Chapter 106: Flame Demon Rodan



Surface world, Isla Mara, Mexico.

There is a thousand-meter-high extinct volcano on the island, and at the foot of the mountain is the small town of Mara with a population of tens of thousands.

In a supermarket convenience store in the town, Lin Zhongtian, wearing his black hooded sweatshirt, was buying things while chatting and laughing with the convenience store owner in fluent Spanish.

When the topic turned to the extinct volcano next door, Lin Zhongtian changed the subject and asked curiously: "Boss, there is one thing I have always been curious about. What is it like to live at the foot of a volcano? Aren't you afraid of the volcano erupting?"

The middle-aged convenience store owner laughed loudly upon hearing this. While finding change, he said casually, "What's there to be afraid of? Experts say this volcano is a dead volcano. It hasn't erupted for thousands of years, and it will definitely not erupt in the future..."

"That's not necessarily true!"

Lin Zhongtian said seriously: "As far as I know, it is difficult to distinguish between extinct volcanoes and dormant volcanoes. Even if there has been no eruption for thousands of years, it does not prove that there is no possibility of resuming eruption activities in the future."

"Haha, what do you know!"

Seeing that the Chinese young man in front of him was speaking seriously, the convenience store owner also wanted to compete with him.

He first glanced at the other customers in the supermarket, then motioned Lin Zhongtian to come over and said in a low voice: "A few years ago, people from the National Geological Bureau blocked the road to the volcano. I have a nephew who was the police officer in charge of blocking the road at that time. I heard from him that those people seemed to have built a research institute in the heart of the volcano, specializing in studying various substances in the volcano."

"You said, they can build a research institute inside a volcano, can't they prove that this volcano will not erupt?"

After saying that, the convenience store owner raised his head meaningfully, with an attitude that said, "The experts don't know more than you do."

Lin Zhongtian nodded thoughtfully: "That makes sense."

The convenience store owner laughed and said, "So don't worry, this volcano will never erupt. It's a pity that you came a little late. If you had come here to travel a few years ago, you could have gone to the crater to take a look..."

A minute later, Lin Zhongtian walked out of the convenience store carrying a plastic bag and looked at the volcano thoughtfully.

Before today, he, like many people, did not understand why these people built a city at the foot of the volcano. But after a tour of the town today, he has roughly understood the reasons for the emergence of such volcanic cities.

First of all, a stable extinct volcano is a precious tourist resource that will attract many tourists. Secondly, volcanic eruptions will make the surrounding land extremely fertile, and you can get a good harvest by planting anything. At the same time, volcanic rock is also an ideal building material. Houses built with volcanic rocks are not only strong and durable, but also extremely light, and are very popular in the building materials market.

Although the residents living here are not particularly wealthy, they are better off than most but better off than most.

It seems that unless the volcano really shows signs of eruption, the residents of the town will never leave easily.

"National Geological Bureau..."

Lin Zhongtian sneered. The Imperial Organization had clearly discovered the Titan beast sleeping in the volcano, but it did not work with the government to evacuate the residents of the towns near the volcano. Instead, it established Base No. 56 with a fluke mentality and tried to study the volcanic beast.

Have they never thought that once the monster awakens in the future, the residents of the entire city will not be able to escape the fate of death?

Thinking of this, Lin Zhongtian took a step forward, carrying the plastic bag and disappeared into the crowd on the street.

Ten minutes later, Lin Zhongtian, wearing a suit of silver armor, was floating above the volcano, and under his feet was the Imperial Organization's Base No. 56.

The main part of the base is above the crater. It is made of reinforced concrete and high-temperature resistant alloys and built around the crater. In the center is a heavy round metal door. The outer circle is a road for vehicles and a helipad for helicopters. The outermost circle is a base building that coexists with the annular insulation zone, where members of various departments of the Imperial Organization live.

The three together form a circular platform, completely sealing off the entire crater.

