Chapter 723: Counterattack

The strange creature seemed very happy: "Great! Then... can our expedition team set off immediately?"

Li Yang nodded: "Of course, we have prepared a reception place for you."

"But before that, we hope to see the technology you mentioned to resist [epidemic]."

"After all... we also need to ensure that you really have conditions worthy of our cooperation."

The strange creature hesitated for a moment and slowly spoke:

"Of course you can."

"But I'm afraid we need to wait until our expedition team arrives before we can show it."

Li Yang pretended to understand: "Oh... So, I understand."

"Then how long will it take for your expedition team to arrive?"

"If we set off now, it will take about twelve blue stars," the strange creature replied, "We will get there as quickly as possible."

Li Yang nodded in agreement: "Okay, we will We will welcome you in twelve hours. "

After the holographic projection disappeared, Li Yang immediately turned to his companions: "Everyone, the next period of time is crucial. "

"We must be fully prepared to deal with any possible situation. "

Jiang Xiaoxiao asked: "Do you think they will really come? Or is this just a cover?"

Li Yang pondered for a moment and replied: "Since we are only one step away from the final goal, we naturally don't need to worry at this time. "

"Although it may not be in the way we expected..."

Bai Zhi added: "The technical team is ready to monitor the surrounding space around the clock. "

"If there is any abnormality, we will be notified immediately. "

Li Yang nodded in approval: "Very good. Now, let's take our positions and wait for their arrival. "

In the next period of time, many people waited nervously, not knowing what would happen next.

And just one hour before the agreed time, the alarm suddenly sounded.

"What happened?" Li Yang asked immediately.

Bai Zhi quickly checked the monitoring data and her face suddenly turned pale: "Li Yang, you have to look at this..."

She called up a holographic image showing the space around the blue planet.

In the image, hundreds of blue spheres similar to the previous ones are approaching the blue planet.

"This..." Jiang Xiaoxiao took a breath, "This is not an expedition team, it's a whole fleet!"

Li Yang's expression became extremely serious: "It seems that our worries have come true... They have no good intentions from the beginning."

Just then, the communication system suddenly sounded, it was the voice of the strange creature: "Dear friends of Blue Star, I'm sorry that we arrived a little early... I hope this won't cause you too much trouble."

Li Yang replied coldly: "This is what you call a small expedition team? Do we have a different understanding of the so-called "small"?"

The strange creature laughed:

"Smart creatures, you are much more vigilant than we thought."

"Forget it, it's too late now."

"The right to choose is given to you, whether to surrender or to be destroyed, you choose it yourself!"

"Why?" Li Yang asked, although he already had the answer in his heart.

"Because you have everything we need!" the strange creature replied, "Our civilization is declining, and we need new resources to bring hope."

"And you happen to have everything we need."

Li Yang sneered: "So those words about [Epidemic] are all lies?"

"Not entirely..." the strange creature said, "[Epidemic] does exist, but... we have only tentatively contacted it."

"But whether [Epidemic] exists or not, what does it have to do with us?"

"Even if there is no [Epidemic], we are just struggling to survive."

Li Yang took a deep breath, and then said firmly: "In this case... then there is no need for us to be polite."

"Heh... What a stubborn declaration." The strange creature sneered, "But do you really think that you can resist us with your primitive technology?"

Li Yang showed a mysterious smile: "Who said we only have primitive technology?"

As soon as the voice fell, a huge rainbow-colored barrier suddenly appeared around the blue star, blocking all the blue spheres out.

The strange creature asked in surprise: "What...what's going on?"

Li Yang said proudly: "We're all going to die anyway, so there's no need for you to know so much."

After that, Li Yang raised his head slightly and nodded slightly to a certain place in the sky.

Suddenly, many silver-white beams burst out from the surface of the blue planet, accurately hitting each blue sphere.

After a violent explosion, the huge fleet turned into a gorgeous sea of ​​fire in space.

The strange creature shouted in disbelief: "Impossible! How can you have such power?"

"Yeah...how could it be?" Li Yang's voice became playful, "If you want to know, then come down and communicate well."

There was a silence in the communication, and then the strange creature's unwilling voice: "You will regret it...one day, we will make a comeback..."

As soon as the voice fell, the remaining few surviving spheres were also pierced together.

The communication was disconnected, and the angry voice of that thing disappeared.

Li Yang breathed a long sigh of relief, but the expression on his face was not much relaxed: "But I still don't know...where these things come from."

"It stands to reason that there are not many civilizations left that can travel across space at will."

Bai Zhi asked curiously: "You mean, there will be other threats?"

Li Yang nodded: "The universe is so vast that it contains many wonders."

"Even this thing is a little beyond my expectations. Who knows what else I will encounter in the future?"

"Then what should we do?" Jiang Xiaoxiao asked.

Li Yang's eyes flashed with determination: "Don't worry too much."

"Although our technological level may still be a little behind, we still have quite a lot of external resources."

"Right now...the [epidemic] problem has not been resolved yet, and this similar threat has appeared again."

"Maybe there are many situations in this world that even I don't know about..."

"If you want to find out, the best way is to find the [origin] and ask clearly."

"If you don't even know it, that's the real trouble."

Jiang Xiaoxiao and Bai Zhi nodded solemnly, with a hint of worry in their hearts.

As night falls, the sky is dotted with stars.

People in the base began to celebrate their victory, but Li Yang knew that the real challenge had just begun.

Standing on the observation platform, looking at the vast starry sky, Li Yang murmured something vague to himself.

In the distance, a shooting star streaked across the night sky, as if cheering for this easy victory.

On this night, many people on Blue Star were celebrating.

But they don't know that in the depths of the distant universe, more eyes are turning to this blue planet, some are full of curiosity, and some have hidden ambitions...
