Chapter 118: Countdown
The Shattered Dome has a celebration for the time being, a celebration of food.
Since the invasion of the chrysanthemum beast in 2014, every year since then, the survival pressure of human beings on the earth has increased.
Monsters pollute all resources and the environment, and just the blood that falls on the ground will turn the area into a dead place where no grass is born.
The wartime rationing system has been in place for years, and even Raleigh Beckett, a former dangerous wanderer driver, has to complete dangerous aerial work to get more food.
So, the food that Kou had brought was enough to make the entire Broken Dome cheer for her three times.
Next to Rorschach sat Stok, Heck, and his son Chuck, mech pilots such as Alexis Kedanowski and Sasha Kedanowski, as well as monster scientist Newton Getzler and mathematician Herman Griffb.
"You need a bigger, heavier mech. An average of two thousand tons of mechs is too weak......"
Mori Mako objected and said, "But the monster is only more than 2,000 tons, and the current mecha is enough, and no matter how big the mecha is, it will be a problem to transport and maintain it......"
Rorschach didn't answer Mori Mako's naΓ―ve thoughts, turned his head to look at the mathematician Herman Griffbe on the side, and asked, "According to your calculations, how often will monsters appear next?" β
Speaking of his research, Herman suddenly became excited, dragged his lame foot, pulled over a table, pulled out a marker pen from the neckline of the unknown who was next to him, and began to write his mathematical model on the table.
"From the very beginning, the monster attacked every twenty-four weeks, then twelve, six, two weeks, and most recently in Sydney, only one week apart. After another week, expect to see a new monster on the fourth day, then every eight hours, then down to one every four minutes! β
Herman leaned over his crutches and leaned over to look at the crowd. Without noticing in the slightest, his words had already frightened the others.
Mako Mori did the math and said, "So, we only have twelve days before the end of the world?" β
It was also the first time Sterk had heard such a sensational countdown to death, and asked, "Herman! Is there a problem with your calculus? β
Herman straightened up, justified his mathematical model, and said, "Numbers don't lie, politics, poetry, promises, these are all spoiled, numbers are the best way for us to get God's Decree, there will be a double monster attack, then a triple event, a quadruple event, and then a tragic ending......"
Sasha Kedanowski, who has a strong personality, immediately scolded the quintessence of the country. The rest of the people's faces were not very good.
"Thank you for your prediction, Dr. Herman. You can come back and enjoy the food......"
Sterke looked at Rorschach, trying to see a glimmer of hope in Rorschach's face.
Watching Herman finish his speech, monster expert Newton Gezler jumped out and said, "Guys, why are we grading monsters? Is it because of the difference in body size between them? I examined the monster that attacked in Manila six years ago, and it had the same tissue sample as the one in Sydney......"
Sterk looked at Newton, who wanted to show off himself, and interrupted him and said, "Dr. Geizler, get to the point!" β
"The point is, the guy just now, uh, I don't know his name yet. He said that monsters were created, and if what he said was true, then we could use the neural interaction method of the hunter driver to connect the brain tissue of the monster. Get the intel on the other side! β
Heck said a little unhappily, "You want us to enter the monster's brain?" No one can withstand that kind of nervous load. β
"No, no, no!"
Newton hurriedly explained: "It's not the whole link with the monster, it's just a small part of its brain, the monster has a secondary brain structure in order to assist the body's action, and it only needs that thing......"
Newton explained, and then looked at Sturker, who in turn looked at Rorschach.
Rorschach put down the empty plate and said, "The 'Pioneer' has the ability to contag spirits, and anyone who completes synaesthesia with the monster will stay in the spiritual world of the 'Pioneer' and leave a mark, and then the Pioneer will follow this mark and find you!" β
Rorschach stared at Newton and said this, after all, in the end, Newton successfully completed synaesthesia with the monster, but also leaked the information of the earth. It was only then that the follow-up bad movie 2 happened.
