The ground beneath my feet was shaking, the gravel on the ground was dancing, and even the street lamps were shaking, and the light spots they shed were swaying.
This earthquake-like situation is enough to confirm that the monster is close, that is to say, the monster really suddenly appeared nearby.
"Monster...how is that possible?"
Even though the facts were in front of him, Yukino still couldn't believe it. His whole person was no longer as vigorous as before. Instead, he froze on the spot, feeling the vibration of the ground under his feet, but he looked dumbfounded.
It wasn't that Yukino didn't have enough determination, but the fact was too shocking.
The monster appeared directly on the land without alerting the sonar matrix set up by the Earth Defense Force at great cost.
In the past twenty or thirty years, in order to provide early warning of monster disasters and respond in advance, the Earth Defense Force has spent countless manpower and material resources, laying out a large number of sonar systems in coastal areas and important islands and waterways. In addition,
Buoys, satellites, etc. have created a comprehensive and three-dimensional early warning system and named it Giant.
Since this system started operating, in the past 20 to 30 years, not a single monster has been able to escape. They were all discovered before landing, even close to the continental shelf. The worst is that the location can be determined in shallow water.
.
Years of reliability have given everyone a lot of trust in the Giant system, but now this trust has been shattered.
The monster appeared on land without warning. Although it was an island, it was still land, and the early warning system did not issue an alarm until the monster appeared.
"The monster is different." Chiba Makoto whispered, although he hadn't seen the monster yet, so he couldn't be sure of the monster's condition.
But in terms of escaping the giant system warning, it is definitely extraordinary.
Either the sea monsters are more hidden, or land monsters have appeared again.
But what is most concerning is the location where the monster appears. It happens to be the Mecha Titan logistics support base under construction - Shattered Sky.
Is it really such a coincidence?
A trace of doubt flashed in Qianye Cheng's mind.
But there was no time to think too much at this time. The monster appeared, so something had to be done.
Although the mecha hunters have not yet settled in, and the firearms in their hands are probably not enough to scratch the monsters, several defense teams, including the Ford team, have to be dispatched. Just because they are the Earth Defense Force, they cannot be the same as the people.
If you don't see the monster, just hear where the monster is and run away in fear.
No whistle is needed, the siren is the best rally command.
The team members, who had been awakened by the sound of gunfire, completed preparations for departure as quickly as possible, then quickly boarded the vehicle and headed towards the location where the monster appeared.
Thanks to the construction of Broken Sky, the roads on the island have also been repaired with great efforts, and they are no longer in the same dilapidated state as before. This allowed the Ford team's troop carrier to arrive at Broken Sky as quickly as possible.
near.
Still far away, in the bright lights, a brown monster was seen moving in the broken sky where construction had just begun.
The hard carapace is uneven, like rough old tree bark, without any smooth beauty. The back also has carapace-like protrusions, like the spine, extending from the neck to the short and thick tail.
The four thick legs moved slowly on the ground, but every step they took would leave a deep footprint on the ground.
There are three sharp claws at the end of each leg. Even if they just touch it, they can easily cut the rock. The sharpness is evident.
From the top of the head to the tip of the nose, there are several thick horns of different lengths and shapes scattered on the head, and two huge fangs that bend backwards are exposed in the cracked mouth, and water drips from time to time.
An absolute land monster with no characteristics of marine life.
The most worrying thing has appeared, monsters are really no longer limited to the sea.
Boom! Boom!
Then came the sound of heavy footsteps, which hit everyone's heart like a heavy hammer, making people feel breathless.
Even before you get close, the monster's pressure is already frightening.
"This monster..." Yukino's face turned even paler. Although there was no detailed data, just from this, you could feel that this monster was unusual.
"The monster is stronger."
Chiba Cheng said with great solemnity.
I'm afraid it has exceeded the level seven monster standard estimated by the Earth Defense Force. As for how many levels it has reached, it is currently unknown, because the Earth Defense Force has currently estimated the standard for level eight monster. However, the monster in front of me has already reached this level.
Far beyond the scope of eighth-level monsters.
