The Warrior of Love

Chapter 296: If you say this, I will be free

"Rumble..."

The large helipad hidden between the mountain peaks gradually cracked open, retracting its barriers and shields like a whirlpool, revealing a bottomless underground tunnel.

With a roar like a storm, a huge steel dragon rose from it...

No, it was just an airplane, just a little bigger than an ordinary transport plane, nothing to be surprised about.

The total length is about 70 meters, and the wingspan reaches 100 meters. Compared with the smooth lines of fighter jets, this one seems to only emphasize the size. The straight-tube-like fuselage has no aesthetic appeal at all. However, the oppressive feeling like a giant dragon alone is enough to take one's breath away.

There was not just one super transport plane. Six huge aircraft of the same size flew out from the hidden base in succession. They probably used the same technology as the Victory Swallow. They were clearly jet-shaped but they hovered steadily in the air.

Then, the ground began to vibrate slightly, as if it was the sound of metal gears and tracks colliding, but it was hundreds of times more distant and deep than that. When I closed my eyes, the image of Sisyphus in Greek mythology pushing the boulder to the top of the mountain emerged in my mind.

Rumble…

The silver-gray metallic luster shone in the cave, and slowly a speechless monster was pushed to the ground by the lifting platform.

Fifty... no, it should be about sixty meters.

You can barely make out the shape of the limbs and the head, so it can be considered modeled after a human figure. However, the bloated and short-armed image does not have any "aesthetic beauty". At most, it makes people think of it as a sumo wrestler - it looks difficult to knock down.

The main part of its body is covered with extremely heavy armor, especially the chest. The beast head imitating a triceratops is extremely ferocious, and the huge and sharp horns are intimidating.

In terms of quality, this ugly-looking mecha is three times as expensive as the gorgeous Revolution, but in terms of value, the Revolution can be exchanged for ten of these!

Because for mecha weapons, the most important thing is always the energy source. The Revolution Machine is equipped with the Magnus power system, which allows it to maintain such high combat performance and output power.

As for this "Codenamed Triceratops", it does not have any energy system at all. The place where the core engine should be is now empty, with only an empty shell placed in it for show.

Six super transport planes used special steel cables and hooks to slowly lift up the huge machine and fly it into the distance...

The destination is an offshore drilling platform that does not exist on the map. Even if observed by satellite, it will be blocked by the electromagnetic barrier. The only people who can come into contact with this place are fishermen who are occasionally blown here by storms, but they naturally will not suspect anything.

After all, no one could have imagined that all the effort to build a steel platform here was just for a cover... this cover was too expensive.

On the surface, it looks like an institution of an oil company, but actually it is built on an ultra-ancient relic. About 30 meters below the sea, one can see a corner of the once glorious civilization, but now it is covered by cold steel.

After the transport plane flew over with the "Triceratops", the drilling platform began to automatically deform, opening up a huge parking area large enough to accommodate visitors, and Jiang Liu had been waiting here early.

"It's finally here."

The man in the helmet checked the time and said, "It's not easy to transport this thing here. I hope I can succeed in one go."

"Sir, the Anti-Magnus engine is ready."

"Then start assembling it right away."

"understand!"

After receiving Jiang Liu's order, the staff began their busy and stressful task.

The "Triceratops" was placed on the platform and was not put into the hangar, but was modified here.

A huge engine that was two stories high was transported over by an engineering vehicle. With the help of various industrial machines, everyone opened the energy department of the mecha, took out the useless shell, and installed the engine according to the procedures.

This operation alone consumed the entire afternoon.

But Jiang Liu watched carefully from beginning to end, without any sign of impatience, and only let out a sigh of relief when the modification was completed.

"Now we have a prototype, but I don't know if the Anti-Magnus engine can meet the expected requirements."

"Anti-Magnus", as the name suggests, is something related to the Magnus power system but has a completely opposite nature.

The essence of Mags is to use the collision between protons and antiprotons to create light energy, and then utilize it. It can be said that it has touched the threshold of a high-level civilization.

But what is interesting is that in the process of creating light energy, just by changing some details and variables, you can produce the completely opposite dark energy, which has a wonderful gravitational force that devours light energy and absorbs free particles.

