Chapter 224: Cyberpunk

It's no wonder that Liu Peiqiang can't look down on these mecha pilots, they themselves are packaged by the Pan Pacific Defense Corps in a star way, and every monster invasion is regarded as the best propaganda to show the military industrial capabilities behind them.

Another reason why Mecha Hunters would go up and fight the monsters no matter what: this is the best chance to assert their savior status, and the Pan Pacific Defense Corps needs this kind of show to maintain popular support for them, otherwise they won't be able to continue to take advantage of this opportunity to make a lot of money.

Mecha pilots are just their cash cows, not much different from the entertainment stars of film and television companies.

In fact, they do promote these mecha pilots in the form of celebrities, often appearing on major TV shows, hyping up the achievements of each mecha as public information, and sometimes even openly disobeying the orders of their superiors and taking some very personal heroic behaviors.

For example, Raleigh, the main character in the Pacific Rim movie. Beckett disobeyed orders to save a fishing boat, which caused the dangerous wanderer of the mecha he was piloting to be seriously damaged, and killed his own brother because of it.

These are all the consequences of idolizing the mecha pilot, but for the international consortium behind it, as long as it can make money, these are not a thing.

Under the operation of the capital behind them, even if they find a mecha pilot who likes to sing, dance, rap, and basketball, Qiao Lu will not be surprised at all.

From the very beginning, it was a huge scam in the name of resisting alien invasion!

Whether it's the Mecha Hunter Project or the Wall of Life Project, it's just a means for a few military enterprises and chaebols to defraud all mankind of their property!

Qiao Lu couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "The human civilization in this world is completely destroyed in the hands of his own people. ”

In the final analysis, it is the internal enemy of mankind that has caused the current situation of the Pacific Rim world.

It is indeed not an easy task to make all mankind truly united.

"Let's go to Hong Kong too." Qiao Lu suggested.

It just so happened that the driver of the Eureka Raiders had announced their final destination on TV, and Qiao Lu just took the opportunity to offer to go to Hong Kong with him.

This is the main stage where the story of the entire Pacific Rim takes place, and it is also the only remaining war base of the MechHunter program.

To learn more about the Pacific Rim, Qiao Lu must go to Hong Kong to investigate.

Liu Peiqiang also heard the content on the news, so he nodded and said, "I agree." ”

The two of them each took some samples of the monster's blood that had been splashed near them, and then left the place on the hornet again.

As for the various organs on the corpse of this monster, it is estimated that it will soon fall into the hands of black market merchants, and when the time comes, they can directly send someone to buy them, and there is no need for Qiao Lu to bother anymore.

The situation in which this world has become today is not completely without benefits for the Wandering Earth.

At least there are a lot of things that can be solved directly with money.

The next day, Qiao Lu and Liu Peiqiang traveled to Hong Kong, the Pacific Rim world, by international flight, to carry out further investigations here.

If in Sydney they only had a preliminary understanding that the world was controlled by large conglomerates. Then coming to Hong Kong can make Qiao Lu more deeply realize that the Pacific Rim is actually a cyberpunk world.

When they arrived in Hong Kong, the city was in the middle of a rainy night. Next to the majestic Mecha Hunter Base is an extremely densely populated civilian living area.

With its shady streets, interlaced cables, and glowing neon billboards, it forms a unique slum-like but avant-garde landscape, like a growing living scar that looks out of place around the techno-heavy Mecha Hunter base.

Those old and dirty buildings make it hard to believe that it is already 2025, and there is such a slum-like place in this city, which is the headquarters of the Pan Pacific Defense Force.

In reality, Qiao Lu has not been to Hong Kong, so he can pat his chest and say that this Hong Kong in the Pacific Rim plane is even worse than in reality, as if there are walled cities everywhere, hidden in the cracks of this huge metropolis.

With high-rise buildings and streets and churches separated by walls, there is a strong cyberpunk atmosphere everywhere here, which neither the reality nor the wandering of Hong Kong can bring to people.

The Shaw Industries, which appeared in the second part of the Pacific Rim, is now a large consortium that monopolizes almost any industry in the city, and even behind the Mecha Hunter program, they also have a figure to fund it.

All of this is undoubtedly a message to Jolly: Welcome to the cyberpunk world!

Qiao Lu and Liu Peiqiang walked on the streets of this cyberpunk city, looking at this city that was completely different from the Hong Kong they knew with emotion.

"I was also in Hong Kong before the helium flash crisis." Liu Peiqiang said, "But there is a big difference between this place and what I remember. ”

Qiao Lu said half-jokingly: "No way, even if it is the same city, the difference in different planes is very large. If you compare it to Hong Kong on the Resident Evil plane, you'll be okay here. ”

In the Resident Evil plane, Hong Kong has turned into a zombie-infested ruins, and of course it can't be worse than this world.

It's just that looking at the numb eyes of the people around them, it makes people feel like they are walking dead in any case, as if they are playing tricks in a movie, and they are living every day weakly.

The most striking part of the city, in addition to the Mecha Hunter War Base near the coast, is the quirky ancestral hall in the middle of the city.

Unlike temples of any other religion, the main body of this ancestral hall is actually made of the skull of a monster, and the entrance to the ancestral hall is the mouth of this skull, making those who enter it look as if they have been eaten by a monster.

Despite such a hideous and terrifying appearance, there is still an endless stream of people who go in to worship.

They are the monster worshippers who have appeared in Sydney before, and this ancestral hall made from the remains of monsters is a sacred place in their hearts.

If it were a reality or wandering the earth, this kind of cult would have been severely cracked down on by the authorities a long time ago, so how could it be so popular?

However, in this world, it exists so openly that it can even attract so many people to worship with devotion.

Maybe this world is indeed rotten to the extreme.
