Chapter 203: Surrounded on three sides and missing one! The pioneers’ plan for human extinction!

From the photos and videos shown on the holographic screen, the siege of the survivors on Earth in Pacific Rim was built quite tightly.

There are no scenic spots or entertainment facilities, let alone any luxurious rich areas. Every inch of land in the city is mainly for survival and industry.

It is obvious that even in the face of the life-and-death crisis of civilization extinction, the humans here are still trying their best to defend their homes.

Seeing this, Li Ang can be completely sure that the Earth Defense Force's raid has failed.

Faced with the countless giant beasts of the pioneer civilization, humans are forced to use nuclear bombs to resist.

But the serious consequences have also led to further deterioration of the earth's environment.

North America has become a hell of magma and unbearable heat. Various large cities in Eurasia have been destroyed and occupied by giant beasts.

Parts of Australia and Antarctica are the last habitats for humans!

Then the question is, why didn't the pioneer civilization try to completely destroy humans and take down this colonized planet in one go?

When Li Ang brought this topic to his core team, they all gave different answers after thinking for a while.

Some people think that the pioneer civilization is afraid that humans will perish with them, so they use nuclear bombs and hydrogen bombs to blow up the pioneer's wormhole device.

Others think that it is because the pioneers need humans as their slaves or a kind of food, so they are not in a hurry to destroy humans.

For the above speculations, Li Ang just shook his head and denied these ideas one by one.

Human hydrogen bombs and nuclear bombs have little effect on the pioneer's wormhole device.

Because the pioneer's wormhole device is a typical "strong outside and weak inside", with a powerful energy shield on the outside that can absorb the destructive power of nuclear bombs.

To destroy their wormhole, they can only blast it from the inside, but the problem is that humans cannot carry nuclear bombs into the wormhole and perish with the wormhole.

After all, the "portal" of the wormhole will detect the genetic information of the teleported object.

Once the genetic information does not match, the wormhole will not open, and the nuclear bombs carried by humans will naturally not be able to destroy the pioneer's wormhole.

As for slaves and food...

The pioneer civilization has no need to leave a future trouble for itself. The highest respect a civilization can show to other civilizations is to kill them all!

"This is a typical case of encircling three and missing one."

Leon said calmly. From the perspective of the pioneer civilization, when facing the dying human beings, he would do the same if he were in the same situation.

"Encircling three and missing one? What does this mean..."

Morgan, Lucy and others have not learned the tactics of China, so they cannot understand the idioms and allusions that Leon mentioned.

Faced with the confusion of the crowd, Leon just patiently explained to them the motivation and behavior of the pioneer civilization.

As the absolutely disadvantaged party on the verge of extinction, if the humans on Earth in "Pacific Rim" are pushed too hard, maybe these survivors will suddenly light up a certain technology or fight with the pioneers.

From the confrontation with humans in these years, Leon believes that the pioneer civilization can see how terrifying the potential of the human civilization species is.

It took hundreds of millions of years for the pioneer civilization to transform from aboriginals to high-end cosmic players close to level 3 civilization.

But what about humans?

It took less than three hundred years from farming to the development of modern civilization, which shows that human civilization has a very terrifying way of adding points.

That is, the "technological explosion"!

This is something that the pioneers could not imagine at all.

It is like practicing martial arts and learning secrets. The eldest brother relied on long-term training to develop a strong internal force and martial arts that overwhelmed the heroes.

The youngest brother who just entered the door was weak and sickly. He would not live long and did not have a strong body to adapt to various harsh planetary environments.

But just after the eldest brother practiced hard for a hundred days behind closed doors, he just wanted to show off his new martial arts that he had achieved a little success.

But he found that the youngest brother, who was once weak and fragile, had become a martial arts master who was comparable to himself!

No matter which civilization it was, they would be shocked by the extremely terrifying upgrade potential of humans.

Li Ang could roughly guess that the pioneers were afraid that their step-by-step pressure would cause humans to stimulate their potential and suddenly start a new round of technological upgrades.

Therefore, if humans are given a certain living space and breathing space, they can try to use the internal ghosts to divide humans and stimulate their internal conflicts.

Let humans die in internal strife, or let them elect a "virgin" leader to reach a so-called peace agreement with the pioneer civilization.

In this way, the pioneers can completely destroy humans and control this planet in a sure-fire way!

After listening to Leon's speculation, all the executives of the giant companies present couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

This method of destroying civilization is really creepy and feels like a thorn in the back!

