The entrance to the Underground Safe House was built on the basement level of a large department store. The Light Shuttle swiftly transported the two girls to the entrance of the Underground Safe House. Heavily armed guards were already stationed there, and as soon as the Light Shuttle landed with the girls, all guns were aimed at them.
"Don't shoot! We're on the same side!" the Light Shuttle quickly shielded the frightened girls behind him and shouted at the soldiers behind the barbed wire.
"Do you have identification information?" one of the soldiers asked.
"Ming Juan and Ma Yihan!" Ma Yihan shouted.
After confirming that their information was in the system, the soldier opened the gate. As they were about to enter the safe house and bid farewell to the Light Shuttle, Ma Yihan turned back and emphasized, "Remember to tell them that some of the opponents are Silicon-Based Lifeforms. I'm sure Liu Xuan and the others will come up with a solution."
The Light Shuttle nodded in acknowledgment. After watching the two girls enter the Underground Safe House, he turned into a four-dimensional phantom and broke through the sound barrier, soaring into the sky while also contacting Zombie King.
"Miao Chengmin, is it a good time to talk?" the Light Shuttle asked as he navigated through the air.
At that moment, Zombie King had reached outer space. The Judgment Day battleship loomed before him, its endless hull stretching out of sight, while countless Flying Army units poured out from beneath the mothership like raindrops.
"Very..." Zombie King punched a Flying Army unit out of existence in the black void. "Very inconvenient... Haven't you received any communications from The Celestial Warriors Alliance?"
"Tell The Celestial Warriors that these Mercenaries from Longxing are Silicon-Based Lifeforms. The best weapon to deal with them is water."
"Water?" To their surprise, Fierce Eagle's voice came through their team channel. "Are we supposed to go at them one by one with water guns?"
"Aren't you in the team channel?" Zombie King said discontentedly to Light Shuttle, as he was very busy trying to fend off Flying Army units in outer space while maintaining communication.
"I didn't even know when I joined this communication channel," Light Shuttle replied helplessly.
"Alright, team, let's get back on track," Blue Face Hero spoke up. He and Fierce Eagle were on their way back to the central battlefield. "Since they fear water, let's give them a bath."
"What do you mean?" everyone asked.
"Let's use weather weapons to make it rain heavily over the central battlefield. How about that?"
At that same time aboard Judgment Day battleship...
"Still can't break through?"
The holographic screen at the bow displayed a real-time overhead view of the battlefield on Earth, illuminated by bright lights that made Emperor's armor gleam brilliantly.
Ban Sa had lost contact with Gad and Stalker; he had already guessed their fate. The life forms nurtured by this planet, which had accompanied the moon for millions of years, were surprisingly extraordinary, further fueling Ban Sa's ambition to conquer this world.
The Tear Star battle axe quietly approached its master, its blade facing the screen as they silently observed the global situation on Earth together.
Aside from smooth offensives in other areas, as long as they couldn't break through in the central battlefield, it would be no different from failure.
"We must accelerate our progress against the central battlefield," Ban Sa said while stroking Tear Star. "Azores."
"Here I am."
Azores was rescued and felt fortunate; aside from some minor abrasions, he was otherwise unharmed.
"Send the order down to release the targeted gas bombs."
"Understood."
The targeted gas bombs were the result of years of research by familiar entities hidden on Earth, collecting human life data. The internal Humans had compared and analyzed the bodies of both Earthlings and themselves, mastering the differences between the two races. The targeted gas bombs were designed to perfectly avoid areas that would cause discomfort to internal Humans while being lethally corrosive to Earthlings. It was an extremely terrifying biochemical weapon.
"It’s time for our achievements to be showcased," Ban Sa said softly, stroking the grip of the Tear Star battle axe, enunciating each word carefully.
Earth.
The Southern Gate plan was initiated!
The Luan Bird space carrier had already taken off from the 749 International Reaction Center, releasing the Xuan Nu and White Emperor space fighters, which headed to their respective combat zones. In the air, they engaged in fierce firefights with the internal Human Flying Army, vying for air supremacy.
Meanwhile, Fierce Eagle and Blue Face Hero arrived above the central battlefield, joining forces with the Xuan Nu unmanned fighters to battle against the internal Human Flying Army. The Zombie King soared into outer space alongside the White Emperor space fighter, targeting the Judgment Day mothership directly.
The sky was filled with explosions and sudden bursts of light—those were the detonations of Flying Army units destroyed by Xuan Nu fighters. From the ground, one could clearly see the trajectory of Fierce Eagle's Electromagnetic Railgun fire and the Cosmic Energy waves released by Blue Face Hero's Tianchuang Gloves, drawing blue arcs across the sky.
General Jiang at the Military Base received a joint proposal from Fierce Eagle and Blue Face Hero to activate weather weapons and submitted it to superiors who were monitoring the situation in real-time.
"National secrets should be utilized in critical situations like this," said Commander in the Underground Safe House of M City Military Base to his subordinates. "Let’s proceed as suggested by The Celestial Warriors; activate weather weapons to bring rain over the central battlefield!"
