Chapter 374: Global Riot
Geheros has entered the solar system, flying straight towards Earth like a giant comet.
Not to mention, the mere fact that a star with such a massive mass is approaching Earth is enough to make people nervous, not to mention that this is the home planet of an alien monster that has brought countless disasters to Earth, which makes the fear spread even further, and almost the whole world is plunged into panic and turmoil.
Mars hitting the Earth is often used to describe an apocalyptic catastrophe, and what is happening today is far more terrifying than Mars hitting the Earth.
The International Astronomical Society has confirmed that Geheros is heading straight for Earth, which reinforces the belief that this is the last general attack of the pioneer civilizations, and that humanity is still so vulnerable to them in the end.
In the Hawaii front base, Wang Lei proposed to Zhang Zhezhong: "Sir, it's better to withdraw the planetary engine to the wandering earth first." This place is about to be attacked by Geheros, and if you continue to stay here, you may be affected. ”
Zhang Zhezhong shook his head and said: "No, it is very likely that Geholos was led to the solar system by us, if we evacuate at this time, there is no guarantee that it will continue to approach this side, and everything we have done before will be wasted." ”
One of the main reasons why Geheros was forced to take action in person was that it could never pull out the thorn in the side of the planetary engine fortress, whether it was the attack of a large-scale monster force or the spiritual attack of the Celestial Sound, it was thwarted by the Wandering Earth Expeditionary Force.
So this time, its target is likely to be the planetary engine fortress, and with this premise, the wandering earth can find an opportunity to suddenly come out and give it a fatal blow.
It can be said that this time the planetary engine fortress is acting as a decoy, and it is precisely because of such a thorn in the eye on the earth in the Pacific Rim plane that Geheros will directly enter the solar system.
The task of the expeditionary force, then, is to hold out until Geholos is close enough.
This is not an easy task.
After all, no one knows how fierce the attack will be this time.
Inside the Shattered Dome base, Qiao Lu was waiting anxiously outside the infirmary, and the information in Newton and Herman's brains was arguably the most important information about Geherros at the moment.
Now both of them are equipped with the same neuro-sensing device used by Mecha Hunters, and Dangerous Wanderer Pilots Raleigh and Asako are given access to information about the pioneer civilization in their brains.
The process was fraught with risk, and there was no guarantee that they wouldn't become as insane as Newton and Herman after reading the material.
The only hope now is that they are mentally resilient enough to keep their senses back from Newton and Herman's brains and tell them everything they know.
While Qiao Lu was waiting quietly in the corridor of the infirmary, the adjutant of Pantcoster suddenly walked over nervously and quickly, and asked Qiao Lu as soon as he came up:
"Is the general in there, please? I have something important to report! ”
"What's going on?" Qiao Lu asked rhetorically.
Now that Pantcoster is presiding over the neural sympathetic connection experiment, Qiao Lu naturally doesn't want this important moment to be disturbed.
The adjutant also remembered that Qiao Lu was now the supreme commander who had acquired the entire Shattered Dome Base, so he turned to report to him:
"A mob has gathered outside and is trying to break into the base. The leader threatened to burn down the place, and the situation was already a little out of control. ”
Qiao Lu frowned and asked suspiciously, "What are they doing here?" ”
The adjutant said helplessly: "Those people have gone crazy, and I don't know who spread the rumor that as long as the humans dismantle all the mecha hunters, the monsters will stop attacking." They also say that they will kill all the MechHunter pilots and sacrifice them as sacrifices to appease the wrath of the gods. ”
"How can anyone even believe this kind of nonsense?"
In fact, it is not difficult to understand that before the advent of planetary engines, there was no one who killed the most alien monsters than the mecha hunters, and even if this plan was eventually abandoned, the achievements left behind that year were widely known because of the hype of PPDC.
Now that the situation is not good, these mecha hunter pilots, who were once regarded as heroes, immediately became the target of public criticism, and were even wishful thinking by monster worshippers as a living sacrifice to Geheros, becoming the victims of this riot.
As an important base for mecha hunters in the past, the Shattered Dome base was naturally besieged by this group of thugs, and even many monster worshippers from all over the world came all the way to participate in this crazy rally.
Qiao Lu followed the adjutant to the entrance of the Shattered Dome base, and sure enough, he saw a surging crowd of people crowding outside the base, led by a group of strangely dressed Monster Cult believers, holding high kitchen knives and torches about to rush into the base.
Fortunately, the Shattered Dome base is also a military base, and the iron gate weighing dozens of tons directly kept this group of thugs out, and it can only deal with them in this way at present.
More and more people are gathering in this direction, and as the number of people in the assembly continues to grow, there are already daring fellows who are trying to climb the walls inside the Shattered Dome base.
This scene reminded Qiao Lu of the zombie tide in the Resident Evil plane, but here they were all living people, and they behaved more terrifying than zombies under the instigation of monster worshippers.
"Are we going to open fire on them?" The adjutant asked Qiao Lu tremblingly.
"Not yet." Qiao Lu said, "Let me figure it out." ”
At the same time, Gehros is still approaching the Earth, and has even passed through the orbit of Mars, and there are only a few hours left before reaching the Earth.
Humans immediately ordered the launch vehicle originally used to land on Mars to turn around and land on Geheros, at least to see a little bit of what this strange planet really looked like.
However, the images taken from the launch vehicle are only more desperate, and on the rusty red surface of Geheros, hundreds of millions of monsters are moving like its cells, compared to the monsters that have ever appeared on Earth.
What is even more terrifying is that the vast sea of liquid iron on the surface of its planet still cracks at random from time to time, spreading out for thousands of kilometers, revealing the huge pale and glowing eyes under its surface, staring rigidly in the direction of the earth.
It was only now that they truly realized that the planet was a huge living creature and not just an ordinary planet.
When this news spread around the planet, the global riot became even more out of control