Lin Zhongtian landed without any hesitation. The armed men around him were startled when they saw him falling from the sky, and subconsciously raised their guns and pointed them at Lin Zhongtian.

But then, an armed man who looked like a squad leader recognized him, hurriedly stopped his companions, picked up the walkie-talkie hanging on his body, and after reporting the news, he approached cautiously.

"Sir, this is Monarch Organization Base 56. Is there anything I can help you with?"

...So polite?

Lin Zhongtian raised his eyebrows and looked at the man with some surprise.

After thinking for a while, he said bluntly: "Take me to see the Titan beast here."

The team leader hesitated and said, "Please wait a moment..."

After saying that, the team leader walked aside and reported Lin Zhongtian's request through the intercom.

After receiving a positive answer, the team leader breathed a sigh of relief and respectfully expressed his willingness to lead Lin Zhongtian.

Lin Zhongtian nodded, followed him into the building next door, and took the elevator into the belly of the volcano.

Here is an observation room built by the Imperial Organization using special insulation materials. It is equipped with many specially made heat-resistant instruments to monitor the Titan sleeping in the magma.

As I walked out of the elevator, a blond man in a suit came up to me with a smile on his face.

"Hello sir, I am Sap Sword, the head of the organization's base 56."

“…”

Lin Zhongtian nodded without saying anything, and turned to look at the heat-insulating glass in front of him.

Through the glass, you can see a Titan sleeping in the magma. It is Rodan, the number one henchman of the King of Monsters who surrendered to Ghidorah and Godzilla successively in the movie.

It has an appearance similar to that of pterosaurs and the ancestor of birds. Its skeleton is very similar to the ancient creature Pterosaur from the late Cretaceous period, except that its head is more like a bird and it has sharp teeth in its beak.

At this moment, Rodan closed his eyes tightly, sleeping in the hot magma lake at the bottom of the volcano.

Golden-red magma flows through its body covered in rock-like scales, forming a geothermal armor covered with magma veins, while also camouflaging its appearance to resemble the surrounding gray-black volcanic rocks.

Seeing Lin Zhongtian looking at the sleeping Rodan, the base director Sap immediately introduced him enthusiastically.

In his description, Rodan is a powerful monster with many legends and is called the "Fire Demon". According to the measurements and estimates of the Monarch Organization, Rodan has a height of 47 meters when standing and a wingspan of 265 meters.

With this body size, he can be called the king of the sky in the era of Titans.

At this point, Sapp paused, smiled and said: "Of course, since the giant dragon from outer space descended on Earth, this title has undoubtedly been transferred to King Ghidorah, the monster you defeated."

"I know its name."

Lin Zhongtian nodded and said his first words since entering the observation room.

Sap couldn't help but feel pleasantly surprised. He quickly struck while the iron was hot and said carefully, "We have been trying to get in touch with you since you showed up in Antarctica. According to my colleague Dr. Ling, you once gave her a contact method, but she couldn't get in touch with you through it. I wonder if you..."

Sap rubbed his hands awkwardly and did not finish the rest of his words.

But Lin Zhongtian understood what he meant. He just wanted to ask him for a more stable contact method on behalf of the Imperial Organization.

Lin Zhongtian glanced at him and did not answer. Instead, he raised his hand and took out the mobile phone from the space ring.

The moment the phone was taken out, the default ringtone rang.

Lin Zhongtian was slightly startled and asked in surprise: "There is also a signal in the volcano?"

At this moment, Sap's eyes were wide open, staring in shock at the mobile phone that suddenly appeared in Lin Zhongtian's left hand.

Hearing Lin Zhongtian's question, he swallowed his saliva and explained with all his shock: "Of course, Base 56 is responsible for monitoring all of Rodan's vital signs and activities. Naturally, when an abnormal situation occurs, the message must be conveyed as quickly as possible. Therefore, many signal amplifiers are set up inside and around the base..."
