216: Surgery

MacArthur frowned.

In fact, Adolf's idea was exactly his own.

Tigers are solitary creatures by nature; once released, the entire America might become a living hell.

They simply couldn't completely defend against such an agile enemy.

In the distant East, a nation had long proven the terror of guerrilla warfare.

Therefore, if they were to act against Tiger King Farm, it had to be a decisive, fatal blow.

If the Tiger King were to escape, it would undoubtedly cause endless devastation.

After thinking for a full hour, MacArthur finally chose to give up.

He didn't yet have the courage to declare full-scale war on Lin Tianwei.

Even though the appearance of Black Fiend gave him immense confidence.

Even though all data indicated that America could already crush Lin Tianwei, he still lacked the courage to confront Lin Tianwei directly.

In other words, MacArthur had been thoroughly intimidated by Lin Tianwei.

Lin Tianwei was now a fear deeply etched into his heart.

Unless Lin Tianwei was completely dead, this fear would only deepen with time, impossible to overcome.

Thinking of this, MacArthur continued to ask, "Let's put Tiger King Farm aside for now, and talk about Crazy Zoo."

"We should now have the strength to overwhelm these Awakened Beasts."

"If we're not entirely confident, we can request assistance from Ismail."

"Try to minimize the damage from this battle."

"After all, this is our land; if it's damaged, we're the ones who ultimately bear the consequences."

MacArthur's words surprised Adolf greatly.

Why not discuss Tiger King Farm?

The situation was now stronger than the tiger, making it the perfect time to directly push through Tiger King Farm.

While tianqing no. and Black Fiend seemed powerful, they actually had little room for growth left.

The moment tianqing no. was born, its growth ceiling was already determined.

At most, it could only add some auxiliary combat modules.

And Black Fiend?

Having assembled countless powerful Awakened creature parts, it had almost reached its limit.

After all, it was a terrifying monster born from gathering all the resources of the entire Blue Star.

It was basically very difficult to find new parts that could directly replace existing ones.

According to Adolf's understanding, they could simply add Mental Shield modules to them and proceed.

Launching a destructive strike directly against Tiger King Farm.

But now, what did he hear?

MacArthur actually avoided discussing Tiger King Farm, instead focusing on the issue of Crazy Zoo.

Although Crazy Zoo was a powerful human forbidden zone, compared to Tiger King Farm, it was completely insignificant.

Facing the encirclement and suppression of Black Fiend and tianqing no., they had no hope of survival whatsoever.

The only thing to worry about might be not causing too much destruction.

To avoid wasting America's resources on repairs.

Thinking of this, Adolf disregarded everything else and spoke directly, "General MacArthur, I think the matter of Crazy Zoo can be put aside."

"Tiger King Farm is the enemy we should focus on."

"Crazy Zoo can be dealt with at any time."

"But Tiger King Farm is different; if it remains, it will be a scourge sooner or later."

"We shouldn't just look at combat power, but also at the harm."

"Due to Tiger King Farm's excessive contact with humans, the 'happy life' they advocate has caused unnecessary trouble throughout America."

"Countless Americans, swayed by Tiger King Farm, have actually developed the idea of 'running away'."

"They actually want to abandon their own land and 'run away' to live in Tiger King Farm, which is an unforgivable matter."

"Coupled with the fact that Ouro, the owner of Tiger King Farm, is a swindler skilled at inciting people's hearts."

"Once those foolish people are incited by Tiger King Farm and develop some undesirable thoughts."

"That, for us, is the real trouble."

"In comparison, Nature Tree poses less of a threat to us."

"Although it occupies a large area of land and has somehow subdued a large number of powerful Awakened Beasts."

"But this kind of straightforward brute is the easiest to deal with; as long as we have enough resources, we can always possess enough combat power to crush it."

"Uproot it completely, destroy it thoroughly."

Looking at the agitated Adolf, MacArthur sighed and said, "Do you think I don't know the dangers of Tiger King Farm?"

"Compared to other human forbidden zones, it's more like a soft knife, killing without blood."

"It is truly a forbidden zone that poses a huge threat to America."

"It's just a pity that the Tiger King's true form hasn't appeared, and I really don't have much confidence in being able to completely eliminate the Tiger King."