Half an hour later, upon receiving orders, City S Air Force Base sprang into action. They had been on standby and were eager to engage after watching the Luan Bird space carrier take off and attack while they had been waiting for their turn. Now they finally awaited their signal to attack!
"Sky Leopard Squadron, maintain formation after takeoff. I assure you, this will be our most glorious battle."
"Zero Zero One received!"
"Zero Zero Seven received!"
Multiple aircraft equipped with temperature stabilizers and dry ice bombs simultaneously taxied down the runway under tower command towards the central battlefield.
The only AC919 aerial gunship in the nation that had been modified alongside the Luan Bird space carrier also took off from City S Air Force Base, providing cover for aircraft carrying weather weapons heading to the front lines.
The aerial gunship flew at the forefront, leading the charge as all aircraft followed in a V formation, racing towards the central battlefield.
At that same time in the central battlefield, Jiao An watched as human space fighters clashed with internal Human Flying Army units in the sky, a sense of tension rising within her.
Any small deviation could lead a laser bullet to land nearby—or even on her.
Yet despite this, Jiao An tightened her bandage over her wound and switched out her Matthias sniper cannon from behind her, setting it up on the rooftop. The mechanical behemoth was too conspicuous; wherever it went, it flattened everything in its path.
Human light weapons were utterly ineffective against it, and guerrilla tactics offered little advantage in the face of such a super-advanced monster.
On the ground battlefield, Madwoman, Lu Sha, Titan Aibo, along with the Divine Domain Vanguard and Support Team, could only fight while retreating. However, this strategy successfully drew the enemy into Jiao An's line of sight.
Jiao An pressed her eyes close to the scope; magnified, she could clearly see Lu Sha and Titan Aibo leading the Divine Realm team as they fell back in a nearby block hundreds of meters away.
Around the corner ahead, mechanical giraffes were closing in with numerous Mechanical Beasts in tow. Some agile Mechanical Beasts lunged forward but were restrained by Madwoman's Chain Spear. Aibo stepped in to pin one down by its neck, while warriors from the Divine Realm team surged forward to easily snap its head off before continuing their retreat—they were truly executing their original plan of "rabbits nibbling on carrots."
"Lu Sha, move towards the road to your southwest," Nightmare said, pulling back the gun's bolt and focusing intently on the entire battlefield below. "We can now tighten the trap and cut off their reinforcements."
"Sister Jiao An, where are you?" Madwoman asked while running.
"To your northeast, two o'clock; look up."
Madwoman glanced toward the building at two o'clock, marked with "Reina Pharmaceuticals" on its top floor. Upon closer inspection, she spotted a tiny reflection—that was the glint from Nightmare's sniper rifle scope.
"Here they come!" Madwoman called out to everyone behind her. "Follow me!"
Having just dealt with one Mechanical Beast, Time felt the pursuing enemies closing in rapidly. As another Mechanical Beast was about to pounce, members of the Divine Domain Support Team extended their hands to manipulate gravity, tearing apart nearby trees and small shops to create an obstacle.
Then, members of the Vanguard's Spirit Corps spread their arms wide and let out a sharp whistle as an eight-meter-high wall of flames erupted behind them, charging toward the pursuing Mechanical Beasts.
Indeed, all beasts retained a fear of fire. The leading Mechanical Beasts recoiled as flames reflected off their silver armor.
But it was merely a temporary reprieve; when the massive mechanical giraffe arrived, it extinguished the flames with a single stomp, and other Mechanical Beasts followed closely behind, continuing their pursuit of the retreating humans and Spirit Corps.
"Sister Jiao An, we're right below your building!" Madwoman shouted while looking up.
"Got it," Nightmare replied as she shifted her scope's view from her allies to the Mechanical Beasts behind them. Several green boxes appeared in her crosshairs as she locked onto her targets. "Find a way to trap them; leave the rest to me."
The charging indicator on Matthias' sniper rifle gradually rose to red!
A powerful beam shot forth from Matthias' barrel—just one shot was enough to sever the leg joint of a mechanical giraffe that even tanks couldn't handle!
The mechanical giraffe let out a horrific scream as it toppled over onto the street, effectively blocking the advance of the following Mechanical Beasts.
Nightmare fired again with Matthias; a strong laser beam instantly turned another Mechanical Beast's head into ash, green blood and oil spraying out as it too fell alongside its fallen companion.
The power displayed by Matthias left both Spirit Corps members and humans on the street dumbfounded. These heavily armored beasts had been impervious to all their efforts until now—yet one shot from a sniper rifle had taken them down!
The approaching Mechanical Beasts seemed to have spotted Nightmare's position; they rushed toward her building after bypassing the massive body of the fallen giraffe.
"Lu Sha, find a way to trap them!" Nightmare fired once more, destroying another charging Mechanical Beast. "I have an idea that can ensnare them all; whether we can execute it depends on you!"