Not only Jiang Liu didn't understand the specific scientific principles, but even Dr. Yaoi himself didn't understand them.

After the Eight-Tails determined that this energy was difficult for humans to utilize and was more suitable for use in weapons than light energy, it decisively sealed this inversion equation...

Apparently, he just thought he had sealed it.

In fact, the Anti-Magnus (dark energy) engine has already been developed in other bases.

The TPC headquarters is the command center on the surface, and the underground inverted pyramid is responsible for the "Ark of Doom" and develops the Mags system and related technologies (such as the Revolution Machine) internally.

The base hidden in the mountain houses giant stone statues and conducts various studies on super-ancient civilizations. Masaki Keigo was also exiled here by Jiang Liu.

But this "drilling platform" built on the ruins is the most secretive institution of TPC. It was built during the Defense Force era. Potentially controversial things like the Anti-Magnus Engine were manufactured here.

Because here is the best "environment"!

"Anchor!"

"Got it, start!"

The giant crane that makes people feel the weight of the "Industrial Age" began to operate. It was originally an industrial machine used to lift huge ships in the dock, and it has no problem dealing with this mecha.

Lift it up steadily, lower it slowly into the water, and after disconnecting it, let it sink freely.

"Om-"

An electric discharge appeared somewhere, and the lightning flashed in the water and disappeared in an instant. The light released in a short moment reflected the incalculable huge black shadow on the seabed...

The unspeakable horror sleeps quietly in the deep sea, and will not emerge from nightmares until the world comes to an end.

Jiang Liu watched this scene quietly, his mood was inexplicably complicated. After all, to him, that person was not just an enemy.

"If everything goes well, it can probably delay the disease for more than ten days."

The thing underground is about to wake up, and this process is irreversible. As time goes by, the dark power it accumulates is increasing and will soon exceed the limit of the seal. Once it explodes, it will be a planetary disaster.

But now, neither Dagu nor humans are ready yet. Before that, Jiang Liu must delay as much as possible and find a way to weaken their combat power...

This prototype is equipped with the "Anti-Magnus Engine", which is the same type of energy as the thing sleeping below. Although they cannot be compared in quality and quantity, they can indeed attract each other.

In about ten days, this mecha will absorb the dark energy emitted from the ruins, obtain a new "core", and become what Jiang Liu calls the "Evil God".

This can slightly reduce the density of dark energy in the ruins and delay the awakening of that thing...

Although he didn't know how long he could delay, Jiang Liu wanted to do everything he could, at least so that he didn't want to regret due to laziness and negligence in the final battle.

Although doing so would increase the number of enemies, it would be fine as long as it was within control.

As for what to do with the evil spirits that were produced...

Didi didi! !

"Hmm? Victory team?"

Jiang Liu took out the communicator in surprise. It was rare for the Victory Team to take the initiative to find him. What happened?

"Yes, it's me. How come... a superpower, no, an alien? What's the connection? Explain clearly. I'm very busy - Oh, a beautiful girl?

Got it, I'll be there right away, I'm free."

Chapter 297: You are free

She is indeed a beautiful girl, Ye Rui and the others did not lie to Jiang Liu.

With delicate and lovely facial features, a well-proportioned and slender figure, and a blue sleeveless top and a hip-hugging miniskirt, she looks like an ordinary fashionable girl.

Although she is not as good as true "goddesses" like Hebe and Hera, anyone who sees her will think that she is a beautiful and lovable girl.

However, this girl had some strange...accessories on her.

He wore a leather collar and a chain around his neck, and a silver metal handcuff on his right hand at night, with something like a pendant tied to the chain.

Is it the most popular style nowadays? Or do you like this style of play?

Jiang Liu felt vaguely that the image of this girl was somewhat familiar, and seemed to match a certain plot in the "original work", but the memory was already quite distant, and there was not much information that could be used.

Now the girl was lying in the infirmary of TPC headquarters, leaning against the wall on the bed, observing everything around her in a daze, anxiety and vigilance.

In other words, this infirmary was not that big, but the population density was quite high. In addition to Jiang Liu, the three members of the Victory Team plus the original medical staff were crowded together, a total of six or seven people. Seeing so many strangers at once, it was no wonder that the girl felt uneasy.

"what happened?"

