612: Conversation over the air, fish and bear's paws
At the same time, the earth is in a state of joy.
Because according to the image feedback, the small world floating around the source world has been successfully destroyed.
This undoubtedly means that the greatest threat to the earth has been eliminated, and the Federation only needs to annihilate the enemies in space, and everything will be fine.
As for the source world itself, it is not taken seriously by the earth.
Because Heaven has been destroyed, the resistance of the Source Realm is completely of no concern to the Earth.
What's more, there are still some of our own people hidden in the source world, and with the expeditionary army secretly helping them, the source world is simply a piece of cake.
"Report, information from the expeditionary force."
The correspondent suddenly rushed in in a hurry, looking at the elders in the conference room with sweat on his face, his lips trembling.
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but cheer.
There were many people who noticed the correspondent's expression, but they just thought it was because he was excited and didn't take it to heart.
After all, the human civilization on earth has just passed through a catastrophe of life and death, and even they can't help but breathe a sigh of relief, let alone these soldiers.
Ahem~!
The dignified middle-aged man coughed lightly, adjusted his collar subconsciously, sat down and knocked on the table: "Pass it over."
"yes."
The correspondent swallowed hard and quickly transmitted the information to the big screen.
Different from the previous text, this time it is actually an audio.
And the content of the audio….
"Zizzi, zizi..."
"Hello everyone, long time no see."
"You may be unfamiliar with me now, but if I tell you a name, I believe you will remember it."
"Yan Yu, do you still remember this person?"
"Of course, this was my name in my previous life. My current name is Zuo Chongming."
"First of all, thank you for helping me get rid of the Jade Emperor."
"In return, I would like to inform you of the news that in forty-eight hours, human civilization on Earth will come to an end."
"If you have any other tricks or trump cards, you'd better use them as soon as possible."
"Otherwise, it will be too late."
"……See you."
As Zuo Chongming smiled and waved his hands, the screen slowly fell into darkness.
The conference room, which was originally filled with enthusiasm, fell into an unspeakable silence.
The brains of everyone present went blank, and they did not recover from the information revealed in the audio for a long time.
"Yan Yu? He is still alive?"
"Previous life? What happened?"
"The Jade Emperor...he designed us to help him kill the Jade Emperor?"
"Forty-eight hours...how could he destroy us within forty-eight hours?"
"Can he break through the Apocalypse Light Barrier? Kunlun..."
All kinds of doubts were swirling in everyone's heads. They couldn't figure out how Zuo Chongming could break through the sky screen and wipe out human civilization within forty-eight hours.
"enough!"
An old man stood up and slapped his gum, gritting his teeth and growling: "Whether he is really Yan Yu or is just being mysterious, we humans will never compromise."
The person next to him hesitated and said, "But he said, forty-eight hours..."
The old man sneered: "Everyone can tell lies. Even Heaven cannot break through our Apocalypse Light Curtain. He needs our help to deal with Heaven. How can he break through..."
"Report."
"What's up?"
"A total of twenty-seven planetary engines in Hangzhou, Shanghai, etc. were attacked by unknown entities."
"Huh? Unknown attack?"
"That's right."
The soldier, sweating profusely, retrieved the image and transmitted it to the huge light screen in the middle of the conference room.
The screen flashed, and what came into everyone's sight was a towering and majestic planetary engine that exuded a cold metallic atmosphere.
It is not difficult to see from the data on the side that the planetary engine is operating as usual without any problems.
But at this moment, for some unknown reason, the planetary engine suddenly deformed, and then a mushroom cloud rose straight into the sky.
The violent aftermath spread wildly, instantly destroying the engine, submerging all surrounding facilities, and turning the screen into darkness.
The entire video gave everyone the impression that a planetary engine malfunctioned, causing a self-destruction...
But, how is this possible?
Even if the planetary engine does fail, there will only be one or two at most. How come there are twenty-seven engines at the same time...
"Yan Yu, it must be him, it must be him."
"How is it possible? The Apocalypse Light Curtain is still fine, and there is no abnormal feedback. Even if he is a ghost, it is impossible..."
"etc!
"
The old man shouted loudly, interrupting the chaotic scene.
He looked around and said coldly: "If I remember correctly, during the previous war, some debris passed through the atmosphere and fell into the earth?"
The person next to him frowned and asked, "You mean, Yan Yu is hiding in these wreckage?"
The old man muttered: "No, Yan Yu is not on Earth, he just sent some death squads, and there are them in all the wreckage..."
"That doesn't make sense either."
A woman said solemnly: "I just checked and found that the amount of debris that fell into the atmosphere is not very large. We have cleared some more."
