A mob of clones

Chapter 575: Where did the Taotie spaceship go? Could it be eaten by someone?
The world of Super Seminary, Chiwu star system, Earth, China...

In a military base...

"Regarding what has happened recently, I believe most of you here already have a general understanding of what the situation is."

"Tianhe City, Juxia City, Modu, and many other cities in China have been attacked by UFOs."

"It caused serious damage and had a very bad impact."

"And things like this don't just happen in China. Many other countries, including the United States, Britain, France, Japan, etc., have also been attacked."

"And according to the intelligence exchange, the attackers are all monsters with similar appearances, covered in hard alloys all over their bodies, and able to fire lasers to cause damage..."

The conversation paused at this point, and a thick teaching stick stretched out and hit the screen of the projector fiercely, making a crisp "snap" sound...

At this moment, the image projected by the projector instantly turned and transformed into an enlarged black head portrait. The soldier Dukao who was giving the speech said with a serious expression:

"Look! This is the culprit that caused all the riots—Taotie!!!"

Now below...

Upon hearing this, each listener cast their eyes on the projector in front of them.

All pairs of eyes were focused on the head that was covered in black metal all over, looking at the strange monster that looked neither like a human nor like any other animal on Earth.

Every pair of eyes couldn't help but take on a solemn look.

There is no one with any identity sitting here and listening to this lecture; it is really simple.

This meeting is of great importance, concerning the lives and safety of citizens, the entire country and even the entire earth.

Therefore, most of the people who came to listen to the lecture had already had a rough understanding of some of the things in the speech beforehand.

Especially those videos of the destruction caused by the so-called Taotie during the invasion. Almost everyone present had watched them at least five times.

They had also read about the general information about the monsters called Taotie, the power of their weapons, their defense levels, and the speed of their individual flying vehicles.

And it was precisely because of seeing their expressions that he became so solemn.

The strength displayed by the other party was really too astonishing.

The first is the individual flying vehicle.

The single-person flying vehicles driven by those monsters called Taotie, which generally carry two people, far surpass all the fighter planes on Earth today in terms of speed, concealment, coordination and firepower.

In terms of speed, the military once sent the most advanced aircraft to chase it, but ultimately failed.

In terms of concealment, even with the most advanced stealth fighter on earth, there is no 100% guarantee that your aircraft will completely disappear from the radar detection range.

But the Taotie civilization can do it.

It is precisely because of this that those monsters can enter and exit major cities with impunity and cause destruction.

Since they can’t be found or caught up with, they are naturally extremely arrogant.

In addition to this, the maneuverability and durability of the aircraft far exceed any type of fighter on Earth.

Aircraft on Earth need the assistance of a runway to take off, but the enemy's individual aircraft does not need it and can fly directly on the spot.

And according to previous battle reports, a group of monsters called Taotie once fought against members of the League of Haters in the United States.

Among them, the Taotie individual spacecraft has been attacked many times by rocket launchers, individual grenades, and explosive arrows.

But in the end, the monster named Taotie still evacuated safely.

None of these can be done by any other aircraft on earth. It is an all-round crushing defeat.

Moreover, airplanes are extremely valuable treasures for human civilization, but for the Taotie, individual weapons are basically equivalent to motorcycles and bicycles for humans...

"The gap is really too big..."

Although there have been cases where Taotie attacks were successfully counterattacked by aircraft.

But no one present thought that this was a success for human civilization in its resistance against the Taotie.

No one present is an ordinary person, so naturally they would not just look at the superficial strength of the relationship.

Being able to see the whole picture from a small perspective is basically their basic level of ability.

This kind of all-round crushing of flying equipment is not only reflected in military strength, but also in many aspects if you really look into it.

Being able to easily reach higher speeds and having stronger impact resistance means having a more powerful and stable power engine, stronger and more suitable energy fuel, and tougher technological materials.

Apart from this, one of the main reasons why airplanes cannot fly into thousands of households on Earth is that they are too expensive to build, and they are difficult to fly and require a high level of professionalism.

It is obvious that the Taotie, who has turned the aircraft into an individual weapon, has already solved these problems.

This means more readily available materials, more convenient flight systems, etc.

The gap revealed in each point can be deduced to differences in all aspects...

Although the difference in each point does not seem to be very big, when all aspects are involved, it becomes a gap that cannot be ignored.

