Chapter Seventy-Four: Lifted
"Pock!"
Beckett shouted hurriedly, trying to calm down Asako, but unfortunately the young Asako, who was stunned by the ugly appearance of the monster, was unaware of Beckett's voice, and Beckett wanted to reach out to stop it, but his arm passed through Mazi, like an illusory shadow.
In the memory of the synaesthetist, the consciousness of another synaesthete can only enter in the way of a third person, like watching a movie, you can see what is happening, but you can't do anything about what is happening.
The wheel of history rolls forward and cannot be reversed, this is the law of nature itself, and no one can change it.
However, at this moment, the buzzing and roar of airplanes was heard again in the sky, and several planes hoisted a large humanoid object, which swept over the heads of Beckett and Mako, casting a large shadow.
Beckett looked up, and as an experienced pilot, he recognized at a glance that it was a Japanese mecha that had been destroyed in reality, the "Tango Wolf". The arrival of the tango wolf instantly attracted the attention of the monster, and he temporarily gave up attacking Mako, turned around and prepared to deal with the mecha, and Mako's feelings became a little calmer.
"Mazi, these are just memories, not real...... Beckett continued to comfort Mazi, but he looked in the direction of the tango wolf.
As early as 2016, when he attended the hunter school for pilot training, Beckett learned about the history of mecha in the theory course, and at that time, it was just a month after the Tokyo incident, but they had not yet become pilots.
"Demon Witch" landed in Tokyo on May 16, 2016. On June 21, 2016, the Beckett brothers and Cai Tiantong, Newton. Dr. Gersler (the biological scientist who has synaesthesia with monsters). At the same time, he enrolled in the second phase of the Hunter School and officially became a student of the class of 2016.
Hunter Cadet was first established on July 24, 2015, including Pantcoster, Heck. The first batch of trainees, including the Hansen brothers, the Merriam-Webster brothers, and so on, went to Kodiak Island for training.
It is worth mentioning that at this time with Heck (active Eureka Raider driver. Chuck's dad) was trained with his younger brother Scott. Hansen, however, this good old brother obviously can't control his younger brother, and Scott is a guy with a very bad character. Not only did he repeatedly violate discipline, but he was also very lascivious, and was finally reported by Heck himself and expelled from PPDC. And a few years later, Heck's son became a driver. But this guy is not at all reliable compared to Scott.
A disobedient younger brother. A high-minded and arrogant son, Heck didn't bother less.
Among the first batch of pilots, many people participated in the piloting of the first generation of mechas, such as Pantcost, who was assigned to the Japanese mecha "Tango Wolf", and participated in the subsequent defense of Tokyo, saving the young Asako, and at the same time, he also suffered from nuclear radiation and suffered from physical problems, and could no longer continue to drive the mecha. He could only retire as an instructor for the Hunter Cadets, and the Beckett brothers were his first students.
After the events in Tokyo. The Japanese side recalled the first mecha, and it is also the first mecha made by humans, the "Invisible Ronin", this mecha has been in service in South America before, and was recalled to the Tokyo base after the Tokyo incident, and formed a double defense line with the "Tango Wolf", in order to prevent the recurrence of this situation.
After all, it is the country that has suffered the most monster attacks in novels and anime, and Transformers also originated in Japan, as well as its own heavy industry base, so in terms of the development of mechas, Japan even caught up with the United States and took the lead in developing the world's first generation of mecha "Invisible Ronin".
Of course, the main combat object of the first generation of mecha is the first generation of Kaiju Beast, and its destructive power and combat effectiveness are much weaker than those of the third generation and the fourth generation, but it is also the generation of mecha that successfully repels the monster and gives governments a shot in the arm to support the construction and development of PPDC.
At this moment, Beckett personally saw the battle picture of the tango wolf in Tokyo in Asako's memory, and combined with some information he learned when he participated in the pilot selection, he suddenly had some clues.
The earth suddenly trembled, obviously the behemoth of the tango wolf mecha landed, and due to the obstruction of the surrounding buildings, Beckett and Mazi could only hear the screams of the monster and the muffled sound of fists to the flesh, as well as the constant vibration, the second-generation monster was much easier to deal with than the third-generation monster, so after a few minutes, the balance of victory finally fell to the tango wolf, and the "demon witch" finally fell to the ground after letting out an unwilling roar.
Hearing the movement outside disappearing, restoring the dead silence, the young Mazi finally decided to go out to have a look, Beckett followed, out of the street, you can see that the street that was in good condition not long ago has been completely turned into ruins at this moment, the buildings on both sides have been destroyed by Yanzhòng, and the outer walls of some residential buildings have been scraped off directly, revealing the box-like bedroom inside, which looks very bleak.