"Awakened Rose, Awakened Bee, Hellfire Ants!"

"Just his three capable subordinates alone form three incredibly terrifying lines of defense."

"Coupled with the unknown depth of the Tiger King's true self, acting against Tiger King Farm now is definitely not a wise choice."

"Instead, it's better to first conquer Crazy Zoo, where we have great confidence."

"Killing and capturing them might allow our strength to improve."

"That ability to perfectly Awaken the entire Zoo is exactly what plan b lacks most."

"With such powerful strength, with the ebb and flow, we will also have more confidence."

"As for Nature Tree? It is indeed an annoying fellow."

"But it's just annoying; we will uproot it sooner or later."

"Don't talk nonsense, execute as I've said."

"Quickly draft a battle plan."

"Before we deal with Tiger King Farm, we'll start with Crazy Zoo."

"It is said there is a magical Awakened Beast there that can make ordinary Awakened Beasts even stronger."

"Once captured, the strength of the entire America will be greatly enhanced!"

"Many times, it is these special resources that are most important."

Looking at the serious MacArthur, Adolf finally didn't speak.

After a heavy sigh, he turned and left.

General MacArthur truly couldn't distinguish the priority, who posed the greatest threat to America.

Leaving aside everything else, just the food required by Tiger King Farm every day was terrifying.

If it weren't for the Tiger King not being picky, and the continuous development of Tiger King Farm leading to incredibly massive food production.

Just these food resources alone were an incredibly terrifying consumption for America.

But it didn't matter, he would quickly conquer Crazy Zoo.

This way, it wouldn't delay the attack on Tiger King Farm.

Thinking of this, Adolf's pace quickened slightly.

He had to quickly devise a perfect plan to successfully conquer Crazy Zoo.

tianqing no.?

Black Fiend?

No, no, no!

It was just a Crazy Zoo; they didn't need to be deployed at all.

Such ultimate weapons, of course, were to be saved for the most crucial moments.

Moreover, they were still undergoing Mental Shield upgrades, so they absolutely couldn't be used at this time.

The power of Crazy Zoo was merely in its countless Awakened Beasts.

America possessed an even more terrifying number of standardized mechas.

In this battle, victory could be achieved by mechas alone.

It must be said that America's efficiency was very high.

A battle plan was quickly formulated, and under MacArthur's authorization, a fierce attack was launched against Crazy Zoo.

A full five hundred standardized mechas, led by Frank, set out again.

This time, they faced another human forbidden zone.

An equally dangerous human forbidden zone.

This was also the first battle for the human mecha army.

Would the mechas, embodying human technology, be more powerful, or would the naturally Awakened Beasts be stronger?

Perhaps this battle could reveal a thing or two.

Since unit 001 mecha had been largely destroyed and was still under repair.

At this time, Frank could only temporarily use ordinary standardized mechas.

Five-seven-eight was his current designation.

Without hesitation, Frank directly drew the Wind Gold Dagger from his back.

This time, he firmly believed he would never be as disheveled as he was during the last exploration of Misty Forest.

Bang, bang, bang!

The immense weight of the mechas was equally terrifying.

Every step was enough to make the earth tremble.

Little by little, they rushed towards the forbidden zone named Crazy Zoo.

Chirp, chirp, chirp... Urgent alarm sounds echoed throughout the city.

Those were the cries of the Awakened Swiftbirds responsible for vigilance, attempting to notify the entire area that a powerful enemy was invading.

However, before it could cry for long, an arrow, incredibly fast, shot towards it.

Although the Wind Gold Dagger was a standard mecha equipment.

But for some specialized pilots, bows and crossbows were also very suitable equipment.

Under the effects of new materials and Reinforcement abilities, these cold weapons could actually unleash greater power than hot weapons.

That arrow just now came from the hand of a mecha, hitting the bullseye at extreme speed, striking the Awakened Swiftbird that was sounding the alarm.

The twelve-meter-long arrow directly pierced through the Swiftbird's body, carrying it away, and crashing it hard against a nearby building.

Instant kill!

The powerful force attached to the arrow even had residual power after tearing through the Swiftbird's body.

