Chapter 92 hit successfully, but failed to break through the defense.
Above the city, Daigo piloted the Victory Flying Swallow 1 at breakneck speed toward the direction of the monster's signal. However, as soon as he got close, the aircraft's communication equipment was severely jammed, and despite his shouts, there was no response.
"Daigo, activate the satellite channel and contact headquarters first," Horii said calmly, activating the satellite channel.
"Understood, satellite channel is now open," Daigo replied, while focusing intently on piloting the aircraft.
Horii quickly informed headquarters about the signal interference, and then he and Daigo prepared to intercept the monster.
"Daigo, let's attack the monster first and wait for the commander's support," Horii gave the order.
"Understood!" Daigo adjusted the angle, and after finding the attack position with Horii, he decisively opened fire. Several laser beams shot out instantly, accurately hitting the monster's abdomen. However, disappointingly, this seemingly fierce attack did not cause much substantial damage to the monster; instead, it thoroughly enraged it. The Jobelie charged towards Unit 1 like an arrow released from a bow. With his sharp reflexes, Daigo quickly pushed the control stick upwards, and the Flying Swallow 1 narrowly avoided the fatal blow.
Horii didn't let his guard down at all. Taking advantage of the moment when the monster's attack missed, he pressed the fire button, and a laser beam shot towards the monster again. But such an attack was like a mosquito bite to the monster, only making it pause for a brief moment before it resumed its ferocious movements.
"No, his shell is too hard. There's no way to inflict any effective damage." Horii carefully examined the several hit points through the sight and shook his head helplessly.
While keeping an eye on the monster's movements, Daigo said anxiously, "Oh no, the monster is ignoring our attacks and is heading towards the houses."
"Commander, how much longer until you arrive?" Daigo asked headquarters.
Munakata's calm voice came through: "Daigo, hold on for a few more minutes."
In the distance, the residents watched the approaching monster, their faces pale with terror. One man's reaction was particularly intense, and Lin Yeming gleaned the gist of the situation from his fragmented words. It turned out that this man had just spent all his life savings on a house, only to be met with such misfortune; he was now on the verge of fainting.
Lucia, unable to bear it any longer, asked Lin Yeming, "Yeming, is there any way to stop the monster from advancing?"
After a moment of contemplation, Lin Yeming connected with Horii's signal and said, "Horii, attack the monster's eyes directly! Make sure to buy them time and wait for the commander to arrive."
"Will this work?" Lucia asked worriedly.
Lin Yeming smiled confidently: "Of course, this is called attacking where the enemy must defend!"
"Understood!" Daigo responded without hesitation, then boldly piloted the Flying Swallow 1 towards the monster. Horii, seeing this, broke out in a cold sweat, secretly surprised that Daigo's flying skills had become so aggressive. However, he quickly recovered and joined Daigo in the attack.
"Good heavens, Horii!" Daigo exclaimed.
"Understood!" Horii fired decisively, a laser beam striking the monster's face precisely, producing a sizzling sound. The monster cried out in pain, quickly covering its face with its arms. Horii could only wait for the next opportunity to attack. At that moment, the monster howled in agony, a sound that gave the distant residents a glimmer of hope. They cheered, believing that the GUTS team might actually be able to defeat the monster.
Just then, Victory Swallow II arrived in time and fired the Texas Cannon at the monster. This attack did cause some damage to the monster, but unfortunately it was not fatal.
Enraged, the monster unleashed a powerful burst of energy towards Unit 2.
Fortunately, Lina reacted quickly and skillfully dodged the attack by turning to the side. The energy blasted a deep crater in the distance.
The Texas Cannon needed time to recharge, and seeing this, Shinjo decisively used laser beams to retaliate. Several beams hit the monster in succession, and smoke instantly spread over the monster.
But when the smoke cleared and they examined the wound, they found that it was just some scales that had been scratched off the monster's tough skin.
"Such tough skin, what should we do, Commander?" Shinjo anxiously asked Munakata about the next battle plan, while the situation remained extremely tense.
Zong Fang frowned, pondered for a moment, and then calmly gave the order: "Flying Swallow One, continue attacking the monster's eyes to attract its attention. Flying Swallow Two, circle around to the side and find the weak point in its shell. Once the Texas Cannon is fully charged, deliver the fatal blow."
"Received!" Daigo and Rena responded in unison.
Daigo piloted the Flying Swallow 1, charging once again toward the monster's eyes, nimbly dodging its flailing arms while continuously firing lasers. Horii nervously assisted from the side, closely monitoring all the data.
"Daigo, watch out on the left!" Horii shouted.
Daigo swerved sharply to the left, and an energy wave grazed past the Flying Swallow No. 1. He steadied the aircraft and continued toward the target. Several more laser beams shot out, enraging the monster, which roared incessantly but could only defend itself passively.
Meanwhile, Lina and Shinjo piloted the Flying Swallow II and quickly circled around to the side. Shinjo carefully scanned the monster's body with his instruments: "Lina, this seems to be a relatively weak point in its shell. Let's concentrate our firepower here and buy time for the Texas Cannon."
"Okay!" Lina adjusted the angle and fired laser beams together with Shinjo. The beams hit the side of the monster. Although the damage was limited, it still made the monster a little overwhelmed.
Finally, the Texas Cannon was fully charged. "Now!" Lina shouted and pressed the fire button.
A thick beam of energy shot out, heading straight for the monster's weak side.
The monster seemed to sense the deadly threat and tried to turn around to avoid it, but it was too late.
The energy beam struck the monster, emitting a dazzling light and a huge explosion.
When the smoke cleared, the monster's enormous body was still right in front of them.
Xincheng couldn't help but ask, "What's going on?"
"Didn't it hit the target?"
Horii's expression was grave, and he said with a hint of helplessness, "The monster's controlled shell withstood the damage."
"The damage is still too low; we need to bring in the Snow White."
Upon hearing this, Megumi retorted, "No, the Snow White is on guard against the Lightning Man and can't leave!"
"Huh? That's strange, the monster isn't moving forward anymore?"
When everyone looked over, they discovered that the monster was actually walking towards a small hill, digging a hole in the hill, and hiding its body inside.
Meanwhile, the sun slowly rose.
It's dawn!
Shinjo: "Headquarters, the monster has entered hibernation mode!"
Megumi: "I understand. You can come back and replenish your energy."
"Ground troops will take over the guard."
"understand!"
Lin Yeming waited for the person who would meet him before leaving with Lucia and her brother.
He stared thoughtfully at the dashboard in the car.