In the direction where Asako came, the huge body of the "Demon Witch" had fallen to the ground, no longer moving, and blue blood flowed down the corpse.
On the other side, there is a huge mecha, golden sunlight is projected from behind the mecha, as if the mecha is like a god of war falling from the sky, Mazi blocks the sunlight with his hand, trying to see clearly the appearance of the person who saved him.
The position of the tango wolf cockpit is also at the head, Beckett can see that the hatch of the head of the mecha has been opened, and a person is crawling out, shrouded in a very old electronic warfare suit, Beckett recognized it at a glance, it was when he first joined the hunter cadet, the oldest electronic combat suit equipped by the first generation of pilots, because it was too bulky and not modern enough, it had long been eliminated.
And when the other party took off his helmet, the face he showed made Beckett sigh even more, which seemed to be a somewhat accidental but inevitable result. The tall, dark-skinned driver was none other than Beckett's familiar Pantcoster.
At this point, Beckett finally understood that when he questioned Mako, Mazi replied with a firm face that he respected Pantcoster, and the answer was revealed at this moment.
Pantcoster took Asako from the monster and raised it, and when the Hunter Cadets conducted the third phase of recruitment, Asako was selected at the youngest age, and the current Eureka Raider pilot Hansen, the son of General Heck, only joined the fourth phase of the Hunter Academy in 2018.
Seeing Pantcoster's figure, the originally panicked Mazi completely quieted down, and the expression on his face also broke into a smile.
……
"Everybody, get out of here!"
Under the loud urging of General Heck, the people in the entire control center were quickly evacuated, and at the same time, the people watching the battle outside also took refuge in all directions, and a huge sense of crisis surged into everyone's hearts.
And Pantcoster, who was originally in the real room to learn about the information obtained by Newton and the monster synaesthesia, suddenly heard a commotion outside, and suddenly his face changed greatly, and he quickly rushed to the control center in the direction where everyone came, as the commander of the PPDC, it was necessary for him to ensure the safety of most of the people in the entire base.
So when he arrived at the scene, the people in the control center had almost been evacuated, leaving only Cai Tiantong and Heke father and son, as well as Zhang Yang, making their last efforts.
"Cut off the power supply, cut off his main power supply!"
Fortunately, due to the reasons of the dangerous wanderer's own system, the main pilot could not cut off the command of the co-pilot at a critical moment, so the mecha test mode set up by the control center used the power supply of the control center to provide power to the weapon system of the dangerous wanderer, so that it could be cut off in case of an accident.
The nuclear power of the mecha itself is limited to supplying the basic movement of the mecha in the test mode, and it is precisely the dual preparation of the PPDC that has avoided today's situation from being completely unmanageable.
"Zhang Yang, Thomas, come and help! The main power lock is too tight for me to pull it out! ”
The power supply of the control center comes from the base, which is connected by a thick main power supply and three auxiliary power supplies, Heck commanded Cai Tiantong and Chuck to try to unplug it, but unfortunately Cai Tiantong is only a civilian officer, and in order to prevent the interface from loosening, the interface of the power supply is tightened very tightly, so Cai Tiantong did not pull it out after exhausting his strength, so he could only ask Zhang Yang and the two for help.
"I'll be right here!"
Zhang Yang and Thomas glanced at each other, and immediately went over to help, Thomas and Chuck were responsible for pulling out the auxiliary power supply, Zhang Yang was responsible for the main power supply, the main power supply was the thickness of an adult's forearm, and opened the safety device of the lock under the guidance of Cai Tiantong, Zhang Yang pulled it back with all his might.
With a soft bang, the thick cable was pulled off by Zhang Yang, and when he turned around, he could see that the blue electric light of the Wanderer howitzer had dimmed, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"The weapon system was forcibly disconnected due to insufficient power supply......"
In the cockpit, Beckett saw that the weapon system was forcibly cut off from the outside world, thus forcibly stopping the weapon system, so he hurriedly left his driver's seat and ran to Mazi.
"After the nervous system training is over, and the driver's synaesthesia link has been disconnected, do you want to try again?"
The sound of the mechanical system echoed in the cockpit, and Beckett helped the detached Mako up and left the cockpit.
In Mazi's memory just now, Beckett saw the scene of Pantcoster saving Mazi, and in another memory, Beckett clearly saw another familiar figure. (To be continued......)
