Chapter 112 Tokyo Root Server Restart
This sea monster was even larger than the previous one. The entire sea surface was shaking violently at its anger, as if the heaven and earth were responding to its rage.
Its giant tentacles were like destructive weapons, slapping the sea surface wildly, causing huge waves. Those waves were as high as a wall, rushing in all directions, covering the whole sky.
The sea monster's eyes flashed with cold and cruel light as it stared at the J20C that was losing control and falling.
Lu Mingfei felt the fighter plane stalling. All he could hear was the whistling of the wind. All the data on the dashboards had gone out. All the electronic equipment was paralyzed by the powerful electromagnetic pulse. He could no longer rely on any system of the fighter plane. The J20C dived madly towards the sea like a piece of iron out of control.
"Damn it!" Lu Mingfei cursed in a low voice, his face extremely cold. He pulled the rope under the seat fiercely and activated the emergency ejection device. His body was instantly pulled out of the cockpit by the huge impact force, and the seat flew into the air with it.
At the moment of ejection, Lu Mingfei looked up at the sea monster below. It was much more terrifying than the previous one. Each of its tentacle was like a huge steel pillar that could easily tear a warship apart. Its skin was iron gray, reflecting a cold metallic light, and its huge eyes revealed deep malice and murderous intent.
"The trouble is even bigger this time..." He thought silently in his heart. The cold wind whistled past his ears and the world in his sight seemed to be spinning at high speed, but his mind remained unusually calm.
He pulled the handle of the parachute, and it suddenly opened above his head. The strong pulling force slowed down his fall, and the whole world seemed to suddenly stop.
Just as he was thrown into the air, the newly appeared sea monster raised a huge tentacle and slapped it hard in his direction. A huge shadow enveloped him, and the sky and the earth dimmed.
Lu Mingfei quickly pulled out a Type 92 pistol from the pocket of his anti-gravity suit, aimed at the tentacle and pulled the trigger continuously. The bullets hit the monster's skin like raindrops, but the effect was minimal. The monster's scales were like steel, and the bullets only made a dull metallic impact sound.
But he still did not lose his composure, he still had other ways. Strong winds began to gather around him, quickly blowing him out of the tentacles' attack range.
Word Spirit: Eyes of the Wind King
The tentacles smashed into the sea, causing huge waves. When the sea monster saw that it failed to hit Lu Mingfei, it howled angrily and raised its tentacles again to smash towards Lu Mingfei.
But at this time, the 127mm naval gun exploded on the sea monster's body. The powerful explosive force broke off its tentacles that were about to swing, and blood spurted out from the broken part like a fountain and sprinkled into the air.
Lu Mingfei looked up and saw that the two Japanese destroyers had already arrived at the battlefield. Now without fighter jets to fight the sea monster, they had no choice but to come over. The ship's guns fired continuously, bombarding the huge body of the sea monster.
Due to the influence of electromagnetic pulses, naval guns can only aim and shoot by human eyes, or by optical rangefinders. The accuracy of these aiming methods is much worse than aiming with the fire control system. They can only shorten the distance to the sea monster to improve accuracy.
Although the sea monster's scales were extremely hard, it still seemed somewhat powerless in the face of modern thermal weapons. Every time a shell exploded on its body, it would tear off a piece of scale, revealing the flesh underneath. The sea monster howled in pain, and its huge body rolled violently on the sea surface, and the waves it created pushed the two destroyers to stagger.
If the sea monster hadn't released an electromagnetic pulse, a round of missile fire should have killed it.
The sea monster howled in pain and shifted its angry gaze from Lu Mingfei to the two destroyers. It quickly raised high an intact tentacle with the dead sperm whale still entangled on it. It angrily threw the huge whale towards the destroyers like a javelin.
The huge body of the sperm whale smashed into one of the destroyers with unparalleled impact force. The huge impact force caused the destroyer to make a muffled sound, the hull shook violently, and a raging flame broke out on the deck.
A sperm whale over ten meters long smashed into a destroyer like a javelin. Although the sperm whale was huge in size and had a strong impact force, it did not sink the destroyer which was hundreds of meters long.
Modern destroyers are designed and built to cope with various extreme sea conditions and weapon attacks. They have a solid hull structure and strong impact resistance.
Although the destroyer did not sink, many of the ship's equipment were severely damaged, its guns were paralyzed, and it began to withdraw from the battlefield amid thick black smoke.
The other destroyer's guns continued to fire shells in succession, trying to cause more damage to the sea monster, but the sea monster was obviously aware of the threat of firepower, and its huge body suddenly sank into the water and disappeared under the sea.
