Chapter 22: The Cicada's Shedding

Although PPDC didn't know the monster and didn't give it a code name - Fu Qinghai knew.

The fourth-level monster "White Snake" appeared in "Pacific Rim 2: Thunder Rising", and its special ability is to drill into the ground.

The overall image of the "White Snake" resembles an ankylosaurus, the color is patina, the back is draped with a large deck like a turtle shell, which extends to the tail, and the deck on the top of the head forms an angular protrusion, with a total of six legs, and each leg also has a deck guard at the joint, and the spike-like tail is also a powerful weapon.

Ten years later, the monsters appeared in advance, and even if the monsters in the animated series "Pacific Rim: Black Forbidden Zone" appeared, Fu Qinghai would not be the slightest surprised.

In hindsight, the reason why "Poison Woman" and "Swift Dragon" have been lurking in the deep sea and refused to land, and then inexplicably began to approach the coast, may not be to compete with "White Scar" for endurance - but to wait for "White Snake" to escape all the way to the vicinity, and then wait for an opportunity to ambush the mecha hunter.

The "poisonous woman" is indeed as shown in the movie, with the ability and wisdom to command other monsters.

But at the moment, Fu Qinghai doesn't have time to think about this. Because they are far from being out of danger.

As soon as the "White Scar" reached out and lifted the head of the "White Snake", he was slapped away by the "poisonous woman" and disappeared into the ocean again, which can be said to be a loss of face at all.

The people who look in front of the screen "chuckle" in their hearts. The heart that had just fallen immediately hung again. Five minutes ago.

The "White Snake" wrapped around the "White Scar" and dragged it into the pit, but just happened to expose its fragile abdomen that was not covered by a deck, and the mecha hunter broke free with one hand and used the Creus-type battering drill to take off its head!

"White Snake" was beheaded shortly after his appearance. But the "Poisonous Woman" and the "Swift Dragon" still exist.

At this moment, the two thick and powerful toe claws of the "poisonous woman" were scratching fiercely near the energy core on the mecha hunter's chest, punching one claw after another, causing large-scale damage to the shell of the body, and the piercing pain feedback made Zofia almost faint.

But the other person in the synaesthesia connection, who has always silently suffered the strong sting from the body's feedback, his consciousness is clear, and the feeling transmitted by him is as stable and tenacious as ever, like a majestic mountain, and like a deep-rooted old tree, firmly supporting Zofia, so that she will not be forced to break the sensory connection due to the repeated washing of massive nerve signals.

"So he's the main driver?" Zofia thought unconsciously. Concentrate!"

Fu Qinghai calmly controlled the mecha hunter, and at the same time conveyed a thought in his heart to remind his partner.

The "poisonous woman" pounced on the "white scar" and thrashed it wantonly, and the mecha hunter lay down in the mud stirring \ the dark pit of the seabed, and parried and resisted in embarrassment.

Nearby, there's the "Swift Dragon" waiting for an opportunity to sneak up on him - the damn beast takes advantage of his speed in the water and bites around the "white scar".

Nearly every attack pulls at least one metal part off "White Scar's" body." Gan Lin Liang!" Fu Qinghai scolded secretly and had a plan.

Zofia immediately knew what he was thinking.

The "Swift Dragon" is like a swordfish in the water, swinging its body from side to side as if it is shaking, and it quickly passes by the side of the "white scar", and the huge mouth opens in the shape of petals on three sides, and its real head is ejected from it, a pointed beak that emits fluorescence like a nautilus, and bites at the arm of the mecha hunter.

The "White Scar", who had been prepared for a long time, took a hard blow in the face from the "poisonous woman", raised the giant chainsaw sword to kill and slashed down, and the Ge-like barb at the lower end of the chainsaw sword hung the horn-like bulge on the shoulder of the "Swift Dragon".

"Swift Dragon" bit the air and quickly avoided it with a flick of its tail, but it dragged the "white scar" and dragged it out for a long time, scraping the edge of the pit and the seabed all the way, and getting rid of the "poisonous woman" entanglement.

