On the huge stereoscopic projection layer, various data representing different values are intertwined, and eventually red appears from the edges, until the entire stereoscopic projection screen is dyed red, as if a basin of blood-red fuel was poured on it in an instant.
"Holman, so...does this mean failure?" Asako Mori, who was staring at the screen, turned his head, with a hint of disbelief in his eyes, and the hand holding the edge of the table could not help but tighten slightly.
"Obviously, a new wormhole has been formed, and the trend is uncontrollable. The location is in the sea near the Cashier Islands in the Arctic, that barren land. No wonder it can escape the ppdc's search and actually freeze itself.
"I fell into a glacier hundreds of meters away." Dr. Holman closed his eyes slightly, with a trace of helplessness in his tone.
It's true that ppdc has never searched that kind of place, but it hasn't done so careful investigation due to various reasons.
The more extreme the environment, the easier it is to cause wear and tear on the mecha. Whether it is extremely cold or extremely hot, it may not have a big impact in a short period of time because of the protection on the surface of the mecha, but it can last for several months and nearly a year.
In the glacier, whether the mecha can be activated again will be a problem.
After all, maintenance is a very large cost.
"We discovered it too late, and there was not enough time to stop its 'Obsidian Fury' action." Holman sighed, his chest filled with a sense of depression and unwillingness.
"There is no point in regretting what has happened now!"
Marshal Quan shook his head and looked at Holman with a frown: "The most important thing right now is to find a way to close or destroy the wormhole as soon as possible. We can't let monsters come to the earth under our noses!"
"There's no way to close it!"
Without the slightest hesitation, Holman roared out almost subconsciously, his chest heaving violently. Looking at the two people's eyes, he looked painful and said with great difficulty: "This wormhole is different from the past. Judging from the test results,
Analysis, from the moment it was opened, the entire wormhole has been continuously reinforced. The important thing is to analyze and detect the results. This reinforcement is not from our side, but from another boundary."
"There is the entire world over there. Unless our power exceeds theirs, we can really close the wormhole."
"In other words, the pioneers have taken the initiative to strengthen the passage and are likely to start attacking. They are no longer just one, two, three or five. It is very likely that we will face an entire colony next.
monster!"
Holman's voice revealed despair, and his body, which was leaning on crutches, was already crouched, and now it seemed to be pressed to the ground. The non-stop throwing out the analytical conclusions he had just obtained seemed to drain his energy all at once.
god.
The whole person looked extremely depressed.
"Is there no solution?" Asako Mori asked.
"No." Holman's stooped body sat down along the floor. The floor in the laboratory was a bit cold, but he was so weak that he didn't care at all.
Here he has the richest scientific knowledge, and his understanding of wormholes and pioneers is also the deepest in the entire world. The more authoritative a person is, the more desperate he becomes, because he knows better than those who know nothing about what the earth is about to face.
What.
According to the information he had learned from previous encounters with monsters, that was probably the number of monsters on an entire planet and an entire colony.
Ten thousand? One hundred thousand? Or more...
Totally impossible to calculate!
Holman's scalp became more and more numb as he thought about it. He seemed to have seen behemoths passing through wormholes and coming to the earth, with their huge mouths wide open wantonly. For a moment, the cold feeling on the floor was not as scary as the feeling above his head.
"What if...what if I agree to your previous plan."
After hesitating for a moment, Marshal Quan turned his head and stared at Holman and said in a serious voice, "About the super serum test you proposed before."
"Lu Ming?"
Holman seemed to have thought of something, his gray eyes lit up, and he came back from his own world for a moment, but soon thought of something, his eyes fell silent again, and he shook his head feebly, "Let's not talk about it yet.
Can you handle the couple coaches? Even if you can, it's too late to start testing now!"
"Because based on his previous performance and the conclusion drawn, his vitality is relatively high, and the threshold of cell division and recombination has increased, but! But they are so strong, even if we can dissect them, it is impossible
Got a way for us to kill the monster."
"It doesn't matter that their cell characteristics and life strength are dozens of times stronger than ordinary people. It's just an extension of the life cycle, which cannot make up for the gap between humans and monsters and pioneers."
"The quality and size are compared there. This is an irreversible fact. What we need is destructive power and weapons. Weapons that are more powerful than Mecha Hunters."
Holman lowered his head and spoke the extremely despairing facts.
"I see."
Asako Mori and Marshal Quan looked at each other, and both saw the helplessness in each other's eyes, and there was also a hint of happiness. Fortunately, the final result did not require touching Lu Ming and Li Shiqing.
Asako Mori is because Lu Ming once saved her and was pulled back before she was about to die. She understands the importance of some things outside of work better than she did before.
Marshal Quan is because after entering the ppdc Mo Yulan base from the other party, he received the other party's goodwill in various details. This kind of person who is obviously pro-our faction is really unwilling to force him to become a hostile party unless necessary.
What he said just now was just to test Holman. After all, if Lu Ming and Li Shiqing really had the chance to win this battle just by using it as a test, then the higher-ups would most likely take drastic action.
But now, everything is still limited to the previous data analysis. The extension of lifespan may sound very tempting, but when the earth is going to be destroyed, what use does it matter no matter how long your lifespan is?
