Chapter 255: Lies
The demonstrations became more and more vigorous. The indignant people demand only one, the United Nations must punish these evil aliens!
In just 20 hours, the United Nations quickly adopted a resolution and unanimously adopted the Declaration of War against the Swan Fleet.
The war between the two civilizations has officially begun.
A week later.
The scene of seeing off the space fleet was magnificent. With tears in their eyes, the people watched the neatly arranged, rigorous, majestic and majestic United Nations Space Fleet on the television screen. Thousands of warships, with plasma engines lit up at the same time at the tail, shine with a brilliance comparable to the starry sky, incomparably bright. The entire southern hemisphere, which was in the dark, was illuminated.
This unprecedented force in human history will arrive on Mars in half a month. They will stop the swan fleet in orbit around Mars. The whole process of blocking will be broadcast live around the world.
Countless people poured into the streets with flowers in hand, watching this group of dazzling luxury fleets gradually turn into a little bit in the air and become a new star in the night sky.
August 9, 2043.
Earth's United Nations Space Fleet encounters the Swan Fleet in outer orbit around Mars.
At 11 o'clock GMT, the UN fleet took the lead in attacking.
On this day, tens of billions of people around the world stopped working, and everyone paid attention to the real-time video footage transmitted from the battlefield, and their hearts were surging.
In the picture, the missiles and energy weapons of the United Nations fleet are like a storm, accurately hitting one of the giant motherships of the Swan fleet across space. Brilliant fireworks instantly illuminate a large space.
In the face of the blow from the United Nations fleet, the seven motherships of the Swan fleet quickly deformed and unfolded, taking on a combat form, and countless small subships were released from them.
These subships are the smallest and larger than the largest warships of the UN fleet. I saw that these sub-ships quickly released smaller flying units. A swarm of locusts flew towards the United Nations fleet.
The United Nations fleet quickly reversed its target and attacked the subships. But seeing the explosions and fireworks form a feast of destruction, the universe has never been so dazzling and splendid.
Hundreds of Swan fleet subships were immediately destroyed by the United Nations fleet. Mankind has achieved brilliant results.
At this moment, no one doubts that the ultimate winner of this war will be the earthlings, and the alien evil forces are destined to be destroyed!
The video signal coming back from the battlefield ahead suddenly cut off. The host smiled and told everyone that there was a quantum interference between the two sides on the battlefield, so the video signal could not be transmitted back for the time being.
Countless people have poured into the streets, and the lights of high-rise buildings have been turned off. People look up at the starry sky and try to pinpoint the direction of Mars.
"There it is!" One man cheered.
Even though Mars is very far away from Earth, because both ships use sub-light engines, the light caused by the detonation will be no weaker than that of a stellar explosion. Therefore, even with the naked eye, you can see that short and bright points of light flickering in this starry sky.
It is as if people have seen the moment of the triumphant return of the United Nations fleet!
Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night......
……
A week has passed since the exchange of fire between the United Nations fleet and the Swan fleet.
People in every country of the planet have returned to normal life. It's just that everyone is looking forward to it every day, wanting to get the latest battle situation from the front.
A few days ago, a new battle report was announced: after the initial encounter, the human and swan fleets were locked in a tug-of-war. The United Nations fleet is in a state of scorching war with the Swan fleet in the outer orbit of Mars.
At the same time, government mouthpieces in some developed countries have informed the public that the war situation is moving in a more favorable direction for humanity.
There are expectations, but no one knows how long this battle will last.
The video signal from the front has not been restored for a long time. Therefore, going out every night to look up at the starry sky has become a repertoire for many people. Since that day, however, no one has seen the raindrops.
I don't know when some noise began to rise on the Internet. An anonymous message spread that said that in fact, the United Nations fleet had been wiped out on the spot long after the initial engagement. At this moment, the Swan fleet is heading from the orbit of Mars towards Earth. The source also said that, in fact, governments have long since emptied the building! The vast majority of countries are now in a state of anarchy. Dignitaries have long since fled the planet.
The message was signed by a former government official who still had a conscience.
No one can tell if the news is true or false. The people are full of doubts and confusion, and they are calling on the government to come forward to explain and clarify.
These days, meteor showers can be seen during the day. Almost the entire globe has seen the spectacle: countless fiery meteors pierce the sky day and night, sometimes for hours.
