Chapter 86

"Wah!"

In the theater, the audience again let out a low gasp.

It wasn't admiration for Gao Yuanyuan's looks, but shock at the mighty, imposing aura of the Chinese-made mech "Storm Crimson Red" on screen.

Inside the vast, ruined hunter base filled with heavy-industry metal style, the Black General led the male and female leads, explaining the latest situation.

"China's Storm Crimson Red is one of the finest mech hunters, assembled in Changzhou, with a pure titanium core, no alloy, each muscle bundle requiring fifty diesel engines for power, a precisely deadly warrior piloted by the Wei triplets, locals who have successfully defended China Hong Kong seven times!"

As the Black General spoke, the camera rose from low to high, giving the audience a sense of looking up at a steel giant.

Then came a close-up of Storm Crimson Red's upper body; though only a few seconds, it made the audience's blood boil.

"Storm Crimson Red is so cool, I want to see it blast monsters!"

"Our great Changzhou is mighty, able to build such a domineering mech!"

"Where did they find these triplets!"

On the silver screen, the brothers playing the triplets flashed by. Speaking of which, due to not finding a suitable candidate for a long time, Jiang Heng once considered changing the design structure of 'Storm Crimson Red', but fortunately they eventually found one.

However, to highlight the protagonist, Storm Crimson Red will still be taken off the line, only its screen time and close-ups will be a bit more.

In comparison, the first-generation mecha Chernobyl Alpha made by Russia looks somewhat heavier, and the Russian pilot couple both have white hair, also looking very cool.

Now the protagonist also understood the general's purpose in calling him back: to bind a 2400-pound thermonuclear warhead onto the Striker, to destroy the breach connecting the spacetime wormhole, equivalent to detonating 1.2 million tons of TNT explosive, while the male lead's mission is to provide cover together with the other two mecha hunters.

The male lead doubted, saying that they had attacked the breach before, but it was useless!

The black general only said he had a plan, then walked away.

Afterwards is a transitional plot featuring two foreign scientists akin to the Dragon and Phoenix, who have been studying the monsters' characteristics and patterns, also making theoretical preparations for the general's plan to destroy the breach.

Then the male lead saw the 'Wanderer' under repair, and learned that it already had a dual-core reactor, making it one of a kind.

The candidate selection plot was ordinary, but Gao Yuanyuan's performance was stunning, after all her looks are there.

But what the audiences still look forward to is the mecha versus monster scenes.

The breach detected life traces, likely two fourth-rank monsters; the camera panned to reveal, at the deep-sea breach filled with blue lightning and red flames, a huge monster's head emerging, opening its mouth to roar.

At the base, the supervisor briefed the arriving crowd: two monsters emerged, codenamed 'Tail Rat' and 'Ridged-back Turtle', and will reach Hong Kong in one hour.

The black general announced the evacuation of the city, the sealing of bridges, and directing the crowds to shelters, while Crimson Red Storm and Chernobyl Alpha go to the front line of the harbor to hold the coast; the Striker stays in the rear, guarding the shoreline, and will only join the battle when absolutely necessary.

As for the Wanderer, due to the female lead's psychological trauma, it almost caused the mecha to lose control; for now it can only remain on standby at the base.

The stirring music swelled as more than ten large military helicopters lifted Storm Crimson Red out of the base.

Compared to it, the command personnel on the tower look tiny, like ants.

"He looks really cool; do you think we could film something like this in the future?"

As they say, mecha is men's romance; a businessman like Zhang Weiping unexpectedly felt hot-blooded because of Storm Crimson Red fighting the monsters.

Zhang Yimou stared at the silver screen, gave a wry smile, and said, "It's not easy to film!"

What he thought was, from the perspective of script design, Storm Crimson Red probably needs to be severely wounded and taken off the line to highlight the protagonist.

Of course, this idea poses no problem now; who let our national strength be weak!

If we changed it to a Chinese-made mecha saving the world, not to mention foreign audiences, even domestic ones would find it absurd!

Only when China becomes strong enough to not lose to the US will filming a movie of China saving the Earth gain market and audience approval.

On the big screen, Storm Crimson Red and Chernobyl Alpha are suspended in midair, while the Eureka Striker strides forward on the waves.

The battle is about to erupt, the scene extremely flashy.

Especially the image of the two mechs descending from the sky, full of power and texture.

One audience member said: "I feel Chernobyl Alpha should be very strong!"

"Hmm, looking more solid!"

"I'm still looking forward to Storm Crimson Red's performance!"

As they spoke, the monster had already appeared.

A huge Tail Rat suddenly leapt out of the sea, its tail sweeping Storm Crimson Red upside down, causing it to fall into the seawater dozens of meters away.

"Holy shit, this monster is too strong!"

"Director, how can you let Storm Crimson Red be knocked down so easily?"

The audience complained endlessly, but fortunately Storm Crimson Red quickly got up, preparing 'Thunderstorm Rain', the alloy flywheels on each hand spinning at high speed, still looking quite intimidating.

The Tail Rat advanced, being sliced by the alloy flywheels all over its body, blue bodily fluid spraying.

Moreover, during the standoff, Storm Crimson Red violently flung it away.

Beside it, Chernobyl Alpha surged forward, a steel giant hand gripping the Tail Rat's neck, and a metal fist slammed down heavily.

"Whoa! Feels really powerful now!"

"Exciting, exciting!"

However, the Tail Rat is indeed strong; after being pummeled several punches by Chernobyl Alpha, it suddenly whipped its tail and flung it into the seawater.

The situation is critical!

Just one Tail Rat is this formidable, and there's also the Ridged-back Turtle!

The Striker applies to go into battle!

But it still has the mission of throwing bombs, which cannot be failed.

But at this moment the Tail Rat uses its tail to assault Storm Crimson Red, directly destroying the head cockpit.

Chernobyl Alpha advances, but is hit by a mouthful of blue strong acid sprayed by the Tail Rat, corroding the control cabin.

At the critical moment, the Striker 'Stride' runs forward.

As a result, the Ridged-back Turtle, which had been lying in ambush in the water for a long time, suddenly leapt out, and together with the Tail Rat attacked from front and back, directly destroying Chernobyl Alpha.

The arriving Striker first unleashed a barrage of heavy punches on the Tail Rat, then grabbed it and threw it away.

When preparing to unleash the chest-mounted missile ultimate move, the Ridged-back Turtle in the distance behind suddenly emitted an electromagnetic pulse, which not only interrupted the Striker's missile launch but also knocked out power across all of Hong Kong.

The whole process was tense and exciting, with no dull moments.

"Holy shit, the monsters know magic, nobody can stop them!"

"They even know tactics, that's totally absurd!"

"It's mainly because that PhD is an idiot, insisting on linking his brain to the monster's; while you learn their weakness, the monster also learns about the mech!"

"All are targeted strikes!"

"Otherwise, Storm Crimson Red definitely wouldn't have gone offline so easily!"

"On the screen, the situation was extremely perilous, and only the nuclear-powered, pulse-immune Wanderer could be sent out!"
