It was very difficult to train a Hunter pilot, so the number of Hunter pilots was very limited. Because of this, the number of Hunter pilots that could be used in battle was never enough to meet the need for defense.
The Pacific Rim Joint Military Defense Force could only deploy four to seven Mech Hunters in the eight major bases of the Pacific Rim. When a monster attack occurred within the scope of the base, large transport helicopters would lift the Mech to participate in the battle, which would take a long time.
If the monsters attacked a city too far away from the base, the city would have already suffered great damage by the time the Hunter pilots arrived.
The Hunter pilots could be deployed in large numbers in the major cities of the Pacific Rim. During battle, the pilots could directly control the Hunter pilots from afar. This solved the problem of the Hunter pilots taking too long to deploy.
However, Pockmarked Sen was not optimistic about the Hunter pilots. Although the remote control system could reduce the requirements for the pilots, it also had a lot of drawbacks.
Since the pilots could not directly control the Hunter pilots, the remote control system could be hacked or interfered with. If the Hunter pilots were to take control of the Hunter pilots, it could lead to devastating consequences.
Ten years ago, the Leatherback Tortoise that attacked Hong Kong had the ability to emit electromagnetic pulses. It could also cut off the remote control system and render the Hunter pilots useless.
Although almost half of the committee members supported the Hunter pilots, Pockmarked Sen, as the secretary of the Pacific Rim Joint Military Defense Force, had veto power. The final decision was still in her hands.
After repeatedly studying the feasibility of the Hunter pilots, Pockmarked Sen decided to reject the deployment plan.
"Attention, we will arrive at our destination in two minutes."
The broadcast in the cabin sounded. Pockmarked Sen could not help but look out the window.
Through the porthole, Pockmarked Sen saw the tall and mighty Hunter pilots standing in the square of the Pacific Rim Joint Military Defense Force headquarters. A gentle smile appeared on her face.
Her only family member now, her younger brother Jack Pantekoster, was piloting the Vengeful Wanderer.
Jack was not her biological brother, but her adoptive father's son.
Pockmarked Sen's parents had died in a monster attack when she was young. She was then adopted by the commander of the Pacific Rim Joint Military Defense Force, General Sterk Pantekoster, who trained her to be an excellent Hunter pilot.
Ten years ago, General Pantekoster blew up the Eureka Raider in the battle to destroy the underwater wormhole. He died together with the monster. Jack was Pockmarked Sen's only family member left.
Pockmarked Sen had been very protective of his younger brother since they were young, but Jack was a constant source of worry.
Jack was originally a student of the Hunter Academy, and like his father, he was very talented in all aspects. He could have become an excellent Mech Hunter pilot, but due to his rebellious personality, he left the Hunter Academy in the end and mingled in society.
Relying on his familiarity with Mecha Hunters, Jack often sneaked into the decommissioned Mecha scrap yard to steal Mecha parts for sale.
Many people wanted to own their own mecha, so mecha parts were expensive on the black market. However, it was illegal to own a mecha privately. Stealing and selling mecha parts was also a crime.
Jack had been caught many times over the years. Every time he was caught, it was Pockmarked Sen who fished him out.
Not long ago, Jack had once again been caught stealing mecha parts. Moreover, he had been caught red-handed in an illegal mecha made by a little girl. The situation was even more serious than when he had simply stolen mecha parts.
This time, Pockmarked Sen did not bail Jack out directly like before. Instead, he took the opportunity to force Jack to rejoin the Hunter Academy and help train Mecha Hunter students.
The genius girl who had been caught with Jack, and who had made a small agile mecha all by herself, Amala, had also joined the Hunter Academy with Jack and became his student.
During the Pacific Rim Joint Military Defense Force Summit this time, Pockmarked Sen had specially requested the Vengeful Wanderer to be the honorary guard of the venue.
One of the original pilots of the Vengeful Wanderer had been poached by the Shao Enterprise. The remaining pilots, Nate and Jack, happened to be partners in the past. The two of them were able to communicate well and control the Vengeful Wanderer perfectly.
Hence, the scene today was what had happened.
After ten years of rebellion and degradation, Jack had finally returned to the right track and became a Mecha Hunter pilot.
Pockmarked Sen had put in a lot of effort for Jack.
Looking at the Vengeful Wanderer piloted by Jack standing in the square of the Pacific Rim Joint Military Defense Force Headquarters, Pockmarked Sen was relieved.
Her adoptive father, General Sterk Pantecost, had sacrificed himself to save the entire human race. She did not want to see her only son degenerate like this.
In the past ten years, she had worried a lot about Jack. She had tried all kinds of methods but to no avail. This time, she had finally succeeded.
However, just as Pockmarked Sen was feeling relieved, she suddenly noticed something strange happening in the sky outside the helicopter.
Countless white seagulls were chirping as they flew from the coast, as if they were avoiding something.
Seeing this strange situation, Pockmarked Sen could not help but frown. He had a bad feeling about this.
On the ground, Shao Enterprise's boss, Shao Liwen, who had just gotten out of the car under the protection of her bodyguards, also noticed the abnormality in the sky. She could not help but look in the direction of the seagulls. It was the direction of Sydney's iconic building, the Sydney Opera House.
In the cockpit of the Vengeful Wanderer, Nate could not help but speak.
"The Vengeful Wanderer is calling the command center. What's the situation?"
Before the command center could answer, there was a change on the coast.
In the bay in front of the Sydney Opera House, a huge black shadow was moving rapidly underwater towards the shore. Soon, it arrived in front of the Opera House.
Immediately, the black shadow broke through the water surface and detonated under the sea like a bomb. A large amount of seawater was lifted into the air by its huge body and scattered in all directions, forming a white water curtain.
The huge black shadow stood up directly from the water curtain, revealing its true appearance. It turned out to be a pure black Hunter Mech.
Its body was very large, nearly 90 meters tall. It was even taller than the Vengeful Wanderer, the tallest Hunter Mech in the Pacific Rim Joint Military Defense Force.
The countless seagulls that fled in panic just now should have been scared away by this behemoth from the sea.
This tall black Mech stood up from the bay. It could sail on large cruise ships. The sea water that was nearly 20 meters deep didn't even reach its knees.