"In the end, only single digits of debris fell into the earth, and they were no bigger than an adult. How could such a terrifying bomb be packed into such a small amount of space?"
"The source world is an individual extraordinary civilization."
The old man gritted his teeth and said: "I once looked through the battle reports of the expeditionary force and found that they had sent a batch of trophies for us to study."
"Among those trophies are so-called magic weapons and artifacts, as well as some exercises and spells, as well as teleportation arrays and... space rings."
The woman nodded: "I have also read these battle reports, but according to the research results, these things require some kind of energy to use."
"Our earth does not have this kind of energy, so after the research failed to produce results, it was sealed in a warehouse."
The old man glanced at her and suddenly asked: "Do you still remember what vehicle the enemy was riding in when the Source Realm counterattacked?"
The people around me are not fools. How could they not notice such an obvious reminder?
The woman subconsciously stood up and spoke quickly: "Battleship... you mean..."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "I'm afraid that's it."
The old man narrowed his eyes: "Because of the expeditionary force, the natives of the Origin World have gone from a simple individual extraordinary civilization to the path of individual extraordinary industrial technology."
"They must have developed some kind of device to collect energy and store energy."
"In this way, they can still use magic weapons, artifacts and the like in an environment without energy."
"They then use equipment such as space rings to store bombs and other things in them, and then hide them in the wreckage... waiting for an opportunity to sneak into the earth."
"Report."
Just then, a soldier broke in.
"speak."
When the old man touched his expression, his heart couldn't help but feel a strong sense of foreboding.
Sure enough, the soldier said in a trembling voice: "Sir, another seventy-seven planetary engines have suffered a devastating blow."
"The underground city under the planetary engine has been completely destroyed. Everyone living in the underground city has..."
"Damn."
The old man suddenly raised his head and stared at the soldier: "... Are there any emergency plans?"
"No, no."
The soldier opened his mouth and lowered his head in pain.
All this time, the Earth has never taken Source World seriously due to the victory achieved by the expeditionary force.
In their view, the Source World is an ownerless golden mountain, waiting for the people on earth to occupy and pick it at any time...
They never imagined that one day the Source World would be able to counterattack the Earth, and even counterattack the home base of mankind...
Suddenly, someone hesitated and said: "If we just want to prevent the planetary engine from being destroyed, there is still a way."
"Oh yes."
One person suddenly said: "I remembered that when the planetary engine was built, defense devices were installed, mainly to resist natural disasters and other accidents, but..."
Everyone was annoyed that he was stuck at this moment, and quickly asked: "But what?"
The person hesitated and said: "But it is a subroutine based on the Apocalypse Light Curtain and cannot be started at the same time as the Apocalypse Light Curtain."
"That is to say, once we start the defense of the planetary engine now, the Apocalypse Light Curtain must be closed, and we will be unable to defend against the attack of the Source Realm."
"..."
Everyone took a deep breath and their expressions kept changing.
"You can not have it both ways."
The woman opened her mouth and said harshly: "Should we protect the earth, or the planetary engine, and the human dungeon underneath the engine?"
Faced with this dilemma, everyone couldn't help but fall into silence.
Choose one of the two, but no matter which one they choose, they will suffer irreversible consequences. But if they don't choose, the result will only be worse...
"Guarantee both!"
The old man suddenly slapped his gum, supported the table with both hands, and said in a deep voice: "The only way we can do now is to beat the time difference with Yan Yu."
"We still have Kunlun to deter the Source Realm's offensive, so we can temporarily close the Apocalypse Light Curtain to protect the planetary engine."
"We must find the death squads he sent within forty-eight hours... no, thirty-six hours at most, and annihilate them all."
"After the internal troubles are cleared, the Apocalypse Light Curtain will be activated. By then, we will be able to compete with the killer move that Yan Yu said can destroy human civilization!"
Everyone thought carefully for a moment, and couldn't help showing expressions of excitement and relief. This was indeed the best of both worlds.
At this moment, someone said with a troubled expression: "Within thirty-six hours..."
The old man stared at him with sharp eagle eyes and said word by word: "We have no choice."
"this……"
Someone stood up and said with a worried look on his face: "The probability of success of this plan is based on Yan Yu...Zuo Chongming's promise to start again after forty-eight hours."
"What if he takes action in advance, or this is his trick, and forces us to remove the Apocalypse Light Curtain, wouldn't we be fooled?"
The woman asked, "Do you have any other ideas?"
"I……"
The man's mouth twitched and he lowered his head.
Everyone knows this, but again, do they have any other options?
