Time rewinds to a few minutes ago. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Zhao Yu's consciousness sank into the virtual space, and he found the alien's preset communication program familiarly: "Quick, calculate the outside time for me for 2 minutes, set a time!" ”

Theoretically, in addition to allowing the system to accurately grasp the time, the flow of time in the virtual space is slower than in reality, and Zhao Yu also plans to rearrange his thoughts and relieve his emotions - after all, his companions have just died, and there are three gray wolves waiting for him outside, and it is false to say that there is no pressure.

But this time it's a little different.

"I'm glad you're here, there's not much time, but I think it's enough to tell you something."

The luminous body said so.

Zhao Yu was stunned for a moment, and then reacted: "You are ...... Ambassador Lake in Buttermins? ”

"Yes."

Counting it, although the virtual space has been in his hands for a while, this is the second time that the alien ambassador has come into contact with Lake, and the first time is when Zhao Yu got the road mark, Lake jumped out to do a novice explanation. But Zhao Yu didn't feel cordial at all, let alone "Ah, the main man is here, it's easy to do now", because he remembered what Lake said last time - "I will contact you in the future when I encounter events related to the Civilization Commonwealth, before that, please become stronger, as strong as possible." ”

That's ...... now What's the situation?

Zhao Yu swallowed his saliva and asked tentatively, "Something happened?" ”

"The Ahmeds are coming." Lake replied bluntly, "Coming soon." ”

"Right now...... How long is it? ”

"Reaching the solar system in 30 minutes of real time, and reaching the Earth time is negligible."

"That's too rushed, isn't it?!" Zhao Yu's hair suddenly stood up, "You came here without even saying hello?" And then the second assessment right away? ”

"That's exactly what they're here for." "And that's what I'm looking for you." ”

Zhao Yu sighed and said with a wry smile: "You say." ”

"The assessment of Ahmeds is generally divided into several stages, and according to past practice, I do not recommend that you actively participate in the first stage."

Zhao Yu blinked. Lake's words were awkward and tactful, but he still understood: "Will my active participation in the first phase of the assessment have an impact on the future?" ”

"Very likely."

"It seems that ......," Zhao Yu guessed, "the first stage is not very difficult?" ”

"The assessment of the Ahmeds will not be in a situation where the tested civilization will never pass." Lake replied, "But in the past five hundred and nine assessments conducted by the Ahmeds, only two of the tested civilizations have passed the assessment and become members of the Galactic Civilization Commonwealth. ”

"So difficult?" Zhao Yu scratched his head, "So what will happen if you don't pass this time?" I remember you saying that the consequences can be very serious. ”

"Since this is the assessment that the Earth Civilization took the initiative to apply, what I can be sure of is that there will not be a third assessment." "That's what I can reveal, and the rest of the Ahmeds will be explained at the beginning of the assessment." ”

"So you're here to warn me not to work too hard in the first stage of the assessment?"

"Yes, the next stage is where you come in."

Zhao Yu looked at Lake curiously, but of course he couldn't see anything from this light cluster: "You have so much confidence in me?" Think I'm more reliable than Project Twilight? ”

"I have confidence in the earthlings, no matter what kind of blow you encounter, there will always be some of you who will not give up." Lake said, "Whether or not you can pass the assessment this time is largely determined by this." ”

Zhao Yu frowned and pondered the meaning of Lake's words, but heard Lake continue: "This is the only hint I can provide, and the rest is only up to you." Remember, why you have been killing each other for half a century, and what gave you the courage to summon the second test...... Remember, don't give up. ”

The world in front of him began to become bleak, and Zhao Yu knew that his consciousness would rise to reality in a few tens of seconds, but he still couldn't help but ask the last question: "At the beginning, you didn't care about the fate of the earthlings, and you stuck to the rules, why do you want to take the initiative to help us now?" ”

=============================

The northeastern sky is getting brighter and brighter, almost like a red sun about to burst out of the horizon.

However, everyone knows that the North American continent does not see the sunrise.

"What the hell is that?" Hunter jumped out of the car and looked in that direction, "Old man, you know what? ”

Before Zhao Yu could answer, a voice rang out, and it was someone talking on the car radio. To be precise, this is the closest sound source to them, in fact, all the devices that can still produce sound on the entire street, loudspeakers, radios, telephones, televisions, speakers...... The same voice rang out at this moment.

