Chapter 329: The first communication
between Fu Qinghai and Zofia...
How to describe it?
A female friend of Fu Qinghai's in his previous life once talked to him about something: She said she knew a boy from a sports college who had little education, little knowledge, and was very naive, but… he was really handsome, 1.87 meters tall, with six abdominal muscles, white skin, and a big nose… and she wanted to sleep with him.
Then the woman asked Fu Qinghai: If a beautiful girl with a sweet face and sexy body, but an empty head and no substance, wants to go to bed with you, would you be willing?
Fu Qinghai, who is an LSP, immediately replied:
I would.
All human beings have desires, regardless of gender, and perhaps the difference lies in the level of hormone secretion. It's just that Fu Qinghai's appearance happened to hit Zofia's preferences.
Of course, the two were not strangers who met by chance. In the Marvel comic universe, Fu Qinghai strictly speaking saved Zofia twice. According to the standards of ancient online novels, it would not be an exaggeration to say that he pledged his love to her.
But the synaesthesia connection...
Synaesthesia connection will not fully display all the memories of one person to another person, but those impressive memory fragments from the past will randomly appear in the minds of both parties. To be honest, Fu Qinghai is not even willing to share this kind of thing with his parents.
According to psychological research: the more painful the memory, the more impressive it is. If two drivers want to achieve a higher frequency of synaesthesia synchronization, they need to have a deeper understanding of each other's memories.
"I understand."
Fu Qinghai and Zofia walked side by side in the passage of the Broken Dome, and said in a calm tone:
"If you are unwilling to connect with me, we will give up this plan. It will not affect it."
Zofia beside him smiled coldly and said:
"You act like a coward, Qingshan."
Hey... Fu Qinghai was unhappy. He thought to himself that it was you who rejected synaesthesia at first, and now you are the one who calls me a coward... He stopped, turned around, looked down at Zofia, and asked:
"So what do you want to do?"
Zofia also stopped, raised her head fearlessly and stared into Fu Qinghai's eyes, and said,
"I want a 100% synchronization rate. I can completely open my memory for you to visit. Can you?"
Fu Qinghai frowned slightly and hesitated.
Zofia raised her pretty face with a stubborn expression, her nose was upturned and slightly red, her narrow nose bridge was covered with small freckles, and her big gray-green eyes contained a hint of anger.
"Ha, I knew it."
Zofia turned around and continued walking forward.
"Don't you dare, Qingshan. Do you think you know me just because you slept with me once? You understand nothing. You know nothing."
Fu Qinghai frowned and looked at her back, saying,
"Why bother, Zofia. This is just a synaesthesia connection, a simple relationship between teammates or colleagues, why make it so complicated?"
Zofia turned around and said calmly:
"But those pilot teams that were a man and a woman, they all ended up getting married."
Fu Qinghai was even more confused:
"Is it so absolute?"
Suddenly he reacted and asked tentatively:
"So, you regard this invitation as a proposal?"
The girl stood there, seemingly calm, but in fact her fists were already clenched tightly. She asked back:
"What else? You can obviously drive a mecha hunter by yourself, so why do you want to ask me to be your co-pilot? I admit that I have some feelings for you. I also like your figure and appearance. I dream of becoming a mecha hunter pilot... But I don't need your charity, Qingshan! If you just want to have fun, don't come to me!"
Zofia became more and more excited as she spoke, and her eyes even turned red.
"I..."
Fu Qinghai felt very wronged.
I thought to myself that the reason I had a telepathic connection with you was to control the secondary weapon, and the main reason was to store the telepathic synchronization data of the Pons Bridge Device in advance, especially the telepathic synchronization data of the Astartes, to provide data reference for the formation of the Titan Legion in the future, not for these...
But looking at the girl's eyes red with excitement.
Fu Qinghai is torn between telling the truth and being a scumbag...
In the end, he chose to be a scumbag.
He took two steps forward, stretched out his arms to hug Zofia, looked down into her eyes, and said softly,
"I can achieve 100% synaesthesia synchronization, no problem."
…
The two walked through a corridor and arrived at a room with a sign on the door that read "Synchronous Training Room".
The interesting thing about the Pons bridge device is that, to some extent, even the scientists who invented it don't know why some people can synchronize and others can't. They just know that this method works.
Cai Tiantong had been waiting here for a long time. When he saw the two people coming in, he introduced them:
"Until you actually get inside someone's head, you can't imagine what it's like."
