Chapter 539 The Enemy Has Arrived
She had long been aware of the difficulty of purification. It seemed that the longer the pollution remained in a person's spirit, the more stubborn the lesions would become, and the more difficult it would be to purify them.
Four days have passed in the blink of an eye. Today is the day the mourning team returns, and also the day the first batch of eliminated children are sent back.
We could have sent some back earlier or later, but yesterday, several children were clamoring to go back, including some who hadn't been eliminated.
They contacted the children's families and relatives, who strongly urged the children to return home. They also stated that a spaceship had been dispatched outside the defense range of Azure Star to intercept them.
Qi Bai came over to report to Gu Qing, who then told him to write down the names of the children and send them out according to their requests.
"How did it go?" Gu Qing, dressed in her combat uniform, watched the spaceship disappear into the horizon.
"Everything has been arranged." Qi Bai stood next to her, Lou Xiaoyu sat on her other side, and Bei Wang was in the children's activity room with the three children.
Once in outer space, the people left behind by Bo Chuan will escort the spaceship on a short journey to their planet's defense perimeter to pick it up.
Everyone followed the standard handover procedure: guarding, patrolling, and navigating. But just as they approached the boundary of outer space, a shell landed in front of their spaceship.
Although it didn't hit the spaceship, the aftershocks still made it shake. Fortunately, we had taken precautions, so it only shook and there was no other damage.
The escorting warships quickly surrounded and counterattacked, and in the blink of an eye, a fierce firefight ensued.
At the same time, various information storms blocked communication, attempting to sever the enemy's connection with their rear. The war was small in scale, but it was fought fiercely.
However, no matter how much they provoked and attacked, they didn't receive much reinforcements on this side.
Gu Qing looked at the projection screen when Jin Beiwang pushed the door open and entered. She was currently in a conference room, opposite which were projections of Bo Chuan, Chen Xingheng, and Yan Anli.
Standing behind her was Qi Bai, with Lou Xiaoyu sitting right next to him. Jin Beiwang sat directly on the other side of Gu Qing, and greeted several people as he walked over.
Just as he was about to say something, a rapid ringtone sounded on Bo Chuan's end. Bo Chuan glanced down at it, then answered a call and nodded solemnly as if agreeing to something.
After Bo Chuan hung up the call, he noticed everyone's gaze and said with a serious expression, "The mission from the capital just now: the mourning party encountered an attack by the Zerg, and I was asked to dispatch manpower for rescue."
Although this was all expected, when the moment actually arrived, everyone's expressions were still quite grim.
Lou Xiaoyu leaned back in her chair, scoffing. "The federal government is almost completely corrupted, dragged into making this decision by someone who fled to the underworld. It's not far from collapsing."
Yan Anli frowned upon hearing this. He had been educated from childhood to be a guardian of the Federation, although he knew that corruption and selfishness were inevitable.
But he couldn't stand hearing others slander him like that; he had always protected the government and the people, after all, that was his belief.
"It's inevitable that good and bad will come together. With the help of the mastermind, the Federation's system is constantly being improved. Isn't our goal to make tomorrow better than today?"
No one else said anything, except Lou Xiaoyu, who just pursed her lips. Maybe that was his purpose, but what did it have to do with her? All she wanted was to spend every day happily with Qingqing.
It's best not to say this, it's easy to start a fight.
While they were discussing, Bo Chuan had already issued an order for Zhu Jian to lead a group of people to provide support. No matter what, orders from superiors must be obeyed.
The matter wasn't over yet when an emergency alarm sounded on Qi Bai's smart device. Qi Bai quickly opened the smart device to deal with the situation while explaining to everyone.
"Someone attacked the AI robot at the training base, injuring several children. Fortunately, we were prepared and the rescue was timely, so there were no other problems."
The truth is that Phoebe discovered the moment the other side broke through the planetary network's defenses, though she initially thought they would attack the defense network here as well.
Unexpectedly, they directly attacked the AI robot on the opposite land, but the AI robot had already implemented layers of defense before being used.
In addition, although it was unexpected, there were precautions in advance. This time, only a few nanny robots were controlled. Although some of the children were injured, their reaction speed and alertness were quite good after screening.
This also ensured that no one's life was in danger.