It was the voice of a middle-aged male, but if you listened closely, it had a mechanical twist, as if it had not been made by a living person, and if anyone had a good memory, they would recall that this method of pronunciation was once the favorite use of the Bartmins - the translation equipment converted their language into the language of the earth, impeccable in the choice of words and sentences, but the earthlings could still hear the slightest unnaturalness that could only be understood.

"To all members of the Earth Civilization Circle, this is the Ahmed Starfleet of the Galactic Civilization Consortium, at the request of the Atlantic Alliance in the Earth Civilization, the Earth Civilization Consortium will be assessed for the second time."

"They hacked directly into our communication channel!" Hunter took off his helmet in horror, "Every channel is their voice!" You're right, old man, here they are! ”

At 4:19 a.m. local time in Las Vegas, May 9, 2155 AD, the Ahmed fleet arrived on Earth.

There doesn't seem to be anything changed in space, and all the instruments of the earth's civilization can't detect any abnormalities, but if you look at the universe with the most ordinary optical astronomical telescope, you can clearly see a shadow appearing in low-earth orbit, the volume of this shadow is about equivalent to the combination of more than a dozen hundred-meter-high buildings, the shape is irregular, and you can't see any details clearly, you can only see countless points of light flickering, and under the shadow, somewhere on the North American continent shrouded in darkness, is flashing with unusual light.

"This assessment will start 10 minutes after the end of the broadcast Earth time, and the assessment will be divided into three phases, the first of which will be as follows......"

On the side of the street, there were only snowflakes left, and the electronic advertising screen that should not have received any signal suddenly flashed, reflecting an image, and at the moment of seeing this image, Zhao Yu's eyes widened, and almost all the hairs on his body stood up!

The originally dark sky was flickering like countless lightning bolts exploding in the clouds, illuminating the entire night sky, and a behemoth was slowly descending from the clouds, and after a few minutes, it managed to fall to the ground, and the top was still towering into the clouds, like a giant city falling from the sky.

It was a mechanical tower—it was a death tower that Zhao Yu had suddenly foreseen, surrounded by bones and wreckage!

"Is that you?" Zhao Yu muttered to himself, "Are you the ones who ruined everything in my hunch?" ”

"It's 36 degrees 59 minutes north latitude and 114 degrees 41 minutes west longitude." The voice of the Ahmed said, "Your first stage of assessment is the location. After the start of the assessment, the building will be the center of the circle, and the examination room will be within a radius of 7.5 kilometers. Obstacles and defenses other than human beings that the Atlantic Alliance has put into combat will appear in the testing room, and any object entering the testing room will be attacked, and any attack launched outside the testing room will be ineffective. Assessment Criteria: The building will open 126 doors on the ground floor, and if a human survives and enters one of the doors within a limited time, the first stage will be judged to have passed. In particular, the building itself is not a product of Earth Technology, and if damage is caused to it, it will be considered passed. ”

"Do you want to cross the distance of 7.5 kilometers...... Zhao Yu whispered, "This can only be filled with human lives!" ”

"Do we still have so many people to fill in?" Hunter muttered.

Unbeknownst to them, however, the Ahmed notice was not limited to the North American continent, in fact, the entire planet was awakened.

At the San Francisco City Hospital, Yoko Nakamura sat on the hospital bed, looking at the TV that suddenly turned on with a pale face, and all the people in the entire hospital, doctors, nurses, and patients, all stood still as if by magic, silent.

Hawaii, Wang Feng hurriedly checked out and walked out of the bar, took out his mobile phone and wanted to make a call, but found that the voice of the Ahmed was also ringing on the mobile phone, and he couldn't help but scold.

The streets of Tokyo's brightly lit cities are lit up with the same image on all the billboards, and people are looking at this incredible scene.

In Shanghai's Civic Square, people look at the big screen and forget to talk. "Daddy, what does that mean?" A little girl took her father's hand and asked curiously. The father touched his daughter's head, but his eyes stayed on the big screen: "It's going to be a war." ”

People in Moscow stand in the streets, people in Berlin stand in the streets, people in Paris stand in the streets, people in London stand in the streets. No one spoke.