"Suddenly having memories that seem to be your own but aren't is not always a pleasant feeling. Quite the opposite. It's often unpleasant. The most unpleasant memories always come up first, all kinds of dark secrets, all the things you can't imagine happening to someone who is going through the same thing as you. Sharing memories can be painful, but it can also lead to extraordinary experiences... In short, it's wonderful."
Cai Tiantong shrugged.
"Stop talking nonsense and get started."
Fu Qinghai gave the order directly.
Together they put on their helmets, fastened the chin straps, and flipped on the controls.
"Turn on neuron synchronization."
Cai Tiantong's voice rang out.
In just a moment, Fu Qinghai felt that the whole world was turned upside down, and then:
The face of a fat, greasy, middle-aged white woman with large pores appeared out of nowhere in front of him. She leaned over and chattered loudly to him, scolding him in English with a heavy accent.
Fu Qinghai could clearly see the lips painted with cheap lipstick, and the teeth yellowed by tobacco, with big gaps between them, and the smell of marijuana leaves. Wait, why do I know what marijuana leaves smell like?
"Just keep playing games, Zofia. Playing your crappy games all day is useless. You are a waste! I would rather you go to the club to do striptease, at least you can earn some money for this damn house, instead of hiding in..."
As he listened, Fu Qinghai suddenly felt a surge of anger and courage in his heart. He pushed the woman in front of him away and ran out the door without looking back.
"Ms. Zofia, I regret to inform you that if you fail to pay the tuition on time, you will face expulsion..."
"Zofia, my dear niece, come to your uncle, and let him show you something, hehe... Fuck! You dare to hit me? You're as cheap as your mother! Get out of my house, and live on the streets, you little bitch."
"Ms. Zofia, you have a nice face shape and freckles, but if you really want this job, we recommend the following cosmetic surgeries: breast augmentation, lip augmentation, buttock augmentation, hyaluronic acid or autologous fat implantation. If you choose silicone, it can be cheaper, but the side effects..."
Fu Qinghai saw Zofia's childhood.
A Polish immigrant, from a poor family background, living in a community without police, her father disappeared when Zofia was three years old, and her mother had no skills and became a street prostitute.
She was forced to drop out of school and live with different relatives. She had no education, no job, and no professional skills. Even though she finally fulfilled her mother's words and applied for a job at a strip club, people still disliked her thin body and said that she didn't meet the public's aesthetic standards and asked her to get plastic surgery like the Kardashian family.
Fortunately, I caught up with the dividends of the times.
With the rise of video websites and live streaming platforms, Zofia became a game anchor with her superb skills and beautiful looks. She switched to various shooting games, including Rainbow Six, Call of Duty, Fortnite, PUBG, CS:GO... She captured a large number of otakus and even caused others to question whether she was cheating.
As he became financially independent and his life gradually improved, the anger and hesitation that had always filled his memory gradually disappeared. Fu Qinghai followed his memory and his mood gradually calmed down. He even began to wonder whether game anchors like Zofia would also have OnlyFans content...
However, a strong sense of insecurity always runs through the girl's memory. She lacks family love, wanders around, and almost suffers from sexual assault. Zofia's solution is not to find a boyfriend, but to rely on the fantasy world of ACG. She is crazy about various mecha elements, posters, games, figures, movies... She longs to enter the inside of an indestructible mecha, wrap herself tightly, and arm herself...
It really takes great courage to show such a terrible and embarrassing life experience to others.
In the chaotic and disordered memory fragments, Fu Qinghai's memorable moments occasionally flashed:
The first time I fought with someone, I was so excited that I was shaking all over. The first time I checked into a hotel with a girl, I couldn't find the entrance after searching for a long time. The nervousness during the college entrance examination, the joy after being admitted to the ideal university...
However, these fragments cannot be described as eventful compared to the tragic sufferings in Zofia's childhood.
"Bang!"
With a crisp sound, the scenery in front of Fu Qinghai returned to normal.
He returned to the synchronous training room - the hanging cables and cold instruments in front of him reminded him.
"Three whole hours! Oh my god, you guys broke the record for the longest synchronization time for the first synaesthesia!"
Cai Tiantong's voice of amazement sounded:
"Sorry, I took the initiative to disconnect. I was afraid something unexpected would happen, because in the past, no pair of students could maintain such a long time during the first synaesthesia synchronization without falling into madness or losing their minds."