In an instant, compared to the pioneers they have never seen, the executives of the giant companies suddenly have an indescribable fear of Leon.

He knows too much about how to destroy humans!

"Morgan, send more investigation teams next. I want to know more about North America, Australia, and Antarctica."

Before the executives came to their senses, Leon had issued a new order.

The above reasoning is just Li Ang's guess based on the current situation, and it cannot be regarded as the real fact.

It cannot be used as the next action deployment decision of the giant enterprise.

He still needs more information to give corresponding instructions for subsequent actions.

…

…

Forward base, logistics department!

Although the building planning area here is much smaller than that of the Wanjie Base, it does not have as many functions as the headquarters.

However, all necessary basic combat facilities are still available, such as vertical parking platforms with lifting functions and rail trains for transporting goods and soldiers.

At this moment, a train passed through the underground tunnel and came to the logistics department, and finally parked steadily at the parking platform.

When the hatch opened, fifty-two soldiers wearing MarkX conventional tactical power armor walked out of the carriage.

Unlike warriors equipped with heavy power armor, these Astartes warriors are used to handle various complex combat situations in order to ensure full functionality.

They chose a more balanced tactical power armor.

This will facilitate subsequent investigation missions.

It is worth mentioning that these elite Astartes warriors, with an average height of nearly three meters, are truly humanoid "Big Macs"!

They are the backbone of the Ace Advance Team, ruthless people who have performed more than 16 organ modification surgeries!

"Finally, I have something to do. I heard that the heretics here rely on controlling giant beasts to destroy and occupy the earth here."

The Astartes warrior with [Jack Wells] displayed on the helmet screen looked at V beside him and said with a chuckle.

Before coming here, Jack also heard some information about "Pioneers" and "Genetic Behemoths".

Although he was not very confident in being able to confront a giant beast that was just tens of meters tall, he was still somewhat confident in beheading the pioneer.

"Jack, you have to be vigilant at all times this time. If I hadn't drawn my gun quickly enough last time, you might have been in big trouble."

Seeing that Jack was as optimistic as ever and still relaxed about the upcoming mission, V, as the captain, couldn't help but remind him.

Although the power armor they are equipped with can block most attacks for them, it is uncertain whether the pioneer civilization this time may be hiding any other tricks.

"Hey! Don't worry V, I know what's going on."

Of course Jack knew the importance of this mission. He usually joked with his comrades and relaxed just to better complete the next mission.

"V, the earth here has been ruined into such a horrible state. Do you think it is still necessary for our company to rebuild this planet?"

At this moment, Johnny Silverhand spoke up.

Compared with the earth here, the environmental damage suffered by the earth in "Netherworld" is simply not worth mentioning.

It's just nuclear pollution. Giant companies have plenty of ways to clean up the sources of pollution and rebuild a new earth.

But the Earth in "Pacific Rim" is full of erupted volcanoes. Not only is the air composition no longer suitable for humans, but even the atmospheric pressure is much higher than on the original Earth.

An earth like this, even if it takes manpower and material resources to rebuild, it may not be restored to its original appearance within a few hundred years.

Before V could reply, Jack on the side spoke first: "If you ask me, just transform this earth into a second ideal city."

"Anyway, it has been destroyed like this, so why not go with the flow and help them build a better home? If you want to see the sea, go to "Netherworld" Earth to see it."

After hearing Jack's answer, Johnny's eyes suddenly lit up: "Jack, you are such a fucking talent!"

V: "..."

After a few people finished joking and chatting, they officially started the next investigation operation.

The fifty-two people were divided into two groups. Group A was led by V, and Group B was led by Li De. The two groups of soldiers entered two prepared Storm Eagle gunboats.

Here, the ground staff who had completed the inspection raised their hands to signal, and then withdrew to a safe area.

Immediately afterwards, the lifting platform carried two Storm Eagle gunboats and transported them to the ground through the platform.

When the lifting platform came to a stop, the pilot immediately controlled the two Storm Eagle gunships to quickly take off and disappear from the frontline base in an instant.

Soon after, in the engine room of the gunboat.

In order to save more energy and thoughts, all the soldiers in the cabin remained silent and did not say a word to their comrades beside them.

When performing tasks, any nonsense is a waste of energy and everyone must focus on the task.

Even Jack Wills, who usually talks the most, looks solemn and unsmiling at this moment.

[Attention everyone! 】

Suddenly, Morgan Blackhand's voice came over the team's communication channel.

