Chapter 470: I’ll make you fly if you’re so arrogant!
Inside the base, everyone looked at the video of the base being reduced to ruins by a beam of light, and they all fell into deep thought.
"The North American Poseidon Base was destroyed by an underground attack. This has told us all that the crisis is approaching!
But so far, we still haven't been able to find out who the murderer is!"
The video ended, and Hijikata Shigeru angrily slammed the table and said.
At this point, the top leaders are already furious. If no solution is found, the Earth will really be in crisis.
Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he couldn't help but murmur, "It's really strange. Why did the power that destroyed the Poseidon base burst out from the ground when it was destroyed?"
Yoshinaga Yukari, standing nearby, offered a plausible explanation: "The Poseidon base's primary mission is to survey the Earth's crust. Our Titan base was also destroyed by the tower that emerged from the ground. Therefore, it seems our enemy is coming from underground."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked at each other in surprise.
Combining Sean's guess with Professor Yoshinaga's guess has completely confirmed that their enemies are creatures from the native Earth!
Although this was already confirmed, Yoshinaga Yukari added, "By the way, the metal part of that automatic mechanism is made of element 119, which only exists eight thousand meters underground."
Sean, standing by, took a deep breath, frowned, and murmured, "I can't believe there's a civilization other than humans inside the Earth..."
It seems this is a conflict from within the Earth, not from extraterrestrial civilizations.”
If the invasion comes from aliens, then the people on Earth are fully capable of using all their strength to deal with it.
But if we are facing an intelligent civilization that also comes from Earth, then the war will be very complicated.
Those who are not of our race must have different hearts, but the premise is that the strength of our own civilization must be far stronger than that of the other party.
But from the current situation, the strength and technological level of the underground people are already several times higher than that of humans!
If they really get serious, the underground people might even completely destroy human civilization overnight!
Yoshinaga Yukari, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but frown, then hurriedly shouted to Ellie, "Ellie, pull up the latest report on the crust."
Hearing this, Ellie nodded and then started operating the computer.
After a while, a drawing of a special crustal layer was projected onto the big screen.
"Above the core of the Earth's crust is the mantle, which is convecting. Above that is the crust we live in. The thickest part of the crust is only 30,000 miles.
The Poseidon Base studies the Earth's crust by digging deep underground, similar to the working principle of the former Russian Kola Superdeep Borehole.
"Hmm..." Yoshinaga Yukari nodded, then said to the crowd, "At the Moho interface where the crust and mantle meet, there seems to be a space we don't understand."
Once upon a time, the existence of underground people has always been a legendary hypothesis.
But now it seems that the so-called underground people really exist inside the earth.
The vastness of the earth is unquestionable. The former Russian drilling mission took twenty years, and in the end only drilled 12262 meters (12262).
Even at such a deep distance, it has never been able to break through the eggshell of the earth's crust.
Hijikata Shigeru crossed his arms across his chest, his expression gradually becoming serious.
Then he said to Ellie, "Ellie, load DASH-3 onto the DASH airborne carrier and install the drilling equipment!"
"Hi!" Ellie nodded and started to operate immediately.
Commander Kenzo Tomioka was puzzled by Hijikata Shigeru's behavior, so he asked, "Captain, why are you mobilizing so many troops?"
Facing his superior's inquiry, Hijikata Shigeru immediately stood up straight and replied, "Um... I want to negotiate with the Delos civilization to find out why they, who never interfere with the ground, would start attacking us.
We must first investigate the other party's true intentions."
As he said this, he looked at Kaito and Mizuki who were sitting below him and said, "You two will drive the DASH-3 to where the Delos civilization is."
Then he directed his order to Mu Ting and Xien, "Xien and Mu Ting, the two of you use the DASH aerial mobile carrier to transport Number Three."
"Understood!" In an instant, everyone stood up and responded.
After putting on their combat command helmets, they headed to the driving area one by one.
At noon, Lin Luo and Vera appeared on an empty beach.
At the same time, there was another person following him.
"Your Highness, please come back with me." A man in a white robe knelt on one knee on the ground, lowered his head and persuaded Vera.
This time when he came to the ground, his mission was very heavy, so he ignored Lin Luo's presence.
However, Vera seemed extremely worried about this situation. She hid behind Lin Luo, holding the strong and powerful arms with both hands and was unwilling to let go.
Lin Luo said, if you keep holding me like this, I'm afraid I won't be able to resist eating you.
After a long time, Vera shook her head and refused, "Captain Akeli, I don't want to go back. It's too boring in the kingdom. The ground is beautiful. I like staying here!"
"But Princess——!" The man named Akeli immediately stood up and wanted to say something.
After a long while, he said solemnly, "Princess, the surface world is about to be destroyed. The Delos system has been activated. If you don't go back, it will be very dangerous!
Even if you like the surface, after humans become extinct, we can still come to the surface to establish a kingdom, and you can still come to the surface again!"
Akeli's words were very straightforward, he almost said directly that they were going to cleanse the humans on the surface of the earth and then occupy the surface.
It’s a pity that no matter how Akli tried to persuade her, Vera still looked reluctant.
"I don't care. Even if you say so, I'm going to stay here!"
Her face was filled with grievance, and then she said weakly to Lin Luo: "Lin Luo, can you help me? I don't want to go to that dark underground..."
Seeing her like that, Lin Luo rubbed his forehead speechlessly, then dragged her from behind to the front: "Your people are right, the ground is so dangerous, and you follow a grown man like me all day long, what's the point? Aren't you afraid that I will eat you?"
"You...are not allowed to talk to the princess like that--!" Before Vera could react, Akli became furious.
He quickly came up to Lin Luo, holding a special luminous short blade in his hand, pointing at Lin Luo and angrily said: "How can a eunuch like you speak nonsense to our princess!"
In an instant, the atmosphere on the beach dropped to freezing point.
Lin Luo frowned, but there was no murderous intent in his eyes.
The main thing is that this guy looks like an idiot who has no idea of his own situation.
Although Lin Luo was not angry, Vera beside him was angry.
She immediately pushed Akeli away, her delicate face filled with anger: "Akeli, you can't do this to Lin Luo, he is my friend——!"
"But...but Your Highness the Princess!" Akli wanted to say something.
But when he saw Vera's increasingly angry expression, he instantly became dispirited again.
"Alright... Your Highness, please take care of yourself and your safety. I will take my leave..."
After saying that, he turned around and headed towards a special silver spaceship.
But before leaving, he said to Lin Luo: "Mr. Lin Luo, Princess Vera is the descendant of the queen of our Ankuliya clan. If anything happens to her, we Ankuliya clan will hunt you down to the ends of the earth!"
After a sigh of anger, he opened the door of the spacecraft.
But just as he was about to step half foot in, a dark force directly blew up the spaceship!
Boom——
In the fire, Akli was blown away and fell into the distant sea, his life or death unknown.
