510 A Greater Crisis
Some people felt that the monster Zero fought was not incredibly strong. Besides, its intelligence was far below the average level of a sea monster.
Its attacks just consisted of torrents, and its physical defense was equally weak.
As the enthusiasm faded, questions about Zero began to surface!
Wu Mo knew that most of these questions came from abroad.
They were deliberately stirring things up in an attempt to deny Zero’s ability to fight the sea monsters.
However, their actions were simply childish and ridiculous!
“Hmph, how dare they question Zero? These ignorant fellows are truly fearless!”
Wu Mo shook his head and laughed at himself.
There was no need to explain anything. Although the sea monster that Zero killed was indeed of a low level, Zero did not display its full strength.
It probably still had many killer moves hidden under its sleeves!
If one looked at it from another angle, Zero did not utilize more killer moves because the sea monster never forced it into a position where it needed to do so.
Wu Mo predicted that even if they encountered the Sea Monster King, Zero would be able to suppress it.
However, now that the Sea Monster King army had collapsed, it was much more difficult to find another Sea Monster King in the deep sea.
Wu Mo arranged for some people to carry out maintenance on Zero regularly.
Only with regular maintenance could Zero ensure that there were no mistakes in every mission.
The production of the Biological Regeneration Agent had soared to a thousand bottles. This indicated that a thousand disabled people had been “reborn.”
One day, Shen Qingya called Wu Mo.
“Wu Mo, are you busy?”
It sounded like she had just woken up from a dream.
Wu Mo smiled. “I’m busy working on Zero. It’s the focus of the world. I have to make Zero perfect.”
Shen Qingya sighed. She knew that Wu Mo was busy with the mech.
Her semester break was coming up, and she was wondering where to go.
She wanted to visit Wu Mo at the base, but she heard that it was not an easy place to enter.
Wu Mo said, “In that case, you should keep your parents company first. I’ll catch up with you after I’m done here.”
“Alright, Wu Mo, it’s a deal!” Shen Qingya then hung up.
Wu Mo sighed. Life as a researcher was always boring but busy.
However, Battle Mech Zero was a hot topic now. The world was looking forward to its performance and paying close attention to its development.
“Wu Mo, what are Zero’s chances of winning against a Sea Monster King?” the old chief asked.
“Chief, I’m confident that Zero can defeat any known sea monster!” Wu Mo replied decisively.
Although Wu Mo answered confidently, he was not sure how it would perform against other known sea monsters and terrifying monsters that had yet to appear.
The old chief and the other officers were extremely satisfied with Wu Mo’s affirmation.
Suddenly, there was an urgent message. Shannan was facing a crisis!
The expressions on Wu Mo and the other officers’ faces changed drastically!
Shannan was a transportation hub, where the sea and land intersected. It was an important place, but it was being surrounded by several sea monsters!
“How’s the situation?”
The old chief immediately went to the command center.
The screen showed that three huge sea monsters had appeared near Shannan’s port. These sea monsters seemed completely new and were not on the existing list of sea monsters.
It was true that the current sea monster rankings were mainly compiled by China.
This was because most of the powerful sea monsters discovered around the world had appeared in China, and only a few had appeared near the coasts of other countries.
China’s sea monsters were stronger than the ones in other countries, and they were extremely powerful. They naturally took the top spots in the sea monster rankings!
The Sea Monster King had previously topped the sea monster rankings. But it was worth mentioning that the Dual-blade Sea Monster and Giant Sea Serpent were now ranked first and second respectively.
So far, the Dual-blade Sea Monster had been the most terrifying existence on the list!
“Wait a minute, these three sea monsters are extraordinary. Look over there!” an officer immediately said.
One of the sea monsters had the body of a human, but its arms and legs were covered in thorns.
Its head seemed to be covered with a steel helmet that protected its core.
It landed a punch on the shore, and a house was instantly destroyed.
They aimed the high-density ray weapons at its head, but to everyone’s surprise, the rays did not cause any damage. The rays only left some marks on its helmet-like shell!
“How is this possible? This sea monster can protect its head from high-density rays?”
Wu Mo did not expect this since the high-density rays could easily defeat known sea monsters.
Even if they could not kill it, they should still cause serious injuries.
Yet, this sea monster had blocked several rays in a row. It was unbelievable!
The second sea monster was equally shocking. It resembled a fierce tiger with the word “king” carved on its forehead.
Its huge mouth took up one-third of its face, which gave it a ferocious and terrifying look.
Its roar stirred up strong air currents in the sky. Soo, dark clouds covered the sky, and heavy rain poured down.
The third sea monster was a huge meatball. It had no hands or feet, just two cunning little eyes that were shining.
It rolled slowly, and it was difficult to determine the front and back of its body!
The three sea monsters brought about a huge sense of oppression, and Wu Mo knew that Shannan was in danger.
It seemed that these three sea monsters had planned this beforehand. This was no small matter.
“D*mn it!”
“These three terrifying sea monsters have obviously been preparing for this. Judging from their positions, they have analyzed the layout of our important facilities!” an angry officer said with an unpleasant expression.
Shannan’s core area was centered around the port. The deeper the monsters traveled along the sixty-degree slope, the more critical the situation would be.
Two of the crafty sea monsters clamped down on Shannan’s lifeline and approached it step by step.
The third round sea monster seemed to be rolling over to take cover, but it was staring at them with its green bean-like eyes as if it was ready for a counterattack.
Obviously, the monsters had formed a vicious joint attack and were determined to conquer Shannan!
“They must be closely related to each other and must have come from the same space-time node in the wormhole.”
Wu Mo could not help but speculate that because they had such a tacit understanding.
A bold idea suddenly emerged in his mind. “We could catch one of them, decipher their language, and ask them about their origins… We might find the answers to many complicated questions and gain more useful information to deal with the sea monsters in the future!”
However, they had to hold these three sea monsters back before Battle Mech Zero arrived!
The existing high-density ray weapons were no longer able to deal with the sea monster that wore a steel helmet. This monster and the tiger-like monster were launching attacks from both sides, so the situation was extremely dangerous.
Dark clouds covered the sky, and the atmosphere was tense.
The sea monster’s rampage was accompanied by a storm. It was as if the end of the world had arrived, and many people were anxious.
Fighting in such an environment was a great test of one’s mental strength. It would be difficult to even use weapons with top-notch firepower.
At this moment, a huge transport vehicle slowly drove over from the suburbs of Shannan.
Someone was leading the way and escorting the vehicle to the port.
The giant steel mech on the vehicle finally revealed itself, and shocking cheers resounded across the harbor.
“The first-generation Battle Mech Zero is here!”
Yes, the combat mech had finally arrived.
News of the three sea monsters appearing in Shannan had been sent to the command center, and the emergency order had been quickly transmitted.
The old chief immediately realized that this battle was no small matter. It might be difficult to fight this monster with conventional means and high-density ray weapons.
The best choice would be to send Battle Mech Zero for a frontal assault and launch an attack together with the high-density rays.
At this moment, Wu Mo could barely conceal the nervousness in his heart.
