"What do you think is in that thing?"
"I don't know, maybe there are still some unfinished materials."
"That's it..."
Jiang Chen nodded thoughtfully, stretched out his hand and stamped it on the metal sphere.
The thick metallic touch passed through the carbon nano-gauntlet of the power armor and reached his palm.
Focusing his consciousness on his palms, Jiang Chen took a deep breath.
In the next moment, the entire furnace disappeared in front of the three people like a cut-off shadow.
"Then, as agreed—"
"very good."
Without any warning, Golovin I suddenly took out his pistol and pointed it at Jiang Chen's back.
"Ping!"
Almost at the moment the gun was fired, a silver white blade flashed, shooting blue sparks in the air.
The metal slug was cut into two pieces at the waist. Lilith, who had no expression on her face, was now blocking Jiang Chen's back.
Countless silver needles fell from the sky, and with the sound of explosions piercing the air, they were nailed in the direction of Golovin I. However, the silver needles failed to hurt Golovin, but hit an invisible shield, only creating circles of transparent ripples.
"It's really troublesome."
Gorovin I sighed softly, looked at Lilith who was staring at him expressionlessly, and lowered the muzzle of the gun in her hand.
Standing there with his back to Golovin I, Jiang Chen did not turn around and just said softly.
"Can you give me a reason?"
"This is the best result. You have already lost." Golovin said calmly, "From the moment the Earth Fleet was defeated... No, I reminded you a long time ago that you have no chance of winning."
"Is this the reason for shooting me?"
"It's just a tranquilizer bomb." Although he had stabbed his ally in the back just now, Golovin I had a calm face at this moment, as if he was stating some normal truth, and said calmly, "When you wake up , you will find yourself on board the Sventovet.”
Then become a guinea pig on the experimental bench
"I didn't ask you to let me get on the ship." Jiang Chen sneered, "Let's be honest, what is your purpose? Planetary furnace? Make one last profit before leaving?"
"I don't deny, or rather, that was our purpose from the beginning," Golovin I said calmly, "We can make a deal."
"Do you think it's possible?" Jiang Chen looked at him with cold eyes.
"Do you still have a choice?"
Silence lasted between the two for a while.
Jiang Chen suddenly laughed.
Smiling brightly...
No.
To be precise, free and easy.
After all, after making such a choice, my mood could not be called cheerful.
Golovin I looked at him quietly, with a trace of confusion that had never appeared in his eyes.
As if he had laughed enough, Jiang Chen stopped and lowered his gaze slightly so that Golovin I could not see his eyes.
"If it was just now, I really had no choice, but now..."
After a moment of pause, he squeezed out the words from his throat in an almost hoarse voice.
"... Just now, I suddenly understood the meaning behind that gift."
Golovin I was stunned at first.
In an instant, the originally calm expression suddenly darkened.
Almost at the same time, Jiang Chen shouted loudly.
"Lilith!"
"As commanded."
The silver short blade popped out from her sleeves, her petite figure was like a cannonball, and the expressionless Lilith rushed towards Gorovin I.
…
"This is Guard-1, I'm under attack from the Gorovans! I repeat, we're under attack from the Gorovans!"
Inside the ruins, the small space was filled with a barrage of bullets and bullets.
The Halo Marines stationed at the entrance to the portal were caught off guard by their allies' sudden counterattack. Fortunately, these soldiers were elites in the Star Ring trade and responded immediately.
The originally friendly atmosphere was replaced by surprise and anger. Leaning behind the unfolded mobile bunker, the Halo Marines wearing power armor picked up the electromagnetic rifles in their hands and fired back at the Golovin soldiers holding laser guns.
Bodies were lying on the ground, including those from Golovin and those from Starlink Trading...
"What happened!?"
His eyes were filled with disbelief. After hearing the report from the front line, Hong Zewei slammed his fist on the table.
He didn't understand why the Golovites would stab them in the back at this time.
Will this do them any good at all
He knew nothing about the transaction between Jiang Chen and Ge Luwen I, and could not understand the significance of Ge Luwen's move.
However, there was no time left for Hong Zewei to hesitate.
Since the other side has fired the first shot, it means that this extremely stupid war has begun.
There is nothing left to lose, and it is surprisingly easy to make such a decision that should be difficult...
Grinning his lips self-deprecatingly, Hong Zewei took a deep breath, and the look in his eyes was replaced by determination.
He reached out and pressed the holographic window on the corner of the table, and received the message from the Tiangong City Missile Force.
"Launch ballistic missile, target city Sventovet!"
"… receive."
In Tiangong City, piercing sirens sounded.
The missile launcher drove out of the garage and raised the rectangular missile nest. Along with the plumes of smoke that were sprayed forward and backward at the same time, missiles more than ten meters long were launched one after another, focusing their fire in the direction of Sventovit City and the opponent's space elevator.
Golovin's land-based short-range missile immediately took off and intercepted the ballistic missile launched from Tiangong City. Balls of explosive fire exploded above the desert, like gorgeous fireworks, announcing the breakdown of the friendship between the two parties.
Staring at the image on the holographic screen, Hong Zewei clenched his fists.
Obviously, the other party had already expected such a day.
In other words, they have been preparing for this day since a long time ago.
However, to everyone's surprise, Golovin, who was threatened by a strategic strike, did not launch a counterattack against Tiangong City. He even ignored the civilian transport ship leaving the port from the Star Ring Trade Space Elevator and only launched short-range missiles. Stop all incoming ballistic missiles.
Perhaps in their eyes, these things that are destined to be destroyed are no longer worth wasting ammunition.
Boxes of supplies were sent to the synchronous orbit along the space elevator. The Sventovet was slowly making final preparations for the upcoming voyage. At the same time, rows of naval guns of different sizes on the ship were aimed at each other from a distance. Tiangong City was shrouded in graviton shields.
Obviously, the Gorovans have been hiding their strength.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Hong Zewei, who was staring at the picture on the holographic screen, couldn't believe that there were so many naval guns hidden on that harmless starship...
However, at this moment, a change suddenly occurred.
In the direction of the asteroid belt, insect ships waving tentacles suddenly shot out of the deep and dark sky.
The fierce light staring from light years away finally approached the gate of earth's civilization at this moment.
These bugs always seem to catch people off guard.
Leaving behind the colony ship that had just passed through the asteroid belt between Jupiter and Mars, more than thirty insect ships and countless split bodies had already arrived at the battlefield first.
After being advanced by half a century, the countdown to the end of the world has been unreasonably advanced by three days...
