Chapter 12 - 【012】 Under attack by intercontinental ballistic missile! Evacuate immediately!

" Yixue, slow down, slow down!"

City Research Center, Presentation Hall.

Old Man Hua's heart nearly jumped out of his throat.

Looking at the panel data that was synced back on the screen, I was too horrified to look at it.

[Current Mode: Normal]

[Mech Stance: Dive]

[Back-mounted Engine 1 Thrust: 150 kN+]

[Second engine thrust: 150 kN+]

[Thrust of the No. 3 engine on the back: 165 kN+]

[Thrust of the No. 4 engine on the back: 165 kN+]

[Side engine thrust: 179 kN+]

[Aircraft attitude adjustment vector thrust:]

No. 1/30, No. 2/15, No. 3/45, No. 4/13, No. 5/22]

[Body temperature: 430℃]

[Speed: 4.1 mach ]

[Evaluation: Everything is normal!]

The speed is already 4 mach, and you call that normal?!

Old Man Hua felt his blood pressure spike too fast.

Their eyes were practically popping out of their sockets!

He swayed, and it looked like he was about to lose his footing.

Tong Yao hurriedly helped Old Man Hua up.

The researchers nearby quickly pushed over a stool.

Old Man Hua didn't even bother to sit down.

He grabbed the microphone, his face pale with rage, and roared wildly.

" Yixue, that's four times the speed of sound! Slow down, at that speed you could poke a hole in the earth's crust!"

His voice was hoarse and almost cracked.

Wang Yixue, however, was getting a little impatient and even felt that it could have been done faster.

I want to come back as soon as possible to see my grandfather who is still on oxygen.

"Grandpa Hua, don't worry! I'll talk to you later, I'm hanging up!"

"Huh? You??"

"Crack!"

The screen turned into a snowflake pattern.

Both audio and video signals were interrupted.

It was unilaterally cut off by the other party.

Old Man Hua looked at Tong Yao with a try-it-out mentality.

Before he could even speak, Tong Yao interrupted him.

" Old Man Hua, it's not that I'm bad at the technology, but a one-way connection will definitely not succeed, and trying won't help."

" Old Man Hua, the mech's data panel shows everything is normal, so don't worry!" the researcher next to him reassured him.

"Well, that's all we can do!"

Old Man Hua shook his head helplessly.

The reason he was so careful was that if anything happened to Wang Yixue, Old Wang would definitely fight him to the death.

Moreover, the advanced technology contained in this mech is likely decades ahead of current technology.

As long as the mechs return safely, they can be disassembled and studied.

To obtain the advanced technology within.

At that time, Xia Kingdom's technology will surely achieve a true leapfrog development.

We have been bullied by the US and Western powers for so many years.

How can I swallow this insult!

The opportunity is right in front of us; we must seize it, even if it means death!

In the sky.

Thick, black clouds covered the sky, pressing down low.

At noon, the sun was not visible.

"Sizzle—"

A golden lightning bolt traveled from one end of the dark cloud to the other.

The entire cloud layer had a chilling feel to it.

"Bang!"

A deep, muffled sound rang out.

The fiery red mech burst out of the clouds, smashing a hole through the dark clouds.

The electric arcs in the clouds seemed to be drawn towards the mecha in an instant.

But the mech was too fast, and in the blink of an eye it disappeared near the clouds.

Lightning couldn't catch up.

If lightning had feelings, it would be completely baffled.

What the hell is that? It's utterly unreasonable!

Wang Yixue casually stretched his arms, feeling a bit drowsy after driving at high intensity for so long.

Fortunately, we arrived quickly.

I glanced at the data panel.

[Body temperature: 580℃]

[Speed: 5.7 mach ]

This is the only one she can understand.

"The speed is 5.7, and it's still increasing, so it shouldn't be considered slow!"

It can actually go even faster.

In addition to the normal driving mode, there are two other modes: Master and King.

Even with the special protective stance of the cockpit, she couldn't quite handle the intense feeling of weightlessness.

She had a feeling that this was far from the limit of the mecha.

Unless their physical abilities are ten times stronger than they are now, the mechs can not truly demonstrate their original power.

Just as the mech, trailing a beautiful tail, was diving towards the ground...

A bright spot suddenly appeared on the air defense radar of the Zhonghai City Military Research Base.

The urgent air raid siren sounded.

"alarm!"

"alarm!"

"alarm!!"

"Phase-array radar system detection..."

"Attacked by an unidentified intercontinental ballistic missile, suspected of carrying a nuclear bomb!"

"All personnel are requested to proceed to civil defense facilities for evacuation within three minutes!"

"The countdown to disaster has begun."

"180s"

"179s"

"..."

The piercing sound of air raid sirens blared throughout the city.

Government officials, office workers, and small vendors all stopped what they were doing at that moment and panicked.

Official forces were quickly mobilized.

Save as many as you can within 3 minutes.

All civil defense facilities are now operational.

The subway station, which is usually taken for granted, has become the destination that everyone is rushing to at this moment.

Life is a race against time!

Inside the Military Research Base.

The instant the air raid siren sounded.

Old Man Hua suddenly sat up from his chair.

A sharp glint suddenly flashed in his aged eyes.

His previously cloudy pupils instantly became incredibly clear.

In critical moments, he is the backbone, and we must not lose our composure.

"Connect me immediately to the landline of the Research Base Air Defense and Defense Department!"

"beep--"

"Boss, something terrible has happened! Radar shows that the base has been locked onto by an enemy intercontinental ballistic missile."

"Analysis of computer thermal imaging data suggests that it is highly likely to carry a high-yield nuclear bomb! Preliminary estimates put it at five times the yield of the Hiroshima atomic bomb! An air raid siren has been automatically issued to the entire city."

What should we do now?

Old Man Hua was stunned, a chill running down his spine.

Intercontinental ballistic missile!

Could it be the US's latest Sentinel-2? But that shouldn't be the case!

Do they really have the guts to wage a war that would lead to direct destruction?

Moreover!

If it had been launched from the US or Russia, our airspace warning system should have detected it long ago.

wrong!

Something's not right; it seems like some part is missing...

Upon hearing that Old Man Hua remained silent on the phone, the person on the other end immediately offered some words of advice.

" Old Man Hua, there's no time to think about that now! The disaster countdown is down to two minutes! You'd better get into the air-raid shelter right away!"

"It doesn't matter if we sacrifice ourselves, you are the backbone of our country, and we cannot afford to lose you!"

Please!

Not only on the other end of the phone, but also the researchers next to Old Man Hua were all going up to drag him away.

Even if it means carrying him, we must carry this 70-year-old man to the air-raid shelter.

" Old Man Hua …"

A familiar voice rang out.

After breathing oxygen for half a day, Old Wang finally recovered quite a bit and walked over quickly.

"Old Wang!"

Old Man Hua's eyes lit up, thinking to himself that he had come at the perfect time.

"Old Wang, you should know what happened. What's your guess?"

"Hey! Is there even a need to guess? The mechs must be back!"

"ah???"

Countless people were suddenly stunned.
