Chapter 371 Nanometal, Proliferation City
Chapter 371 Nanometal, Proliferation City
As the fierce battle between the two Godzillas ended, the earth gradually returned to its former tranquility.
However, the chain reaction caused by the clash between the Red Lotus Dragon and the Hell of Hellfire is still continuing. The upheavals in the Pacific Ocean, the American continent, and the Arctic Ocean have completely changed the layout of the earth's surface, and it is difficult to predict what the future will look like.
Although the coast of the Neon Island was hit by a huge tsunami, the situation in the inland was not very serious. After all, the ecological environment of Planet Godzilla was extremely tenacious. The hard plant roots penetrated into the soil and rock layers and reached the center of the earth, forming a complete three-dimensional network structure. Disasters such as earthquakes would hardly pose much threat to it.
"hu~hu~"
Haruo woke up from the shabby landing ship. When he turned his head and saw the body of Commander-in-Chief Leland with his eyes open, his blank mind suddenly woke up and fragments of memory flooded into his mind.
"Is there anyone else? Is there anyone still alive?" Regardless of the pain all over his body, he struggled to get up and searched around the cabin where the signal light flickered.
Leland beside him was already dead, his neck cut in half by a piece of steel plate that was blown away.
The people in the driver's seat also died in a miserable state, with their limbs all twisted and broken.
"Senior~"
A weak female voice fell into Qingsheng's ears, and his face lit up with joy. He followed the voice and found a short-haired girl in her twenties at the stern of the cabin.
"Yuuko!"
Qingsuo quickly unbuckled the girl's seat belt and checked her body for any obvious injuries. When he saw that she only had some minor skin injuries, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Even though she is disheveled at this moment, it cannot conceal the girl's delicate and gentle face, and her bright eyes reveal tenacity.
Her name is Yuko Tani, and she is a member of the enhanced armored unit, a mecha pilot. She is only 19 years old, and has always secretly loved Haruo and regards him as a role model.
The two continued the rescue, and after confirming that the protective clothing was intact, they opened the cabin door and walked out with seven or eight injured people.
It has to be said that they were extremely lucky, as outside was a valley with excellent terrain, like a natural explosion-proof pit.
In addition to the landing ship they were on, there were three other ships lying in a haphazard pattern in the distance.
There were still five people alive in Birshard, including two officers, Garugu and Lilu.
Medface of Axifor was not injured at all, which made people wonder whether he was really protected by God.
Including the surviving humans, the total number was over fifty, including biologist Martin.
Looking at the remnants of the defeated army, and recalling the mighty force of 600 people when they set out on the expedition, those present fell into a depressing and dull atmosphere. No one spoke, for they knew that no matter how passionate the words were, they could not comfort their deeply frustrated and desperate hearts.
"All the communication equipment is damaged. We can't get in touch with the immigrant ship, and all the vehicles cannot be repaired," Martin said with a wry smile. "We can't go back."
"Why are there two Godzillas? Where did the purple one come from? There doesn't seem to be any record of it in previous documents?" Lilu asked puzzledly.
"Who knows? Anyway, I won't be shocked no matter what happens on this planet." Martin complained.
"We must organize the usable supplies and repair the communication equipment. If we take too long, they will abandon us." Garugu said sternly.
Everyone temporarily set up camp here. Although they were lucky enough to save their lives, the atmosphere became more and more depressing, because the more they understood the current situation, the more they realized how serious the situation was.
Medphis stood up and began to play the role of a priest, indoctrinating the soldiers with chicken soup for the soul. The core ideas were all centered around the god Ixif, saying that the gods have always been watching us, that he has not given up on us, that our survival is the arrangement of fate, and so on.
"Enemy attack!"
Bad things always come in twists and turns. Suddenly, a group of black iron flying dragons flew over the horizon and swooped down with a clear target.
Bang bang bang!
Everyone quickly hid under the landing ship, using it as a shield to avoid being blasted into pieces by the plasma cannon, and then took the opportunity to open fire and fight back.
Fortunately, their guns were equipped with alien technology and were capable of penetrating the dragon's hard armor, so they were not completely at a disadvantage.
However, the Black Iron Flying Dragon seemed to be in a rage, and launched a fierce and fearless attack one after another, forcing everyone to not dare to stick their heads out. They could only watch in despair as the various equipment on the open ground were blown to pieces.
Whoosh whoosh!
Suddenly, slender silver shadows shot up into the air from the surrounding woods.
The silver shadow displayed an inconsistent sharpness and shot through the bodies of the flying dragons with ease.
No matter how stupid the crowd was, they knew they had help, so they quickly opened fire and soon wiped out dozens of flying dragons.
