"Wait, don't fire!"
Serizawa Ichiro suddenly stepped forward and shouted, "We don't know yet if Godzilla will attack us. If we act rashly now, he will immediately launch an attack!"
"That's right."
This time, Mark Russell strongly agreed with the other party's view and immediately stopped them, "Unless you are absolutely certain you can kill Godzilla, otherwise firing at him... oh no, aiming weapons at him, is a suicidal act."
"So... for God's sake, if you don't want this entire Base to be blown sky high by Godzilla, hurry up and put away your weapons?!"
"Are you kidding me?!" Colonel Foster roared, her face full of anger. "Shutting down the weapon system means the entire Base will completely lose its defensive capabilities!"
"Colonel, put away the weapons."
As the two sides were in a standoff, General Ross, who was behind them, spoke at the right time, "From what I know about Godzilla, if he really wanted to attack this Base, he wouldn't need to swim this close. He could have just launched an Atomic Breath from a distance to take us out."
"Alright... General."
Although General Ross's role this time was only as a military observer and he was not granted any actual power, they both belonged to the Department of Defense. Furthermore, General Ross was a three-star Army General with real power, while Foster was merely a Colonel. How could she not back down?
After all, a higher rank can crush someone, not to mention the military ranks between them differed by at least four levels!
Moreover, General Ross had recently been a hot'supernova' within the Department of Defense, especially after successfully rescuing President Matthew Ellis. He had directly latched onto the White House, and his future prospects were limitless.
Foster naturally wouldn't miss this good opportunity to do him a favor.
Perhaps in the future, when General Ross gained more power in the Department of Defense, he would also give her a boost... This was what is known as political investment!
"Everyone put away your weapons, do not fire!"
"Repeat, everyone put away your weapons, do not fire!"
Serizawa Ichiro and the others looked at General Ross with grateful expressions, "Thank you, General."
General Ross waved his hand dismissively, "I'm not doing this to save you crazy environmentalists. I'm saving myself, alright?!"
"Dr., look..."
At this moment, Vivienne Graham suddenly pointed at the large screen and said, "Godzilla's heartbeat is gradually slowing down, and all his indicators are falling... He's calming down."
"What's going on? What exactly does he want to do?"
Serizawa Ichiro looked at the large screen with a puzzled expression but found nothing.
If possible, he really wanted to call Karl now and ask him how he communicated with Godzilla back then.
In the dark deep sea, Godzilla silently stared at the human Base in front of him, which was wedged into the coast like a nail. The sharp dorsal fins on his back constantly flickered with a brilliant blue light at a fixed frequency.
Undoubtedly, he was sending a signal to the humans in this Base—a powerful and evil entity was about to "resurrect," and they needed to immediately inform Karl Merks of this news!
What?
How did Godzilla know Karl's name?
King Kong told him, of course!
After all, Godzilla had never been beaten up so badly by any other Titan in his life.
And later, he also absorbed enough radiation from Karl to recover from his injuries.
So, compared to other tiny humans, Godzilla had a fresh memory of Karl!
However, he no longer had time to personally rush to Sokovia to inform Karl and King Kong; he had to immediately go to Antarctica.
So he thought of this human Base, wanting to use these humans to help him transmit this information.
But Godzilla looked left and right, and these fools didn't seem to grasp his true intention. So, in a fit of pique, he simply turned and left.
"Phew, he's finally gone!"
"I was so scared just now. I thought I'd never see my girlfriend again! After all, her sixtieth birthday is next month..."
Just as everyone was cheering for successfully escaping, Mark Russell seemed to sense something and shouted at the staff, "Show me Godzilla's travel route map!"
Colonel Foster asked with a puzzled expression, "Can you tell me what exactly you're looking for?"
Mark Russell, while looking at the electronic map on the large screen, explained without turning his head, "Under normal circumstances, once an animal leaves its hunting territory, it usually means it has sensed a threat..."
And the flashing light from Godzilla's dorsal fins just now might not have been a display of power to us, but rather a signal!"
"Signal?"
Colonel Foster looked confused, but Serizawa Ichiro and the others, who had reacted, suddenly understood and quickly said to the staff:
"Immediately analyze Godzilla's travel route. He should be looking for something... It's very likely the ORCA device!"
Soon, the staff provided the answer, "Mr. Serizawa, the route has been analyzed, and all predictions seem to point to the same place... Antarctica!"
"Huh?!"
General Ross keenly noticed that when Serizawa Ichiro and the others heard the word Antarctica, expressions of fear and alarm appeared on their faces.
This was clearly not normal.
However, each outpost was a top-secret core secret of the Monarch Organization, which even the Security Council could not access, so General Ross naturally did not know what was in Antarctica.
At this moment, Mark Russell, who had also discovered this problem, couldn't help but ask, "Wait, is there something in Antarctica? Why do you all have those expressions on your faces?"
"Cough cough..."
Serizawa Ichiro subtly glanced at General Ross, then forced a stiff smile, "Mark, time is urgent now, we need to leave immediately. I'll tell you the details on the plane."
After speaking, he walked with everyone towards the hangar where the flying vehicles were parked.
"Heh heh, is there some secret there that you're afraid I'll know?"
General Ross watched them leave and did not follow. As a military observer, his duty was to sit in the command center, drink coffee, and supervise whether the Monarch Organization's operational procedures were compliant.
Naturally, he couldn't personally follow that group to the front lines.
