1014 Down with Hong Dali!
The humans on Earth had escaped from the Zergs previously. After such a long period of time, the Zergs had become good friends of humans. Many children especially liked to sit and play on the backs of ordinary Zergs that had landed on the ground. No one would have expected that they would have such a short period of peace. Their cities on New Earth were not even completed yet and the second end of the world had come again!
Obviously, the reason Silver Hair Komodo had contacted the people on New Earth was to incite fear. What he was about to do next was to prove that he was telling the truth and that what he said was right. “Five hours later, our fleet will fire a small shot at the dark side of your planet. Yes, I think with the might of our main canons, we should be able to light up your other half of the planet to be as bright a day.
“Of course, to show my sincerity, everything will be broadcasted live. I think when that time comes, everyone will believe that I’m telling the truth.”
At this point in the holographic projection live broadcast, everyone on Earth was silent.
This time, the enemy was unprecedentedly powerful. It was clear that this was different from the time they faced the Zergs.
No matter what, the Zergs were relatively weaker. In that war, the space carrier sent out by humans was huge as well, but it was definitely not as terrifying as the ones here this time. Just a space carrier like the one they had was able to kill hundreds of millions of Zergs with just a few shots from its main canon.
However, this time, the overall military strength of the opponent was strong enough to completely overwhelm New Earth’s military force. How were they to fight a battle like that?
“Anyway,” Zheng Xiaokai said, “everyone should wait and see. In five hours, it will be dark. When that time comes, we will find out if he is telling the truth.”
“Yes!” “Yes!” All his colleagues nodded in unison. Then, they took out the new communicator the Milky Way Alliance had sent them. Faced with such a situation, it was natural for them to want to contact their family and friends as soon as possible.
“Ah, mom, did you see that broadcast too? Eh, yeah, it seems to be real. Don’t cry, don’t worry. Let’s wait for a few hours more and see what happens. Yes, okay, I will go home now.”
“Hello, dear. Yes, I know. Don’t worry, I’ll go back right away. Wait for me.”
“Son, are you in school? School has already closed? Okay, go home now. Be careful on the way back… Forget it, I will pick you up. Wait for me, okay? Don’t cry, don’t cry, I’m coming to pick you up now…”
Conversations like these were happening all over the world. People left their companies, their working posts, and rushed home.
After all, there was a place for them to run to the last time. This time, there was possibly… no escape.
Time passed slowly and the holographic projection image continued broadcasting. At this time, hundreds of huge space carriers had started moving. Their speed was extremely fast as they headed toward space at the dark side of New Earth.
The Sun moved west little by little and gradually set.
There was a single red cloud in the sky. Poignant and charming.
But, in the minds of many was the same thought.
Would they still see the beautiful Sun tomorrow? Or, how many times would they be able to see it?
Nobody knew. People only knew that when the Sun went down, they would find out whether the person in the video was telling the truth or not.
If everything turned out to be true, then, they could only plan for the aftermath. Maybe, there was no need to do any planning—if New Earth was gone, what was there left for them to plan?
Just like that, with everyone feeling immense pressure, five hours passed.
At the same time, the terrifying space carrier fleet had just moved themselves to the dark side of New Earth. From the image on the holographic projection, the space carrier fleet consisting of hundreds of scary-looking space carriers looked just like new members of the galaxy in which New Earth was located.
Everyone on New Earth focused on the image on the holographic projection.
Everyone held their breath.
Parents held their children’s hands, husbands held their wives’ hands, and sons and daughters held their mothers’ hands. They were trembling and breaking out in cold sweat.
The wait was torturous and many psychologically weaker people simply passed out.
Soon, the image of Silver Hair Komodo appeared again—-
“Ah, dear humans on New Earth. The time for my little demonstration has come. Now, I would like everyone to enjoy the following exciting light show.” Saying that, Komodo smiled and then slowly said, “So now, the first round of synchronized firing from our main canon begins!”
It had begun. The experiment which would show the people of New Earth if he was telling the truth had begun.
