Time, a little reversed.
At that time, Kevin, Alicia, and Fu Hua, who were the highest combat forces of the New World Serpent, had just entered the "Quiet Box Garden" not long ago. . . . .
Mu "Continent," to which Fire Chasing Moth belongs, First Research Department.
"Can't you contact them anymore?"
Mebius was sitting alone in a relatively small secret room, covering an area of only a few square meters. Looking at the figure of another person secretly placed there by Gray Snake and displayed on the screen of the special secret communication device of the New World Serpent, she couldn't help but frown and hold her forehead.
"Why is it at this time?"
She sighed helplessly.
At this point, the one responsible for docking with her was Mei's father... the world-renowned electromagnetic physicist —— Dr. Ryoma.
After "Mei Lei collapsed," the World Serpent Lord Kevin Kaslana forcibly arranged for her to take a three-day vacation before his departure, and she currently had no chance to take charge of matters.
And "Dr. Ryoma, who has recently been acting as his daughter's deputy, is actively participating in the Organization of the New World Serpent."
He himself knows all that future intelligence, the gravity of the situation, how unbearable Fire Moth is.
The conclusion is. . . . . He, as a father, wants to be the backbone of his daughter and the most reliable right hand by her side.
At least he can't lose to those two white-haired boys who are annoying just to look at. . . . . Ahem\~
In short, it was the insistence of the old father.
Without a doubt, Dr. Ryoma is very heartbroken after learning of Mei's future experiences.
"He will never allow that future to become reality again."
For this, he is bound to fight as hard as he can.
Right now.
"Guys. . . . . How is the situation on Mu Continent's side?"
Within the communication screen, Dr. Ryoma asks serious questions.
Without a doubt, he is a very capable person.
Although he is middle-aged, his talent in scientific research is not as good as super geniuses like Mebius, Vill-V, and Einstein, and even less than his own daughter, who is too versatile, but.
His management skills are good.
He was rather calm and had an eye long enough for events.
Lately, many times, Mei, who has just begun handling the affairs of a large organization and is seriously inexperienced in all aspects, is often taught and corrected by him, thus avoiding many detours.
You must know that in the original historical trajectory of the current era, Dr. Ryoma unfortunately died in Changkong City during the outbreak of the "Third Collapse". . . . . So after that, Mei's situation was similar to Fu Hua's, lacking guidance from elders.
Only. . . . . In the original historical trajectory, Fu Hua's guide was still Captain Himiko. And Mei's guide.
Obviously, the latter is a master who puts evolution second, research third, and harsh words first.
Perhaps she could teach Mei some high-level knowledge, but, to put it bluntly, Mebius herself has great problems.
Therefore, Mei in the original historical trajectory also belongs to the type of "person who is defective for some reason."
Now there is no such shortage.
However.
"The situation is very unsatisfactory."
Mebius, as one of the hidden hands planted by the New World Serpent inside Fire Chasing Moth, is now revealing all the information she knows at this stage in detail without hesitation.
"At present, no less than five cities have fallen in the southwestern region of Guangmu continent."
"And those monsters that still haven't been given a codename. . . . . Launched attacks on Mu continent from all directions at the same time."
"And there are many of them."
"So far, according to statistics, the total number of monsters that have landed on Mu continent alone is more than 6 million."
"And this number continues to increase."
Mebius glanced at another screen and continued: "The Fire Moth headquarters has sought the support of the major powers, and the army on Mu continent has been fully deployed."
"Troops from the Australian continent are also arriving. . . . . ."
To tell the truth, Mebius had no interest in taking on these things before.
She was more likely to have chosen directly, gone alone into research projects, and then handed over the reporting work to Blanca or Klein to take charge.
But now.
"More than six million?"
At the other end of the communication, Dr. Ryoma, who was underground in the Sahara Desert in North Africa, within the headquarters base of the New World Serpent, couldn't help but take a breath.
That figure is an exaggeration.
You know, the three major military powers of the world today, their combined number of active troops, is less than six million.
But now, more than six million monsters have emerged from the sea without warning. . . . . They have physical qualities far beyond those of ordinary people, and can also devour the human body and transform into disguises. . . . . .
"Is this the legislator?"
Dr. Ryoma is once again shocked by this.
Of course, he does not believe that these six million monsters alone can destroy all of humanity.
With the changes of the times, war is no longer a matter of directly determining the outcome simply by competing for the total number of troops.
All kinds of advanced war machines, intelligence methods, and tactical arrangements are the key to determining victory or defeat.
But even then.
To fight, you have to consume resources, and people will die.
With a huge scale of "millions," this blow will kill many people.
"This is only the 'Fourth Collapse'!"
Dr. Ryoma sighed helplessly.
Since he also knows the future intelligence, the "Fourth Collapse" of the original historical trajectory seems to have destroyed only two or three cities in North America?
Although that also involves casualties that should not be ignored, compared to now.
"Latest news."
In the communication, Mebius's voice sounded again.
However, this time her face seemed a little strange.
Just listen.
"A moment ago, the high council of Fire Chasing Moth passed the final resolution, and the United Nations also agreed. . . . . Both sides have decided to strike several coastal cities on Mu continent. . . . . ."
"Carrying out a nuclear strike!"
.
Something very ironic.
Mebius and Dr. Ryoma both feel it.
Sensing both of them at both ends of the communication, when they learned the news, both breathed a sigh of relief.
Clearly, this overly decisive decision symbolizes: the people at the top, abandoning tens of thousands of survivors at the bottom.
But.
"Ay\~"
Dr. Ryoma sighed: "In that case, I will continue trying to communicate with Lord Su and the others."
"Contact again."
"Understood!"
Communication cut.
Looking beneath the dark screen in his field of vision, Dr. Ryoma stood in front of the encrypted communication device within the base, unmoving for a long time.
Nuclear weapons.
The current nuclear bomb is not the more powerful Honkai Energy fission bomb developed by Vill-V in the original historical trajectory.
However, its power cannot be underestimated.
Otherwise, it would not exist as a kind of "deterrent" in the international community.
Today, this terrifying force is about to be used by Mu continent to bomb its own cities. . . . . Even, to bomb those cities, the people who still survived.
It is not difficult to see that indeed many people of high rank are frightened by the figure of "more than six million."
Especially when they continue to grow and also have camouflage capabilities.
The high council of Fire Chasing Moth obviously also thought of the terrible consequences —— the formation of a chain of suspicion.
When it comes to that, it is definitely a method of infiltration that is hard to prevent.
"This can be considered as 'a strong man cutting off his wrist.'"
"Although many people have no right to choose until they lose their lives. . . . . All are 'chosen.'"
"Ay\~"
He sighed again.
Obviously, Dr. Ryoma does not like this practice.
But now, alone, he has to admit it.
This is about being able to effectively face the current situation, the most cruel.
And he also knows:
Even having done this.
Humanity still has to pay a huge price.