Zofia turned to look at Fu Qinghai, with a hint of irony on her face, and said,
"I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I don't have an OnlyFans channel."
Oh, forgot.
Fu Qinghai secretly cursed himself for being stupid. During the synaesthesia process, any thought in his mind could be sensed by the other party.
"So, you like the girl named 'Fei' the most. You regard a native of the reincarnation world as your family, but you don't allow other men to touch other women. Tsk tsk, you really have double standards, Qingshan Khan."
Zofia said with a smile.
"This is the instinct of male creatures. I am not a saint. I have not been able to act independently of my genetic guidance and hormone influence. That's it."
Fu Qinghai has become very shameless now.
I have a kind of broken-jar mentality of "since you already know it, I might as well not pretend anymore."
Zofia sighed, lowered her head and said,
"So, we have different cultural backgrounds, different growth experiences, and different levels of education..."
"But our synaesthesia is in perfect sync."
Fu Qinghai interrupted her, stepped forward, held Zofia's hand, and said sincerely and seriously:
"That's enough, isn't it?"
Zofia stared at Fu Qinghai blankly, then shook her head slowly, and then smiled wistfully:
"Did they ever say..."
"You really are an asshole, Aoyama."
......
"Beep, beep, beep!"
Alarms sounded throughout the Shatterdome base.
The red police lights above their heads kept flashing. Fu Qinghai and Zofia, wearing the same white combat uniforms and holding helmets in their hands, walked on the steel corridor, as if they were wearing couple outfits.
The close-fitting plastic armor outlines Zofia's slim figure, but the contrast between her heights of 1.75 meters and 2.61 meters is really eye-catching, a combination of beauty and giant.
"Hello, White Scars pilots."
After the two entered the head control cabin, Cai Tiantong's familiar voice sounded as usual:
"The targets of this mission, the Level 4 monster codenamed 'Abomination' and the Level 4 monster codenamed 'Swift Dragon', were discovered by our submarine less than an hour after they emerged from the wormhole crack. They are now heading towards Alaska and heading towards us."
"Abomination" and "Sauron"...
Reminds me of the plot in the movie.
Fu Qinghai's heart trembled, and he asked,
"What about the third monster?"
"No third monster detected, Doc."
Fu Qinghai affirmed:
"There will be a third monster."
When Cai Tiantong heard this, his heart tightened, thinking that Dr. Fu Shan was the one who proposed the "model of increased frequency of monster appearances" together with Dr. Hermann, so he hurriedly ordered the monitoring personnel to keep a close eye on the wormhole rift and wait for the remaining monster to appear.
"That's your 'miracle line', 'white scar'."
A new voice interrupted the communication channel.
It was Marshal Pantecost.
"This is the first time for you two to drive a mecha hunter together. I have to tell you that you must not let the monsters enter the miracle line, otherwise we will suffer huge losses."
"Understood, Marshal."
The two said in unison.
The Miracle Line is located on the beach and is a boundary that monsters must never cross.
The miracle lines in different places are different depending on the monster's appearance location, travel direction, and changes in ocean current depth.
Generally speaking, the Miracle Line is established to prevent monsters from landing on land.
Before the Mecha Hunter arrived, the two monsters had destroyed several oil drilling platforms in the Bering Strait. Fortunately, they were evacuated in time and no casualties were caused.
The helicopter fleet took the "White Scar" far west of the Miracle Line, not far from the black oil slick.
They were waiting there.
"There was a little accident, 'White Scar'."
Cai Tiantong's voice rang out.
"Speaking."
Fu Qinghai spoke calmly.
"The target direction has changed and they are now heading towards Hokkaido at full speed."
"So what do we do now?"
Zofia asked,
"We are thousands of kilometers away from there."
"You're much closer than the other Jaegers."
Cai Tiantong said:
"All we can do is get you there as soon as possible."
"They are playing tricks on us."
Fu Qinghai sneered.
Drivers have a limited synchronization time, and some drivers can only last a few hours before the connection is automatically disconnected.
The battery life of the Mecha Hunter is also limited, and even a nuclear-powered reactor needs to be replenished with nuclear fuel.
The monsters knew to use this tactic, which showed that they were intelligent and not brainless creatures, but they obviously underestimated Fu Qinghai and the "White Scars".
"The transport helicopter group is currently refueling in the Alexander Islands and will be back soon. You two can disconnect now and take a rest."
Cai Tiantong suggested.
"Co-pilot Zofia disconnected."
