr. Chen!

The three girls present—whether it was the lively Lin Wange, the quiet Koizumi Junko, or the cold Lin Changge—were all stunned at this moment.

They glanced at the beautiful blue wig, then at Dr. Chen's smooth, bald scalp, finding it hard to accept for a moment.

Dr. Chen, however, was very calm and explained it as if it were nothing out of the ordinary:

"Growing hair is a very time-consuming thing, especially with long hair; it takes ten minutes to wash and groom every day."

"Wouldn't it be better to use that time to conduct two small experiments?"

"Therefore, being bald is most suitable for researchers. I am currently promoting this philosophy to other research institutes, but those old stubborn fools think I'm being unreasonable."

"Hmph, I think they are the ones being unreasonable."

After muttering to herself for a while, Dr. Chen put the wig back on.

She shifted her gaze, looked at the shocked Luo Bing, and said:

"Young man, don't be infatuated with me. I'm not in the mood to take care of a youngster like you."

"Men only hinder my research progress!"

"It's getting late. Take me to General Luo. I want to see if the place he prepared for me is fully equipped!"

Dr. Chen spoke with great familiarity, not treating herself as an outsider at all.

Titan Beasts and Extraterrestrial Monsters 2

Luo Bing glanced at Chen Yuxin's blue hair from time to time, feeling somewhat curious and wanting to sneak another peek at that bald head.

Although he already had the initial impression that all bald people were big shots.

But watching a blue-haired beauty lift her wig to reveal a smooth, shiny forehead.

The feeling was very strange.

Chen Yuxin was just like her hairstyle, revealing a decisive and efficient style. She did things without any hesitation and didn't waste any time on irrelevant matters.

She hadn't even caught her breath after getting off the private plane before she took the initiative to look for Old Luo.

As Luo Bing led the way, he wondered if Old Luo had anticipated this scene and had intentionally stepped aside to avoid it.

Well played, Old Luo. Looking at your thick eyebrows and big eyes, I didn't expect you to be so sly.

"I rushed over as soon as I received the news. I didn't have any other channels to get information on the way."

Dr. Chen asked softly:

"Has that Beast King appeared again since it acted early this morning?"

Luo Bing shook his head in response.

Dr. Chen didn't mind, instead frowning and muttering a few words to herself.

Luo Bing's body had been strengthened, and his hearing was the same.

He heard Dr. Chen muttering to herself:

"More keen on nocturnal activities?"

"There's too little evidence. I need to observe it a few more times before I can make a preliminary judgment."

Dr. Chen then asked another question:

"Are there any signs of activity from Yamata?"

Everyone scratched their heads in confusion.

Koizumi Junko responded softly:

"As far as I know, it has been staying inside Mount Fuji, sleeping without any movement."

Luo Bing asked at the appropriate moment:

"What is Yamata?"

Dr. Chen thought for a moment before answering:

"Before this Beast King appeared, Yamata was kept as a top-secret record in the archives of various countries and was never made public."

"Eight years ago, Yamata appeared for the first and only time. It strangled the monster 'Serrated Mammoth' that was passing through the Mount Fuji region, and then returned to Mount Fuji, where it has been sleeping ever since."

"The Sakurajima side reported to the outside world that this was a death match between monsters. Ordinary people only cared about whether that monster died, or if both of them died; they didn't pay attention to the details."

"When Yamata strangled the Serrated Mammoth, it displayed characteristics similar to the Beast King. It actively attacked the monster, but it did not actively attack humans."

"However, at that time, a ground counter-attack organization attacked Yamata as well, so they were wiped out by Yamata in the process. In the end, Yamata returned to Mount Fuji."

Dr. Chen introduced the information regarding Yamata to everyone while searching for a photo on her phone.

The photo showed the scene of a volcanic eruption at Mount Fuji, but beyond that, there was an even more shocking sight.

It was a fire-red giant serpent with eight heads, winding its way into the volcanic crater.

The longest head of the eight-headed giant serpent in the photo was even touching the scorching magma, yet it was completely unaffected; it even looked like it was enjoying itself.

Looking at the giant serpent's bright red skin and the way its heads were poking into the molten lava to play freely, one couldn't help but wonder:

Could it be that the blood flowing through this monster's veins is actually magma?

Dr. Chen put her phone away and continued with a calm expression:

"Yamata is extremely similar to the Eight-headed Serpent in myths and legends, which makes people wonder if this eight-headed giant serpent is the very one from those myths."