Not to mention other things, just with this movement, the weight of the monster is probably 20,000 to 30,000 tons, which is two or three times more than the level 6 monster.
The weight is so large, but the volume is not much larger. This means that the density of the monster is extremely high, and the high density means that the defense will never be low. It is like cotton and iron, with the same volume, they are heavier.
That one is naturally the hardest.
If you want to drive high weight, you need strong power. The monster's muscles are naturally extremely developed, which represents strong power. Under the same conditions, it consumes a lot of energy, which requires...
....
Just like the upgrading of Mecha Hunters, every time a monster's weight increases, its overall strength will also increase.
The gap between a 10,000-ton monster and a 20,000-30,000-ton monster is wider than the gap between a kindergarten child and boxing champion Tyson.
In this case, let alone the sixth-generation mecha, even if the seventh-generation mecha is not yet built, it will be a gift.
Because according to the standards designed by the Earth Defense Force, this monster is probably reaching level ten.
"How could this happen?" Yukino's little face turned pale, and the others did not show any mercy. The pressure of such a terrifying monster coming towards one's face made people tremble from the bottom of their hearts.
This has nothing to do with the level of psychological factors, but the biological instinctive reaction to powerful things.
"Everyone should evacuate two kilometers back and report it. It's not something we can handle, it's them..."
After talking about it, Qianye Cheng's voice gradually became lower and lower until it was finally inaudible.
Because Broken Sky has not yet been built, the troops stationed here do not have any combat missions. In addition, the new troops have not yet been allocated powerful weapons. With these light weapons in hand, it is not enough to scratch this monster. In the past
It's just to die.
"Evacuate."
Chiba Makoto issued an order. There were no people on this island to begin with. After being selected for the construction of Broken Sky, some of the original old people were also relocated. Therefore, apart from them, the only people around were construction workers.
The car stopped moving forward, then quickly turned around and drove away faster than when it came. During the bumps, Chiba Cheng raised his binoculars and looked at the monster circling back and forth on the construction site.
The huge soles of the feet flattened the construction vehicles, and the huge body smashed the scaffolding into pieces. The base that had just started to be constructed was trampled to the ground in a short time.
By the time Chiba Makoto had people go to the top of a nearby mountain to set up an observation post, the monster had stopped moving. Most of its head was stuffed into a large hole being excavated in the mountain to be used as the mecha hunter Gnaku, and its whole body was lying on the ground.
Moved.
"Is the monster... asleep?" Yukino looked at the real-time picture displayed on the tablet. The monster's head was arched in the hole, the whole beast was lying on the ground motionless, and its white eyes were closed.
He was either dead or asleep. But he was still alive and kicking just now, so now he could only be asleep.
"It should be like this." Qianye Cheng was also looking at this monster. It was covered in mud. Even though it had just moved a lot and shaken off most of it, the gaps between its scales were still filled with mud.
Coupled with the long and pointed body and sharp claws.
It is not difficult to figure out that this monster should be good at digging underground. Coupled with its lazy appearance, could it be that the Broken Sky under construction dug it out of the underground mountain?
"call!"
Yukino observed for a while and saw that the monster really had no intention of moving, so he let out a long sigh of relief and finally felt relieved.
Facing such a terrifying monster, it's hard not to feel stressed. What's more, they have nothing in their hands. With just these weapons and these people, even if they give them all away, it won't be enough for the monster to fill the gap between their teeth.
"Each team established an observation post as soon as possible. They are not allowed to approach without orders, and attacks on monsters are strictly prohibited." Yukino gave a few more uneasy instructions, lest anyone lose their mind and pick eggs against rocks, seek death themselves, and injure others.
The monster is sleeping now. Let it sleep well. It is better than walking around and destroying everything. It is better not to sleep until the mecha hunter arrives.
But...
Yukino hung up the communication, stood on the mountaintop platform, looked at the monsters in the distance, and said with some confusion: "Arata, do you think...can you win?"
In the past, Yukino had never doubted the Mecha Hunter, let alone worried about the future of mankind.
However, what she saw and heard during this period made Xueno not only confused, but also worried.
