Chapter 453: It's All Illusions
"In addition, there are two powerful countries on the northern continent, Hongguo and Languo, and a group of colonies on the southern continent that are similar to African countries."
"This is a good place, if we sell the primitive civilization on this planet to the empire after unification, how much will it be worth one percent of the shares of a living planet that is all people!" Stopher licked his lips.
"Let's go down and have a look, Captain, Kari has a multi-purpose mech ready." Stova rubbed her hands excitedly.
After obtaining Li Mingze's consent, the expedition ship entered the planet's atmosphere from above the planet's sea, and twenty mechs flew out of the cargo hold of the expedition ship with air currents on their backs.
At the Hongguo command center, which is 500 kilometers away from the coastline, the commander-in-chief of the Hongguo Army is drinking and chatting with his subordinates.
Their vast tank forces had advanced into the hinterland of the Lan Kingdom, and a torrent of steel consisting of hundreds of thousands of tanks and armored vehicles had crushed all the obstacles that dared to stand in the way.
In just one week, their Hongguo's troops will be able to advance to the capital of Lan, and the Northern Continent will usher in its unification.
However, just as they were celebrating the victory in advance with a grand banquet, twenty mechs suddenly broke through the thick reinforced concrete walls of the headquarters and fell into the hall.
Accompanied by the screams of the people, twenty mechs aimed their Gauss machine guns at the fleeing crowd.
"Everyone is not allowed to move, squat on the spot, otherwise we will not show mercy with the machine guns in our hands." Stoffer's voice was heard from one of the mechs.
"Whoever of you has the highest position, let him stand up." Li Mingze held a machine gun and fired several shots at the top of the banquet hall, causing everyone to scream again, and then shouted at the crowd.
"I... I.. I am the Commander-in-Chief of the Army of Hongguo. "An elderly man in his sixties, probably in his sixties, walked out of the crowd.
Several times his subordinates tried to reach out and stop him, but he reached out to open them.
"Excuse me, everybody.... Where did you come from, and what did you do to us? ”
"It's better to taste the wine first, sit down and talk about it slowly." The commander-in-chief made a gesture of please.
"Entrust the mecha to the artificial intelligence to be in charge of vigilance, let's go down and take a look." Li Mingze controlled the mecha and nodded to the others.
Soon the cockpits of the twenty mechs opened outward, and twenty explorers in power armor jumped out of the cockpit.
The AI-controlled mechs keep an eye on the crowd around them, and their power armor protects them from these outdated indigenous weapons, so everyone left their cabs with great peace of mind.
Reaching out to open the armor on his chin, Li Mingze and the others only showed a mouth.
"Yes, yes, respectable sir, come and sit down, you see this is all the food we just eaten, and it is absolutely non-toxic." The old commander picked up a plate of pastries and handed it to Li Mingze and the others.
"Stop! Don't eat! Li Mingze suddenly frowned, reached out and knocked away Stoffer's hand that was reaching for the pastry.
"You say, on an unknown planet, how unlikely is it that there will be several fruits that are exactly the same as those on Earth, and the other fruits are also specialties of the Empire." Li Mingze frowned and asked the explorers around him.
"Impossible, this probability is too low." Stova shook her head.
"Everyone, withdraw the mech! Notify Shibi to come and pick us up! Here's the problem! Li Mingze felt a chill rise from the soles of his feet, and hurriedly shouted at everyone.
"Eh, what are you planning to do, sir, it's not good to stay here?"
"And did I let you go?" The old commander's tone suddenly became gloomy as he spoke, and the facial features began to distort.
Seeing this scene, Li Mingze and the others hurriedly pulled out their rifles and retreated towards the mecha while firing.
However, the bullets they fired only exploded into a pile of purple liquid after hitting the people in the hall who began to twist, and the "person" who was hit quickly returned to its original state.
"Hahaha, you can't hurt me, just be my food." Everyone in the hall suddenly shouted in unison.
The high-ranking officials of Hongguo, who originally looked like ordinary people, turned into monsters composed of purple liquid, and the two sharp claws of the monsters were still waving in the air.
"How's it going, has the Shibi arrived? Why is it so slow! Li Mingze, who had returned to the mecha, shouted while controlling the mecha and shooting wildly at the crowd.
"No, sir, we lost and flew .... "Storva's voice was not finished, and she also lost contact with Li Mingze.
"What's going on?" Li Mingze saw that the mecha around him was obviously still intact, but they had lost contact with each other.
"Captain, these monsters can block our signals!" Stora suddenly shouted at Li Mingze through the mecha's speakers.
"Let's go, let's get out!" Li Mingze threw away the machine gun that had already fired empty bullets, and pulled out two howitzers from both sides of the mecha's thighs.
As a grenade fell into the horde, the explosion splattered puddles of purple liquid, but the liquid gathered together in a matter of seconds after being dispersed.
"Not good! These guys can't be killed, pay attention to saving ammo! Li Mingze frowned, it seems that this is a special creature that can be physically immune.
When Li Mingze and the others gave up blocking the monster group and accelerated to rush outside the building, they were stunned by the scene in front of them.
Purple monsters with no end in sight appeared in the squares and streets around the building, rushing towards their location.
"Start the thrusters, let's go in the air!" Li Mingze said as he spoke, a light flame suddenly appeared behind him, and the dazzling light flame pushed the heavy mecha into the air.
The explorers behind him did not dare to lag behind, and they lit their thrusters one after another and rushed into the air.
"Switching jet engines saves energy." Li Mingze breathed a sigh of relief after seeing that none of the twenty people he brought out had been missed.
It was at this time that the crowd realized that the bustling city they had seen through the drone had become a different picture.
Broken ships are all over the land! All the ships were in tatters, and their surfaces were full of signs of corrosion.
Judging by the degree of aging of these ships, they have a long history.
"Damn, all we see through the drone are illusions, all of which these guys disguised themselves to trick us!"
"Judging by the number of these ships, it's clear that they've succeeded many times." Li Mingze smashed his fist angrily.
"Thank you, Captain, for saving my life just now, and I don't know what will happen if I eat that snack." Stopover bowed to Li Mingze, his eyes full of gratitude.