Soon after, the main canons of the few hundred Fifth-Order Stellar-level space carriers in the holographic projection adjusted to their firing angles. Then, they all lit up in unison!
Those were the main canons of the Fifth-Order Stellar-level space carriers focusing energy.
At this moment, a child pointed out of the window. “Mom, look. There are so many suns in the sky outside!”
These words were echoed by many others around the dark side of New Earth. It was night there and countless people were looking out of their windows to see what was going on.
At this time, the main canons of the space carriers in the holographic projection were focusing energy!
Swoosh—
At the exact same time, the main canons of the 300 Fifth-Order Stellar-level space carriers launched together. The huge yellow energy beam shot directly toward New Earth. The angle of their shot was controlled perfectly. It was just within 10,000 kilometers of New Earth’s orbit.
Three hundred huge beams of energy practically brushed past New Earth.
The space behind New Earth lit up as bright as day.
The space carriers which were parked in space around New Earth, as well as the Zergs which was roaming around in space, were instantly evaporated by the terrifying energy attack. They turned into dust and disappeared into the vast universe.
One shot. All it took was one shot from the main canons to completely destroy all of New Earth’s space carriers. There was nothing the humans on New Earth could do as they witnessed the attack with their own eyes.
Before people could recover from the shock, Komodo’s image appeared again. He smiled slightly as if he were talking about something completely unrelated to what just happened. “Ah, I’m so sorry. In order to achieve the best results for this demonstration, I did not avoid your space carriers. It’s a pity, but they’re all dead now. Well, you can all rest assured that they died quickly. They all completely disintegrated in the blink of an eye, without feeling any pain.
“Of course, this is just a small demonstration. I’m very credible. When I say that it’s a demonstration, it will just be a demonstration. We will definitely not harm any humans on New Earth. But, next time, I’m afraid you won’t be so lucky.”
Now that he had proven his strength and revealed the truth to everyone, what came next would be to tell them what he really wanted from them. “Now that everyone understands that I’m telling the truth, it’s time I tell you about my conditions.
“Hand over Hong Dali. I will only give you 48 hours. After 48 hours, if I still don’t see Hong Dali, I can only say sorry. At that time, the main canons of our fleet will be aiming at this very planet you live on.
“Okay, I’m done talking. So, I’ll be here waiting for good news from everyone. Goodbye, dear Earthlings.”
“Pop.” The holographic projection image shut off.
Thirty seconds after the image disappeared, everyone on New Earth went into a frenzy!
Doomsday. This time, it would really be doomsday! Their space carrier fleet was so strong, one wave of attack would pulverize everything on New Earth, its space carriers, and even the Zergs.
There was no way to win against an enemy like that!
Everyone rushed to the streets. They held signs and shouted slogans. Everyone was focused on one name—Hong Dali!
“Hong Dali! Come out! Hurry up and surrender. Otherwise, all humankind will have to die with you!”
“Take down Hong Dali! We have to send this prodigal who has doomed all humankind to hell!”
“Hong Dali, you have dragged us all down with you. Do you want us all to die with you?! Hurry up and surrender yourself, we want to live!”
“We want to live, we do not want to die! We must hand Hong Dali over. We cannot all die because of him!”
Countless cities, countless streets, countless people. Everyone was marching and demonstrating. The slogans they shouted were unanimous. At this moment, there was only one request from the people, to have Hong Dali surrender himself! As long as they were able to hand over Hong Dali, they might be able to assuage the other party’s anger and save everyone’s lives!
Otherwise, everyone on New Earth would have to die with Hong Dali!
…
New Earth, within New Tianjing City.
“President Hong, there’s trouble! Our building has been completely surrounded by an angry mob!” Sangle Building, which was under construction, had been surrounded by an angry mob. Secretary Liu sweated profusely as he looked at the scene below.
It was terrifying, it was simply terrifying!
Hundreds of thousands of people gathered outside Sangle Building! People were holding flags and shouting slogans. Many physically strong people even brought various tools with them and were smashing the walls of the Sangle Building!
Death, the one thing that human beings feared the most, had made everyone on New Earth crazy!
