Chapter 424: The Way of the Family Man

Views:

Just before dawn.

Under the dark night, a small battleship with a length of 100 meters and a strange shape appeared on the outskirts of Cherry City.

It slowly rose into the sky from the place surrounded by mountains. The black and green spray had already made it completely blend into the night, but the blue light that began to gather at the front of the battleship's muzzle made people Gradually, vaguely saw it.

The upper part is a semi-arc shell, and the lower part is densely packed with slender branches like tentacles, each branch is twisting and entangled, like an earthworm.

It looked like a mutated ugly ladybug, or some kind of jellyfish.

And with every twist and twist of these living branches and tentacles, more light gathers in the 10-meter-diameter muzzle at the front.

This kind of blue light flickered in the darkness, and it didn't give people any bright and warm feeling. On the contrary, it was only cold and ferocious, like a poisonous snake slowly crawling out of the bushes, slowly He opened his mouth, revealing his fangs, showing his viciousness and lethality.

"The battleship of the Sabi Stars!"

Delbon swallowed and said nervously.

Layers of fine sweat just appeared on his forehead.

The member of the 'Clock Tower' stationed in the 'Ground Reconnaissance Bureau' didn't have any thoughts of wiping it. He stared straight at the Sabi star warship, completely confused about the situation.

Why did the battleships of the Sabi Stars appear on the ground

How did it get to the ground

Why didn't the 'Ground Reconnaissance Bureau' notice it in the slightest

Why didn't the famous astrologers in the "mystery side" find any clues

One doubt after another appeared in Delbon's heart.

This made Delbon even more puzzled.

Because, since the establishment of the 'Ground Reconnaissance Bureau', under the strong mobilization, although the Sabi Stars still have a certain advantage, it is impossible for the opponent to approach the ground quietly with such an advantage.

The emergence of the 'lurker' should be the limit.

Such a battleship appears

Totally impossible!

It is impossible even if there is a traitor!

Does the other party have any special technology

Just when Delbon was guessing, the thing that surprised him the most appeared——

"Surface people, repent!"

"Confess that you are still alive!"

Familiar words and voices came from that battleship.

Yes, Bronke!

It was just dead, the voice of Blenke!

Everyone looked at each other in surprise.

They can confirm that Blenke is dead.

But in front of me

Jason was stunned.

Seeing the appearance of this battleship, the confusion that had been in Jason's heart just now was completely solved.

Why is the supposedly powerful Bronke surprisingly weak.

Because, the other party wanted to control this strangely shaped battleship that looked like it was alive.

More precisely, some kind of 'creature'.

The association of battleships with 'creatures' seems ridiculous.

However, the battleship in front of him gave Jason the feeling of being 'alive'.

"Some kind of special creature?"

"Or is it… "

"Is it a creature that appeared after transformation?"

Jason thought about it and looked at the only main gun of this battleship!

It is hard to imagine a battleship with a length of 100 meters having only one main gun without any other weapons.

The result of doing so is nothing more than two.

Or it can't be loaded.

Either... No need!

But in front of him, Jason believed more in the latter.

In fact, it is.

In the next moment—

hum!

boom!

Amidst a special buzzing sound, the main gun of the Sabi star warship fired, and after the dull sound, a straight blue light shot out from the muzzle in the direction of Cherry City.

The dark night sky was directly illuminated.

Everyone saw the blue light flashing across the night, and... the big bang!

boom!

The tumbling flames rose hundreds of meters high.

The scorching high temperature brought a gust of wind and swept the entire Cherry City.

The ground began to shake violently.

Cracks and cracks appeared in the whole city one after another. Buildings tilted, houses collapsed, and cries completely broke the tranquility of Cherry City.

But soon, the cries disappeared.

People looked at the direction of the explosion in horror.

There, only a deep pit remained.

Any above-ground structures, all the people... are gone.

It was as if it had been erased from the top of the map.

A corner of Cherry City completely disappeared.

But more importantly, the light of the main cannon of the Sabi star gathered again.

People stared at this light, as if they saw the scythe of death, and ran in a panic with louder cries than before.

They don't know where to go.

It's just the biological instinct telling them to leave the place.

"It's over, it's over."

Delbon muttered in a low voice with a pale face.

Then, without waiting for Jason, John and the others to ask, he said simply: "The place that was just blown up is the Air Force Base of the 'Ground Reconnaissance Bureau' in Cherry City."

Suddenly, everyone's expressions changed.

Those present were not fools, and they immediately thought of dire consequences.

Without the interference of the air force, the warships of the Sabi Stars would be able to fire recklessly.

"The nearest air force base is in Durian City. Even if you refuel and take off immediately, it will take 45 minutes at the fastest to get here."

Brian said with a serious face.

As someone who used to have a special profession, it is quite normal to know some secrets.

"Is there no counterattack force around?"

McCall asked.

"Now there are only three generations of main battleship 'Kirin' in the base."

