A foreigner's journey

Midgar, HRE headquarters building.

At this time, standing in front of the building is a huge cannon barrel that is twice the size of the headquarters building. There are a large number of fan blade-shaped booster valves on both sides of the gun barrel to enhance the magic energy output. Countless pipes connect the six magic furnaces and the magic in the surrounding areas. The energy transfer pipe is connected to the energy zone behind the cannon.

With the entire Shinra headquarters building as its base, the Midgar Cannon is one of the most powerful man-made technological weapons on the planet at this moment.

Shinra President Rufus stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window with his hands behind his back and looked down. This was the highest point in Midgar, and he had a clear view of the cannon barrels.

The Mako energy pipeline is being transported to Junon and Midgar in an orderly manner, and the turret rotation and movement device of the Midgar cannon is about to be completed.

There was a rustling noise coming from the mobile phone placed on the table, and it was obvious that the other end was seriously disturbed.

[Sha...the agricultural artillery is ready...Sha...can launch a bombardment at any time...]

"Well, thank you for your hard work. Please wait for my orders for now."

[Sha...yes! 】

Click, the other end of the phone hung up.

The Junon Cannon is already in position, and the fierce bombardment is enough to destroy the protective shield of the Great Hollow in the North with one blow, and even Sephiroth hiding in it may be wiped out. Wait until the Midgar cannon smashes that damn meteorite overhead, then...

The hero who saves the planet is me, Rufus!

Thinking of this, Rufas's hands behind his back were clasped together tightly, until the joints turned white.

Suddenly, a figure broke into the office regardless of the guards and shouted: "President, please wait a moment!"

Rufus said without looking back: "Levi, we have already talked about the reconstruction of Midgar..."

"No! Please take a look at this!" Li Wei, the director of the urban development department, shouted impatiently, holding a laptop computer.

Rufus still valued Levi very much. He turned around and took the laptop handed over by Levi. His face froze as soon as he saw the picture on the screen: "This is..."

On the screen is the battlefield of the Great Hollow in the north, with the majestic Alexander the Machine approaching the Great Hollow Mountains, towering into the clouds.

"It was a picture transmitted by Tuckers at the risk of his own death. They found traces of Heather and his party in the Northern Continent and followed them to the Great Hollow in the North."

Levi spoke very quickly: "Although I don't know why Tuckers' supervisor didn't submit this video to you, I feel it is necessary to inform you about this!"

ever? By the way, I haven't seen Zeng for a while. Rufus frowned, and then the picture on the screen suddenly trembled, and the screams and exclamations of Tuckers agent Reno and others were heard.

After waiting for a few seconds, the screen returned to normal. The ground and mountains around the large hollow in the north had cracked, but the protective shield still existed. Obviously, there was no winner between the machine god and the protective shield just now.

The camera was zoomed in by Renault on the other side, and Heather and others could be vaguely seen standing in the distance.

Rufas rubbed his chin: "Heather and the others also want to open the protective shield... I have heard about [Machine God]'s summoning stone. If the Machine God strikes with all his strength, it may be able to cause heavy damage to the protective shield. However, We can push behind, Levi, contact the supervisor over at the Junon Cannon, and prepare to launch a bombardment on the protective shield above the large hollow in the north."

"...Yes." Levi could only believe Rufus at this time. He picked up the phone and started dialing the number: "Hello, I am Levi. I am conveying the president's order to enter the cannon knockdown timer."

【yes! The countdown begins! 10, 9, 8...]

"Huh? Wait a minute..." Rufus suddenly stopped Levi, because the machine god in the picture had his muzzle opened, and the infinite light flow condensed, obviously intending to launch the strongest blow against the protective shield.

But soon, the stream of light flickered violently, and the machine god extinguished all the muzzle fires as if it was forced to shut down. Its arms also slammed to the ground, sending up smoke and dust all over the sky.

"Aborted? Why?"

Rufus's mind began to race. Heather could have asked the machine god to forcefully break the protective barrier but didn't do so. Was she worried about something? He obviously used a physical attack on the protective shield, but stopped the energy attack... There is something wrong with that protective shield!

"Stop the bombardment immediately!"

Rufus's roar resounded throughout the office and could be heard on the other side of the phone without Levi's need to relay it.

【well? Ming, understand! Stop the bombardment! Stop the bombardment! Start the emergency abort procedure! 】

There was a burst of noise and rapid running, and as the countdown approached 2 seconds, the Junon Cannon's bombardment was forcibly stopped. However, because the emergency abort procedure will cause great damage to the cannon body, Junon's cannon will not be able to be activated again for a while.

Levi wiped his sweat and was about to ask Rufus what happened just now, when suddenly a sad alarm sounded throughout the building.

The phone on Rufus' desk rang. As soon as it rang, Rufas rushed over and grabbed the phone: "It's me! What happened?"

[Report, report to the president! The Midgar cannon operation room was attacked, Director Scarlet's whereabouts were unknown, and the guards suffered heavy casualties. We can't... Wow! ! 】

There was the sound of falling to the ground on the other end of the phone, and the faint roar and rapid running of the monster could be heard.

"Hey! Hey! Can you hear me? Damn it!"

Rufus hurried to the floor-to-ceiling window and saw that the pipes used to transport Mako energy around the cannon glowed with intense bright green light, which meant that a large amount of Mako was being transported through the pipes to the energy bin of the cannon body. This It was a precursor to an imminent bombardment.

Rufus' face was extremely ugly: "Who is so bold? I clearly did not allow Midgar cannon to prepare for bombardment! Levi, get down."

He pulled out a gorgeous large-caliber pistol from behind his waist and fired several shots at the office door behind Levi. The door made of luxurious wood was blown apart by special bullets, revealing a huge and ferocious monster behind the door. This monster seemed to have just arrived here and planned to launch a sneak attack, but Rufus discovered it in advance and killed it.

Rufus walked over and found that the shape of the monster looked familiar. It seemed to be one of the samples in the culture tank of the science department.

"Is the science department out of control? Levi, follow me."

Ignoring the white leather shoes stained red with blood, Rufus walked quickly over the monster's corpse. Although Levi has outstanding talents, he has no fighting ability. He didn't bring the cat-shaped robot he usually used to relieve worries and boredom with him, so he had to follow Rufus all the way to the top hall.

At this time, the hall was in a mess. The gun-wielding guards were torn apart by the monsters before they could even fire a single shot. They were all lying in a pool of blood. The lights above their heads flickered on and off. I don’t know how many monsters were lurking in the darkness. The piercing sirens that kept sounding continued to stimulate Levi's nerves.

"President, are we going to break out?" Without the protection of guards, Levi could only rely on Rufus, who seemed to have some fighting ability.

Rufus changed the magazine of the pistol and took out another pistol: "No, let's go to the cannon control room."

Look, Heather, I, Rufus, am the real hero who saves the planet!