Can you withstand a big mouth from a monster?
"How long will it take for the monster to arrive?" Pouring his lips, Asako Mori suddenly thought of this very important question.
The number of monsters cannot be confirmed, so the time and location must be confirmed. The more detailed the data, the better it can be reported to the superiors, and the better the response strategy can be.
"I'm not sure, but you'd better not be too optimistic. According to the analysis of the detection results of the sea area around the Arctic, the current strength of the wormhole is enough to support the monsters coming over. The reason why they have not come over now is probably because
We are preparing our military strength and striving to occupy our world at once, and the wormhole data is gradually being strengthened every minute and every second. It will reach the critical point in no more than seven days at the longest..."
Shaking his head, Holman reached out and pulled out a message link from the table above. He clicked on "Catch the Rape" several times to form a colorful band stripe, "Seven days is still the most ideal result."
"In other words, the best outcome is that humans will still have seven days of stability... It doesn't seem to be completely bad, at least they didn't attack immediately." Marshal Quan was silent for a while, and then spoke after a while.
.
It seemed that he wanted to smile to lighten the atmosphere, but Marshal Quan's stiff expression all the time couldn't be changed. Instead, he looked a little awkward. The two people next to him looked at him but had no intention of joking.
"The ppdc will immediately activate the highest alert, and I will immediately report to the committee to mobilize the global joint defense mecha hunter operation and rush to the battlefield as soon as possible!" Asako Mori looked at the two men with firm eyes and said solemnly: "No matter what,
, there is no way we can let them take over our homes!”
"I will contact Shaw Enterprises and ask them to speed up the production of drone armor immediately, and the military and defense aspects will also start synchronized docking immediately." Marshal Quan said and walked out without any hesitation.
"Holman, you have to cheer up. Nothing has happened yet. You have to show up with courage, okay?!" Asako Mori patted Dr. Holman on the shoulder.
"Don't worry, I'm already trying my best to mediate, and I will work hard!" With the help of Asako Mori, Holman gradually stood up, slowly exhaled a breath, and continued: "In addition, the two previous
Coach, if possible, I would like to communicate with him, can you arrange it?"
"you mean?"
"Don't think wrongly, he and his woman are the most special existences among human beings at present. I want to know whether the source of this power can be replicated. After all, we can't give up any hope, can we?" Holman reluctantly showed a smile.
.
There was helplessness in his eyes, but there was a trace of unparalleled madness in the place Asako Mori couldn't see.
"Okay, I'll contact him right away." After hesitating for a second, Asako Mori said.
…
…
At the same time, in the coach apartment of Hunter College.
Lu Ming, who was standing in front of the window sill and looking into the distance, moved his brows slightly, seeming a little surprised, "It seems to have disappeared."
"Is it because you are too far away and can't feel it?"
Next to her, Li Shiqing, who was looking at the river together, asked.
"no."
Lu Ming shook his head and thought, "The reason why I could feel it when we were eating was because I felt it was looking at me. Otherwise, I would not be able to feel its existence from such a long distance."
"Then what are you doing?"
"The gaze it looked at me has not disappeared, but it is gradually weakening. I was not sure at first, but until just now, its gaze was still looking at me, but it seemed that its power had been drained all of a sudden, and its life was rapidly disappearing.
Passing by, until the final moment of death, it was thrown to look at me."
"...It feels a bit creepy." Listening to his description, Li Shiqing felt a little hairy on her face and felt terrified in her heart.
"This... I have a feeling that I have really become the flesh of Tang Monk." Putting his hand on his chin, Lu Ming showed a hint of humor, vaguely proud of himself, "After all, these unknown beings can still see before they die.
I, Tang Monk, may not have this charm~"
"Can you please give me some peace of mind?" Li Shiqing felt dissatisfied with his lack of fear of danger and couldn't help but reach out and pinch his face.
"It's dangerous, you know?"
"have no idea."
Lu Ming shook his head and said with a smile.
"..."
Li Shiqing looked at him without speaking, and her face gradually became serious, as if she wanted to let him understand the importance of the matter.
Lu Ming looked at her, carefully observing her face, which looked extremely serious.
"Is it fun?"
After an unknown amount of time, facing those clear and serious eyes, Li Shiren felt helpless and bit her lip.
"It's not fun, but I know that if I were to die tomorrow, you would definitely not turn a blind eye to me." Lu Ming put his arm around her waist, lowered his head and touched the tip of her nose, "I don't want to cry to you."
"Huh, huh!"
After taking a deep breath, Li Shiqing patted his face angrily, and after a while, she blew a strand of hair on her forehead and said, "Why did I fall in love with you?"
"Haha." Lu Ming laughed: "I blame you for not wearing glasses."
Li Shiqing laughed angrily and kicked him again.
…
…
Twenty minutes later.
It's still Hunter Academy, in the coach's apartment.
However, there is an extra guest in the room. The guest has sunken eyes, dark brown eye sockets, and heavy bags under his eyes. It can be seen from his face alone that this guest is not in a very good state of mind.
He seems to have a lot of work recently.
