Chapter 21: Red Alert!
Inside the secret base in Hong Kong!
Despite the beautiful wind and sunshine outside the window, the morning sun is blazing. However, at this time, the whole base is already full of rumors! Everyone, including General Koster, was nervous, staring at the large operational surveillance screen connected to the satellite radar with a calm face.
On the fluorescent display, the screen freezes on the area where several monsters are likely to attack, and in the upper right corner of the screen, a string of scarlet numbers is constantly jumping backwards. Since the countdown began two hours ago, every millisecond that passes has touched everyone's heartbeat.
It's been less than 40 minutes since the monster strikes again!
"How's the Hunter Mecha doing?"
Coster habitually took out the Fisherman's Treasure flat iron box from his bosom, opened it gently, picked up a capsule with his fingers and stuffed it into his mouth, swallowed the capsule with a frown, and asked Adjutant Powell, who was lying on the workbench and hurriedly debugging the data.
"The Dangerous Wanderer has been repaired, and the data is in line with the combat indicators. There were still some problems with the Chernoalpha's escape pod, and the weapon system power was restored to only 83%. Well, and your adopted daughter, Miss Asako Mori, has successfully completed a spiritual consciousness fusion with a dangerous wanderer with a 76% fit, breaking the personal record you held with the tango wolf before. Congratulations to the general army. ”
Koster's eyes froze, and a look of surprise appeared on Furui Bubo's face for the first time.
"When will the test be conducted? Was it done with Raleigh? ”
"Just this morning, General. This is the result of Miss Asako Mori's separate spiritual fusion, well, the data is very reliable. ”
"Pay close attention to the dynamics and turn on the comprehensive warning mode." Koster groaned for a moment with his chin on his hand, and after giving a deep order, he turned around and walked in the direction of the mecha maintenance workshop.
Well?
Powell looked back at Coste's tall and straight back, and couldn't help but feel a little curious. Shouldn't the General be happy to have a warrior in the base who can control the Hunter Mecha alone, and who is also his adopted daughter?
"It's unbelievable to Asako Mori, if it weren't for seeing the whole process of spiritual fusion with my own eyes, I couldn't believe it was true! How exactly do you do that? ”
"Would you believe me if I told you that a mysterious man helped me?" Looking up at Raleigh, who was dancing with his forehand in front of him and praising himself, Asako Mori's bright eyes shone with the joy of success. However, in her mind, it was full of the figure of the mysterious man she had seen in the training room last night.
Just before the last test session this morning, she summoned all the backup drivers' data from her computer to find them one by one. However, to her surprise, none of the profiles matched the characteristics. The man's identity is as mysterious as the way he left, and it's not recorded at all!
It is completely impossible to enter the training room without special authorization. But there is no record of him in the information! Who could he be?
"You seem to be a little absent-minded, Asako Mori. You can't do that to your future partner. I prefer to believe that this is providence rather than the strange talk of the mysterious man. As I said a long time ago, you have the talent to become a mech pilot. ”
"It's rude. I was a little distracted. Hearing Raleigh's slightly teasing complaint, Asako Mori, who had come back to his senses, leaned over slightly and bowed crampedly. The bun hanging down his forehead quietly hid the panic in his eyes.
"Well, that's normal, it's going to make people feel a little uncomfortable after connecting with the mecha spirit, I'm sure you'll get used to it soon."
"Thank you Raleigh, I'd like to be alone for a while if I could."
"Wow, okay girl. You've got to hurry up and recover, and soon we're going to start working together for the first time. ”
"Well, I will." Mori Asako nodded her delicate jaw, and was about to turn around and leave, but when she turned around, she saw a posture from the entrance of the workshop
Straight, striding adoptive father Koster.
"Maybe I should tell my adoptive father about the situation......"
Mori Asako's body trembled slightly. A thought still rose in my heart. From the standpoint of the base as a whole, and from her own point of view, she felt very necessary to tell Koster everything she had seen last night.
Seeing Koster approaching and staring at his majestic gaze, Mori Mako couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive in her heart. Going to the training room without permission is a violation of the rules in the base. And about the mysterious man, it was even more wrong that he didn't report it at the first time last night. How should I speak to my adoptive father at this moment?
Just when Mori Asako was hesitating in her heart, Koster had already walked in front of her.
As the saying goes, knowing the daughter is more than the father.
Although she is not her own child, she has been with her all these years, and Coster has always regarded her as her own. Looking at Asako Mori's gaze, Koster keenly felt that his adopted daughter seemed to have something on her mind.
"Mazi, Powell has already told me about your spiritual fusion. Well, I want to know what's in your mind. ”
"I'm ......" Asako Mori slowly lowered her head under the gaze of Koster. She'd heard the same question many times. Every time Coster asks a question, it's when she fails to integrate spiritually because of a mental disorder.
Whenever she hears such a question, in front of him, Asako Mori feels like a child who has done something wrong, and even hates her own mediocrity and incompetence. Despite his desperate efforts, he has never been able to succeed and has failed to live up to his expectations again and again!
Sometimes she couldn't help but think that if her adoptive father had been a little less strict with herself, maybe he would have passed the next test.
