Chapter 1761 Crisis lurks
Big crisis!
Monsters are coming continuously!
The Echo Saber is completely damaged!
Also
One after another news related to monsters quickly occupied the social media charts and became a hot topic among hundreds of millions of people.
In a world where monsters have been raging for more than 20 years, any news related to monsters has attracted much attention. Especially this time, monsters have attacked the same area consecutively like never before, making the past two or three The 'safe zone' experience that took ten years to sum up has become history.
Before the appearance of this monster with the registered code name ‘Zhaigan’, any area that had been attacked by monsters would be relatively safe for a long time in the future.
Therefore, in order to ensure their absolute safety, many rich people will choose to buy real estate all over the world. Once a place is attacked by monsters, after the monsters are defeated, these rich people will form groups and come to live there. For a while, they wouldn't leave until the next place they were attacked by monsters showed up.
By changing places frequently like this, they can ensure that they are always in a safe place and will not be harmed by monsters like ordinary people.
The apocalyptic panic experienced by ordinary people has nothing to do with them and has nothing to do with them. They can still live freely and carefree.
For this reason, the monster disaster has become a crisis, but it has also become an opportunity.
Because after a monster attack, there will be a safe window for a period of time, attracting many capable people to take refuge, and they are basically owners who are not short of money. They spend money quite lavishly. Naturally, it can drive local consumption, thus creating abnormal post-disaster prosperity.
But from now on, the 'safe zone' seems to have ceased to exist, and the post-disaster prosperity will also disappear.
This is unacceptable to many people.
Whether it's a rich man or something else.
After all, for the rich, if there is no safe zone, then they will face a crisis. How can this be done? You must know that the most painful thing in the world is that money is not spent when a person dies.
This is also unacceptable for the crisis-ridden coastal cities. They are already vulnerable to monster attacks, but at least they have post-disaster prosperity to support them, and they can make a lot of money after the monster attacks, but Without this income from now on, it is even more painful, because the person is still alive but cannot make money.
“.”
Chiba Makoto was sitting in the cabin, flipping through the tablet in his hand and browsing various news.
After being examined at the local hospital, he followed Yukino on a plane to the Xiangjiang base to receive a more professional examination.
For this result, Chiba Cheng was mentally prepared. After all, piloting a mecha alone is a bit unbelievable for people in this world. In addition, he defeated six and a half generations of mechas. Super monster, but the driver is still "intact", which is really surprising, and naturally I want to know the reason for this.
And this is what Chiba Makoto did deliberately, because he wanted to use a high profile to explode this stagnant world to see what is underneath.
While 'borrowing' Arata's body and identity, Chiba Makoto spent most of his energy on understanding the past of this world, which gave Chiba Makoto the feeling of——
Weird!
We are clearly being attacked by monsters, and this has lasted for twenty or thirty years. The monsters have caused heavy economic losses and casualties to mankind, and have caused great obstacles to the development of human society. In many fields, not only are there no Progress has been met with substantial setbacks.
It stands to reason that the harm caused by monsters is so great. When there are external threats, human beings should be more united. However, the unity of various countries is gradually falling apart as the monster disasters become more and more severe.
Not to mention anything else, for now, the only weapon that humans have that is effective against monsters is mecha hunters. It stands to reason that we should vigorously develop mecha hunters, but various countries are reducing the scale and number of mecha hunters. budget, so that both the number of mecha hunters and the number of logistics support bases are decreasing.
This is like two armies facing each other. The front line is getting tighter. Instead of sending more soldiers and food to the rear, it has to divert the food and soldiers from the front. No matter how you think about it, this is wrong.
The last person to do this was Prime Minister Qin, who had been kneeled by cast iron for thousands of years.
But the problem is that this battle is more tragic than a war of annihilation between countries, because there is no option to surrender. Once lost, human beings will be destroyed by monsters. Not only will civilization be completely extinct, but even the race will be destroyed. For nothing, we must and can only fight to the last moment and to the last person.
So let alone the economic downturn and the decline in living standards, even if you eat chaffy vegetables or even eat local people, you have to squeeze out money and manpower to build weapons and equipment to deal with monsters.
