Another Incident

The "Mad Ape's" massive body crashed down.

The civilians who had taken shelter around them, unaware of the full story, cheered in the aftermath, believing that "Cherno Alpha" and "Taishan" had teamed up to defeat the invading enemy.

Normally, they could only witness mecha combat on television or video platforms.

Now, they had become live audience members, and seeing two mechas fighting together, they felt the trip was worth it despite the disaster.

Of course, the survivors could rejoice, but who should be blamed for the unfortunate citizens who perished?

And then there were the twenty-two heroic spirits buried in a foreign land.

Recalling the "Mad Ape's" innocent, pleading eyes before its death, Xiao Shou shook his head, unwilling to dwell on it, and felt no excitement from the victory.

All of this was caused by "them."

One day, he would settle the score with "them"!

Next came the so-called aftermath work.

Even though it was in another country's territorial waters, one couldn't just fight a monster and leave.

Although the "Mad Ape" was killed, it was still bleeding from its wounds.

If left unattended, the entire sea area would become a forbidden zone.

This was because the special poisoning phenomenon known as "Kaiju Blue" would render the area barren.

No life could thrive there, not even humans.

In that case, the so-called tourist destination, "Rainbow State" Hawaii, would be deserted.

However, if handled promptly, there was still room for recovery.

As soon as the battle ended, Nation M dispatched its military to retake control of the Hawaiian Islands. After all, they had to show their faces to the public; otherwise, being seen as abandoning people in need would lead to riots.

Four heavy-lift helicopters lifted the "Mad Ape," dragging it to a nearby uninhabited island.

This was because Nation M couldn't keep this "trophy" all to itself.

Besides a portion that had to be handed over to the PPDC headquarters' research laboratory, Z Nation and Nation E were naturally entitled to a share.

After all, they had deployed their mechas and helped Hawaii solve its problem, so their "appearance fee" shouldn't be small.

The research and practical value of a kaiju corpse were very high.

Not to mention, the fuel for fighter jets currently contained a mixture of kaiju blood.

However, the specific allocation would be up to Commander Mao Shucheng to negotiate.

Well, it had nothing to do with Xiao Shou.

Due to the kaiju invasion, transportation in Hawaiian cities was temporarily suspended.

Flight schedules were also temporarily canceled.

Tourists from various countries who were stranded there could either wait for local arrangements or contact their embassies to request their national fleets for repatriation.

Nation M had already agreed to allow various countries to send fleets to the Hawaiian Islands for evacuation operations.

Although the "Mad Ape" didn't linger there for long, the damage to the city of Hawaii was considerable.

It was like having a room full of building blocks, and even if your mother didn't intentionally destroy them, just walking through could cause a scene of devastation...

Therefore, the city facilities in Hawaii were in urgent need of reconstruction, making it unsuitable for tourists to stay.

And as the country with the largest number of tourists here, Z Nation naturally had to evacuate its citizens.

"Buzzzzz!"

The thunderous horns of the fleet resounded through the sky.

Illuminated by the high-powered searchlights of the aerial towing helicopters, the red flags fluttering on the ships proclaimed their identity.

This excited the Z Nation tourists and expatriates present.

Their country had come to bring them home!

In fact, this was the case; the military had long anticipated this outcome and, of course, would bring their citizens home.

It wasn't just Z Nation; many countries whose tourists were stranded here had also sent personnel to evacuate their citizens.

No one would abandon their own people.

Even if they were in a dangerous situation.

"Never abandon, never give up" had always been their creed.

This was not an empty slogan, because the People's Army had always acted accordingly.

They had never given up.

And it wasn't just for evacuating citizens; several large salvage ships had also arrived.

Because the twenty-two heroic spirits submerged at the bottom of the sea also needed to be brought home.

We cannot let the dead bleed dry and then let the living shed endless tears.

Bringing back the bodies would be a form of returning to one's roots, and it would provide closure for their families.

After all, for heroes to die in a foreign land without even their remains being brought back was unbearable for those left alive.

Even if some might have no remains left, bringing back even a little something was still a form of comfort.

In addition, the fallen fighter jets needed to be recovered. Although it was a grand alliance and a united front among nations now, they couldn't be too generous.

"Phew, that was too close. We're saved!"

"Yeah, this is what they call surviving a great disaster and gaining good fortune!"

"Old Hu, what are you so smug about? I'll settle this score with you when we get back!"

The "Trouble Seven" also followed the soldiers who were guiding the national expatriates and tourists back to the ships.

This time, they could truly relax.

Because their families were there to welcome them home.

"Taishan" and "Cherno Alpha" exchanged a glance, then raised their arms together.

Clang!

Two massive metal fists collided.

This was the salute of comrades.

The surrounding crowd raised their phones, snapping pictures to capture this beautiful moment.

The surviving citizens also hugged and cheered each other, celebrating their new lease on life.

Just as everyone was immersed in this moment of warmth, an orange glow lit up in the distant east, much like the rising sun.

But, it wasn't dawn yet.

That direction was towards the west coast of Nation M.

Xiao Shou and Xie Yushan exchanged a look.

"Wanderer" is in trouble!