The destroyer immediately lost track of the sea monster. Although the ship was equipped with torpedoes, without the assistance of radar, they were no different from blind people. This was also the reason why they had not come over just now.
"Captain! We have lost track of it!" a sailor on the destroyer shouted anxiously.
"Fire all the torpedoes! Don't let it get close!" the captain shouted loudly, staring at the sea. Although he had lost track of the sea monster, the premonition of danger made him dare not relax at all.
At the same time, Lu Mingfei steadied his body in the air, and used the power of the Eye of the Wind King to control the airflow, allowing himself to continue floating in the air. He scanned the surrounding sea with sharp eyes, and at the same time used the sickle-weasel to search for traces of the sea monster.
He knew that the monster would never leave so easily, and a huge danger was still lurking beneath the water, waiting for an opportunity to strike.
The Kamaitachi quickly deployed its perception network and soon captured the trace of the sea monster. It was swimming under the sea at an astonishing speed, aiming directly at the unsuspecting destroyer.
“Get out of the way!” Lu Mingfei shouted in the air. Due to the influence of the electromagnetic pulse, the communication equipment could not be used. Now communication could only be done by shouting, but the crew on the destroyer obviously could not hear his shouts.
The water on the sea surface suddenly exploded, and a huge tentacle sprang out of the water, smashing into the side of the destroyer with terrifying force. The tentacle hit the hull heavily, making a dull impact sound. The entire destroyer shook violently, and the equipment on the deck and the hull structure made a harsh metallic groaning sound.
The sailors on the ship were panicked, but as they were well-trained, they reacted quickly and tried to re-aim in the direction of the monster. However, without the help of radar, they could only rely on their naked eyes to aim and attack, and this giant beast moved in the sea like a ghost and was difficult to capture.
The sea monster sank into the water again. The shells and torpedoes fired by the destroyer all missed. The explosions created ripples on the sea surface, but did not hurt the sea monster at all.
When the sea monster reappeared on the sea, its thick tentacles had already tightly wrapped around the destroyer's hull. The enormous force made the destroyer's steel plates groan under the heavy load, and the hull began to gradually tilt.
At this moment, fireballs with flame tails suddenly streaked across the sky, and those fireballs fell to the earth and the ocean as if foreshadowing the end of the world.
When Lu Mingfei saw this scene, his heart tightened. He knew that this meant that they didn't have much time left. The lunar debris was about to fall to the earth, causing a complete global disaster. If they could not restart the root server before the debris fell, human civilization would be completely wiped out.
He looked up at the destroyer that was gradually sinking, then looked at the sea monster that was entangled with the hull. He quickly untied his parachute and rushed straight towards the sea monster.
Word Spirit: Eyes of the Wind King
The wind gathered around Lu Mingfei, making him smash towards the sea monster like a missile. At the same time, he also used the Word Spirit: Bronze Throne. The bronze light covered his body, his muscles bulged high, and his fists were covered with flames. At this moment, he was like a burning comet, rushing straight towards the sea monster.
The strong wind formed a powerful airflow around him, which increased his speed again, like lightning streaking across the sky. The power of the bronze throne covered his muscles, pushing his strength to the limit. Every inch of his muscles was filled with explosive power. Flames burned on his fists, and the golden pupils in his eyes became more dazzling. The scorching flames seemed to merge with his body.
The sea monster seemed to feel threatened and swung its huge tentacles wildly, trying to intercept Lu Mingfei in mid-air, but Lu Mingfei was too fast.
boom!
With a loud bang, Lu Mingfei's fist smashed hard on the sea monster's head. The power of the flame and the bronze throne merged together. The strong impact caused the sea monster's head to cave in. The surrounding sea water was splashed by the impact, and the entire sea surface seemed to be rolled up by the impact.
The sea monster let out a creepy howl, and its huge body began to tremble violently. Its tentacles swung around like out-of-control cables, causing huge waves. The huge hull also shook under its frantic struggle, and the steel made a creepy groan.
Lu Mingfei did not stop. The moment he landed on the sea monster's head, he once again activated the Word Spirit: Eye of the Wind King, and the strong wind quickly sent him back into the air.
The flame burned on his fist again, like a burning sun hanging on the tip of his fist. He almost stuck to the sea monster's scalp and punched out again.
Word Spirit·Jun Yan
This time, the power of the flame exploded completely, like a burning sun exploding directly on the sea monster's head. The violent explosion tore through the sea monster's scales and flesh. The scorching flames instantly engulfed its head, and the burning air waves rolled up in the air, carrying destructive power.
A huge hole was blown in the sea monster's head, and blood gushed out of the wound like a fountain, dyeing the entire sea red.
