Apocalypse: The Stronghold System

Chapter 097: A Brief Meeting

Before going to the Mothership, Fan Chen picked up Fan Xiaoyu who had long wanted to see him head-on, but he said to keep quiet while wearing the HK Armor, and let Xiaochu take over.

Although reluctant, Fan Xiaoyu could only nod and accept, as long as it could board the long-awaited Anti-Gravity Mothership.

With a speed of Mach 2, to reach the Anti-Gravity Mothership at an altitude of 10,000 meters from the ground level, it only takes 16 seconds, but with acceleration that takes a little more time, will at least spend 18 — 19 seconds to arrive.

Fan Chen and Fan Xiaoyu had already passed through the cloud ranks, they saw the Anti-Gravity Mothership that was coated with a ball-shaped red beam with high temperature, until it made the surrounding air distorted.

"Gee ..." Fan Xiaoyu showed an astonished expression as he looked at the Mother Ship. "It's huge, but Big Brother, what's lining this up?"

"Plasma Protector." Fan Chen replied while asking Xiaochu to open the protector, then he brought Fan Xiaoyu after the Plasma Protector opened and added, "The temperature is between 10,000 — 15,000° Celsius, it could withstand a mutant beast attack like a laser beam, or burn a mutant beast trying to crash into it."

Fan Xiaoyu nodded her head when landing on the Mothership, then she walked following her brother who entered into “Pulau”.

The HK Armor they used was opened immediately after the hatch door was closed, locking oxygen in it so as not to come out, then the HK Armor was again stored in the Inventory.

Fan Xiaoyu hugged Fan Chen's arm while looking around. "Sister, Yu'er wants to stay here."

Fan Chen rubbed Fan Xiaoyu's head, smiled faintly and said, "It's not a suitable residence, the resources here are limited, and there is no need to be a suitable residence, and you can only be indoors because the oxygen levels outside are so thin. Moreover, this place is a Mother Ship, only professionals can stay here, and this place is very dangerous, often the target of many mutant beasts."

Fan Xiaoyu rolled her eyes and snorted. "Say Brother won't allow Yu'er." He was annoyed, but he knew that this place was not suitable for him who did not feel at home in the room. Even in Mingyue Defense he was very, very bored, especially in an enclosed space without being able to see the sunlight.

Fan Chen smiled faintly, rubbing his sister's head. "When the underground city is over, you can stay there for years, even manage the affairs there."

Fan Xiaoyu was silent, feeling goosebumps all over her body, and she was determined to no longer follow her curiosity, which could end badly. Although he knew his brother was joking, but there were times when it was as serious as it is today, his HK Armor was still confiscated!

Looking at the silent Fan Xiaoyu with his head bowed, Fan Chen smiled without saying anything, until he finally reached the Meeting Room on the Mothership.

The iron door opened while scanning for Fan Chen's arrival.

General Luo and Yu Wang stood up upon seeing Fan Chen's arrival, they saluted the military.

Fan Chen gave the same salute, then asked them to sit back. Then he sat down where there were chairs surrounding the round table, in the middle of which there was a glass which was a holographic device.

General Luo Ti looked at Fan Xiaoyu, then looked back at Fan Chen.

Fan Chen realized General Luo's gaze which revealed a question, he smiled faintly and said, "He's my younger brother, he used to be a member of the Intelligence Department, but is now moving to the Life Science Division within the Science Department."

"All right ..." General Luo nodded small. "Then, let's start the meeting ..."

"The captain asked us to monitor the South China Sea, the Pacific Ocean and the Mariana Trench. For the South China Sea can be well monitored because the distance from here to there is only 858 kilometers, but for the Mariana Trench, about 2,940 kilometers, let alone the Pacific Ocean, it is too far ..."

"But according to the data Xiaochu took after breaking through the data defense in the State Intelligence Department, we found a change in the Rising Sun Country. We suspect, a mutant beast of the Sixth level has already started to land on the beach."

General Luo Ti had already predicted this question. "Although our technology is more advanced, but our camera monitoring is only able to capture images with a distance of 2,000 meters, so to monitor the Capital City of the Rising Sun Country, Edo, we have to go through the Imperial City. After all, the Imperial City was the center of the Chinese State, and despite the many disasters, they still had an Ace. We also realize that they still have military bases in friendly countries ..." He looked at Yu Wang.

Yu Wang nodded, and then replaced General Luo to explain, "The ones ascending to Edo came from the mutant beasts that were in the Pacific Ocean, but to Sakurajima, the one who came up to Edo came from the mutant beasts that were in the Pacific Ocean, we can monitor it because it is only 1,452 kilometers from Guangdong ..."

"According to the ultrasonic waves that we managed to capture and decipher, this mutant beast is called the Octopus King and possesses Sixth level power. He came to Sakurajima to retrieve the volcano's heat source."

Fan Chen looked at the projected image of the Octopus King, and there was also a video of the Octopus King raising its tentacles, then releasing a laser shot from the suction device on his arm.

Seeing this, Fan Chen felt a sense of unease and a sense of urgency in the development of Mingyue Defense weapon which he thought was currently still not good enough to fight the Octopus King.

General Luo looked at the silent Fan Chen, and he said, "Captain, I know that the Captain has ordered us to attack the mutant beasts with the Railgun, Laser Weapon as well as the Plasma Cannon. But, there are some things that must require permission from the Captain, as it is today."

Fan Chen knew what General Luo had meant. There were indeed some things that could not be done at will, even if it was a Full General who was the Head of the Air Force. As of now, the information on mutant beasts was extremely limited, and when finding a Sixth level Mutant Beast (Level 120+), one would naturally have to wait for orders, or at least not kill him directly to get more information.

Fan Chen pondered with his eyes closed, he thought of the pros and cons in the decision he would take later.

In just one minute, he had already made up his mind. He opened his eyes, looking at General Luo and Yu Wang across the table. "For the time being, observe in advance, continue to report the rise in the nuclear energy of the Octopus King while absorbing the heat energy from Mount Sakurajima. But, if it's over 1,800 kilometers, kill it right away."

General Luo and Yu Wang stood up by stomping their feet. ""Okay, Captain!""

Fan Chen stood up, gave the same military salute, then he turned around when he knew that there was no other information.

Fan Xiaoyu saluted General Luo and Yu Wang, then followed Fan Chen.

Fan Chen himself wanted to go to the Astronomy and Astrology Laboratory here, which monitored the state of the starry ceilings, especially the current state of the Solar System.

Although he knows not yet maximized in monitoring because there is still no space telescope, but the scientists should be able to estimate the future state through celestial objects that can be seen by the naked eye, but scientists should be able to estimate the future state through the celestial body that can be seen by the naked eye, and with the help of Xiaochu who was able to do quick calculations with big data, it should be enough to get the related data.

But what makes him most curious is SN 1987A. The radio waves were captured from there, which likely contained important information.

"Why didn't Big Brother give the order to kill him outright?"

Fan Chen turned his head to the left, staring at Fan Xiaoyu. "Sixth Level, we still don't have any information about it, and we don't know how they absorb the heat energy in Mount Sakurajima. So for the time being, we're monitoring it until we get some valuable information, and once the information is gathered, as long as it's within range, we'll kill it."

"so." Fan Xiaoyu nodded her head, and no longer asked, but sped up her pace.
