At the same time, an ear-piercing alarm sounded in the command center. Red warning signs appeared on the holographic screen at a dozen locations around the Pacific Ocean.
The female officer's expression changed. She quickly reported.
"More wormholes have been detected. It's those unmanned mechs!"
The other bases also sent in reports, requesting to be deployed to stop the unmanned mechs. However, they were all rejected by Pockmarked Sen.
In truth, Pockmarked Sen was also shouldering a great deal of pressure. Although she agreed with Chen Mo's plan, she was also aware of the great risks involved. If the plan failed, the final outcome would be devastating!
The Pioneers' conspiracy had been brewing for ten years. It was definitely not as simple as it seemed. If things went wrong, the entire world would be destroyed!
However, Pockmarked Sen's heart remained firm.
She turned to look at Chen Mo's tall and imposing figure beside her. The uneasiness and worry in her heart gradually dissipated.
Chen Mo had protected Earth for thousands of years, repelling the invasions of extraterrestrial forces time and time again. She believed that this time would be no exception. Under Chen Mo's leadership, they would definitely thwart the Pioneers' conspiracy and completely eliminate this huge threat from the extraterrestrial planets!
As the Monster Mech continued to expand the blue light beams from the centre to the periphery, the surface area of the wormhole grew larger and larger. Furthermore, from time to time, there would be flashes of blue lightning flashing through it. The seawater above the wormhole formed a huge whirlpool that kept spinning and boiling.
As the number of unmanned mechs deployed had been reduced by half, the speed at which the monster mechs opened the wormhole was much slower than originally planned. However, the mechs from the nearby bases did not come to stop them. After some time, they successfully expanded the wormhole to a size large enough for the monster mechs to pass through.
A huge claw reached out from the wormhole and grabbed at the bottom of the sea outside the wormhole. Then, a huge head with a ferocious horn emerged from the wormhole. It looked like a prehistoric beast that had crawled out from the bottom of the sea!
The monster's head alone was almost half the size of a mech. One could only imagine its size.
As the wormhole continued to expand, the monster finally climbed out of the wormhole. Its huge body stood tall in the sea. The sea water, which was not deeper than the Monster Mech's thighs, only reached its knees.
It was over 170 meters tall and was at least a powerful Level 5 monster. It might even be a Level 6 monster that had never appeared before!
As the gigantic beast crawled out of the wormhole, the detection devices of the various bases sounded alarms.
In Mo Yulan's base, the female officer behind the control panel immediately reported anxiously.
"A monster crawled out of the wormhole! Judging from its energy response, it's even stronger than the Level 5 Poisonous Woman from ten years ago. It's the strongest Level 5 monster that has ever appeared! "
General Quan and Pockmarked Sen's expressions changed upon hearing this.
At that time, the Level 5 monster, Poisonous Woman, could survive the explosion of a nuclear bomb. In the end, it was killed by the Wandering Avenger in a suicidal manner.
This was only the first monster that appeared, and it was already so powerful. Now, there were more than a dozen opened wormholes in the entire Pacific Rim region. If these wormholes were not closed as soon as possible, more monsters would appear!
At this moment, Shao Liwen's call came in again.
"I've completed the mecha's self-destruct program. I can shut down the mecha at any time!"
Pockmarked Sen and General Quan could not help but breathe a sigh of relief. As long as these mechas were destroyed, the opened wormholes would also close. Even if some monsters crawled out, they could send mechas to eliminate them one by one.
However, to General Quan's surprise, Chen Mo did not directly ask Shao Liwen to shut down the mecha. Instead, he said calmly.
"Very well, wait for my order."
General Quan immediately asked Chen Mo with a puzzled expression.
"Why don't you just shut down the mecha?"
Chen Mo looked straight into his eyes and said slowly with a calm expression.
"It's not time yet!"
Although General Quan was anxious, he glanced at Pockmarked Sen standing next to him and remembered what she said to him before. He hesitated for a moment and did not continue to speak. However, his eyes were still fixed on the situation displayed on the screen. His expression was incomparably serious.
After the first monster crawled out of the wormhole, while Chen Mo and Shao Liwen were talking, another six monsters appeared one after another. Moreover, this number was still rising at an extremely fast speed!
Eight monsters! Nine monsters! Ten monsters! …
In just a short minute, the number of monsters had rapidly increased to twenty. At least one monster crawled out of every wormhole!
As the number of monsters continued to increase, General Quan's forehead was covered in sweat. The major bases kept sending out requests to fight, but they were all rejected by Pockmarked Sen. However, she knew that she could not continue to suppress the situation for too long.
As the number of monsters increased, the major bases were faced with increasing pressure. Once the number of monsters near the bases exceeded the limit of the hunter mechas, the situation would very likely be out of control.
Therefore, no matter how high her prestige in the Pacific Rim Joint Military Defense Force was, if the situation continued to develop like this, sooner or later, the bases would not be able to withstand the pressure and would disobey her orders to send mechas to attack the wormhole!
"The number of monsters has increased to thirty!"
The female officer's voice trembled as she reported.
Chen Mo, on the other hand, did not seem to have heard anything. He still stood there quietly as before, and did not order Shao Liwen to turn off the mecha.
If it were not for the fact that Chen Mo had won the trust of General Quan and Pockmarked Sen, they would have suspected that Chen Mo was in cahoots with Pioneer.
As the number of monsters crawled out of the wormhole reached forty, even with Pockmarked Sen's suppression, the bases could not help but disobey orders and send mechas to attack the wormhole!
"Six mechas from the Los Angeles Base have disobeyed orders to fight!"
"Five mechas from the Anchorage Base have joined the battle!"
The female officer hurriedly reported.
Pockmarked Sen frowned but did not say anything. This was within her expectations. She just hoped that it would not affect Chen Mo's plan.
Pockmarked Sen could not help but turn to look at Chen Mo. She found that his expression did not change at all. He was not angered by the attacks of the two bases. She could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Although the two bases had sent mechas, the wormhole was still some distance away from the base. As the mechas were on their way to the wormhole, the number of monsters continued to increase.
"The number of monsters has reached fifty!"
The female officer continued to report, and a hint of panic appeared on her face.