The sea monster's tentacles were burnt, and large pieces of its scales were torn by the flames, revealing the flesh and blood inside. However, despite being severely injured, the sea monster still did not give up. There was an increasingly violent light flashing in its eyes. Another complete tentacle suddenly rolled up from under the sea surface and attacked Lu Mingfei with infinite power.
"This guy's vitality is too strong..." Lu Mingfei quickly dodged, and the strong wind formed a barrier around him, helping him avoid the fatal blow.
At this time, the crew on the remaining destroyer had also readjusted their status. They tried their best and aimed all the ship's gun fire at the sea monster's wound. The fierce artillery fire tore through the air, and shells hit the sea monster one after another.
The sea monster's scales could no longer withstand such a strong attack, and the shells hit its exposed flesh one after another, making dull explosions.
The sea monster let out an even more shrill roar. The great pain made it struggle frantically. Its tentacles waved wildly on the sea. Every slap caused huge waves. The surrounding sea water had been dyed red by its blood, but it still did not stop. Instead, it became more violent, as if it was making its last dying struggle.
"Goodbye." Lu Mingfei whispered and threw a final punch.
The power of the bronze throne and Jun Yan merged into one at this moment, and the huge force instantly penetrated the sea monster's head. The sea monster let out a final roar, and then its huge body fell powerlessly to the sea surface, stirring up huge waves. The surrounding sea water boiled and gradually turned red.
Lu Mingfei's eyes were cold as he stared at the blackened head below. Flames were raging on the sea monster's body, its skin and scales were melting rapidly under the high temperature, and the sea water was filled with a pungent burnt smell.
The sea monster's movements froze at that moment, its huge body trembled slightly, and its tentacles drooped weakly as it lost the support of life.
Its body slowly sank to the bottom of the sea, and with the rolling of water, the sea surface gradually returned to calm, as if nothing had happened.
Lu Mingfei was hanging in the air, breathing heavily, with beads of sweat on his forehead. He looked down at the monster that had sunk to the bottom of the sea, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he was sure that it would never rise again.
On the surrounding destroyers, the soldiers cheered deafeningly. The threat of the behemoth finally disappeared, and the communication equipment gradually returned to normal after the electromagnetic pulse disappeared.
"General, are you okay?" The commander's voice came through the communicator, with a hint of joy and fear of surviving a disaster. Lu Mingfei exerted a power that was not human-like, but he did not ask any more questions. He thought it might be an experiment secretly conducted by the United Government.
"I'm fine." Lu Mingfei said in a low voice, his eyes were still calm, without too many emotional fluctuations. However, the battle just now was not without cost. One of his arms had been completely burnt. Although he was the one who released Jun Yan, it did not mean that he was immune to the damage of the fire.
"The dispatch team must continue the operation and be sure to restart the root server within the remaining time." However, he no longer had time to care about these things. He issued the final order through the restored communication, then turned and looked into the distance. Countless meteorites were falling from the sky with flames trailing behind them.
Now, they don't have much time left.
Lu Mingfei slowly landed on the destroyer. The soldiers around him looked at him with awe. Soon, the communication equipment on the destroyer received news from the dispatch team.
"The root server has been restarted! It is expected to be completed within ten minutes!"
This news made the surrounding soldiers relax, and at this time a medical soldier came to Lu Mingfei.
"General Lu, do you want to treat your wound first..." The medic's voice was filled with concern, his eyes fixed on Lu Mingfei's uniform that had been torn by the battle and his charred arms.
"No, help me connect to the command center." Lu Mingfei shook his head, his tone unquestionable, his face still showing calmness and determination. Although his wound was painful, compared with the crisis in front of him, this pain was not worth mentioning at all.
The medical soldier retreated helplessly, and the communications soldier immediately began to operate the communication equipment. Soon, the flashing indicator light on the equipment lit up.
"Command center, connected." The operator nodded at Lu Mingfei and quickly handed the communication equipment to him.
"General Lu, this is the command center, please report the situation." A clear voice came from the command center, with tension and anxiety.
Lu Mingfei took a deep breath, trying to make his breathing steady, and then calmly reported: "The Japanese root server has successfully entered the restart procedure and is expected to be completed within ten minutes. The sea monster has been destroyed, and everything is going well for the dispatch team. What is the situation of the BJ root server?"
There was a brief silence on the other end of the communication, as if it was digesting the information he sent. After a moment, the voice of the command center sounded again.
"I'm sorry, General Lu. The BJ root server has not been restarted yet. A piece of lunar debris just hit the top of the BJ root server. All the members of the second and third teams of the dispatch team were killed. There is still one member of the first team in the Internet center, but we have lost contact with him. The situation is not optimistic. The Internet recovery progress bar is stuck at 99%..."
