Chapter 571: Chapter 564: The Trump Card

Xinghe could be considered a typical representative of heartlessness; except for eating and Gao Yuan, she seemed unable to take an interest in anything. From this perspective, she lacked the essential quality of an explorer: a strong sense of curiosity.

Capable of eating and sleeping, Xinghe was rapidly becoming plump, though she was never concerned about her weight like a normal girl would be.

Xinghe could go without sleep for days, but once she lay down, it was not easy to wake her.

But today, Xinghe had fallen asleep, and she was sleeping soundly when suddenly she opened her eyes and looked at the ceiling.

After staring silently at the ceiling in the dark for a moment, Xinghe sat up. She thought for a while, then threw off the blankets, placed her bare feet on the floor, and pulled Revelation from the bag under her bed before heading for the door.

She opened the door to her bedroom, and wearing her silk pajamas, with bare feet, she walked down from the second floor and headed straight for the front door.

When Xinghe grabbed the doorknob, she suddenly stopped again. Then she turned back, walked a few steps, knocked on a door, and walked straight in.

In the dark, Ashraf flipped off the bed, knelt on the carpet, hugged his Mosin-Nagant, and shouted loudly, "Who is it!"

Xinghe reached out and turned on the light switch. She then saw the gun pointed at her, but Xinghe’s expression remained indifferent as she said, "Come with me."

Ashraf let out a sigh of relief, stood up, and said in a low voice, "Don’t burst into my room like that next time, I’m easily startled."

After saying this, Ashraf suddenly realized something and exclaimed in surprise, "You can speak my language now?"

Xinghe continued indifferently, "I knocked on the door. Learning your language was not difficult. Also, I knocked. Now come with me."

Xinghe turned and continued walking out. Ashraf didn’t need to prepare; he immediately stepped into his slippers and followed her.

Xinghe opened the front door, then she said to the sentinel outside, "I want to see Ram, immediately."

The sentinel looked into the shadows, but he quickly responded to Xinghe, "I’m sorry, but you can’t go out right now."

Hearing the sentinel’s answer, Xinghe frowned slightly, then she started to step outside. Once her feet were on the stone pavement, she shouted, "Have Ram come to me, or take me to him, quickly."

Satan Town was undergoing some sort of change; areas that were once lit were rapidly descending into darkness, and places that had been pitch-black suddenly lit up with faint lights.

More and more people were running out from their resting or hiding places.

There was only one sentinel, but how many were secretly protecting the safety of Gao Yuan and Xinghe was unknown, so although the sentinel still stood by Xinghe, Ram had already been informed.

Then, Ram arrived in a vehicle from the command center, leading a formidable convoy that came to a halt in front of Xinghe. He addressed her from the car window, "What do you want?"

Xinghe, still calm, responded to Ram, "Gao Yuan is in danger. What has happened?"

Ram was taken aback for a moment, then he asked in astonishment, "How did you know?"

"Answer me first."

"I don’t know what Gao Yuan’s situation is; we have been subject to electromagnetic interference, and now communication has been completely disrupted. We have lost contact with Gao Yuan, and I’m also waiting for news from the front-line troops. We have entered a state of emergency, go back first, and I will have someone notify you as soon as there is any news."

Ram spoke very urgently, but Xinghe remained unhurried and said, "What about your phones, landlines? Though they’re outdated, aren’t they stable and still usable?"

Ram said urgently, "This can be used, but the front-line troops need time to figure out what happened. As for Gao Yuan’s situation, I’m unable to confirm it now."

Just then, a motorcycle sped over and stopped beside Gao Yuan, and a soldier said anxiously, "Report, we’ve received news from the front, they’ve experienced electromagnetic interference, and there’s suspected air strike."

Ram was startled, then he raised his voice and asked, "Are you certain it’s an air strike?"

"Suspected air strike. That’s what command says, sir!"

Ram quickly went from astonishment to panic and fear, then blurted out, "Damn, I’ve made a big mistake!"

Xinghe raised an eyebrow and asked, "What mistake have you made?"

Ram took a deep breath and said, "Get in the car; we’re heading to the command center."

The convoy that had just left the command center turned around and went back. After getting out of the car, Ram dashed toward the command center and ran into a messenger who had just come out.

Even though it was right outside the command center, the messenger’s task was to find Ram and tell him what had happened, so the messenger whispered urgently, "Sir, we received a call from the front, enemy air strike confirmed, enemy has used electronic warfare aircraft for interference, sir."

Under the frequent electromagnetic pulses launched by the Serpent People, besides the radio, Ram’s communication system included landlines and, as a last resort, messengers, which often proved to be the most reliable means of communication.

Ram nodded then rushed into the command center and immediately shouted, "Get the air defense troops to enter first-level combat readiness now!"

The officers in the command center didn’t need Ram’s reminders or commands to think of ordering the air defense troops, so immediately someone said, "Orders have been issued, radars on, fire immediately upon target detection!"

"Get Wang Buliuxing here immediately."

"Someone’s already been sent to get him, he’ll be here soon."

Two orders turned out to be after-the-fact, but Ram continued urgently, "Order the Trump Card Troops to enter first-level combat readiness."

Finally, this command made the bustling command center pause for a moment, then a staff officer said subconsciously, "Isn’t that an overreaction? Using nuclear weapons will attract a great deal of alien attention to this location."

Aleborg, Ram’s father-in-law, Ailin’s father, and the Chief of Staff for the Solar System Company, spoke sharply, "Order the Trump Card Troops to enter first-level combat readiness, prepare for missile launch!"

The command center became noisy once again, and Aleborg continued sharply, "It’s quite clear now, the fact that the Sanitation Workers can attack us using planes and deploy electronic countermeasures means the aliens have already paid enough attention to us!"

Ram sighed, then asked urgently again, "What about Nemesis, any news?"

Aleborg shook his head and said solemnly, "No news. Listen, you need to do your job now, prepare for evacuating the base, this time...it might just be the final battle."

Suddenly Xinghe said, "Don’t be too pessimistic. This place won’t have too big of a problem, at least not now. The worst that can happen this time is Gao Yuan dying, hmm, in a way, he’s already dead."
