Chapter 172: Edge of Tomorrow
2000 space-time coins, this is the cost of Mawson's ontology advent this time.
Without any hesitation, Mawson chose to descend in his body, and then his eyes went dark and he lost consciousness.
Edge of Tomorrow is about a war between humans and alien creatures in the future.
In the future, an alien organism known as mimicry descended from Germany and spread to the whole world at a rapid pace.
Germany, France, and Britain were all quickly lost under the ravages of alien creatures, and just when mankind was panicking, the joint defense forces won a crucial war in Verdun, France!
In that battle, humanity wreaked havoc on alien creatures and gained a rare respite, in which a female warrior named Rita Wolassky stood out as a hero for the entire human race!
Her deeds are being reported all over the world, the army has launched a large-scale propaganda, countless young people have been recruited to rush to the front battlefield, people are full of hope for the future, and a full-scale counteroffensive that will completely set the tide of war is about to begin!
And the protagonist of the story, William Cage, as a media commissioner for the U.S. military, came to the front battlefield the day before the counterattack.
By mistake, he was sent to the front line by the general stationed in London, and Cage, who had no training, died without any suspense as soon as the two sides fought.
After his death, he gains a special ability that, similar to the game reader, allows him to experience the day before he dies repeatedly, which Cage uses to find an opportunity to defeat alien creatures.
Although these alien creatures are made up of countless individual individuals, in fact their entire vast population is like an organic whole.
Controlled by a core brain named Omega, this is the kind of thing that Mawson's mission is about.
The entire alien population is divided into three types of organisms, Omega, which is responsible for command and coordination, Alpha, which protects Omega, and a large number of ordinary mimicry.
Alpha is scarce in number and has a special ability that allows him to anticipate the actions of his enemies, just like the central nervous system, and Omega is its brain.
Omega has the ability to control time, and once the Alpha is killed, this automatic reaction is triggered, and Omega restarts the day, remembering what is about to happen.
In this way, it will anticipate human actions before they do, and avoid dangers in advance.
Enemies who can predict the future are difficult to defeat.
As a result of killing an Alpha before he died, William Cage's blood "fluid" and Alpha's blood "fluid" fused together, giving him an Alpha-like ability.
The general plot of this movie Mo Sen still has some impressions, but too long time has passed, and many of the details in it cannot be fully recalled by him for a while.
At this moment, the darkness in front of him receded, and he regained his perception of the outside world.
"Boom!"
The sound of a violent explosion sounded in his ears, and Mawson lay on the ground, hit by the shattered stones, and felt a faint pain.
"Is it the place of some poor ghost who just died?"
Feeling the bio battery on his chest, he knew he had arrived here in a similar way to the previous world, but it seemed as if he was in a war zone.
As soon as it came, the body's reaction was still slightly sluggish, and a faint cry came from his ears: "How are you, Mawson?" Stand up, we need to get out of here! ”
After three or two breaths, Mawson regained control of his body, and when he looked up, all he could see was the skyrocketing artillery fire and flying earth and rock.
"It looks like it was directly put on the battlefield in front."
He wears an exoskeleton mechanical power unit.
This thing is considered to be the most effective piece of equipment for humans to resist alien creatures in the movie, this is not a full-coverage armor like Iron Man, only some obscuration in key parts.
The main thing is to provide strong assistance and fire support for the "operation" soldiers.
In the movie, there was once a soldier wearing this equipment and stopping the car driven by Cage and others.
However, according to Mawson's observation, the one he was wearing was supposed to be a simple version, which could not provide such a powerful power, so he adapted a little and estimated the approximate increase range of the power armor.
It's about 4 to 5 times the limit of the human body, but this data is only reflected in the increase in strength, and the agility is much worse.
There is even some lagging.
In fact, limited by the reaction of ordinary people, ordinary soldiers have no way to exert the true power of this equipment, and often before they can react, they are pierced through their bodies by mimic tentacles.
"Thank goodness you're not dead!"
"Come with me, let's go to support the battlefield ahead!" A soldier with a face covered in stains and a face that could not be seen clearly shouted at Mawson not far away.
After saying that, he ran forward with his armor, but before he could run a few steps, not far away, with a strange hissing sound, a monster with a fiery red body and covered with tentacles rushed out of the ruins in the distance.
Then it opened its mouth, and a cannonball-like object erupted from its red mouth, which was so fast that it exploded at the soldier's feet in the blink of an eye!
All this happened so suddenly, the soldiers who called for Mowson didn't even react, and the whole person was blown away by the cannonball, and after landing, the mechanical fragments and the stumps of the flesh were mixed together, and the dead could no longer die.
"What a brutal battle!"
The distance between Mawson and the soldier was too far for him to help, and at this moment, the monster spotted Mawson, twisting its tentacles, and frantically rushed towards Mawson.
"Roar!"
The speed of this thing is much faster than that of animals such as tigers and leopards, and it can be said that once it is bullied within 20 meters, the reaction speed of ordinary people cannot even keep up with its movement.
And if it comes within ten meters, the tentacles on its body can even pierce through a centimeter-thick steel plate!
However, this is for ordinary people, and as for Mawson, it is naturally not among them.
He was new to the mechanics of armor, and he preferred to fight with his body rather than with firearms.
"Blade of the Fallen!"
The red light flashed, and there were two more blood-colored broadswords in Mawson's hands, and he casually picked off the tentacles that the monster "shot" over, and then his body rushed forward, and in the process of advancing, his body rotated, and he slashed over!
"Quack!"
The monster let out a scream and was split in two by Mawson.
At this moment, four or five mimics jumped out of the ruins, surrounding Mawson, who roared but did not take the initiative to attack, as if they had also discovered the hidden danger in Mawson.
Surrounded by enemies, Mawson was not nervous, he fiddled with the "" control panel in his hand, opened the safety of the weapon, and behind him, a pair of folded barrels rose, aiming at the monster around him from afar.
"Quack!"
One of the mimics in front of him roared and attacked, and with this move, the other monsters around him also rushed out, and in an instant, the entire space was surrounded by layers, and there were monsters scurrying tentacles in all directions!
