Chapter 22 Human Enemy

The ladder, or the ladder of the sky, is just a common name for folks. Its official name is "Linear Super Electromagnetic Projection Device". gun module.

It was originally a weapon designed to be used in space, but because of the sudden appearance of gastrulae, human beings have no choice but to fall into the quagmire of war, and they are unable to even take care of defense, let alone a space program.Although the ladder had been completed at that time, it was not even in time for the test firing. Because of the total defeat of the human front, it was forced to be abandoned together with the position. It can be said that it was a super huge weapon that witnessed the day of defeat!

But now that Scorpio is attacking, Rantaro must use this weapon that symbolizes defeat to pursue victory!

"If there is still a weapon in the world that can hit stage five gastrula animals, then the ladder is the only possibility!" Tentong Kisara's voice accurately reached Rantaro's ears through the phone's microphone: "There is no time left, You are the closest group of police officers, you can only do it, Rantaro, the world is in your hands!"

"I'm honored!...Although I want to say that, I'm just a salary-earning policeman. I'm still a newcomer outside the 12 ranking. Is it really good to leave this kind of big thing to me?" Rantaro couldn't help but complain. .

"If you complete the task, then your ranking will also rise! Do you feel much better when you think about it like this?" Tentong even joked, and then said seriously: "Run, Rantaro, you are already us. The last hope!"

"I'm running, I'm already running desperately!" Rantaro said panting.He and Yanzhu hurried on the mountain road, and Yingluo followed leisurely with Xiaobina in his arms. Although he really wanted to ask the god-sama to take action, it was obvious from the appearance of the other party that he did not care much about the safety of human beings. Rantaro It simply gave up the idea of ​​asking for help.

With his efforts, he can already see the white wall surrounded by barbed wire around the ladder. It seems to be using all his strength to show the majesty that is thousands of miles away from people, but the designers at that time obviously did not consider the impact of The existence of the Son of the Damned.

Speaking of which, the cursed child and the native animal appeared almost at the same time. I am afraid that the designers at that time did not know that there would be a group of superman-like little loli in the world!

The bunny-shaped girl easily jumped over the wall with Rantaro in a princess hug. Although she was a little ashamed, it seemed that this was not the time to consider these details.

The two saw the entire facility in the air for a split second.Under the support of countless pillars, there is a circular object with a diameter of about [-] meters at the bottom of the ladder and beside it, which is probably some kind of device for storing electricity.

However, compared to the grand railgun module, the adjacent research facility was not as large as the Gouda High School building where Rentaro lived.

Rantaro glanced at the interior map of the facility transmitted to his mobile phone, and immediately understood the mystery.

The facilities extend underground like ant nests, and the buildings that are exposed on the surface are just the tip of the iceberg.

The room they were looking for was on the second basement floor, and Rantaro came to the central computer room out of breath under the guidance of the map and Kisara.

The interior of the dome structure is very open, with computers placed all over the place.The huge curved EL display unfolded right in front of them, amazingly spotless after a decade of abandonment, as if it had only been cleaned.

Rantaro used all his strength and flew to the central control panel of the elevator as if he was colliding. He pulled out the external terminal and plugged it into his mobile phone. He was then asked to enter a [-]-digit operating password.Just as Rantaro was about to ask, Tentong Mu gave a clear set of numbers.

She could hear the subtle voices of other people behind her. Maybe Ms. Mugeng was appointed as the battle leader in the chaos?But when all hope is placed on a high school girl at this critical moment, should the bureaucrats be said to be extremely bold, or are they looking for an escape route for foreseeable failure?

Rantaro didn't want to think too much.

The password was easily passed, and then the green progress bar was read, the connection was completed, and the data transmission between the ladder and the headquarters began.

"There is no abnormality in the power supply of the unmanned substation buried in the ground, no abnormality in the power grid, and no abnormality in the Dewar bottle used to store liquid helium... OK! Well done, Rantaro-san, the rest of the launch steps will be handled by us. Let's do it." Tiantong Mugeng's voice showed a hint of excitement.

Rantaro felt uneasy while the other party grasped the state of the facility.

Mu Geng's voice was not too clear, and the progress bar transmitted to the headquarters walked very slowly.At first, I thought it was because the amount of data was too large, but it seemed to be a problem with the radio wave condition.However, why is this, the satellite signal on the mobile phone is obviously full, and Rantaro can't find the reason why the data exchange is so slow.

He suddenly had a bad feeling that if the connection with the headquarters is interrupted now, everything will be over!

