Sizzle!
In the icy seawater, the giant hand of the Pangu suddenly and forcefully tore off the vocal cords from the back of the monster under its armpit, piece by piece. The whole process was exceptionally smooth and without the slightest delay.
The monster, trapped between the mechs, was like a large fish being scaled and clawed, twisting its body wildly and attacking the Pangu with its hands and feet, but all to no avail.
Even though it could bang loudly against the mech's outer shell, it still couldn't escape the control of the Pangu.
In the driver's seat, Zhang Tianyuan could hardly feel the pressure from the monster's struggles.
This is the crushing force of mechanical power over biological power.
The weight of the mechs is often only a quarter or even less of that of the monsters. The fact that they can maintain their dominance over the monsters despite such a huge difference in weight is all thanks to the power of machinery.
No matter how large a living organism is, it can never match the strength output of a machine of the same weight.
Even monsters are no exception.
Zhang Tianyuan watched the monster projection on the control panel and precisely manipulated the mecha to pluck its feathers. By the time it was almost sinking to the bottom of the sea, the monster's vocal cords had been almost completely removed.
The monster was now covered in wounds, and strands of its blue blood kept seeping into the seawater, changing the color of the environment around the mecha.
"President, should we kill this monster at the bottom of the sea?" Mako Mori asked from the side.
She felt that her president seemed to have developed a liking for plucking the monster's fur. What happened to their promise to banish the monster after getting close?
Why did they suddenly grab the monster and pluck its fur?
"I think you'd better banish this monster as soon as possible..."
"No need," Zhang Tianyuan said, shaking his head as he looked at the half-dead, powerless monster in the mecha's arms. "I've completely destroyed its vocal cords. This monster is no longer a threat. Let's take it ashore and kill it, leaving it with a whole corpse."
This also makes it easier to study its body structure.
While the monsters are harmful, it is undeniable that their bodies have greatly propelled technological development in the Pacific Rim Spacetime over the years.
For example, the " Horn " currently sandwiched between the Pangu has high research value.
Moreover, besides their research value, monsters are valuable from head to toe.
For example, blood can be used as rocket fuel, feces can be used as fertilizer, bone meal can...
In short, the various values derived from such a monster far exceed the imagination of ordinary people.
Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, it's best to leave it with a complete corpse.
Feeling the monster's struggles under his armpit growing weaker, Zhang Tianyuan's attention relaxed slightly. "By the way, how are things on the other fronts?"
While he was plucking the feathers, Mako Mori was communicating with command center, so she should have been aware of the battle situation of the other mechs.
Upon hearing this question, Mako Mori clenched her fists. "Both the wormhole and the San Francisco front have already engaged in battle with the monsters, but neither has been very successful."
Five minutes ago.
seabed.
"Everyone, prepare for battle!"
He had just finished saying that.
Raleigh then felt a strange current surge up to his left, like a wall of water crashing straight towards him.
Behind the wall of water, in the pitch-black seawater, a gigantic bone claw could be vaguely seen through the mech's searchlight...
Boom!
On the seabed, the already inflexible mechs became even more sluggish. Even though Raleigh and Zhang Qing reacted immediately, they still couldn't escape the attack.
The mech creaked and groaned under the impact.
"Beep beep beep beep--Alarm alarm!!!"
"Body"
Damaged, pressure-resistant system damaged, hydraulic system damaged...
A series of AI alarms sounded in the cockpit. Raleigh and Zhang Qing were also knocked out of control of the mecha by the monster's immense force. The entire mecha was sent flying and drifted helplessly in the sea for a distance.
The sensors on the control suits provided real-time feedback on the damage to the mechs. The immense pain was unbearable for both Zhang Qing and Raleigh, causing them to cry out in agony.
Despite the excruciating pain, Raleigh tried to regain control of the mech.
"I've never seen such a terrifying monster!"
It can swat a mech in the water away with a single claw strike.
The mechs they're riding on weigh nearly two thousand tons!
Moreover, there is enormous resistance in the water.
How much force would it take to send them flying like that?
" Gipsy Danger!?" Only then did the other two mechs react, and the Striker Eureka immediately followed the monster's trail to help.
Before he could take two steps, he was also sent flying by the claws as Raleigh shouted "NO".
"What kind of monster is this!?"
The Herc were equally stunned by this power.
The level four monsters they've dealt with before probably couldn't withstand this claw strike.
Only Cherno Alpha remained calm, driving the explosive steel spikes in its ankles deep into the seabed to increase its grip and activating its stationary mode...
However, Chuck couldn't calm down; he finally realized that this mission was far from as easy as he had imagined.
"We're already struggling to deal with just one monster; what if another one joins us..."
"We can't afford to fight them anymore; we must stop the second monster from emerging from the wormhole!"