"This is, an arrow?!" Qingsheng approached the corpse of a flying dragon and was immediately shocked.
"How can there be such a sharp arrow? What metal is this?" Martin exclaimed.
Before they could continue thinking, figures walked out of the forest and surrounded everyone in a circle.
His skin was dark brown, and he was dressed like an aboriginal, with only his private parts covered with cloth. His body was painted with mysterious totemic patterns made with some kind of scale powder pigment.
There were both men and women, all of them were in good shape and had very low body fat. Most of them wore masks and held fully drawn bows and arrows pointing at everyone. The arrows were exactly the same as the ones that killed the flying dragon.
Susu~
A pair of twin girls walked out, their slender bodies were well-proportioned, their short hair that transitioned from light blue to dark pink made them look particularly beautiful, and they exuded the temperament of an ancient saint.
The two of them looked at each other and said a few words in the native language to their companions.
Then, having run out of ammunition and food, Haruo and his companions were forced to perform the French salute from the bottom of their hearts due to the disparity in manpower and military strength, and were taken underground by the natives.
……
Here underground, there is a complete tribe. Although it looks very primitive, it already has things like knots.
The area where they live is not disturbed by pollen particles, so they can breathe freely. Haruo and others also closed the masks of their protective suits.
Over the next few days, the natives showed no ill will toward Qingsheng and his companions, and they treated their wounds and provided them with food.
"Where is this taking us?"
"Could it be that they are going to sacrifice us after healing us?"
"This possibility cannot be ruled out."
“I never thought that nearly 20,000 years later, there would still be humans living under Godzilla’s feet.”
Two days later, everyone was escorted to a spacious underground stone temple, where the natives sat cross-legged, waiting for a long time.
The twin girls walked to the front of the hall and placed their palms on the towering stone wall.
And on this stone wall, there are densely packed symbols and characters carved.
hum-
As Haruo and the others watched in disbelief, the stone wall emitted a brilliant, warm golden glow.
Then, a light and holy female voice sounded out of nowhere in everyone's mind, and it spoke the native language that they could all understand.
All they talked about was who they were, where they came from, and what they were doing. They also told them their names, which were Maina and Miana.
Haruo and the others answered truthfully.
When the indigenous people learned that they were going to fight Godzilla, they all said that we are comrades on the same front and we will provide you with the greatest help we can.
"Is this some kind of telepathy? How do they do it?" Martin whispered.
In fact, there is a huge egg hidden behind the glowing stone wall.
Inside is Mothra who has already been reborn and awakened!
After being killed by Godzilla once, how could it dare to break out of its cocoon? What's more, the Planet Godzilla today is completely different from the past. One shot from a charged particle cannon can make it work for nothing for thousands of years.
These indigenous people can be considered as Mothra's servants and followers. Although they have human appearance, their genetic composition is actually quite different from that of humans.
It is also under the protection of Mothra that they have been able to survive in this quiet place until now.
You can call it Mothra.
If we have to ask whether Planet Godzilla knew about it, it was certainly not completely unaware, but it condoned and allowed the existence of the Mothra people.
The premise is that the Mothra people’s technology cannot continue to develop, cannot threaten Planet Godzilla, and cannot provoke it. They can only become a part of the Earth’s ecology.
In this way, Haruo and his party settled down here temporarily.
Garug was curious about the arrows and blades used by the Mothra people. What kind of metal could easily cause damage to a flying dragon?
The most important thing is that he feels that this metal is very familiar. "Could it be?"
The Mothra people were also very generous and immediately took them to a stone chamber.
There was only a stone table inside, on which a large piece of silver metal was placed alone.
"Look." Mayina, who had already learned human language, took out a wooden arrow and placed the arrowhead on the metal object.
A magical thing happened. The arrow was quickly covered with a layer of silver and in the blink of an eye it was completely transformed into a silver metal arrow.
"This is nanometal!" Garug explained excitedly, "In order to repair itself, nanometal can fuse with the surrounding matter at the molecular level and replicate itself. This sample is multiplying abnormally fast. It is probably because it has been too long and the proliferation limiter we installed has malfunctioned."
This news undoubtedly gave everyone hope.
Maina told them that the nanometal was collected in a valley under a mountain, and there were more of them there.
"The former Mount Fuji base was where Mechagodzilla was built!" Lilu shouted in surprise.
"Take us there quickly!" Garugu, a research and development engineer at Jige, didn't want to wait even a minute longer.
Led by the twins, the group headed towards Mount Fuji.
After passing through a canyon, the view suddenly opened up, but the sky was covered with a thick layer of dark gray fog.