"The head control is until the cabin is broken, and there is local water seepage!" A red alert is issued.

A large amount of seawater poured into the control cabin, submerging Fu Qinghai and Zofia together, the water splashed, the cables were thrown around, the alarm sounded non-stop, and the two were hit by violent bumps, but fortunately, they were not separated from the synaesthesia connection, and they could only confirm the position of the mecha according to the holographic projection in front of them.

"Swift Dragon" turned around nimbly, turned his head and opened his mouth to bite the "White Scar", "White Scar" lay on the monster's back, and grabbed the slender bird's head that popped out of the monster's three-petal mouth, and pulled it the bright red neck with a chainsaw sword, and the blue blood smeared, like killing a chicken and letting blood......

The headless "Swift Dragon" slowly stopped swinging.

"White Scar" was dragged into the deep water area by the "Swift Dragon", and after killing the monster, he quickly activated the turbine drainage channel on his chest, and the mecha hunter slowly rose up to the shallow water, and stepped on the slope of the seabed with the soles of his feet, and his head gradually overflowed from the water.

The searchlights of the surrounding civilian helicopters have been searching the sea, and soon the mecha hunter who resurfaced was found, and the camera followed the searchlight, and the audience in front of the TV immediately breathed a sigh of relief when they saw this scene.

"White Scar" strode out of the sea, the water trickling down its body in strands, looking very bad, its body damaged in many places, oil dripping, sparks flickering, and barely a single intact piece of armor on its body.

But he was holding the narrow head of the monster "Swift Dragon" in his hand." Wow—" The spectators in front of the TV were boiling.

Another one, another one!" "White Scar" kills a monster again. The strongest mecha hunter in mankind, and he deserves his name!

Anchorage Shattered Dome.

"Yes! I knew they could, and I knew that 'White Scars' never disappoint!"

A staff member waving his fist excitedly.

The people around them clapped their hands and cheered to celebrate this hard-won tragic victory, only Cai Tiantong, the controller of the controller, hurriedly leaned over the microphone and asked loudly:

"'White Scar', this is Mission Control to the Center at Base Anchorage, repeat, this is Mission Control to the Center, can you hear me? Please answer if you receive it."

The communication channel is still a static noise. Mission Control to the Center received no reply." Their communications equipment may be broken."

A staff member said. The open sea of Hangzhou Bay.

"White Scar" slowly turned around, holding a chainsaw sword in one hand and a siege drill in the other, and the head of "Swift Dragon" was stuck in the mechanical claws of the siege drill, and it was thrown into the sea casually.

The pilot group looked at the "poisonous woman" not far away, and the monster showed a rare cautious attitude, shaking the only two long tails left, bowing down, and slowly approaching the mecha hunter.

"Qingming, report the damage." Fu Qinghai said silently in his heart.

The holographic projection of the Mecha Hunter appears on the helmet visor, with several areas marked in red to indicate severe damage, and yellow areas to indicate that some functions have been affected.

"The right arm was damaged, part of the cable was broken, and the power output of the mech hunter in one arm was reduced by 37%."

"Partial water ingress on the chest has sealed the damaged area, and the power output of the energy core has been reduced by 20%."

"The head control to the cabin was damaged, the communication channel was disabled, the auxiliary aiming and fire control systems were taken offline......"

Qing Ming reported a series of damaged parts one after another.

At this moment, there is still a puddle of sea water under the feet of Fu Qinghai and Zofia, which is still the result of draining the water.

Fu Qinghai is very glad now: "Poisonous Woman", "Swift Dragon" and "Abomination" These three monsters are wormhole guards, they are not good at fighting on the water, and they do not have the corrosive poison sac spray and biological electromagnetic pulse of "Tailed Rat" and "Ridgeback Turtle"-

Of course, the "White Scar" has done acid-resistant alloy coating and electromagnetic pulse defense in advance, but at the moment, the mecha shell is so tattered that it can't be seen, if they encounter those two monsters again, Fu Qinghai and Zofia may have to abandon the plane and escape.