On the coffee table, white smoke gradually rose, and the boiling water circulated several times. Lu Ming took two tea cups from the drawer under the coffee table. After filling the two cups, he pushed one cup over.
"You don't seem to be in good spirits. This tea is specially provided by the base. It is said to calm the mind and calm the mind. Do you want to try it?"
"Mr. Lu is at home alone?"
"if not?"
"Where did Miss Li go?"
"This has nothing to do with the doctor. If you don't want to drink tea, why not explain your intention directly and we can end the boring conversation early. After all, I am not very used to being alone with men." Lu Ming said with a smile.
"Then it seems that you are very used to being alone with women, right?"
Holman seemed to want to make a joke and talked about a topic that he thought would make men smile, but the result seemed not as good as expected.
Lu Ming ignored him and just reached out to move the teacup he pushed towards him.
The meaning is self-evident.
He really doesn't like to be alone with men.
"Mr. Lu, as one of the full-time coaches of the Hunter Academy, you have the authority to know some secrets. We have just received some news from the Arctic region. Through analysis, I have concluded that a new wormhole has been opened, and it is expected that there will be more
In seven days, the monster army will come to our world, and then the world will be devastated."
After a pause, Holman looked at Lu Ming, who didn't seem to have much reaction, and continued: "At the moment, we don't have a solution yet."
"So? Did you ask me to fight monsters or something?"
After taking a sip of tea, Lu Ming asked directly.
"When we were in Sydney, we found that Mr. Lu and Miss Li seemed to be a little special. The arrival of the latter two at Hunter Academy confirmed my suspicion. You have physical fitness far beyond ordinary people. One of you can use something similar to a rattan.
The life activity of sharp plants is dozens or hundreds of times that of ordinary people."
"So you still want me to fight monsters?"
"No, even if you are a hundred times and a thousand times stronger than ordinary people, what's the use? Aren't Mecha Hunters such high-tech? What I want to say is that the seventh generation of 'Saber Athena' was completed using
"I've included some of my design elements. I remember that you should have used this mecha in simulation training. Do you still remember the differences between 'Saber Athena' and other mechas?" Holman seemed to have thought.
What glorious deeds he had done, his expression became much more excited, and he even spoke much faster.
"'Saber Athena'... It should be speed. I remember that its speed is unparalleled and it is the fastest among known mechas." Lu Ming quickly gave the answer.
"Yes, you want to know why?"
Holman stood up, nodding his head without waiting for Lu Ming's answer, and excitedly introduced his proud work, "Because I loaded the monster's blood into its thruster, and during my research, I discovered that,
The combination of monster blood and rare elements will produce violent reactions, such as palladium, lan, hydrogen..."
"Wait a minute, you mean to let me cooperate with you in experiments, using my serum to fuse with rare elements or monster serums or something like that."
Lu Ming stretched out his hand to stop the agitated Holman, and asked doubtfully, "Is that what you mean?"
"If you want, we can..."
"I don't want to." Lu Ming refused directly without any hesitation.
What kind of international joke are you kidding?
I came here to help you sort out the civil strife among the doctors. It didn't matter if I didn't send a banner. I also often used the information network to monitor me. That's fine for monitoring. Obviously, I also had to draw blood.
Lu Ming felt that this doctor must have gone crazy and might be on the verge of going dark again.
"Your life activity characteristics are very strong. Even if it cannot produce new wonderful changes, at least it will have a comprehensive effect, allowing the monster serum to be used in more directions, upgrading our mecha power, firepower, artillery shells, and launching
device, ion propulsion...etc."
Holman is still trying to persuade,
"Through their use, we can completely create more advanced mecha hunters!"
"And your girlfriend's...tear it up!...Don't...let it go..."
Holman was breathing hard and waving his hands vigorously in the air, his eyes slightly losing focus.
"Give you ten seconds to get out of here, otherwise I won't guarantee that your head is still on your neck." Lu Ming put down the hand that was holding Holman's neck, and Holman was trembling all over as he looked at him indifferently.
After taking a sharp breath, Holman opened his mouth and was about to say something. Lu Ming spit out the words "7 seconds left." Holman immediately stood up, quickly opened the door and ran out.
Through that cold expression, he had no doubt that if he was really inked for ten seconds, this guy would kill a scientist who had made outstanding contributions to the entire world.
The brief conversation should have made Holman understand that neither identity nor righteousness seemed to be able to sway Lu Ming into cooperating with his experiment.
As Holman left, the door closed a little loudly because of his anxiety. Lu Ming was slightly silent amidst the ripples in the tea cup.
After a while, Lu Ming's eyes were slightly cold, then he picked up the tea cup and stood up, walked to the door, opened the door and looked at the rows of neatly dressed soldiers outside. He looked around and looked at each other in silence.
"Can you help me carry it?"
Lu Ming said to the nearest soldier.
There was no verbal response, only the soldier's slightly shrinking cautious eyes.
"Then I can only help you..."
After the voice fell, the soldier at the door was so fast that his brain had not yet generated a reaction to issue the command. He felt a lightness in his hand, and then heard a kacha sound next to his ear. He tilted his eyes slightly and looked.
