AWB Chapter 427: Prelude to the Final Battle
Chapter 427: Prelude to the Final Battle
The plot on the screen continues to unfold.
Switch back to the Taiwan base of the Xia Kingdom Scientific Analysis Center and the Youth Elite Team.
In several special effects battle scenes, everyone can see:
With the rare collaboration between the defense force and the elite team, and the power of the newly developed Chaos Destruction Enzyme Missile.
The Chaos virus, which had been ravaging the Earth, has finally been completely eradicated.
Everyone is working hard now. Even Musashi's childhood friend, Hikaru, who was the pilot of the Waltz during the Juran crisis, has brought back intelligence from outer space about how other civilizations are dealing with the Chaos virus.
Although this intelligence still needs further deciphering, it has given everyone a lot of confidence.
Inside the base, everyone was cheering and celebrating this hard-won victory.
However, amidst this sea of joy, Captain Qingguang's expression appeared unusually solemn.
At the meeting with the defense forces, he first affirmed the success of the previous operations.
But there are many more chaotic viruses stirring.
Real-time images transmitted back by the holographic astronomical observation network.
Captain Qingguang pointed to an area on the star map that was flashing a blinding red light, and sternly revealed the real crisis at hand:
"Although the Chaos virus has been almost completely eradicated from Earth, it still exists at the cosmic coordinate point P87."
"A massive, even unprecedented, cluster of Chaos viruses has still gathered here!"
"The intense energy they emit is constantly influencing the subterranean monsters on Earth, making them irritable and restless!"
"No one can predict when these massive viral aggregates will visit Earth again."
"Therefore, we must press on and completely eradicate the Chaos virus in the universe!"
Immediately afterwards, Captain Qingguang began to explain the mission, known as the "Final Annihilation Battle," to everyone in detail.
Meanwhile, at the headquarters of the elite youth team, Tsuchikage was also explaining the next steps for the battle.
"Our spacecraft fighter jets are already equipped with the maximum capacity of Chaos Destruction Enzyme."
Tu Jing pointed to the Tektronix thruster model on the holographic projection, his expression becoming unusually serious:
"Once the Thunder Strike is launched, the space capsule fighter will detach from the main body as soon as it reaches the P87 cosmic coordinates."
"Then, the fighter jets will fire directly into the virus's core region at P87's cosmic coordinates!"
"Due to the detonation device, the exploding spaceship fighter jet will instantly release a massive amount of Chaos destruction enzymes, thereby completely annihilating the Chaos virus gathered there!"
Accompanied by the narration of the earthen landscape, the video screen features a highly imposing 3D demonstration animation.
A lone fighter jet, like a moth drawn to a flame, hurtled towards the vast, despair-inducing dark red nebula, before bursting into a dazzling blue light at its core.
Upon seeing this, the audience instantly realized the cruel truth behind the plan.
[Holy crap! Does this mean they're going to use an airplane to detonate a missile that destroys the enzyme?]
This is a suicide attack!
Kamikaze Special Forces, activate!
[Someone has to pilot a fighter jet loaded with explosives to crash into the virus cluster; this is absolutely a one-way battle!]
[With this kind of isolated and deep-penetrating attack, the driver probably had no chance of survival.]
[Unless Gauss himself goes.]
As predicted by the comments, when the topic of who would be the pilot for this life-or-death mission came up, the atmosphere in the command room instantly plummeted to freezing point.
"Let me go!"
A resolute voice broke the silence.
The Wind Blower team member was the first to step forward, his eyes showing no fear whatsoever.
"After breaking through the atmosphere, we need to avoid the interception and attack of the Chaos virus and look for opportunities to counterattack."
Feng Chui casually straightened his team uniform, his tone as confident as ever:
"This kind of precise micro-management is absolutely impossible for self-driving cars."
"My piloting skills are the most proficient, making me the most suitable pilot for this mission."
"Leave the task to me, I'll do it myself."
