Chapter 008: Burrowing In

After Wang Bo returned to the base, Xiao Bai and Xiao Qing had already gone back to the Time Villa to cultivate.

To help Wang Bo as soon as possible, the two women chose to cultivate in the Time Villa. After all, one day outside was equivalent to forty-eight days inside, which was perfect for cultivation.

Moreover, besides cultivation, there were many demons and hellish creatures inside to serve as their opponents, honing their combat skills.

There were even dragons.

The two women's strength improved rapidly, but even so, catching up to Wang Bo remained a distant dream.

At least in this world, the two women couldn't really help Wang Bo much.

Although monsters were nothing in Wang Bo's eyes, for Xiao Bai and Xiao Qing, they were still colossal foes that were hard to contend with. Not to mention other things, just their hundred-meter stature and thousands of tons of weight were beyond the two women's ability to抗衡.

Inside the base, Wang Bo brought the Transformer Friday out of the Time Villa and had her connect to the network to search for traces of Wonder Woman.

Friday nodded without any complaint and obediently began working.

Wang Bo liked this about Miss Friday.

She never complained to him, only followed Wang Bo's orders. To be honest, having such a capable Transformer helper saved Wang Bo a lot of trouble.

He grew fonder of Friday.

If Wang Bo had the ability to upgrade, he would definitely upgrade Friday.

The next few days were calm.

The whole world was still frantically searching for Wonder Woman and her team, hoping to gain her help.

But unfortunately, Diana's hiding skills were superior. No matter how the United Nations searched, they couldn't find Diana's trail, including Wang Bo's subordinate, Miss Friday.

After taking over the network, Miss Friday used various methods to try to find Wonder Woman Diana.

But the results were all the same: failure.

It was as if she wasn't on this planet.

This was of course not because Miss Friday was incompetent, but because there were too many blank spots in this world—for instance, cities destroyed by monsters, where cameras were damaged and filled with nuclear radiation.

Humans simply couldn't live there.

However, such nuclear radiation probably meant nothing to Wonder Woman.

If she was really hiding in such places, it was normal that the network couldn't find her.

After several failed searches, Wang Bo finally understood that there was only one way to find Wonder Woman Diana.

That was to wait for her to appear on her own.

And Diana's appearance usually coincided with a monster's arrival.

So Wang Bo had Friday give up searching for Diana and instead focus entirely on tracking monsters.

Fortunately, Wang Bo didn't have to wait long this time.

September 27, 2024.

About half a month after Wang Bo arrived in this world, a new monster appeared—a new Category IV monster invaded Lima, Peru.

Lima was one of the eight major Jaeger bases in the world.

It was the first Jaeger base built in the Southern Hemisphere. In its heyday, three Jaegers served there: Dark Interceptor, Puma, and Matador's Fury.

Actually, there was another Jaeger called Invisible Ronin that was also built and served there.

But later, Invisible Ronin was transferred to Tokyo for service.

So Lima was left with three Jaegers.

However, through repeated battles with monsters, enduring the storm of monster attacks, two of those Jaegers had been destroyed.

Dark Interceptor and Matador's Fury were both destroyed after 2020.

Now, the vast Lima base had only one Jaeger holding the line.

Puma.

But the problem was that Puma was the first Jaeger of the Republic of Panama, nominally belonging to the Lima base. As a Panamanian Jaeger, its main mission was to guard the Panama Canal, preventing monsters from entering the Atlantic through the canal. Since its construction, Puma had always been stationed at the Panama City base and had never been deployed in battle.

When the monster struck, the United Nations couldn't guarantee whether Puma would be of any use.

So they planned to urgently dispatch another Jaeger to confront the monster.

Horizon Brave was ordered to deploy.

Meanwhile, Wang Bo was secretly observing every move on the Lima battlefield, monitoring both the monster's trajectory and the United Nations' response.

But the problem was, that wasn't what Wang Bo wanted.

What he wanted was Wonder Woman Diana.

According to previous patterns, whenever a monster appeared, Wonder Woman Diana would always emerge from an unexpected place with her shield and sword, kill the monster, and then leave.

Since Wang Bo arrived in this world, he hadn't done anything remarkable, so he probably hadn't affected Wonder Woman.

Time ticked by.

The high-ranking officials of the United Nations had turned their attention to the Lima battlefield.

On the big screen at the Hong Kong base, the battle was being broadcast.

A colossal creature nearly a hundred meters tall slowly surfaced and approached Lima, while Horizon Brave was en route.

The two were expected to make contact and engage in battle in exactly thirteen minutes.

Wang Bo's eyes shifted, staring unblinkingly at the battlefield.

Thirteen minutes, twelve minutes, eleven minutes, ten minutes, nine minutes, eight minutes...

When there were five minutes left, the water in front of the monster suddenly exploded. A lithe woman shot out from the sea, holding a shield in her left hand and a blade in her right. Like a tiny ant, she charged fearlessly at the giant.

Wang Bo's eyes lit up.

Finally found you.

Wonder Woman Diana.

Diana shot out from the sea, and her blade effortlessly pierced the monster's skin, sinking into its body.

But this level of damage meant nothing to the monster.

For a thick-skinned monster, such an injury was like a human being bitten by a mosquito.

Diana knew this well, but she had already planned ahead. She slashed a gash in the monster's body and burrowed inside. The monster's blood was highly toxic, but that toxicity was nothing in Diana's eyes.

She followed the monster's insides, killing her way toward its brain.

Undoubtedly, this was the right approach. Even a monster couldn't reach its own insides with its claws to pull out the ant that had burrowed inside.

Even if the monster tried, it would only hurt itself the most.

With Wonder Woman Diana's strength, it wouldn't take long for her to reach the monster's brain and destroy it.

Even a monster was still a living being.

Without a brain, it would die just the same.