It’s true that monsters have changed so much, from one every few months to several a month; from sea creatures to land creatures; from one at a time to two at a time; from tens of thousands of tons to now at least
Twenty thousand tons...
The pace of the monster is so fast, but humans are not just standing still, they are crawling at a very fast pace. If this continues, they will definitely be overtaken by the monster, and then they will be thrown away so that they can't even see the taillights of the car. By then, humans will probably also...
..
Perish!
These two words were so heavy that they hung in my heart, making my heart sink. I was so stuffy that I could hardly breathe. Even the cold wind blowing at night could not calm my body down.
Because whenever I think about the ‘future’, I feel suffocated.
"You have to fight to know whether you can win or not." Chiba Cheng held the telescope tightly, observing the monsters in the distance, and said in a calm tone: "Maybe you can win if you fight, but if you don't fight, you will definitely lose."
Chiba Cheng's hand holding the telescope shook slightly, and then he said calmly: "Age changes, experience increases, things will always change."
"Yes, it will always change, but... how long can it take?" Yukino's voice became lower and lower, and finally turned into an imperceptible murmur. She bit her lip and looked at Arata who was close at hand.
', there was an inexplicable light shining in his eyes, I don't know if it was illuminated by the searchlight of the tilted tower in the distance, or...
"Arata, I..." As if she had made up her mind, Yukino spoke, but as soon as she spoke, she was interrupted by Chiba Makoto: "They are here."
"Huh? Who... Mecha Hunter?" Yukino was stunned for a moment, and then realized that following Chiba Makoto's line of sight, he saw a patch of moving stars appearing in the night sky in the distance.
No telescope is needed, this familiar arrangement is definitely the searchlight of the Mecha Hunter and Hercules transport helicopter.
"It's finally here." A smile appeared on Yukino's face, but then she became worried again: "Is it possible that I can survive?"
This monster is extremely noisy, has sharp claws and sharp teeth, and is very difficult to deal with at first glance.
Yukino said, quickly took out the tablet, opened the internal information section, and saw the information about the mecha hunters dispatched.
Coming from the nearest Heishenwei base, the two mechas that arrived were the fifth-generation mecha Cherno Alpha and the newly built sixth-generation mecha Victory Alpha.
The whole body is covered with thick armor, and its weight is far ahead among the fifth-generation mechas. One can hold up two, and it can be called a model of violent aesthetics. The main feature is a thick-skinned, full-feeling, high-defense mecha.
Heavily-armed warrior; while the other one is a sixth-generation mecha, but its weight is not as good as Cherno Alpha because it takes a light route and is a light-armored warrior with high attack and agility.
According to the data, the two mecha hunters usually go out together, with Cherno Alpha at the front, holding the monster from the front, and Victory Alpha taking the opportunity to attack.
In just two years, these two mechas killed four monsters with minimal damage to themselves, which can be regarded as a model of teamwork.
"It seems that the headquarters has specially analyzed this monster." Chiba Makoto muttered. Judging from this configuration, it is obviously aimed at this monster that looks very rough and thick at first glance.
Cherno Alpha is in the front, competing to see who is more durable, while Victory Alpha uses its latest energy ray weapon to penetrate the monster's carapace.
This is the latest anti-monster weapon developed. Because monsters are becoming thicker and thicker, the effectiveness of fists, feet and even swords is decreasing. So they began to develop weapons with stronger penetrating power, that is, high-energy particles emitted with strong magnetic fields.
Ray, there is the experimental machine Victory Alpha.
The reason why it is a sixth-generation mecha that is so light is because most of the space and weight are used to load the weapons for this experiment, and it has lived up to expectations. Not long ago, it penetrated a six-generation mecha with one blow.
Super monster's head, killing it instantly.
So the headquarters dispatched Victory Alpha with the idea of using this energy ray weapon to destroy this monster whose flesh is very tough at first sight. To be on the safe side, they also brought Cherno Alpha with them.
But...
Is it possible?
Chiba Cheng is still worried, this monster is very unusual, it should be a real monster.
If this is just the beginning, then it will be the era of big monsters.