Compared to Rantaro's apprehension, Yingluo was looking at the room full of technology with a relaxed expression.The purpose of her coming here is to find out the traces of the third-party gods, and saving Rantaro is just a matter of convenience.If everything is as Athena speculates, the other party will definitely not let the hard-built balance break, Scorpio will definitely be eliminated "for granted", and the ladder is the best carrier to achieve this result.

At present, it is impossible to let the other party take a shot. Although Scorpio is powerful, in the eyes of True God, it is at best a kind of beast, and it is far from a threat.At that time, eleven gastrula creatures of stage five were sent directly to sleep by her, and now there is only one, and it is estimated that even a wave cannot be turned up in front of her.

What she is most likely to do is to change the information to take a bunch of BUFFs such as "must hit", "increase damage" and "ignore armor" on the ladder, and use the hands of humans to solve this crisis.

With unremitting efforts, a miraculous victory was finally born... People have always been fond of such routines.

The reason why Ying Luo followed was to capture the fluctuations when the other party modified the information and find the other party's hiding place.Although the more direct and effective way is to let her take the shot and directly smash the ladder to make the other party show up, it is only the reason for the position and values. It becomes a character... No, it's a matter of divine character.

In fact, even as a human being, Yingluo would not easily destroy the other party's efforts.Even as a generation of swordsmen, she would not rely on force to eat and drink on the street for free. After all, those small businesses are also people's efforts to survive and deserve respect, just like what Rantaro and others are doing now.

Yingluo really didn't like the humans in this world, and even hated some of their practices, but if he wanted to clear it out of hatred, then there would be nothing left in the entire void.

"Come on, you have no choice, don't you?" Yingluo muttered to himself.The attack of Scorpio has become a stage for the game between the two gods. Now Yingluo is the one who takes the initiative. She doesn't have to do anything, and the other party must show her cards.From this point of view, Yingluo should really be grateful to the human beings. On the surface, he attracted Scorpio by killing him, but secretly he forced a god to the edge of the cliff. This achievement is also enough to be proud of.

At this moment, a warning light came on in the central computer room, and the synthetic voice of a woman resounded throughout the facility.

"From now on, start the linear super-electromagnetic projection device. The staff located at the connection part of the superconducting flywheel power storage system, please evacuate immediately. Step, enter the first stage, and now start filling energy."

The right end of the display shows a circular counter indicating the fill rate.

Untouched touchscreen images are tapped and moved at dizzying speed because the headquarters is operating remotely.

What resembled a joystick hidden on the console suddenly stood up, and was then pulled forward by an invisible hand and pushed back again. The rhythmic movement was like changing the car. Just like blocking, Yingluo has the idea of ​​"playing".

Rantaro swallowed his saliva, and he could imagine the fiery operation scene on Tentong Kisara's side. Now he realized that this was neither a lie nor a joke, but a real life-or-death moment. The next blow would decide Tokyo. The survival of the region!

There was a sudden shock inside the facility, and even the ground shook. Rentaro and Lanyuan Yanzhu hurriedly supported the wall to stabilize their figure.

Looking at the image that was switched to the front monitor, I saw that the base of the "Ladder to the Sky" fixed at an elevation angle of [-] degrees moved with difficulty while making a roaring sound.The moss and vines that covered it were torn apart under the force of the machine, crackling and scattered, revealing the huge rusted bearing below.

Humans who have lost 80% of their resources are simply unable to perform daily maintenance on the ladder. This machine, which has been left out in the wind and rain for 10 years, is like a heavy old man, coughing and moving slowly.

But the slowness is just a visual illusion caused by its huge size. Its movements are much faster than it looks. After a while, the track that was originally going straight to the sky became parallel to the ground, and then it was installed on two giant The tripod under the track was ejected, and a total of six "feet" slammed into the ground with terrifying speed and force, chiseled the ground, flattened a small hill, and stopped, which was laid to prevent the reaction force of the shot. claws.

"Switch to online mode with satellite connection info! 'CYCLOPS' system activated! Main display shows target impact!"

The front of the three-sided display was switched over immediately, and the enlarged image on it could be seen. Although the actual distance was more than [-] kilometers, Rentaro still felt a sense of unease and trembling from his soul!

The appearance of Scorpio is clearly presented in front of everyone. The dark brown cracked skin is covered with pimples like smallpox, and there are raised objects on the pimples, a total of eight sickles with barbs. Alien-shaped objects broke out from the neck, head, right eye, etc., and stretched all around.

The subject's head is abnormally large, and a beak-like curved object emerges suddenly from the corner of the mouth.The only remaining left eye is pitifully small.

What was displayed on the screen was a terrifying giant that walked in the sea on both feet!

If scaled, the giant reaches a monstrous 400 meters tall.While peeling the seawater forward, it impatiently swiped away the missiles flying through the night sky with its sickle-shaped tentacles. Although the bursting flames evaporated the surrounding seawater, it could not be seen to suffer any obvious damage.