But now, the economy has not yet collapsed, and mankind has not shed its last drop of blood, but countries are reducing the number of mecha hunters to deal with monsters. This is incomprehensible no matter how you think about it.
Unless
Like Prime Minister Qin, you can rise to the highest position even if you lose.
To put it bluntly, there is a traitor.
But the question is, as a human being, what are the benefits of surrendering to the side of the monster?
Unless the monsters in this world are also 'artificial'.
In this case, the war is not between humans and monsters, but between humans and ‘aliens’. In this case, surrender can gain benefits.
Although this is just a guess, Chiba Makoto believed that there was such a possibility after his analysis. Therefore, he defeated the sixth-level monster with a fourth-generation semi-mecha in a high-profile manner. Use yourself as bait to see if you can catch something.
Yukino on the side was also looking at the tablet in her hand, but from time to time she would raise her eyes to glance at Arata with her peripheral vision, and pursed her lips, as if she wanted to say something, but every time the words came to her lips, nothing came out. He swallowed it back, vividly interpreting what it means to "stop talking but stop".
After several times, Yukino finally couldn't help but said: "Arata, I'm sorry this time."
"What's wrong? Why are you apologizing?" Chiba Makoto turned his head, Looking at Yukino next to him, he smiled and said, "I also want to thank you. It gives me the opportunity to become the pilot of a mecha hunter so that I can defeat that monster and become a hero."
'Arata's smile was still so bright, but this made Yukino even more worried. , because Arata hasn’t realized how serious the situation is. One person piloted a mecha to complete a leapfrog kill. This has never happened before since the mecha hunter was created. The news has just spread, and it has attracted great attention. Many people want to I wonder how Arata did it and whether it can be popularized.
Not to mention all pilots, as long as some of them can do it, it can greatly alleviate the current difficulties they are facing. After all, the reason why mecha hunters are frequently updated is because once there is a generation gap, let alone defeating monsters , even it is difficult to protect itself.
But if monsters can be dealt with across generations, there will be no need to update so quickly, and the cost will be smaller. It will also allow the world economy to breathe, and will not be dragged into the abyss by building mechas.
In order to figure out the mystery, someone will inevitably ask repeatedly, and even do worse things.
After all, compared to tens of billions of funds, a mere driver is really nothing. Even if her Furuwu family is still powerful, she will not say much in the face of such huge interests. What, at most, we can gain enough benefits through this.
"New Tai." Yukino wanted to talk about the relationship, but she didn't know how to say it, because even if she knew, it wouldn't change anything.
In the eyes of big men, individual life and death are nothing.
But when a speck of dust of the times falls on an individual’s head, it becomes a huge mountain.
"Ah, what a pity, the Echo Saber is destroyed," Chiba Makoto lay back on the comfortable seat and said with regret: "I only experienced it once, I don't know if there will be any more. Opportunity to pilot Mecha Hunter again."
". "Xue Nuo twitched the corner of her mouth, forced a smile, and said: "There will be a chance, there will be a chance."
The voice that was completely unconfident became smaller and smaller, and he even lowered his head. As he continued, he seemed to be talking to 'New Tai', and also seemed to be talking to himself.
But 'New Tai' looked at Yukino and said with a smile: "Well, there is still hope, there will definitely be hope."
The sea outside the window has turned into land, and the speed of the plane is also decreasing. You can clearly see a long series of tall buildings rising from the ground along the coast.
The high-walled turrets are full of ferocity!
This is an alternative to the mecha hunter that is currently very popular in various countries, which is to use high walls to block monsters, use turrets to attack monsters, and then wait for the arrival of the mecha hunter before launching an encirclement and annihilation operation against the monsters.
Every country basically started building walls and towers at the same time, but the big slabs only have an outline, but Xiangjiang has already begun to take shape. At this rate, it is estimated that it will be completed by the end of the year. Then we will test whether this plan is Able to block monsters as theoretically possible.
"It's probably unstoppable!"
Chiba Cheng said silently in his heart. He was not optimistic about this plan and even thought it was very stupid.
