More than an hour later.
Qi Dong and the others drank so much that their cheeks turned red.
Chen Ye burped and said, putting a hand on Bei Kailun's shoulder.
"Old Bei, today is such a nice day, why are you just drinking and not saying anything?"
"You guys talk, and I'll just listen."
Bei Kailun chuckled and replied.
"That's so boring! Seriously, are you happy today? Aklu and the others got so many properties."
"It's expected. Guess why we follow the captain so wholeheartedly?"
"Uh, I don't know, why?"
Chen Ye asked very curiously.
Bei Kailun picked up the wine glass, took a big sip, and replied in good spirits.
"Because he is trustworthy. There are many capable people and heroes in this world. Some of them are even smarter, more courageous and more charming than Shen Qiu. But so what? In our eyes, those people will never be as good as Shen Qiu."
"Why?"
"It's very simple. In the eyes of those people, we are just stepping stones for them to climb to the top. We are all expendable. In other words, what does it have to do with us when those people become successful? We are not stupid enough to be stepping stones for others."
“That makes sense.”
"As for the captain, he is different from others. You should know that we all used to play extreme sports in Tianji Club."
"I heard from the boss."
"Let me tell you simply, all of us who play extreme sports have problems. We are neurotic and wild. It's not something that ordinary people can control. But Shen Qiu can."
"oh."
"It's ridiculous to say that a captain who is bent on committing suicide cares so much about the lives of others. You also know that the extreme sports we pursue have a very high mortality rate. But every time something happens, Shen Qiu will do everything he can to save the team members in trouble. Although he may not be able to save them, he will definitely try his best. Even if he fails, he will act like a fool and take out his little money to take care of the funeral affairs of his deceased companions. It can be said that there is no need to worry about following the captain. He will never treat us unfairly. This is why we follow him wholeheartedly."
Bei Kailun said with some emotion. In his mind, the king does not have to be the strongest, but must be the best.
"Yeah, I feel the same way."
Chen Ye responded in full agreement.
At this time, Shen Qiu saw Chen Ye and Bei Kailun gathered together and chatting very happily, so he raised his glass and shouted to the two of them.
"What are you guys talking about? Go drink some wine."
"Okay, Boss!"
Chen Ye replied with a smile.
"It's a rare happy day today, everyone is eating and drinking to their heart's content."
Shen Qiu said in a very good mood.
"I won't go home until I'm drunk today!"
Huang Lang shouted excitedly.
However, at this moment, a shrill alarm suddenly sounded throughout the City of Stars.
Shen Qiu and others, who were still a little drunk, stood up one by one and became sober.
"What happened?"
Huang Lang asked in confusion.
"It's an air defense warning. Huang Lang, you guys stay here, we'll go out and take a look!"
Shen Qiu rushed out immediately.
At this moment, everyone in the entire City of Stars, whether in the inner city or the outer city, showed a look of horror.
At the same time, in every area of the huge City of Stars, defense personnel were mobilized.
…
City of Stars, Ring 1, Star Bridge, Strategic Defense Center Command Room.
Personnel dressed in blue military uniforms and red uniforms sat in front of the operating table and operated anxiously.
The entire command room is somewhat similar to the structure of a ship's bridge, and there is a holographic imaging device directly in front of all the operating consoles.
This device clearly displays the City of Stars and a map of the surrounding 2,000 kilometers.
A middle-aged man with tough features, wearing a general's uniform and with a solemn expression, shouted with his hands behind his back and a tense expression.
"I need to get an accurate picture of the enemy, so hurry up!"
"Yes, General Hebika!"
Everyone present responded nervously.
Click!
At this time, the closed metal door of the command room opened, followed by the sound of footsteps.
Hebika turned his head and saw Speaker Oroko and Deputy Speaker Kevita walking in with serious expressions. He then greeted them in a deep voice.
"Master Oroko, Vice-Chairman Keveta."
Oroko asked bluntly with a deadpan expression.
"What's going on now?"
"The radar device has detected countless aerial monsters attacking. Please take a look at the details!"
Hebika pointed his finger at the holographic scanning image, and saw that it was covered with densely packed red dots, the number of which was extremely large.
"How could this happen? Why would so many monsters attack the City of Stars? Doesn't the City of Stars have corresponding shielding devices?"
Speaker Oroko asked angrily.
General Hebika hesitated, then spoke.
"Mr. Council President, this may be related to the fact that there are too many refugees outside the city. They are like bait, constantly attracting monsters."
Upon hearing this, Speaker Oroco frowned and his expression became even more gloomy.
At this time, Vice Speaker Kevita snorted coldly.
"I've said it before, letting those refugees stay outside is just a show of softness, now it's causing trouble."
"Okay, let's talk about this later! The most urgent thing is to deal with these invading monsters. How is Hebika's defensive weapons prepared?"
"Mr. Council President, although our defensive weapons have been basically installed, they have not yet been debugged, and some of the weapons cannot be activated."
Hebika said after a moment's hesitation.
"I don't care about that. Anyway, we will kill all the invading monsters and never allow them to cause any harm to the City of Stars."
Speaker of the Oroco Council directly interrupted Hebica and gave orders in a strong manner.
"yes!"
Hebika immediately saluted in return.
…
In the night, countless Hellfire Birds, ugly moth beasts, and various ferocious flying monsters were seen, like dark clouds, sweeping over the sky and attacking the City of Stars from all directions.
In the magnificent City of Stars, shrill alarms sounded one after another.
Click!
The smooth metal ground in the city cracked open and rows of honeycomb-like launchers rose up.
Fixed weapons in each area are activated instantly.
Click!
One after another, semicircular laser-shooting cannons with two protruding barrels were activated.
On the metal fence, all the lightning towers were activated, and the entire tower was flashing with blue arcs.
Outside the City of Stars, in the refugee gathering area, many refugees heard the shrill alarm sounding from the City of Stars and looked up at the sky in panic.
The sky, which used to be full of twinkling stars, now seemed to be covered by dark clouds.
Then a large number of flying monsters fell from the sky.
At this time, a soldier of the Red Holy Word Legion wearing mechanical armor shouted hysterically.
"It's a monster! Run!"
At this moment, many refugees are fleeing in panic!
“Woo woo!”
"Ah~ Run away."
