Taishan Arrives

The Dalian Shatterdome base.

Everyone watching the large screen fell silent.

Whether it was engineers moving containers or soldiers standing guard.

They all stopped their work and bowed their heads in silent mourning.

It was for the fallen heroes, for the comrades they had known day in and day out.

This was because most of the military personnel at the Dalian Shatterdome base came from the Eastern Theater Command.

The Jaeger Combat Department was a newly established department composed of elite personnel and soldiers drawn from various military regions.

As Dalian was its first Shatterdome base, the personnel were naturally selected based on proximity, meaning most people here came from the Eastern Theater Command.

The members of the Sky Breaker Squad had once clinked glasses with them at banquets and poured sweat with them on the training grounds.

The commander of the Sky Breaker Squad, Captain Li Yunxiao, and the escort pilot of the Dalian Shatterdome base, Captain Lin Huixin, had served in the same cohort and were the closest of comrades.

Unlike Lin Huixin, Li Yunxiao was more carefree, able to put his arm around his subordinates and mingle with them.

Lin Huixin, on the other hand, was more reserved, especially after experiencing a family tragedy, becoming much more taciturn.

But what they had in common was their love for the sky. With their ranks, they could have easily stayed in the Command Center and directed remotely.

However, they both refused, citing their desire to continue soaring in the blue sky.

No air force pilot wants to be permanently grounded.

That was their battlefield.

Command Center.

Mao Shucheng also stopped his desk-pounding outburst.

Although he was a commander, he was not someone who was good at hiding his emotions.

"This isn't the Kaiju's doing. 'They' tampered with the 'Mad Ape' and installed a weapon that restrains us!"

"Is there any way to contain it? If it keeps emitting jamming electromagnetic waves, it will be very difficult for us to strike it effectively."

"Of course, there are limitations. It can't constantly emit jamming electromagnetic waves. For example, right now, after the blue light surge, its body has returned to normal. It can only be attacked physically."

Herman pointed at the "Mad Ape" on the screen, which had already landed in Hawaii.

The "Mad Ape" walked on land, destroying the high-rise buildings in its path.

It was truly like a rampaging King Kong.

"It seems its target is indeed not Hawaii. It shows no intention of stopping there."

"No matter where it wants to go, or what its destination is, today, it will stay here!"

Mao Shucheng looked at another large screen, showing the journey of the heavy-lift helicopter carrying "Taishan."

Although they were still over the sea, the brightly lit coastline not far away was clearly visible.

It couldn't escape!

"Fire!"

As the officer on the ground shouted, an army combat unit launched an attack towards the approaching "Mad Ape."

Even though their weapons fire couldn't even create a spark on the "Mad Ape."

But as soldiers, they couldn't evacuate while civilians were still being evacuated.

There were no "humanitarian" treaties for Kaiju.

It was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, completely unable to halt the "Mad Ape's" advance.

It strode across the main island of Hawaii as if it were entering an empty land, moving from the east coast to the west coast.

A large number of evacuees had gathered at the west coast pier.

Because there were many ships here, many people swarmed onto them, wanting to escape by sea.

The ships had already set sail urgently, and some of the large ships filled with people had already weighed anchor.

The "Troublemaker Seven" were among them, having fled onto a large passenger ship that was about to depart.

Before they could even catch their breath, they saw the "Mad Ape" had already reached the west coast port.

The crowd, who hadn't had time to board the ships and escape, scrambled to get away. However, no matter how fast they ran, they couldn't outrun the "Mad Ape."

Even though it wasn't deliberately attacking the crowd, its mere movement could claim many lives.

"Holy crap (a plant type ^0^), it chased us all the way here! Old Hu, I hate you! I'll never forgive you even if I die!"

"I didn't want this either. If I had known, we might as well have not run to the coast!"

"A Jie, why aren't you moving? Don't you feel anything at all!"

"No, I've already peed myself."

"Scared, scared, I'm not married yet! I don't want to die here!"

The "Mad Ape" was already terrifyingly close, and the large passenger ship, possibly due to its load, couldn't pick up speed.

As the "Mad Ape" drew nearer to the passenger ship, some tourists on board couldn't help but scream.

Who could remain solemn and composed at a time like this? If you could face a hundred-meter-tall, monstrous beast without batting an eye, you were either stunned into silence or had facial paralysis, like A'jie.

Few could keep their wits about them, not even seasoned warriors.

But it was different when you became a Jaeger pilot. No matter how large and ferocious the Kaiju, as long as you were inside the Jaeger, you had the ability to fight back, a chance to win.

Just as the "Mad Ape's" face was about to press against the passenger ship, a massive mechanical arm emerged from behind it, forming a fist.

"Bang!"

The "Mad Ape" was knocked aside! Waves churned violently on the sea's surface.

The tourists on the passenger ship felt a beam of light shine on their faces, bringing an involuntary sense of calm.

It was a high-powered searchlight mounted on the Jaeger's chest.

A red flag was painted on the Jaeger's right chest, and two large characters were inscribed on its left chest.

"Taishan!"

Reporting for duty!
