“You’re saying these monsters… came from the moon?”
Du Gang could hardly believe it as he looked at the indifferent Lu Zhou beside him.
‘Yes!”
Lu Zhou nodded, “There’s a dark matter tunnel between our Earth and the moon… It currently seems that this tunnel only transfers one way. It can deliver creatures hidden within the moon directly to Earth…”
The reason he informed Du Gang of this intelligence was that Du Gang had earlier noticed a pattern to the Golden Beetle appearances, insinuating he was rather sharp-minded.
Another reason revolved around a conjecture concerning Earth’s tribulations… Currently, the most likely entity on Earth capable of setting up such a thing was the Giants!
Therefore, he wondered if these Giants could be some advanced life forms within the universe and if Du Gang was their heir. The so-called disaster might simply be a trial…
If Du Gang’s power reached a certain level, would the trial end? Would the spatial channels disappear?
Hearing his claim, Du Gang was further convinced that Earth was indeed a testing ground for trials.
Just in time, he ascended from the second rank to the third rank, and a change in the spatial channel happened, summoning a hundred-meter tall dinosaur.
“Let’s go back and keep this information to ourselves for now…” , Lu Zhou insisted before heading for the plane.
Disasters invoked by nature, and calamities orchestrated by advanced civilizations, are two different concepts.
A natural disaster unites humanity. There’s always hope of an end.
But if the disaster is induced by an advanced civilization, that would be utterly desperate. It could potentially cause many to abandon the fight.
Furthermore, if the common folk knew, it would trigger widespread panic. It could even convince some psychologically fragile people to choose a devastating path, causing even greater harm.
“I understand, I will not disclose this to anyone other than the military!”
Du Gang was not a gossip, he would certainly remain discrete about such a matter.
After some time into the flight, Du Gang suddenly asked, “This doesn’t seem to be the route back to Meimu Mountain, right?”
The initial course was due North, but it now headed Southeast.
“The plane’s remaining fuel isn’t sufficient to reach Meimu Mountain. We’ll detour to Dahuang Mountain. There’s a survivor base there to refuel.” Accepting the pilot’s explanation, Du Gang nodded, closed his eyes, and began to meditate.
After a little more than half an hour, the plane landed atop a mountain over a thousand meters high.
This was the Dahuang Mountain base’s airfield.
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
Before the plane steadied, everyone heard explosions from afar.
“Those are the sounds of missiles detonating!” Lu Zhou calmly stated as he disembarked from the plane.
“Who are you?”
The ground staff were puzzled. The Arctic Circle’s plane had just left, and yet another had arrived.
Lu Zhou quickly produced a piece of paper and showed the workers, “We undertook a classified mission up North. We’re out of fuel and need to refuel here!”
“Well…”
The ground crew hesitated, “I’m not authorized to decide that. Please wait downstairs while I consult with my superior!”
Soon, someone escorted them down to the second floor.
Similar to Meimu Mountain, the Divine Mystery Camp was situated on the second floor of the Dahuang Mountain base.
When Du Gang and company entered, most members of the Divine Mystery Camp were present. They hadn’t gone out to combat the dinosaur.
Fortunately, the spatial channel closest to Dahuang Mountain happened to be ten kilometers away.
So, the district’s commanding officer chose not to deploy superhumans. Instead, they deployed the Rocket Army.
The roaring Du Gang and his group heard earlier was the sound of Dahuang Mountain’s Rocket Army attacking the dinosaur.
They didn’t wait long before a chief staff walked in.
“Sorry for the inconvenience, gentlemen. The commander is at the front line. I am here to attend to you…”
Lu Zhou stepped forward and exchanged polite words with the chief.
“May I know what kind of mission did you carry out in the North?” The chief hoped to glean some useful information.
However, Lu Zhou shook his head, “Nothing much. It’s just a scientific hypothesis. If it is useful, following a discussion with the sages, we may relay the information to you next time!”
Seeing that he was unwilling to divulge, the chief did not insist, “Fine, please stay here and wait. I’ll send someone to refuel your plane…” The chief didn’t even ask their names before leaving them once more.
Du Gang’s companions stayed put.
All the superhumans who were stationed in the Divine Mystery Camp immediately stood up and swiftly formed a line.
“We face a severe test from our country and people… Prepare for battle!” All of the Divine Mystery Camp’s members within the venue immediately joined in the chorus.
The military officer nodded, “The commanding officer has ordered the Divine Mystery Camp to proceed to the resolved route and carry out sniping!”
“Everyone ready, move out!!”
The second-floor camp was instantly emptied as every superhuman in the
Divine Mystery Camp rushed out.
Lu Zhou and Du Gang exchanged looks but neither said a word.
After waiting for about ten minutes, the plane was finally refueled, and everyone again boarded.
“Do they… stand a chance?” Du Gang nonchalantly asked just as he boarded the plane.
Lu Zhou sternly replied, “It could be difficult. This kind of dinosaur – is already an entity ranked at the pinnacle of the Yellow Grade. Currently, in our country, the strongest Yellow Grade superhuman is only present among the four military districts on the frontier. No other bases have them…”
Only the four military districts on the frontiers have the geographical space to employ nuclear weapons without causing destructive side effects. They are therefore the only ones who have hunted Egg-laying Mother Beetles and obtained Yellow Crystals.
For the same reason, they are the only districts with Yellow Grade superhumans, but the numbers are small. Even the Arctic Circle, despite wishing to study a Yellow Crystal, hasn’t been able to obtain even a single one.
Hearing the explosions roaring outside, Du Gang suddenly said to the pilot at the front, “Master, make a turn and detour over the battlefield!”
He had decided to intervene. The dinosaur might be deadly to others, but it didn’t pose much difficulty to him!
The pilot was stunned at first but soon caught Lu Zhou’s hint. Understanding that “Master” referred to him, he promptly changed course.
If it weren’t for having seen Du Gang easily slay a dinosaur at the Astronomical Museum earlier, he might have wanted to swear.
He was a pilot groomed from scratch whose training cost amounted to tens of millions. And yet in Du Gang’s eyes, he was merely a “Master.”
Seeing Du Gang voluntarily offering help, the others sighed in relief.
After all, wearing the same uniform meant they were comrades. They didn’t wish to see their comrades sacrificed out there. But if Du Gang didn’t speak up, neither could they.
Thankfully!
