Pacific Rim Godzilla Beats Up Monsters

However, these measures could not prevent an inside job.

With Luo Bing's current super-strong physique, he scaled walls and traversed narrow paths with ease, quickly bypassing the security cameras along the way to reach the side of the base.

This was a protruding cliff, with the sea level directly below.

Looking in the other direction, he could see the beach he had passed by during his first transformation.

Luo Bing did not hesitate. With his super-strong physique as a guarantee, he was much bolder this time, diving straight into the ocean without any protective gear.

A shadow like a mountain swept across the seabed, as if a dragon had returned to the sea.

022. Monsters Cannot Be Lumped Together

The open sea area of the North Sea battlefield in Sakurajima.

The salvage team was still working hard.

Many among them already had a premonition that something was wrong.

If the Serpent King's corpse had truly disappeared for no reason, a far more terrifying disaster must be hidden behind it!

If...

If they could find the Serpent King's corpse, it would prove that it had merely been swept away by the deep-sea currents and had drifted from its original anchor point.

Then everything would be cause for celebration, and all previous concerns would cease to exist.

Old Cao was smoking cigarette after cigarette, unable to stop.

As the captain, he was leading by example, guiding everyone in the search.

He had already considered the worst-case scenario.

Now, he hoped that result would not come to pass.

He held a megaphone and shouted loudly to the surrounding ships:

"Keep your spirits up! Even if a corpse this big was swept away by an undercurrent, it couldn't have gone too far. Spread out and search carefully!"

"As long as we find the corpse and transport it back, our haul this time will be astronomical!"

"Don't doubt it. I'm telling you, I've already received authorization from the Mecha Base. If we succeed this time, every brother from our country is guaranteed a property, and the brothers from Sakurajima will be able to buy plane tickets to our country through the base's channels!"

"I'm sure you all know that the commanders of the Mecha Base always keep their word and are never stingy with those who have rendered meritorious service!"

"Once we return safely this time, you all can continue to follow me. We'll act as an unofficial branch of the Mecha Base; we'll be guaranteed freedom from constraints while keeping our pockets full!"

With heavy rewards promised, morale was instantly maxed out.

The Serpent King's corpse had not been found, and the mysterious monster had not appeared either.

This emboldened Old Cao, who prepared to expand the search radius, determined to return only after a successful mission.

Captain Cao cheered everyone on while thinking about other matters.

After he reported the situation here, the attitude of the Mecha Base had clearly become more cautious.

Subsequent fleets were also rushing toward this area; it looked like they were preparing to implement martial law.

All signs indicated that the situation was becoming grim.

Old Cao was just an ordinary person and did not receive much information, but his years of experience were enough to make up for a lot.

After using the communicator to broadcast his voice to the other ships, Old Cao was just about to hang up.

At that moment, a signal came in. Old Cao glanced at the ID number; it was from one of the outer perimeter ships.

Could they have found it?

Old Cao felt a surge of joy and hurriedly connected.

Before he could even speak, the frantic voice on the other end made Old Cao's heart sink to the bottom of a valley.

"Captain Cao! There's an island! A small island is coming from the north, but I don't remember there ever being an island in this sea area!"

Old Cao did not respond, instead looking directly at the radar inside the cabin.

He saw that within the scanning range of the large radar, an island had indeed appeared, located ten kilometers to the north... no, nine kilometers.

It changed again! Eight kilometers!

Old Cao felt anxious, his blood pressure rising, but his mental fortitude was truly exceptional. He immediately shouted:

"Retreat! Change course!"

"That's a monster!"

The response from the other side was equally swift, consisting of only one sentence:

"It's too late! It has surfaced!"

Old Cao rushed out of the cabin and looked toward the north. Sure enough, he saw a colossal beast several miles away slowly rising from the sea.

Ten thousand acres of seawater cascaded off its body, forming a cliff-like waterfall!

Its massive, hideous frame, powerful arms, and the reverse-growing thorns on its back—after emerging from the water, its gaze, which looked down upon the world, swept across the sea area as if patrolling its own territory!

It was him!

That Beast King!

The mysterious monster that had taken out two other monsters in quick succession the moment it appeared!

Hadn't he left? Why was he back?

Old Cao's vision went dark; he nearly fainted on the spot.

His first thought was that they were finished.

Not just him, but all the young people he had brought out to sea!

In the distance, the towering behemoth looked down at the ships, which appeared the size of models on the sea surface, his expression unreadable.