Some experts on the TV show explained that this was the first encounter with the fragments of the Swan fleet subship during the war, which had been affected by the Earth's gravity and had come to Earth from the outer orbit of Mars.
In any case, life went on peacefully.
It's just that an unusual atmosphere has begun to spread.
……
The sudden and rapid sound of air raid sirens woke many people from their sleep.
"What's going on?"
"Why is it so noisy outside?"
"What? Watching TV news? It's already so late, what news is there......"
One after another, people turned on the television, and there was only one picture in the channel, which was a well-known newscaster. The announcer's face was very pale, and he was announcing a news in a trembling voice.
The expressions on people's faces were at first confused, then turned to surprise, and after listening to the broadcast, they all fell silent.
"The news has been confirmed...... Approximately in ...... Ten minutes ago, several famous observatories around the world simultaneously observed a fleet of swans appearing near the Earth's orbit...... There are seven ships in total, and one is not missing...... They...... It seems to have suddenly appeared in orbit...... Satellites of several countries were attacked...... Other than that, the UN Space Fleet was not seen......"
The people were stunned and kept their posture from the previous moment.
Countless people finally realized that the United Nations fleet had really been wiped out long ago! That rumor on the Internet is true......
People couldn't believe it!
The next moment, everyone felt an unprecedented anger of being betrayed by their side......
Countless people scolded their government officials, cursing the scum of humanity who had concealed the truth and abandoned everyone, and I am afraid that they had already fled the earth for an unknown number of days!
In the darkness, uncontrollable cries rang out.
……
No one can tell how the next 7 hours were passed.
On the live TV screen, video signals from all over the world appeared.
Day and night, bright swan fleet ships appeared in the clouds, and incomparably huge shadows obscured all the light. Giant spider-shaped robots descend from the sky.
This situation is found in major cities around the world.
These metal trolls descend from the sky, resembling both spiders and squid. They use their upright multi-siblings to move through the city's buildings, with the rapidly spreading flames behind them.
Armored vehicles and tanks appeared in the streets.
The armies stationed in the cities of various countries began to organize themselves and set up defensive fronts on the periphery of the cities. The tank's artillery fire launched an attack on the spider robots. A spider crashed down after being covered in heavy artillery fire. However, more and more fell from the sky.
Due to the lack of unity and coordination, the defensive forces on the ground fought separately, quickly suffered a rout, and began to retreat one after another.
The army escorted civilians to the center of the city, and more people poured into the streets without purpose. There are a lot of people who don't know what's going on.
A reporter was accidentally grabbed by the outstretched tentacles of a giant spider robot, and the person was instantly lifted into the air. A scene that countless people will never forget appeared: the reporter was quickly filled with tubes, wailing in pain, and shocking red blood was sucked into the spider robot along the pipe. I saw that the reporter's skin quickly dried up, his eye sockets were sunken, and in a short time, the blood was drained and a dried corpse was left.
Confusion!
This scene stimulates people's last sanity. People desperately began to desperately try to escape. Countless vehicles poured into the streets, and in just a few minutes, the traffic was completely jammed.
People abandoned their cars and fled. More people have been rolled up from mid-air by the spider robot chasing behind them, screams and screams in their ears, and the air of despair has frozen in the city. A hellish sight!
There is no declaration of war, no ultimatum.
The first thing the Swan Fleet did when it came to Earth made everyone think it was a nightmare.
Some people understand that this is not war, not even aggression.
It's predation!
Humans in the city are being captured in large numbers. Without hesitation, these spider machines drained each prey of blood. It's like it's the most delicious thing in the universe. Greed is unbridled. The remnants fled frantically to the countryside and villages, praying that they would escape this hell on earth.
The city is littered with discarded human corpses. Those who have lost hope of escape look at the approaching giant machines with only infinite fear and despair in their eyes.
At such a time, someone finally remembered Li Quan.
The hope of the world to resist extraterrestrial civilization has long been the result of the legendary deeds created by Heart of the Forest Corporation thirty years ago. Even if many people begin to forget, even if many are so paralyzed that they do not want to accept it. Now, however, countless people have come to believe that only Heart of the Forest can save humanity from this hell. If the gods will favor humans, it must be through the hand of the Heart of the Forest.
Countless people are eager to know at this moment, Li Quan, where is he now?