The mercenaries in the African trenches listened to the radio, the guerrillas in the jungles of South America listened to the radio, and all the sounds of fighting stopped.

The whole planet is collectively silent at this moment.

The exception is North America.

"The assessment is limited to 54 hours of Earth time, and the three assessment stages are settled uniformly, in other words, the less time it takes in one stage, the more time remaining in the other stages, and failure to pass the assessment within the time limit is considered a failure...... If the assessment fails, the Earth civilization will be judged as a second-class near-Earth civilization, the development of interstellar navigation technology will be prohibited, and the qualification to leave the Earth-Moon system will be deprived of the restriction period of 420 years of Earth time. ”

Hearing the voice, Dr. Wright sat on the ground distractedly, "Still...... Didn't have time? ”

"It's not a matter of time, Doctor!" Dr. Terez beside him said in a stern voice, "Did you hear that, the defense facilities are based on the technology that North America has put into actual combat!" Do you know what that means? ”

"Meaning...... Meaning......" Dr. Wright's expression contorted, not wanting to say that, "all the weapons we've been working on could be our enemies!" ”

"The assessment will begin in 5 minutes and 11 seconds from Earth time," the Ahmed finally concluded, "Good luck to your civilization." ”

Although the sound was gone, the image of the tower remained on all screens, and it was only possible to switch to the normal channel - but now there were no channels on the planet that could broadcast properly, and all the channel hosts jumped up as if they were on fire, either starting to report on breaking news or preparing for breaking news reports.

"Attention all units, all tasks are aborted, waiting for the next order! Repeat, all units stop the mission......" The command voice from the Allied Army command also sounded quite uneasy, and the driver turned his head to look at Major Chandler: "Sir, we have received a new order. ”

"It's not an order." Major Chandler said coldly, "They just don't know what to order." ”

"Then what are we going to do, sir!"

Chandler raised his head, his gaze becoming more resolute than ever: "What can be done?" The aliens have said all the coordinates of the assessment, why don't you go over and take a look? Inform all units of the convoy that the vehicle will go to the alien test site, and others can choose to follow or stand by and wait for the next instructions. ”

Soon all the vehicles responded.

"RED Team 1 will follow."

"RED Team 2 follows."

"RED Team 3 follows."

"BLU No. 1 follows."

"Sir, I must warn you that this is actually an unofficial mutiny." The driver smiled wryly.

"And what do you think, Sergeant?"

The pilot smiled: "Of course I have to go there to see, I haven't seen real aliens yet!" ”

=======================

"Let's go, Hunter." Zhao Yu jumped into the car, "At least go back to the headquarters first and meet up with the others...... Are you going to drive this car to the test? ”

"Actually, I hate exams the most." Hunter let out a long sigh and got into the car, "Old man, why are you so calm?" ”

"If you're locked in early like me, you'll be calm."

Hunter shook his head, continued to chatter, and was about to start the car when suddenly there was a roar in the distance.

"It's the sound of a chariot starting!" Hunter screamed, "Hide, we're going to hide right away!" At this time, it must be the Union Army coming from this direction! ”

"Hunter, the aliens can't scare you, but the Alliance Army can scare you?" Zhao Yu looked at him helplessly, "And listening to the sound of this engine, it is at least a double-digit chariot...... If you really want to deal with us, I don't think we can run away. ”

Hunter looked at Zhao Yu, who was still sitting in the car, and climbed back with a sigh: "Old man, I hate you, I want you to invite me to a full set of ...... for the Ginza nightclub in Tokyo"

"You understand!"

A moment later, the tank unit of the Union Army rumbled through the street, the vehicle lights swept over the off-road vehicle on the side of the street and the two people in the car, without stopping for the slightest, only Major Chandler glanced at the two people locked and enlarged on the screen, and shrugged his shoulders meaninglessly: "There are really surviving national troops......"

Zhao Yu and Hunter, on the other hand, stared wide-eyed at the BTX in the lead—the damage marks on the outside of an engine were particularly striking and familiar.

A chariot unit under the American Community, a member of the Atlantic Alliance, led by Major Chandler, the hero of the Battle of Denver, became the first Earth army to go to the battlefield in this test.
