As she spoke, Luo Yun hurriedly urged Luo Bing:

"Bro, get up, get up! Let's hurry to the beach to see Beast King. Sister Junko is waiting for us outside right now!"

Although he had already expected Old Luo's explanation, Luo Bing still stubbornly retorted:

"Only Old Luo could be so carefree. Beast King already charged into the base's doorstep to take a bath, and he's still acting like nothing happened!"

Only Shock, No Joy 3

When the Luo siblings arrived outside, Luo Bing saw Koizumi Junko standing at the door with her head lowered, seemingly lost in thought.

"Junko!"

Luo Bing called out.

They had returned very late last night, so Koizumi Junko had probably discovered again that he had sneaked out.

"Luo Jun."

Koizumi Junko replied softly, her cheeks slightly flushed.

"Thank you for what happened last night, Luo Jun."

After waking up in her own room today, Junko had probably figured out who had carried her back.

After all...

Anyone capable of becoming a pilot might have a few personality flaws, but there was no way they could be stupid.

Luo Bing laughed heartily.

"It was nothing. No need to take it to heart."

Luo Yun popped out from behind him, gave the two of them several strange looks, and said in an eerie voice:

"What happened last night? How come I don't know?"

Luo Bing rewarded his little sister with a knock on the head.

"Weren't you in a hurry to see Beast King? Why are you suddenly concerned about other things?"

The moment Beast King was mentioned, Luo Yun perked right up.

"Let's go, let's go! Bro, Sister Junko, hurry up!"

"I heard early this morning that General Luo and Dr. Chen were over there hosting things together. They're not afraid at all, are they?"

"I wanted to get in too, but without you leading me, they put up a security line. I can't get through!"

Luo Yun said gloomily.

If she did not need to follow behind Luo Bing to get in, she would have rushed over long ago. Why would she come back to call her lazy big brother?

"Alright, alright. We'll go now."

After saying that, Luo Bing looked at Junko.

"Junko, let's go together. The Sakura Saber still hasn't finished major repairs, so even if we wanted to help, there's nowhere for us to do it."

On the beach behind the base, their feet sank into the soft sand. Looking out toward the sea, they could see a black mountain standing across the water.

It was Beast King Godzilla!

After the tide receded, the sleeping posture of this Beast King was finally revealed to the world.

Dr. Chen held binoculars and watched from afar, occasionally spouting incomprehensible professional jargon.

Last night, after Beast King Godzilla killed three monsters in succession, including Otter Bull, Dr. Chen had remained in the Command Center until morning.

She wanted to use the global satellite network to determine Beast King's final destination and ultimately locate his lair.

Yet she had not expected that, after getting no results despite staying up most of the night in the Command Center, a huge piece of news would strike her over the head this morning.

As the morning tide receded, Beast King's mountain-like figure gradually emerged from the water.

At first, only a layer of black surface had been visible. Now, nearly half of his body had emerged.

Using her binoculars, Dr. Chen could even make out the faint outline of Beast King Godzilla's ears twitching unnaturally.

Beast King's ear waterproofing system had to be excellent. Otherwise, his ears would have been flooded while he slept.

In any case, no one had expected Beast King Godzilla to end up here.

In the waters right beside Mecha Base!

If it had been an ordinary monster, they would definitely have given it a righteous group beating.

But now that it was Beast King...

In short, Dr. Chen's feelings were extremely conflicted.

It would be a lie to say she was not excited, but it would also be a lie to say she was not worried.

Even if Titan Beasts were truly friendly toward humanity, they were still colossal creatures nearly a hundred meters tall!

The mere existence of something like that, and a slight movement of a few steps, could have a massive impact on life on the ground.

Humans bore no ill will toward ants, but how could ants possibly resist every movement humans made?

Strictly speaking, at the same size, an individual human's vitality was not even comparable to an ant's.

After arranging everything, Old Luo came to Dr. Chen's side and said:

"Wulei and Blue Blood Blade are already on standby... They'll maintain the current situation and act immediately if anything happens!"

Without turning around, Dr. Chen replied to Old Luo:

"You might as well evacuate everyone in the base to ten kilometers away. That would be more useful than putting the mechas on standby."

"You've already seen Beast King's power. The two mechas combined would just be delivering themselves on a platter."

Old Luo sighed.

"We have to do something. I've already evacuated the secondary personnel, but every important department still needs people. They're holding their posts."

