Chapter 20: Incident "Your ring is so beautiful"
"The runway is ready and the entire area is accessible."
"Target anchor point confirmed, landing position being calculated."
"Location confirmed."
As the mechanical sound fell, the E3 loader hummed, flames splashed, swarmed down the runway, and jumped off the base.
Several holes were knocked out of the clouds, giving the sunlight a chance to breathe and instantly igniting the earth.
Within seconds, the truck disappeared from sight. The poor area, having been slow to move and unable to secure a job as a porter, sighed and shook their heads, cursing and pushing the people around them as they walked back.
A man was pushed and stumbled, his steps unsteady, but luckily he managed to grab a nearby pillar in time to avoid falling to the ground. He turned around angrily, only to find that the clouds above his head were a little crooked?
"What happened? Why is the base tilting?!"
The high floors seemed to be falling because of the sloping ground, and the crowd on the ground was noisy and running everywhere.
After a few roars, the tilt finally stabilized, the noise slowly died down, and just as the crowd was about to surge forward, the ground suddenly shook, sending bricks and rocks flying from the sky, crashing to the ground with a loud bang. Not far away, the clouds darkened. A closer look revealed a dense mass of unknown objects flying towards them!
A loud alarm sounded in the base.
"Attention everyone, alien species spotted in the air, enter combat mode immediately! Attention, flying alien species spotted in the air!"
"Due to the influence of alien species, the base cannot reach the stratosphere. Heavy rain is coming soon. Activate the protective barrier immediately!"
"Please all ordinary citizens evacuate the edge of the base in an orderly manner. This is the control room. I am Tan Wenshu and I will broadcast the information in real time. Please do not panic!"
A streak of blue light flashed through the air, and the base's protective barrier opened. Almost instantly, the alien's mental wave attack struck, colliding with the barrier with a thunderous thud, exploding into a multicolored pattern resembling water waves.
The poverty-stricken area is located at the very edge of the base. The strange suction cups on the wings of the flying aliens can almost be clearly seen. The crowd screamed and fled to the center. When the man just reacted, he suddenly felt a cold touch on his neck.
The entire poverty-stricken area was suddenly shrouded by something. An invisible wave impacted the nerves, making people dizzy and their legs and feet completely uncontrollable, and they knelt on the ground.
"Don't move."
A clear female voice came over, and this voice seemed to go straight to the nerves like the invisible wave, and almost everyone in the poverty-stricken area could hear it clearly.
Xu An played with the dagger lazily, the white gauze and hair were blown away by the flying mental fluctuations. She curled her lips, her eyes were clearly covered by the gauze, but the dagger accurately lifted the man's jaw.
"I heard that you were present during Ran Yuechu's ground mission 19 years ago." Her voice was soft and her smile was gentle, but it made the man tremble uncontrollably. "What's going on with her special ability? Can you tell me?"
The man knelt on the ground instantly.
"I was just a porter back then. I didn't know anything!"
"Hey, what are you afraid of?" Xu An squatted down with a smile, and the next second, the dagger pierced into the man's palm.
The screams made Xu An's ears hurt, but she continued to smile and asked, "Do you remember now?"
The man trembled even more violently. Seeing that he didn't say anything, Xu An's hand holding the dagger bulged slightly with veins, and he pushed the dagger to spin.
The sound of flesh being ripped apart was drowned out by the screams. From the periphery, the smell of blood wafted forth. The aliens slammed into the barrier with increasing ferocity, swarming densely and overwhelmingly. The base was instantly plunged into darkness. The ticking of chips and the cries of pain continued. Xu An watched it all in silence, turning his head back.
"Do you need me to help you recall? For example, you saw humans on the giant alien."
The bromine mist concentration tester sounded a series of alarms, and the other ground teams in the base quickly got ready. All the machine gun turrets were moved out to face the flying aliens of all sizes that looked like giant mosquitoes and were overwhelming outside the protective barrier.
"Mech ready!"
The gravity body and the falcon flew over in response, and the control room immediately calculated the target anchor point, and instantly opened a wormhole in the barrier with the buzzing sound of a cannonball.
"Everyone, provide covering fire!"
Falcons flew out in an orderly fashion, their guns and cannons slamming down. In the flash of light, the Gravity Body soared into the air, its steel wings spread wide, its jets emitting a blazing flame, accompanied by the strong aroma of supernatural power. The aliens instantly swarmed over, screaming like a swarm of bees.
Hearing the scream, Tan Wenshu suppressed the discomfort and immediately closed the wormhole.
"Any news on A061?"
This time, the alien species' arrival was extremely unusual. To facilitate A061's landing, the base descended into the troposphere. Unexpectedly, as soon as A061 left, a strange suction force appeared, as if trying to suck the base away.
Tan Wenshu immediately ordered the control room to activate the emergency jets, which stabilized the base's tilt angle to prevent further damage. But even during this moment of hesitation, A061 completely lost contact, a situation that had never occurred before in a ground mission!
Without contact with the control room, it was questionable whether A061 could land at the designated location.
"not yet."
The concentration of bromine mist outside had risen from 32 to 180 and was still climbing. Tan Wenshu took a deep breath, feeling a surge of unease. Not far away, thunder rumbled amidst the sound of gunfire.
