545 Successful Lure
The threat of sea monsters had always existed.
Out of the five behemoths, the giant ape monster and the cockroach sea monster were dead. Only the Dark Ghoul that ranked first, the quasi sea monster that ranked third, and the hellhound that ranked fifth were left.
These sea monsters were extremely intelligent. They knew that the wormhole had been destroyed and that their companions had been killed by man-made mechs. As such, they were keeping a low profile.
They remained hidden while they sent the remaining sea monsters to randomly harass the humans.
On this day, a coastal city was attacked by a sea monster army!
Through satellite positioning, the people discovered that there were as many as fifty sea monsters in this army. It was probably the most powerful sea monster army to date.
The Chinese immediately decided to destroy the sea monster army near the coast of the city. They would not let them escape!
Ever since the wormhole was destroyed, the number of sea monsters had gradually decreased.
If they could eliminate this sea monster army, they could greatly reduce the threat of sea monsters in the world.
“Sigh, if Chief Engineer Wu’s Divine Dragon mech was repaired, we wouldn’t have to worry about the sea monster army now.” An officer sighed.
Even though Battle God and Zero could still be used, the power they could unleash against the sea monster army was limited.
However, during this critical moment, Wu Mo suddenly appeared at the base!
“Huh? Chief Engineer Wu, aren’t you researching controllable nuclear fusion at the Western Desert Nuclear Reactor Base? Why are you here all of a sudden?”
The officers present were puzzled. They were commanding the battle against the sea monsters on the front line, but they did not expect to see Wu Mo.
Wu Mo smiled mysteriously. “Five mechs with human-machine integration are ready. Send them over immediately!”
“What? We have five mechs with human-machine integration at our disposal?”
Everyone present was incredibly surprised when they received this news.
They sensed that they were the last to learn of this news and felt somewhat neglected.
In reality, even the old chief did not know about this.
Wu Mo had personally led the entire development process, which included the selection of the five mech pilots.
Hong Peng and Dongfang Moyu were naturally among them. After all, their performance as mech pilots had been extremely outstanding. One could say that they were impeccable.
Apart from the two of them, there were three other young pilots around the age of eighteen.
They had great reflexes and composure. Wu Mo was very satisfied with their performance after he conducted many psychological tests.
As for Wu Mo’s own Divine Dragon mech, it was still getting repairs on the base.
Divine Dragon’s system was complex and advanced. Therefore, it took plenty of effort and time to repair the mech after it suffered such horrific damage.
However, with the current five mechs, it was only a matter of time before they destroyed the sea monster army.
…
The moment the five mechs with human-machine integration entered the battlefield, the media around the world instantly went into an uproar.
This battle attracted everyone’s attention.
People knew that the number of sea monsters would gradually decrease since the wormhole had been destroyed.
However, this sea monster army was probably the strongest one so far. Fifty sea monsters appeared before the cameras, and the audience stared at their screen with full concentration.
Would these five mechs with human-machine integration be able to completely defeat the sea monster army?
Dongfang Moyu and Hong Peng returned to the cockpit of their mechs. Their bodies trembled with excitement as they gripped the control stick tightly.
Their hearts were racing!
“It’s back! The feeling is finally back!”
Dongfang Moyu closed his eyes as tears rolled down his cheeks.
No one was more obsessed with mech piloting than he was, and it was an obsession that he could not let go.
Now that he had regained the familiar feeling, his driving skills seemed to have improved to another level.
“Kill them!” Dongfang Moyu said softly. The mech he piloted was like a ferocious tiger that pounced on its prey as it leapt forward.
At this moment, everyone in the base held their breaths as they watched.
Even though they knew in advance that the five human-machine integrated mechs were powerful, they still needed to test them in actual combat.
Until they saw results, no one could predict the outcome.
“You have to win!”
Every officer clenched their fists nervously, as they were worried for the pilots.
The screens showed Dongfang Moyu and Hong Peng leading the charge. Soon, their mechs broke through the sea monster army’s formation.
With their skillful techniques, smooth movements, and lethal force, they quickly defeated more than ten sea monsters.
This display inspired the novice pilots in the three mechs behind them.
“This is how mechs should be! They’re invincible! All the sea monsters can go to hell!”
The novice pilots were motivated by Dongfang Moyu and Hong Peng, who operated their mechs with passion.
Although they were a little green and their movements were not as fluid, they quickly grew increasingly skillful.
The five mechs formed an invincible team that gradually wiped out all the sea monsters.
The people in the base cheered, “Victory! We finally won!”
The soldiers cheered and waved their hands as their eyes welled up.
Wu Mo looked at the scene before him with satisfaction. He had incorporated more advanced technology on top of the mechs’ previous foundations. This allowed the pilots to better unleash their potential.
Wu Mo knew that humans would eventually destroy the sea monsters, but this process would take time.
There might still be some sea monsters hiding in the dark.
Fortunately, while mankind’s technological prowess was constantly improving, the strength of its cosmic visitors was stagnant.
At some point, they would fall behind, and humans would destroy them.
Just as Wu Mo was about to return to the desert base to complete the huge reactor shell, the image on the screen abruptly changed!
A sea monster jumped out of the water moments before the monster army was completely wiped out.
Its body was huge, and its eyes were ferocious, as well as terrifying, like that of a demon.
It was the Dark Ghoul, the one that topped the sea monster rankings!
“Oh, my God! The Dark Ghoul! Look, it’s here!”
At this moment, the experts in the Sea Monster Research Center got worked up too.
Through their research, they discovered that the Dark Ghoul’s strength might exceed the combined strength of the second to fifth sea monsters on the list.
By now, the strongest sea monster army had been destroyed, but the strongest Dark Ghoul had not been defeated.
The five mechs gathered together and engaged in a fierce battle with the Dark Ghoul in the distance. The spectacle attracted everyone’s attention.
“Mr. Wu, the Dark Ghoul has appeared!”
Right then, Wu Mo saw the Dark Ghoul while he was on the main base.
Among the five monsters, the half-human half-demon sea monster and the hellhound were only average in strength.
Wu Mo was confident that if he could restore the Divine Dragon mech, he could easily tear apart his opponents in a head-on battle.
However, the Dark Ghoul had always been mysterious and unpredictable. Hence, it was difficult for people to know how far it could go.
Wu Mo had a bad feeling about this. He guessed that this monster was probably a product of a higher civilization from another planet.
Why was it so huge, though? Were there no other creatures in the universe that were similar in size to humans?
He shook his head and dismissed the idea.