"Come quickly!" Yuko, who was standing on the edge of the cliff, shouted in surprise.
"Oh my God, what's this?" Martin's eyes widened instantly as he looked down.
"Nanometal! It's all nanometal!" Lilu laughed excitedly.
In the valley, there is a city made entirely of metal!
The buildings are rationally laid out, and the multi-story bridges divide the areas into extremely detailed sections. Although there is no green landscape, the overall look exudes a cold, geometric and harmonious beauty.
These buildings evolved from Mechagodzilla's original parts, and their size has increased hundreds of times. They are rooted underground and closely connected.
"Mechagodzilla is not dead, it just survived in a different form," Garugo said with tears in his eyes, "The fog in the sky is not real, but nano-metal particles used for hiding, which has a similar effect to optical camouflage at high altitudes. It hides here perfectly and continues to develop. If there were no Godzilla outside, I'm afraid it would have occupied the entire earth long ago! This is an infinitely expanding and proliferating city!"
The group headed towards the city and found many corpses of black iron flying dragons on the ground outside. They were pierced by spikes made of nanometal and were assimilated into nanometal after death.
"Will we also be swallowed and assimilated?" Martin asked worriedly.
"Don't worry," Lilu said proudly, "It will devour them because it is following the order to [defeat Godzilla]. It is essentially a technological creation made of metal. Even though more than ten thousand years have passed, the instructions set at the time are still running."
"With such a large quantity, can't we make another Mechagodzilla?" Haruo asked.
"Yes, but since we have evolved this proliferation city, we should change our strategy to minimize the losses," Garugu replied.
In this way, after 19,000 years, Birshald awakened this living city and regained control.
Everyone began to deploy a long-term combat plan.
"Everyone, as long as we have enough time, we will definitely win, and even destroy that purple Godzilla!" Garugu smiled confidently.
Next, they contacted the immigrant ship through the proliferation city.
After learning about the situation on Earth, the top leaders of the committee were collectively forced to remain silent. A small one died, a big one appeared, and another inexplicable one popped up. No wonder the Earth was almost on the verge of death.
It’s better not to stay on this earth!
But Haruo immediately tells him about the Proliferation City.
After listening to Garugu's bright and clear explanation, the captain and others immediately changed their sad expressions and looked expectant.
Afterwards, the immigration ship sent more than 500 people down, providing a large amount of manpower and material support. As for the others who are still living on the immigration ship, they definitely cannot put all their eggs in one basket.
……
Two years later.
In order not to attract the attention of the two Godzillas and to gain more development opportunities in more time, the proliferation city did not expand its area blindly.
Garugu's policy is to continuously upgrade urban facilities, diversify and enhance the comprehensive combat effectiveness of the city, and follow the principle of "better to have less than too much".
The buildings are all brand new, with countless turrets standing tall and a wide variety of weapons hidden. The proliferating cities are like connected military fortresses.
Whoosh whoosh!
One after another, 30-meter-high silver-white mechas flew in the air, completed a series of difficult maneuvers, and then returned to the standby warehouse in an orderly manner.
Haruo, Yuko and others walked out of the cockpit.
"How about the latest generation of vulture mecha?" Lilu asked with a smile.
"The operation is smoother, and the heat resistance of the weapons has been improved. I'm still a little bit used to the new intelligent assistance system, but overall it's a huge improvement." Haruo replied. He looked at the hundreds of mechas made of nanometal in the warehouse. His confidence grew day by day, and his hatred for Godzilla did not diminish in the slightest.
"Fortunately, neither Godzilla showed up, which gave us enough time to develop rapidly." Lilu said with relief.
"Senior, we agreed that you would go to the movies with me this afternoon~" Yuko said as she took the initiative to hold Haruo's hand.
"Okay, of course I didn't forget." Haruo replied lovingly, pulling Yuko out of the warehouse.
The two confirmed their relationship half a year ago and became lovers.
During these two years, they have conducted aerial reconnaissance of the world and have already observed the purple crystal ecology in the other hemisphere. Based on the feedback from the immigrant ships and on-site inspections in the Americas, they have concluded that both Godzillas are recuperating.
Everyone must seize this God-given opportunity of "while the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman gains", and by then they must eliminate both Godzillas and take back the earth.
Call ~
On top of the tallest building in the city, Medface stood tall and alone.
He looked down at the developed and proliferating city with indifferent eyes and spread out his right palm.
There was a coin-like metal object inside, with an irregular pattern similar to a hexagram carved on the front.
"Harusei~"
A pious smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, as if he had seen something beautiful.
With the help of nano-metal devices, this extremely important key prop was successfully repaired, and we can finally get a glimpse of the majestic figure of God again!
