"Where are you now?"
A questioning voice came through the walkie-talkie.
"On the helicopter,"
Kodo, holding onto the edge of the helicopter, lifted his head and glanced at the roaring propellers against the pitch-black night sky above, "The situation over at Wenlan Island seems to be much more serious, so I'm going over to check."
"The lives of everyone in this city are in our hands," the voice on the other end of the walkie-talkie paused for a moment, speaking in a low tone, "Don't give up."
