The Plane War Begins from Wandering Earth

Chapter 186 185. If you don't mind

Time came to 2021.

The "Wall of Life" project in the Pacific Rim region is still moving forward.

Cash-for-work operations are also expanding in areas controlled by the coalition government.

More and more refugees regard the area under the control of the United Nations government as a refuge that is on par with or even surpasses the developed regions of the Pacific Rim.

At the same time, the situation of the "Kaiju Beast Invasion" did not improve at all.

On January 2021, 1, the Kaiju code-named "Torture" landed in Bangkok in Southeast Asia.

The "Wall of Life", which has not yet been completely closed and completed, is still unable to stop this alien monster that stands nearly 80 meters tall and weighs more than 2,000 tons.

The PPDC observation and warning outpost set up on the coast will immediately issue an alarm to the PPDC headquarters and nearby cities and residential areas.

Amid the sound of air raid sirens resounding throughout the city, this level 3 monster codenamed "Torture" landed in a swagger and began its destruction.

The appearance of "Torture" resembles a combination of a wolf and a gorilla. It has a wolf's head and a gorilla's body.

The tail is thick and powerful, and there are three tentacles on the back that are nearly 100 meters long.

By striking with its tentacles and tail, it can "bind" its enemy, restricting its movements, while launching fatal blows with other parts of its body.

Thankfully, Torture doesn't have a "ranged magic attack" like Flame God's Acid Spray.

All of its attack methods are physical.

But unfortunately, compared to the previous "Flame God", the defensive ability of "Torture" seems to have been improved again.

After receiving the news, Marshal Stek immediately decided to send two mechas to provide support.

One is the "Danger Wanderer" which has just completed renovation and restoration and has been reborn from the ashes.

The other one is the "Horizon Warrior", the second giant mecha in East Asia, produced in Qingdao.

After establishing contact with Hannibal Zhou and the United Government, Marshal Steck received a lot of financial and resource assistance.

While completing the task of repairing and renovating the "Dangerous Wanderer", Marshal Stek did not waste the remaining funds at all.

While carrying out routine maintenance on the Storm Crimson, some necessary internal electronic components were also upgraded.

As the most powerful mecha in the "Hunter Project", Marshal Stek must ensure the combat effectiveness of Storm Red, and will try to upgrade all technological equipment that can be used as long as conditions permit.

Storm Red, which was in the process of upgrading its internal electronic components, was naturally absent from this battle.

The "Danger Wanderer" sent by Marshal Steck adopted a variety of new technologies and new weapon system design concepts, and he had high hopes for it.

But in the final analysis, the technology and equipment on the reborn "Danger Wanderer" have not yet been tested in actual combat.

Not to mention the extremely bold decision of "single driver", and the driver was Liu Qi, a novice with only one year of schooling.

Although theoretically there is no problem.

But Marshal Steck decided to arrange a "veteran" to assist the "Dangerous Wanderer" in combat.

The "Horizon Warriors", which was born in 2015 and survived to this day, is undoubtedly an experienced "veteran".

As the first generation of giant mecha in the same batch as Cherno Alpha, its design concept is the "free fighting" style.

By taking advantage of its super strong defense, it fights with Kaiju in a "life-for-life" injury-exchanging style.

The Horizon Warrior's ultimate move is the "Absolute Zero Freezing Cannon": it uses liquid helium to launch a close-range attack on the Kaiju.

Liquid helium is stored in huge tanks on both sides of the mecha's head or shoulders.

The two mechas arrived at the Bangkok battlefield almost at the same time.

As a "veteran" Horizon Warrior pilot, he felt that he should set an example for the new pilots, so he took the lead in controlling the mecha and rushed towards "Torture".

Having just suffered the "torture" of a round of conventional firepower attacks by the local military, it shook its "wolf head" angrily and walked out of the thick smoke.

Before it could retaliate against the local military, an iron fist rushed towards it, knocking it back three or four steps.

The muscles in the legs of Torture, who was becoming more and more angry, suddenly swelled up, and he jumped fifty or sixty meters high on the spot, knocking the Horizon Warrior to the ground with the force of a mountain.

The three tentacles on its back tightly bound the Horizon Warrior's arms, making it unable to fight back.

The wolf opened its mouth as wide as it could and bit the Horizon Warrior madly.

The Horizon Warrior's outer armor was torn apart, sparks flew, and there were continuous bursts of harsh "metal friction sounds".

Liu Qi, who was driving the "Danger Wanderer" not far away, quickly operated the mecha, took a big step forward and went to rescue.

The first generation of mecha was designed to deal with the Kaiju that first landed on Earth. Now when facing the third-level monster, its battlefield adaptability is obviously unable to keep up with the times.

The Horizon Warrior, whose hands were controlled by the tentacles, had no additional means of attack to escape.

Fortunately, with the help of the "Dangerous Wanderer", both hands are equipped with elbow rockets, which not only increase the speed of punching, but also can exert the effect of heavy blows in battle.

The Dangerous Wanderer used a "Pegasus Meteor Fist" to hit the wolf head of "Torture" hard.

