Chapter 441 New Lucky Number

Now that he had gotten what he wanted, Hannibal Zhou was of no use to him, so Lin Hao stood up and said:

"I'm wondering if there's a possibility that someone used a telepathic device to communicate with the monsters, causing our intelligence to be leaked!"

"No way!"

"How can this be?"

"That shouldn't be the case!" everyone in the meeting room said in disbelief.

Lin Hao shook his head and said:

"No monster that came out of the wormhole on the seabed has ever returned. But you can see how the monsters have behaved recently. They are getting stronger each time."

"Perhaps these monsters have something like radio, or ultrasonic waves like bats, to communicate between groups?"

"This~!" The general's heart moved, and he thought of the monster that was killed last month. Shortly after it was transported back, it was sold to the black market businessman Hannibal Zhou.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Lin Hao smiled faintly and said:
"Perhaps we can track down the monster sub-brains that were previously used for research or sale. I think this should not be difficult to track down."

In fact, Lin Hao had no choice. After all, humans now thought that the monster that escaped was just a giant amphibious monster that emerged from the ground.

After the meeting, Lin Hao returned to his room and began to check the new skills he had acquired when he had telepathy with the monster.

Name: Lin Hao

Strength: 20 (+)

Constitution: 20 (+)

Dexterity: 20 (+)

Mental Power: 20 (+)

生命值：100年219天11时25分51秒

Destiny Points: 117
Skills: Traceless Extension Spell (expand), Time Rewind (expand), Life Time (expand), Yin-Yang Eyes (expand), Illusion (expand), Advent Possession (expand), Illusion (expand), Hive Consciousness (expand)

"Damn, there are only 117 destiny points left. That means I can only solidify a skill once at most!" Lin Hao felt that the destiny points were too wasted.

I should have waited a little longer and gone through one more world to get here. Maybe I could get something from the pioneers, but I don’t have enough destiny points, so it would be a real waste!
Then Lin Hao clicked on the two newly acquired skills.

Advent possession: "When the target is marked by the host's mental power, you can gain control of the target's body regardless of distance."

Lin Hao remembered that his original possession skill was obtained through Chu Renmei, but Chu Renmei was a ghost, so Lin Hao could only use it in the spirit state, so the skill was in a gray and unavailable state.

Unless Lin Hao is willing to spend 1 destiny point and create a temporary spirit, he can use this possession skill.

Now, as long as these are marked with mental power, they can be used without any obstacles, and there is no need to spend extra destiny points!

"Yes, this is pretty good!" Lin Hao had already made up his mind at this time and decided to find a suitable opportunity to try it out.

Later Lin Hao still saw that there was another message behind it.

Special reminder: "The length of control time is determined by the mental power of both parties. If the host's mental power is greater than the target, long-term control of the body will be obtained. If it is lower than the target, only short-term control of the body can be obtained!"

So that's why. No wonder the Pioneer had taken back control of his body before. Then Lin Hao prepared to look at the next skill~.

"Wait!" Lin Hao suddenly thought of a serious problem, so he asked the system:

"System, if my mental strength is lower than that of the Pioneer, will it take away control of my body?"

Ding: The Pioneer only has the ability to descend, but does not have the host's possession skills, so as long as the host does not agree, it cannot seize control of the body!

Lin Hao felt relieved after hearing this, and looked at another skill.

Hive Mind: "After synaesthesia/mental marking, the creature will slowly be passively assimilated and will be loyal to the host from then on."

Special Notes: 1. This skill is to increase the target's recognition of the host, not to erase the self-will of others. 2. This ability can be combined with illusion and fantasy skills to make the illusion more real and credible.

"Wow, this skill is amazing! Not only is its own ability amazing, but it actually comes with a buff!"

In this way, Lin Hao's skills not only get rid of the need to consume destiny points, but also ignore the distance limit.

Lin Hao remembered that in "Pacific Rim 2", Dr. Newton had two states. One was when he was possessed by the Pioneer and spoke like a Pioneer.

There is another type that looks normal at ordinary times, but has actually completely defected to the monster camp. In order to open a wormhole, they even designed monster mechas and tearing worms/nanoworms that can glue together the three-headed monster.

······
That night, Hannibal Zhou was brought back to the base, and soon the matter about the alien pioneers was discovered.