Fu Qinghai instructed in his mind:
"I will keep the mecha on standby by myself first."
"clear."
Zofia agreed immediately.
…
Sea of Okhotsk, Hokkaido coast.
There was sleet on the sea, and at this moment, if we only relied on human senses, the visibility was basically zero.
Fortunately, the White Scars have more abilities than that.
In addition to the PPDC's submarines, sonobuoys, and anti-submarine helicopters, its own auspicious array can sense the strange, inhuman energy spikes emitted by the monster.
Various data showed that the monster was getting closer and closer to them, and the "White Scar" began to adjust its direction.
In the telepathic connection, Fu Qinghai could sense that Zofia, who was sitting behind him, was slightly nervous and trembling as she faced a real monster for the first time, so he spoke softly to calm her down:
"Don't worry, they are the ones who should be afraid. The monsters should be afraid of us, the White Scars."
"Can monsters be scared?"
Zofia asked.
"Monsters may not necessarily do that, but pioneers will."
Fu Qinghai said with great force:
"Everything in the monster's field of vision, every move of the mecha hunter, can be clearly seen by the pioneers on the other side of the alien world. They should be afraid of us!"
As soon as the words fell, a war broke out in a flash.
The sea level suddenly rose rapidly, the sea water formed a huge wave sweeping in, and then quickly receded - the "Abomination" appeared. It had been swimming in the seabed like the other monsters. But now, it supported itself on its hind legs, stood completely upright, and was as tall as the "White Scar" head.
Although each monster has some characteristics in common with natural creatures on Earth, they are different. In the darkness and sleet, the auspex outlined the appearance of the monster.
"Abomination" has two feet, four arms and a long tail. The four arms are two large and two small, and the three toes have long claws. The whole body is covered with hard armor of dark green metallic color, and there are two long horns on the left and right sides of the head.
White Scar and the monster locked eyes.
A faint blue light emanated from the pupils of "Hate", like two balls of blazing flames shining through the ice.
Without warning, the monster's long arms swung towards the Mech Hunter in the darkness, but "White Scar" withstood the blow with his strong right arm and fought back with his left fist.
Without tactile feedback, it would be difficult for a person to walk, let alone fight. The pilots of the mecha hunters also need tactile feedback to know what is happening to their "bodies" - Fu Qinghai and Zofia noticed at the same time that the arm of "Abomination" tried to hit the head of "White Scar".
This may be an unintentional attack by the monster, but after analyzing early monster wars, people found that they, like many creatures on Earth, knew that the head was a sensitive area and a weak point.
Through the neural signal feedback of the Pons bridge device, the two felt that their fists hit the monster, just like hitting a basalt cliff protected by six meters of rubber. "Abomination" let out a low roar, making Fu Qinghai and Zofia feel numb and tingling.
The distance was close enough, and at this moment, I could see its true face: the eyes of the Abomination were very wide, and the eye sockets were deep in the huge three-lobed skull. The entire skull was covered with layers of scales and spikes, protruding outward like a turtle's head. The neck was thick and long, and countless fleshy tentacles were densely squirming. Its hands were against the chest of the White Scar, and its claws were constantly scratching near the energy core.
Fu Qinghai didn't need to give orders, or even a glance, just a thought - Zofia quickly took over control of the two shoulder cannons, the shoulder armor plates opened automatically, and the twin-linked conversion beam cannons revealed their ferocious appearance.
Four silent beams of light shot into the monster's face.
Conversion beam weapons can convert dense matter into pure energy, and are more powerful than plasma. Their disadvantages are that they are too large and consume too much energy. However, for Titans, they are just four small cannons with a relatively short range.
"Ah——"
A bright light burst out from the face of "Abomination",
and after a howl, it became completely blind.
Fu Qinghai gave an evil smile.
This was the plan he conveyed to Zofia, to get close to the monster and "dig out its eyes" first. After the monster was blinded, they could punch it to death one by one, causing it to die from internal bleeding.
Just at this moment.
"Watch your back!"
A reminder from Qingming.
"White Scar" pushed away the "Abomination" in front of him without hesitation, turned around and swung a punch backwards.
In the head control cabin, the circular platform under Fu Qinghai's feet completely turned in one direction.
Seen from the sky, the mecha hunter's waist was twisted completely 180 degrees.
"Bang!"
The monster that attacked from behind was hit head-on.
The sharp, narrow crocodile's head tilted to one side.
The monster "Swift Dragon" is coming!
