The ladder, or ladder of the sky, is just a popular name for it, and its official name is the "linear super-electromagnetic projection device", which is a railgun module that can accelerate metal shells with a diameter of less than 800 millimeters to sub-light speed and then shoot them.

It was originally designed to be used in space, but because of the sudden appearance of protogulars, human beings were helplessly caught in the quagmire of war, and even the defense was too busy to take care of themselves, let alone any space program. Although the ladder had been completed at that time, it didn't even have time to test fire, and was forced to be abandoned along with the position due to the complete rout of the human front, which can be said to be a super huge weapon that witnessed the day of defeat!

But now that Scorpio is coming, Rentaro must pursue victory through this weapon that symbolizes defeat!

"If there is still a weapon in the world that can hit the stage five protozoans, then the ladder is the only possibility!" Tiantong Mugen's voice accurately reached Rentaro's ears through the microphone of the mobile phone: "There is no time, you are the closest group of policemen, you can only do it, Rentaro, this world is in your hands!"

"I'm honored to ...... Although I want to say this, I'm just a policeman who earns a salary, and I'm still a newcomer ranked other than 120,000, is it really good to leave this kind of big thing to me?" Rentaro couldn't help but complain.

"If you complete the mission, then your ranking will also rise a bit! Isn't it much easier to think about it?" Tendo Mu made a joke, and then said seriously: "Run, Rentaro, you are already our last hope!"

"I'm running, I'm already running desperately!" said Rentaro, panting. He and Yeonjoo rushed on the mountain road, and Yingluo followed leisurely with little Bina in his arms, although he wanted to ask the god to help, but looking at the other party's appearance, he obviously didn't care much about the safety of human beings, and Rentaro simply dismissed the idea of asking for help.

Thanks to his efforts, he could already see the white fence wrapped around the ladder with barbed wire, and it seemed to be using all its strength to show the majesty of thousands of miles away, but the designers at that time obviously did not take into account the existence of the cursed son.

Speaking of which, the cursed child and the native animal appeared almost at the same time, and I'm afraid the designers at that time had no idea that there would be a group of superman-like little Lori in the world!

The bunny-type girl easily jumped over the wall with Rentaro in a princess hug pose, and although it was a little ashamed, it seemed that now was not the time to think about these details.

The two of them saw the full extent of the facility in the air for a split second. Supported by countless pillars, there is a circular object about 100 meters in diameter at the bottom of the ladder and next to it, which is probably some kind of device for storing electricity.

However, compared to the magnificent railgun module, the adjacent research facility is not as large as the Ota High School building where Rentaro is located.

Rentaro glanced at the interior map of the facility that had been transmitted to his phone, and immediately figured out the mystery.

The facility is an ant nest that extends underground, and the buildings that emerge from the ground are just the tip of the iceberg.

The room they were looking for was on the second basement floor, and Rentaro came to the central computer room out of breath under the guidance of the map and Kisara.

The interior of the dome structure is very open, and computers are placed everywhere. The huge, curved EL display unfolded right in front of them, and it was astonishingly clean after a decade of abandonment, as if it had just been cleaned.

Rentaro used all his strength to rush to the central control panel of the ladder, pulled out the terminal connecting to the outside, plugged it into his phone, and was asked to enter a twenty-digit operation password. Lotus was just about to ask, but Tendo Mu gave a set of numbers clearly.

You can hear the small voices of others behind her, probably Sister Kisaraji was appointed as the head of operations in the chaos, right? But at this critical moment, putting all hope on a high school girl, should we say that the bureaucrats are extremely bold, or are they looking for a way out for the foreseeable failure?

Rentaro didn't want to think too much.

The password is easily passed, and the green progress bar is read, the connection is complete, and the data transfer between the ladder and command begins.

"There is no abnormality in the power supply of the unmanned substation buried underground, there is no abnormality in the power grid, and there is no abnormality in the dewar used to store liquid helium...... Well done, Rentaro-san, we'll do the rest. Tiantong Mugen's voice was a little excited.

While the other party was in control of the state of the facility, Rentaro felt uneasy.

Kiga's voice wasn't too clear, and the progress bar transmitted to HQ was slow. At first, I thought it was because of the large amount of data, but it seems that it was a problem with the radio waves. However, this is why, the satellite signal on the mobile phone is obviously full, and Rentaro cannot find a reason why the data exchange is so slow.

He suddenly had a bad feeling that if the connection with the command was cut off now, it would be all over!

Compared with Rentaro's apprehension, Yingluo is looking at this high-tech room with a relaxed face. She came here to find out the traces of the third-party gods, and saving Rentaro was just a matter of convenience. If everything is as Athena speculated, the other party will definitely not let the hard-built balance be broken, and Scorpio will definitely be eliminated "as a matter of course", and the ladder is the best vehicle to achieve this result.