Delbon replied.

"The main battleship? Then it must be able to kill it?"

McCall pointed to the Sabi star warship in the sky.

"certainly."

"This kind of small battleship can't compare with the main battleship at all, but the 'Kirin' battleship is an unfinished third-generation main battleship. This time it returned to Earth to completely complete the power and artillery system. Three days ago, the power system of the 'Kirin' Just disassembled, perfected, not installed yet... ”

Before Delbon finished speaking, he smiled wryly.

Although he is a 'mysterious person', he also has in-depth contact with some things called 'technology' after entering the 'Ground Investigation Bureau'.

Maybe he still doesn't know the advanced theory.

However, he knew very well that it would not take a day or two to complete the reinstallation of the power system of the 'Kirin'.

And within a day or two, Cherry City was long gone.

It doesn't even take a day or two.

According to the power and speed shown by the Sabi star warship just now, in half an hour, Cherry City will become a piece of scorched earth.

Brian and McCall's expressions became extremely ugly.

Obviously, the two also thought of this

John, on the other hand, walked towards the room with a cold face.

Cherry City doesn't matter.

The important thing is that there are memories of him and his loved ones here.

Therefore, he did not allow Cherry City to disappear.

A few seconds later, amidst the roar of the engine, a heavy truck drove out from the hidden underground passage on one side.

Looking at the heavy truck rushing out, Delbon's eyes almost popped out.

Heavy trucks are common.

However, the rear of the heavy truck is generally dragging the carriage.

But behind this heavy truck is artillery!

The artillery is divided into three layers, the uppermost layer has 4 muzzles, and the lower two layers have 6 muzzles.

Squeak, squeak!

Under the control of the central pressure regulating system, this heavy truck crawled there like a tiger, and all 16 muzzles were opened. With the adjustment of the barrels, the missiles began to aim at the Sabi star warships. .

"Where did this come from?"

Delbon asked stammeringly.

"As a grown-up family man, shouldn't you have some weapons in the back of the closet, some in the basement, and some in the garage?"

Brian replied very calmly.

"But, but this is a self-propelled artillery!"

Delbon looked like I'm a man too, so don't make fun of me.

"That's the difference between the average family man and the 'mysterious side guy.'"

"The average family man needs more weapons to protect his home and family."

"As for the mysterious side?"

"I don't know much about it, we can talk about it later."

Brian walked towards John as he spoke.

Looking at Brian's back, Delbon twitched.

He is a 'mysterious person', but at most he has a few 'guards' in his home. What's great is to add one or two 'acid traps'. How could there be such an exaggerated thing as a self-propelled artillery in his home

"There's nothing wrong with protecting yourself."

"We just want to make life safer for ourselves."

McCall patted Delbon on the shoulder and comforted him.

For such words, Delbon recognized it subconsciously, and this "mysterious person" was about to nod, and at this time, McCall said again: "So, the self-propelled artillery is not enough, although it has been modified, But the anti-air capability is still not as good as the anti-aircraft gun, and two concealed anti-aircraft guns must be installed in the backyard!"

With such words, McCall also walked towards the heavy truck.

After taking two steps, McCall stopped.

"no."

"Two anti-aircraft guns are too few."

"Also, it's too concentrated."

"At least six doors are needed, scattered around the house."

McCall seemed to have thought of some brilliant idea, and a warm smile appeared on his face.

Delbon heard such words clearly.

This member from the 'Clock Tower' resident 'Ground Investigation Bureau' seems to have been refreshed in the world view.

The stiff neck prevented him from nodding.

wrong!

It's not a matter of nodding at all.

It's just that he can't agree with such a statement at all.

How can there be so many dangerous items in the home

Home should be warm.

Home should be full of laughter.

This kind of home is what makes people nostalgic.

Can…

What if someone came to break such a happy life

Delbon's face became serious.

He began to unconsciously think that his happy family was attacked by foreign intruders. What if his wife and children were hurt, or even something more serious happened

Although I don't now.

But in the future, I will always have it.

So what's wrong with planning for a rainy day

Immediately, the dignified face became serious.

Delbon's breathing was involuntarily rapid.

A feeling of suffocation filled his chest.

He couldn't bear any damage to his wife and children.

The home must be remodeled.

Warning traps, you don't need too many, just put two more.

Acid traps, put 20 more... no, 30 more.

Lightning is advanced, and you need to put 30.

In case the spell is targeted and fails, how can it be broken

Delbon raised his head subconsciously, and looked at the three men not far away.

"Hi, John, Brian, McCall."

"I'm also interested in self-propelled guns."

"In fact, as a child I fantasized that I was a soldier charging into battle."

Delpon said such words and ran over directly.

Jason frowned and looked at Delbon, wanting to remind him, but he didn't say anything in the end.

It's always good to be safe at home.

in case.

After all, no one knows what's going to happen, right

"Can you hit that guy?"

Jason asked.

"no problem."

