126: China's war preparation speed, full of malicious eyes

The space-time node is shaped like a cone, narrow at the top and wide at the bottom.

Its top entrance and exit have a diameter of 500 meters.

The bottom entrance and exit have a diameter of 50,000 meters.

Its height is 500 meters.

Public Security Officer Yang is currently in the approximate center of the cylindrical base area.

25,000 meters away from him,

or rather, at the edge of the ‘Dimension Fold Erosion Zone’ on the ground, countless ant-like four-armed and Six-Armed Lizardmen are jumping onto the Dimension Barrier that appeared during the dimension erosion, being carried to the edge of the space node as if riding an elevator.

The “thump-thump” sounds are the noises they make after entering the space node.

Public Security Officer Yang doesn't know why he can still hear the sounds of them entering the space node from so far away.

He only knows that those Lizardmen, who are climbing up step by step along the edge of the space node, yet all turn their heads towards his location, staring intently at him with their vertical pupils, are about to cause big trouble!

“I just picked up something on the side of the road that I don't know if it's a Crystal Lizardman egg. Do they really need to make such a big fuss?”

He took out the soft item and squeezed it, and the Lizardmen immediately let out terrifying roars.

Some Six-Armed Lizardmen even released their claws from the edge of the space node, wanting to pounce on Public Security Officer Yang.

However, they only pounced for about a hundred meters before being affected by gravity and falling directly out of the space-time node.

Their brains are clearly not working well.

Judging by their flailing movements, they will likely be flattened into pancakes.

“I wonder if they'll hit any flowers or plants.”

Muttering to himself, Public Security Officer Yang began to compare himself with the Lizardmen.

“I, an Earth invader, can freely swim and traverse within the space node.”

“I have energy protection when entering the Alien Planet and am picked up by my home planet when leaving the Alien Planet.”

“Definitely protagonist treatment.”

“They, the Alien Planet Lizardmen.”

“To enter the space node, they can only ride the ‘Dimension Barrier elevator’; once inside, they cannot move freely and can only climb along the edge of the Dimension Barrier.”

“If they accidentally lose their grip and fall, they will drop directly out of the space node and be flattened into pancakes.”

“Is this the difference between an invader and the invaded?”

“If the organization directly sent people to the space-time node to prevent the Lizardmen from passing through, how would they cope?”

“We don't need to kill them, just knock them off their climbing points at the edge of the node. Wouldn't they just die no matter how many came?”

But thinking of the large bird that returned to the space-time node just now, Public Security Officer Yang shook his head again.

“No, that's not right. Without becoming a Martial Arts Grandmaster, a City-Level Awakened, one ultimately cannot fly.”

“If a large Alien Planet bird suddenly attacked, our losses would be too great.”

“The best method would be to send a Grandmaster-level expert to guard the interior of the space-time node.”

Seeing that some of the faster Six-Armed Lizardmen had already climbed over a thousand meters, Public Security Officer Yang shook his head again.

“Forget it, these are not things I should be considering.”

“I'll report the matter and let the Think Tank worry about it.”

With this thought, Public Security Officer Yang turned his gaze to the location of the Earth exit, then his mind stirred.

The next moment, his body seemed to transform into a rocket, dragging chunks of radiated crystals out of the space node.

There were significant changes outside the space node.

Not only had the outermost city wall grown taller, but all buildings and vegetation within the city wall had also been leveled.

From the outside in, new circular city walls had been built every 300 meters.

The dense array of cannon muzzles on the city walls... tsk.

A blessing for those with trypophobia.

He didn't believe that Chinese people with trypophobia would be afraid of this thing.

After seeing it, they would probably run over to take a group photo!

In addition, the sky had been completely enclosed.

Countless dark anti-aircraft gun muzzles and missile muzzles on the ceiling were also pointed directly at the space-time node.

