Being an otaku in the world of American comics

#839 - Naval Battle A, Land Battle C

"It appeared! The underwater space gate is reacting!"

Along with the loud report of a soldier on duty, many people in the small town refocused their attention on the panoramic sand table under a stone gazebo near the ranch wall.

A few minutes later, a group of officers, experts, and superhumans from relevant departments gathered.

Of course, Liang Yue, the owner of the place, was also present.

However, he had now been relegated to a supporting role, or rather, willingly took on that role, simply standing in front watching the changes on the sand table without saying a word.

After all, these monsters were just insects to him now, easily crushed at any time.

He could even casually close the space gate at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean, but he hadn't done so because he intended to let humanity on Earth experience the atmosphere of an alien invasion in advance.

In addition, the unknown civilization on the other side of the space gate had a very unique development path. Monster sieges were indeed a pretty good target for hatred for the current Earth.

"The monster has appeared!"

"Looking at its size, it seems to be larger than the one the Americans blew up before!"

"Yeah! It feels like its bones are more prominent, and its muscle tissue is a bit less."

"It's starting to move!"

"This time, the direction it's chosen is… East Asia?"

"Is it coming for us? But we can't rule out the possibility of it changing direction midway."

"We can't take chances. Immediately notify the higher-ups to prepare to intercept this monster. Also, it's best to dispatch a spaceship to stand by."

"According to its current speed, it will only take about four to five hours to reach the vicinity of the East China Sea!"

"The speed is getting faster!"

"It seems that the aliens on the other side of the space gate are likely to continuously upgrade and adjust these monsters."

"…"

Three hours later…

"Quick, look! The monster has turned towards the South China Sea."

"The final landing point might be the Philippines."

"But our country's terrain is different from America's. The straight-line distance from the eastern coast to the desert is thousands of miles. What if something unexpected happens during this time?"

"Don't worry, there won't be any accidents. This distance is only a few minutes for a spaceship."

"…"

So, about five minutes later, the monster was smoothly transported from high altitude to the western desert…

To be precise, the Tarim Basin, even further west than Lop Nur…

The monster was dropped directly into the center of the desert from a height of several thousand meters.

Given the monster's body structure, it might be able to travel thousands of miles a day in water, but if it were placed on land in the desert, it wouldn't be able to walk out in ten days or half a month relying solely on its four legs.

This left China with ample preparation time to mobilize its military, operate its weapons, and also take the opportunity to observe how the opponent would react in the desert and hot climate conditions.

The current season was midsummer. Although the area of the Taklamakan Desert was not comparable to the Sahara, its harsh conditions were even worse.

I don't know if this terrain environment, which is a disaster for humans, can be adapted to by the monster~

Soon, about half an hour later, China's firepower was fully assembled.

Various rocket launchers, heavy artillery, tanks, armored vehicles, fighter jets, etc., were all ready to go, and drove into a military base in the western region in a mighty manner.

Ten Airbus flying cars, which had just come off the production line from a secret manufacturing base in the country not long ago, had also arrived in the sky above the base, carrying various secret weapons.

However, they did not attack rashly at this time, but waited for orders, staying in place to observe the monster's reaction.

A group of experts and leaders were currently staying far away at Liang Yue's farm in the northwest of Lop Nur, paying attention to the monster's movements through the panoramic sand table at all times.

This monster, which was more than a hundred meters long but looked a little thin, was dragging a slender tail behind it, walking slowly in the desert, with all four limbs on the ground.

The moving speed was not slow, but it was definitely not fast. There was a slight incoordination between the movements of its feet.

It was probably injured when it fell from the sky~

Its entire body was covered with thick, cyan-black skin, which looked very tough and heavy at a glance. On its spine, there was also a row of thick and hideous bone spurs.

Being in the scorching desert, the monster also seemed a little sluggish. In the time of half an hour, it had only walked a few dozen miles~

"…"

"It seems that this thing is indeed a monster that mainly fights in the water. Although it has a certain land combat capability, long-distance raids are not its strength."

"We can only say that this monster is like this. I heard that when the space gate was first opened, the first monster was crushed by the water pressure as soon as it came over. That one should be good at land combat."

"That's right. Judging from the current invasion pattern, the aliens on the other side of the space gate should have very strong biological modification capabilities and can continuously improve this biological weapon according to the external environment."

"I don't know when this will end~"

"If we want to completely defeat them, we can only close the space gate at the bottom of the sea, but with the current level of technological development of our humans, our underwater combat capabilities have always been our weakness.

Using submarines to fight these monsters in the water, I'm afraid we will suffer losses."

"Another thing is that we are not sure whether the alien civilization on the other side will reopen it after we close that space gate with violent means."

"In this way, this may be a long-term war game."

"…"

"Xiao Liang, I don't know if you have any way to solve this alien invasion of the world?"

Obviously, the group of domestic officials discussing countermeasures in front of the panoramic sand table did not take the monster struggling in the desert seriously.

But they seemed a little worried about the foreseeable long-term war of attrition with the aliens.

So, after a group of people discussed for a moment, one of the high-ranking elders actually looked at Liang Yue, who was on the side.

As his voice fell, everyone present looked at him in unison.

"It's very simple to solve this invasion. Just wipe out the aliens on the other side together, but I don't want to do that now. Leaving Earth with a common enemy is actually quite good."

"…"
