chapter 0317 part 2
Vietnam, still nostalgic about being the world's third military power, attempted in vain to rely on its own military force to stop these Kaiju outside the coastline.
For this purpose, they mobilized eighty percent of their national Navy around the wormhole, mimicking China in setting up a maritime defense barrier.
Initially, the battle results were indeed good. After all, the total military force of the Vietnamese Navy was also close to 50,000, and they had procured quite a few active warships from Russia.
Their advanced equipment included 4 Gepard-class light frigates of 2000 tons, 6 Kilo-class conventional submarines of Type 636, and 16 Molniya-class large missile boats of 500 tons.
Although it cannot compare with the navy of a major power, it is still considered a relatively strong maritime force in the Southeast Asia region.
This was also the reason why Vietnam was initially very confident that it could blockade this underwater wormhole by itself.
However, compared to the core countries of the World Security Council, the Vietnamese government was not only backward in military strength but also in information.
Just like the major council member states, they had received data reports about the Kaiju's ability to emit energy pulse waves very early on and had installed isolation devices on their respective weapons for this purpose.
Vietnam, apparently, did not have this understanding.
The price they paid for this was the loss of nearly eighty percent of their national Navy.
The Vietnamese government urgently requested help from China, the Federation, Russia, and the World Security Council. But even for China, the closest country, deploying military force required a certain amount of time.
The alien Kaiju took advantage of this gap, directly tearing through Vietnam's coastal defensive positions, and seven Kaiju directly landed in Hanoi City!
A protected forest near Hanoi became a refuge for large numbers of refugees who swarmed into it because the city was under attack.
The rumble of explosions behind them still sounded from time to time. Nguyen Minh leaned against a tall tree, panting heavily. He looked at the fiery clouds in the distant night sky and prayed silently that the fire would not spread into the forest.
He had seen a mountain fire before. If a mountain fire were to spread in this forest, ordinary people like him would have no way to escape.
"This world is truly full of disasters. Otherwise, like King/Queen said, I should just immigrate to China!"
Nguyen Minh was a rubber merchant. Because the environment in Vietnam is suitable for planting rubber trees, the rubber industry is considered half of Vietnam's pillar industries.
Nguyen Minh had his own rubber plantation. Not long ago, several of them rubber plantation owners signed a cooperation agreement with a tire company from China.
The Chinese side would establish a tire manufacturing plant in Vietnam, and they would be responsible for providing the rubber raw materials.
With a fixed buyer, Nguyen Minh's business was booming. Unexpectedly, just one year later, they encountered the crisis of alien giant beast invasion.
Facing this irresistible crisis, Nguyen Minh clearly realized the sense of safety that comes from having a powerful country as a backer.
"But I heard King/Queen say that getting a green card in China is very difficult. If that doesn't work, I'll just spend more money!" Nguyen Minh recalled the words of the Workshop Director Wang from the tire factory, who he used to drink with, and began calculating how much he would have to pay to immigrate to China.
Rustle! The night wind blew past, and the leaves above his head made a rustling sound. The tree shadows were reflected on the ground, like devils brandishing claws and fangs. Startled, Nguyen Minh subconsciously raised his mobile phone. Using the light from his flashlight, he cursed and looked towards the treetop.
On the branches of the treetop, a tall figure was slowly fading out of stealth camouflage, revealing a ferocious figure wearing a mask.
With a thump, Nguyen Minh was so scared he collapsed onto the ground. He opened his mouth to scream.
Whoosh! A claw throwing knife shot out from the tall figure's wrist, directly piercing into Nguyen Minh's throat.
"Gurgle, gurgle, gurgle—" Nguyen Minh, whose throat was pierced through, clutched his neck and fell down, spitting blood foam from his mouth, and making sounds like a hen clucking from his throat.
That was the sound of air rushing into his throat, leaking out.
The Dark Predator leaped down from the treetop, walked up to Nguyen Minh, pulled out the throwing knife claw from his throat, raised its hand, and stabbed it into his forehead.
A beam of light lit up in the forest. Someone nearby had heard the commotion and was rushing over to check.
The shoulder cannon on the Dark Predator's shoulder lit up with three red dots. Just as it was about to go on a killing spree, a voice suddenly sounded in its communication channel.
"Target item detected! Coordinates: North Latitude: 16°51', West Longitude: 99°56'!"
The Dark Predator looked at the several lights getting closer and closer, its figure immediately entered stealth mode, and then disappeared into the jungle.
"Ah! Murder!"
Accompanied by a scream, the originally silent forest fell into chaos.
The Dark Predator stood in the treetop of a tall tree not far away. Stealth mode concealed its entire body in the darkness, quiet as a ghost.
The Predator race cannot see directly. They need their Predator helmet to sense the infrared of their prey.
Dense red shadows appeared on its thermal imaging, making the Dark Predator unable to resist starting a killing hunt several times.
However, Shadow Storm stopped it. This planet was not as simple as they imagined; it also possessed powerful Warriors.
Their mission was to seize several things needed by Thanos. Before completing the mission, no one was allowed to hunt freely.
For these radical Dark Predators, Shadow Storm's words were like the Führer's words to the Nazis during the WWII period.
The hunters who had descended upon the American Continent had already detected a radiation fluctuation from a piece of the target item. Their next mission was to kill the obstructors and obtain that gemstone.
The Dark Predator glanced at the spaceship behind it. Its spaceship was damaged by the prey on this planet when it landed. The repair of the spaceship would take at least one stellar day, so it could only wait.
The mouthparts under the Dark Predator's mask opened wide. It looked quite enviously at the city outside the forest, which was burning like raging fire. Those giant beasts were excellent prey for hunters like them.
Heavenly Court Dimension, an increasing number of Yellow Turban Warriors were bustling with activity, working on a massive project.
