Godzilla Earth: Origin - Book 2: Chapter 10: Beneath the Sky

“Ah, I shouldn’t have come.”

As Senzaki Daizuke walked out of the city hall at noon, he was already exhausted.

“And you, Old Huang, you betrayed me by notifying that guy in advance.”

“Ah, today I won’t let you off the hook unless you treat me to lunch.”

Making zombie-like groaning sounds, Senzaki left the square with the middle-aged man and called two cars to take them back.

They were ready to head home.

“Betrayal? Really? That’s your big brother! How can taking you to meet your big brother be considered betrayal? Besides, Dr. Senzaki seems to care about you, doesn’t he? It’s not as bad as you used to say.”

Lying in the back seat, the middle-aged man called Old Huang still seemed a bit unsatisfied.

He had just met a lot of big names that he had only seen on paper before, so he was in a very good mood.

“But forget it, considering your pitiful look. Alright, what do you want to eat? I’ll treat you to lunch. Where do you want to go?”

In a good mood, he was generous with his offer, and money was not a problem. What do you want for lunch? He would pay! After all, they were tired of the school cafeteria.

“Xiao Dong.”

Wow, right from the start, you’re going for something expensive.

“Let’s have Peking duck for lunch. Are you up for it?”

Old Huang, who had no neck, cursed and then gave the name of the restaurant, asking the car to take them to the nearest Xiao Dong.

“Sorry, the shop you entered is temporarily closed.”

“Well, none of the 13 are open. Let’s try another one.”

When the navigation couldn’t find any, it meant that all the restaurants in town were closed. Tsk tsk, rich people run fast.

“Xiao Dong is closed too… How about Angui Alley?”

Another Peking duck restaurant, but this one was a step down. They used uniformly cultured duck meat.

The previous one was cultured in tanks, but at least it had different parts, with firm and juicy areas, and every bite was different.

But this one was different; it used uniformly cultured meat. It all tasted the same, without any texture. People usually didn’t go there to eat Peking duck.

“Hey, are you picking a fight with Peking duck today? Come on, let’s go to Angui Alley.”

“Sorry, the shop you entered is…”

Alright, this one is closed too. After being trapped, the housing problem in Yanjing was also resolved.

“We can’t have Peking duck. Let’s eat something else.”

Old Huang looked at his phone, and upon hearing that there was no Peking duck, Senzaki leaned back, looking at the car’s ceiling and muttered:

“Alright… I’ve lost my appetite. Old Huang, do you really think it can be used?”

Without Peking duck, he lost his appetite, which was quite peculiar. You don’t usually eat Peking duck, so why did you suddenly want it today?

Thinking about what was in his stomach, Old Huang responded with a question mark.

“Used for what?”

Classic, a question mark in response to a question mark. But Senzaki hadn’t explained himself clearly, so this response was acceptable.

“What else can it be used for? I’m talking about that Oxygen Destroyer. You saw it too, right? The power of that thing.”

Easily disassembling the structure of Godzilla cells in the simulation was beyond their imagination.

Senzaki covered his eyes with his arm, and when he was inside, he understood what everyone was there for.

The Oxygen Destroyer, developed by his brother, was a weapon capable of killing Godzilla.

When he first learned about it, he was really taken aback.

At a time when the world had not yet fully analyzed Godzilla’s cells, his brother had already developed a weapon capable of killing Godzilla.

It was truly something to be proud of… right?

Old Huang didn’t answer, and Senzaki continued on his own:

“Can that thing really be used without any problems… That thing is much worse than a nuclear bomb.”

Even if humans turned all the nuclear fuel on Earth into bombs and detonated them all at once, it would not be possible to kill some extreme microorganisms.

As long as these microorganisms existed, there was still a possibility of re-establishing the ecology.

But the Oxygen Destroyer was different. It was something that could truly kill all microorganisms within its coverage area.

There would be no room for evolution and adaptation, and there would be no survivors.

“For life, this is a much more dangerous weapon than a nuclear bomb.”

The atmosphere suddenly fell silent.

“It shouldn’t… right?”

Old Huang was uncertain; he had initially wanted to say it wouldn’t. But then he remembered that they had been unable to analyze Godzilla’s cells for so many days and the scene where Godzilla appeared in the Far East…

He felt uncertain.

Trading the eternal silence of the planet’s ecology for the survival of humanity.

For humans, this was a worthwhile deal.

“Boom, boom, boom, boom…”

In the sky, another fleet of unmanned transport drones flew by. This time, Senzaki didn’t look, but Old Huang leaned closer to the window to watch.

He saw a bunch of transport drones in the sky carrying something that looked like a capsule towards a certain direction.

And if he remembered correctly, that direction should be where the Bohai Sea was located.

Old Huang was stunned, then immediately reacted. He pressed his eyes against the window and looked in that direction.

Old Huang’s two eyes, pressed against the window, widened to the limit. He wanted to see more clearly.

But unfortunately, in the time he was dazed, the unmanned transport drones had already flown to a place he couldn’t see clearly.

…

April 21, 2208.

The construction of the three major coastal defense lines in East Asia, North America, and Australia has been completed.

Meanwhile, the European Space Agency’s mission to clear near-Earth orbit of space debris is also nearing completion.

It is expected that construction of the framework for the space-based strike network will begin before the arrival of May.

In the naval department, the first batch of warships equipped with mobile electromagnetic guns conducted their maiden voyage and sea-based target tests.

The manufacture of nuclear weapons is also proceeding smoothly, and the temporary nuclear materials are not in short supply thanks to deep crust development. Everything is on track.

What few people noticed was that a certain paper that had been touted as going to be published in Nature was retracted.

At the same time, the three major regions of East Asia, North America, and Australia began installing electromagnetic cannons at their coastal locations.

A total of 1,800,000 cannons are planned, covering all coastlines.

A total of 1082 electromagnetic guns are set up as the most basic defense line.

The electromagnetic cannons will be used as the last resort to block Godzilla once the situation deteriorates in the three major regions.

At this time, there are 15 days left until Godzilla awakens.

There are 31 days left until the arrival of Ghidorah’ Wings.

There are ??? days left until the arrival of ???.

There are ??? days left until the arrival of ???.

And the final countdown to the apocalypse—

“The End”
