203: Chapter 203 Heavenly Palace Under Attack

Two days later.

As the Sister Li and Chiyao Aircraft Carrier fleet sailed north along the Atlantic Ocean towards the Arctic Circle, the Lighthouse, located in the waters north of Alaska, had already taken in about five thousand people.

Most of them were from the United States, but there were also a small number from other countries.

For instance, a certain "elite" Chinese expat.

"Oh my God! This is a miracle, a miracle! I knew I wasn't wrong about the Lighthouse; the Lighthouse will eventually shine brightly again!!!"

Upon seeing the Lighthouse, this "elite" Chinese expat was instantly moved to tears.

Such a sci-fi space carrier—wasn't it much more powerful than those of the Dragon Kingdom?

He immediately knelt down devoutly, prostrated himself on the ground, and crawled forward step by step, crawling into the Lighthouse.

"Get up! Stop crawling, you look like a spineless shrimp."

An alien with a lobster claw for an arm and a shriveled head looked at this "elite" Chinese expat with a mocking smile.

The "elite" Chinese expat looked up and was instantly terrified. Damn it, what is this thing!

He looked around in panic and realized that although the interior of the Lighthouse was very sci-fi, it was filled with bizarre alien life forms everywhere. They looked at him as if he were food, which felt extremely strange.

This "elite" Chinese expat felt a bit uneasy.

Following the crowd, they walked into a plaza-like area.

Soon, people began putting wristbands on them.

They were called wristbands, but they looked just like handcuffs.

The "elite" Chinese expat said with some dissatisfaction: "This is too restrictive and inhumane, isn't it? Can you tell Lord Black Robe to change it to a better-looking wristband?"

"Change it? Why not just get rid of it altogether?" A lobster-man walked over, carrying a chainsaw, and said.

"That would be even better..."

The moment he finished speaking, his hand was sliced off by the chainsaw.

The "elite" Chinese expat immediately wailed: "Damn it, I meant don't use the handcuffs!"

"I meant don't use the hand."

The lobster-man sneered, ignored him completely, and dragged the guy into the kitchen.

"No! No! I am a devout believer of the Lighthouse! How can you treat me like this, and make me wash dishes in the kitchen?"

The "elite" Chinese expat screamed.

In the kitchen, a man with a pig's head and a potbelly walked over, carrying a butcher knife. He revealed his twenty wild boar tusks and smiled lecherously: "Wash dishes? You're overthinking it. You are the ingredient."

"Ingredient?"

The "elite" Chinese expat was finally stunned with terror.

He collapsed to the ground.

An indescribable regret suddenly welled up in his heart.

Before life no. 1 was released, he had encouraged his father to drink Sigma.

Before the shipwreck occurred, he had moved his whole family to the United States.

Now, he had even entered this Lighthouse, which was like a living hell.

How did he manage to step perfectly into every pitfall?

...

"Lizard Queen, the livestock have been collected! There are men and women, some from domestic and some from abroad, some with high IQs and some with low IQs... the species are quite diverse."

A turkey-woman with a cockscomb on her head, walking with long legs clad in black stockings, came over to report.

The Lizard Queen nodded. Following her order, the Lighthouse floated higher and higher. After entering the atmosphere, she looked down at the continents and oceans below and murmured: "I have been exiled to this planet for over 1,500 years. Now, I can finally leave."

"Congratulations, Queen. If these Earthlings were a little smarter, they might have been able to build a Lighthouse long ago."

The rest of the aliens, including the vampire Bruce, bowed down to the Lizard Queen.

According to the Lizard Queen's propaganda, Ascension Star was a planet with extremely advanced technology, and as early as 1,500 years ago, it already had the capability to build interstellar spaceships.

Returning now, it would likely be even more prosperous and powerful.

"Ascension Star, I am finally returning."

The Lizard Queen murmured to herself.

She had waited too long for this day.

Beside her, Bruce was a bit puzzled. As the Lighthouse accelerated to the first cosmic velocity, he couldn't help but ask: "Queen, didn't you say that the Lighthouse is driven by the Earth's magnetic field? That would only get us to Mars, the Moon, or other planets. How can we return to Ascension Star?"

"Don't worry. I had long ago made arrangements with NASA at the Mars Base. On this journey home, we will first go to the Mars Base to let the Lighthouse merge with the other module; only then will we have interstellar flight capability."

The Lizard Queen explained.

NASA's exploration of Mars was also under her promotion and planning.

Just to cover her tracks, she had divided the interstellar spaceship into two major modules.

One module was the Lighthouse, whose main power source was the Earth's magnetic field.

As for the other module, it was at the Mars Base, and its power source was naturally not the Earth's magnetic field.

"I see."

Bruce realized.

Just then.

The Lighthouse had accelerated to Earth's high-altitude orbit. There were many satellites nearby, and one could even see the Dragon Kingdom's Tiangong a few miles away.

"This Dragon Kingdom has repeatedly caused us trouble and almost ruined my grand plans."

"Since we are leaving for good this time, let's give them a little lesson."

After the Lizard Queen finished speaking, she ordered her subordinates to aim the fire control system at Tiangong.

This Lighthouse was mainly built for interstellar long-distance voyages, so the fire control system wasn't very advanced, but it was more than enough to deal with a space station in orbit.

After all, the space station was only for scientific research and basically had no defense system.

"What is that?"

Inside Tiangong, a few astronauts were conducting experiments.

Just then, they noticed a massive ship body outside the cabin. Judging by its scale, it exceeded that of a typical aircraft carrier.

They were stunned.

The satellite base suddenly sent an emergency warning: [Attention Tiangong, the space station is being targeted by an unidentified fleet's fire control system. Please perform emergency evasive maneuvers!!!]

The astronauts were startled and immediately initiated emergency evasive maneuvers.

Whoosh! Boom!

Shells either grazed past or exploded nearby.

But fortunately, the warning was timely enough, and Tiangong managed, by a stroke of luck, to avoid several rounds of weapon attacks.

But the last shot hit one of the power modules.

Tiangong wobbled, as if it would lose power and fall into the Earth in the next second.

[Tiangong-1 power module has been attacked. All astronauts, please enter the escape capsule in time for emergency avoidance!]

The warning arrived.

The astronauts rushed to the escape capsule.

Before Tiangong exploded, the escape capsule detached from the space station and fell towards the Earth.

"Damn it! What kind of trash fire control system is this? It can't even lock onto a space station?!"

The Lizard Queen, seeing that Tiangong had actually dodged several shells, was so angry she stamped her feet.

A researcher said tremblingly: "This was designed for interstellar voyages; the fire control system is indeed quite outdated."

"Forget it! Let's go."

The Lizard Queen, seeing that one shot had still hit Tiangong, was satisfied.

As the Lighthouse left Earth and headed towards the Mars Base.

News of Tiangong station being attacked by the Lighthouse and the astronauts entering the escape capsule quickly reached the Dragon Kingdom, and the upper echelons were instantly furious!
