#866 - Chapter 866: Strike First
"Dad, it looks like something's happened to Blue Star," Nata said.
"Yes. Can you make a quick calculation and tell me the approximate number of golden mechs stationed at the wormhole entrance?" Dongfang Chen Er asked.
"There should be around 8 million," Nata immediately reported the result.
"8 million mechs! Impressive! It seems he's still holding back on us," Dongfang Chen Er exclaimed.
"Holding back? I think it's more like being insidious, don't you think?" Mengka muttered.
After seeing so many mechs, Mengka suddenly felt a strong aversion to Old Qin.
Why?
Because if this Old Qin possessed such power, why didn't he intervene sooner when the crisis erupted? Instead, he waited until the situation deteriorated beyond repair before revealing his strength.
Is that holding back?
It's extreme selfishness and insidiousness.
The greater a person's ability, the greater their responsibility.
Especially since Blue Star is a planet where humanity collectively survives, everyone should contribute their meager strength.
"Sitting idly by while living beings are plunged into misery, and now jumping out to act like a big shot! Trash!" Mengka felt unbalanced and continued to curse.
From the day she was born, Mengka had always considered herself a guardian of humanity. Unfortunately, to avoid surveillance by the remnants of Sirius, she hid in the Kunlun Mountains for hundreds of thousands of years without emerging. Even so, she still helped Huaguo guard the northern passage of the Taklamakan Desert, preventing the persecution of the Chinese people by the Mani sect.
She never expected there to be someone like Old Qin on Blue Star, who kept a low profile and secretly accumulated such a large fortune.
If he had intervened before the virus outbreak, or cleaned up Modo earlier, would things have developed to this point?
So, her cursing wasn't wrong.
Dongfang Chen Er glanced at her and said:
"Perhaps from the beginning, he never intended to protect the humans on Blue Star."
"Then what is he doing now?" Mengka asked.
"He's protecting himself," Dongfang Chen Er said.
"Despicable!" Mengka stomped her foot in anger.
"Now you should also be able to see that Longguo must have other plans for Blue Star, and Old Qin is just one of the executors of this plan."
"One of them? Are you saying that besides this Old Qin, there are others?" Mengka asked.
"That's right. He said last time that he was a monitor sent by Longguo. Do you think Longguo would only set up one monitor?"
"No," Mengka understood.
"So, the waters of Blue Star are probably deeper than what we see now," Dongfang Chen Er speculated.
"Then if you know that, why are you wading into this muddy water?" Mengka asked.
"I'm afraid that descendants like you will emerge and poke at my spine," Dongfang Chen Er joked.
"Pfft ~" Mengka laughed.
"Dad, what do we do now?" Nata asked.
"Order the Tiangang Fleet and Tiansha Fleet to be stationed on either side of the moon and monitor Blue Star," Dongfang Chen Er said.
"What about the wormhole?" Nata asked.
"I believe Old Qin will definitely guard it well, so let's not join in the fun," Dongfang Chen Er said with a smile.
"That's true," Nata nodded.
......
Blue Star, Old Qin's secret base.
"Commander, a large number of spaceships have been detected landing on Blue Star," a staff member reported.
Their sub-space sentry towers mainly monitor Blue Star and have not yet detected the fleet stationed on the moon.
"It should be Dongfang Chen Er's people. Zoom in on the picture and see what they're doing," Old Qin said.
"Yes."
The picture zoomed in, and 500 space mechs were suspended outside the Lop Nur base, not knowing what they were doing.
"It seems they want to capture the Lop Nur base," Old Qin speculated.
"Do we need to eliminate them?" a staff member asked.
In their opinion, space mechs are weaklings, and the Guardians can easily crush them.
"Eliminate them, so they don't cause trouble in the base," Old Qin replied.
He hadn't returned to Lop Nur during this time and didn't know that it had already been captured by Dongfang Chen Er.
"Okay. 1000 Guardians have been dispatched," the staff member replied.
5 minutes later.
Above the Lop Nur base.
The 500 sailors had already discussed a plan:
They would each go to a base and gain control of it. Then, using the base they controlled as their headquarters, they would begin to develop.
Although they were developing separately, if there were any unexpected situations, one side would definitely be in trouble, and all sides would provide support.
After the discussion was completed, just before they were about to set off, the Guardians suddenly arrived.
"Enemies!" a sailor shouted.
"Be careful, the golden discs they release are very powerful and can tear through the spatial shields!" another sailor reminded.
They had the database provided by Nata and were not a group of complete newbies.
"Strike first, attack!"