[After high-altitude photography of the Endless-class starship, we discovered that there are large extraterrestrial beasts and alien species in North America, so Group B will serve as an operational base station to provide transportation and evacuation services. 】

After learning the news, the captain of Group B, Li De, was slightly shocked. If this happened, wouldn't the reconnaissance mission in North America be cancelled?

And they will serve as the backup force of Group A, or they will separate to investigate the "siege" of humans.

Sure enough, Morgan's next command in the communication voice reassigned tasks to groups A and B.

[Team A, led by Chapter Leader V, and members of Group B will go directly to Australia and Antarctica to conduct investigations. 】

[Please try to infiltrate the area as much as possible, communicate with local humans, and obtain more valuable intelligence information. ]

[To facilitate the headquarters' next decision-making and deployment! ]

[Okay, this is the action plan for this time. I wish you all good luck in martial arts. See you at our base. ]

After the voice fell, Morgan hung up the communication voice.

And the gunboat of Group B also began to choose the flight direction again and completed the direction change in the low-Earth orbit.

Boom--! !

As the power of the nuclear fusion engine increased, the entire turret began to emit a deafening roar.

Under the control of the pilot, the Storm Eagle gunboat began to gradually descend and return to the atmosphere.

Fortunately, the armor material of the gunboat is hard enough to effectively avoid the plasma fireballs caused by high-speed friction and keep the temperature in the cabin suitable.

The Astartes warriors in the cabin did not feel any uncomfortable and uncomfortable oppression.

Not long after, the vibration frequency of the gunboat was no longer obvious, and the flying posture was much more stable.

But the speed of the gunboat was also slowed down a lot.

"Report to the commander, we have now arrived in the stratosphere, and it is expected that in two minutes, we will remain stable in the troposphere 8,000 meters above the ground."

"Next, I will share vision with you. Please reply if you receive it."

At this time, the pilot of the gunboat reported to Li De in the cabin.

After a while, a small floating window was generated on the screen of Li De's tactical helmet.

The visual situation outside appeared clearly in front of Li De.

"Okay, the visual sharing is connected, I can see it here."

Li De responded in time in the communication voice.

Through the vision sharing provided by the pilot, Li De and the soldiers in the cabin saw the disturbing red light under the thick black fog.

The fine particles in the air constantly hit the cabin wall under the high-speed impact, making a "tapping" sound.

Until the gunboat carrying the Astartes warriors passed through the cirrus area, everything became clear.

Under the thick black fog, the hot and boiling flowing magma was like a fine little snake, crawling on the hideous and terrifying ground.

The skyscrapers that represent human civilization have long collapsed into ruins, and the dilapidated and desolate dead city is silently telling the end of mankind.

"Roar--!!"

When the gunboat flew over the dead city, deafening roars rang out from time to time below.

According to the gunboat's own reconnaissance system, the soldiers in the cabin could see that there were several hundred-meter-high beasts 10,000 meters below them.

It was a level 5 beast created by the pioneer civilization, the poisonous woman Kaiju beast, which weighed 10,000 tons, had extremely strong muscle strength, and deadly venom and corrosive acid.

At an altitude of 10,000 meters, the gunboat tracked and observed the poisonous woman beast throughout the whole process, and photographed and recorded its main features.

When everyone in the cabin saw the behemoth, they couldn't help but exclaimed.

"Wow! This thing is really big."

"This is the first time I've seen such a scary beast. It must be tens of thousands of tons!"

"I'm afraid it's more than that... I don't know if our gunboat can penetrate the skin of this thing."

"..."

After seeing the full picture of the "poisonous woman" beast, even the battle-hardened Astartes warriors were a little stunned at this time.

But after coming to their senses, the soldiers put their energy back to completing the task.

And Li De sent all the videos and photos he took to the front-line base and the headquarters of the Wanjie Base.

In order to let Li Ang, the boss of the headquarters, know the appearance and movement of the beast as much as possible.

The gunboat even hovered in the air for a while to capture the details of the beast.

"This should be a city built by the pioneer civilization. I seem to have seen smaller aliens. They should be pioneers."

At this time, the sharp-eyed David Martinez reported to Li De what he had just discovered in time.

"Pioneers... It seems that this group of heretics have already colonized the earth on a large scale. The giant beast below may be their patrol dog."

Li De was thoughtful. He was considering whether to continue tracking the giant beast and observe the situation more.

Just as Li De was thinking about the next decision, David once again turned his eyes to the holographic screen in the helmet.

