Chapter 478: Chapter 471: Solve with a Knife

"We can’t retreat!"

While Gao Yang argued for retreat, Gao Yuan was adamant that they could not.

Gao Yuan then replaced the iron watermelon he had picked up into the cabinet, closed the door, and said urgently, "We can’t retreat now."

"Why?"

Gao Yang didn’t understand and, quite shocked, said, "The balloon has been released, and it hasn’t been shot down. Whether the Aliens come or not, and whether they attack after they arrive, it doesn’t prevent us from evacuating. Wouldn’t it be better to observe from a distance?"

Though the point seemed logical, many things were not so simple.

Gao Yuan, just as urgent, said quickly, "Put all the electronic equipment, along with the walkie-talkies, inside these iron cabinets, or you’ll lose radio communication. Hurry, hurry up!"

Gao Yuan tossed the night-vision goggles and walkie-talkies into the open iron cabinet and then urged aloud, "What are you waiting for? Hurry up!"

Gao Yang was indeed a bit stunned, and Gao Yuan urged again, "Can you just listen to me? From Shenzhou to here, do you really think we’ve just been sightseeing? Get everyone here right now, fast!"

"Everyone, get into the tower now, communication will be temporarily disrupted, turn off your walkie-talkies, hurry, hurry, hurry!"

Gao Yang started shouting into the walkie-talkie, then he removed his headphones, took off his walkie-talkie, and put these things into the iron cabinet as well.

"Is the rifle’s thermal imaging shielded from electromagnetic interference? Put the scope in too, no, put the whole gun in."

Gao Yang immediately stuffed the entire rifle into the iron cabinet.

Seeing the iron cabinets were becoming too full to accommodate much more, Gao Yuan moved to one of them, forcefully emptied the equipment inside out, and then urged aloud, "Hurry up, faster!"

Gao Yang spread his hands and said, "There’s still over ten minutes to..."

Gao Yuan shook his head and replied, "No, there might be, or there might not be."

"We can’t retreat!"

This time the speaker was Xinghe. She pointed to the activated Revelation with a grave expression and said, "The Serpent People’s spaceship has already arrived."

Gao Yuan’s worries were confirmed, and after a momentary pause, Gao Yang said urgently, "How could they be so fast? The balloon hasn’t even reached altitude yet."

"Last time, it was the balloon reaching an altitude of six kilometers that drew the Serpent People, because six kilometers is a significant height. How should I explain this to you? The air at six kilometers is very thin. Though it’s not a vacuum, the Serpent People’s spaceships can start the high-speed flight initiation stage at this altitude. So, if an object is detected at six kilometer altitude, the Serpent People have to check and confirm if there’s a threat."

Xinghe pointed her hand toward the iron cabinet that Gao Yuan had just closed and said, "Before this, the Sanitation Worker had communication with the Serpent People. They connected through this device, just like we can detect this signal source, the Serpent People can too. They knew this place was friendly territory. But now that system is down, and the Serpent People have noticed the system’s failure, so they came immediately."

Gao Yang sighed softly and said, "Understood. With the friend-or-foe identification system down, it’s always necessary to check."

Gao Yuan added from the side, "We can’t even get helicopters off the ground; even though it’s low-altitude flight, if it’s big enough, the Serpent People will surely come to destroy it. But now, without friend-or-foe identification, we have a low-altitude flying target, the Serpent People will definitely come."

Gao Yang immediately turned around. He saw the support team still outside and shouted urgently, "Hurry, hurry, hurry..."

The atmosphere suddenly became heavy and tense, and then, at that moment, Fly pulled on Gao Yang’s sleeve with a horrified face, pointing to the sky.

Gao Yang turned around and said, "What’s wrong?"

Fly didn’t speak; he just pointed at the sky. Gao Yang followed Fly’s finger and then suddenly widened his eyes, holding his breath.

A Serpent People’s spaceship quietly floated in the air.

The Revelation detected a signal, but the spaceship visible to the naked eye, different from one that’s merely a symbol, felt quite different to behold.

The spaceship had suddenly appeared in the sky and was positioned horizontally in front of the airport control tower, giving Gao Yang a clear view.

"So huge..."

Gao Yang couldn’t help but whisper, deeply shocked by his first sight of the spaceship.

"You haven’t seen the Serpent People’s mothership; that is truly... Ah!"

There was no light, no sound, but suddenly electric arcs appeared between several metal cabinets in the control tower, crackling loudly. Gao Yuan who was near the cabinets got shocked, and it hurt quite a bit.

No light, no sound, the Serpent People’s spaceship just floated there, yet Gao Yuan knew the attack had already begun.

The first round of the standard routine, Electromagnetic Attack.

Gao Yang continued to stare blankly at the spaceship in the sky. The view from the tower was excellent; he needed only to stand there to take in the full view of the Serpent People’s spaceship.

But ’admire’ didn’t seem to be quite the right word.

Gao Yuan exhaled softly and said, "Next step, release the monsters."

After speaking, Gao Yuan suddenly remembered something. He quickly grabbed Gao Yang and urgently said, "Don’t shoot! I’ve told you before, alien monsters are extremely sensitive to sound. Whether it’s zombies or other creatures, the vast majority are extremely sensitive to sound; you must not shoot recklessly!"

Gao Yang was startled again, then nodded and said, "I remember, but if we can’t shoot..."

Gao Yuan extended his right hand and slowly drew his long knife, speaking softly, "Use this. In Shenzhou, all the forces have been equipped with these."

Gao Yang’s expression was somewhat vacant, and at that moment, the Serpent People’s spaceship finally opened, and one by one, dark figures began to fall from the ship.

"I don’t know what kind of monsters will come this time."

After murmuring to himself, Gao Yuan took a deep breath and said, "It’s just as I thought. The Serpent People wouldn’t bother trying to understand what’s happening. They would launch an indiscriminate attack immediately."

Gao Yang, puzzled, said, "I understand the logic, but given the Serpent People’s level of technology, distinguishing friend from foe shouldn’t be difficult, right?"

"In terms of technology, of course, there’s no difficulty. It’s an attitude problem. Would the Serpent People care if those below are allies or enemies? No, these things are meaningless to the Serpent People. Regardless of whatever agreement the Serpent People and the Sanitation Worker have reached, just remember one thing - we are all humans the Serpent People intend to exterminate."

There was noise from below; the support team had already rushed into the tower, and the monsters released by the Serpent People were only three kilometers away from the tower since the Serpent People had dropped all the creatures into the factories and residential areas.

Thankfully no monsters had fallen directly on them, and Gao Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. Then he spoke in a low voice, "Tell the people from the support group that from now on, do not make sounds carelessly. If monsters approach, do not shoot. I’ll handle it! Use knives to deal with them!"