Although the "poisonous woman" is large but not bloated, this slender giant monster, three tails occupy half the length of the body, the tail is slightly ended with trident-like spikes, but one of them has been broken, and the fluorescent blue light spots and fissure-like glowing streaks spread all the way down its back to the end of the tail, flickering like a breathing lamp, weird and bewitching.

The monster seemed to be very patient, unhurriedly circling around the "white scar", and slowly closing the distance, the two sides fought for a few rounds, and the "poisonous woman" swung her huge hammerhead, and the four small blue eyes at the end of the fork looked coldly at the mecha hunter.

Suddenly, it moved!

The "poisonous woman" used all four legs at the same time, stepping on the water surface and rushing towards the "white scar" quickly, twisting her body left and right like a basilisk lizard, Fu Qinghai and Zofia put on a solemn posture and waited, only to see that the "poisonous woman" was like a kangaroo, with both legs and tails supporting the ground together, and pounced at a very fast speed.

The "White Scar" did not shy away, holding the chainsaw sword and the siege drill in both hands in his left and right hands, the two weapons trembled and buzzed together, and the curved hook saw blade and the tooth thread rotated rapidly, leaving only a vague afterimage, brazenly meeting the "poisonous woman"!

"Smack!"

The three-toed giant claws of the "poisonous woman" actually directly held the two arms of the "white scar".

The giant claw on the left, black crusty crumbs and blue flesh flew sideways together, directly pierced through the palm of the palm by the chainsaw sword, and the square blade of the chainsaw sword emerged from the back of the claw.

The giant claw on the right, interlocking with the palms of the four mechanical claws of the siege drill, was tightly clenched together, and was also polished in minutes until only a white palm skeleton remained.

Mecha hunters and monsters wrestle with each other's arms, muscles and steel cables contract and tense together, bones and pistons moan hard at the same time, "white scars" are pressed back step by step, and "poisonous woman" claws are completely useless in an instant!

But...... It's locked with the "white scar". Fu Qinghai reacted immediately and shouted:

"Be careful!"

As soon as the words fell, two thick and long three-pronged pointed tails, like two vicious snakes, drilled down the armpits of the arms of the "poisonous woman" and went straight into the head of the "white scar" to the cabin!

Although the two of them had the same mind, at the critical moment, Fu Qinghai only had time to twist his waist and fall backwards, and the "white scar" made this action at the same time, almost narrowly avoiding the first sharp tail that attacked, and then the second tail that followed, suddenly shook forward like lightning, and was straight into the middle of the "Y" shaped light blue mask of the mecha hunter!

"Bang!" There was a loud bang.

The light blue mask shattered and cracked like glass, and the huge three-pronged tail tip stabbed into the head to control the cabin, and the "white scar" kept falling backwards, and the tail of the "poisonous woman" chased and stabbed forward until the tail was stretched straight!

Fu Qinghai was stunned.

He stared wide-eyed at the black, dart-shaped tail in front of him, larger than a car, with the end of it reaching his chest...... It's only thirteen centimeters.

"Unlock!"

Fu Qinghai ignored the huge tail tip still stuck in front of him, opened his mouth and roared, twisted his waist and turned back.

The Cleus-type siege drill on the left arm, the energy output pipeline and the control to the grip instantly cut off the link, the left hand of the "white scar" was withdrawn from the "fist glove", and first a fist was swung forward, smashing heavily on the chest of the "poisonous woman", and by the way, a tail was blocked, and the elastic crust on the chest of the "poisonous woman" fluctuated for a while, and it was not visible that she had been hurt at all.

The tail was withdrawn, Fu Qinghai and Zofia's eyes suddenly brightened, and the two of them could already see through the broken mask the huge face of the "poisonous woman" outside, the four eyes of the monster head with a faint blue light at both ends, and also saw the two little spots of the mecha hunter inside through the cracks in the mask.

