On a day during the Lunar New Year, the house was decorated very festively, and it was especially lively and cheerful. Xia Shizhao happily accompanied his family to the moon-viewing platform.
The fireworks launched by the Star Alliance instantly lit up the sky, dazzling and beautiful.
The exploding fireworks spread outwards like ribbons shimmering with starlight.
Yu Shu and her grandfather sat leisurely at the Go table, sipping wine and playing Go with faint smiles on their faces.
Xia Shizhao, holding his grandmother's and mother's hands, looked happily at the sky.
A bright red meteor streaked across the sky, its red color exceptionally dazzling. When it collided with the Starlink Sphere's protective shield, a violent explosion erupted.
Xia Shizhao's eyes narrowed as he stood on the Moon-Viewing Platform.
At the same time, air raid sirens blared in my ears; the Starlink planet's defense system sounded an alarm—the planet was under attack.
"Beep beep beep!!!"
The personal terminal on Xia Shizhao's wrist emitted a beeping alarm.
The military and the notice for emergency assembly were issued.
Seeing the worried looks in his family's eyes, Xia Shizhao smiled, his eyes firm, and waved as he ran, "Don't worry, I'll be back safely."
Because of the emergency call, all city traffic was given priority to them, and the notice said to go as fast as possible without any restrictions on the means of transportation.
Xia Shizhao simply drove his mecha to the army and reported for duty.
She wasn't the only one doing this; when she arrived at her position, many mechs were also landing at the same time.
They happened to see Liu Ruxuan, who looked serious, talking to several other major generals.
She was off work today and happened to be on Starlink Sphere; she was originally lying in bed sleeping.
Suddenly, the personal computer issued an alarm, and upon seeing the message, I immediately rushed to the unit.
The planet she was in charge of was also attacked, and she immediately contacted other officers.
We also learned that many small planets have lost contact, and their situation is unknown.
It's very dangerous.
It resembled a planned invasion.
But can the Zerg be that intelligent?
The leader had not yet appeared, whether due to his advanced age or some other reason. The matter was urgent, and many people were getting anxious.
But due to the rules, they all stood quietly and orderly in place, waiting.
Finally, a floating screen appears.
It was Ye Qiuling's face, which appeared calm, but Xia Shizhao could tell that she was somewhat agitated, and the matter seemed quite complicated.
His brow furrowed slightly. Could it be a swarm of insects...?
With a blank expression on his face but a turbulent inner world, he heard Ye Qiuling issue the task at a very fast pace. The speed was fast, but the pronunciation was clear, and many people could understand the task.
"Since the leader is unwell, I will issue you the mission. This time, the Zerg launched an organized attack, a large-scale swarm. Do your best to save people. Sacrifice planets where possible and transfer the children to safe planets as soon as possible."
The safe planet permissions have now been granted to rescue airships on all planets. Everyone is responsible for transferring personnel to their respective planets as quickly as possible. The Zerg will be eliminated at any cost.
Weaponry access has been delegated.
The losses will be tallied after the incident is over.
Be wary of those around you; there are spies passing messages to the Zerg. This is an organized invasion; the Zerg are gradually taking over normal planets.
The floating screen suddenly went down. Everyone suppressed their surprise and began to carry out their arrangements in an orderly manner.
The army has teleportation arrays for every planet, and many people are heading towards their locations.
Liu Ruxuan saw Xia Shizhao wave his hand, "Shizhao, come with me."
Xia Shizhao nodded and immediately followed behind her.
“We are responsible for ten planets, but two of them have lost contact. The other eight planets are not on the outermost edge, so the situation is fine for now, and our men can handle it. But for the two planets that have lost contact, the two of us will go there.”
Liu Ruxuan's expression was very serious. After speaking, she looked at Xia Shizhao with great apology.
Xia Shizhao playfully bumped her shoulder, then gently patted it, saying, "The capable should do more—our good fortune is yet to come."
Seeing that Liu Ruxuan was still unable to calm down and felt somewhat guilty, Xia Shizhao took a deep breath and said with a firm look in his eyes: "I can't avoid it. If I don't go to support other planets, the Star Alliance will eventually fall."
Then so.
Wish us luck.