Conventional weapons are powerless, and no matter how many troops are dispatched, it will only be a waste of death... Rantaro clearly realized this, and even had the idea of ​​​​running in his heart.In fact, the military has received reports of a large number of deserters, but whether it is the Son of Heaven, ministers or generals, they are not surprised at all, because they have the same idea!

This is the natural enemy of mankind!

Chapter 23 Sudden Change

Hirimi Rantaro, Aihara Enju and Hiruko Xiaobina stared at the screen in cold sweat, Scorpio's terrifying appearance is an incomparably powerful fighting force.They can clearly see through the pictures that the super-sized gastrulae that invaded Tokyo Bay are being violently attacked, missiles and torpedoes are fired in salvos, and even poisonous gas bombs that are inhumane are used!

Missiles and torpedoes deal only minor damage to it and regenerate in a split second.The poison gas bomb uses VX poison gas, which is said to kill all living things, but Scorpio analyzes the composition of the poison gas inhaled in just a few seconds, and produces antibodies in the body.

According to Tiantong Mugeng's previous explanation, all conventional attacks have lost their meaning in front of the Scorpio in Stage 10. The only way to kill it is to drive a metal shell into the opponent's head and blow up his brain directly. Okay, and it all depends on this [-]-year-old machine.

Compared with the nervousness of the three, Yingluo observed Scorpio with great interest. It was the first time she had seen a weapon made with a biological template as the restraint force. Probably because of inhumanity, the restraint force did not take into account human beings at all. Aesthetics, so its works this time focus on one word: ugly!

If it is said that the genetic factors of a single species are only huge at the beginning, which is still within an acceptable range, then as these gastrulaes absorb the genetic factors of more species, they gradually evolve from a low-level stage to a high-level stage at the same time. , they have not only gained powerful combat power, but also have an indescribably strange appearance, which can make people mad at SAN just by looking at them.

"So this time, the inhibition force has created a bunch of weird weapons that 'the uglier the stronger'?" Yingluo twitched the corners of his mouth, looked at the Scorpio on the screen, and said helplessly: "Ugly like this, what should be contained in the body? How many kinds of biological genes!"

(What stage are you in front of the screen?)

At the same time, the artificial female voice synthesized by the computer sounded again: "The target is locked, the weapon is charging, there are still 11 seconds before firing, 10...9...8..."

"Rantaro, everything that can be done has been done!" Tentong Kisara's voice was weak, and she must have been under great pressure.

"It's hard work, Sister Mugeng." Rantaro clenched Lanyuan Yanzhu's hand, let out a long sigh, and said softly, "Now the rest...probably only prayers!"

The sky ladder is more than 50 kilometers away from the Scorpio. In this world, as long as it can hit a target 1000 meters away, it is enough to be called an absolute sniper. Even if a supercomputer is used to correct the trajectory, there is no guarantee of a 100% hit rate. .Wind, gravity, tides, and even the rotation of the earth will affect the result. An error of tens of digits after the decimal point is enough to make the bullet deviate by a hundred meters.

Rantaro looked at the energy icon in the upper right corner. The sluggish column sign also indicated that they had no chance to fire a second shot. After all, it was something from ten years ago, and being able to use it was a miracle in itself. Too demanding.

The artificial female voice's countdown continued: "7...6...5..."

The corner of Yingluo's mouth showed a smile. She had clearly felt the fluctuations in the information modification. The cannonballs of the ladder were given the results of "must hit" and "break the armor", which was undoubtedly the handwriting of a third-party god.

It seemed that the opponent had no choice but to take action at the last moment. By tracing the source of information in reverse, the opponent's position was accurately mapped in Yingluo's mind, just above the height of [-] meters.

It was pointless to stay here any longer. Yingluo disappeared from the spot, and the next moment, she appeared at an altitude of [-] meters. Not far in front of her, it was the long-haired girl who looked a little like her.

Neither of them spoke, but focused on the results below.Yingluo, as the one who asks for others, can only wait with peace of mind in order to show his goodwill. Fortunately, it is not too long before the fire starts, so there is no need to worry.

"4...3...2..." Just when the result was about to be born, the artificial female voice suddenly got stuck, made a few rustling sounds, and then the red light turned on, and said in a dull tone: "The target is lost, start to correct it again. !"

Target lost?Rantaro was stunned for a moment. The huge Scorpio on the screen was slowly advancing under the fire. No matter how you looked at it, it had nothing to do with the word "lost", right?

Tiantong Mugeng's voice sounded from the mobile phone, revealing an eagerness: "Lantaro, what happened over there, why did our connection with the ladder suddenly cut off?"

