The Plane War Begins from Wandering Earth

Chapter 198 197. Scavenger Open the Door! Free Trade!

[The United Government issued an emergency notice to the Pacific Rim region!

Given that the third-level Kaiju code-named "Scavenger" escaped the encirclement of the United Government's mecha forces.

The threat of "scavengers" has not been eliminated for the time being.

Any coastal port or city in the Pacific Rim could become the next target of attack.

The coalition government and relevant departments of the PPDC will continue to search for the whereabouts of the "scavenger"...】

The statement from the United Government has once again raised concerns among people in the Pacific Rim region.

The destruction of the Tango Wolf and the martyrdom of two veteran mecha pilots have made the people who have been paying attention to the matter feel extremely heavy.

If even the United Government cannot handle it, the panic caused by "Scavenger" in the Pacific Rim region will continue to intensify.

For a time, almost all major news and public opinion platforms around the world began to have extensive discussions on the "scavenger attack incident."

[It's unbelievable that Kaiju can actually run away?

I really don’t know whether this is a good thing or a bad thing for us humans. 】

[Of course it’s news that can’t get any worse!]
This is most likely a landmark event in the re-evolution of Kaiju.

Faced with the terrifying suppression power of the United Government’s four mechas, the “Scavenger” chose to avoid fighting.

This will inevitably spread its destruction and pollution to other wider areas around the Pacific Rim.

[Many people are worried about the fact that "Kaijumon has grown a brain", but as a retired expert from the ppdc monster science department.

I can tell you responsibly that you are definitely worrying too much.

Because the effective brain capacity of Kaiju is less than one thousandth of its total body mass.

This basic brain capacity is not enough to support complex brain thinking.

I would rather believe that the "fleeing from battle" incident was a coincidence...】

Compared with the different opinions expressed by people in the Pacific Rim on the "Scavenger Attack", people in the relatively safe inland areas focused on the area where the "Scavenger" would land next.

At present, even the United Government, which is recognized to have the strongest military and technological levels, cannot locate the specific location of the "Scavenger".

Regarding this hot topic that has attracted global attention, many bars, underground casinos, and even regular gaming companies have started a "landing location guessing" campaign for the "scavenger."

The lowest odds are around St. Lawrence Island, closest to where the "Scavenger" was last seen.

Vladivostok in the Far East, Alaska in North America, and the Greater California region...

Of course, the country with the highest odds is Australia, which is the farthest away in a straight line, reaching 115 to 1.

However, as usual, there is also an option of [Other regions outside the Pacific Rim], which has an outrageous odds of up to one thousand to one.

But even so, few people bet on it.

Since the first Kaiju invasion, all Kaiju's activities have been within the Pacific Rim region.

Many years have passed, and there has been no exception.

This kind of guessing and gambling activity has caused strong dissatisfaction among people in the Pacific Rim region.

It is believed that this behavior, which is built on the disaster and suffering of the people in the coastal areas, is simply inhumane.

In the end, the PPDC announced the ban on all private gambling activities related to Kaiju.

Then he turned around and announced that the official ppdc would launch the "Monster Gambling Industry" activity, and promised that all the proceeds would be handed over to the "Hunter Plan" for the maintenance of existing old mechas, the research and development and manufacturing of new models of mechas, etc.

Due to the "scavenger attack incident", various chaotic social phenomena continue to appear in the Pacific Rim region.

People in Europe, far away in the "safe zone", are also very concerned about this.

Countries in Europe have announced a "decoupling" from the Pacific Rim region, but this is limited to trade, transportation and financial exchanges.

Every Kaiju invasion remains a hot topic that attracts a lot of attention on the global Internet.

However, for the people in Europe, they quite enjoy the feeling of being a "spectator" who has nothing to do with the matter.

Until the sixth day after the "Scavenger" appeared.

On October 10, a radar observer on a Royal Navy destroyer that was on a routine cruise in the English Channel reported the discovery of radar signals of large unidentified creatures beneath the sea.

