The Ultimate War Of The Apocalypse
Chapter 441 - 434 Paradox

Chapter 441: Chapter 434 Paradox

The Sanitation Worker group, without a doubt, were humanity’s pigs as teammates.

Harry Keane looked towards Gao Yuan in desperation, and Gao Yuan, without much thought, immediately said, "Recall all drones, we prepare to retreat."

"Retreat to where?"

Gao Yuan spread his hands and said, "I don’t know, but at least to leave this place. If we wait for the aliens’ ships to arrive, then thinking about retreating would be... Wait! Wait a minute! This isn’t right!"

Gao Yuan turned around and grabbed Klaus’s arm, then he exclaimed loudly, "These are airplanes, and airplanes need airports and runways, right?"

Klaus looked at Gao Yuan and said, "Yes, without a doubt, the Sanitation Workers’ airport is in Malakal, where there was already an airport that could easily handle the takeoff and landing of small planes like the Super Gobsmacking Bird."

"Then why haven’t the aliens shot them down right as the planes took off!"

Gao Yuan continued to hold onto Klaus’s arm, his face filled with urgency as he said, "The planes have to fly a long way to get here, and the aliens won’t wait until those planes start dropping bombs before they’re willing to shoot them down, they would directly take them down right after takeoff."

Klaus’s eyes suddenly widened, and then he said with a quivering voice, "Yes, why? Why! Why wouldn’t the Sanitation Workers’ planes get shot down? Could it be that the Sanitation Workers... are in cahoots with the aliens?"

This was the most obvious conclusion. Klaus looked at the planes circling in the sky above and said with a quivering voice, "Could it be that the Sanitation Workers are traitors to humanity!"

Gao Yuan looked towards Xinghe and exclaimed, "What’s going on here!"

Xinghe’s face was also grave; she looked at the airplanes in the sky, ignoring Gao Yuan’s question.

Gao Yuan rushed to Xinghe’s side and said anxiously, "Can you or can you not tell me what’s going on, why their planes are not being attacked?"

Xinghe took a deep breath, lowered her head, thought for a moment, and finally said dejectedly, "I don’t know..."

Ralph shouted, "The Sanitation Workers must have colluded with the aliens, they must have!"

Gao Yuan turned to Ralph and shouted equally loudly, "Then why don’t the aliens just wipe out the Solar System Company’s people directly? If the Sanitation Workers had teamed up with the aliens, this war wouldn’t have happened."

Yes, Gao Yuan had the most dealings with the aliens, so he could think of the key to the problem the fastest.

If the Sanitation Workers had colluded with the aliens, then the Sanitation Workers just need to let the aliens erase the Solar System Company’s people, and there would be no need for them to take the field themselves.

So, this problem is like a paradox, tying itself into a dead knot.

If the Sanitation Workers knew using airplanes would attract the attention of the aliens, then they wouldn’t use them because they certainly hadn’t reached a point of no return where they were willing to perish along with the Solar System Company by borrowing the hands of the aliens. This logic was so simple that there was no need to guess.

Therefore, since the Sanitation Workers used airplanes, they weren’t afraid of attracting the aliens, but then, saying they weren’t in collusion with the aliens would be a reasonable explanation.

Then comes the paradox, if the Sanitation Workers were in cahoots with the aliens, given the aliens’ capabilities, they could certainly easily wipe out the entire Solar System Company.

The planes were still circling overhead, but they had stopped firing. Smoke billowed on the ground as the fight drew to a close.

Xinghe’s brows finally relaxed, and then she let out a sigh of relief and said, "I understand now."

Everyone nearby looked at Xinghe, and she pointed at the planes above, a look of resignation on her face as she said, "They’ve found the right way to use planes, flying at ultra-low altitudes, engaging in ultra-low altitude warfare, so indeed they might not be... detected."

Klaus looked skeptical and said, "But, but, we’ve tried ultra-low altitude flying before, and it just didn’t work. As soon as a helicopter took off, even flying at ground-skimming altitudes, it would certainly attract the aliens’ ships and get shot down."

Xinghe whispered, "If I’m not miscalculating, all the aliens’ ships should have been concentrated together right now. According to Earth’s curvature, if the aliens’ ships strayed from this continent, then as long as the flight altitude is low enough, flying is indeed possible. What wasn’t possible before doesn’t mean it isn’t possible now."

Gao Yuan said urgently, "That’s to say, the aliens first came here to disperse the virus, then they left, concentrating their strength to deal with humanity’s most important and powerful countries or rather the main human settlements, and this place has become a vacuum of alien strength."

Xinghe nodded her head and then said softly, "But there’s a premise, the altitude can’t be too high. According to... the speed of the aliens’ ships, they can circle around Earth in twelve minutes, so if they discover these planes, then these planes couldn’t possibly have survived until now. Come to think of it, this is the first time I’ve seen Earth’s manned aircraft."

Klaus let out a sigh and said, "So that means, using planes, the Sanitation Workers won’t attract the aliens, at least not for the time being."

Xinghe said softly, "I don’t know, I’m just speculating, but I must remind you of one thing, if any flying object exceeds an altitude of six thousand meters, it will definitely be observed by the aliens, this is... my calculation."

Xinghe looked at Gao Yuan, so Gao Yuan knew Xinghe hadn’t told them everything, she was hiding something.

Ralph also breathed a sigh of relief and then said in a low voice, "How can the Sanitation Workers be sure that using planes won’t attract the aliens, it’s too risky."

Klaus snorted and said, "Do you think the Sanitation Workers are afraid of taking risks? They’ve never been afraid to take risks."

Xinghe suddenly said, "Of course, there might be another possibility, the aliens have discovered these planes, but they have more important matters to attend to and thus don’t have the time to deal with these few planes, or they don’t want to, that’s all."

Klaus said, puzzled, "Aren’t the aliens here to kill all humans? What else could be more important than that?"

Gao Yuan swallowed hard and said in a low voice, "For instance, focusing their forces to attack Shenzhou..."

He shook his head as if trying to shake the terrifying thought out of his mind.

Xinghe looked at the sky and said, "A very simple experiment would reveal whether the aliens haven’t discovered it or are just too lazy to deal with it. Just let the planes climb above six thousand meters, and no matter where the aliens are on Earth, they would be detected."

Gao Yuan hastened to say, "Let’s skip the test for now. For now, we’ll just assume the Sanitation Workers’ planes haven’t been detected. Everyone, the enemy will be upon us soon, and the aliens haven’t arrived yet, so think about what to do next."

Klaus massaged his forehead, then he sighed and said, "My mind’s a mess right now, I’m very sorry, but I can’t come up with a reasonable answer."

Ralph spoke with a look of resignation, "It seems unrealistic to expect reinforcements to arrive in the short term. We should... retreat, after all. No matter what, let’s first avoid being completely wiped out by the enemy, then we can consider other things afterward."