He began to move through the water, yet he arrived at the center of the dozens of ships with an air of extreme calm.

Aside from the massive waves crashing onto the decks, he caused no other impact.

The Beast King's broad, thick head scanned the surroundings, his nose twitching from time to time, as if... as if he were searching for something.

Most importantly, this monster did not attack the humans!

This completely defied Old Cao's understanding!

In Old Cao's experience, whether it was the monsters he had encountered personally or those he had heard about through other channels, they were all merciless, slaughtering humans without hesitation!

It seemed as though every living, breathing creature was a mortal enemy to these monsters, and they wouldn't be satisfied until they had wiped them out!

But!

This mysterious Beast King did not do so.

He moved his massive body, wandering across the sea surface, with dozens of model-sized ships surrounding him.

On those ships, there were countless humans—some frozen in terror, others sobbing uncontrollably, and not a few who had lost control of their bladders.

Yet, the mysterious monster remained unmoved and did not attack.

He simply circled the area once, let out a snort, and then submerged back into the depths of the sea, swimming toward the east.

This monster had actually let them go just like that?

Countless people wept with joy, overcome by the exhilaration of surviving a disaster.

Only Old Cao, his right hand gripping the handle, wore an expression of utter disbelief.

"This is impossible, this shouldn't be possible!"

Someone nearby asked him:

"Captain, we survived the monster's hands, why aren't you happy?"

"Yes, we survived the monster's hands..."

Old Cao suddenly raised his head:

"This monster is different from the ones we've seen before! Absolutely different!"

"He has no strong hostility toward humans!"

As Old Cao spoke, he seemed to agree with this point, nodding repeatedly and repeating:

"Yes, yes, there really is no hostility. It was the same at the North Sea battlefield before when he killed the Scythe Head. After this monster killed the Scythe Head, he just left; he didn't start a war with Wulei!"

"This monster is different from other monsters! Other monsters are specifically designed to slaughter humans, but this monster—he seems more like he is specifically hunting monsters!"

"He, he returned here to look for the Serpent King's corpse. He must have discovered something!"

Old Cao shouted excitedly as if he had discovered a new continent, then yelled loudly at the helmsman:

"Turn the rudder! Head east! Follow that Beast King!"

"He knows more than we humans do. He must have discovered something! During the time he lingered in this sea area just now, he must have discovered something!"

Everyone else was stunned by Old Cao's behavior!

Are you crazy!

We just escaped from the tiger's mouth, and now you are voluntarily throwing yourself back into it!

The whole group shook their heads incessantly, resolutely refusing to do it.

There were some who trusted Old Cao, but only a scattered few.

Old Cao didn't waste any more words. He immediately took a few people, switched to a small speedboat, cranked up the throttle, and followed in pursuit!

Few of the people left on the ship took what Old Cao said seriously; they all shook their heads and mocked:

"We were lucky enough to save our lives, and now he's voluntarily going to his death. Old Cao is getting more muddled the older he gets!"

"The monster didn't attack us just now, maybe it's just because it was full!"

Titan Beast Hypothesis

Even if they are all monsters!

However, in Old Cao's mind, his perception of monsters had undergone a subversive change!

Monsters cannot all be judged by the same standard!

Old Cao was a survivor who had personally faced a monster attack; if the mecha hadn't arrived early, he would have lost his life long ago.

But this Beast King was different!

Just a moment ago, when that mysterious monster was floating on the surface and moving about, seemingly searching for something, it had come within a few dozen meters of the boat Old Cao was on!

Yet, other than the massive waves it kicked up, which caused the boat to rock a bit, it made no other moves.

Afterward, it seemed to discover some kind of trail, and the Beast King headed east, swimming deeper into the Pacific Ocean.

Throughout this entire process, it hadn't committed a single act of aggression against the humans!

If he had heard someone say such a thing in the past, Old Cao would have certainly kicked them away and retorted with one sentence: "Screw you, stop spouting nonsense!"

But seeing is believing!

This monster was different from all the monsters he had seen before!

Even if others thought he had gone crazy, Old Cao still took a few people with him, boarded a speedboat, and followed behind the mysterious monster, trailing it all the way.

He must have discovered something! Monsters possess detection capabilities that transcend human limits; he must have found some clues that we haven't!

Old Cao roared internally:

I have to follow him! I have to see what exactly he is planning to do!
