Chapter 1010: Alarm Sound
"Ring-ring..."
"Ring-ring..."
The telephone ringing at the Pittsburgh Police Department had not stopped since nightfall.
Since the end of World War II, Pittsburgh had enjoyed increasingly better public security, earning the reputation as one of the safest cities in the United States, and had also been repeatedly rated as one of the most livable cities in the country.
Because of its good public security, Pittsburgh was even able to host the G20 summit last year.
But precisely because it had been peaceful for too long, the Pittsburgh police system had begun to become somewhat bloated and sluggish.
They had enjoyed peace for so long that when calls from citizens and the 911 federal emergency reporting system came in, the Pittsburgh Police Department immediately fell into chaos.
"Harry, there's a homicide on Washington Avenue; it's said that a monster has appeared..."
"Fulippu, hurry and take a few men to Lincoln Park; someone reported that a steel monster has appeared there and has already killed many people..."
"Hell, what kind of reports are these? They're saying alien monsters have appeared..."
At first, the Pittsburgh Police Department was somewhat skeptical, and even extremely impatient, regarding these incoming reports.
But not long after, everyone realized something was wrong.
There were more and more reports, and many posts even appeared on the internet.
The actions of television stations and media were as efficient as when they fabricated fake news; almost the moment the incident broke out, reporters and teams with camera equipment had already rushed to the front lines.
The three steel monsters bred by the Beast Project, while lacking intelligence, still possessed animal instincts.
When they were previously locked in cages in the Laboratory, the three monsters had often fought among themselves, attacking each other and leaving a pile of injuries on their bodies, but they had no way to finish off the other two companions and rivals.
So, driven by the purest animal instincts, after they were sent to Pittsburgh, they tacitly and quickly chose a direction to leave from their landing sites, without interfering with each other.
But it was precisely because of this that the destruction caused by the three monsters was far more troublesome than if they had been concentrated in one place.
The Pittsburgh Police Department was undoubtedly the one feeling it most deeply now.
When the first batch of police officers received the reports and arrived at the scene with skepticism, what awaited them was a one-sided slaughter.
"Boom... boom..."
"Crack!"
When pistol bullets and shotgun shells hit the steel monster that resembled an ancient saber-toothed tiger, they could only splash some electric sparks on it.
It couldn't even leave a single white mark!
But once it noticed that 'ants' dared to attack it, the steel monster would roar, run, and leap rapidly, quickly reaching the vicinity of the target, and use its pouncing and sharp claws to quickly eliminate those police officers.
"Monster... we need backup... ah..."
"Hurry and call the National Guard..."
"Backup, we need more backup..."
Amidst the screams, police cars that rushed over in an emergency were like tofu, either rammed away by brute force or split open and even flipped over by sharp claws.
The steel monster rampaged and slaughtered crazily, venting all the anger it had felt after being bred and locked up for so long.
And one of the steel monsters continued to drive crazily against traffic along a highway.
Under the terrified gazes of drivers who had just gotten off work, it kept ramming into oncoming cars, while occasionally wantonly leaping up and landing on those vehicles, crushing the cars along with the people inside.
Soon, black smoke and firelight composed of one wrecked vehicle after another began to light up on the streets of Pittsburgh.
And the last steel monster, after running in one direction for a distance and killing and destroying some vehicles, soon arrived at a patch of vegetation.
After it passed through that vegetation belt, an open area that had been specially treated appeared in the monster's line of sight not far away.
At the same time, a piercing alarm sound quickly rang out in the air.
And it, by pure coincidence, had arrived at the reserve training base established by the United States Air Force in Pittsburgh.
Clearly, the three steel monsters suspected to be aliens that had suddenly appeared in the city had long since attracted the attention of this military base.
Especially since one of them was constantly charging toward the base, which made the base immediately heighten its vigilance after receiving the notification.
But it was useless!
The steel monster was discovered by the guards on high alert the moment it approached the vicinity of this United States Air Force reserve training base.
The guards had long since received orders to open fire directly, so the moment they saw this steel monster, they immediately aimed the rifles they were gripping at the monster and pulled the triggers.
Whistling bullets quickly hit the monster's body.
Unfortunately, it had no effect!
Instead, the pain, which felt like an itch, constantly stimulated the steel monster that only possessed animal instincts, making it realize that it had been provoked by the ants before it.
"Roar..."
Accompanied by a roar, the steel monster, weighing over ten tons, quickly transformed into an agile heavy battle tank and launched a counterattack against this military base!
Through several satellites hanging high in outer space, Sun Cheng watched every scene happening in Pittsburgh.
Also watching this scene were the Commanders of the Supreme Military Committee.
"Although these monsters have no intelligence, even relying only on their primitive animal instincts, they can still exert astonishing destructive power!"
A Commander was very surprised, and he even quickly thought: "We can consider mass-breeding these beasts and irregularly dropping them into some restless human countries, letting them rampage and destroy, depleting human war potential!"
This restless country naturally referred to some European and American countries.
Over the past half year, more than one batch of agents and military personnel from these countries had attempted to enter South America and develop anti-alien forces, recruiting spies there.
Mola's intelligence agency had gained many merits because of this, and currently, four or five Decepticons had been promoted to Advanced Warrior because of it.
"I do not agree with large-scale breeding; this thing relies on surprise. Dropping a few once or twice is fine, but if the frequency is high, it will be very easy for the other side to discover its weaknesses and take countermeasures."
"Indeed, as long as humans are fully prepared, they can solve it by paying at most a company-level combat unit!"
"I also do not support mass-breeding, but I support continuing in-depth research. If we can breed beasts comparable to Advanced Warriors at the lowest cost, then when we need to, we just need to throw two or three into some important industrial cities or financial metropolises of human countries, and the destructive power caused will be enough to make them behave for a few years!"
In the conference room, all the Commanders were admiring the footage of the three steel monsters wantonly destroying the former world steel capital, Pittsburgh, nodding and commenting from time to time.
For a time, the atmosphere was exceptionally lively.
Until a piercing alarm sound abruptly rang out in the conference room.
