Chapter 34: The Coming of the Dark
“duang…”
The sound of machinery running is even more unavoidable in this big guy.
Alpha, which was born to fight, began its first performance.
Muraka, who had completed the angle adjustment, stopped the operation.
Next up is Noi, who is in charge of firing weapons.
I have to say that although Muraka dislikes Noi very much in her heart, the cooperation between the two is still quite tacit.
Just now, all kinds of actions and "simulated release beams" are coordinated seamlessly, and it seems that there is really some basis for the statement that the personalities are complementary.
"Cryo bomb, one is ready!"
Noi gently pressed the launch button.
The gaze reveals decisiveness and coldness.
"Dad, Mom..."
A faint sound came out of his mouth.
Naturally, Muraka, who had been paying attention to Building No. 4, didn't hear it.
“duang!!”
On the large screen in the command center, a cryobomb was released from Alpha's chest, quickly heading towards the target.
And after just a few seconds, a brilliant color is stried, and then the target is hit!
Suddenly, the white smoke dispersed, and the icy chemicals quickly reacted to form ice slag, which then joined together to form a thin layer of ice.
Soon, Building No. 4 was covered in ice until it was impossible to see what it was supposed to be.
"Ah, it looks like it's going well!"
Okumura smiled with satisfaction, he felt amazing now.
As if he had seen his own child, and indeed it was, Okumura had put a lot of effort into the Alpha A, and there were many setbacks in it, but he finally saw it complete in his lifetime.
At this time, Okumura seems to have become a little different.
Even though he looks a little old, he is still in good spirits and has a feeling of "rebirth".
Unlike just now, even if the smile is very real, it can also make people feel the faint loneliness in his heart.
Twenty years of research and development, and the support of resources that are overwhelming, now, can finally make the guy who once opposed it obediently shut his mouth!
"Next, go straight to the Alpha Beam!"
Staring at the bright light reflected in the sunlight of Building No. 4, Okumura made a decision.
"Oh, aren't you going to do incremental experiments?"
There was some surprise on the island.
At first, we were prepared to start with various special ammunition, followed by missiles on the wrist, laser rays in the eyes, and finally a special move: Alpha Beam.
"Well, there will be no problem with the weapon launchport, let the world witness the strongest power of mankind!"
It also makes those who look down on me and exclude me...
See what is the right path for humanity.
Boring robot development?
Senseless weapons?
Alpha Type A, which can refute all "fallacies"!
Okumura's voice was categorical, and the commander of Kojima understood the urgency of this old friend.
He wanted to prove himself for too long.
I endured it too long.
Let's just get to this final experiment!
Kojima nodded in agreement.
Although Ihara did not have the right to refute, he still made a suggestion: "Then the target of the Alpha Beam will be the No. 7 rockery building!" ”
The No. 7 rockery is also an artificially built building, and it is also a facility used to simulate the power of weapons, which is basically the same as an ordinary hill.
"Okay."
Okumura felt that it didn't matter, as long as he could use the alpha beam anyway.
Noticing that the high-level had made a decision, Rei Zhenna, who was standing at the end, couldn't help frowning.
I don't know why, she just suddenly had a feeling of restlessness.
It's as if something bad is going to happen.
She subconsciously reached for her pocket.
But he suddenly remembered that this time, because it was a non-military mission, he didn't bring the evolutionary truster over at all.
Wait a minute.
Odd.
Why do you want to get the Evolutionary Truster?
There are no monsters here!
Mana was taken aback by her own thoughts.
Silently tidied up the corners of his clothes, and his hand fell down again.
Could it be that the nerves became big because of the injuries he was injured in the battle with Jeton?
As soon as she thought of Jeton, Jina felt a pang of discomfort in her body, especially in her limbs, and a sense of weakness filled her.
…
"Alpha Beam, start charging!"
Noi silently turned up the energy storage speed to the maximum.
In this way, it is a blow with all your might.
Staring at the No. 7 rockery in front of you.
The outline of the mountain seemed to begin to change in sight.
First it was a familiar dragon head, and then the hideous face appeared, and the ugly face seemed to evoke all the bad memories of Noi.
