Machine War: Starting from Gundam OO

Chapter 1790 Isn’t it here?

Fly into the valley, using the narrow valley path

“Ha~ha~ha~is this really the Earth?”

Cruze's men broke through the flock of strange birds and rushed into the valley. They used the terrain to repel the flock of strange birds. However, they were immediately attacked by the huge creatures in the valley. They finally wiped them all out and got a chance to catch their breath.

"Although the environment is different, all the coordinates correspond. There is no doubt that this is the Earth." Latoni Sutapo said in a flat tone.

"But these monsters..."

"They are not monsters. They are probably animals that have mutated or evolved in order to adapt to the harsh environment or because of some special factors." [Phantom Sakura] put the collected biological samples on her waist and wiped the sweat from her forehead.

"Take some time to rest. We'll set off in ten minutes." Cruze was very unhappy. The original intention of sneaking in secretly was to lead the intelligence department to show its strength, but what about now? He did collect some intelligence, but it was not the way he imagined.

Moreover, the most important intelligence has not been collected, and the most important goal has not been achieved, but three battles have taken place in succession. Don't underestimate those mutated creatures. On the one hand, there are numbers. We have encountered three different mutated creatures so far, all of which are groups. The minimum number is no less than 50, and the group of strange birds is as high as thousands. On the other hand, perhaps in order to adapt to the harsh living environment, these creatures are extremely aggressive, and the defensive capabilities of their skin, feathers, and shells are not low. Ordinary energy shots cannot cause effective damage, and their sharp teeth and claws pose a certain threat to the outer armor of MS.

The MS teams that sneaked into the earth this time are all specialized machines, and the weakest are high-level B-machine pilots. For them, the threat is not that great if they just break through, but for the submarine, once surrounded, they can only wait for death.

"Understood." XN
After resting for ten minutes, the group set out again. After scanning and detecting, they found that the situation in the valley was too complicated, so Cruze decided to leave the valley and move forward on the ground. Although doing so would make them more likely to be exposed to the mutant creatures' sight, it would also allow them to detect the approach of mutant creatures earlier.

"Still found nothing." Night had fallen, and for safety reasons, Cruze chose to find a plain with relatively open terrain to rest. The information collected during the day had already proved the complexity of the earth, and continuing to explore at night was obviously not a smart choice.

"Sir, according to the coordinates on the map, we will be able to reach the United States tomorrow." Kitamura said to Cruze, "There is one thing I find very strange."

"City?"

"Yes." Kitamura nodded. Although they chose to go in a straight line for the sake of efficiency, according to the records on the earth map, this route still passed through several cities, as well as many towns and villages, but no traces of man-made buildings were found along the way.

"It is indeed very strange. No matter how terrible the destruction was, the city should have left behind ruins, but there is no trace left at all. What does this mean?" Cruze had some guesses in his mind, but did not say them directly. Instead, he looked up at others to see what they thought.

"Two points, or two inferences," Latoni Subota said. "First, time. Even a building made entirely of metal cannot withstand the erosion of time. The great changes in the world happened a long time ago, a conservative estimate of thousands of years. All traces of human beings have been erased by the baptism of time. Second, there have never been any human buildings on the ground."

"How is this possible?" The former speculation of Ratoni Subotaso was recognized by everyone, but the latter made them feel a little unbelievable. Arad exclaimed and questioned.

"Calm down, Arad! Don't be so startled!" In the silent night, anyone would be frightened by such a howl in the ear, let alone the young girl Seola.

"Oh." After being scolded by Seora, Arad sat down with grievance. "But Arad is right, Lato, I also think this possibility is too low." Seora's doubts were the same as Arad's. The existence of human civilization had been confirmed, so how could there be no human buildings on the ground? Could it be that the people of this earth had never lived on the surface? How could this be possible?

"Yes, the possibility is very low, but it doesn't mean it doesn't exist at all." Latoni Subota knew that the possibility was very low, but it was also a possibility, so he brought it up.

"Lato, if this is the case, then every field of this world, including biology, history, technology, and even common sense, will change." Nagisa Sakura expressed her opinion.

"Latoni's guess is reasonable. After all, this is not the Earth we know." Cruze supported Latoni Subota's guess. Although he also felt that the latter was very unlikely, as he said, this is not the Earth they know, and it is still under the control of the Temple of Slaughter. Anything beyond common sense is possible.

"Another possibility is that all the cities on the ground have been demolished and everything has been used where it is needed." Of course, Cruze has another speculation, which is the most likely compared to the first two speculations.

"Demolish everything? How huge a project would that be?" everyone was surprised.

"Yes, but don't forget the time. We don't know what time it is in this world." Cruze raised a finger and said to everyone, "Don't forget the existence of scavengers. If you want to survive in such an apocalypse, everything that can be used will be used, even if it is just a ruined city."

"Hmm." Everyone thought about it and understood the possibility, which was very high.

"Sir, the most urgent task is to find human settlements so that we can get more intelligence." Kitamura Kai suggested.

"So we'll set off at nine tomorrow morning, and our tentative targets are NY and DC."

Not even the ruins of the city were seen along the way, let alone human settlements. Now that there were no clues at all, Cruze decided to search in the direction where humans were most densely populated before the destruction. The more prosperous and densely populated a place was, the easier it would be to find traces of human civilization.

"Understood." XN
"Everyone go back and rest. Go, arrange the duty roster. Everyone maintains the second-level combat configuration. The aircraft is in the activated state. The weapon system and detection system are not allowed to be shut down."

"Understood...Sir!"

"Ah."

Suddenly, everyone stood back to back in a circle and pulled out the pistols from their waists. The intelligence team who were resting nearby were already fully armed, their guns pointed at the darkness around them.

"It seems we are lucky. The source of information came to us."
