Earth Era

Part 23

Inside the base was also in chaos, with everyone bustling around, unsure of what to do. Seeing the commander hurriedly returning, everyone crowded around, talking all at once, reporting the current situation.

The commander felt a headache coming on as he walked to the holographic projection table and waved his hand, signaling them to speak one by one.

"An alien mothership suddenly appeared in the sky above Saitan Star, but currently, there has been no action," one person reported.

The commander asked, "What does the Cosmic Research Institute say? How come they didn't issue a warning in advance for such a big event?"

The person replied, "They were also taken aback at the time because the mothership appeared suddenly."

"Out of thin air?" the commander asked.

"Um... that's one way to put it."

The next person reported, "The United Coalition demands that we immediately enter a state of readiness."

"Do they even need to say that?! Summon all Marine Corps members, emergency assembly!" the commander ordered.

A person sitting in front of a light brain stood up, saluted, and said, "All Marine Corps members have assembled and are awaiting further instructions!"

The commander turned to look at Qin Feng and the others, then turned to the person again. "Are you sure all Marine Corps members have assembled?"

The person looked at Qin Feng and the others, seeming somewhat embarrassed...

Qin Feng, Zhong Yuanjie, and Ruan Xiaoyu immediately saluted. "Yes!" Then they turned and left.

"Um... Commander Qin, uh, no! Commander, what should I do?" Xiaoya looked like a homeless little girl, and this was probably the most she had asked all day.

The commander frowned. "You belong to the airspace defense area, and I don't have the authority to command you, but if you're willing... go with them." He pointed to Qin Feng and the others.

"Yes!" Xiaoya smiled, saluted, and ran over to them.

"Sister! It's already this late, and you're still laughing?" Qin Feng said.

Xiaoya replied, "If I don't laugh, should I cry instead?"

Ruan Xiaoyu asked, "Miss, are you always like this in the airspace defense area?"

Xiaoya answered, "Yep! What about it?"

Zhong Yuanjie said, "Well, it looks like Lu Yuan spoils you quite a bit."

At the mention of Lu Yuan, Qin Feng's expression soured. He pretended to be displeased. "Hurry up! Stop dawdling!"

Transport planes were neatly lined up on the parade ground, with everyone ready to go.

However, the alien mothership remained motionless, and without its movement, they couldn't take action. The Marine Corps needed to have clear objectives and locations before they could act accordingly.

Unlike the airspace defense area, where drones and fighter jets had long been hovering in the sky.

"I wonder if Lu Yuan will be worried if he can't find you," Qin Feng asked.

Xiaoya shot him a fierce glare.

Zhong Yuanjie added, "He definitely wouldn't have expected you to come to our Marine Corps as a 'sleeper agent.'"

Out of concern for the safety of his teammates, Qin Feng had specifically taught Xiaoya how to use firearms during the waiting period.

Qin Feng explained, "Our guns are quite different from yours. They don't just shoot at the press of a button. You have to first release the safety, and then..."

Xiaoya interrupted, "Oh, I know. We have guns in the airspace defense area too, and I often play with them."

Zhong Yuanjie asked, "You shoot guns while standing on planes?"

Xiaoya explained, "No, it's in case the plane crashes during combat, and then we become Marines!"

Qin Feng continued, "Then you have to make sure you're still alive. If the plane crashes and you're still able to move..."

Xiaoya said, "Fighter jets have ejection systems. As long as they don't jam, it's not that easy to die."

Qin Feng relented, "Alright, alright. But playing and real combat are different. I'll teach you just in case. I won't have time to babysit you if things get real."

Xiaoya huffed, "Hmph! Who needs you to babysit? You just take care of yourself!"

After some time passed, there was a deafening roar from above!

It was ear-splitting!

The sky became colorful, and the Shield Mountain defense layer rippled like waves in water, one layer chasing after another.

The attack of the alien super mothership against Saitan Star had begun!

Countless self-controlled unmanned drones swiftly ascended!

The barrels of 150,000 global particle beam lasers simultaneously emitted blue light, turning the world into a faint purple once again.

Five years ago, Qin Feng didn't get to witness this scene properly.

Today, he stood here, able to see clearly from the ground a white beam continuously assaulting the Shield Mountain defense layer.

The sky seemed like it was going to tear apart, emitting crackling electric sounds.

At this moment, he wasn't just avoiding anymore; he was standing under the beam, waiting for their arrival.

Birthday fireworks were blooming here!

This was a gift from the interstellar plunderers!
