Proxima Centauri b.

Time flies.

It has been half a year since the last time I went out to purchase supplies.

Marus, number 12, sat anxiously by his bedside.

The atmosphere inside the dormitory was gloomy.

"Number 12, are you sure those two Proxima Centauri people are really trustworthy?" Number 2, Marus's voice broke the silence inside the dormitory.

This is the 873rd time that Marus #2 has asked this question.

Marus, number 12, released his breath and exhaled a deep breath of stale air.

"I think it's something we can trust."

This is the 873rd time that Marus has answered this question.

After he finished speaking, the dormitory fell silent once again.

Time ticked by, and just as Marus's eyelids began to feel heavy, a piercing alarm sounded.

At the same time, countless white lights, symbolizing danger, lit up!

Marus, number 12, opened his eyes in horror and jumped off the bed.

On the smooth skin at the top of his brain, a series of fine bumps instantly appeared!

Like him, the other Marus also jumped off their beds immediately.

"What's going on?!" Number 7, Marus, stared in horror at the flashing white light before him and shouted, "What happened?!"

Marus, number 2, silenced number 7's loud question with a look. Then, he quickly walked to the door, opened a tiny crack with his forelimbs, and peeked out.

A blinding white light.

There were also loud explosions.

"Bang!"

He slammed the door shut and stared at his companion in horror.

"Something terrible has happened!"

...

late at night.

Outside the incubation center.

One by one, strong and healthy Proxima Centauri people gathered together.

Time passed slowly, and more and more Proxima Centauri people gathered outside the incubation center.

With the help of several Proxima Centauri working in information technology, the surveillance measures outside the incubation center failed to detect their presence.

As the organizers, Aquitas and her father, Livay, stood at the front.

Levi glanced at it briefly.

That's about it.

Most of the Proxima Centauri people in the procurement market have arrived.

Among the towering Proxima Centauri were also a large number of short Marus.

"Father, are we really going to start our attack from the incubation center?"

Aquitas voiced the question that was on the minds of all the Proxima Centauri present.

“Yes, Levi, what good would it do us even if we took over the incubation center?”

The Proxima Centauri standing to the side also asked, "Why don't we just storm that damned Academy of Sciences and the Royal Palace and show them what happens when they deceive us!"

A chorus of approving agreement rose from the surrounding crowd.

"Yeah yeah!"

"If those Rex and Lyle want to escape and abandon us here, then let's all just die!"

"Who's afraid of who!"

"Exactly! Brother Levi, it's not too late. Let's head straight to the Academy of Sciences and take care of Lyle inside first! I've been eyeing that black outfit for ages!"

"..."

Livay didn't speak, but silently scanned the crowd.

All the Proxima Centauri present were enveloped in an aura of fanaticism.

He shook his head slightly.

Confidence is important, but this kind of emotion is clearly not what he wants to see.

Levi turned his head and gave the incubation center in front of him a deep look.

The enormous incubation center, resembling a giant disc, lay quietly in the deep darkness of the night.

"Everyone."

"According to the information we have gathered, the incubation center is only equipped with some of the most basic weapons."

"Given our current strength, directly attacking the Academy of Sciences and the Imperial Palace would be tantamount to suicide," Levi said in a deep voice. "Not to mention those laser cannons, those electromagnetic rifles alone would be enough to teach us a painful lesson!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the fervent expressions on everyone's faces gradually cooled down.

"In addition, the incubation center has another benefit."

Levi narrowed his three pairs of eyes slightly and said in a low voice, "Unlike other facilities, there is only one incubation center on the entire Proxima Centauri."

"Those upper-class people want to build spaceships, and they need to rely on incubation centers to create a large workforce!"

"As long as we take over the incubation center..."

"Then we'll have the right to negotiate with the higher-ups!" Aquitas's eyes lit up, and he shouted loudly!

“Well said!” Levi glanced approvingly at his daughter. “In addition, the incubation center has high-powered communication equipment, so we can expose this matter to all Proxima Centauri people.”

"With the pressure from tens of millions of Proxima Centauri, I believe that Lyle and Rex will seriously consider our needs!"

“Of course, besides the reasons mentioned above, there’s another, more personal factor, in choosing the incubation center.” Levi looked at Aquitas and said softly, “You should remember that Marus who called himself number 12, right?”

"As allies, we must protect their safety."

Aquitas nodded repeatedly.

...

"Time is up!"

Levi lowered his wrist, turned off the faint light on his watch, raised his short, thick right arm, and shouted loudly!

"Fellow countrymen! Charge!"

In an instant!

Countless Proxima Centauri beings, swinging their thick, short legs, charged toward the incubation center in front of them!

It was only then that several Proxima Centauri personnel inside the incubation center realized something was wrong and quickly sounded the alarm!

A piercing alarm blared through the sky!

At the same time, countless white beams of light lit up inside the incubation center.

Their natural fear of white light slowed the frenzied Proxima Centauri people down a bit.

But then, pushed and shoved by countless people behind them, the crowd squeezed through the gate and rushed inside!

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

That was the sound of a small explosive device exploding!

Corpses lay scattered along the path of the charge.

But this did not stop them!

Several Proxima Centauri armed with primitive gunpowder weapons quickly launched a counterattack against the incubation center, taking advantage of the terrain.

Although gunpowder firearms are relatively weak, they are still extremely lethal weapons at such close range!

...

"Damn it!"

A gray-clad figure, with fine bumps rising on the top of his mind organ, stared in terror at the monitor in front of him.

On the monitor, countless Proxima Centauri charged forward under the firepower of the incubation center!

He panicked as he watched the incubation center lose one territory after another!

"What are they trying to do!"

"Quickly! Reconnect me to the Academy of Sciences and the Royal Family!"

Rex yelled hoarsely at the staff beside him, "Rebellion! This is a rebellion!"
