Pacific Rim Godzilla Beats Up Monsters

Brother Li stepped forward at this moment, cleared his throat, and explained to the group with an embarrassed expression:

"This is Elder Chen, the Chief Scientist of the Capital Main Base. He specializes in mecha manufacturing and new material projects."

After a brief pause, Brother Li added:

"The concept of 'fighting to sustain the fight'—using materials found on-site, such as the exoskeleton armor from monster corpses to reinforce mecha plating—was originally proposed by Elder Chen."

So that was his background. No wonder Elder Chen could interrupt and join the Base Commander's communication channel to voice his opinions without being dragged away.

Hearing Brother Li's explanation, Elder Chen laughed heartily, clearly pleased:

"Good, good, good! You usually drive me up the wall, Little Li, but speaking up for me now is quite nice. I promise I won't lecture you in front of your wife anymore."

Brother Li gave an awkward laugh and didn't bother to thank him.

Elder Chen then returned to his previous demeanor, his voice filled with extreme urgency:

"Can you get your hands on the Shangang's corpse? You must get it!"

"I've already taken a magnifying glass to the analysis charts of this Shangang's corpse—it is truly a treasure trove from head to toe!"

"This Shangang is different from the one we encountered before, which was filled with venom. That Venom Steel Mountain was nothing but a toxic tin can; we didn't even want to bury it on-site for fear of its venom leaking!"

"But this one—this one contains a massive amount of both exoskeleton and endoskeleton, and they are all incredibly tough. The fact that your current mecha weapons couldn't even pierce its bone plating is proof of that!"

Elder Chen explained loudly, sounding very proud:

"Do you know what this represents? It represents a new innovation, a new breakthrough!"

"Ordinary people couldn't do anything with this pile of bones, but that's because they're incompetent. I, however, am different. I can do it!"

Elder Chen declared with a childish, tsundere-like pride that he could achieve what others could not.

Commander Lan finally spoke up at this point:

"Ahem, that is more or less the situation."

"Do you think it's possible to retrieve the Shangang's corpse?"

This time, not to mention the Zhou Brothers, even Brother Li glanced in the direction of the Shangang's corpse and fell silent.

They could see Scylla still focused intently on cleaning the Shangang's corpse, looking quite pleased with herself.

That was the task the Beast King had assigned to her before he left, so Scylla was working very hard and with great diligence.

Even as humans, they could see how earnest and diligent Scylla was; it was clear she wasn't slacking off at all. She was working harder than a donkey on a production team.

Watching from afar, it looked as if Scylla was treating Shangang's corpse like a precious treasure, scrubbing it clean with great intensity.

Snatching food from the jaws of a Titan Beast like this... the difficulty was a thousand times greater than merely snatching food from a tiger's mouth.

Scylla's six incredibly sharp spider legs stabbed into the beach, each poke leaving behind a deep crater.

It left no doubt in anyone's mind: if you angered her, you were essentially throwing your own life away.

"Titan Beasts maintain a neutral stance toward humanity; generally, they don't interfere with us, and we don't interfere with them."

"But once provoked by humans, Titan Beasts will also show their fury."

"Years ago, when Yamata first appeared at Mount Fuji, he easily strangled a monster to death, but at the same time, he was attacked by humans who mistook him for a monster."

"Yamata didn't hold back; he wiped out every creature that attacked him before returning to Mount Fuji to sleep, where he remained until he was awakened by the Beast King."

Among the group, Koizumi Junko, who had always remained silent, brought up the example of Yamata to remind everyone.

As the ace pilot, Brother Li was implicitly looked upon as the leader of the group.

Seeing this, he replied to Commander Lan with a bitter smile:

"Commander Lan, if it were just a monster, we would have charged in without a second thought."

"But Scylla is an ally... to turn against an ally due to some accident—and if we aren't careful, to die at the hands of an ally—that would be an even greater nightmare."

Scylla was not to be trifled with.

The razor-sharp spider legs that could pierce Shangang's body, along with that freezing breath capable of immobilizing Shangang for a moment, proved that this Titan Beast, while appearing fragile, was actually a terrifying weapon of slaughter.

If the mecha wasn't destroyed by Shangang in the end, but instead ended up wrecked at the hands of Scylla...

That would truly be a sad, helpless, and utterly miserable outcome.

Luo Bing heard this, pondered for a moment, and asked:

"Elder Chen, if we could acquire Shangang's corpse, what could you do with it? What could it bring to the mecha?"

Elder Chen, feeling a bit discouraged by Brother Li's words, spoke slowly:

"A much tougher outer armor. After stripping away the bulky, redundant mechanical armor plating, we could also significantly improve the mecha's flexibility. As for the mecha's raw power, I don't have any leads on that yet."

"However, in terms of weaponry, we could achieve a revolutionary upgrade. At the very least, the situation where you couldn't even pierce the enemy with a single strike wouldn't happen again."

Good grief. Aside from power and strength, the two main areas.

Everything else—flexibility, speed, weight, outer armor, and most crucially, the weaponry—could all be overhauled.

After being so cold and trembling with rage for so many years, was the mecha finally going to stand tall?