"Contact... Interrupted?" Rantaro looked at the constantly changing numbers on the screen and the joystick that moved on his own, and his forehead was instantly covered in cold sweat: "If it wasn't for your side, who is controlling the ladder now!? "

"Di, the target has been re-locked!"

Rantaro raised his head, the picture on the screen made his face pale, there was no Scorpio at all, but the former outer area, which is now the fairyland!

The light blue transparent barrier emits fluorescence under the night, and you can see the towering palace and the gurgling water behind it. Everything is still so quiet and peaceful, but after a few seconds, it will turn into a scorched earth!

There are tens of thousands of children out there!

Rantaro hurriedly stepped forward and pulled the joystick, but humans alone can't fight against machines.Although it is a human creation, it has disobeyed its creator. In terms of rebellion and arrogance, this machine is exactly the same as a human being!

"Damn, stop for me, your goal is wrong!" Rantaro shouted loudly.

But the artificial female voice was unmoved: "Shoot!"

The dazzling light pierced the night sky, like a newborn sun, a powerful electric current poured into the orbit as long as [-] kilometers, making a crackling sound. Under the action of the magnetic field, a cannonball with a diameter of [-] mm traveled at sub-light speed. It shot out, and it didn't even use a thousandth of a second, and it hit the barrier of the fairyland!

The strong light erupted again, as if it had burst a bubble, and the barrier shattered.According to reason, mortal cannonballs can never break through the barrier set up by Athena, but this cannonball was given the result of neutralizing and breaking armor by another god. Compared with the strongest spear, the indestructible shield is more expensive than the spear. better, so this result is not surprising.

In the next second, Athena was wearing a divine garment to block the cannonball. She held the shield of Aegis and firmly resisted the cannonball.But as soon as they fought, she was caught off guard. The energy contained in the shells was very strange. The energy of chaos and order were intertwined with each other. Instead, they produced unimaginable power like nuclear fusion. Can't stop feeling.

The concept of hitting and breaking armor was consumed when the barrier was shattered. It wasn't that Athena couldn't dodge, but she didn't, because there were tens of thousands of children behind her.

Unlike other Greek Protoss, Athena attaches great importance to commitment. Since she has become the patron saint of children, she will definitely protect it to the end, just like she protected Athens back then!

Under the tremendous pressure, Athena also burst into strength, golden light rose from her body, the skirt armor of the divine garment dragged to the ground, and the wings behind her covered the sky.The angle of the shield of Aegis turned slightly, and the cannonball and the shield made an unpleasant friction sound, and flew into the sky, passed through the clouds, and entered the universe.

The light dimmed, Athena fell to the ground, her face full of pain, and part of the foreign energy entered her body. If it was a victory period, this level of fighting would not be enough to hurt her, but she is pregnant now.Although the god's body was extremely strong, but under the attack of another god, he couldn't retreat, and there was a sharp pain in the stomach, and cold sweat fell from her slender chin.

"Mommy mommy!"

Hope and the future ran over, with an anxious expression about to cry, and they were in a hurry and didn't know what to do.

"Didn't I tell you to go back to the house to rest? Why... came out?" Athena asked with a smile.

"Mom is already like this, how can we still sleep!" There were tears in the eyes of the future, and Hope had been crying a long time ago.

"It's really disobedient." She said so, but Athena didn't mean to be angry. This kind of heartfelt concern made her very happy.She stood up with the help of the two girls, looked up at the sky, Yingluo and the god were in full swing, and now they seemed to be evenly matched, so she didn't need to worry too much.

"It will take five or six minutes to open the barrier again, Matsuzaki, during this period, those uninvited guests will be handed over to you!" Athena said, and began to rebuild the barrier, which could have been done in an instant, but in It becomes very difficult under the interference of external energy.The five or six minutes Athena said was the result of her giving up healing herself and letting the external energy destroy her body.

"Please rest assured, even if I die, I will buy you the time you need!" Although Matsuzaki was given young and healthy internal organs by Athena, he still looked like an old man. There are all kinds of weapons, long guns and short cannons. He looks at a rotary machine gun on his shoulder, and walks outside like a terminator. There are countless figures flickering there, and occasionally he can see the light spots emitted by the infrared sight, which seem to be on the way. A heavily armed force was about to storm in.

Matsuzaki was stopped, Kanzaki Zidian was standing in front of him, and behind her, there were nearly a hundred figures, all of them were former policemen, or the part with the highest IP ranking.

"Although the previous life was not pleasant, thanks to it, we are particularly good at fighting." Kanzaki Zidian said: "You can also understand that although we yearn for a peaceful life, sometimes, people like us are always inexplicable. itchy hands."
