#904 - Chapter 904: Unsolvable Conspiracy! Defection? Either serve me or die!
The technological development of this alien civilization is quite strange.
They can detonate volcanoes.
They can trigger tsunamis.
These are considered rudimentary geological weapons, a hallmark of a civilization nearing level 1.
Yet, their abilities are limited to just these.
Judging by some of their technology, they are nearly a level 1 civilization, far superior to the surface civilization.
However, their technological development is incomplete, with many areas entirely blank, as if their level 1 civilization has been neutered.
They even lack long-range detection equipment, like large-scale radar.
At this moment.
Having received the highest directive from the central city, all cities of the alien civilization are evacuating.
Can the central city accommodate all the people?
Impossible!
A small number of people are hiding in the cities, while the majority are evacuating to the wilderness.
The enemy's target is military strongholds.
The wilderness is actually safer.
At the same time, a small number of mechs are left behind to evacuate the people, while the main force of the military heads straight for the central city.
There's no other way!
The difference in combat power is too great; continuing to engage would be tantamount to suicide. Only by collectively retreating to the central city can we ensure the survival of our combat power.
But they never imagined that the enemy would arrive even earlier.
The loophole in their technology had already been discovered and exploited.
As the capital of the alien civilization, the central city is vast.
Over three thousand square kilometers!
With a permanent population of over twenty million!
In wartime, it can easily accommodate more than double that population.
Suddenly!
A team of mechs comes rushing in.
They are only a few kilometers away from the central city and can clearly see the entire city's outline.
"We're almost there!"
The leading officer shouts: "Hurry! Once we enter the central city, there will be no danger!"
Along with the blur comes a stream of light.
Like a sword aura.
Two giant mechs, along with several surrounding single-soldier mechs, are directly torn apart by the light before they can even react.
That's right!
Using the stolen memories, Chen Hao had long discovered the numerous loopholes in the alien civilization's technology.
The Divine Weapon mechs and Black Tortoise mechs can fly.
Even if the enemy retreats first, he can arrive at the central city first.
And so…
All the mechs flew to the top of the 'sky'.
The very top is the rock layer.
And the 'little sun' that simulates the surface.
When the little sun shines down, there is a large dark area near the top of the little sun.
Using the dark area to avoid visual detection, and since the enemy has no radar-like equipment, it is impossible for them to discover them at all.
Conversely.
The mechs hiding in the dark area can clearly see everything below.
Once they discover the mechs retreating to the central city…
They immediately attack!
Of course, different cities are at different distances, and the mechs need different amounts of time to retreat. What Chen Hao has to do is wait—eliminate them one by one!
What if the other teams, knowing this, give up on retreating to the central city?
It doesn't matter!
The surface army is divided into two groups, one following Chen Hao to wait for the rabbits, and the other continuing to hunt them down all over the world.
In short, whether they retreat or not, they are doomed!
Swish, swish, swish…
The 'sword aura' of the Divine Weapon mechs and the particle cannons of the Black Tortoise mechs complement each other.
This alien civilization mech team has a total of several hundred mechs.
In just over ten seconds.
The entire army is annihilated!
Did the central city see the slaughter?
It's useless!
Whether they retreat or not, they will die: those who retreat will be intercepted and killed by Chen Hao, and the other team will hunt them down all over the world—finally, besieging the central city.
This is a conspiracy.
Insoluble!
The hunt is over in just over ten seconds.
Chen Hao is about to lead the team to ascend back to the dark area and continue waiting.
Suddenly, a giant holographic projection appears in the void between his team and the central city.
"Can we talk?"
An old man appears on the projection screen.
The projection is three to four hundred meters high and over seven to eight meters wide, clearly visible even from several kilometers away.
Amplified by special equipment, the sound is equally clear and audible.
Inside the Divine Weapon mech cockpit.
Chen Hao is slightly stunned.
He has Ling Duo turn on the mech's amplification equipment and sneers: "Negotiate? Don't you already know the answer?"
The alien civilization once sent an envoy to negotiate.
Chen Hao's attitude was clear: capture them and execute them directly!
Don't kill the messenger in war?
That doesn't exist!
He will not abide by any rules for enemies who wage war without declaring it, use viruses and geological weapons, and slaughter hundreds of millions of people on the surface—in order to destroy the other side, he will use any means without any psychological pressure.
"I know you want to destroy us, but you can't," the old man shakes his head.
"Let's try and see," Chen Hao sneers.
Too lazy to talk nonsense!
He immediately prepares to ascend.
At this time, a group of men, women, and children appear on the holographic projection screen.
"You have committed a great crime by betraying your race!" the old man shouts coldly.
He's not talking to Chen Hao.
Suddenly!
Except for Ling Duo next to Chen Hao, the other Divine Weapon pilots are shocked.
Those men, women, and children…
Are their closest family members and best friends!
"I know."
The old man says loudly: "You must have suffered a lot after being captured, and your betrayal is certainly not out of fear of death, but I can guarantee—your family members, now that they have come to the central city, will definitely be safe and sound!"
"Kill!"
As soon as the old man finishes speaking, a Divine Weapon pilot roars without warning.
Afraid of death?
Yes!
No one wants to die if they can live.
But as the strongest elite, even in the face of death, they cannot betray their race!
The betrayal is because…
Chen Hao said that he would spare their families when he counterattacked the alien civilization in the future.
But their families are now in the central city!
"Is that it?"
Chen Hao sneers.
At the critical moment, he takes out a remote control and quickly presses a button.
With this press.
The pilot who was about to defect, before he could even operate the Divine Weapon mech to attack the Black Tortoise mech next to him…
Instantly, the nanobots are activated.
Activated!
A heart-wrenching scream can be clearly heard.
With no chance to retaliate, the pilot's heart is instantly torn apart, and he dies miserably in the cockpit.
"It's useless."
Chen Hao's voice, amplified by the amplification equipment, is loud enough for the old man to hear: "I've been prepared for this. They will either be used by me, or they will die—do you think you can turn them against me? Impossible!"
And then?
Even without the Divine Weapon mechs, the Black Tortoise mechs can still win with their superior performance.
It will just take a little longer, and there may be some casualties.
But the outcome is already determined!
"You…"
The old man is shocked.
Clearly, a pilot defected, but after the heart-wrenching scream, that Divine Weapon mech doesn't move.
Obviously, the pilot is dead!
If they could get the Divine Weapon mechs to defect, the battle might be turned around.
But if it's just that the Divine Weapon pilots all die suddenly and are no longer used by Chen Hao…
There is still not a single chance of winning if the alien civilization's mechs fight against the Black Tortoise mechs!
However…
"Yes."
The old man takes a deep breath: "You can control their lives and deaths through technology, and it's impossible for the Divine Weapon mechs to be used by me, but it's still impossible to completely destroy us—activate the central city shield!"
What shield?
Chen Hao doesn't react.
In the memories he stole, he didn't hear anything about a shield!