"It was also based on this Yamata that I proposed the Titan Beast hypothesis. However, because only this Yamata had been discovered at the time, and it subsequently returned to Mount Fuji to sleep until now, I had no other corroborating evidence, and the hypothesis could not be carried forward."

Speaking of this, Dr. Chen, who had been as calm as water, saw a glimmer of light appear in her eyes:

"And now, the appearance of the Beast King has made my hypothesis no longer so solitary. Besides Yamata, there are other research examples!"

Luo Bing listened silently, his eyes shifting without revealing any emotion.

Hearing this, Lin Changge asked:

"Dr. Chen, if your hypothesis is indeed established and you reach the conclusion that Titan Beasts belong to a neutral category, then what can be proven by just the current Yamata and the Beast King?"

Dr. Chen looked at Lin Changge with a hint of appreciation:

"You've touched on a crucial point. That's right, what does all of this prove?"

"Assuming Titan Beasts can coexist harmoniously with us humans and live together on this Earth, it proves that they, like us, are native inhabitants of this planet!"

"If they weren't native, these giant beasts would only need to push humanity out. Given our meager strength in the past, how could we have survived until now?"

"Therefore, I boldly assert that Titan Beasts are part of this planet just like us; they are native inhabitants, which is why they don't reject us!"

Dr. Chen continued:

"But those monsters with vicious natures are different! They are ferocious, combative, cruel, and bloodthirsty, hunting us humans to the death without cease!"

"Young Hero Pilots, think about it: if these monsters, who harbor such immense hatred for humanity, had been living on the Earth's surface hundreds or even thousands of years ago, how could we have survived back then?"

"Therefore, I boldly hypothesize that these monsters running rampant on Earth are all alien species—they are extraterrestrial invaders!"

Lin Wange fell into deep thought:

"Extraterrestrial species? Then where did they come from?"

Dr. Chen said with great certainty:

"Perhaps from the Underground World, or perhaps a portal to another world has appeared in the deep sea!"

"After monsters began appearing in large numbers over twenty years ago, humanity lost control of the oceans and has been on the defensive ever since."

"Initially, our experts speculated that these monsters were in a dormant state in the past, which is why they didn't appear, but that theory is becoming increasingly unbelievable."

"We need new evidence. We need to know the truth. And if we want that, we cannot sit idly by and wait for death; we must launch a counterattack on the ocean!"

"Titan Beasts like the Beast King are our hope for a counterattack!"

Dr. Chen's voice gradually grew impassioned:

"Do you know? In past legends, what was left behind were myths like the Eight-headed Serpent, the Kraken, and the Behemoth. These were very rare, isolated cases, and both the Eight-headed Serpent and the Beast King fit the images described in these myths."

"They are powerful, and they harbor goodwill toward humanity—or at the very least, a neutral attitude—and do not kill indiscriminately!"

"And they hold a hostile attitude toward the monsters! The Eight-headed Serpent didn't hesitate to strangle the Serrated Mammoth that passed by Mount Fuji, and the Beast King even traveled through the night to the Pacific Ocean, slaughtering four monsters in a single day!"

"These are the allies we need to win over!"

Hearing this, Lin Wange vaguely understood.

She looked at Dr. Chen and asked one more question:

"These should be classified, right? By telling us just like this, aren't you afraid of being held accountable?"

Dr. Chen remained extremely calm:

"These are indeed classified, but they won't remain that way for long."

"Titan Beasts like the Beast King and Yamata no Orochi may be rare, but they are definitely not isolated cases!"

"We will soon make the information regarding Titan Beasts public to the entire world, mobilizing global resources to search for them!"

"In the future, Titan Beasts will be the most resilient pillars in defending against monsters!"

Hearing this, Lin Wange muttered quietly:

"Mechs can do all of this, too!"

King of Monsters with Nocturnal Habits!

Luo Bing's ears twitched, but he didn't speak up to clarify anything.

He knew that hidden beneath Lin Wange's seemingly flighty personality was a tenacious and unyielding stubbornness.

It was a conviction known as persistence.

At the same time, Lin Wange's love and trust in mechs were beyond what others could reach.

If there were no love in her heart, given her indifferent personality, she wouldn't have maintained her position as the primary pilot for so long.

If she didn't care about mechs, it would certainly be more relaxing to step down early, yield the position to someone else, and slack off.

However, Luo Bing also didn't know whether the young girl's persistence was right or wrong.

The development of mechs has reached a bottleneck; this is something everyone knows.
