Free Web NovelChapter 1132: Chapter 131: Giant Beast (11)
[Detected space fluctuation signals, detected space fluctuation signals.]
The electronic mechanical sound emanated from the large screen in the command hall. The crowd turned their heads to look, only to see a blue-black seabed plane map appear on the screen, with two bright red dots.
[Northern Latitude 25°16′, Eastern Longitude 136°43′]
[Space fluctuation energy level: 4]
[Quantity: 2]
"Two level fours?"
Someone in the hall couldn’t help but exclaim quietly,
The PPDC ranks all deep-sea creatures from different dimensions into five levels according to space fluctuation energy levels,
Level-one deep-sea creatures generally range in height from 0.5 meters to 5 meters. They are usually transmitted along with large deep-sea creatures, numerous, serving as a servant army to block firepower, lacking the ability to release an A.T. Force Field.
Level two ranges from 5 meters to 20 meters, already possessing initial A.T. Force Field potential,
The PPDC’s medium and small mechas use the pineal bodies extracted from level-two monsters.
Level three ranges from 20 meters to 60 meters, deep-sea creatures at this level cannot yet be called Giant Beasts, but the A.T. Force Field they release can withstand most of the modern human army’s firepower.
At the beginning of the monster war, the main invasion force of this planet was level three monsters,
such as the [Demon Witch] that destroyed several districts of Tokyo, killed Mori Masako’s parents, and was finally slain by General Stake, then the driver of "Tango Wolf".
Level-four deep-sea creatures have only appeared in the past few years, with a more enormous size, true war beasts capable of causing fatal threats to modern cities,
such as [Sickle Head], which invaded the Alaska region years ago and almost destroyed the American mech "Gypsy Danger", freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
or [Virus], which breached the anti-monster Sydney wall in just one hour two months ago.
To counter these four levels of monsters,
The PPDC not only categorizes deeper-sea creatures by size but also creates various mechs of different sizes and models,
Preemptively targeting the still unseen level-five Deep Sea Giant Beasts,
developing and producing the world’s only fifth-generation mech, built in Australia, the [Eureka Raider].
Two months ago, the Eureka Raider was urgently dispatched to face the deep-sea giant beast [Virus] that breached the Sydney wall,
defeating [Virus] in less than 1 minute using wrist blades, punches, and missiles, worthy of the fifth-generation mech title.
Unfortunately, the poison sprayed by [Virus] before its death corroded part of the Eureka Raider mech’s armor, requiring it to be transferred to the more well-equipped New Port City Broken Dome Fortress for repairs.
But perhaps this was fate,
The war between humans and deep-sea giant beasts has victories and defeats; to deal with increasingly powerful and comprehensive deep-sea giant beasts,
each major PPDC base often houses heavy mechs from different countries and battle styles,
rotating defense to prevent deep-sea giants from evolving countermeasures.
Right now, the New Port Fortress not only houses the stationed [Storm Red], [Gypsy Danger], and [Chernobyl Alpha],
but also the world’s only active fifth-generation mech, the [Eureka Raider].
Despite the fact that [Gypsy Danger] isn’t in optimal condition due to various reasons, the remaining three mechs can still handle two level-four deep-sea giants.
"Cai Tiantong!"
General Stake was the first to react, seeing that Li Ang and the two did not move, he yelled softly to his men, "Analyze the data!"
"Yes!"
Chief technology advisor named Cai Tiantong lunged at the computer desk, quickly pulling out images and charts, projecting them onto the large screen.
To detect deep-sea giants promptly, PPDC deployed massive radar sonar and unmanned submarines with surveillance cameras in the ocean,
Upon detecting space fluctuations, the unmanned submarines in the surrounding sea activated immediately, heading towards the space fluctuation center, capturing images and collecting data.
Cai Tiantong quickly said, "From the sonar detection results, these two level-four giant sea beasts, one is 81 meters tall, weighing 7800 tons,
The other is 63 meters tall, weighing 3400 tons.
A classic combination of strength and agility."
Stake asked, "Specific images? How many level one and two servant deep-sea creatures are they carrying?" freewebnσvel.cøm
Cai Tiantong pressed the keyboard keys, pulling out several blurry images,
The images depict two oddly-shaped creatures,
One covered with a thick horny exterior shell, with notably sturdy arms, having flat armor structures at the forehead akin to Triceratops head armor.
The other resembles a combination of a lizard and a tail rat, its limbs relatively slender, having a long tail, forked at the end, resembling scissors,
The hind limbs have biological membranes, possibly possessing some ability to fly or glide.
Nearby the two largest deep-sea giants, there are also one hundred and twenty smaller deep-sea creatures, all swimming west.
"The deep-sea creatures have grown quite experienced,
Information from the frontline indicates they first transmitted many level one and two deep-sea creatures, destroying most nearby radar sonar detectors and incoming unmanned submarines to blockade information,
Then transmitted the giants,
Currently, only these images can be captured."
Cai Tiantong added, "According to the naming rules, these two deep-sea giants are code-named [Ridgeback Turtle] and [Tail Rat].
The two deep-sea giants moved directly toward East Asia after transmission, likely targeting here—at their current movement speed, they will reach New Port City within an hour.
Of course, it can’t be ruled out that they are faking an attack on New Port City, with actual targets being Tokyo or Sydney."
"Notify Tokyo and Sydney to prepare for potential encounters as well."
Stake turned to Li Ang, "Mr. Li..."
"The expansion of the mantle has ceased; all Pale World fungi have entered a dormant state except for the original seaweed pillars.
Your people can evacuate citizens or guard key urban locations to set up city defenses."
Li Ang snapped his fingers, causing the Pale World Mantle covering New Port City to squirm, actively retracting and exposing some main road surfaces.
"Thanks..."
Stake took a deep breath, even though it was trouble caused by the other party, he had to say thank you on behalf of the Pacific Joint Military Defense Force, feeling quite oppressed and unreal.
Stake turned around, issuing orders to others, "Storm Red, Chernobyl Alpha,
I need you to guard the harbor outside the city wall, secure the continental shelf.
Eureka Raider, you are the only fifth-generation mech, stay near the city wall, do not engage unless necessary.
As for Gypsy Danger..."
Stake paused, glanced at his eager half-adopted daughter and the temporarily recruited former Gypsy Danger pilot Raleigh Becket, said sternly, "You are to remain on standby.
Everyone, move."
He slapped his palm heavily, all PPDC members stood upright, raised their arms, and saluted.
"The Earth is vast, but we have nowhere left to retreat; our backyard is right behind us."
After softly reciting the PPDC creed, they lowered their arms and ran towards their respective posts under the flashing Red Alert lights.
Li Ang looked indifferently at all of this happening,
After arranging the city defenses, Stake fulfilled his promise—dozens of staff, divided into several batches, pushed vehicles loaded with deep-sea giant organ specimen tanks, construction drawings, and metallurgical materials into the command hall.
Even with the command hall’s spacious area, it felt a bit cramped after piling up so many things.
Li Ang stood amidst more than ten push carts, ignoring the envious gazes from Dawn and Black Trojan, casually flipped open a tank cover, and scooped out a grape-like, functional position deep-sea creature organ from within.
General Stake subconsciously pressed his lips together, asked, "Mr. Li, do you need an explanation from our monster science department experts?"
"No need, you all go about your business,"
Li Ang nonchalantly waved his hand, countless vines extended from his sleeve, piercing all surrounding specimen tanks, analyzing biological samples, "I’ve got a decent understanding of the development and improvement of bioweapons."
