When alien forces intertwined with the earth, the mountains, rivers, lakes and seas of the past had long become strange and bizarre. The familiar terrain was replaced by countless cracks, floating islands, and abyssal whirlpools.

The area of ​​the Earth has expanded tens of thousands of times, and a distance that once took only a few hours now takes months or even years to traverse.

Those bases that were once regarded as the last line of defense on Earth have also lost contact one after another in this great change in the world.

The Xuanwu base can no longer communicate with the White Tiger base in the former Sichuan region.

The land that once gave birth to countless human hopes may now have been swallowed up by wasteland, or... has long ceased to exist.

Song Lufeng stood on the top of the command tower of the Xuanwu base, gazing at the desolate sky with deep eyes.

Behind him is a huge migrating team. Five million people are relying on the power provided by the Xuanwu Base and moving towards a new shelter.

However, no one expected that a real disaster was about to strike.

The moment the meteorite fell, the entire sky seemed to have cracked open.

The fireballs burning in the sky dragged blazing tails of flames, like a huge galaxy falling, and each meteorite brought with it a sharp roar that tore through the atmosphere.

The entire sky turned red, the fire dyed the night through, and the originally silent wasteland was illuminated like a burning hell.

When the first meteorite fell, the earthquake shook.

Then came the second one, the third one... Each roar was like a roar between heaven and earth, tearing the originally solemn atmosphere above the Xuanwu base into pieces.

“Bang—!”

In the distance, a deserted mountain range was directly hit by a meteorite. The scorching shock wave swept through, instantly blasting the entire mountain range into countless pieces.

Rocks flew and boiling flames gushed out, forming a huge sea of ​​​​fire, and thick smoke extended into the sky like the tentacles of a demon.

The sentry outside the Xuanwu base witnessed all of this with his own eyes. His body was stiff, and he even forgot to move his legs. The air was filled with the smell of sulfur and burning. He could only tremble and shout into the communicator:

"Meteor... It's a meteorite shower!"

As the sound fell, another larger meteorite, dragging a long tail of fire, slammed into the ground.

This time, it landed only 20 kilometers away from the Xuanwu base. The shock wave lifted up a large area of ​​the ground, and the soil rolled in all directions like a huge wave.

The heat wave generated by the explosion still caused the buildings outside the base to tremble even from a long distance.

"Energy shield activated!" Inside the command center, the technician's voice trembled with nervousness, and his fingers rapidly tapped on the console.

The energy shield surrounding the Xuanwu base finally rose at this time, and the faint blue light shrouded the base like a thin film, but in this endless rain of fire, it seemed so fragile that it seemed like it would break in the next second.

“Boom——!”

A small meteorite hit the energy shield directly, and the entire barrier shook violently, as if a huge hole was torn open.

The fire in the sky instantly penetrated the film, and more meteorites fell at a faster speed.

"The strength of the energy shield has dropped by 20%!" the technician almost shouted, "We can't stop it!"

The earth began to shake, getting stronger and stronger, as if the entire planet was groaning. The cracks in the ground expanded wildly, and some buildings collapsed directly.

People were fleeing in all directions in the chaos, and the sounds of crying, alarms, and explosions were mixed together.

Inside the base, a mother hugged her child, huddled in a corner, and cried.

The child cried loudly and reached out to grab her clothes: "Mom, is the sky going to fall? Are we going to die?"

Her lips turned pale, as if they were frozen, and she was unable to speak for a long time. She just held the child tightly and covered his ears with all her strength to block out the fear outside.

On the other side, a young warrior stood at the edge of the energy shield, holding a rifle.

He looked at the meteorite falling from the sky, his eyes filled with despair. He murmured to himself: "How can we stop it... This is God's will to destroy us..."

Before he finished speaking, a medium-sized meteorite broke through the energy shield and smashed straight into the outer perimeter of the base.

"Boom!"

The meteorite sank into the earth like a giant bomb.

The shock wave instantly destroyed the surrounding buildings, and dozens of civilians who were unable to escape were swallowed up on the spot, turning into ashes without even a scream.

Scalding flames gushed out from the ground, scorching the air, and scorching winds and waves swept deeper into the base.

"A crack has appeared in the center!" A hoarse voice came from the communication channel, "The barrier range of the energy shield has dropped to 65%! Commander, we can't hold on any longer!"

Song Lufeng stood in the control center of the energy shield, his eyes as sharp as blades, staring closely at the data on the screen.

"There is no battle that cannot be fought."

His voice was deep, yet it carried an irresistible majesty.

"Core energy supply, go all out!"

"But this is——"

The technician's words were interrupted by his stern gaze.

"Do as you ask." His voice was cold.

The technician wiped the sweat from his face and typed out a few instructions with gritted teeth.

The blue light of the core reactor surged rapidly, and the entire energy shield became brighter again, but there was a fragility in that light that seemed like it could collapse at any time.

However, the meteorite rain in the sky showed no signs of stopping.

A meteorite with a diameter of nearly 200 meters, dragging rolling flames, crashed into the center of the Xuanwu base like a falling mountain.

"Hold it!" roared across the command channel.

Several mechas took off into the air at the same time, with dense flames gushing out from the missile launchers on their shoulders, and dozens of high-explosive bombs simultaneously hit the huge meteorite.

A series of explosions broke out in mid-air, and flames bloomed in the air like flowers, which abruptly shifted the trajectory of the meteorite.

But there were still broken pieces of flint falling into the base like sharp blades.

"Run!" someone in the crowd shouted in despair. Dozens of hot meteorite fragments with flames plunged into the ground, setting off wave after wave of fire.

A civilian area in the Xuanwu base was completely destroyed, and a huge pit tens of meters deep was blown out on the ground.

"The nodes supporting the barrier have been severely damaged!" The technician's voice was already hoarse, "The energy shield is about to collapse completely!"

Song Lufeng looked up at the sky. The rain of fire seemed to never stop, densely covering the entire earth. He clenched the sword in his hand, his knuckles turned slightly white, and his eyes were as deep as cold stars.

"Direct all remaining energy to the final barrier," he said, his tone chillingly calm.

"But--"

"That's an order."