"Open the lightning rod immediately!"
Amid the noisy cries of the alien species, heavy rain poured down, splashing ripples on the protective barrier.
Before long, the vision was covered with a layer of white mist, the screams of the aliens faded, the concentration of bromine mist stabilized at 130, and the base fell into an eerie silence.
Many people poked their heads out and looked around blankly: "Is it over?"
Tan Wenshu stared nervously at the monitoring rooms in various parts of the base, his fingers pressing tightly on the earphones.
The water vapor was getting thicker and thicker, and the sound of the rain almost drowned out the sound of the machinery. A flash of lightning suddenly appeared, and in the dim clouds, a strange giant sphere covered with tentacles came into view.
Before I could see it clearly, the lightning passed, thunder roared, and the sphere that flashed by disappeared into the clouds like a mirage.
The next second, the entire base began to shake, and several jets broke inexplicably and fell thousands of feet into the sky.
"Alarm! Alarm! The concentration of bromine mist has reached 309! Alarm! The concentration of bromine mist has reached 335! Alarm..."
Alarms wailed continuously. In the dim mist, a massive suction cup clung tightly to the protective barrier. Countless tiny tentacles and hairs clung to the cup. The next moment, a "tongue" covered in countless spikes pierced through it, piercing the barrier with a ding.
The protective barrier instantly broke into a hole as if it had lost air, and the alien species' mental wave attack instantly penetrated through the hole and rushed straight into the nerves.
The dizziness made the surroundings seem unreal and illusory, and the body's reactions quickly slowed down. The falcon and the gravity body quickly returned and guarded the cave entrance.
The leading flying alien slowly retracted its tentacles, and scarlet mist spread from its wings. The other aliens also quickly moved closer. The blood mist became thicker and thicker, and guns and cannons could not penetrate it for a while!
"These aliens are learning from us!"
A strange singing voice reached their ears, and their throats seemed to be strangled in an instant. More and more people lost their will, fell to the ground, and kicked the air in front of them indiscriminately.
"Quick! Use your supernatural powers to stop this damn singing first!"
Countless high-frequency sound waves collided with each other, making a non-stop "ding ding ding" sound. The mental wave attack and bromine mist concentration in the air rose sharply, and the bromine mist concentration tester actually exploded in a buzzing sound!
Tan Wenshu was dizzy from the shock. She covered her bleeding ear with one hand and quickly operated the screen with the other. The backup protective barrier was about to be activated when a pair of hands suddenly appeared from behind her, grabbed her neck fiercely, and dragged her backwards.
The feeling of suffocation and dizziness blurred her vision. She used all her strength to make the person behind her take a few steps back before she quickly stabilized herself.
The ground was stepped on with crisp sounds by the heels, and Tan Wenshu was startled. It was a woman.
Women of this height are rare, there are...
A feeling of suffocation came over him, and the strength on Tan Wenshu's fingertips slowly released, and he fainted.
Behind him, Mu Yan put away the handkerchief, straightened his hair, and smiled slowly, revealing two shallow dimples. "You were so strong that you almost broke my hair."
She slowly walked to the screen and called up the radar map. The base was surrounded by dense red dots. In addition, red dots began to appear at the location where A061 disappeared.
At this moment, a hot current suddenly surged over, and the movements of the alien species outside slowed down, and suddenly they began to rush around like crazy, but because there were too many of them, the ones at the back did not react, and the ones in the front could not escape, and they became a mess for a while.
With screams and pushes, in a moment, the alien species in a circle around the base were instantly blown into pieces.
The smell of blood rushed into their noses, and many people began to vomit. Mu Yan looked at the scene in front of him in a crazy manner, with his facial expression distorted to the extreme.
"Ran Yue, you finally took action!"
She gathered her clothes, threw her high heels into the air, and quickly ran out, pretending to be panicked: "Where are the wounded? Bring the nutrients!"
As the aliens exploded into pieces one after another, the Falcon and the Gravity Body finally flew back covered in blood. The protective barrier was reopened, and the medical and cleaning robots were busy. Many people vomited while receiving treatment from the robots.
"What's the situation now?" Ran Yue was standing on an alien species. The flying alien species was flapping its wings dizzily due to the influence of magnetic waves, and became her natural mount.
"The radar detected alien species all around us. The bromine mist shield in the control room was knocked out. Everyone is trying to save them. Tan Wenshu is in particularly bad condition; one of his hands was broken."
"I understand." Ran Yue released the button, and her eyes were filled with blue light again. She lightly tapped her fingertips, and her supernatural powers gathered in front of her and transformed into a long sword.
The alien was screaming and flying around in the terrifying wave. She jumped up and her sword instantly pierced into the wings of the giant flying alien!
The aliens' screams shook the base. Not far away, Xu An, standing at the edge of the protective barrier, felt his ears hurt from the shock.
She sighed and turned around. Mu Yan slowly walked over and said softly, "Xu An, what a coincidence."
Xu An faced her and smiled, shaking his hand. "Your ring is very beautiful."
After saying that, she fell backwards and fell into the sky.