Afterwards, the Xiangjiang base immediately informed other bases of PPDC of this information. As for how other bases would react, Lin Hao didn't care.

After all, Lin Hao has done everything he can. It’s unlikely that he will suffer heavy losses from the monster like in the original plot!
Next, Lin Hao stayed at the base temporarily to assist the base in repairing and modifying the two damaged mechas.

After all, the technology that Lin Hao brought back before can be used in this upgrade, and by the way, the cockpit of the mecha can also be modified.

At Lin Hao's suggestion, the second and third generation mechas were all equipped with escape cabins. Originally, Lin Hao wanted to change the position of the cockpit, but ultimately failed.

Because all second- and third-generation mechas have simulated driving systems, and starting from the fourth-generation mechas, they are all advanced CNC systems.

Therefore, only the fourth-generation mecha can modify the position of the cockpit, and currently there is only one Red Storm in the base that can be modified in this way.

However, at present, only this one mecha can be operated in the base, so the transformation can only begin after the transformation of Shaolin Ranger and Lucky No. 7 is completed.

Lin Hao's exclusive mecha, on the other hand, is a single-pilot machine, which saves a lot of space. Therefore, the mecha has three driving positions, namely the head, chest, and abdomen.

Unfortunately, it takes a year to manufacture Lin Hao’s mecha, and he cannot drive it for the time being. If he wants to drive it, he can only wait for the Hansen father and son to leave, and then he will drive Lucky No. 7.

Two months later, just when Lucky 7 was about to be repaired, the Hansens were indeed transferred back to the Sydney base.

It turned out that a month ago, a monster appeared in the wormhole again, and this monster attacked the Lima Mecha Base in South America.

Fortunately, they received the news that the pioneers had mastered the mecha's weakness. Although they didn't know how credible it was, they did make some preparations. Fortunately, they reinforced the head where the cockpit was located and were alert during the battle. Therefore, the monster invasion was eventually wiped out and the losses were not too great.

At the same time, the monster's attack on the head of the mecha also confirmed the information shared by the Xiangjiang base. Therefore, all countries once again worked together to share some mecha-related core technologies and upgrade all mechas.

After all, each mecha costs as much as 60 billion US dollars, and the loss of each one is a huge loss.

Because of mental trauma, the Hansen father and son applied to return to Sydney for recuperation, although everyone knew that they were preparing to return to Sydney to drive the fifth-generation mecha, Eureka Raider!
However, their departure also freed up the mecha, allowing Lin Hao to drive the Lucky No. 7 mecha.

The original intention of the base was to transform Lucky No. 7 into a mecha that could be piloted by Lin Hao alone, but Lin Hao refused.

After all, if he waits another eight or nine months, Lin Hao will be able to drive the latest mecha, and Lucky 7 will eventually be driven by someone else, so there is no need to modify the mecha for him.

Therefore, Lucky No. 7 is still a two-person piloted mecha, but it has a specially made direct-connected helmet, so the mecha can be driven directly without the need for transit through the Drift synaesthesia system.

After this major transformation, although Lucky 7 still uses nuclear power, it has been replaced with the third-generation nuclear airborne power, and diesel power has been added as an auxiliary.

Today's Lucky 7 is more powerful than before, but it's a pity that it is only a second-generation mecha. Otherwise, it could be transformed into a CNC system and directly upgraded to a fourth-generation mecha.

But it is not bad now. It is considered a third-and-a-half-generation mecha, and its combat power is infinitely close to that of a fourth-generation mecha. Especially since Lin Hao does not need to go through the synesthesia system, the mecha he drives can definitely exert a combat power that exceeds that of a fourth-generation mecha.

At this time, Lin Hao was connecting to Lucky No. 7, Pons human-computer interaction system.

"Lucky No. 7, how do you feel?" asked the head of the base. (Because the title of general was blocked before, we will use titles such as head, officer Liu, etc., so please just make do with it.)

This time, Lin Hao did not go through the Drift telepathy system, but directly connected with the mecha. Lin Hao's first feeling was sensitivity.

As long as your consciousness cooperates with your body to make any action, the mecha will respond and give feedback immediately.

"It feels great!" Lin Hao said excitedly.

As he spoke, Lin Hao clenched his fingers into a fist, then waved his fists and kicked his feet. He was several times more flexible than before. Even some of Lin Hao's usual small movements were immediately reflected on the mecha.

