594: The Opening
After Lu Li improved the environment of "Fierce Crazy Star", the "Erosion Clan" who were hiding underground also came to the surface to scavenge for resources.
Looking at their dilapidated and desolate homeland, and recalling their former glory, the aliens were all filled with sorrow.
Only the leader, an exceptionally strong man a head taller than the others, remained expressionless, busy scavenging for supplies.
His men also rushed into the ruins to search, focusing on selecting metal items.
Suddenly, someone pulled a dark, pot-lid-like object out of the sand and gravel.
Its face lit up with ecstatic joy, and it hurriedly presented the gift to the leader:
"General Gadon, I have found a complete piece of Ceramic Steel!"
"Here you go!"
The burly man named Garton grinned.
"Ceramic Steel" is hard and extremely resistant to high temperatures, and is often used for the outer armor of Space Battleship.
Currently, the Erosion Clan has lost its technological capabilities and smelting ability, making each piece extremely precious.
Garton tied the "pot lid" to his arm as a shield, and the next second, he twitched his nose and smelled "human scent".
"It's those pieces of trash!"
Garton said coldly, "Go hunt them down, and make sure to capture a few alive for interrogation."
"Yes, Your Excellency General."
Officers at all levels immediately led their men out at breakneck speed, numbering at least 2,000, forming a pocket-shaped encirclement.
The Blue Star people, completely unaware of the impending crisis, were frantically looting the city ruins.
From large flying cars to small tables and chairs, they are all treasures containing boundless technological innovation.
Elites from various countries would love to dismantle the toilets and take them with them.
If such discoveries can be made on the outskirts, what earth-shattering finds can be made if one goes deeper in!
The South Korea tour leader looked into the depths of the city and said through gritted teeth:
"Damn it! Xia Gou must have gone to find the wreckage of that aircraft! A bunch of sons of bitches!"
This resentful Yellow race Jin Qiaoni Kim Jonny.
He was Star Alliance Country astronaut, Navy SEAL, and Harvard Medical School Doctor.
He was also selected to participate in the "Return to the Moon" program, and it seems he is about to land on the moon.
But this incredibly brilliant life came to an abrupt end with the arrival of Lu Li.
Jin Qiaoni was naturally filled with boundless hatred, which extended to all the Xia Country.
He is not an isolated case; almost every team in various countries has talents from the original Star Alliance Country.
Noguchi Shinichi, the leader of the Izumo team, was one of them, and at this moment he spoke up, urging:
"Gentlemen, when the Xia Country's troops return, we might as well go and 'meet' them."
Upon hearing this, the expressions of the people from various countries changed!
This is clearly a highway robbery attempt! Noguchi Shinichi is incredibly audacious to actually do this!
This kind of suicidal gambling is precisely a characteristic of the People of Izumo.
Besides Pearl Harbor, the General who ordered the fleet to open fire in 2016 was also a descendant of the Izumo, almost triggering World War III.
Now, Noguchi Shinichi's gambling addiction has kicked in, and he dares to lay a hand on the Xia Country astronaut.
However, the alien spacecraft contains groundbreaking technology, and once deciphered, it will completely leave its competitors behind and usher in a new era.
After some discussion, the team leaders of England, France, Germany gave their reply:
"For the sake of all humanity, the Xia Country must share the technology of alien spacecraft... but try to avoid conflict."
"We'll go and meet them, negotiate with them, and I believe they'll make a rational judgment."
This is an attempt to use sheer numbers to coerce the Xia Country's forces into handing over their spoils.
It was a compromise that they didn't immediately break off relations.
All the teams accepted this, and then they all came together halfway to intercept them.
No one knew what the consequences of fighting amongst themselves in front of the puppets would be, so they arrived at a point 5 kilometers from the edge of the safe zone.
It's not too far, and with drone reconnaissance, there shouldn't be any major problems.
Meanwhile, the Xia Country team, which was being watched by many, had already arrived at the location of the "Swallow-type fighter jet".
These are carrier-based aircraft of Space Battleship, which are exceptionally robust, and even after a crash, most of the fuselage was preserved.
The group quickly got to work, and with the brute force of the six Organ Refining, they dismantled the engine, avionics, and all the related equipment.
The two Lynx cars were packed full, and Zhang Ge couldn't stop smiling.
Transporting this stuff back and reverse engineering it, even if we only fully understand a small part of it, would be enough to give us a significant technological lead.
Having already gained enough, Zhang Ge was preparing to lead his team to retreat.
Suddenly, the car's computer emitted a piercing alarm!
In the aerial footage transmitted by the "near-orbit satellite," a large group of aliens appeared to be gathering like a dark cloud!
Everyone's expression changed, Zhang Ge immediately shouted, "Evacuate immediately!"
The group immediately turned around and rushed back the way they came, neither car caring about saving fuel, pressing the accelerator pedal hard.
They were less than 20 kilometers from the "safe zone," but after running only 2 kilometers, a small number of enemies were already catching up with them.
"Wow, that's fast! 80 kilometers per hour!"
Those who can run at the speed of a car are all officers of the Erosion Clan.
Not wanting to get bogged down, Zhang Ge quickly tapped twice on the car's computer.
The 20mm cannon on the roof immediately turned its muzzle and, with the assistance of a drone, automatically locked onto the enemy.
With a loud bang, a bullet larger than a thumb was fired, blasting a bowl-sized hole through the chest of an alien.
The immense inertia caused the creature to roll dozens of meters on the ground, killing it instantly.
Zhang Ge was both surprised and delighted. "My points increased by 3 points directly? This is the enemy's elite!"
After defeating the enemy, the familiar interface appeared at the edge of the field of view, displaying points +3.
Before they could investigate further, one of the pursuers pulled back a slingshot and blasted the drone in mid-air to pieces.
The machine gun's automatic target acquisition failed, and the group lost sight of the surrounding area.
The Erosion Clan were not primitive people; they saw through the Blue Star people's tricks at a glance.
Qu Lan reacted quickly, immediately jumping into the vehicle and manually controlling the machine gun to fire suppressive shots towards the rear.
Yang Xu jumped onto another vehicle, and both machine guns opened fire simultaneously, sending bullets flying and deterring the enemy from pursuing closely.
After running for 5 kilometers in this entangled manner, the group heard gunfire and shouts of battle coming from ahead.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be teams from other countries being slaughtered by aliens.
They originally intended to intercept the Xia Country delegation, but their numbers were too large, and they were used as the main force.
General Gadon personally led the troops to encircle and annihilate them.
The dark-skinned, muscular man easily blocked heavy machine gun bullets and recoilless rifle fire with the Ceramic Steel on his arm, without even leaving a scratch.
With a powerful leap, it charged into the crowd, its claws flashing as it disemboweled countless people.
Twenty people died in half a minute, and the human side immediately collapsed.
Moreover, Garton wasn't a lone general; a group of his men rushed forward, tearing the living people apart and eating them.
What the Xia Country group saw was this hellish scene before them.
Zhang Ge shouted, "I'll launch missiles to clear the way! You all stop hiding and charge forward with all your might!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the rockets suspended by the two Lynx vehicles roared out and hit the alien swarm directly in front of them.
Four dazzling bursts of fire exploded, instantly clearing a path.