"White Scar" has been waiting for a long time.
As mentioned before, the Mecha Hunter is modeled after the human form but is not completely humanoid - the normal human spine structure cannot allow the waist to twist 180 degrees, but the Mecha Hunter can.
"Start, Rocket Elbow and Tesla Punch!"
Fu Qinghai gave the order.
Facing the siege of two monsters, Fu Qinghai was not panicked at all. "White Scar" turned around and saw the "Abomination" in front of him, who had lost his sight, waving his claws aimlessly. "White Scar" raised his arm, and a hot white flame spurted out from the joint at the end of his elbow, pushing his arm and fist forward. Coupled with the mecha hunter's own punching power...
Double the power, double the pleasure!
"BANG——"
A straight punch with great force and impact.
He slammed it hard in the middle of Hate's face.
With a "crack".
The monster's protruding skull was sunken.
The four giant arms with sharp claws also froze.
Just as humans need multiple crew members or artificial intelligence to control mecha hunters, monsters also need multiple brains to help control their huge bodies. Even the native creature on Earth, the Stegosaurus, has a second brain in its hip bone.
However, "Disgust" did not move at all. It seemed as if the secondary brain in its body had shut down and it just stood there, stiff as a sculpture.
Only when you get closer can you see the crackling, flashing and jumping strong light currents surrounding the injured part of the monster and flowing through the nerves and blood vessels all over the monster's body.
Rocket Elbow, from the design of "Dangerous Wanderer".
Tesla Fist, from the design of "Cherno Alpha".
However, Xiao Fei replaced the rocket propulsion with a plasma engine, and the high-voltage electrode with an arc weapon. The formula is still the original one, but the taste is no longer the familiar taste.
"White Scar" grabbed "Abomination"'s arm and slowly laid it down in the shallow sea. A small amount of blue blood spilled out, leaving behind a very complete monster corpse.
[You killed the monster "Abomination" and achieved a stage milestone! ]
[Start calculating assimilation points... 2517 points]
During this period, the monster "Velociraptor" did not try to sneak attack "White Scar". After the mecha hunter dealt with "Abomination", he turned around and saw that "Velociraptor" actually dived into the water and swam away.
The appearance of "Velociraptor" is like a giant crocodile, armed with hard scales all over its body. It has a streamlined head and huge toes, and it moves very fast in the water.
This is obviously a monster that is good at underwater combat.
"White Scar" raised his right arm, and the arm armor popped up and slid backwards, revealing the black volcanic muzzle, aiming at the quickly departing "Velociraptor", but after a moment, the mecha hunter put his arm down again.
Two different ways to kill.
The difference is nearly two thousand assimilation points.
Fu Qinghai finally chose not to fire.
"Does it want to escape?" Zofia asked in confusion, "Or does it want to lead us into the deep sea?"
"I have no idea."
Fu Qinghai said calmly.
"But you can play with it."
You know, Fu Qinghai has not yet used the two powerful weapons, the giant chainsaw sword and the Crux-type siege drill, which are embedded behind the waist of "White Scar".
"'White Scars', congratulations on successfully killing the monster 'Abomination', but I'm afraid there is no time to celebrate. Dr. Fu Shan, as you said, the third monster has appeared."
Cai Tiantong's voice was a mixture of sadness and joy.
"Where?"
Fu Qinghai was not surprised at all.
"A level 5 monster, codenamed 'Poison Lady'. This is the first time a monster of this size has appeared. It is almost three times the size of the Mecha Hunter, so we classified it as a level 5 monster. It destroyed an unmanned submarine just after it emerged from the wormhole and is now heading to the East China Sea!"
"Where's the Swift Dragon?"
"We have lost its location coordinates. Perhaps it dived too deep. We can only wait for it to get closer to the coast again to re-locate its location."
"Take me to the East China Sea."
"White Scars, are you sure you can continue to fight?"
Marshal Pantecost's voice rang out.
"certainly."
At this time, in Challenger Deep at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean.
The monster "Poison Lady" swam slowly with its huge body that blocked out the sun and sky, even covering up the orange-yellow light emitted from the wormhole cracks. After the PPDC's detection equipment locked the monster's position, it hurriedly sent back information, but did not notice that under the huge body of the level 5 monster, a smaller level 4 monster bent and arched its body and quietly drilled into the sand on the seabed.
In the radar field of view, the signals of the two monsters overlapped, but did not attract the attention of the mission control center at all.