Through the real-time picture transmitted by the gunboat, he saw that the scale of the city below was actually quite large.

It's just that the city transformed by the pioneer civilization is not the same as the skyscrapers of humans.

The "building" made of various dark green mucus and indescribable fungi and plants is like an ugly finished product made by children's urine and mud.

Just when Li De decided to give up observing the giant beast and continue to go to the human settlement, V's voice suddenly rang.

[Everyone, I have temporarily revised our action plan to the headquarters. Now we have to go deep into the enemy's territory to investigate the city of the pioneer civilization! 】

After the voice fell, the soldiers in the cabin of Group B were slightly surprised. Is it such a big deal? Go directly to the enemy's hometown to collect intelligence.

"V, has the headquarters responded?"

Li De did not rush to agree to V's request, but first asked for instructions from the headquarters.

After all, he was a veteran who had been in the system for many years and knew the importance of "procedure".

Any action or plan that does not conform to the procedure can easily become a handle to stab oneself.

As long as you are within the system, not making mistakes is far more difficult and more important than making meritorious deeds!

[The headquarters has already sent another person to investigate the human city, and the most difficult work is left to us. ]

After learning that this temporary mission was supported by the highest order from the headquarters, Li De responded with confidence and said: "Yes, we will go with you now."

After that, Li De looked at the soldiers in the cabin:

"Everyone, are you ready!"

Instantly, the soldiers responded: "Always be prepared!"

Seeing the high-spirited attitude of the soldiers, Li De immediately marked the landing site on the thumbnail map and sent it to the team members.

Then he reminded the pilots through the communication device and asked them to drive the gunboat to the designated location.

"Yes, sir!"

While giving a response, the pilot quickly controlled the gunboat's gun fuselage and flew to the north of the heretic city.

Ta-ta--!

During this period, the cabin was filled with the sounds of Astartes warriors checking their equipment and adjusting their power armor. The battle was about to begin, and their mood gradually became excited.

When everything was ready, the gunboat also lowered its landing gear.

After a while, the gunboat stopped steadily in an open space.

Swish! !

When the doors on both sides opened, a strong airflow wrapped in rolling heat waves rushed towards the warriors.

Fortunately, there was a thick enough ceramic steel shell to block the high temperature and high pressure environment for them, ensuring that the warriors in the armor were in the best combat state.

Li De led the Astartes warriors behind him and quickly left the cabin. The first thing they did after getting off the plane was to stay alert and observe the surrounding situation.

After V and his party arrived here, they started to move and continue the next action.

Boom——!

After sending the warriors to their destination, the gunboat started to take off again, ready to hover at a safe altitude nearby to facilitate the soldiers below.

"Everyone, let's get to work!"

As V finished speaking, the warriors moved quickly towards their destination in teams of three, keeping a distance from each other.

In less than ten minutes, they arrived at the edge of the ruins, where there was a crack nearly 10 meters wide.

Under the crack was slowly flowing magma, and bursts of steam mixed with various toxic gases, accompanied by the gurgling magma, rushed up.

"It seems we have to jump over."

V glanced at the other side, and after activating the auxiliary function of the power armor, he stepped back a few steps, and then jumped forward at a faster speed.

Boom! !

V easily jumped over the ten-meter-wide crack.

And then, the rest of the Astartes warriors followed V's actions and jumped to the other side one by one.

Everyone continued to move forward along the cracked ground, heading towards the city center covered with fungi and dark green mucus.

Suddenly, a roaring sound came from in front of V, and the ground beneath their feet began to tremble and shake with the heavy footsteps of the newcomers.

"Everyone hide!"

V immediately gave the order.

Soon, the soldiers quickly found their own shelters and hid themselves.

V, who was huddled in a collapsed area, quietly looked outside, trying to observe the giant beast that was rushing over.

After a while, V saw the true appearance of the giant beast.

It was a giant beast with a head like a knife and axe. It seemed to have noticed that there were intruders nearby, and it was shaking its head constantly to inspect the surrounding situation.

Fortunately, there were many ruins nearby, which could barely accommodate this group of tall Astartes warriors.

The giant beast did not see any abnormal situation for a while.

"Hu! Hu——!"

At this moment, David was trying his best to control his breathing frequency.

He held the E11 blaster rifle tightly in his hands, and observed the giant beast on the side and above through the visual assistance system of the helmet.

Bang!

Bang! !

Every step the giant beast took to shake the earth would cause strong local shocks.

The giant monster codenamed "Axe Head" was getting closer and closer to the area where they were!