It wasn't until it completely pierced through the tall building and emerged from the other side that it slowly fell to the ground due to exhaustion.

How terrifying!

Although this arrow was fast enough, the Swiftbird had still transmitted the information.

Frank and the others naturally couldn't be unaware of this situation.

The reason they shot the Swiftbird was more like a show of force.

A demonstration to this Crazy Zoo, which humans had named a human forbidden zone.

Telling them that humans had arrived.

This city was about to return to the embrace of humanity.

Humans would reclaim Crazy Zoo from these seemingly powerful Awakened Beasts by force.

The death of the Swiftbird was the best proof.

Roar~~~~~~~~

Woo~~~~~~~~

Awoo~~~~~~~~

...Responding to that arrow were countless roars.

Roars from countless ferocious Awakened Beasts.

The death of the Swiftbird undoubtedly enraged them.

They would launch a desperate strike against those who dared to invade their home.

Until death!

As the sounds of roaring gradually approached, a group of enormous Awakened Beasts came into view.

Lions, elephants, tigers, black bears, grizzly bears, brown bears, hippos, Rhinos... these once ornamental beasts, kept in Zoos by Americans.

Now, for the freedom they had so hard-won, they unhesitatingly bared their sharp fangs.

However, when they clearly saw the invading enemies, they were instantly dumbfounded.

They were incredibly massive mechas, one after another.

Mechas completely similar to humans.

Their huge size, which had swelled due to mutation and evolution, once again fell into a disadvantage.

Making them recall the time when they were enslaved by humans.

Their courage immediately drained away.

If they couldn't gain an advantage in size, it would be very difficult for them to contend with humans who possessed powerful weapons.

They would only become toys to be slaughtered at will.

Even if they still possessed powerful abilities.

But who could guarantee that these huge human machines in front of them didn't have other means?

This was the power of a mecha squadron numbering as high as five hundred.

Just the sight of them was enough to strike fear into most Awakened creatures, making them unable to muster any courage to resist.

Just as the beasts in Crazy Zoo paused in their momentum, caught in the hesitation of whether to attack, a roar rang out.

Hiss~~~~~~~~

Hearing this roar, the Awakened Beasts immediately perked up.

Their eyes no longer looked confused, returning to their initial determined state.

They had to fight these mechas.

Even if it meant sacrificing their lives, they would not hesitate.

Although they didn't know why, that's just how they felt.

As the Awakened Beasts' eyes gradually turned fierce, a great battle was on the verge of breaking out.

Whoosh!

Another arrow shot towards the leading Awakened Tiger.

This was war, not some turn-based game.

Moreover, facing an alien race, humans would not adhere to martial ethics.

Naturally, they launched a sneak attack on the Awakened Beasts at the first opportunity.

The war thus began.

Thump.

With a muffled sound, that seemingly indestructible arrow was intercepted.

It was the Awakened Elephant beside the Awakened Tiger.

With a gentle swing of its long trunk, it struck down the arrow at an even faster speed.

Receiving such a provocation, that Awakened Tiger was also extremely furious.

It let out a roar and moved to attack these mechas.

Even though it was only five meters long, it showed no fear facing these behemoths.

This was the land king's self-confidence... Thump.

Buzz.

Whine... Various sounds rose and fell, describing the brutality of this battle.

However, beneath this overt war, there was another hidden war.

Five people.

Or rather, five eerie beings who were once human.

They were clad in black robes that covered their entire bodies, secretly avoiding the warring factions, heading towards the depths of Crazy Zoo.

The hiss that erupted before the battle was their target.

They had reason to believe that it was the Lord of the Forbidden Zone hidden behind Crazy Zoo.

The reason Crazy Zoo was so powerful.

Although the five people were heavily obscured.

But just from their appearance, one could tell that they were definitely not ordinary people.

The leader's right arm was incredibly thick, appearing extremely disproportionate to the rest of his body.

He was currently carrying a huge wooden box and hurrying forward.

Most of the other four were similar.

Upon closer inspection, one would notice that some parts of their bodies always seemed extremely disproportionate.

As if some parts that didn't belong to them were forcibly pieced onto their bodies, strangely deliberate. (End of Chapter)