This time it's face-to-face. The more painful, the more exciting.

Zofia clearly felt the surging battle intent in Fu Qinghai's heart, and the stimulation of the electrical signal from the damage of the mecha not only did not make him cringe and timid.

On the contrary, Zofia even heard the beating of two hearts, the thrill of adrenaline rushing through her body, and the three lungs, frantically inhaling the salty, damp and cold seaside air outside the crack.

Fu Qinghai's right hand was still tightly gripping the chainsaw sword, refusing to let go, and after the hammer of the "poisonous woman" with his left arm, the gauntlet quickly bounced up and slid away and revealed the earthquake cannon muzzle of the black hole.

On the chest of the "poisonous woman." Boom - "First shot.

The "poisonous woman" was shocked, a gap exploded in her chest, and thick blue slurry rained down - such a close distance, without the need for a fire control system, she could hit with her eyes closed.

"Left arm, seismic cannon, 'City Breaker' seismic bomb, one shot, reloaded, three ammunition remaining."

A huge black bullet case ejected from his arm and fell, and Qing Ming sent a reminder that the ammunition had been reloaded.

"Boom-" Second Cannon.

The "poisonous woman" also had a battering drill attached to her right claw, waving her hand to block the left arm of the cannon that wanted to slap away the "white scar", just when the cannonball fired, it instantly broke its arm, and the "city breaker" earthquake bomb continued to gain momentum and drilled into the gap in the chest.

There was a muffled sound, and the "poisonous woman" trembled.

"White Scar" held the handle of the chainsaw sword with his other hand, and the lower end of the barb locked the palm of the monster's left paw, resolutely preventing the "poisonous woman" from retreating, and a huge black bullet case emitting white smoke fell from the sky into the sea.

Qing Ming immediately sent a reminder: The third seismic bomb has been loaded." Boom-"

The third cannon, as promised. This cannon has a piercing effect. Piercing out of the front chest of the "poisonous woman" into the back.

The monster was punched through the chest.

Fu Qinghai and Zofia can even see the waves\waves and the horizon behind the monster through the circular void in front of them.

The two pairs of eyes of the "poisonous woman" hammerhead giant slowly lost their luster, and the monster's body was crooked, and it shriveled and twisted like losing support, and fell to the side weakly.

With a twist of his wrist, the White Scar pulled the chainsaw sword out of the monster's palm, and the left arm of the Poison Woman then fell into the shallow sea, smashing the sky full of white water.

"It's over." Fu Qinghai and Zofia thought at the same time. Hooray!!"

Anchorage shattered the dome and the mission was controlled to the center, and everyone jumped up and shouted in unison, hats, glasses, pencils, keyboards...... In an instant, it was thrown into the air, and some people even hugged each other and cried with each other.

"Ulla—"

In Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk, Sakhalinsk, in the front desk of an old apartment, people gather in cramped halls, jumping and jumping, crying and laughing, singing celebratory songs in their mouths...... The same scene happened in different countries and different occasions, bars, squares, homes...... People are as happy as if their country's football team has won the World Cup.

"Bang!"

In the United Nations headquarters building, the representative of Hua Guo slammed his fist on the table, his tense mood suddenly relaxed, he looked at the picture on the screen in a daze, and muttered to himself:

"I heard that the main pilot of 'White Scar' is a man from the country, and this is a mecha from the country, right......?"

"Remind the Chinese representative that from the fifth generation, the 'nationality' setting has been canceled for mecha hunters, which is a mecha hunter belonging to all mankind, and this is also a victory for all mankind."

Representative Yingguo hurriedly interjected. Nope." The representative of Huaguo shook his head and said affirmatively:

"This is a Junguo mecha!" In the shallow sea of Hangzhou Bay.

The head of the mecha was seriously damaged, all the detection equipment had failed, the "white scar" hung its head, and Fu Qinghai and Zofia looked at the monster corpse under their feet through the crack.

