Godzilla Earth: Origin - Book 1: Chapter 50: The Final Battle
“Cough, cough… What’s going on outside? I can’t breathe.”
“Damn it! Is everything burning outside? This smell!”
“Why haven’t we taken off yet? Godzilla is already here!”
“Hey, can anyone help? Is there anyone strong enough? Is there anyone who knows how to open the door? If we keep going like this, we’ll all suffocate. Will someone open the door?”
“Damn, I didn’t think we’d die of suffocation. Weren’t we supposed to have a glorious battle with Godzilla…”
Inside the dimly lit helicopter, smoke kept pouring in from the outside.
This was really bad!
The smoke from burning trees outside was so thick that even the helicopter’s air purification system couldn’t completely cleanse it. If the smoke kept coming in, everyone would suffocate!
Not to mention fighting Godzilla, they wouldn’t even be able to see Godzilla.
Watching the smoke continually pouring in from outside, Akiyama Liang gathered some people and tried to maintain an appearance of calm and composure. However, he felt heavy-hearted.
A few minutes ago, a strong shockwave swept through the waiting transport plane, causing it to be blown away, spinning several times before landing safely and returning to its original position.
After resuming its position, the transport plane became completely paralyzed. All electronic devices were rendered inoperative; it seemed that the electromagnetic pulse from Godzilla’s super breath had damaged some circuits.
This shouldn’t have happened. Although the transport plane couldn’t withstand the super EMP from Godzilla’s breath within a kilometer, it should have been fine from tens of kilometers away.
But now it was a problem; the electronic part of the transport plane was completely short-circuited.
Luckily, a few strong men who had taken off all their clothes managed to open the cabin door with emergency tools, calling for Akiyama Liang to come over quickly.
When the transport plane stopped functioning just now, the situation inside the cabin was chaotic. Therefore, Akiyama had to come forward and reveal his identity to calm everyone down and take command.
It was fortunate that he had been appearing on TV and the internet frequently in recent days. Most of the people at the airport recognized his face, and they knew he was specialized in emergency situations, so they willingly handed over the command to him.
“Is it open? Everyone, you’ve worked hard. Now, I’ll see what’s going on.”
It was also fortunate that Akiyama had studied various emergency procedures for aircraft, so he knew what to do in this situation.
The Black Serpent Type 2 transport plane… it’s been a while since I’ve dismantled one.
This can truly be considered a professional match.
As Akiyama checked and replaced the circuitry, his heavy heart finally relaxed. Only one part was damaged by the EMP and was easy to replace.
“Click, click, click, whoosh…”
The lights inside the cabin turned on as Akiyama finished replacing the parts.
Modern technology allowed transport plane circuits to be dismantled and replaced conveniently.
The situation…
It was truly horrifying to see.
The entire forest was engulfed in flames. Everything in front of them was burning. Trees turned black, and smoke covered the sky. The entire world in front of them was red, and as far as the eye could see, nothing was free from the flames.
“Should, should we start now?”
The smoke inside the cabin was getting thicker and denser.
If they didn’t start now, everyone would suffocate.
Akiyama knew this too, so he opened the re-illuminated screen and selected the scheduled mission for the flight. He activated the transport plane’s autopilot mode.
The transport plane could directly connect to satellites to obtain real-time information.
Through this, the transport plane would automatically locate Godzilla’s position and fly towards it at the appropriate time and place according to the mission requirements.
The airplane’s propellers started rotating, and it finally reached an altitude of thousands of meters, completely getting rid of the annoying smoke.
“Finally, no more smoke…”
Everyone was relieved that they didn’t die from suffocation, and at this moment, Akiyama used the satellite network to open the real-time battle map.
He wanted to see what happened during the ten minutes they missed, how far Godzilla had advanced, and whether their operation had been successful or a failure.
Akiyama looked at the screen, even though there were no written descriptions of the outcome of the battle. He found the answer from the fact that only one transport plane remained and Godzilla was still alive.
Have we… failed?
The human operation had failed; the frontline military had been annihilated by Godzilla, leaving only them.
Akiyama looked at the display on the screen, and his heart couldn’t calm down for a long time. He couldn’t accept this result; he didn’t want so many people to die in vain.
No, there must still be a chance! There must be a chance to defeat Godzilla!
“Akiyama-san… Did we fail?”
A male beside him hesitated and asked, having seen what Akiyama had seen. At this moment, his heart was also in turmoil.
The operation had failed; was it still meaningful to continue to confront Godzilla? Would it be too futile to attack Godzilla according to the original plan now?
He had joined this battle because he wanted to help everyone before he died, but now that everyone had sacrificed themselves…
Would going there like this really help everyone? Was it really not meaningless?
People in the cabin each had their own answers, more or less. They looked to Akiyama, wanting to leave now.
Akiyama noticed this.
He didn’t say anything and simply set a new course, descending to a place where the smoke had cleared, and then opened the cabin door.
If they wanted to leave, then leave.