Luo Bing thought for a moment and suggested:

"Elder Chen, don't be discouraged."

"Shangang's exterior is so hideous; what interest could Scylla possibly have in a corpse?"

"I think she will leave once she finishes clearing the pollution. When that happens, we can sneak back and retrieve Shangang's body."

Elder Chen forced himself to perk up:

"I hope your words come true, young man."

It seemed that Elder Chen did not think Luo Bing's suggestion had much feasibility.

Scylla clearly had the intention of nesting in Malaysia.

Leave? Who knows how long that would take?

071. Do you know of other Titan Beasts? 5

071. Do you know of other Titan Beasts? (5)

Wait and see—that was the advice Luo Bing gave.

With the premise that they could not provoke Scylla, the group could only watch the busy Scylla from afar, not daring to approach or provoke her.

On the sea, the crew members who had abandoned ship to escape earlier had all landed on the beach one after another.

Since Shangang had targeted the Pipi Shrimp from the very beginning, and later set his sights on Scylla and the three mechs, he had never cared about these tiny specks from start to finish.

Therefore, except for those who were truly unlucky and lost their lives in the ocean waves, most people were fortunate enough to make it to shore.

All the survivors gathered at another part of the beach to settle down temporarily.

They also took the opportunity to put some distance between themselves and the Titan Beast, Scylla.

The emotions of grief and separation diluted the joy of this great victory.

Until other aircraft carriers arrived, they were temporarily stuck in Malaysia.

Transport ships could take them back home, but they couldn't transport the three mechs, so aircraft carrier transport was an absolute necessity.

It wasn't until this moment, when everything had finally settled, that the Philippines sent reinforcements.

The group had no patience for these people who had done nothing but show up at the end to reap the rewards.

After a few tepid exchanges, they told the latter to go talk to the base commanders back home.

Although the pilots were the ones in charge on the ground, they had just finished a fierce battle, and resting was more important at the moment.

They left all these trivial matters and official business to the commanders to negotiate.

Afterward, Luo Bing learned that Commander Lan intended to establish two small observation posts in Malaysia and the Philippines.

They wouldn't be sending any mechs, just a few helicopters and a small number of guards.

He figured the primary intention wasn't to communicate with the Philippines, but to observe Scylla from nearby.

The latter's intention to nest in the area had become quite obvious; it would be inexcusable not to choose a place with a front-row seat to keep watch.

Subsequently, the Philippine high command offered to arrange a temporary station for the reinforcements who had come from afar to rest and recuperate.

Brother Li rejected them on the spot.

Centered around the three mechs, the group had already set up a temporary camp using the supplies they brought with them.

The tents might not have been the most comfortable for sleeping, but having the mechs right beside them and being able to hear the sounds of the Titan Beast Scylla in the distance was far better than whatever temporary base the Philippine side was offering.

In the end, the Philippine side retreated, helpless.

Brother Li had seen a lot in his time, but no matter how friendly his temperament usually was, he couldn't bring himself to be pleasant to these people right now.

They had traveled all the way from home to provide support with three mechs, risking their lives to help them fight monsters.

As a result, one mech had been destroyed, and the Pipi Shrimp had been damaged; the losses were not insignificant.

Yet, while their allies who came to help suffered massive losses, these people had hidden away in their rooms, happily watching the whole thing from the sidelines without contributing a single bit of effort or suffering any losses at all.

Truly—shameless.

Brother Li was a civilized man; he certainly wasn't going to start spewing profanities or go on a toxic rant.

That night, the group held a small celebration in a large tent.

Brother Li didn't drink alcohol; he sipped orange juice while venting his dissatisfaction:

"We have a grudge against Shangang, and we cannot stand by and watch her slaughter millions of innocent lives!"

"We came here with a life-or-death determination, yet our allies treat us like this... it's chilling."

The Zhou Brothers chimed in from the side:

"These guys are all just thinking about their own little interests. When it actually comes time to do something, they aren't even as reliable as a Titan Beast!"

Luo Bing finally raised his juice and said softly:

"Forget those bastards. As long as we have a clear conscience, that's enough."

In the Malaya National Destruction War, Malaya couldn't be saved in the end.

This time, as Shangang attacked again, watching helplessly as she eroded the land of the Philippines was something he couldn't accept in his heart.

Afterward, Luo Bing used the excuse of having a slight headache to say goodbye to the others, turned around, and left to sleep in his tent.

The mobility of a Titan Beast is beyond what an ordinary person could imagine.

In modern terms, she is a "grind-master."

Once she sets her mind on something, she can keep busy for dozens of hours straight without any issues.

Someone like Scylla is the grind-master of all grind-masters; you'd have to add the title "Saint" in front of it to truly capture her level of dedication.

Ever since the Beast King left, she hadn't stopped working for a single moment.

After clearing away the corpse of Shangang, she turned to cleaning up the surrounding area and kept expanding her reach.

These areas, which were only initially contaminated, were much easier to clean than monster corpses.

Often, just a small mouthful of spiked seawater was enough to clear a massive area.

Just as the grind-master Scylla was working diligently, the surface of the sea in the distance rippled slightly.
