Chapter 512: Onslaught
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Washington, White House.
Dozens of high-ranking federal officials were gathered around a conference table. All of them looked solemn and dignified. In front of their conference table, there was a huge screen. At this time, there was a wavy dotted line representing continuous syllables that flickered on the screen.
“We come for peace...
“You thought we were dead? But we didn’t die out but left the solar system and settled around Orion and the Pleiades...
“Although we’ve been away for a long, long time, we still know everything that your human civilization has done...
“C24 chromosome...”
...
After listening to these words, the gray-haired man sitting in the first seat said, “I think you all should understand by now that a group claiming to be Martians attacked our Ark Experimental Base in Papoose Lake, Nevada and occupied it.”
“Are they from Mars?”
A fat man on the side hesitated and said, “I have some doubts about how they came to Earth. If they came from outer space, our air defense system should be able to detect something.”
“Maybe their technology is beyond our systems, so it can’t be detected.”
Another middle-aged man in a military uniform replied, “After all, you should understand that as long as their technological system exceeds ours by a hundred years, it represents an entire new league. And if the other party is an ancient Martian civilization, then how much more advanced is their technology compared to ours?”
“No, you’ve all guessed wrong.”
However, the gray-haired man said immediately, “According to the final emergency request sent to us from the Ark Lab, the other party didn’t come from space, but came out of a crack in a space-time that suddenly appeared.”
“What?”
“Are you kidding me?”
“Impossible!”
In the meeting room, everyone exclaimed softly.
“Yes, it’s true.”
The gray-haired man continued to explain, “According to the message sent before the fall of the Ark Experimental Base, the other party rushed out of the Ark’s teleportation platform. However, unlike our regular usage of the Ark, they set up a pitch-black crack in time and space, like a black hole. All the invaders rushed out from there and as soon as they came out, they began to kill...”
As he said, he sighed, “At first I didn’t want to believe it, but after seeing their regiment destroy our RRTS Special Operations Squadron, I also have to believe that the opponent does have higher weapon technology than ours.”
The man in the first seat looked solemn and then he played a video from that time again. They saw a high-tech human form, wearing black armor, suspended in mid-air at a height of 100 meters. Rows of sights and shoulder cannons popped out behind him and the missiles that were fired were of no use at all.
When he counterattacked, within ten seconds, the entire Hellfighter helicopter formation fell...
In the end, the video ended with a helicopter crashing down extremely swiftly.
After watching this footage, the man in the first seat turned his head to look at the middle-aged man in military uniform. “Secretary Orison, as the highest officer in the Ministry of Defense, do you have any opinions on this video?”
“This video does illustrate a lot of things.”
At this time, the middle-aged man’s expression was already extremely serious. “First of all, the suit that the other party was wearing had a flying installation but I didn’t see any tail flames, which meant that it wasn’t in the form of a rocket boost that sent him up to the sky. It’s certainly not a propeller either but rather a method we don’t know of.
“Secondly, any missile will automatically detonate tens of meters in front of him. It’s very likely that it has a special jamming device that can affect the programming of the missile.
“Finally, the weapon system shown in this suit — if not mistaken, the wave that was used should be a high-power microwave weapon, but the energy is incredibly powerful. When the few helicopters were shot at in the end, a directional laser device was used...”
Speaking of this, the man in the uniform concluded. “The other party has hardly made any controlling movements from beginning to end. I have some suspicions that this set of equipment uses brain control technology... In short, this suit of armor’s technology really must’ve surpassed our human science and technology by more than 50 to 100 years.”
After listening to the analysis of the middle-aged man, everyone fell into silence for a while.
Only the man sitting in the first seat just nodded. He looked at the other man with some excessive anticipation. “Then, Secretary Orison, are we capable of targeting such individual combat weapons?”
“There are naturally many ways to target the opponent. The most primitive way is a sniper rifle.”
The middle-aged man replied, “Of course, it’s best to use an anti-material sniper rifle, but I don’t have much confidence in whether it can penetrate the opponent’s armor.”
“Why is that?”
“Didn’t a Stan missile explode more than ten meters away from the opponent?”
The middle-aged man immediately explained, “The Stan missile has an equivalent force of about 200 kilograms of TNT and a lethal radius of more than 22.5 meters. At his distance, he was even covered with smoke, which means that he has suffered at least an impact that was several times the power of an anti-material sniper rifle. The shockwave alone could smash people in a bunker to death, but he was unharmed, which means that the protection of the suit is also beyond our technological system.”
“So, isn’t it invulnerable?”
Someone blurted out involuntarily.
“At the moment, yes...”
The middle-aged man spread his hands. “But I think we can try electromagnetic bombs or bombardment with more powerful missiles, which may have a certain effect.”
“Very good.”
The man in the lead nodded and continued. “Secretary Orison, as far as I know, at least hundreds of researchers in the Ark Experimental Base have been captured by the other party and they also have breached the Ark Base’s cyber defense system. So, your Ministry of Defense must be sure to come up with a complete set of proposals to solve the problem. After all, we can’t give them the other Ark or at least we can’t give them now, otherwise, we might lose much more...”
“Understood, I’ll come up with a surefire plan.”
The man in uniform replied solemnly.
“Of course, it’s best if there’s a surefire plan.”
The man in the lead suddenly hinted. “If the cost is too great, we can also afford to lose something...”