The black dragon scales covered the entire body, and the huge body had nine dragon heads, fangs and claws, and bursts of roars.
It was so powerful that it was like a calamity.
"Demon Dragon..."
"Demon Dragon, I..."
"I'm going to kill you!"
Noi's eyes gradually turned pitch black, and a thick black aura spread from his body, covering the entire cockpit.
"Huh? How does it feel..."
Muraka suddenly felt dizzy, and there was a chill in her heart.
She wanted to turn back, but found that her body was so heavy that her eyelids were fighting.
Finally, she collapsed in the driver's seat, her head tilted to one end, and she looked like she was asleep.
…
"What's going on!"
In the command center, Okumura was full of anxiety.
At the moment when the Alpha Beam was about to be launched, the Alpha A suddenly did not move.
And the contact screen went black, and the communication with Alpha came to an abrupt end, as if the signal had suddenly been lost.
"I don't know, the signal was cut off suddenly!"
Several staff members in charge of coordinating and commanding also panicked.
Hurriedly and constantly tapping on the keyboard to try to save the Alpha Type A that was gradually getting out of control.
But no matter what they did, Alpha didn't make any moves.
Still the contact was lost, and there was no signal.
"Quick, arrange someone to operate the lifting platform directly..."
Okumura is a little anxious, this is the first complete experiment!
And the two UPIC pilots are still in the cockpit, how can they suddenly lose control and signal!
"I'll arrange it!"
The assistant who instantly understood Okumura's meaning, that is, the staff who led the two Noi to the cockpit, hurriedly ran out.
"You guys, follow me!"
"Let's go to the Alpha Cockpit!"
The sound of dense and hurried footsteps faded away.
"How could it be..."
Okumura was a little depressed, and suddenly slumped in his chair, as if he had lost all his spirit, and looked like he was in his twilight years.
“… Muramasa, maybe it's not a mechanical failure. ”
Kojima looked melancholy, comforting his old friend, and at the same time, he also looked at the Alpha A type, which was gradually shrouded in black smoke.
"That's..."
"What... Okumura barely bred up and looked at Kojima's line of sight.
"Darkness... Very ominous darkness. ”
A cold female voice rang out from everyone's ears.
Ihara turned around, and it was Li Zhenna.
At this time, she looked confused, and her eyes were fixed on Alpha.
Seeing this, Ihara couldn't help frowning.
Ri Shina has been in the wrong state since she was injured.
It's just black smoke, so why is it still called "darkness"?
Captain Ihara squinted his eyes slightly: "Bolden team, it's a pity to analyze the composition of the black smoke?" It doesn't look like pure smoke. ”
Bourdon, who had already begun to manipulate the existing instruments, did not raise his head: "Analyzing, but..."
"There's something strange about the components of these smokes, how do you say that? … Seems to be flooded with some unknown substance? ”
“duang…”
“duang、duang…”
In the midst of everyone's busyness, Alpha suddenly began to move.
Its body began to turn, the sound of machinery running accompanied by heavy steps, and then the entire body began to face the command center.
At the same time, Alpha's milky eyes also turned scarlet, full of tyrannical color.
"It seems that Alpha is controlled by some force?"
"Oh no, the Alpha Beam is still in a state of preparation, Your Excellency Commander, Dr. Okumura, hurry up and evacuate!"
A staff member with a frightened look on his face pointed to the glowing emitter on the chest of the Alpha A.
"Let's go!"
The face of the Imperial Mystery Book suddenly changed greatly, and once the alpha beam was launched, it would directly kill the head of the UPC and the head of the scientific research center!
Is that worth it?
"Muramasa, let's withdraw first!"
Kojima slapped his head and shook his hair to the ground.
grabbed the still lifeless Okumura Masa, and quickly deviated and fled with the agility that he shouldn't have at this age.
"Imperial Mystic Book, you should also take refuge! After Bolden cooperated with the staff to dodge, he sought a solution, Jina, and I drove the Condor 1 out! Xiao Ling, contact the Defense Forces and ask them to mobilize support! ”
In order to prevent the situation from further escalating, Ihara began to give decisive orders.