After completing a series of functional tests, Lin Hao quickly adapted to the new Lucky No. 7 and was able to operate it with ease.

Just after Lin Hao completed the test, an alarm sounded at the base. It was obvious that it was an alarm of monster invasion.

"What's the situation?" Commander Liu asked immediately.

"There's movement in the wormhole." The radar monitor responsible for the monster's movement reported: "It seems to have arrived in just over 20 days this time!"

"How strong is the signal of this monster?" Commander Liu asked again.

"There are two. Not only has the duration shortened, but the number seems to have increased as well." The monitoring personnel operated on the computer and then said confidently:
"They are heading towards the island nation's Dongjing base!"

"What? Two monsters!" Commander Liu was shocked. He thought the island country base might be in trouble this time.

At this time, the correspondent opened a message and immediately reported:

"We just received two sets of data from the island country, which are consistent with our detection data. There are only two mechas in their base that can move. They hope we can send two mechas to reinforce them!"

At this time, Commander Liu picked up the microphone and said to Lin Hao:
"Xiao Lin, are you interested in going to the island country to practice?"

Of course Lin Hao was interested in making the trip, after all, they were friendly neighbors.

So he smiled and said, "I couldn't ask for more. It's a good opportunity to see the world!"

Commander Liu received Lin Hao's affirmative reply and immediately received:
"Dongjing encountered two monsters. Now Lucky Seven and Shaolin Ranger are going to help!"

Lin Hao, Su Yi, and Ming Hao responded promptly:

"Yes!"

The two mechas then underwent final maintenance and after being refilled with fuel and supplies, the dome was opened and the mechas of the three people were immediately lifted up by a helicopter.

With the rumbling roar of the Jumping Hawk helicopter, Lucky Seven and Shaolin Ranger were hoisted to Dongjing.

Looking at the two mechas going away, Commander Liu said calmly:

“I wish you a successful start!”

To be honest, he was still a little worried about Lin Hao. You know, those good things Lin Hao brought back made such a great contribution to the country.

What's more, Lin Hao is a person who can drive a mecha alone, which is definitely a rare talent.

······
After several hours of transportation, the two mechas had been delivered to Dongjing, and Lin Hao also saw the three mechas that the island country had sent into battle this time.

They are the Invisible Ronin, Tango Wolf, and Echo Sabre.

The Invisible Ronin was completed on December 2015, 12 in Lima, Peru, and then served at the Lima base.

After the "Dongjing Battle" on May 2016, 5, the Invisible Ronin moved to the Dongjing base.

(It was destroyed in a battle in 2020, and its two pilots were killed on the spot. Lin Hao estimated that it was destroyed this time.)
Tango Wolf was completed on December 2015, 12 in the island country of Dongjing, and then served at the Dongjing base.

After the "Battle of Dongjing" on May 2016, 5, he was stationed at the Dongjing Base with the Invisible Ronin. The one who drove this mecha to save Mori Mako was the PPDC Marshal Pandecost.

(Originally, this mecha was destroyed on St. Lawrence Island, Alaska, USA on November 2022, 11, and the two pilots were killed on the spot.)
Invisible Ronin and Tango Wolf belong to the first generation of mechas. After this transformation, they have reached the level of the third generation of mechas.

The Echo Sabre was completed in the island country of Dongjing in October 2018 and later served in the Dongjing base. It is a fourth-generation mecha with considerable combat power!
(When it was transferred to the Xiangjiang base in 2025, it was attacked and destroyed by the monster "Virus".)
It is obvious that the island country attaches great importance to this monster invasion. You should know that on May 2016, 5, the "Dongjing Battle" almost destroyed Dongjing.

The capital of a country was almost destroyed by a monster. No wonder every time a monster landed on the island country, they were very nervous and they went all out every time.

Especially when they learned about the existence of alien pioneers, they actively upgraded and updated their three mechas, and upgraded two first-level mechas to the third-generation level.

If there was only one monster, they would be able to deal with it, but they didn't expect that there would be two monsters this time. No wonder they asked for help from the Hong Kong base. No one can afford the cost of the capital being destroyed.

As soon as everyone finished greeting each other, they heard the report from the Dongjing Machine Base. Lin Hao also learned the code names of the two monsters: Cutter and Troy.