Rorschach looked around for a week and said, "Synaesthesia is a two-way street, and anyone who has synesthesia with monsters will leak information about the earth. So, don't make such a dangerous attempt. No need to hide, Dr. Newton, I'm just warning you. β
Chuck Hansen asked, a little worried, "But how are we going to deal with the next attack?" Even if each mecha can successfully kill the monster, people will not be able to stand the mental pressure of operating the mecha for a long time, and we will fail sooner or later......"
"That's what I should be thinking about!"
"Now, what you're going to do, or Stec, what you're supposed to do......"
Sterk straightened up, waiting for orders.
"Collect all the design drawings and production lines of mechs, and design and produce heavier and larger mechs. Reboot the Hunter Academy, find all the drivers who are still there, and fend off the onslaught of attacks! β
"Sorry, I have a question?"
After Rorschach finished speaking, Mako Mori stood up, looked at Rorschach and asked, "Can't you just destroy that spatial passage?" You can travel through the world, and you can find those aliens, why don't you just destroy the space passages and stop their attack? β
After listening to Mako Mori's question, Rorschach looked at Sterke helplessly and asked, "Is your daughter intermittently stupid?" Teach her ......"
Rorschach left after saying that, and he was going to find a helper.
Mori Mako stood in place with a puzzled expression, looking at everyone at a loss.
Chuck Hansen, who was on the side, looked at Mako Mori and explained, "Remember what he said before? A planet without a spirit of resistance is not worth saving ......"
The world verified Rorschach's vision, successfully inserted memories into Sterke, and gradually turned the words of the original flickering red into reality.
Rorschach, who was on the battleship, drank a bottle of weak magic potion again, and put away the Black Sutra of the Undead and the Golden Sutra of the Sun.
Work began overnight on the Shattered Dome to repair dangerous wanderers. Sterk and Heck began to contact their comrades who were not dead, trying to find enough mechs and pilots during this time.
Jonathan, dressed in his light gray suit, sneakily arrives at HK's monster gathering area, and in the center is a chrysanthemum skull.
Now a group of people were wearing strange cloaks and umbrella-like hats, braving the heavy rain and walking into the monster's skull.
"Those people are an organization called the Church of the Monsters, and they believe that the monsters came down from heaven. The invasion of monsters is an expression of displeasure from the gods against the actions of humans. If you'd like to join, I can introduce you to ......"
A person who introduced himself to the Monster Church suddenly appeared next to Jonathan, his eyes were full of enthusiasm, and he pulled Jonathan and walked in the direction of the Monster Church.
Jonathan hurriedly broke free from the pull of the visitor, and said dissatisfiedly: "I'm here to buy happiness, not to join some damn monster church!" Fack! Where's the damn 369 Hotel? Stupid introducer, he doesn't even know the location......"
Jonathan scolded and looked at the dirty water under his feet with disgust, vividly showing the image of an arrogant Englishman.
The person just now stopped Jonathan again and said, "369 Hotel? I can take you, but ......"
Looking at the man's rubbing hands, Jonathan casually pulled out a note from his pocket, stuffed it into his hand with disgust, and said, "Hurry up!" I'm in a hurry to eat......"
Following the guide to turn left and right, walking through the walled alleys, Jonathan frowned and dodged the droplets of water from the various billboards above his head.
Jonathan's contrivedness made the guide have to stop and wait for him often.
Finally, under a door sign hanging on the 369 Hotel, the guide stopped and tilted his head sideways to indicate that Jonathan had arrived at the place.
Jonathan looked up at the door number and waved at the guide in disgust, signaling that he could leave.
The guide was not annoyed, the money had been collected, and he turned around and left.
Jonathan looked around sneakily, and the hand that was originally on the door of the 369 Hotel suddenly retracted, stuck to the stairs on the side of the hotel, and walked up to the second floor.
Coming to the second floor, Jonathan looked at a pharmacy called Zhou Baotang and walked in with his face covered.
