"This is a regenerative alien beast, codenamed Northfield. It has powerful regenerative abilities."
"Regeneration ability? What exactly is it like?"
The Night Raid team members were already used to the fact that the assistant officer knew the abilities of each alien beast in detail. As long as the assistant officer was there, every battle they fought was equivalent to fighting a known enemy.
"Nosfield is a special life form. Even if its main body is destroyed, as long as some of its flesh remains, it can split and reproduce, and aggregate into a new complete life form in a short period of time. Therefore, ordinary weapons can only severely damage it, but cannot truly destroy it. In particular, the regenerative cells in its mouth are particularly vigorous, and it can be reborn as long as a few cells remain."
Rebirth through a drop of blood, even with just a few cells invisible to the naked eye, they can multiply in large numbers in a short period of time to form new individuals.
It doesn't seem like a complete living organism, but more like an aggregated living organism.
Just like ants, the entire ant colony of countless ants has a unified mind, and each ant is just a part of the machine. Even if most of the ants are killed, the colony will reproduce and soon form another ant colony. Its oral cavity is equivalent to the queen ant.
This is a really troublesome enemy. He Cang is in a dilemma. He can only injure it but cannot kill it. Alien beasts are not human beings. Human beings will be afraid after being injured and will give up attacking because of the pain. But alien beasts will not. After being severely injured again and again, they will definitely come back again and again.
There is only one way for the severely injured alien beast to recover: eat humans. Human fear is their best nutrition.
Hitting it again and again will only result in more people being attacked.
"Any suggestions, Assistant Officer?"
"In theory, there are three ways to deal with Northfield."
"One is the extreme high temperature. Covering Northfield's entire body in the high temperature of a star core will burn him completely."
"Star core?" After thinking about it, He Cang Shao immediately understood what the assistant officer meant, "Nuclear bomb?"
"Yes, a hydrogen bomb. In a nuclear fusion environment, the temperature can briefly reach fifty times that of the center of the sun, which can completely inactivate the cells of the alien beast. One hydrogen bomb is enough to destroy this alien beast."
This "is enough" seems a bit of an understatement. However, although it is Reiya's image, the person standing here is actually the mastermind of the Lost Battleship, Kainaer. She knows human emotions, but sometimes she can be cold as a machine.
Moreover, being able to destroy the enemy with hydrogen bombs is optimistic enough. There are many darknesses facing mankind that nuclear weapons cannot even help.
"We'll discuss the nuclear bomb option later. What about other methods?"
"The next one is the Light Giant Nexus. According to data analysis, the skill Cascading Storm that the Giant once used has a strong ability to kill cells, which is also enough to destroy the alien beasts."
So if nuclear bombs don’t work, we can only turn to Nexus?
It is still unclear whether the giants will appear. Is there nothing the Night Raid Team can do?
"The third method is to use the Ultra Armor. The Specium Ray of the first generation armor is also a special ray that has a strong killing power on cells. There is a certain chance that it can destroy the alien beast."
"Just 'odds'?"
"Yes."
After all, the Ultra Armor is not the original one. If it were the original one, it would certainly be able to destroy Northfield, and the armor is just a simulated equipment. Even a fourth-level civilization like Kainar cannot create a true giant of light.
Being able to imitate a similar effect is amazing enough.
The output power of the first generation armor is about 40% of the normal power of the first generation itself.
"Understood. Mizoroki, take the Ultra Armors of Saijo, Himeya and the others. Hiraki, Ishihori, we will drive the Eagle to the target location."
The Chrome Chester fighter was temporarily out of service, and the entire machine was inspected and its systems modified. The Eagle, which was originally used for research, was exchanged for a weapon for actual combat.
"The first generation armor, Taro armor, what about Ace armor?"
"No need." Hekura said, "I don't think Komon is in a good enough condition to fight now."
Giving weapons to a person without fighting spirit will only cause trouble.
"But Captain," Goroki hesitated. He used to be a standard soldier and never disobeyed the orders of his superiors. This was the first time he expressed objection.
"I think Gu Men should need strength at some point."
"Sometimes? You mean as a member of the Night Raid?"
"What I want to say is, as a man."
Hiraki Shiori chuckled and muttered "male chauvinism."
Hekura didn't laugh, he was just a little surprised. He didn't expect that Goroki would say such things.
But Goroki was serious. He didn't think Komon would never recover. The Komon Ikki he knew was a seemingly fragile person who always kept things to himself. But the real Komon was much braver than the fearful Komon. Most importantly, Komon knew what he really wanted.
"Okay, I understand. Then bring the Ace armor with you."
Kazukura compromised, and the group walked towards the hangar, which was a specially expanded hangar to accommodate the storage and take-off and landing of the Eagle.
"By the way, this plane is really big."
Compared to the Chrome Chester, which is less than 10 meters long, the 210-meter Eagle is a completely incomparable behemoth. The size of an aircraft carrier in the sea is also about this size.
An aircraft carrier flying in the sky looked like a science fiction movie even to the Night Raid Team.
"This is not an airplane, it's an air fortress," Ishihori corrected. He really liked this kind of large machine. A man's romance.
Apart from the power system of the Eagle itself, it is a weapon rack. The platform above is universal and can carry almost any type of weapon.
Its cockpit can only accommodate 6 people, which is much smaller than the bridge of an aircraft carrier. And what really occupies the entire layout of its 210-meter-long fuselage is the ammunition storage that is almost equivalent to a fortress. This is a real ammunition depot.
In the past international battlefields, it was enough to support a city-state level war.
When the Eagle was flying in battle with the TAC team, it never had to withdraw from the battle due to running out of ammunition unless it was destroyed.