"I just don't know if I can penetrate it."

McCall was familiar with the instrument panel in front of him.

He doesn't know too much about the Sabi people, but from his visual inspection, the other party's technological strength should be more than a little higher than theirs.

And this has already changed many things.

"I haven't seen the battleship in front of me in the 'Ground Reconnaissance Bureau', but the general Sabi star warships have force field shields, which can block bullets and artillery attacks..."

Delbon, who thought he needed to integrate into the small group in front of him and learn how to be a 'family man', took the initiative to speak.

And amid such words, the sound of propellers came from the side of Cherry City.

Six gunships flew overhead.

"This is the emergency team of the 'Ground Reconnaissance Bureau'."

Delbon said.

Jason and John all looked up.

Six armed helicopters quickly approached the Sabi star warship.

Without any hesitation, the driver directly opened the black box beside him, and a red button appeared inside.

Click!

Amid the unique button sound, the missiles hanging on the short wings on both sides of the helicopter flew out directly.

Twelve specially-made missiles flew directly towards the Sabi star warship.

Boom boom boom!

Flames burst out.

However, everyone's face sank like water.

A layer of light blue force field shields arranged in rectangles appeared around the Sabie warship, completely blocking such attacks.

"One more round!"

The captain of the pilots shouted over the radio.

Whoosh, whoosh!

Another twelve missiles flew out.

This time people can see more clearly.

Layers of light bloomed from the rectangular defensive formation of the Sabi stars, completely illuminating the night sky.

Under the firelight, such a blue color is particularly enchanting.

Even if there are layers of cracks.

"efficient!"

Delbon said excitedly.

But immediately, he saw that the rectangular array began to emit more blue light, and those cracks were repaired bit by bit.

"Can it be repaired?!"

Delbon watched this scene in surprise.

But what shocked Delbon even more was the counterattack of the Sabi star warship.

The energy storage of the main gun stopped with the appearance of the rectangular array.

But those branches below, which seemed to be tentacles, twisted further.

When a certain limit was reached, these tentacles popped out.

Fast!

Moreover, the distance and coverage area are beyond imagination.

None of the six helicopters that were 200 meters away from the Sabi star warship escaped.

They seemed to be swallowed by a gaping mouth.

The flames of the explosion flashed from the gaps in the tentacles.

Let the faces of all ordinary people in Cherry City become dull.

They became more and more flustered.

Fear begins to creep in.

"Stupid ground people."

"You never know what mistakes you made."

Bronke's voice sounded.

Then, the intruder couldn't help but raise his voice a bit.

"Look what I found!"

"Jason!"

In the cold, murderous voice, the muzzle of the Sabi star battleship began to turn.

Delbon's face turned pale in an instant.

He has witnessed the power of this main cannon with his own eyes.

Once the shot came down, he would probably be gasified.

John, Brian, and McCall had calm faces, and the three operated in an orderly manner.

next moment-

Whoosh whoosh!

The missiles in the 16 muzzles are fired directly.

At the moment the missile was launched, the three of them jumped out of the car and ran towards the room.

escape

Not really.

Their family is in the 'safe house' below the room.

Although this 'safe house' is 500 meters underground, with granite 300 meters above it as a natural protection, it is still dangerous if it is bombed by this Sabi star warship for a long time.

So, they are ready to use a little 'special weapon'.

Jason stood there without moving.

He looked up at the crumbling rectangular formation on the outer layer of the Sabi star warship under the bombardment of sixteen special missiles, and his eyes shone with a strange light.

Being beaten passively was not Jason's hobby.

He prefers to be proactive.

But in the face of high-altitude enemies, he is really powerless.

If I could fly...

Jason thought silently.

Above the head, the sound of piercing through the air reappeared.

"Hey honey, want a ride?"

With a unique voice, Jennifer appeared from the night sky on a broomstick. Her witch robe and twin ponytails fluttered in the night wind. Under the beating of those ponytails, the other party was as cute and cute as an elf in the dark night, especially when the other party When he looked at Jason with a smile, he had an extraordinary aura.

It's like... a black cat.

This time, Jason didn't refuse.

"hold me."

Jennifer said, slapped the broom, and flew straight into the air.

After a few breaths, Jennifer and Jason appeared above the Sabi star battleship.

"Did it come to your door?"

"Do you think my attack range is only in the front?"

Bronke sneered.

Immediately, the tentacles under the battleship began to roll up and grabbed Jennifer and Jason above their heads.

Jennifer is about to pull up.

She has the confidence to use her flying skills to tease this Sabi star, and then fight back.

However, Jason, who had been sitting behind her all this time, controlled his body with his stable core strength, and never touched her, stood up suddenly.

"Jason?"

Jennifer turned her head suspiciously.

In her thinking, it should be the cooperation of the two of them, using their respective characteristics, to take care of this battleship.

It takes time, but it's safe.

But Jason didn't think so.

Because, at this moment—

Dawn has come!
