Chapter 511 - 511 The First-Generation Mech Is Still Lacking
511 The First-Generation Mech Is Still Lacking
Zero was supposed to face one sea monster at a time, but now it had to deal with three sea monsters simultaneously. It was dangerous, and its chances of winning were slim.
However, no matter what, Zero had to face this battle bravely. It carried the mission of protecting Shannan.
Wu Mo was standing on top of the tallest building in Shannan and looking ahead through his binoculars.
Dark clouds rolled and the storm raged. At this point, the three sea monsters were only five hundred meters away. The situation was critical.
Finally, Zero arrived at the coast. The red cloth that covered it was removed to reveal its mighty figure.
As Zero gradually stood up, a slight sound of rotation came from its wheels and components.
Its heavy steps shook the earth and the hearts of everyone present.
The people widened their eyes as they watched Zero’s back gradually fade away. Finally, it stepped into the raging sea.
The brave Zero faced the terrifying sea monster in the storm and kept moving forward.
This scene moved many people, while Wu Mo had mixed feelings about it.
Zero was the result of his research, and it was like his own child.
He felt as if he was watching his child entering the battlefield and shouldering an arduous mission while he was powerless.
Wu Mo thought to himself, ‘If we manage to develop more battle mechs or even fuse the human nervous system and mech control system, then the sea monsters will no longer be terrifying.’
However, Zero’s birth had consumed a huge amount of resources, which led Huayang Heavy Industries to suffer heavy losses.
If he wanted to develop more than one mech, the cost would be even more shocking.
Zero’s appearance alerted the three sea monsters.
However, these sea monsters were clearly smarter than the wolfhound monster from before. They immediately realized that this was a weapon of war specially designed by humans to target them!
Roar!
The ferocious tiger monster charged forward first and broke through the waves. Its huge claws held terrifying power and pressure.
Zero immediately accepted the challenge. Being under human control, it extended its steel arm and slammed it forward!
Boom!
In an instant, the tiger monster’s claws collided with Zero’s steel arm.
Everyone stared nervously at the screen to see the outcome of this battle.
Even Wu Mo could not help but feel nervous. Zero was facing a real test now. Could it withstand such huge pressure?
Zero exchanged blows with the tiger monster, and both took a few steps back.
Zero was equipped with a counter-attack defense device. When it faced an attack that was above its level, it would automatically enter a defensive position.
This did not require human control. Instead, it was part of a pre-set smart system!
At this moment, Zero activated the system and spread out its arms. The mechanisms on them were like iron shields.
Bang!
Just then, a black laser shot over from afar. It came from the round meatball.
However, the laser beam hit Zero’s iron shields, so it was useless.
“Ah!” the people who witnessed this scene exclaimed.
It turned out that the seemingly harmless meatball could actually release such a terrifying laser!
Zero’s arms had many mechanisms, which caught them off guard. How many secrets did it hide?
At this moment, the third sea monster charged toward Zero.
It was highly intelligent. Seeing that Zero could fight two monsters at once, it understood that the three of them had to work together to destroy the human’s killing machine!
This sea monster had a strong defense, but its attack was weak, so it only waved its claws and smashed them randomly.
Its attack power was weaker than that of the tiger monster, so it still could not break through Zero’s defense.
“Wu Mo, Zero has fallen into a defensive position. Is it doomed to lose this fight?”
The old chief could not suppress his worries as he contacted Wu Mo nervously.
Wu Mo pondered for a short while and replied, “Chief, let’s observe the changes in the battle. As long as Zero withstands the fierce attacks from these three sea monsters, it will be able to find an opportunity to defeat them one by one!”
“That’s true! We can only do this step by step!”
The old chief nodded. At this juncture, there was no other way.
They had to immediately contact the front line and deploy weapons with high-density firepower on both sides. They also had to be ready to cover Zero at any time and help it defeat the sea monster!
Right then, the media had been cleared, so footage could not be transmitted to the audience around the world.
However, those on the periphery could vaguely see the fierce battle between several giant shadows on the surface of the ocean. They just could not spot the details.
Meanwhile, the local livestream viewers enjoyed a great feast for their eyes!
Although they were hundreds of meters away, the actions and even the expressions of these behemoths were vivid.
“Look! The tiger’s attacking again! Why is the word on its forehead even more distinct now?”
Finally, someone noticed the strange phenomenon. The word, “king,” on the tiger’s forehead was emanating a bloody aura.
This blood-red color signified slaughter and brutality. As such, an ominous feeling began to fill everyone’s hearts.
Sure enough, the ferocious tiger monster confirmed everyone’s suspicions. It suddenly opened its mouth and bit down on Zero’s steel arm.
Squeak squeak squeak!
The tiger gritted its teeth and tried to bite Zero’s arm off.
It was obvious that the force of its bite was extremely terrifying. Its teeth had a tight grip on Zero’s arm, and the sound of friction that followed the bite made Wu Mo’s expression change.
“I don’t think so! Zero’s arm is made of a special material. It’s harder and tougher than the shell!”
Wu Mo remembered that he had considered all possibilities when he created Zero’s arms.
The arms were the key to a battle, and most of Zero’s ultimate skills were concentrated there. How could they be broken so easily?
There was no doubt that the ferocious tiger monster could not bite off Zero’s arm for the time being. It revealed a confused expression in response.
Thanks to its fearsome bite, it had been invincible in its world on the other side of the wormhole. Hence, it never thought that it would fail to bite through a steel mech in this world.
While it was confused, Zero quickly waved its other hand. A white blade tore through the air and stabbed the tiger monster’s neck.
Roar!
The tiger let out an earth-shattering howl, and huge waves rose on the water’s surface. They surged wildly amid its roar.
“Hahaha, Zero is amazing! The ferocious tiger monster has been fatally injured by its attack. It’s probably on the verge of death! Zero can now defeat them one by one!” an officer could not help but shout excitedly.
However, only Wu Mo understood that it was still too early to celebrate.
He stared at the ferocious tiger monster and found that it did not show any signs of weakness after its neck was injured. Instead, it became more violent.
Obviously, its weakness was not its neck, but the “mark” on its forehead.
In other words, Zero had made an error in judgment, so it needed to retreat quickly.
That was because the round meatball had already shot out several black lasers in a row, and the humanoid sea monster with the steel helmet was rapidly approaching.
At this moment, Zero suddenly opened its mouth and spat out a stream of reddish-orange flames.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The flames erupted out of nowhere and scared the humanoid sea monster into retreating.
The temperature of the flames was extremely high. It was formed by burning special materials and could last for a long time in battle. Its power should not be underestimated.
Yet, for some reason, Wu Mo’s eyelids twitched, and he had a bad feeling about Zero’s survival.
“This first-generation battle mech is still not perfect enough!” Wu Mo suddenly exclaimed.
At this moment, he made a firm decision in his heart.
The current battle situation had forced him to do so. He needed to develop a more powerful mech!
He would continue to upgrade Zero’s foundation and create one super-strong mech after another. He would completely conquer the sea monsters.