It wasn't until last night, under the guidance of the mysterious man, that she really understood that her adoptive father was protecting herself with this sternness. All in order to stop yourself from being hurt!
In the past, perhaps she would still choose to be silent to deal with this question. Then keep up the good work! Prove yourself with constant effort!
But this time it's different! She finally succeeded!
When the same question appeared in her ears, she no longer hesitated! Because in that short moment last night, the shadow that lay in her heart had been opened with the door of her heart, and no longer shrouded her!
Mori Asako lowered her head and was silent for a moment, then suddenly raised her head. A pair of delicate eyes stared at his adoptive father's increasingly old but majestic face.
"Father, just as you have always protected me and everyone around me. What Mako wants to do is to protect you and protect all people from being harmed again. ”
Koster's gaze froze slightly. Immediately, as if the ice melted, there was a rare hint of tenderness in his stern eyes.
From Mori Asako's firm eyes, he could clearly feel that the adopted daughter in front of him was no longer the little girl who was bent on revenge, except for paralyzing herself with cruel training, and was in an autistic state most of the time. Rather, a fighter who is ready and ready to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy!
"Asako Mori, in the name of the Supreme Commander of the base, I congratulate you on becoming the pilot of the Dangerous Wanderer. From now on, I order you to be on standby, ready to carry out your mission at any time! ”
Hearing these long-awaited words, Mori Asako's clear eyes were full of surprise, and at the same time, a misty mist swelled up. She had been waiting for this moment for a long time! The knot of years has been completely untied!
"Yes! Checkmate! ”
Calming down the tumbling waves in his heart slightly, Mori Asako straightened up and saluted a military salute very solemnly. At the moment when the fingers are level with the sideburns! A sense of responsibility that belongs to a soldier is still born!
"Father, I'm ......" Asako Mori lowered her arm as she wanted Koster to mention what she saw last night!
That's it! A shrill siren sounded
Suddenly it's ringing! From all sides of the base, it came to the ears!
"General Coster! Go to the Battle Command Hall now! At the same time, a loudspeaker came from Koster's hurried call!
There is a case! Koster's eyes lit up. Reached out and patted Asako Mori on the shoulder.
"Mazi, everything will be said when the task is over. Get back to your post now! ”
"Yes! I won't let you down! ”
Moments later! When Koster hurriedly returned, he saw that in the already tense hall, everyone's faces were not only serious in the past, but also a trace of panic and uneasiness!
When his eyes fell on the surveillance screen, even if he was as calm as he was, he couldn't help but take a light breath!
I saw that around the Mariana Trench, which was monitored by satellite radar, a total of 8 high-speed moving energy red dots appeared ...... 1, 2, and 3!
Three of them are heading for North American waters, and five are moving along the waters off the coast of the Philippines towards Hong Kong!
Five-headed monsters!
"Dr. Newton! Evaluate the level of the invading monster now! ”
"Bioenergetic level analysis is ongoing. Slightly, waiting, Koster. ”
At Powell's console, Newton reached down and took off his glasses, lifted the placket of his shirt and wiped the sweat that dripped from it. Fingers flying, controlling the keyboard. The signals transmitted by the satellite are imported into the bioenergetic detector that he researches on his own for analysis.
As the data jumped across the screen, Dr. Newton's forehead was sweating like rain! The complexion is getting paler and paler!
Finally, when the last point of energy was assessed, he leaned his back heavily on the seat behind him! Looking up at Koster, he could clearly see through the glasses on the bridge of his nose that his bloodshot eyes were full of despair!
"Three heads and four levels, two heads and five levels! Koster, Hong Kong is finished. ”
Five levels at both ends!
Koster's heart sank. Although Dr. Schulman had calculated and accurately predicted the timing of the monster infestation using probability, he had also asserted that the scale of the monster attack would increase again and again. What people never expected was that the situation would deteriorate so quickly!
Compared to the three-headed monsters that attacked last night, the number has almost doubled now! The worst thing is that there is even a fifth-level monster that is currently predicted to be the highest level!
Although Chernoalpha and the Dangerous Wanderer have been repaired and can participate in the battle, with the Storm Crimson, there are only three mechs at hand at hand!
There is no chance of winning against five monsters at the same time! Is that the end of it?
"General! Checkmate! Let's see what this is? Oh, my God! It's unbelievable! ”
At a time when Koster's heart is worried!
While Powell was surprised, he reached out and clicked on the split-screen magnification function, clearly enlarging a piece of sea off the coast of Taiwan, China from the northeast on the screen!
In the picture, a metal behemoth is wading in the sea, and its majestic posture is very familiar to the eye!
Eureka Raider!
Coster glanced at Dr. Newton, who had gotten up and walked over after hearing the news, and both saw surprise in each other's eyes! After nearly 30 hours of disappearance, this mecha, which carried the hopes of almost everyone in the base, has news again!
"Powell, contact the Eureka Raiders immediately and confirm that the mech is under our control!"
"Besides, pass my orders! Sound the red alert and evacuate all civilians! All the mechs are dispatched at once, and they must defend Hong Kong! ”
Koster gave the order in a deep voice, and the sudden appearance of the Eureka raider brought a glimmer of hope in the midst of despair!