"Whew......" The two of them gasped in unison.

At this moment, exhaustion and fatigue came to his heart at the same time, and the mecha hunter slowly turned around, ready to leave.

"Wait a minute." Fu Qinghai suddenly thought:

"Why haven't you been notified of the completion of the stage milestone for killing monsters?" I didn't receive it either." Zofia sensed his thoughts and responded.

The two of them suddenly turned around.

The belly of the monster "Poison Woman" slowly bulged, as if something was wriggling inside its body, and with the blood and bile of the monster, it slipped out of the hole in its chest, and appeared in the air in its original form, like a cicada shedding its shell and a butterfly breaking open its cocoon - but it was much faster.

Before the mecha hunter could react, three pairs of wings spread out in the air, and on other occasions, Fu Qinghai might have thought that these wings were quite good-

They are transparent, with pale blue stripes, and look like the wings of a dragonfly, with eight long, thin legs with hook claws and spines that support it to stand up from the faded blue bursa, and a pair of hind legs that are especially huge, like the legs used by grasshoppers to kick and jump.

And now, with these legs, it started with a catapult, jumped forward sharply, and pounced on the cockpit of the head of the "white scar" with a "whoosh", and the sharp siphon-like mouthparts went straight towards Fu Qinghai and Zofiaza in the gap.

Flying monsters? Both of them were in the same heart.

"White Scar" hurriedly raised his hand to protect his head, the chainsaw sword restarted, and the dragonfly and butterfly-like monster flew into the air, the wind from its wings making waves on the water, and then swooped down towards the mecha hunter.

"Boom-" The last earthquake bomb fired.

But it was dodged by the flying monster that had been prepared for a long time, compared to those fourth-level monsters and fifth-level monsters, its size is not large, it flapps its wings and spins, flies up and down, is extremely fast, extremely flexible, and flies around the blind spot of the mecha hunter's field of vision.

The bird trap array failed, there was no fire control system to assist in sighting, and one hand had to protect the head to control the cabin, and at this moment the two of them could only shoot by feeling.

The flying monster turned a pair of huge fluorescent blue compound eyes, reflecting the crack in the head that the "white scar" had protected with his hand, and then the monster firmly locked onto the place, and suddenly stabbed down.

"Smack!"

The monster concentrated on dodging the chainsaw sword swinging in his right hand, but was accidentally slapped down by the palm of his raised left hand, and at the same time, the upper abdomen of the "white scar" was opened, and two sets of black holes were popped out of the muzzles of the double-linked five-barreled runners, and Zofia, who had been prepared, immediately controlled and fired!

"Tom ......" Vulcan Giant Bomb! It's nicknamed "The Devil's Laugh".

"Squeak squeak—"

The flying monster was beaten to the point that its wings flew wildly, and its mouthparts let out a strange "squeak" scream, and the glowing blue blood, transparent broken wings, and black hook claws splashed everywhere for a while.

As soon as the monster plunged into the water, Zofia immediately twisted the muzzle of the gun to follow the shot, and a row of high water columns suddenly exploded on the surface of the sea, and the monster was like a flying fish diving, and like a water strider sliding, while maneuvering up and down, left and right, at high speed, while desperately trying to escape quickly...... Finally out of the range of the mecha hunter, then flapped its wings, dragging the stump, and staggered in the direction of the inland region.

"Click, click, click......" Vulcan giant bomb slowly stopped rotating.

The "white scar" stood in place, and Fu Qinghai and Zofia could only watch the monster escape through the cracks.

The two of them showed exactly the same unhappy expressions. That's when it happened." Boom Boom Boom Boom ......Boom

The noise of helicopters came from the sky. Mecha Hunter turned around and looked.

The black-pressed helicopter group, the dense white searchlight posts under them swept around, and several steel cables hung a huge object like a launch vehicle, slowly flying towards this side.

Xiao Fei's pod booster...... It's finally here.............
