As time passed, beads of sweat appeared on Lin's forehead.
He felt like he was facing a bunch of garbled code and couldn't find any clue at all.
Diplomat Li looked a little embarrassed standing in front of Cross.
He didn't know what to say or what to do.
He could only maintain a polite smile and wait for news from translator Lin.
Just when everyone thought that the communication would reach a deadlock, Kroos suddenly made a move that no one expected.
He raised one hand, extended three fingers, and made an Earthling gesture of friendship.
Although this gesture is a little unstandard, it is enough to show his attitude.
"I... am I seeing things?" Someone rubbed his eyes and said in disbelief, "He... he actually showed his friendliness to us?"
"This...how is this possible?" The Hawks were even more stunned. They had always thought that alien creatures were cold-blooded and ruthless invaders, but they did not expect that they would also express goodwill.
Even Mou Xuan was a little surprised. He originally thought that this contact would be full of hostility and conflict.
But he never expected that Cross would take the initiative to show goodwill, which was completely beyond his expectations.
Translator Lin was also stunned. He stopped recording and looked up at Cross.
"Could it be that... the aliens are really willing to live in peace with us?" The doves said excitedly, "I knew it, as long as we show our sincerity, they will definitely feel our kindness!"
Just as everyone was talking, Cross spoke again.
"I like your planet. It's full of energy..." He paused and smiled strangely, "But this energy will soon belong to us."
However, some of Cross' subsequent actions directly confused the people on Earth.
He waved his hand, and a small spaceship emerged from behind him with a "whoosh" and hovered in the air. Its streamlined metallic texture was far superior to the Earth's technology.
"Wow, this thing is really something!" Some people couldn't help but exclaim, if this thing can be mass-produced, why would we need to buy sports cars in the future!
Cross controlled the spacecraft and performed a cool flying show, sometimes accelerating like lightning, sometimes hovering like a ghost, which was dazzling to watch.
Then, a beam of light shot out from the spacecraft and hit a hill in the distance. The top of the hill instantly melted and turned into a pile of smoking magma.
At this moment, the whole audience fell silent. The hawkish members who had just clamored to "break a few of their teeth" now shut their mouths obediently.
This is not a broken tooth, this is the rhythm of your teeth being broken!
Mou Xuan narrowed his eyes, feeling uneasy.
Show strength?
A show of force?
Or is there another intention?
Chen Yao quietly approached Mou Xuan and asked in a low voice: "Brother Xuan, what are they going to do? It doesn't look good."
Mou Xuan shook his head and stared at Cross, trying to see something from his blue face.
Cross put away the spaceship, raised an unfathomable smile, and said in the awkward Earth language: "Cooperate, or... surrender." After that, he stopped talking and just looked at Mou Xuan quietly, waiting for his answer. The air was filled with tension, like the calm before the storm...
"Lin, translator." Cross suddenly looked at translator Lin and uttered two words.