The man in uniform was startled and he immediately understood what the other man meant.
“Of course, force is only the last strategy after all. Now we first need to figure out the origin, attitude, and other information on the other party.”
Suddenly, the man in lead changed his tone. “Minister Varo, the task of your Ministry of Foreign Affairs is equally momentous. If you can persuade the other party to submit to us, that would be ideal. If the other party is unwilling to submit, you have to appease them. We’d first have to rescue the hostages in the base.”
“Understood, I’ll send the best negotiator.”
In another seat, a pale, plump man replied.
“At the same time, we have to contact Europe to convince them that if things go out of control, they must hand over the other ‘Ark’.”
The man continued. “Got it, Minister Varo?”
However, before the man called Minister Varo could answer, suddenly there was a knock on the door of the conference room, then a security guard in a suit rushed in. He said in a panic, “Bad news, Mr. President. New York suddenly received an update that a man wearing black armor had breached the air defense network of the SFG military base at supersonic speed and arrived in the sky over New York!”
“What?”
Everyone’s expressions changed suddenly.
...
While an emergency meeting was being held in the East of Northern America to deal with this incident, Chen Chen had already arrived in the sky above New York City at this time.
As one of the most prosperous international cities in Northern America, New York was one of the symbols of Northern America. At the same time, this city was also the most important financial center on the east coast of the world.
At this time, in the PK Armor from the Predator dimension, Chen Chen’s headgear was displaying a radar image. In the image, there were three red dots in an array that were approaching ceaselessly and the PK Armor also automatically analyzed their speed. The speed of those red dots unexpectedly reached about twice the speed of sound.
“A new type of fighter jet in this world?”
Chen Chen suddenly became interested. In his original world, the fastest flying aircraft seemed to be called the MiG-25, but it was a reconnaissance type, and it had to be at high altitude.
Among the orthodox fighters, the fastest could reach about 2.5 times the speed of sound, which was Mach 2.5. If it were full of weapons, it would only reach Mach 1.5.
At this time, they were rushing toward him, so obviously they must be equipped. Nonetheless, their speed was still over Mach 2. This situation immediately aroused Chen Chen’s interest.
“Interesting.”
Chen Chen gave a low laugh. He dived and his Field suddenly made him swoop down quickly. In almost a few seconds, Chen Chen had landed on the most famous Brooklyn Bridge in New York!
“Boom!”
There was a violent vibration. Chen Chen’s landing directly created a huge deep hole on the bridge deck, exposing the steel bars as thick as a fist inside the bridge!
At the same time, three black dots quickly slashed across the sky, passing low above Chen Chen’s head as if this was a demonstration of force!
However, at the moment they passed over Chen Chen’s head, the three sights automatically popped out from Chen Chen’s back, locking onto the three fighters like a viper. In the next second, three azure blue lasers streaked through the sky and the three fighters practically exploded at the same moment!
“Boom!”
The flames blazed over the Brooklyn Bridge and all three fighters were wiped out!
“Oh my god!”
“Holy sh*t!”
Dozens of cars were blocked by Chen Chen’s figure and they had no choice but to stop. Several drivers got out of the car. Before they could say anything, they saw three fighter jets exploding above their heads. Suddenly, everyone could not help but exclaim from the heart.
“Oh, are there more?”
Three fighter jets had just exploded, but Chen Chen suddenly narrowed his eyes because more fighter jets were flying from afar. Not only that but behind the fighter jets, there were also rows of combat helicopters flying over. It was just that Chen Chen had landed on the Brooklyn Bridge, so they did not attack immediately.
However, when those fighters saw the fate of the first three planes, they immediately began to lift and passed over at a height of one thousand meters. As this distance was too far, they ultimately escaped Chen Chen’s laser strikes but the group of combat helicopters behind them suffered the subsequent catastrophe.
Chen Chen spread his hands and in the next second, he flew into the sky again, but this time more than a dozen cars took off with him. These cars seemed to have broken free of gravity and they rose to the sky simultaneously with Chen Chen. After that, they hurtled like cannonballs toward the helicopters hundreds of meters away!
“Boom!”
A few helicopters quickly dodged, but there were still a few helicopters that were hit by the high-speed cars and they erupted into a ball of fire on the spot!
It was not over yet. Everyone suddenly heard the vicious sound of tearing metal from the Brooklyn Bridge. Starting from where Chen Chen had flown, the bridge deck began to split apart bit by bit. At the same time, the suspension cables on both sides of the bridge also began to snap one by one at a visible speed!
These steel cables were like leather whips. As they lost their anchor, they popped out automatically, whipping past the bridge deck and the ocean. Dozens of cars were directly swept away on the spot!
Amid the cries and curses of countless people, the Brooklyn Bridge underwent an uncontrollable chain reaction and began to collapse!
“Oh my god, this simply can’t be real!”
The remaining combat helicopters could only stay far away. They hovered thousands of meters away from Chen Chen and watched the Brooklyn Bridge, one of the symbols of Northern America, collapse. Everyone looked terrified.
“Look, he’s flying away!”
A co-pilot said suddenly, “Where is he heading to?”
“That... Is the direction of downtown New York...”
...
“Boom!”
Chen Chen landed in the downtown area of ??New York. He looked around. This triangular street here was Times Square, known as the “crossroads of the world”.