Herc gave him a deep look, then maneuvered the mech to regain its balance, saying in a complex tone, "This is Yuri. Cover us; we need to approach the wormhole to stop the monsters from landing."
"If given the chance, we'll carry out our plan, carrying that monster through the wormhole to its lair..."
San Francisco.
The sky was just beginning to lighten, and the sun was just beginning to peek out from the east.
In the past, the beach was always crowded with people watching the sunrise, but today it was deserted.
And it wasn't just the beaches; the city was deserted as well.
San Francisco, still recovering from the monster attack thirteen years ago, resembled a ghost town.
It was in this atmosphere that...
The monster codenamed Flying Squirrel revealed its enormous silhouette on the horizon—a pointed snout, broad wings, and a long, ugly, scaly body.
The Flying Squirrel looks like an ancient dinosaur.
It's just that it's too big.
"This monster, codenamed Flying Squirrel, is currently estimated to be 139 meters long and have a wingspan exceeding 415 meters..."
The live stream is showing firsthand information about the monster; the information is all up-to-date, and there's even satellite footage of the monster flying around.
As can be seen from the footage, even in space, this flying monster remains clearly visible.
Finch and the others huddled in front of the shelter's television screen, staring intently at the monster on it.
"This is truly unbelievable..."
"Such monsters really exist in the world!"
Finch felt a mixture of awe and fear.
He looked at the other people on TV, who all wore worried expressions.
How can it be so big?
"The monsters before weren't this big!"
"Is Crimson Typhoon really a match for this monster?"
"How tall is Crimson Typhoon?"
89 meters.
"Does the Mutual Aid Society have any other options?"
89 to 139, a difference of a full fifty meters.
This height is even greater than half of the Crimson Typhoon.
Those who had previously been full of confidence in the mecha couldn't help but start to have doubts.
The fear of being dominated by monsters has once again surged into the hearts of San Francisco residents...
And over San Francisco.
Crimson Typhoon is ready and can join the battle at any time.
Unlike the general public watching on television, the Wei Brothers, as the pilots of the mecha, have access to more information about the monsters.
"Based on our speculation, the Flying Squirrel's body structure determines its weapons: its long beak and the bony spikes on its wings. These two parts must be extremely hard, so you must restrict the monster's movement and prevent it from running, otherwise it will act like a spear and pierce you directly..."
In the command center, Tendo Choi presented the latest research findings of Newton and other monster experts one by one.
Finally, he paused for a moment, then said softly, "Your chances of winning aren't high. If you're outmatched, you must use the plasma cannon to destroy the Flying Squirrel's wings before the mech is destroyed. You absolutely cannot let it continue flying to other places..."
"Understood!" The Wei Brothers answered in unison, their faces grim.
From the moment they were deployed...
Or perhaps they anticipated this from the moment they chose to board the mechs, and were already mentally prepared.
Now all we need to do is face it calmly!
The eldest brother Wei Chang, glanced at his two brothers, both wearing red tiger-striped helmets, their eyes filled with fearlessness.
He knew there was no need to say anything more.
"Let's go!"
"Um!"
The three men stared grimly at the increasingly clear and rapidly enlarging monster on the horizon.
Meanwhile, the Flying Squirrel, unable to maintain its gliding and beginning to descend, also noticed the uninvited guests in the air ahead. Among them, besides the live broadcast helicopter from the TV station, the most conspicuous was the Crimson Typhoon, which was suspended in the air.
The Flying Squirrel knew from their collective memory that this was its natural enemy.
Chirp!
The monster let out a piercing, high-pitched cry, then shrank its body again, resembling a giant drill, and charged directly at the Crimson Typhoon in the sky.
Other helicopters, seeing this, quickly flew away to avoid it. The reporters on board, though flustered, still managed to describe the situation to their cameras.
"Ladies and gentlemen, Flying Squirrel has set its sights on Crimson Typhoon and launched an attack. What follows is a battle between the mechs and the monsters. Let's move back a bit and continue cheering for the mechs."
If the Crimson Typhoon's attack fails, San Francisco, and indeed the entire world, could face the threat of the Flying Squirrel...
seabed.
The Pangu still held the monster tightly under its arm, slowly bleeding it out.
"Not going well?" Zhang Tianyuan followed up on Mako Mori's answer. "Since they're having trouble, let's go and help them."
With this in mind, Zhang Tianyuan immediately began searching for the coordinates of the Wei Brothers.
Mako Mori, standing to the side, instinctively advised, "We just need to eliminate the threat from the Horn..."
But before she could finish speaking, the scene before her suddenly changed.
Light shone into the cockpit from outside the mech.
We're back on Earth!
Mako Mori immediately realized this.
Thump!
Zhang Tianyuan maneuvered the mecha around and began scanning the surroundings, making sure to hold the monster " Horn " tightly under his arm to prevent it from falling.