Logically speaking, Dr. Chen and Old Luo were the ones who should have been carried away, chairs and all.

Yet both of them had personally come to the beach, placing themselves on the front line of danger.

Although Beast King Godzilla's previous encounters with humanity had all proven that he had no intention of attacking humans,

there was no doubt that this was still an extremely risky situation.

Dr. Chen twitched her nose as if she had caught a scent, then asked Old Luo:

"Did you eat garlic?"

Old Luo answered honestly:

"I had two cloves with breakfast this morning."

"Then I suggest you leave. If Beast King wakes up and smells the garlic on you, he might suffocate you with one bite. You won't even have anywhere to cry."

Old Luo gave a bitter smile.

"When the time comes, I'll retreat on my own. Being bold doesn't mean knowingly walking into danger... As for you, Dr. Chen... forget it. I won't try to persuade you. You definitely won't leave."

"Dr. Chen, when do you think Beast King will wake up?"

Dr. Chen shook her head decisively.

"I don't know. We have too little information at present. No one knows how long Beast King will sleep... He might sleep during the day and emerge at night, waking up when darkness falls."

"Or perhaps he expended too much energy these past few days and might sleep for a year or half a year. Just like Yamata inside Mount Fuji. Didn't Yamata sleep for eight years without a single movement?"

Old Luo's expression became even more bitter.

"If he really sleeps for eight or ten years, this base will definitely be abandoned and turned into a research team dedicated to helping you study Beast King!"

With Beast King so close by, the mechas definitely could not be deployed nearby, and all other noisy equipment would have to be removed as well.

In the end, this enormous Mecha Base might really be converted into a research base.

Old Luo frowned at Beast King in the distance and said helplessly:

"The Pacific Ocean is so vast, and the area around Sakurajima isn't small either. Why did Beast King come here? I really can't understand it!"

At this moment, Beast King Godzilla's appearance at such close range brought the entire Mecha Base nothing but panic, without even the slightest hint of joy.

Loving Dragons Only in Theory 1

A so-called surprise was when you were shocked from head to toe, right down to your toenails, and only then got a little joy.

While Dr. Chen and Old Luo were talking on the beach, Beast King out at sea seemed to be waking up.

He shifted his body slightly, raising huge waves as two columns of air blasted deeply from his nostrils.

The gale mixed with seawater shot into the sky like water cannons, displaying the terrifying lung capacity of Beast King!

The two water cannons ultimately landed on the beach, blasting two pits into the soft sand, each three to four meters wide and two to three meters deep.

There was no doubt that if those seemingly casual nostril water cannons struck a human body, the result would be total destruction!

And the impact points were only a little over twenty meters away from Dr. Chen and Old Luo.

The sand blasted up by the water cannons scattered everywhere like yellow flour, giving both of them a thorough face wash. Their clothes and hair were covered in sand.

Still, fortunately, both of them remained standing there alive.

Just as Dr. Chen had said, every movement of a colossal beast could have an enormous impact on tiny humans.

Even a mere sneeze or deep breath could trigger a tragedy!

Is Beast King waking up?

The thought flashed through Old Luo's mind. He immediately grabbed Dr. Chen's hand and gave several nearby field personnel a look.

Dr. Chen definitely would not leave. This was the best opportunity for firsthand research, but for her safety, even if they had to carry her away, they would do so!

"He's not awake! Beast King isn't awake. He just turned over!"

Dr. Chen knew exactly what Old Luo was thinking. She did not expect to persuade him, instead directly stating what she had observed.

Old Luo turned to look. Sure enough, Beast King was still sleeping in the seawater. He had merely shifted his body slightly.

This...

Old Luo's expression changed several times before he finally released her hand and did not take any forceful measures.

Meanwhile, Luo Bing held onto a nearby railing with both hands as his closed eyes slowly opened.

He was bent over, gripping the railing tightly with both hands, looking as though his kidneys had failed.

The only thing missing was a pale, weak face.

Walking beside Luo Bing, Junko was the first to notice something was wrong. She hurried over to support him.

"Luo Jun, what's wrong?"

Luo Bing shook his head.

"It's nothing. My head was a little dizzy just now. Maybe low blood sugar?"

Junko was somewhat puzzled.

"Low blood sugar is a chronic condition. How could Luo Jun's body have such symptoms?"

However, seeing that Luo Bing had already returned to normal, Junko did not dwell on it any further.

At most, during the next physical examination, she planned to ask the medical staff for Luo Jun's examination report.
