Chapter 723: Counterattack

The strange thing seemed very happy: "Great! So...can our expedition team launch immediately?"

Li Yang nodded: "That's natural, we have prepared a reception place for you."

"But before that, we would like to take a look at the technology you mentioned to resist the [epidemic]."

"After all... we also need to ensure that you have the conditions worthy of our cooperation."

The strange thing hesitated for a moment, then slowly spoke:

"Of course it's okay."

"But I'm afraid, we need to wait until our expedition team arrives before we can show it."

Li Yang pretended to understand: "Oh...that's it, I understand."

"Then how long will it take for your expedition team to arrive?"

"If we send the message now, it will take about twelve blue stars," the strange creature replied, "We will arrive as quickly as possible."

Li Yang nodded in agreement: "Okay, we will welcome you in twelve hours."

After the holographic projection disappeared, Li Yang immediately turned to his companions: "Everyone, the next period of time is crucial."

"We must be prepared to handle any situation that may arise."

Jiang Xiaoxiao asked: "Do you think they will really come? Or is this just a cover?"

Li Yang pondered for a moment and replied: "Since there is only one final step left, there is no need for us to worry at this time."

"Although it happened in the way we expected..."

Bai Zhi added: "The technical team has made preparations to monitor the surrounding space around the clock."

"If there is any abnormality, we will be notified immediately."

Li Yang nodded in approval: "Very good. Now, let us all take our separate ways and wait for their arrival."

For the next period of time, many people waited nervously, knowing what would happen next.

But one hour before the appointed time, the alarm suddenly sounded.

"What happened?" Li Yang asked immediately.

Bai Zhi quickly checked the monitoring data, and her face suddenly turned pale: "Li Yang, you have to take a look at this..."

She adjusted a holographic image, showing the space around the Blue Star.

In the image, hundreds of blue spheres similar to those from before are approaching the blue star.

"This..." Jiang Xiaoxiao took a breath of air, "What kind of expedition team is this? It's literally an entire fleet!"

Li Yang's expression became extremely serious: "It seems that our worries have come true... They had no good intentions from the beginning."

At this moment, the communication system suddenly sounded, and it was the strange voice: "Dear Blue Star friends, I'm sorry that we arrived a little early... I hope this will cause you too much trouble."

Li Yang replied coldly: "Is this what you call a small expedition team? Do we understand the so-called small expedition team too much?"

The strange thing burst into deep laughter:

"Smart things, you are much more vigilant than you think."

"That's it, it's already done. It's too late."

"The right to choose is given to you. Whether to surrender or to destroy, you choose it yourself!"

"Why?" Li Yang asked, although he already had the answer in his mind.

"Because you have everything we need!" The strange creature replied, "Our civilization is declining and we need new resources to bring hope."

"And you, exactly have everything we need."

Li Yang sneered: "So those words about [epidemic] are all lies?"

"Absolutely..." the strange thing said, "[The epidemic] does exist, but... we have only had tentative contact with it."

"But what does the existence of [epidemic] have to do with us?"

"Even if there is no [epidemic], we are just lingering."

Li Yang took a deep breath, and then said firmly: "In this case...then there is no need to be polite."

"Ha... What a stubborn statement." The strange creature mocked, "But do you really think that with your primitive technology, you can resist them?"

Li Yang showed a mysterious smile: "Who said we only have primitive technology?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a large rainbow-colored barrier suddenly appeared around Blue Star, blocking all the blue spheres.

The strange thing asked in surprise: "What...what's going on?"

Li Yang said proudly: "You are going to die anyway, so there is no need for you to know so clearly."

After speaking, Li Yang raised his head slightly and nodded slightly to somewhere in the sky.

Suddenly, a silver-white beam of light shot out from the surface of the blue star, hitting every blue sphere accurately.

After a violent explosion, the huge fleet turned into a gorgeous sea of ​​fire in space.

The strange thing shouted in disbelief: "How can you have such strength?"

"Yeah...how could it be?" Li Yang's voice became joking, "I want to know, then come down and have a good chat."

There was a silence in the communication, and then a strange voice: "You will regret it... one day, they will make a comeback..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the remaining few surviving spheres were also penetrated.

The communication was disconnected, and the angry voice of the thing disappeared.

Li Yang breathed a sigh of relief, but his expression was not much relieved: "But I still know... where these things come from."

"Logically speaking, there should be only a few civilizations that can travel across space at will."

Bai Zhi asked curiously: "You mean, there will be other threats?"

Li Yang nodded: "The universe is so big that there are nothing strange."

"Even this thing is a little beyond our expectations. Who knows what we will encounter in the future?"

"Then what should we do?" Jiang Xiaoxiao asked.

Li Yang's eyes flashed with a trace of determination: "There's no need to worry too much."

"Although our technological level may be a little backward, we still have a lot of foreign knowledge."

"Right now... the [epidemic] problem has not been resolved, and this kind of threat has appeared again."

"Perhaps there are many people in this world who don't know the situation..."

"If you want to find out, the best way is to find [the source] and ask clearly."

"If even it knows, that would be a real trouble."

Jiang Xiaoxiao and Bai Zhi nodded solemnly, with a faint worry in their hearts.

Night fell, and the sky was dotted with stars.

People in the base began to celebrate their victory, but Li Yang knew that the real challenge had just begun.

Standing on the observation deck, looking at the vast starry sky, Li Yang muttered something vaguely.

In the distance, a meteor streaked across the night sky, as if cheering for this easy victory.

This night, many people on the blue planet were celebrating.

But they didn't know that in the depths of the distant universe, more eyes were looking at this blue planet, some full of curiosity, some with hidden ambitions...
