Chapter 27 The Brat

After a few seconds of silence, Megumi agreed.

She arranged for Lin Yeming and Horii to investigate strange phenomena in Tachidoma Town in northern Kanto.

This was the GUTS team's job until monsters appeared.

Now it's perfect to hand it over to Lin Yeming and the others.

The others proceeded with negotiations with Obik as planned.

After resting for a while, the two set off.

Lin Yeming was driving, and Horii was in the passenger seat giving directions.

They were going to the research institute in town, where the samples from this report were stored.

"We'll be at the research institute soon after we pass through this tunnel. Yeming, your energy and spirit have improved a lot since you started practicing your boxing."

Horii put away the map and looked at Lin Yeming with envy.

He had heard that Lin Yeming often practiced boxing after get off work, and he didn't expect it to be so effective.

Originally, the three weakest members of the Victory Team could have formed a stable triangular relationship, but unexpectedly, Lin Yeming betrayed them.

Now only he and Ye Rui were left staring at each other.

Lin Yeming slowed down slightly and said with a smile, "Do you want to learn?"

"I'll teach you."

Horii was delighted to hear this, but still politely declined, saying, "That's the tradition of your gym, so let's forget about it."

"Boxing techniques should not be taught without authorization, but other techniques can be taught."

"I have a set of boxing techniques that can help maintain health. Would you like to learn them?"

Horii was a very imaginative scientist; if he had lived longer, he might have brought even greater inventions to the world.

As soon as the patrol car entered the tunnel, before Horii could even ask what was going on, a strong stench filled his nostrils.

"Health preservation?" Horii covered his nose. "Ugh, it smells awful."

"This smells a bit like car exhaust."

"Could it be that there's a problem with the tunnel's ventilation system?"

Lin Yeming frowned upon smelling the odor, and seeing that there were no vehicles ahead, he stepped on the gas and accelerated.

"That should be the case; this tunnel has been built for a long time."

Horii forced himself to speak despite his discomfort.

As the patrol car left the tunnel, the stench inside gradually dissipated.

Lin Yeming was driving his patrol car just fine when he noticed a string of firecrackers being thrown down from the hillside.

With his current abilities, he could have spotted the string of firecrackers much earlier, but he still braked first to slow down and crashed straight into them.

This thing can't cause any damage to patrol cars at all.

He was actually quite curious about who dared to tease the GUTS team like this.

Horii was startled. He carefully examined the patrol car and then asked a question.

"What is that? Is it a bomb?"

Lin Yeming picked up the firecracker debris from the ground, smiled, and said, "It's not that dramatic, it's just firecrackers."

Horii breathed a sigh of relief, but was a little puzzled as to where the firecrackers came from since no one had been killed nearby.

Just as they were about to get back to the car, a cute little girl on the hillside waved a pirate flag and shouted, "Here we come!"

Horii felt his blood boil and was about to teach them a lesson.

Before he could even speak, a taller boy was so frightened that he grabbed the little girl and ran away.

"You bunch of brats, you dare to run? Stop right there!"

Horii took off and chased after him. Lin Yeming shook his head helplessly. He was about to follow, but then he thought that leaving the car on the road would be too dangerous, so he gave up the idea.

He pulled his patrol car over to the side of the road and was about to get out when he suddenly saw Horii waving his hands on the hillside.

At this moment, Horii was covered in mud and looked utterly disheveled, clearly having been teased by those naughty kids.

Lin Yeming handed the other person a pack of tissues and teased, "What's wrong?"

"The elite members of the prestigious Victory Team were defeated by a child?"

Horii wiped his face and looked around, but couldn't find a trash can, so he put the used paper into his pocket.

"Hey, stop talking."

"Kids these days are so naughty, how could they throw firecrackers at a car?"

He grumbled and began to recount his discovery: he had seen a large expanse of withered trees.

"I remember the report mentioned that many trees in this area had died due to the heavy fog."

“We’ve only just entered, and this has already happened. I’m afraid the harm is even greater than what the report says.”

Horii led the way, while Lin Yeming followed behind, analyzing the anomaly report.

When the two arrived at the scene and saw the dead trees, Horii said that the trees were probably damaged by acid.

Lin Yeming agreed with the other party's statement: "Such a large area is really too unusual. Let's take a look at the report from the research institute for details."

The two men took a few photos with their camera, returned to their patrol car, and continued on their way.

On the other side, several mischievous children were flying kites under the power tower.

They celebrated happily.

"Yay! We beat two of our teammates from the winning team!"

"Even the Victory team wouldn't stand a chance against Boss Yuya!"

The little girl happily spun around in circles, shouting joyfully, "No match for me, no match for me..."

"Haha, the four of us are really awesome!"

"The Monster Expedition Team achieves a great victory!"

Just as they were celebrating joyfully, a strange sound rang out. They looked in the direction of the sound and discovered that acid mist had appeared sometime earlier.

The group was so frightened that they ran away as fast as they could, even leaving their kite and flag behind.

"It's a monster, run!"

"Go tell the GUTS team quickly..."

...

Lin Yeming and Horii had already arrived at the research institute and parked their car in front of it.

They had only been inside for a short while when they were surrounded by a group of children.

The children were chanting "Victory Team"...

Clearly, the frequent appearances of the Victory team recently have given them a certain degree of recognition among the public, and even children recognize them.

Some of them surrounded the patrol car, while others looked out the window.

Horii had already washed up; he had a towel wrapped around his neck and was drying his hair.

Holding up the specimens used for research, the staff member said, "These are all plants that withered and died because of the heavy fog."

Horii dried his hands and used TPC's testing equipment to examine it. The results came back quickly, and he said, "I guessed right, it really did die from acid."

After the patrol car drove in, Lin Yeming realized that this place was not very developed.

The place they arrived at was more of a general office space than a research institute.

Actually, all departments have them; he saw the patrol officers having lunch.

Now that the incident has occurred, his concern is about casualties, as there are far fewer people here.

Most of them were children and the elderly.

Lin Yeming asked worriedly, "Has anyone been injured because of the thick fog?"

"So far, no one has been injured."

"Oh, right, I also have some photos here."

The staff member got up and started typing on the keyboard to bring up the images.

As Lin Yeming approached, he saw that the screen suddenly dimmed as soon as the image was enlarged, followed by a few flashes of the light before it quickly went dark again.

"That's strange, how could this be?"

"There was no announcement about a power outage today."

The staff member's face flushed; he was extremely embarrassed.