The guy in the pharmacy greeted Jonathan and asked, "Hit the street, what are you doing?" β
Jonathan looked around and said embarrassedly, "Ahem, I heard that there are some people here who can make people ...... You know, that's the medicine! β
"Ten Great Tonic Pills? I have, here ......"
The guy grabbed a pair of pills from the medicine cabinet, expertly wrapped them in paper, and handed them to Jonathan.
"I'm not asking for this! I want to be able to ...... Medicine of this! β
Jonathan pushed away the herb given to him and did a classic Mike Jackson move.
The guy shoved the medicine into Jonathan's arms and said, "That's it, the medicine to revive your strength!" The neighbors around me said yes. Three hundred dollars is not too much. β
Jonathan hurriedly pushed the guy away and wiped his palms with a handkerchief in disgust.
"I'm crazy to be here, idiot......"
Outside the one-way glass on the side, the guide just now was reporting to the owner of Zhou Baotang, Hannibal Zhou.
"I tried, an Englishman who even dislikes the rain, this person is a bit hypocritical, he walks and looks at the sky and the ground, I looked back at him several times, and he didn't find ......"
Hannibal Chow, who was wearing sunglasses, looked at Jonathan, who was angry and ready to leave after being threatened by his guy to take out his wallet to pay for the pack of medicine.
At this time, another medicine cabinet guy who was instructed asked, "Are you looking for monster bone powder?" β
Jonathan held the medicine in his hand and made a gesture and asked, "Monster bone meal?" Can I get that? β
"Strengthen the kidneys and replenish the yang, whoever uses it says it is good, and I use it myself."
The two smiled tacitly, and Jonathan took the freshly wrapped medicine in his hand and asked, "What about this?" β
"It's okay, it's better to take it in combination......"
"Hey......
Jonathan put away the smile on the corner of his mouth and said, "Give me as much as you want!" I'm going to take it in the bath......"
The guy took Jonathan to the finished medicine cabinet opposite, pulled the mechanism on the medicine cabinet, and the open medicine cabinet revealed the space behind it.
In the circular hall, busy workers come and go. Some people are transporting monster body tissues, while others are grinding monster bones into powder along with other bones.
Coming to the bone meal, Jonathan said in disgust: "The purity of your goods is not good?" β
"That thing can keep you awake all night with just the amount of a fingernail......
Hannibal Zhou appeared behind Jonathan, looking down at the guy in front of him, who was no bigger than his own chin.
"That's it?"
Jonathan reached for a handful in the grinding bowl next to him, put it under his nose and sniffed it.
"Ah Qiu~"
Irritated, Jonathan couldn't help but sneeze the powder in his hand on Hannibal.
"Bastard!"
Hannibal chow, dusting himself off, took off his sunglasses, and wiped them clean with a tissue.
"That's on your account, too!"
Not wanting to talk to the annoying guy in front of him any more, Hannibal Zhou asked his two subordinates to follow Jonathan step by step, and after staring at him to pay the bill, he threw him out of Zhou Baotang.
After being kicked out, Jonathan took the bone meal and Chinese medicine in his hand, and when he wanted to break with the two people in front of him, he turned around decisively after seeing the threatening face on the other side.
In a corner where no one notices, Jonathan hooks a paper bag with two fingers and reports on his first mission.
"Hannibal Chow's left eye was bloodshot and there were no signs of trauma. He did have synaesthesia, but it was unclear how much he had leaked......"
Sitting in the rear, Alwyn replied, "Got it, it's the task force next, you can come back, Jonathan." β
"Roger!"
Jonathan turned off the communication, looked at the two paper bags in his hand, took them into his arms without the slightest hesitation, and then stepped into the stagnant water on the road......

Thank you very much for your kindness, I really don't know what to say.
The story continues, and the Temporal Authority will gradually move towards a position worthy of its name, with the power to truly influence the heavens and all worlds......
