"How's the situation?"
Behind Tendo Choi, besides Old Pan, Zhang Tianyuan also came over.
"The four monsters are currently rushing towards us." After a series of operations, Tendo Choi quickly projected the routes of the four monsters onto the holographic screen.
" Onibaba, Mutavore, Otachi, and Leatherback —these are the codenames we've given them. At their current speed, they could reach our shores in as little as three hours!"
Old Pan's face was grim as he peered through the wall toward the mech repair bay, planning how to respond.
Zhang Tianyuan, meanwhile, was deep in thought, staring at the code names of the four monsters.
He inquired about Tendo Choi's naming rules for monsters.
It turned out that they usually named the monsters according to their characteristics, and if they couldn't identify them or in an emergency, they would only use a code name.
In other words, there is no pre-determined naming of monsters.
Unlike typhoons, there won't be a situation where the monster's name is already determined before it even appears.
The names of these four monsters each represent their characteristics.
This also confirms that they are the same monsters that have appeared in movies.
According to the normal plot development, the Onibaba and the Mutavore should appear half a month and a month and a half later, respectively.
The Mutavore in question is the same one that breached the Anti-Kaiju Wall and invaded Sydney before the protagonist was about to return to PPDC, only to be killed by the Striker Eureka.
As for the Leatherback and the Otachi, they are the monsters that destroyed Cherno Alpha and Crimson Typhoon in the movie.
In other words, the Precursors on the other side of the wormhole must have thrown out all their remaining monsters just to launch a surprise attack?
Zhang Tianyuan couldn't understand what Precursors was thinking.
After all, they were separated not only by space, but also by species.
However, there's really no need to panic too much when facing just these four monsters.
Zhang Tianyuan tapped the three red dots on the holographic screen. "I'll handle the three monsters— the Onibaba, the Mutavore, and the Leatherback. The Otachi will be handled by PPDC's mechs."
"Beware, this should be a flying monster. Take care of its wings first."
Old Pan didn't ask further about the source of the information and was completely convinced by Zhang Tianyuan's words.
"Immediately activate the monster emergency response procedure."
Outside the Shatterdome Base.
The city's alarms have sounded.
Fortunately, recently...
Due to the arrival of the time-space visiting group, all functions of the city are currently being strengthened.
Therefore, police officers or other emergency response personnel can be seen everywhere on the streets dispersing anxious crowds.
In less than an hour, people along the coastal street and in various residential areas were all relocated to nearby underground shelters.
The streets were completely cleared out.
Ambulances and fire trucks with flashing lights sped along the wide roads, preparing for emergency medical care and cleanup operations after the monster landed.
Inside the base.
Crimson Typhoon is ready to set off, lifted by the Hercules helicopter and transported beyond the Miracle Mile, in preparation for intercepting the monster at sea.
The other two mechs, having already mastered the technique, used the wormhole to travel from their respective bases to the vicinity of Crimson Typhoon, where they worked together to provide protection.
"Viewers, this is Asia News. We are currently in the midst of a time-space exchange. According to the latest news, four monsters have reappeared in the wormhole, and they are heading straight for us..."
"..."
Along the coastal highway and at various docks, media outlets from different countries that were originally there to report on the exchange of information between different times and places turned into battlefield reporters, broadcasting the situation of the monster attack to the world in real time.
Zhang Tianyuan watched the media broadcasting from the shore and quietly boarded a warship.
This was originally transferred by Ning Jihua for ceremonial purposes, but now it has come in handy.
"Let's go, let's intercept the Leatherback first." Among the three targets, Zhang Tianyuan immediately chose the most eye-catching one.
The only one of the three monsters with special abilities.
This Pokémon... its ability is an electromagnetic pulse, strong enough to paralyze the infrastructure of a city.
CNC-controlled fourth and fifth generation mechs would be reduced to scrap metal in the blink of an eye in the face of such capabilities.
The warship quickly set sail and headed straight for the Leatherback.
The reason it was chosen is precisely because this monster's abilities could affect the normal flight of the helicopter.
Moreover, once an electromagnetic pulse attack is released, it will have a significant impact on the city.
Zhang Tianyuan wasn't the only one on the warship; Old Pan and a team from PPDC also came aboard.
This team is responsible for providing the monster's location information and ensuring that warships can intercept it in time.
Five hundred kilometers.
"Three hundred..."
"Two hundred."
The atmosphere in the command center was heavy.
The positioning team used methods such as maritime tracking and sonar detection.
It provides real-time updates on the monster's location.
Meanwhile, the warships that had already reached the interception position were constantly adjusting their positions based on the monster's location.
Old Pan stood by the porthole and looked out. The vast sea stretched out before him with only ceaseless waves, revealing no sign of the monsters lurking within.
On the other side.
Inside the base, Tendo Choi was reporting the location of the Otachi to the four mechs.
"Weren't there four monsters? Why do we only need to deal with one?" Wei Chang asked the command base from within the Crimson Typhoon.
Tendo Choi stared at the data on the screen and said, " President Zhang will handle the other three monsters. You just need to focus on dealing with this one."
"That young guild leader? How could he handle a three-headed monster?" Among the Gipsy, Raleigh thought of Zhang Tianyuan, whom he had occasionally seen at the base.
He knew who the other person was, but he had never had the chance to speak to them.
Therefore, apart from his identity, he knew almost nothing about Zhang Tianyuan, and even regarding the Mutual Aid Society, he had the least understanding among the mecha pilots.
The most helpful Wei Chang replied, "We were there at the time. The monster had just walked up to the chairman when it suddenly disappeared."
"We only found out later that it appeared in space and then fell to Point Nemo."
" Point Nemo?" Raleigh, who had never been a good student, was equally clueless about this place.
Wei Chang explained for a moment, then smiled and said, "Maybe it's some kind of superpower. We asked Old Pan, but he didn't say. I guess he didn't dare to ask too specifically."
"Ahem! Monster approaching, enter battle readiness!" Tendo Choi immediately stopped the communication between the mechs.
He took the Mike and emphasized, "Ladies and gentlemen, this is the first flying monster, and its flying ability is likely quite remarkable..."
After receiving Zhang Tianyuan's reminder, Newton and the others at the base immediately began flight analysis based on the size of the monster they had detected.
The results suggest that the monster may possess some kind of flight mechanism beneath its hands, which could be deployed at crucial moments, and its flight capability should be quite formidable.
If Zhang Tianyuan were here, he would know that their speculation was correct.
In the movie, the Otachi, in a very short time, used its large wings to Gipsy, to a height of meters...