Such an all-round gap gives people an inexplicably strong sense of déjà vu.

In particular, many older people who were listening to the lecture in situ could not help but recall the lesson that the "American Country" taught to countries around the world using "Colonel Kadiz" as a teaching material.

In that war, the technological gap between the two sides was only 10 to 20 years, but the final result was a complete crushing defeat.

It’s hard not to be worried given this precedent…

To sum it up in one simple sentence, the fear of insufficient firepower has come back again...

Seeing that everyone present was lost in thought, the man in military uniform, holding a blackboard stick and with a solemn expression, nodded slightly and was about to turn the page and continue his speech.

But the slide in front of me just changed the screen.

The picture changed from the Taotie warrior's portrait to a picture of a Taotie warrior using a laser to blow up a tank. Before Dukao could actually speak, a hand stretched out from the conference table below and interrupted his narration.

However, Dukao did not show any dissatisfaction. He pointed a finger at the figure who raised his hand, nodded slightly, and asked:

"If you have any questions, please tell me."

Hearing this, the figure who had just raised his hand stood up tremblingly with the help of a cane, and finally looked at the photo of the Taotie warrior in front of him with his cloudy eyes.

Looking at the laser that burst out with incredible power, a sharp edge that was not supposed to be in an old man's age suddenly flashed in his cloudy eyes, and he said:

"Xiao Du, there aren't many important questions I want to ask about this."

"We have all reviewed the information about this guy who attacked the city before the meeting."

“There is no need to recount this aspect.”

"I just want to ask two questions here."

"First of all, according to the report, there have been cases of people defeating the so-called Taotie guys in the country recently."

"Were their weapons and aircraft successfully seized?"

"After obtaining their weapons and aircraft, we disassembled and reassembled them, and then reverse-studied the technology to see if it was feasible..."

Hearing the questions from the people standing up in front of him, Dukao was silent for a moment, then nodded slightly to the figure playing the PPT.

Then the slides projected by the projector in front of him began to flow quickly, spanning dozens of photos to the few photos that could almost be considered the last few.

The scene here shows a scene that seems to have been bombed by various high explosives...

It was a broken street, with blood on the ground, a crowd of enthusiasts on the roadside, and next to it was a broken asphalt road, supported by various overturned vehicles.

It looked like a bombing scene...

This is a photo taken from the only case of a Taotie warrior's failure since the Taotie appeared on Earth.

However, looking at this photo, Dukao's face was still full of helplessness.

He shook his head and said:

"I'm sorry, Mr. Sun~, although I also hope to seize the technological creation of the Taotie."

“But in fact, it doesn’t.”

Dukao raised his hand and pointed at the screen beside him, and said:

"Look, this is some of the surveillance information captured on the field."

"According to surveillance information, at 1:27 p.m. a dozen days ago, this street was attacked by Taotie warriors."

"But at 1:29, a fierce battle broke out here." "The fighting stopped at 1:30."

"As for what exactly happened? Everything happened too quickly, and the center of the battle was not within the scope of surveillance."

"The battle ended too quickly. Even the satellites didn't have time to aim at that area before everything was over."

"The photo we are seeing now is what the satellite captured three minutes after the battle ended."

"And at this time, the mysterious man who was fighting with the Taotie had already left."

"The two Taotie warriors were dismantled into pieces and scattered all over the ground, recording this precious victory for us."

"The armor of the Taotie warrior was so badly damaged that it is basically worthless to study except for the material itself."

"And the spaceship simply disappeared out of thin air. No one knows where it went."

"Therefore, there is still no progress in the reverse research on Taotie technology."

After hearing Dukao's explanation, the old man called Mr. Sun couldn't help but sigh.

Then he sat back in his original seat and waved his hand to indicate that there was no problem on his side.

Seeing this, Dukao nodded slightly.

He turned around and looked at the PPT that had jumped to the back, thought about his disrupted rhythm, and simply continued speaking from here.

However, the old man named Sun Lao was not in the mood to listen any further. He sat at the conference table, his body was there, but his spirit had flown away to who knows where...

"How could such a large spacecraft disappear?"

"Could it be possible that the mysterious man who solved the problem of Taotie would be able to drive Taotie's spaceship?"

"Could it be that he ate the spaceship?"

……

At this time, the view came to the other side...

In a small village in Juxia City...