It is impossible to get the other party to make a move at present, although Scorpio is powerful, but in the eyes of the true god, it is at best a kind of beast, and it is far from a threat. Back then, the eleven stage five protogulars were all sent directly to sleep by her, and now there is only one, and it is estimated that she can't even make a wave in front of her.

The most likely thing she can do is to use human hands to solve this crisis by adding a bunch of buffs such as "Sure to hit", "Increased Damage", and "Ignore Armor" to the ladder through information modification.

With unremitting efforts, a miraculous victory was finally born...... People have always liked this kind of routine.

The reason why Yingluo followed over was to catch the fluctuations when the other party modified the information and find the other party's hiding place. Although the more direct and effective way is for her to take action, and directly smash this ladder to the ground to get the other party to show up, but not saving him is only the reason for his position and values...... No, it's a matter of divine quality.

In fact, even as a human being, Yingluo will not easily sabotage the other party's efforts. Even if she is a generation of swordsmen, she will not rely on force to eat and drink in vain on the street, after all, those small businesses are also people's efforts to survive, and they deserve respect, just like Rentaro and others do now.

Yingluo really doesn't like the humans in this world, and even hates some of their practices, but if they have to be cleared because they hate it, then I'm afraid there won't be anything left in the entire void.

"Come on, you don't have a choice, do you?" Muttered Yingluo. Scorpio has become a stage for the game between the two gods, and now Yingluo is the one who takes the initiative, she doesn't have to do anything, and the other party must show his hole cards. From this point of view, Yingluo should really be grateful to humans, ostensibly to attract Scorpio by death, but secretly forced a god to the edge of the cliff, this achievement is enough to be proud of.

At that moment, warning lights were lit up in the central computer room, and a woman's synthesized voice resounded throughout the facility.

"From now on, the linear superelectromagnetic projection device will be activated. Staff located in the connection of the superconductive flywheel power storage system are requested to evacuate immediately. Step 1 to get into the first stage and now start filling the energy. ”

A circular counter is displayed at the right end of the display, indicating the fill rate.

The touchscreen screen, which was obviously untouched, was clicked and moved at a dizzying speed, because the headquarters was operating remotely.

The thing similar to a joystick hidden in the console suddenly stood up, and then it was pulled forward by the invisible hand and pushed back, and the rhythmic action was almost like changing gears for the car, which made Yingluo want to "play".

Rentaro swallowed his saliva, he could imagine the hot operation scene on the side of Tendo Kigen, and he now realized that this was neither a lie nor a joke, but a real life-and-death situation, and the next blow would determine the survival of the Tokyo area!

There was a sudden tremor inside the facility, and even the ground shook, and Rentaro and Ranhara Yeonzhu hurriedly held on to the wall to stabilize their figures.

Looking at the image that switched to the front display, I saw that the base of the "ladder of heaven", which was fixed at an elevation angle of 70 degrees, was moving with difficulty while making a roaring sound. The moss and vines that covered it were torn apart by the force of the machinery, crackling and scattering, revealing the huge rusted bearings underneath.

Humans who have lost 80% of their resources are simply unable to do daily maintenance of the ladder, and this machine, which has been thrown out in the wind and rain for 10 years, is like a bulky old man, coughing and moving slowly.

But the slowness was nothing more than a visual illusion caused by its huge size, and its movements were much faster than it looked, and after a while, the orbit that had been straight into the sky became parallel to the ground, and then the tripods mounted under the two giant tracks were ejected, and a total of six "feet" shot into the ground with terrifying speed and force, chiseled the earth, leveled a small hill, and then stopped, which was a claw to prevent the reaction force of the shot.

"Switch to online mode and connect with satellites!'CYCLOPS' system activated!Main display shows target impact!"

The front of the three-sided monitor immediately switched over, and you could see the magnified image on it, and although the actual distance was more than fifty kilometers, Rentaro still felt a sense of uneasiness and trembling from the soul!

The appearance of Scorpio is clearly presented in front of everyone, the dark brown skin is covered with pimples like smallpox, and there are raised objects on the pimples, a total of eight scythe-shaped objects with barbs break out of the skin from the neck, head, right eye and other places, and stretch out in all directions with teeth and claws.

The target's head is unusually enlarged, and a beak-like curved object protrudes from the corner of its beak. The only remaining left eye was pitifully small.

What is shown on the screen is a terrifying giant walking on two feet in the sea!

If converted to scale, this giant reached a terrifying height of four hundred meters. As it peeled through the seawater, it impatiently swung away the missiles that tore through the night sky with its sickle-like tentacles, and although the burst of flames evaporated the surrounding water, it was not visible that it had been visibly damaged.

Conventional weapons are no longer powerless, and no amount of troops sent up will be in vain...... Rentaro was clearly aware of this, and even had the idea of running away in his heart. In fact, the military has received reports of a large number of deserters, but whether it is the Son of Heaven, the ministers or the generals, they are not surprised at all, because they have the same idea!

This is the natural enemy of mankind!