The fortress can be penetrated, but the weapons are always sufficient.
Wakura, Hiraki, and Ishihori sat in the cockpit, while Mizoroki was in the back of the cabin.
The Eagle has no cabin for people to sit in, but Goroki wearing the Seven Armor does not need a cabin. With the armor on, he is a humanoid weapon. The Ultra Armor itself can adapt to harsh environments, keep warm and provide oxygen, so it is fine to stay in the armory, and there is no need for the plane to land, and it doesn't matter if it is fired as a cannonball.
Human cannon, level 1 preparation!
Despite its huge weight and massive fuselage, the Eagle can reach a speed of Mach 6.6, which is faster than the Chrome Chester α, β, and γ. It has an unreasonable speed and unparalleled black technology.
Second only to the super-fast Chrome Chester Delta's Mach 7.
The impact of a 12-meter aircraft flying at Mach 7 and a 210-meter sky fortress flying at Mach 6.6 are naturally completely different.
The aircraft was equipped with a stealth coating, but the effect was not very good. After all, the aircraft was too large and only blurry blocks of color could be seen at close range, so the only option was to increase the altitude as much as possible.
On this side, when the alien beast appeared, Jun Himeya had already pulled out the Evolution Truster.
But Northfield did not attack immediately. It stood behind Lizi and did not make any other moves.
"Look, Gumen, I died at its hands. And it was all because of you."
The alien beast was right in front of him, less than ten meters away, and Gu Men could even smell the strong stench of the monster. But compared to the fear of the alien beast, Lizi's voice was what he was really afraid of.
He would even rather be killed by the alien beast.
"Come, Gumen, come with me into the darkness, so that we will never be separated again, and no one can separate us."
Lizi opened her arms to welcome Komon.
As long as they walked over, they could stay in the darkness forever without separation.
I can let go of everything. No one will blame me for my failure to rescue. I don't have to dwell on my inner weakness. I don't have to think about anything and can sink into it easily.
No responsibilities, no worries and no fears. Lizi would be with him. Eternal peace and tranquility, darkness was nothing to be afraid of.
Gu Men took a step forward.
"No, come back quickly, Gu Men!"
What was that sound? Gumen had a moment of clarity. But Lizi came forward and hugged him. The warm and soft feeling made Gumen decide not to think about what happened just now.
He just leaned on Lizi's shoulder.
The unprecedented peace is like the most peaceful dream, I am so immersed in it that I don’t want to wake up.
"Gumen——"
Himeya wanted to say something, but was greeted by Lizi's face.
The kindness of Gu Men disappeared when he looked at Ji Ya, and only ferocity and malice remained. An invisible hand in the air hit Ji Ya fiercely, and he waved the Evolution Truster, and the light energy collided with the darkness, and disappeared without a trace at the same time.
"Look, darkness is not scary after all." Kiraraze seemed to be an audience member under the stage, introducing the opera to the distinguished guests he invited. "You said you have seen Faust, Lingye, do you like that drama?"
Although Ling felt that they were not that close when Mephisto called her by her name, she could still accept it as long as he didn't add the word "酱" at the end.
"I don't know. I'm not a drama student, so I don't know how to appreciate it."
Without giving a direct answer, Kiraraze didn't take it seriously.
"In Faust, it is said that human desires are endless. Mephistopheles, the devil from hell, made a bet with Faust, a human being. He only needed to make a wish, and any of his desires would be satisfied immediately, with endless money, power, and love. But when Faust really felt satisfied, his soul would be taken away by Mephistopheles. What a wonderful bet. But in the end, can you imagine? It was Mephistopheles who lost."
Because human desires can never be satisfied.
Once you have obtained something you have always dreamed of, you will lose interest in it so quickly, and then other desires will arise. No matter what you get, you will always greedily want the next thing. It seems like a bottomless pit that even the entire universe cannot fill.
"Sometimes I wonder, between Faust and Mephistopheles in the opera, who is the devil? So, isn't it a kind of relief to let go of all desires and embrace eternal darkness?"
The word death does make people feel scared, and it is the instinct of any living thing to escape death.
But people are often deceived by their instincts.
Let go of all responsibilities, no one will impose obligations on you anymore. No need to struggle hard anymore, and no more pain.
Compared to living a life of mediocrity and struggle in this world, which one is more frightening, life or death?
"I believe that Ikki Komon will look directly into his heart and make the right choice." Kirarasawa said proudly.
Ling also stretched out his hand, but there was nothing in his hand, but Kirarasawa felt his heart palpitating.
"Why, the bet is not over yet, and Gu Men has the right to make his own choice. Do you want to open the chessboard? Or do you no longer have the confidence to win?"
It was indeed the posture of overturning the chessboard, and Lingye's empty hand was holding the Ultra Medal.
"But you called the alien beast!"
"But don't you have Nexus here too? Who is the one cheating?" Kiraraze looked up at the sky in the distance. "And look, the Night Raid Team is here too. I've given you the Queen and the Castle, but you still don't dare to play against me?"
Chapter 551 Northfield
"Himeya, put on your armor."
Looking at Gorogi falling from the sky like a cannonball, Taro Armor's briefcase slammed heavily on the ground in front of Himeya Jun, and Himeya Jun put away the Evolution Truster that he was planning to transform into.
The Eagle hovered in the air with its gun pointed at the alien beast.
"Why did that guy Gu Men stop there?!"
The lone door was right under the alien beast, which prevented the Eagle from launching an attack immediately.
Similarly, the alien beast did not attack Komon and the Eagle. Its huge body stood there like a stone sculpture.