In this village where basically only the elderly were left, there was an alien species that was very colorful...

“Crack, crack—”

An old man is taking a stroll as usual when he has nothing to do. The sunshine is nice and the breeze is cool. Everything seems so leisurely and comfortable, just like in the past.

However, as he was walking slowly with his dog in the countryside that should have been quiet.

"Crunch, crunch -"

A noisy sound of metal deforming broke through the rubbing obstruction and reached his ears, making him frown slightly.

The old man turned his head to look at the place where the sound came from, and looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar mansion, and couldn't help but shake his head slightly.

"Wu He's kid's house is still under renovation..."

"It's really hard for him. His parents passed away early, and he has to worry about everything by himself."

"But fortunately, this child is well-behaved, down-to-earth, and hardworking. If he goes to college, his future will be bright..."

"There is no one at home who can help except me. The house decoration has to be done several times... It's so pitiful..."

……

At this time, in a place that the old man could not see, inside the village...

A fairly handsome young man, wearing a white vest and black shorts, was sitting leisurely on a chair.

That leisurely demeanor and peaceful look are even more peaceful than those of the previous old man. Looking at the entire house, it doesn't look like it needs any renovation.

If there is any reason, it is probably only the piece of iron in the young man's hand...

And the "crunching" sound came from here.

As for a person without tools, if this piece of iron sheet makes a big noise...

"Crunch, crunch -"

Just look at the barely noticeable iron filings in the young man's mouth and you'll know.

Biting metal raw and swallowing alloy hard, the person who can do these things cannot be an ordinary person.

The young man is indeed not an ordinary person. His true identity is what the old man outside said, a college student with a "bright future", who is down-to-earth and hardworking.

"I'm super powerful, I develop slowly, I don't recklessly..."

"Gudong~"

After completely swallowing the metal in his mouth, Chao Shenwu scratched his hair, opened his mouth and yawned heavily, rubbed his sleepy eyes, took steady steps, and walked to his warehouse.

"Crash-"

The iron door of the warehouse opened in response. If people who knew the real situation saw the scene in the warehouse, they would probably be scared and make "screaming" emoticons on the spot, especially that "Mr. Sun".

Because in the warehouse, the first thing that catches people's eyes is the Taotie individual flying vehicle that "Old Sun" is obsessed with.

However, the aircraft was not complete at this time and had been dismantled into pieces...

As for the reason for dismantling a good spaceship into this state——

"crunch..."

He reached out and took out another piece of metal plate from the warehouse and put it into his mouth...

"It's OK. The alloy of the Taotie tribe is quite delicious..."

Chao Shenwu put the metal plate in front of him into his mouth, and while he was chewing it, his brain, which had been shut down for a long time, continued to work.

After more than ten days, I finally started to think about what I should do next.

"I can't seem to do this. My life is so decadent..."

More than ten days have passed since he escaped from the Taotie crisis and returned to his safe house.

However, unlike the one next door who swallowed Wu He in the great terror between life and death, he received an extra upgrade, his strength greatly improved, and he was almost invincible on the earth.

The strength of Chao Shenwu and the enemies here is relatively weak.

It didn't cost too much, Chao Shenwu defeated them and even tore them to pieces.

At the original place, Chao Shenwu and, with the help of the wool they had snatched from the mysterious Wuhe, directly grabbed the spaceship and stuffed it back home.

Finally, I returned to my safe house safely...

Everything went terribly smoothly.

Unlike Super Shenwu and Devouring Wu He, he does not need to abide by the rules of this world. Any means are good as long as they can improve his strength.

When necessary, it is not impossible to sacrifice the Human Emperor Banner.

However, taking into account the characteristics of modern times, Chao Shenwu chose a small golden elixir method and a small thunder ball secret spell for the original accumulation of initial cultivation.

Then, Chao Shenwu basically ate and slept, and his cultivation was still gradually increasing.

In addition, his previous plan was to stay in the safe house and wait for everything to be over.

Now that I have the ability to make a living, I don’t have to worry too much about other things.

Life is not so comfortable...

Until this morning...

Feeling the spiritual intuition in himself that had not yet faded, listening to the knock on the door, Chao Shenwu shook his head helplessly.

"Although I already knew that my complete withdrawal from the world wouldn't last long..."

"But this is a little too early..."

"Unfortunately, I have already divined three times this morning, and the result is..."
