Hong Kong, Shatterdome.
It is also the headquarters of the entire Pacific Rim Defense Corps.
Mech Hunter's main system planner, Tendo Choi, stared at the holographic screen in front of him.
The monster's trajectory suddenly changed drastically, rendering the originally calculated landing point invalid. The new landing point is...
A long red dotted line runs straight from the monster's current location to the Hong Kong.
"The monster's target has become us!"
"The monsters have never suddenly changed their landing sites before! They only landed in other places after being repelled by the mechs and retreating back into the sea..."
Tendo Choi had absolutely no idea that this would happen.
" Crimson Typhoon, return to base immediately to provide support! Prepare to face the monster on our home turf!"
After saying that, he grabbed another Mike:
"The monster is about to land. Immediately notify the entire city to evacuate. Activate all emergency evacuation facilities immediately..."
"Open it up. You have another hidden room behind this, don't you?"
Zhang Tianyuan grabbed the man in sunglasses' hand and pulled him up.
Seeing the gun barrels surrounding him, the man in sunglasses had no choice but to obediently do as Zhang Tianyuan said, but he felt bitter inside and suddenly regretted closing the door earlier.
Click...
The medicine cabinet slowly slid open to both sides, revealing the space inside.
This is a dissection room for monsters.
Smaller organs and other odds and ends of the monster are sent here for disassembly or to be made into specimens.
At this moment, many people were inside, wearing gloves and working with various bizarre potions. Surrounding them, glass containers were filled with the organs of many monsters.
Clang!
The sound of glass shattering on the floor.
Someone spotted Zhang Tianyuan and his group and suddenly raised their hand.
Following this person's gaze, the others quickly raised their hands as well.
no way.
There were more than a dozen dark gun barrels pointed directly at them from outside.
And there was even someone inside with a rotary machine gun...
That firepower is terrifying.
Once the gunfire starts, none of them will be left with even a complete corpse.
Zhang Tianyuan glanced around and found that everyone was wearing white coats; the flamboyantly dressed Hannibal Chow was not among them.
Where is your boss?
The people in the dark room all silently focused their gazes on one spot.
That was a
One counter.
Immediately, a soldier who Wandering Spacetime stepped forward and, with the help of his exoskeleton, pulled the heavy counter aside with one hand. As the bottles and jars on it swayed, a man crouching with his head in his hands was revealed.
He was wearing a dark red suit with Chinese-style black patterns, like clothes for New Year's greetings, and the target on his feet was covered with layers of pure gold sheets that looked like fish scales.
It was Hannibal Lecter.
The soldier grabbed him and lifted him up.
"Who are you people?" Hannibal Zhou tried to appear calm, but his eyes gleamed behind his round-framed sunglasses.
The door had barely opened a crack when he nimbly hid.
These guys clearly aren't gangsters; he'd never even heard of the exoskeleton devices they were wearing. Even regular special forces probably wouldn't be equipped with them.
Why would such elite personnel seek him out?
I need your help with something.
Zhang Tianyuan was very impolite to Hannibal. This guy sells monster organs and various parts, but that doesn't mean he only sells those things.
He's definitely not a kind person.
He found a chair and sat down, gesturing for Hannibal to adjust his angle as well, telling him not to stand, as it was too high.
Hannibal Chow looked around. His men were all giving the French military salute, their hands raised high above their heads. Clearly, no one was going to bring him a chair.
So all he could do was swear that he would deploy dozens of machine guns in this base camp in the future, while humiliatingly squatting down.
"I'd like to meet with Pentecost to discuss a collaboration."
"What is it?" Hannibal Chau immediately became alert.
Four months ago, PPDC had already had its funding cut off by various countries due to its enormous costs.
It was during that time that he seized the opportunity and obtained the rights to handle monsters in Asia by providing PPDC with a portion of its operating funds.
Now that someone is suddenly trying to connect with Pentecost through him, it makes one wonder if they want to replace him.
Zhang Tianyuan didn't bother to answer, only saying, "Just do as I say, and please call the person I need to see now."
He glanced at a staff member in the dark room, who immediately handed over his boss's phone.
Looking at the phone in his hand, Hannibal was on the verge of tears. Just as he helplessly picked up the phone and started dialing a number...
Ugh
A piercing, long siren suddenly echoed throughout the city.
"It's an alarm! It's a monster alarm!"
"What's going on? The monster wasn't coming this way, was it?"
"Could it be that a second monster has appeared?"
The people in the dark room immediately panicked.
Zhang Tianyuan frowned and walked outside the store. Looking down at the street from the second-floor corridor, he saw tense people rushing to the surrounding refuge facilities, and the scene was chaotic.
"What's going on? Aside from the double attack in the movie, I don't recall any other monsters attacking the Hong Kong..."
"Has the butterfly effect already occurred so quickly?"
Thinking of this, Zhang Tianyuan disregarded Hannibal and told everyone in the room to leave.
"There's a monster coming this way. Let's go to the beach and take a look," Zhang Tianyuan said to Mie Juan and the others.
"Are there really monsters tens or hundreds of meters tall?" Mie Juan muttered to herself.
They had learned about the basics of this world before coming here, but they still found it hard to imagine what monsters tens or nearly a hundred meters tall looked like.
Zhang Tianyuan sent Mie Juan back to the "2012" timeline, drove up in a bulletproof command vehicle, crammed everyone inside, and then drove against the flow of traffic towards the sea.
Shatterdome.
General Pentecost was intently watching the data on the monitoring equipment.
"Can Crimson Typhoon return before the monster breaks through the Miracle Mile?"
The Miracle Mile refers to the area extending 16 kilometers beyond the coastline.
If the monster cannot be intercepted from this distance, then successfully preventing its landing will be nothing short of a miracle.
Tendo Choi shook his head beside him. "Impossible, the monster moves faster in water than the hoisted mecha."
"But Crimson Typhoon won't be much slower than the monster; it will probably meet the monster on our shore."
On the coast...
That means fighting monsters on land.
If we win in this situation, that would be good.
If we lose, this city will be completely finished.
Thinking of this, Pentecost couldn't help but feel a sense of desolation.
At its peak, this base beneath his feet housed 30 Jaeger Hunters, but now only one remains...
The world is ever-changing.
"Immediately send over the Cherno Alpha and Striker Eureka to provide support!"
"We cannot lose this battle!"