Forcing the opponent to release the tentacles that bound the Horizon Warrior.

"Good job Liu Qi, stay calm and test the opponent's attack mode first..."

Marshal Steck, who was watching the command remotely, breathed a sigh of relief. If only the Horizon Warriors were sent this time, they would probably be easily destroyed by the level 3 monster on the opposite side.

Faced with the Kaiju, which is still evolving and becoming increasingly powerful, the first generation of mechas that have been in service for many years eventually became obsolete and began to be gradually abandoned by the times.

Before Marshal Stek could continue to lament, the Horizon Warrior struggled to stand up, seeming to be angry about being suppressed and unable to move before.

After getting up, the first thing he did was to use his ultimate weapon: the absolute zero freezing cannon.

The two huge liquid nitrogen storage tanks at the head and shoulders look like two deformed "pathological tumors" from the outside.

As the Horizon Warrior raised his steel fist, the overflowing liquid nitrogen began to spray towards the monster.

The next moment, a heavy hammer struck the "torture".

The "enchanted" iron fist was much more powerful, and the third-level monster "Torture" had to roar and retreat continuously.

The Danger Wanderer on the side carried out Marshal Stek's order, holding high the particle energy plasma cannon emitting blue light, and occasionally fired at the "Torture" to scout for the Horizon Warriors.

The constantly roaring "Torture" obviously regards the current main attacker: Horizon Warrior as the first threat.

Once again, he leaped high and tackled it, temporarily ignoring the blows coming at it from the Danger Wanderer.

Obviously, its fighting instinct told it that in a one-on-two situation, it had to deal with one of them first before it could break the deadlock.

The tip of the thick tail of "Torture" is covered with cuticle and is as hard as the tip of a biomass spear.

The convulsive ejection twitched and instantly, like a scorpion's stinger, pierced the "liquid nitrogen storage tank" on the right side of the Horizon Warrior's head and shoulder.

And the remaining force further pierced the outer shell armor of the mecha cockpit.

The moment the liquid nitrogen storage tank was "exploded", countless compressed liquid nitrogen stored inside burst out instantly.

The air was filled with a thick white fog.

Just as Torture pulled out its stinger, the leaked liquid nitrogen flowed through the damaged hole and entered the cockpit of the Horizon Warrior.

The two mecha pilots had no time to eject and escape, and were instantly frozen into ice cubes by the ultra-low temperature liquid nitrogen at minus 196 degrees Celsius.

The entire Horizon Warriors also collapsed to the ground, unable to struggle or move.

Liu Qi witnessed the death of his comrades with his own eyes. In the battle with the Kaiju, accidents seemed to be able to happen at any time.

The Kaiju, which was being pinned down and beaten by two giant mechas just a moment ago, counterattacked in an instant.

So, will I be the next one?
There was no time to mourn for the pilots of the Horizon Warriors. Liu Qi gritted his teeth, and with a ferocious look on his face, he controlled the mecha and advanced instead of retreating.

He grabbed the tail of "Torture" with his left hand, raised his right hand high, and with the help of the elbow rocket thruster, he used the "Pegasus Meteor Fist" to hit the base of "Torture"'s tail again and again.

The painful "Torture" felt the strong murderous intent from the dangerous Wanderer, and its three tentacles tightly wrapped around the opponent.

Both sides rolled on the ground, crushing many streets, countless shops, residential buildings, and vehicles on the streets that had no time to dodge.

Based on the previous generation, the Dangerous Wanderer is equipped with a more powerful outer shell armor.

The defensive power is far superior to the first generation of Mecha Horizon Warriors.

For a moment, the two sides were like two street thugs, fighting on the ground without any image.

The mecha and the Kaiju confronted each other on the ground.

Marshal Steck, who was watching and commanding the battle remotely, was extremely anxious.

The driver's experience is definitely not a problem on Horizon Warrior.

They were defeated and destroyed entirely because of the design flaws of the first generation of mechas.

Many new technologies and designs are applied to the Danger Wanderer. Stek regards it as the new "benchmark for giant mecha combat power" after Storm Red.

But to be honest, Marshal Stek had no idea whether he could defeat the equally powerful level 3 monster on the opposite side.

"Quick! Connect me to the PPDC Ballistic Missile Weapons Command. I need them to provide some support to the Dangerous Wanderer!"

"Your Excellency Marshal, the PPDC military command claims that the giant mecha and the Kaiju are too close.

Given the accuracy of their missiles, there is a possibility that they might accidentally hit the giant mecha..."

Marshal Stek got a headache after hearing this, and was just thinking about how to give the Dangerous Wanderer some advantage.

Asako Mori, the adopted daughter and secretary, reported that the black marketeer Hannibal Chou wanted to see him.

"Let him go!"

The situation was urgent and Marshal Stek had no time to deal with a mere black marketeer.

But at the same time, he thought of the coalition government behind the other side.

"Wait! Why is he coming here at such a critical moment?"

"He said the coalition government is ready to conduct combat trials of drones in the Bangkok area.

If the Hunter mechas currently participating in the battle don’t mind…”