However, even if Serizawa Ichiro intentionally concealed something, it didn't matter at all.
Because every order they issued on the front lines, and every small detail of their actions, would be fully recorded and continuously transmitted back to the command center.
At that time, General Ross would still be able to find the answers he wanted, it would just take a little more time.
And given General Ross's understanding of these crazy people's personalities, they would most likely cause a big mess later, and he would inevitably have to pay his own boss to clean up the aftermath!
So General Ross wasn't in a hurry at all; he would just continue to watch the monkey show unfold.
...
Monarch Organization Command Ship — argo.
Just like S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Sky Carrier, the Monarch Organization also had its own aerial fortress.
However, the argo's design was completely different from the aircraft carrier-shaped Sky Carrier; it was more like a triangular-shaped large aircraft!
Inside the spacious cabin.
"Mark, the reason you haven't heard of Outpost 32 is because this outpost was never recorded before. Due to the mysterious nature of Zero Monster, the data we have is very limited."
Serizawa Ichiro explained to everyone while motioning for Vivienne Graham to retrieve the relevant data.
"It looks like another apex predator... Emma once speculated that it might be Godzilla's natural enemy!"
Upon seeing the rough outline of Ghidorah, Mark Russell was immediately awestruck, and the hairs on his body stood on end. "If that's true, I'm afraid once it's released, it will fight Godzilla for dominance over the other Titans!"
"That's right."
At this moment, a female staff member, who bore some resemblance to Zhang Ziyi, retrieved a large amount of video data and explained to the others:
"All along, our most important basis for finding Titans has been the myths and legends passed down for thousands of years, and in these myths and legends, almost all Titans are described by humans as god-like beings..."
"But I found that people seem to not even dare to make the most basic records of Zero Monster's existence, which is clearly a huge difference from the treatment of other Titans."
Serizawa Ichiro, hearing this, seemed to have thought of something and couldn't help but interrupt, "Dr. Chen is right, but in my opinion, this is more like humans actively forgetting its existence. What were the ancients so afraid of?"
However, no one could answer his question, nor could anyone provide an accurate answer.
"Officer, we are about to arrive at Outpost 32."
"Listen up, everyone, if Allen Jonah wants to extract Zero Monster's biological samples, then they must be in the deepest biological laboratory of the Base right now, so everyone prepare for battle in advance!"
Immediately, under Colonel Foster's arrangement, Serizawa Ichiro, Mark Russell, and others followed the large group of soldiers, boarding twin-rotor helicopters and rapidly heading towards Outpost 32.
Two minutes later.
Several twin-rotor helicopters successfully landed on the helipad of Outpost 32. Teams of heavily armed soldiers rushed out of the cabin first and began advancing into the Base according to the designated routes arranged beforehand.
Serizawa Ichiro, Mark Russell, and the others were temporarily left on the aircraft.
After all, they were all research personnel with little combat capability.
But what no one expected was that a truly epic disaster had quietly arrived!
Underground, in the huge biological laboratory where Ghidorah was located, Allen Jonah and the others had already learned of the Monarch Organization's arrival in advance through the outer sentry posts. "Everyone, hurry up, our guests have arrived."
Before long, a subordinate gave him a thumbs-up and said, "Boss, the detonator is ready."
While Emma Russell was collecting Ghidorah's bio-acoustic signals, Allen Jonah's subordinates had already drilled dozens, even hundreds, of holes in the huge ice block, then placed special explosives inside, in order to detonate the ice and release Ghidorah.
"I'm done here too."
Emma Russell, while packing up the Magic Sound · Oca Device, urged her somewhat dazed daughter, "Madison, we should leave."
Then the two began to evacuate under the escort of Allen Jonah and some of the mercenaries, while the other mercenaries remained in the shadows, preparing to ambush the Monarch Organization's reinforcements, trying their best to buy them time.
Da da da —
Boom boom boom —
Gunshots erupted in the laboratory. Soldiers who had rashly entered the laboratory were fiercely attacked by the mercenaries, resulting in heavy casualties.
However, what truly shocked Serizawa Ichiro and the others was that they were reading an increasingly strong electrocardiogram signal on the sonar equipment.
Clearly, this electrocardiogram signal was coming from Zero Monster, who was frozen underground.
Mark Russell, eager to save his wife and daughter, took advantage of the others' inattention, picked up a pistol from a dead soldier outside, and secretly slipped into the Base.
Who would have thought that he would actually, by chance, block Allen Jonah, Emma Russell, and their group who were evacuating from another direction.
Bang —
Without hesitation, Mark Russell shot down the soldier walking at the very front. The remote detonator, glowing red, that the soldier was holding immediately rolled to the ground.
"Don't shoot, everyone don't shoot!"
Upon seeing who had arrived, Emma Russell immediately shielded Allen Jonah, stopping the mercenaries from retaliating, and at the same time warned Mark Russell not to shoot.
Although their philosophies differed, they had lived together for so many years, and there was still some affection between them that had not been extinguished.
What's more, she was also afraid that stray bullets from both sides would injure her daughter.
"Emma, Madison, come here, come to me..." Mark Russell held his gun, shouting loudly with a nervous expression.
"I'm sorry, Mark, we can't go with you... I still have a mission to complete!"
Emma Russell did not walk towards her former lover, but instead took a step forward, bent down to pick up the remote detonator that had fallen to the ground, glanced at the huge ice block that was freezing Ghidorah, and then looked at Mark opposite her, her gaze having become firm again.
