”The group of flying ships has slowed down. 59 minutes remaining till entry into the atmosphere…” The voice from the AI rang out loud and clear inside the hall.
The person standing all the way at the front and staring at the armada of flying ships on the monitors, Xi Li, had fear and pain etched into his eyes.
”49 minutes remaining till the flying ships enter the atmosphere…”
The AI’s voice seemed to jolt the stunned Xi Li back to his senses, as he suddenly instructed, ”Everyone pay attention, once the flying ships enter the atmosphere, lock onto them and fire. For those flying ships that manage to avoid all missiles, engage them with the heaviest firepower when they land on Earth…”
Xi Li was aware that there were many humans beings being forced to do things inside the flying ships. Destroying anyone might not kill the beasts inside, but all man inside would definitely die. However, he couldn’t help but give the command to do so. No matter how many people died, they couldn’t allow the flying ships to land in the South Pole.
Moreover, Xi Li also knew that while there were many land-to-air missiles in the South pole, there wasn’t any guarantee about how many flying ships they could take down. Those flying ships that made it to Planet Diyuan represented the forefront of Earth’s technology, so they could predict the trajectory of the missiles or other attacks and avoid them.
”Sudden movement detected in the flying ship armada, they are starting to decelerate abnormally. Flying ships have stopped short of the atmosphere and are circling the Earth…”
This new piece of news brought by the AI cause everyone to become stunned. That’s right, the South Pole had a flying ship space harbour, and who knew how many weapons were pointed at this area. If the flying ships did not land at the South Pole, instead choosing another location, while they could still carry out attacks, they would be far less effective. As for whether the attacks would cause collateral deaths, this was already ignored from the start.
”Instructor Xi Li, what should we do?” Many people, with Ka Sanuo as their representative, turned to look at Xi Li.
Xi Li was the instructor of the Space Navigation Federation and also the leader of the long battle against beasts on Planet Diyuan, and now he was the only one that could give an idea for the way forward.
Taking in a deep breath, Xi Li was about to announce the start of the offensive, but a sudden emergency broadcast came from the command hall, ”Urgent message! Urgent message! I am Space Navigation Federation’s Space Enforcer Yu Yiyu, the beast threat onboard the flying ships has been neutralised. Flying ship armada seeking permission to land at the South Pole harbour, please respond…”
”What?” Regardless whether it was Xi Li, Ka Sanuo, or anyone else, no one could believe the truth that was before them.Si Li had detailed how scary the beasts were, and how they couldn’t deal with the beasts on Planet Diyuan, so how could those beasts have been eliminated before the flying ships even landed?
”Could he be coerced by the beasts?” An officer said cautiously.
Without anyone else’s comments, Xi Li spoke confidently, ”That’s impossible. I’ve known Yu Yiyu for decades and fought side by side with him. I know what kind of man he is better than anyone.”
There was a good reason for Xi Li to believe Yu Yiyu, and he also believed that if they swapped places, Yu Yiyu would trust his words too. To them, when it came to the choice between their lives or the safety of Earth, they would throw their lives away without hesitation.
The AI spoke once again, ”Federation YL021, YL102, Federation MH199, MH311, Federation GKQ015… Requesting to share internal cabin feed…”
”Approved.” Xi Li immediately agreed. Even if the flying ships requesting to land did not offer to share their internal cabin feed, he would have asked for it. There was no chance that he would allow any flying ship to land before seeing the internal cabin condition, not even if Yu Yiyu requested for it.
A spacious cabin appeared on the gigantic display, which shocked all personnel in the control hall upon seeing it..
The Space Navigation Federation’s flying ships were an amalgamation of the latest technology in the world, and almost all famous rocket scientists took part in its design and construction. As a flying ship would be gone on a voyage of up to decades-long, its interior was intentionally designed in a way that was not only spacious but also very intricate.
However, what was the scene before their eyes? A room covered in blood. Those beasts were cut open by who knows what knife. Some died after taking a few slashes, while others were decapitated with one slice.
Inside the big flying ship’s cabin, there were the dead bodies and bloodstains of all sorts of beasts piling up everywhere.
”Grant permission to flying ships whose cabins have been inspected to land. Put the attack on hold, standby for further orders.” Xi Li ordered.
Once the flying ships received permission to land, they rapidly entered the atmosphere and docked at the giant flying ship harbour of the South pole.
At this point, Xi Li had already brought Ka Sanuo and a group of men to wait here. The first to exit the flying ship was a single armed, middle-aged man covered in bloodstains and sweat. Upon spotting him, Xi Li quickly went forward, ”Yiyu, your arm…”
Surprisingly, Yu Yiyu did not care about his arm at all, instead grabbing Xi Li using his remaining arm and with a smile on his face, ”Thank you Xi Li.”
Xi Li quickly replied, ”Yiyu, your arm is gone, why are you still thanking me?”