Thinking of the scene where countless heavy firearms fired simultaneously, with 35mm caliber bullets piercing through the heavens and earth, Public Security Officer Yang couldn't help but offer a few moments of silent mourning for the Lizardmen in the space node.

Why couldn't they launch a full-scale attack at any other time, but instead chose to come and get themselves killed after all preparations had been made?

Isn't this just rushing to deliver heads?

Before Public Security Officer Yang could finish his silent mourning, a team of medical personnel in protective suits had already rushed over, carrying stretchers.

Raising his hand to stop them from approaching, Public Security Officer Yang pointed to the Crystal Mine being dragged behind him by Dudu:

“It's radioactive, and the radiation level is very high; ordinary people can't handle it.”

“Send Martial Artists instead, and bring radiation-shielding equipment.”

The medical team ran back even faster than they had arrived.

Soon after, a fully armed team of Martial Artists rushed out of the small gate beneath the city wall, quickly approaching Public Security Officer Yang.

Before some of them even reached Public Security Officer Yang, they had already pulled out a detector.

“Unrecorded radiation waves detected. Confirmed this is the first discovery of this unknown radioactive substance.”

While instructing someone nearby to record, he also took off his gloves.

“After removing my gloves, I felt intense tingling and burning pain. The radiation power is extremely strong.”

“Special-grade protective suits can resist this radiation.”

“Special-grade lead boxes can resist this radiation.”

“This radiation dissipates extremely quickly; no residual radiation was found in the soil directly exposed to the radiation source...”

Some people began to test the radiated crystals Public Security Officer Yang brought back, while others jogged up to Public Security Officer Yang.

“Hello, Public Security Officer Yang.”

“I am Li Xia, a Third-Level Peacekeeper from the Secretariat of the Special Administration Main Bureau.”

“From now on, I will be responsible for receiving the information you collected from the Alien Planet and calculating the points you should receive.”

As she spoke, she glanced at Public Security Officer Yang's fists and knees, then asked:

“Do you need to receive treatment first?”

Public Security Officer Yang shook his head slightly.

Turning around, he pointed to the space node:

“I picked up an extraordinary little item from the Alien Planet, which has caused a Lizardmen riot.”

“A large number of Lizardmen will soon come to Earth through the space node.”

“Tell the higher-ups to prepare.”

Li Xia was stunned, then pointed to the recorder on her collar:

“My words and actions will be simultaneously transmitted to my superiors by the recorder. Your information will be promptly addressed by them.”

“Then there's no problem.” Public Security Officer Yang led the way towards the city wall:

“Take me to the medical room.”

Li Xia looked at Public Security Officer Yang's departing back, opening her mouth as if to speak but then hesitating.

Sensing Li Xia's emotions, Public Security Officer Yang turned his head:

“What's wrong?”

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a bump on his calf.

Glancing at his back, he smiled helplessly.

Dudu extended a tentacle, wrapping around the three largest radiated crystals.

Those three radiated crystals were dangling behind his rear.

Reaching out and flicking Dudu's tentacle, Public Security Officer Yang gestured to Li Xia:

“Starlight Jellyfish Dudu, my pet. The Special Administration Bureau has a record of it.”

“It can absorb certain radiation energies to grow, and the radiation emitted by these radiated crystals happens to be one of them.”

“Don't worry, there won't be any radiation leakage.”

Li Xia walked ahead of Public Security Officer Yang and made an inviting gesture with her finger:

“Public Security Officer Yang, please follow me.”

Public Security Officer Yang nodded and followed behind Li Xia.

As he walked towards the city wall, he subtly looked at a certain anti-aircraft gun window on the wall.

With the two traits of ‘Unity of Man and Nature’ and ‘Malice Perception,’ and having cultivated the ‘Star Gazing Art’ to an introductory level, his perception had greatly enhanced.

He could clearly feel that behind that anti-aircraft gun window, seven gazes were scrutinizing him.

One of those gazes carried a particularly strong malice, though it was well-hidden.
