Chapter 153 Dr. Jiang Qi's Daughter

Looking at his girlfriend whom he had fallen in love with at the concert, Horii realized that he didn't know her at all.

He couldn't recall any of the events that happened today.

Ezaki Chizuru seems somewhat melancholy now.

Daigo looked around solemnly and, after confirming that everything was alright, slammed the door shut. He let out a long sigh and said calmly, "This place is relatively secluded and safe. The situation outside is unclear, so let's not make any rash moves. Let's just wait for rescue here."

“We can’t just sit here and wait to die. Those things are too bizarre. We have to find a way to deal with them.” Horii still felt lingering fear when he recalled the previous attack. Those things could fly and there were many of them. Once someone was possessed, they would lose their mind, just like those villagers.

As the two were talking, Jiang Qiqianhe suddenly said, "After all these years, this place is still the same as before."

The two were stunned for a moment before taking in their surroundings.

The entire room was filled with a sense of technology, with various star maps displayed on the walls.

There are all sorts of models on the desktop.

Jiang Qiqianhe touched a model of a spaceship and exclaimed, "This spaceship model is still here."

Horii and Daigo exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with confusion. Horii couldn't help but ask, "Chizuru, what do you mean by that? Have you been here before?" Chizuru trembled slightly, her hand slipping from the spaceship model. She was a beat too slow and could only watch helplessly as the model crashed to the ground.

Fortunately, Horii caught it before it broke.

Seeing that the model was alright, she breathed a sigh of relief but refused the model Horii offered her.

Her eyes darted away, and she simply nodded slightly without offering any further explanation.

At that moment, a sharp whistling sound suddenly came from outside, as if something was rushing past the observation center at high speed.

Daigo quickly ran to the monitoring console, trying to bring up the external footage, but the screen flickered with static, the interference was so severe that he couldn't see anything. "Damn it, those things might have already surrounded this place."

Horii clenched his fists, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

Jiang Qiqianhe bit her lip and said in despair, "It seems we're all going to die here."

"I read a novel where the male and female protagonists were trapped in a supermarket in this way."

Daigo asked, "And then?"

Jiang Qiqianhe said bitterly, "Then, the world perished."

Horii patted his chest and said, "Our world will not perish, because we have the Victory Team!"

He seemed to suddenly realize something and asked, "Jiang Qi... could it be... that you are the captain of the Jupiter exploration team, Dr. Jiang Qi's daughter?"

Jiang Qi is such a common surname that Horii never even considered it from that angle.

Jiang Qiqianhe said bitterly, "I didn't mean to hide it from you."

“My father hasn’t come back for many years. He’s like a fanatical scientist who doesn’t have a family of his own. I even doubt if he remembers that he has a daughter.”

So that's what happened. Isn't this similar to Lina's situation?

Daigo, who is dating Rena, realizes how similar the two are.

Daigo sighed softly, stepped forward, patted Jiang Qiqianhe on the shoulder, and said, "I can understand how you feel. Lina also had many grievances against her father, but how can blood ties be so easily severed? Perhaps your father has his own difficulties." Jiang Qiqianhe shook her head slightly, her eyes full of confusion.

At this moment, the howling outside grew even more intense, as if countless mad beasts were roaring.

The lights in the room flickered on and off, making the atmosphere increasingly tense and oppressive.

Horii frowned and looked out the window again, trying to find traces of those "things", but still found nothing.

"In any case, the most urgent task is to resolve the current crisis."

Daigo broke the silence, looking at Chizuru Ezaki with a determined gaze. "Chizuru, since you are familiar with this place, you must know something. Any detail could be key. Quickly think of a way to defend against the enemy."

Jiang Qiqianhe bit her lower lip, pondered for a moment, and then quickly walked to the control panel in the corner of the room.

She skillfully operated the various complex buttons, and the screen flashed with dense data and images. "There's an energy shield device here, designed with my father's help many years ago. Activating it might provide temporary protection." With that, she pressed the final confirmation button.

A deep rumble came from underground, and the entire observation center trembled slightly. Then, a transparent blue shield slowly rose up and enveloped the building.

The howling and crashing sounds outside suddenly subsided, as if they had been blocked out by a barrier.

Horii breathed a sigh of relief and was about to praise her when he noticed that Jiang Qiqianhe's face was pale and her body swayed. He quickly supported Qianhe and asked with concern, "What's wrong?" Jiang Qiqianhe smiled weakly, "I'm just a little tired from running such a long way, it's nothing." Horii felt heartbroken and hugged her tightly.

He patted the other person on the back and said:

"I understand. So you heard this place was abandoned and came here with the model left behind by Dr. Jiang Qi, right?"

Chizuru nodded gently.

Horii smiled and said, "I'm afraid you don't know yet."

"What is it?"

"Director Sawai's orders have already been scheduled up to Jeep No. 3. That means your father, Dr. Jiang Qi, is coming back."

"This is also one of the reasons why the space observation center has not been demolished yet; the doctor and his team still need to confirm what items need to be taken away."

"After all, documents are easy to lose or damage."

Jiang Qiqianhe's eyes widened, a hint of surprise and disbelief flashing in them: "Really? Father is really coming back?" Horii looked at her like this, feeling both relieved and a little sad, and nodded heavily: "Qianhe, it's true, he will be back soon."

Daigo smiled and said, "It seems this ordeal has brought good news. However, we still need to think about the aftermath. This energy shield won't last long; we need to find a way to completely eliminate those things."

Jiang Qiqianhe took a deep breath, as if her fighting spirit had been rekindled. She gently broke free from Horii's embrace, walked to the control panel, and carefully studied the data: "There might be clues in the materials left by my father. The research conducted here back then must have something useful."

"By the way, those things are probably afraid of water. I only escaped because I jumped into the water."

"The fog changed position when it encountered water."

Horii's eyes lit up, and he said, "If that's the case, then it's easy. The fire-fighting facilities at this research institute are still usable. If we make good use of them, they might be able to hold out for a while."
