“Deng deng qia… deng deng qia… deng dengyi deng yi deng qia..
In District 404, the sound of gongs and drums filled the air, creating a lively atmosphere.
Colonel Chu and the others were dressed in formal attire, standing in neat rows, gazing at the sky, awaiting the arrival of the aliens.
“Old Chu, is it true that Zhao Yu was taken from Earth?” Engineer Yang asked quietly, standing beside Colonel Chu.
Colonel Chu tilted his head slightly and replied, “I had someone investigate people who had been missing for nearly a decade, and we did find someone named Zhao Yu…”
“He went missing five years and ten months ago, and his appearance matches the projection…”
…..
“What about Zhang Yuxia and her supervisor?”
“No trace of them. Perhaps no one reported them when they went missing..”
Colonel Chu shook his head and said, “Zhao Yu is an orphan, and his disappearance was reported by his colleagues, not his family. It’s likely that the others who were taken were also orphans…”
Privately, they had carefully studied the matter and concluded that the real aliens probably looked different from the people on Earth.
And individuals like Zhao Yu, who had revealed themselves, were most likely taken by the aliens from Earth several years ago.
“However, there’s something suspicious. Zhang Yuxia seems to have never been to Earth, yet she’s not young…”
The experts in the group came up with two conclusions: First, the aliens had been on the Moon for several decades, and Zhang Yuxia was abducted when she was young. Second, the aliens had been on Earth for over five years, and Zhang Yuxia’s memories had been wiped out.
“Shh, they’re here!”
At that moment, someone beside them whispered as a reminder.
Both of them quickly looked up.
In the sky, a group of small black dots appeared.
As those dots grew larger and larger, the sound of gongs gradually stopped.
Everyone stared wide-eyed, their breathing becoming rapid.
Colonel Chu’s eyes filled with astonishment, but he quickly regained his composure and said, “Don’t stop, keep playing the music…”
The atmosphere team woke up and continued to play the gongs and drums, but their trembling legs revealed their fear.
120 s.p.a.ceships filled the entire sky, obscuring the sunlight on the ground even in broad daylight.
The smallest of these ships measured over a hundred meters, and the largest reached tens of thousands of meters, resembling small mountains.
And about 60 of these enormous ships hovered in mid-air, presenting a shocking sight.
“So these are the alien s.p.a.ceships?”
“They’re so magnificent…”
Some people were deeply moved, unable to contain their emotions.
Colonel Chu also had some doubts. Weren’t the alien ships damaged?
Could it be that the damaged ones were the interstellar ships capable of crossing star systems?!
On the ground, there was an airport that could accommodate ten planes, and the ten dispatchers looked bewildered.
“With so many ships, which one should we let land?”
Even such a large airport could only accommodate the smallest type of flying s.p.a.ceship.
Fortunately, the aliens did not make things difficult for them. Sixty gigantic warships stopped at a height of a kilometer from the ground, while the remaining ships stopped a hundred meters above the ground.
“The smaller ships have no exhaust ports at the bottom. They probably use magnetic levitation instead of engine to work…”
“The larger ones have exhaust ports, so they might be nuclear-powered ships…”
“Do you see that medium-sized ship? The cannons that it carries are hundreds of meters long…”
Ads by PubFuture “Look at that one, the entire hull is covered with cannons. It’s terrifying…”
The members of the expert team couldn’t care less and focused their attention on studying the alien ships, occasionally expressing their amazement.
Just as the dispatchers were anxious about how to communicate and land with the aliens, a faint halo emanated from the bottom of a hundred-meter-long disc-shaped s.p.a.cecraft, reaching down to the ground.
“What is that?!”
Colonel Chu was puzzled, not understanding the purpose of the halo.
In the next second, his eyes widened.
Within the halo, a figure descended from the sky, like a celestial being, radiating a hazy light and slowly landing.
“What?!”
Colonel Chu and Engineer Yang exchanged a glance, both seeing the shock in each other s eyes.
This kind of technology was beyond anything they had ever heard of.
Before everyone could fully process their astonishment, one of the sixty warships, measuring tens of thousands of meters in length, opened its bottom hatch.
“Swish, swish, swish~l*
One after another, three-meter-tall steel robots descended from the sky.
“Robots!”
“And they can fly!”
“And they’re armed…”
Someone with keen eyes exclaimed.
The scene descended into chaos, and the originally orderly formation of thousands of people became disheveled.
Colonel Chu and the others no longer cared about maintaining the formation. Their gaze was fixated on the heavily armed robots.
“Thud!” “Thud!” “Thud!”
Thousands of s.p.a.ce combat mechs landed beneath the disc-shaped ship, standing in formation, welcoming Zhao Yu.
Only then did people realize that these robots were merely bodyguards, while the leading figure was the figure beneath the disc-shaped s.p.a.ceship.
Under the gaze of the thousands of people present, Zhao Yu descended to the ground from the center of the halo.
“So powerful…”
“This alien technology is much more advanced than what we imagined…”
People murmured in private, completely losing the confidence and pride they had gained from witnessing the high-techs that were in District 404.
As it turned out, there was absolutely no need to compare the differences between technology on Earth and technology of the aliens.
Colonel Chu and the others exchanged glances, suppressing their unease and anxiety, taking the lead in walking towards Zhao Yu.
As they moved, the attention of the entire crowd shifted instantly, increasing the pressure on them.
Engineer Yang felt very stressed, but, while keeping his composure, he made a signal to the team team responsible for creating atmosphere..