"A meteorite fell yesterday. We went to investigate and found that the meteorite had broken into pieces, but there were human footprints nearby... Then when we were patrolling in the city, we met this girl. She was being chased by an ugly monster, and we saved her."

"Oh." Jiang Liu nodded.

Don't ask why they help girls. Didn't you hear that she is an "ugly" monster? Besides, when encountering such things, people will tend to side with the weaker party if they don't understand the inside story.

A beautiful girl with fair skin is definitely friendlier than a hideous and smelly monster, right?

"Then what? Is there something wrong with her that requires her to call me back?"

"Look, sir."

The nurse picked up a test tube with a little blue liquid in it. Jiang Liu narrowed his eyes slightly when he saw it.

"This is?"

"I collected a sample of her blood when I was treating her wound," the nurse answered honestly. "We've tested it and found that her various body indicators, including metabolic efficiency and muscle utilization, are far higher than those of humans on Earth."

"A human from Earth... Blue blood, is she from outer space?"

Jiang Liu looked at her seriously and nodded: "No wonder you want me to come back."

The Victory Team is the "Global Unlimited Mission Team" whose sole responsibility is to deal with various supernatural phenomena.

However, although it sounds nice, they are actually just a group of errand boys who have a certain status within TPC but are far away from the center of power.

They can fight aliens, ancient monsters, and mythical ghosts, but they do not have the freedom to "negotiate" with them. Especially when it comes to alien civilizations, it can easily escalate to the political level.

Not to mention directly taking in an alien now...anything could happen.

At times like this, they need approval from higher-ups. Normally, it would be Hui Jujian who would go and make the connections, but isn't there an extra consultant now?

Isn't this consultant so well-connected that he can even steal a sci-fi mecha? It should be easy to get a license!

Well, it is indeed easy. Jiang Liu didn’t take it seriously anyway.

High-level approval? Did he give it to himself?

"Do you know why that monster is chasing her?"

Jiang Liu asked seriously, "Also, does she have any companions? Is she alone or in a group? Does the monster have any companions?"

"I'm sorry, we haven't figured this out yet." Vice-captain Zong Fang lowered his head, expressing deep shame. The other two team members were also speechless.

Unlike Munakata who came from the military, most of the people in the Victory Team actually came from a background of scientists or professionals. They had received training but were ultimately more emotional. In this matter, they felt more like "helping the weak when seeing injustice" and did not give it too much thought.

"Forget it, it's nothing." Jiang Liu waved his hand, "It's nothing more than asking now."

Everyone's eyes were focused on the girl, which startled her and made her shrink back into the corner. Although her physical fitness was far stronger than that of a human, she did not seem to be aggressive.

"Don't be afraid, we are not bad people." Da Gu said softly, "Who are you and where are you from?"

"%...&biushxahdiudhoiDIL."

Otherwise, why do we say appearance is so important? Dagu, who has a sunny appearance, spoke softly, which made the girl gradually let down her guard, but what he said left people confused.

Nori also tried to use a language translator, but the girl's cosmic language obviously could not be included, and there was no similar language even on Earth.

"Then what should we do?" Ye Rui became helpless.

"sxjcblcljkancjabc!"

Seeing that no one reacted, the girl continued to speak, her tone and voice became a little hurried, but no one knew what she meant, which made everyone more annoyed.

——Except Jiang Liu.

Although he is proficient in languages, it is only the mainstream language of the other world. Obviously, in this world, Earth language is the "main" language, and alien language is not included, so even he can't understand what the other party is saying.

But language is not the only form of communication.

He tilted his head and thought for a while, then stretched out his hands and held them together. The moment their hands touched each other, he could clearly feel the girl's body tremble, and she seemed a little afraid, but soon her expression relaxed.

【Can you hear what I'm saying? 】

[You...is this your voice?]

[I am now directly connected to your spirit. Don't worry about the difference in language. Just tell me your troubles. ]

Jiang showed a gentle expression - but he soon realized that he was wearing a helmet, and he couldn't help feeling dull.

"Hey, sir, what are you doing?" Ye Rui felt something was wrong when he saw the girl's reaction.

"Her uneasiness disappeared...Are you communicating?"

"It's a newly developed telepathic technology, there's no need to make a fuss." Jiang Liu said casually and continued the conversation with the girl.