Feng Chui stared directly at Captain Qingguang, awaiting approval.
However, Captain Haruka rejected him without hesitation.
"I'm sorry, the wind is blowing, so you can't go this time."
Captain Qingguang walked up to Fengchui, patted him on the shoulder, and then turned around.
His gaze swept over everyone present, and he announced in a resounding voice:
"Because I'll be carrying out this mission."
"The captain's going?!"
Everyone exclaimed in unison.
"But Captain, this is too dangerous!"
Musashi Kazefuki anxiously tried to stop him.
"It is precisely because of the danger that I cannot entrust it to any of you!"
Captain Qingguang's tone left no room for doubt, demonstrating the deepest sense of responsibility of a commander.
"The Tektronix propulsion system is loaded with a large amount of explosives, which could explode at any moment should the Chaos virus launch an attack."
"My mind is made up, there's no need to persuade me anymore."
At this moment, Captain Qingguang's resolute figure was stretched infinitely on the screen.
Knowing it was a near-certain death sentence, he still chose to shoulder it all himself! Captain, you bastard!
[I'm so touched! Captain Qingguang always seems so cheerful, but he really steps up when it matters!]
As night fell, the Treasure Island base was completely silent.
Musashi sat alone in the dimly lit command room, the screen in front of him flashing data about the Chaos virus.
His brows were furrowed, and his eyes were filled with painful confusion.
Tomorrow, Captain Qingguang will launch the final battle against the Chaos virus, and he doesn't have much time left to think.
"Why...must humanity and the Chaos virus fight to the death?"
Musashi muttered to himself, as if two forces were tearing him apart inside.
Why can't the two coexist peacefully?
"Where exactly does the problem lie?"
Just then, the door to the command room was gently pushed open, and Rena walked in.
He had originally wanted to make some jokes with Musashi to lighten the mood, but seeing Musashi's somber expression, Rena didn't know what to do.
"Still thinking about tomorrow?"
Rena walked over to Musashi and gently comforted him.
"The captain has made up his mind. All we can do now is believe in him and support him."
Musashi took the coffee, shook his head with a wry smile.
Rena understood Musashi's feelings: "Musashi, I understand how you feel, but right now we have to think about the battle. You're not the only one who feels lost."
After all, their elite youth team was initially just a team to protect monsters, not one that specialized in combat.
It was only the series of events brought about by the Chaos virus that gradually led them down this path...
"Me too...we all are."
Musashi left the command room and walked alone down the corridor, pondering Rena's words.
Suddenly he heard the voices of Captain Haruka and Vice Captain Mizuha coming from around the corner in the distance.
Faced with such a dangerous mission tomorrow, Vice Captain Mizuha still had reservations.
"I still cannot agree with this method of warfare that involves absolute annihilation."
"Perhaps it's too late for me to offer any opinions now, but I always feel that there must be other paths we can take."
Captain Qingguang nodded:
"But this isn't our real mission."
"Our real mission should be to protect the monsters."
"But we have been constantly fighting the Chaos virus."
Captain Qingguang sighed.
"Sometimes I'm startled to realize I've forgotten my mission..."
"But this is also..."
"You want to say, but this is something we had no choice but to do, right?"
Seeing the vice-captain hesitate to speak, Captain Qingguang revealed his usual gentle smile.
"That's all I can say. But I won't use the word 'forced' in front of my teammates. I just don't want to put them in such danger in order to complete the mission of defeating the enemy."
[It's already the finale, and Musashi's getting a bit stubborn. How are you going to coexist with a virus?]
He's just too gentle. His principles have been consistent from the very first episode until now. If even he were to give up, then Gauss's soul would be gone.
But with a formidable enemy at hand, now is not the time to hesitate! Tomorrow, the captain is going to risk his life!
[The fact that a group of non-combatants were sent down this path demonstrates just how threatening Chaos is.]
Sigh, the captain is an honest and kind person.
