Chapter 853: Deadly Danger (2/2)

If it were only one or two of them, they could still be blown apart by nuclear weapons. But if it were a large group, going nuclear would simply be seeking death.

Sighing, Xi Li spoke, ”We shouldn’t have built the flying ship that can reach that sort of speed. As we ventured out, we also brought the enemy back, so it’s just all for naught.”

”So what should we do?” Tan Zhenman forgot that she was just comforting Xi Li as she didn’t know what they could do at this point in time anymore.

Xi Li’s eyes turned towards the crystal clear skies that no longer had any haze, and said with conviction, ”Even if I die, I’ll die at the frontlines of battle. Zhenman, you have great potential. When those beasts take over the Earth, there’ll be some groups of mankind that survives. I hope that you will continue living and work hard to turn your potential into strength, eventually leading more men to drive those beasts away. If we humans are not meant to go extinct, the day that we chase them away will come.”

After finishing his piece, Xi Li turned around and left. Those beasts were already in space, hence they would reach Earth in a few month’s time. In these few months, he had to make some preparations.

”Senior Xi Li, I will leave with you. If it weren’t for Brother Mo’s instruction, I, Tan Zhenman, would still be an ignorant student. With my power comes responsibility. Even if I can only fight against a single beast, I would gladly do so.” The grand feelings of Xi Li had moved her deep inside.

When Xi Li was the first expert to leave Earth, he led the Earth’s experts to occupy an area on Planet Diyuan. Now that the beasts had come to Earth, he was the first to step forward to risk his life to protect the planet.

Never did Xi Li think about himself, and if Tan Zhenman had this sort of mindset, she would have become Mo Wuji’s disciple by now.

But because she was selfish, wanting to go to Planet Diyuan to live a good life, did she lose something that would have belonged to her.

After staring at Tan Zhenman for a good while, Xi Li nodded his head, ”Sure, you’ll leave with me then.”

Although he asked her to hide herself, in reality, after those beasts came to Earth, where would she be able to hide at?

”Tan Zhenman, Senior Xi Li, let me help as well.” Xian Zhiyang quickly added on.

However, Xi Li just patted his shoulder, ”You’re a good person, but this is not something that you can help with.”

…

The South Pole.

By the time Xi Li and Tan Zhenman arrived here, there were three to four layers of explosive weapons set up. Some of the top grade missiles had been moved over too, all in the hope of eliminating the beasts on Earth in the shortest time possible.

”Instructor Xi Li.” Once Xi Li disembarked from the plane, Ka Sanuo, who had come back earlier, trudged towards him with a serious expression.

Waving it off, Xi Li tried to be as casual as he could, ”When we first arrived on Planet Diyuan, didn’t we face even more beasts? Since we could set up a foundation there, we can also stop the beasts from setting foot in Earth.”

Ka Sanuo didn’t make any comments. He knew that Xi Li’s words weren’t meant for his ears, but for the soldiers. Nearly none of the soldier present had gone to Planet Diyuan before, and most had special forces backgrounds.

”Are you building a laser wall?” Xi Li asked curiously as he observed the construction works going on around him.

Ka Sanuo acknowledged it, ”Yes.”

But Xi Li did not reply, as it was clear to him that the presence of a laser wall didn’t make much of a difference. Planet Diyuan had a similar laser wall which was fortified over many years to the point that no normal laser walls could match up to it. If those beasts could destroy the laser wall on Planet Diyuan and steal flying ships to come over, what use would this last minute laser wall be?

At this moment, Woolf also walked over, asking softly, ”Instructor Xi Li, are we going to prepare to use nuclear weapons?”

”There’s no need for that. Even if we were able to kill all of the beasts with nuclear weapons, the Earth would be on the brink of destruction. Without using them, perhaps many years down the road, we humans can still take back the home that rightfully belongs to us.”

…

As compared to the uptight South Pole which had a continuous stream of soldiers going there, everywhere else on Earth experienced a period of happiness.

What could make one happier than breathing clean air and seeing the clear blue skies after suffering for a few decades? Even the number of disputes and arguments seemed to decrease.

Humans would always be the most adaptable species. Within a short span of months, almost all stock prices rose tremendously. If there were any that saw their stock price drop, it would undoubtedly be those companies that earned the most from purifying air or something similar.

However, the tension in the South Pole was building up. Inside a gigantic command center, large screens displayed the dense pack of flying ships approaching Earth. Based on their trajectory, it would take at most half a month for those flying ships to land on the South Pole.

The most ironic thing was that these flying ships were manufactured on Earth.