At first the captain thought that the problem was with the old ship which was close to being scrapped.

The Royal Navy's reputation has long since disappeared, and the radar equipment on its ships is a product of more than 20 years ago.

It also seemed reasonable that something could go wrong.

The captain, who had held up the alarm but had not reported it, was about to check it again.

However, before he could give the order, a huge wave hit the side of the destroyer.

The old destroyer weighing more than 1,000 tons was swept by the huge waves and sank to the bottom of the sea without any resistance. The captain, who had escaped death by holding on to the lifebuoy, finally surfaced and saw the most shocking scene in his life.

A giant beast with a body length of nearly 100 meters emerged from the sea and slowly walked towards the coast.

"Scavengers" appear in the English Channel? !

This explosive news immediately swept the world.

Especially the English and French chicken on both sides of the English Channel.

At this time, it no longer matters how the "scavengers" crossed half the globe from the Pacific region to Europe.

What matters is how Europe responds.

Kaiju had never appeared in Europe before, and there was almost no experience in dealing with them.

The first response of the European region, which was in chaos from top to bottom, was to launch a military strike against the "scavengers".

The "anti-monster cannons" deployed in port cities on both sides of the Taiwan Strait opened fire first.

These "anti-monster cannons" were produced during the time when the Kaijumon first invaded.

The appearance of the Kaiju and the destruction it caused shocked countries around the world.

In order to protect itself, Europe quickly passed the decision to build "giant permanent military artillery" in coastal cities.

However, Kaiju never appeared outside the Pacific Rim, so the plan was gradually abandoned.

The two sides of the English Channel were the first regions to implement the policy, retaining more than 150 "anti-monster cannons".

However, the "Anti-Monster Cannon" that was originally built to deal with level one monsters was completely powerless against level three monsters like the "Scavenger".

The thick solid shells were accelerated by electromagnetic force and slammed into the "fish head" of the "scavenger", but they could not even break the surface biomass cortex.

On the contrary, the permanent artillery fort built of reinforced concrete was reduced to a pile of ruins in just one round under the impact of the "scavenger".

The area where the "scavenger" appeared is less than 200 kilometers away from London and Paris.

No one dared to imagine what a terrible disaster it would be if these two cities were attacked by Kaiju beasts.

Therefore, the two countries dispatched all long-range strike forces, including the navy, air force, and land-based missile forces, to try to stop the "Scavenger"'s actions.

However, it turns out that conventional military equipment is completely powerless against these thick-skinned Kaiju beasts.

The more frequent the missile bombings from warships, fighter planes, and ground bases, the more ferocious the "scavengers" become.

The surface ships that were ordered to approach and encircle and suppress the "Scavenger" either sank to the bottom of the sea or were destroyed by the impact under its violent attack.

Not long after, more than thirty ships of various types sank under the narrow waters of the English Channel.

"Stop attacking!"

Suddenly, Commander-in-Chief Franch, who had been observing the situation with a frown on his face, issued the latest order.

"Sir?!"

The correspondent almost thought he had heard it wrong.

"Let our troops stop attacking!

Now! Immediately! "

The commander emphasized his order again, and this time the signalman did not dare to neglect it and immediately followed his orders.

Before long, there was a break in military strikes on both sides of the English Channel.

The firepower output from the direction of Franch seemed to have been silenced for a moment.

On the other hand, towards the English coast, firepower was still being delivered desperately.

Despite these conventional firepower deployments, it is difficult to cause fatal damage to the "Scavenger".

But it still successfully attracted the attention of the "scavenger".

The "Scavenger" turned around and landed in the direction of the English land where missiles and artillery fire were constantly coming.

It worked!
Commander-in-Chief Franch's tense mind finally relaxed a little.

As for the damage that would be caused by the landing of the "scavengers" on England across the Channel, he no longer cared about it.

A dead Taoist friend is not a poor Taoist.

He is a French soldier and naturally he has to protect his country.

“Contact the coalition government, ppdc, for me immediately!

We need stronger support!"