Even if you keep the monsters out, what's the use? If you don't destroy the monsters, the monsters will always exist.
Water drops can penetrate stone. As long as monsters continue to attack, no matter how strong the wall is, it will eventually be breached.
As for the turrets on the high wall, they can only deal with monsters in the distance. Once they get close, the turrets will continue to attack, which will only cause damage to the wall and help the monsters break through the wall.
However, if paired with mecha hunters, this plan will have some value. Defending the enemy outside the country will not cause too much harm to the walled city. Without having to bear high losses, human society can still slow down. Licking the wounds slowly, maybe one day it will heal.
After the plane landed and the cabin door opened, Chiba Cheng just walked out and saw a large number of people from Wuyangyang rushing over. The scale was quite amazing, and Chiba Cheng was a little surprised. , I didn’t expect to be so ‘popular’.
"It seems that the treatment is good." Chiba Cheng raised his eyebrows, without any timidity, facing the blazing gaze, he walked straight over. Yukino hurriedly followed and introduced Chiba Cheng. Most of the people who came to pick up the plane were from the Earth Defense Force. The highest ranking person was a staff officer from the Xiangjiang base. It was said that he had close contacts with General Quan, the current commander-in-chief of the Earth Defense Force. This shows that the Earth Defense Force attaches great importance to 'New Tai'. .
As expected, the meeting was greeted by a large group of enthusiastic greetings, praising the fearless spirit of 'New Tai', followed by a medal award on behalf of the Earth Defense Force, and a lot of passionate speeches. This welcome ceremony It was over, the crowd dispersed, and Chiba Cheng got into the car, left the airport, and headed to the nearby Xiangjiang base.
Along the way, this Staff Officer Zhang was sitting next to Chiba Makoto, and he and Chiba Makoto were talking here and there, making all kinds of insinuations. There was only one core point, and that was how to drive a fourth-and-a-half-generation mecha. Defeat level 6 monsters.
Chiba Makoto did not hide anything, and told his experience of dealing with the monster without any secrets. It was nothing more than finding a weak point, charging in forcefully, and then detonating the flammable gas that the monster spewed from its nose to strengthen the flame, thus blasting all the way in. It entered the monster's body and blew the monster into pieces.
When Staff Zhang heard this, he nodded repeatedly, and continued to praise without asking for anything, such as quick thinking, courage, courage, and ability.
It was not until he got off the car that he was still unfinished. After he stopped talking, he turned to the reason why he invited Chiba Cheng to the Xiangjiang base. It was not only to conduct a professional inspection, but also to let him participate in the test of the seventh-generation mecha.
Before Chiba Cheng said anything, Yukino said in surprise: "Seventh generation mecha? Isn't it still under design?"
"Heh," Staff Zhang smiled and said : "The speed has been increased, and testing has begun. Therefore, we need capable pilots like the knife-wielding team members to form combat effectiveness as soon as possible."
"Huh?"
As soon as he walked into the gate of Xiangjiang Base, Chiba Cheng felt the strong sense of peeping again, and immediately turned his head without hesitation, but he saw the crowds of people coming and going. and vehicles, many people are looking here, but no one's gaze makes Chiba Cheng feel the same way. In other words, it is not these people, but who is it?
Qianye Cheng's sudden stop made Staff Zhang also stop, turned his head and followed Qianye Cheng's gaze, and asked: "What's wrong?"
"No, it's nothing!" Chiba Cheng scanned it again but still found nothing, which made him feel very confused.
But before Chiba Cheng could think about it carefully, a piercing alarm suddenly sounded, startling everyone, and then their expressions changed drastically, because this was an alarm for the appearance of a monster, but the monster was in front of him. It just appeared a few days ago. Why does it appear again?
According to past experience, every time it occurs, there will be a period of time, ranging from one or two months to half a year.
But misfortunes never come singly, and the voice coming from the loudspeaker of the base made people's faces change even more: "Urgent notice, two monsters have been found. Repeat, two monsters have been found."
Two monsters ? ? ! !
The shocking news has turned many people's faces pale, and they cannot believe what they are hearing.
