Angelic Doubts!!!

Long Qian was enjoying peace and quiet with an angel by his side, but Dukao, at the Super Seminary base in Juxia City, wore a troubled expression.

"Any good news from the front lines? Have Qiangwei and Ajie arrived?"

In the Super Seminary's command center, Dukao was overwhelmed. He urgently needed news from the front to report to his superiors.

The sudden alien invasion had disrupted his plans.

Moreover, this alien invasion had exposed Earth's weaknesses, particularly the inadequacy of real-time monitoring.

"Reporting, Chief, there's good news and bad news. Which do you want to hear first?!"

Lianfeng, who was receiving the messages, spoke to Dukao, who was pacing back and forth.

"Stop playing games and tell me quickly! You're killing me with worry!"

Dukao was genuinely anxious and made no effort to hide it.

"The good news is that the alien mecha warriors that attacked have all been eliminated, and their aircraft have been preserved intact."

"Good, good, good! That's great! It seems our Earth's firepower is still effective against them."

Before Lianfeng could finish speaking, Dukao repeatedly exclaimed "good," completely forgetting that Lianfeng had bad news as well.

Seeing Dukao's joyous reaction, Lianfeng wished their artillery had been effective against the alien mecha warriors. However, things didn't go as planned; reality was harsh. She didn't want to dampen Dukao's spirits, but the facts were undeniable.

"Chief, there's also bad news. The bad news is that the Angels joined the battlefield and instantly killed those alien mecha warriors. Our firepower is incapable of causing substantial damage to these aliens."

"Gah..."

Lianfeng's concluding words were like a bucket of cold water doused directly on Dukao's head, leaving him utterly chilled.

His spirits, which had been soaring, plummeted instantly, and his mood soured.

While it was indeed good for Earth if the Angels intervened, their civilization's philosophy differed somewhat from Earth's. It was impossible for Earth's civilization to fully accept the rule of the Angelic civilization.

"Are you sure it was Angels?"

"Confirmed. Furthermore, our system detected the activation of a super-gene that does not belong to the Deno Civilization – a Shenhe Sniper."

Lianfeng considered this an unexpected bonus. A sniper could be a critical factor in determining the outcome of a battle.

"Tell Qiangwei and the others to gather more information, especially any complete surveillance footage, and bring it back."

Huaxia now had a complete Skynet surveillance system. The route from Feiliu District to Feiliu Airport had dozens, if not hundreds, of surveillance cameras, which would surely have recorded the details.

They needed this data to analyze the situation, to understand why the Angels had intervened.

Meanwhile, on the Airport Road in Feiliu District.

Qiangwei and Ajie, who had arrived late, were helping soldiers treat the wounded and clean up the battlefield.

Their gazes darted back and forth between several damaged mechas. The more they looked, the more astonished they became.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, Qiangwei, look at these smooth cuts. This wasn't caused by ordinary weapons. Based on the scene, these alien mecha warriors were instantly sliced. That one over there looks like it was cut by a weapon combined with intense heat. These Angels are truly terrifying.

Look, our artillery fire barely caused any damage to their exteriors. The fatal wounds were inflicted by these weapons. I think these weapons could cut through our Black Armor."

Ajie muttered to himself, analyzing the pile of mangled mechas.

"Angels with three pairs of wings... Is this their full power form? The Angel that appeared in Tianhe City only had one pair of wings."

Qiangwei listened to Ajie's analysis while forcing herself to remain calm.

Looking at the wreckage of fighter jets and tanks scattered everywhere, she couldn't help but tear up. These fallen soldiers were her comrades.

After gathering the information, they approached a soldier to ask.

"Hello, I am Sergeant Dukao Qiangwei. Here are my credentials. Do you know where the Angel who helped is, or where they went?"

"Hello, Sergeant Dukao Qiangwei, Major Ajie. According to the information I have, that Angel seemed to have come from the rear. They appeared suddenly and vanished just as suddenly."

"Alright, thank you for your trouble."

"It's no trouble. Protecting our country is our duty."

Just then, Qiangwei's phone rang.

"Qiangwei, you've arrived, haven't you?"

"Auntie Lianfeng, we've arrived."

"Good. According to the dark energy information from Deno Three, there's an anomaly about three kilometers ahead of you. Go and check it out."

"Okay, we're heading there now. Ajie, let's go."

After hanging up, Qiangwei and Ajie quickly headed to the location Lianfeng indicated. However, upon their arrival, they were met with the sight of wrecked armored vehicles and police cars everywhere.

But they also noticed something unusual about the area.

"Qiangwei, something's not right. Look at this place. There shouldn't be any buildings here, yet it's covered in the debris of structures – concrete blocks, rebar, doors, windows, even shattered glass."

As a highly trained special forces commander, Ajie was the first to sense that something was amiss.

Along the Ring Expressway, there shouldn't be any illegal constructions, especially not on the stretch between Feiliu District and Feiliu Airport.

"This place looks exactly like the foundation of a house to me."

Qiangwei also sensed something was wrong. She felt that the incomplete building materials should belong to a building.

But this was clearly the Ring Expressway. There were roads all around, so where could the foundation of a house come from? If she remembered correctly, there were definitely no buildings here when she came last week.

Buildings appearing on the Ring Expressway—did that make sense? It really didn't.

However, she didn't have time to think about it and began searching the area for the special energy source Lianfeng had mentioned.

"Huh? What's this, a toy???"

After that, Qiangwei found a dark toy in the nearby grass. It was faintly glowing.

The toy looked a bit like a slingshot, but it wasn't. It felt very substantial, and she couldn't tell what kind of toy it was at first.

Of course, without a second thought, she pocketed the toy.

"Qiangwei, this place is a bit suspicious. You should head back. I'll check the planning maps for Feiliu District. The vehicle cameras around here have all been destroyed. It looks like we won't have any other leads." Ajie had surveyed the area and found that the cameras and dashcams had been too severely damaged to be preserved intact like those at the very center of the previous battlefield.

His intuition told him there were significant doubts about this place, and perhaps they should question the injured individuals who appeared here.

"Okay... fine."

Qiangwei searched the area for a long time without finding any special energy source. She then called Lianfeng.

"Aunt Lianfeng, are you sure it's in our area?"

"That's right, that special energy source should still be there. Search carefully. It just moved, but it should have been covered up by the time you arrived!!!"

Lianfeng was stunned when she heard Qiangwei's question. She thought Qiangwei and the others had found it.

"It moved? I think I might have found what you're talking about."

Qiangwei's intuition told her that the special energy source Lianfeng mentioned was likely the toy she had picked up.

As it was getting late, she didn't know what this thing was. She decided to take it back to the Super Seminary base for Aunt Lianfeng to study thoroughly.
