However, it's not appropriate to tell Old Pan the monster's exact whereabouts right now.
The main issue was that Zhang Tianyuan wasn't sure if the monster would continue its journey to Acapulco.
Because monsters can inherit and transfer memories.
The fact that the Scunner was banished into space was probably known to the monster's Precursors the moment the monster died.
It's hard to say whether this will have any unforeseen consequences.
After all, this timeline is different from the timeline in "2012." It can't affect the sun's eruption, but it should be able to influence an alien race.
To verify this, Zhang Tianyuan specifically inquired about the recent monster invasion incident.
It has now been two and a half months since the last Scunner invasion.
A total of four intrusion incidents occurred during this period.
"In these four invasions, all four monsters targeted East Asia and Southeast Asia, a unique situation never seen before."
Old Pan took out the latest monster report, pulled out the summary from it, and handed it to Zhang Tianyuan.
"They all happened in Asia?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Tianyuan knew that the butterfly effect had already occurred without him realizing it.
Because in the memories he was awakened, he clearly remembered that the destinations of these four invasions should have been North America once, Southeast Asia once, and Australia twice.
Old Pan nodded again to confirm the news. "Yes, Crimson Typhoon has been exhausted ever since the Scunner."
At this point, Old Pan looked at Zhang Tianyuan.
He felt that the chairman must know something.
"The monsters are searching," Zhang Tianyuan didn't disappoint him, immediately deducing the reason for their actions, "They're investigating the cause of death of the previous Scunner, or perhaps they're trying to lure me into taking action again..."
Old Pan's expression grew increasingly serious, but he was also somewhat confused.
"Why?"
Zhang Tianyuan then realized that Old Pan and the others probably didn't know that the monsters' brains were intertwined and could inherit each other's memories.
That was discovered after Dr. Newton had a synesthetic connection with the monster.
Currently, Old Pan and his team's research on monsters is actually very superficial, only staying at the level of physiological structure.
Some even believe that wormholes are naturally occurring, and the monsters are simply "beasts" from another planet.
Moreover, this viewpoint persists until...
It was only after his appearance that things were completely disrupted.
Zhang Tianyuan offered a brief explanation.
Old Pan quickly jotted down the information in his words, without asking Newton, and immediately believed him unconditionally.
Based on this information, he reached a conclusion that was largely the same as Zhang Tianyuan's:
"In other words, the first four attacks were tests on us. After realizing they were pointless, the Trespasser abandoned this approach and turned to attacking other cities."
"Get the North America defense zone ready. Once the monster's location is confirmed, I can open Spacetime Tunnel to assist you in deploying your mechs."
Zhang Tianyuan could easily guess why Old Pan had invited him over.
The mechs are all deployed in the Western Pacific Ocean, but one monster has somehow ended up in the Eastern Pacific Ocean.
This is almost halfway across the Earth; without Spacetime Tunnel, it would be impossible to stop the monsters from landing.
"Thank you." Old Pan saluted solemnly, then immediately took his leave to ask Tendo Choi for the latest information.
Zhang Tianyuan also came to the command hall.
Tendo Choi was staring intently at all the data displayed on the screen.
"Any news, Mr. Cai?"
Tendo Choi didn't turn to look at Old Pan, but simply shook his head. "The monster has now completely entered the ocean, and we may have to fight for another night or two..."
"So what's the situation along the Eastern Pacific Ocean coast now?" Zhang Tianyuan suddenly asked.
Upon hearing the familiar Chinese question, Tendo Choi turned around as if electrocuted. "Chairman, General!"
Zhang Tianyuan nodded and greeted him.
Old Pan, however, expressed his attitude with a cold face.
"A mass exodus has already begun along the Eastern Pacific Ocean coast, and countries are doing their utmost to reassure their citizens."
Tendo Choi picked up a tablet from the side and opened the Monsters section.
News headlines popped up one after another--
Lars Gottlieb, project manager for the Anti-Kaiju Wall project along the Pacific Ocean coast, stated that the Anti-Kaiju Wall has achieved initial protective capabilities.
Washington is urging West Coast residents to remain calm and have faith in the wall's protective capabilities.
Old Pan leaned over for a look, chuckled, and said, "According to my friends over there, plane tickets are incredibly hard to come by right now, and the skies are full of private planes flying eastward."
Zhang Tianyuan shrugged, not directly expressing his opinion, and casually said while flipping through other news articles.
Xxs-2
"From this perspective, their economy is actually doing quite well."
Old Pan turned to his subordinates and ordered, "Issue a statement that we will take all measures to prevent the monsters from landing, and simultaneously call for a combat meeting at the Vladivostok and Sydney bases."
When he mentioned this, he looked at Zhang Tianyuan again, and only after seeing him nod did he signal his subordinates to carry it out quickly.
War room.
As soon as Old Pan led the Crimson Typhoon team in, a group of familiar figures appeared on the conference screen.
The combat teams from the other two bases have already arrived on site.
Primarily mech pilots and helicopter pilots.
"Sir, are we going to deal with that vanished monster next?" The youngest, Chuck, was proactive and confident, even somewhat arrogant.
However, the performance of the fifth-generation mecha is enough to match his personality.
Old Pan didn't dwell on his initial question and replied seriously, "Yes, we are about to launch the most unique deployment mission in history."
He retrieved the location and direction where the monster last appeared.
"The monster's current target is North America. After obtaining more detailed intelligence, we will use special means to deploy you all to North America."
On the other side of the screen.
The combat teams from both bases stared intently at Old Pan's face on the big screen.
Listen to every word he utters.
until--
"Your mission is to stop the monsters from landing."
How to stop the monsters from landing?
Sasha immediately retorted:
"It's impossible for us; the monster will land successfully before we arrive."
The Herc, father and son, at the Sydney base also nodded in agreement.
"By the time the monster appears in the Eastern Pacific Ocean and we transport it there, at least half a day will have passed. The monster can't possibly wait for us in the sea forever, can it?"
Old Pan clasped his hands tightly together in front of his chin, his expression serious. "No, it's possible."
"Because we will use wormhole technology to transport you to North America."
In the conference room, the three brothers of Crimson Typhoon showed no reaction; they were among the first in PPDC to learn of the news.
But the rest of their team, as well as the people at the other two bases, were practically bulging their eyes out.
"We've mastered wormhole technology?"
