Chapter 10: Libra
Zheng Zhe flew to the moon.
Although in the original plot of Red Alert II, the technology of the Soviets and Yuri did reach the level where they could build a base on the surface of the moon in a harsh environment, and even allow tanks and other heavy equipment to move freely on the lunar surface, they did not seem to point the technology tree to the aspect of space warfare...... Therefore, during Zheng Zhe's journey from Earth to the Moon, he did not encounter any substantial Yuri army.
- Of course, this does not mean that Zheng Zhe's journey is completely smooth.
As Zheng Zhe, who had no spiritual power shield, began to unswervingly advance towards the moon, the enemy launched a series of spiritual power attacks on him. Hallucinations, mind control, psychic attacks...... The other party tried countless methods, and even tried to use spiritual power to attract all kinds of garbage in space, trying to block Zheng Zha's travel route, and this powerful spiritual power from the moon was like a huge net, locking Zheng Zha's pervasiveness.
However, Zheng Zhe's body is as tough as steel, whether it is space junk or meteorites, or all kinds of radiation and cosmic rays in the universe, they will only be ruthlessly smashed or ignored by him; Second, the current Zheng Zhe can be described as full of anger, and he only wants to go to the moon to complete the mission...... By the way, Yuri's so-called 'final weapon', along with Yuri himself, punched into two small pies.
After discovering that all the interference and attacks, even the most skilled mind control techniques, had not worked, the owner of this mental force finally realized that he needed to change his strategy. Therefore, the other party gave up this ineffective harassment and no longer wasted energy on useless small actions.
As a result, the other party began to regroup its strength, withdrawing its previous attempt to break through Zhan Lan's spiritual power shield, reintegrating all its attention and resources, and preparing for the upcoming direct confrontation...... A big battle that could break out on the moon.
And this is just as Yang Yun said before, and it is also as Zheng Zha's wish.
Keeping Yuri's high-end forces on the moon is key to ensuring that the rest of the Middle-earth team travels safely to the South Pole. If Yuri's main force is attracted to Jung-chan and fixed to the moon, then the members of the Middle-earth team on Earth will be able to reduce the risk of encountering a strong enemy and thus carry out their mission more safely.
……
The distance between the earth and the moon is about 380,000 kilometers, but with Zheng Zhe's current strength, breaking through the atmosphere with his physical body, breaking away from the shackles of the earth's gravity, and flying to the moon is something that can be done just by turning his palm.
- Now, the man has arrived.
With a crisp "stab", as if the sound of tearing the cloth with his bare hands, under Zheng Zha's pull and tear, the crack generator barrier on the periphery of the moon to obscure the field of vision was easily torn open by him like a thin veil.
There is no need for a declaration to prove his arrival, Zheng Zhe just stands there, and he will unconsciously attract the attention of others, as if wherever he goes, he is the center of the whole stage, and this man's sense of presence is so strong.
"I've reached the moon."
After reporting to everyone in the team in the psychic link, Zheng Zha was suspended in the lunar orbit with thin air that had been initially transformed by Yuri, and looked at the closest satellite to the earth with the naked eye.
Getting so close that Zheng Zhe was finally able to get a closer look at Yuri's secret base on this lonely planet. His gaze pierced through the obscure, and the first thing that caught his eye was the biochemical reactor and nuclear reactor that provide energy to the base, the existence of these facilities indicates that Yuri has a huge energy demand here...... And the second glance made his brow furrow.
Zheng Zha's eyes were attracted by the densely arranged buildings, which were like a little starlight in the night sky, surrounding a huge building that was incomparably tall, tens of thousands of meters high.
- Tower of Babel.
The moment he saw this building, a name naturally appeared in Zheng Zhe's heart, which seemed to spring up naturally from a deep memory, and as if he had heard such a name at a certain time and somewhere.
The Tower of Babel is supported by a series of thick pedestals from the base, which gradually become slender as it increases in height until the top reveals a massive cubic octahedral structure. Stretching outward from the center of the polyhedron, eight massive pillars rotate slowly like pillars of heaven, as if performing some ancient mystical ritual.
Although in form, this huge building is closer to some kind of ritual prop, its scale and majesty are particularly striking on the surface of the moon's craters, as if it really has the ability to support the connection between heaven and earth, making the name "Tower of Babel" very apt...... And the huge spiritual power fluctuations that surrounded it, which made Zheng Zhe feel quite frightened, together formed an invisible force field shield.
However, at the moment when Zheng Zha was distracted to pay attention to the Tower of Babel in front of him, countless blue-purple spiritual energy turned into a rain of arrows and suddenly appeared from the void, instantly enveloping the space where Zheng Zha was!
"Boom!"
The sound couldn't keep up with the speed of the energy explosion, and a series of blue spiritual energy illuminated the dim cosmic space, blooming one brilliant spark after another in the void.
Judging by the energy readings, this powerful attack is enough to compare to the explosion of a nuclear bomb, but—
"I was expected to be greeted by Yuri himself, or a salvo from some new weapon."
Under the burst of blue spiritual energy, Zheng Zha slowly walked out of the void, he didn't even have the slightest wrinkle in his clothes, and his gaze was firmly locked on the enemy who attacked him, and the invisible vibration turned into a language that could be understood by others, and was transmitted in this cosmic space: "So, you are the reincarnation of the Arctic Continent team?" Or Yuri's final hole card? ”
Zheng Zhe's question is completely understandable, because the woman in front of him is a character who never appeared in the original plot of "Red Alert II". She looked young, about twenty years old, and her long silver-white hair contrasted sharply with her bright red pupils, giving her a mysterious and elusive feeling.
The girl is dressed in a light outfit that resembles pajamas, with a one-piece hat and even two small horn-like bumps on the top of her head, adding a bit of playfulness to the atmosphere. Despite the expanse of space around her, she boldly showed two long straight legs, with a steel tail-like connection behind her back; This kind of dress is not much different from those female college students who leisurely shuttle around the campus on the earth, as if she has crossed over from some corner of the earth, with a hint of anachronistic daily life and ease.
But the expression on her face revealed naked malice and bloodlust, and there was even a slight sickly blush on her cheeks.
"What is Team Arctic Continent? Libra doesn't know that kind of thing...... The name of Libra is Libra. ”
Facing Zheng Zhe's question, the girl also replied with spiritual power into a message, she licked her lips lightly, a bloodthirsty smile appeared on her face, and behind her, a dazzling spiritual light lit up.
"Don't worry, Libra won't hurt you...... Too heavy. ”
Countless blue balls of light shrouded this space again. (End of chapter)
