206: Has Chapter 206 ended?
Oceanus Procellarum was currently the base of the Aerospace Force.
The vast majority were human soldiers, but for convenience, Gao Yuan had retained a three-thousand-man robot battalion to handle basic lunar tasks. After all, robots didn't need oxygen and weren't afraid of low temperatures!
You Zhiyong announced over the broadcast that the robots had rebelled.
Many ordinary soldiers didn't believe it. The robots had been with them for a long time, and they had always coexisted peacefully. They had never heard of robots rebelling before.
But the broadcast had said so.
There were always people who, with some doubt, came out together to see.
You Zhiyong and his men had already activated dozens of mechas, preparing to storm the robot battalion.
The robots knew no fear. They had received Gao Yuan's orders to protect Lin Mei, so any unauthorized intruders were enemies. You Zhiyong tried a tentative attack once but was quickly driven back by Laser Cannons!
However, the skirmish also alerted the other soldiers.
Seeing the robots actually fighting, these soldiers, as humans, had a natural stance!
Thus, a battle sweeping across the moon was brewing...
Seeing this scene, You Zhiyong had a look of triumph on his face.
Gao Yuan, let's see where you can run now?
Now, over ten thousand soldiers had joined the fray, with mechas and warships on standby.
Suddenly, the space in front of Oceanus Procellarum began to warp.
Then, a continuous stream of mechas appeared there.
Soldiers were stunned.
"Enemy attack, enemy attack! The aliens are attacking!"
You Zhiyong was also startled...
Aliens were attacking at a time like this? And they were all in mechas?
The key was that the newly appeared mechas looked too powerful; compared to them, the Aerospace Force's mechas were like toys.
Soon, a thousand new-model mechas surrounded the entire camp!
Gao Yuan was piloting one of the mechas.
He floated in the air.
"Brothers of the Aerospace Force, I am Gao Yuan!"
Hearing this voice, the soldiers below looked at each other in surprise.
"President Gao? How can it be President Gao?"
The entire Moon Base had been built by Gao Yuan, and he held incomparable influence over the soldiers. They might refuse if asked to attack Earth, but if asked to stop fighting, the vast majority would comply.
"Why is President Gao here? What's going on?"
"Traitors have appeared in our army, and they want me dead! They want to lead humanity into the abyss. They are alien spies, causing internal strife because they know that as long as we are united, the aliens can never occupy Earth. But if we start a civil war, then before long, our nation and species will perish. This isn't like the dynastic changes in history; this time, the aliens will completely exterminate our genes and occupy Earth. In the future, the ones living on Earth might be Venusians or Martians, but they won't be Earthlings..."
"Now, please return to your camps and wait patiently for screening. I, Gao Yuan, promise you here that we will not wrong a good person, nor will we let a bad person go!"
Most of the soldiers believed him.
"I knew it, why would President Gao be here?"
"Holy crap, so the one shouting earlier was an alien spy?"
"These people are disgusting, even siding with aliens! Who exactly is it?"
"It seems to be You Zhiyong!"
You Zhiyong was panicking now. Gao Yuan had appeared, and his own influence was too weak compared to Gao Yuan's.
Seeing his mission about to fail, he began a deathbed struggle.
"Don't believe him, Gao Yuan is the traitor, he has betrayed the country..."
Someone quickly retorted.
"Gao Yuan betrayed the country? If not for him, we would have been wiped out long ago!"
"The funniest joke in five thousand years—Gao Yuan betraying the country. If he had even a bit of selfishness, he would have been the Global Leader six months ago!"
Gao Yuan continued his announcement.
"Please do not linger. In ten minutes, anyone still gathered here will be regarded by me as an accomplice to the alien spies, and I will issue an extermination order!"
With those words, many people withdrew...
You Zhiyong noticed that some of those who were behind him earlier were also secretly leaving.
But he couldn't leave. If he backed down now, there would be absolutely no chance left. Once Gao Yuan started the screening, he would one hundred percent be dragged out and then... turned into cosmic dust.
He was unwilling...
But there were so many mechas around Gao Yuan now, and they looked very powerful.
You Zhiyong looked at the mecha Gao Yuan was in, a fierce light flashing in his eyes.
Now, there was only one way: deal with Gao Yuan first. These mechas looked fierce, but no one knew their actual performance. Gao Yuan had only disappeared for a short while; where could he have gotten so many mechas?
You Zhiyong suspected this wasn't real at all, but likely a holographic projection!
He encouraged his subordinates: "Gao Yuan's mechas are definitely fake. If they were real, he would have acted long ago. Besides, where would he get so many huge mechas in such a short time? If he had them, why didn't he use them when fighting the Venusian and Mercurian fleets? So, they must be fake! As long as we charge in our warship, we can blow Gao Yuan to ashes. When the time comes, Officer Wu will reward us!"
"Captain, is what you're saying true?"
"Of course. Follow me... there's a future! Pu Qiao, start the warship... charge!"
The Oceanus Procellarum camp had slowly calmed down by now, and almost everyone had returned.
This made the warship You Zhiyong was on look exceptionally conspicuous.
"It seems the alien spy has been exposed. Come then, a fight to the death. For your masters, come and attack me!"
You Zhiyong said fiercely.
"Fire..."
The warship's strongest attack, the Antimatter Cannon, began to prime. This was an all-out strike. You Zhiyong thought clearly: with this one shot, the entire Oceanus Procellarum base would be gone...
Let alone one Gao Yuan!
Gao Yuan was too familiar with the warship's performance. As soon as the ship moved, he knew what the opponent was doing.
His expression changed as well.
This You Zhiyong was truly freaking insane.
A full-power Antimatter Cannon... it could shatter an asteroid.
Just how much did he hate him?
"Don't let it charge..."
Gao Yuan said.
The Antimatter Cannon was powerful, but it had a drawback: Antimatter had to be confined by a high-energy magnetic field, otherwise, it would annihilate the warship itself before even being fired.
The high-energy magnetic field required a certain amount of time to prepare.
It was still in the middle of preparation.
You Zhiyong suddenly felt a surge of panic in his heart.
Time seemed to have stopped.
Everything had stopped.
But he saw nothing; the warship's systems showed everything was normal...
At that very instant, a large hole appeared in the middle of the warship. It was as if this hole had always been there; no one even knew when it had appeared!
Then, a mechanical hand reached in and snatched away the warship's fuel tank.
Afterward, the mecha turned around...
The warship You Zhiyong was in exploded violently, the flames lighting up half of Oceanus Procellarum.
"Is it over?"
Lin Mei looked at the flames outside.
