Chapter 277: The Day of the Decisive Battle

Hao Zude summarized the various difficulties in his mind for a moment, then stated them.

"Don't worry about the Black Barrier communication problem."

Su Xin waved his hand and said:

"The Tianwang Communication System can dedicate a satellite to effectively penetrate the Black Barrier and transmit simple signals, as long as the Short Rods you manufacture have sufficiently high transmission power."

"Computing power is also not a problem; with the Xiaotian Flight System, combined with Tianqi Group's top-tier chips, it is enough to guarantee ultra-high-speed computing."

"As for materials and structure, it is actually not as difficult as you imagine. It is not like a missile crossing thousands of kilometers; it is at most flying a few kilometers, and many existing alloy materials can meet the requirements."

"However, the guidance technology might indeed be a bit difficult. I am not sure how much the firing direction will deviate, nor am I sure what the specific flight speed will reach."

Su Xin thought for a moment and said:

"How about this: you hurry up and design and manufacture it, and I will optimize the guidance program components."

"No problem!"

Hao Zude agreed decisively.

The most advanced guidance technology can be considered one of the most cutting-edge military technologies, but in special times, in front of Su Xin, all confidentiality protocols can be ignored.

Shortly after hanging up the phone, Hao Zude sent the relevant data on guidance technology to Su Xin.

Opening the file, Su Xin activated Fivefold God Speed, quickly reviewed the content of the data, and began to think about optimization plans.

……

Yingjiang Country.

Above a certain city.

The spaceship continuously fired beams of crimson light, ruthlessly bombing the bustling city streets and buildings.

Iris sat in the chair in front of the console, watching the city being destroyed and the humans fleeing in terror on the screen with an indifferent face.

This was the fifth city he had destroyed.

And they were all cities in Yingjiang Country.

Having destroyed so many places and killed so many humans, the hatred and violence in his heart had finally diminished a little.

"Xiao Yi, slow down the attack rhythm."

Iris ordered.

He intended to play this so-called Invader Game for three days. If he followed the initial attack rhythm completely, he would likely destroy hundreds of cities and kill hundreds of millions of people in three days, throwing the order of the entire Blue Star into complete chaos.

This was not conducive to his subsequent rule.

His plan was to occupy Blue Star and make it his private territory; the more severe the destruction now, the greater his own losses would be.

The humans of Blue Star would all be his servants, and the resources of Blue Star would all be his property; naturally, he had to show some restraint.

By suppressing the strongest resistance forces of Blue Star with invincible momentum and making humans completely lose the will to resist, his goal would be achieved.

Currently, Yingjiang Country had not shown any posture of attack or defense against his destructive behavior, which was a sign of compromise.

"But this is not enough."

"I still have to continue suppressing them for two days."

"I must make you completely despair."

Iris suddenly grinned and looked at another screen to the side.

It displayed the interface of the Tiantian Forum.

Countless netizens from all over the world were discussing the alien invasion event there.

"Besides Yingjiang Country, Long Country also seems to be considered by some to be the number one military power on Blue Star, and is now being pinned with high hopes by many."

"Various countries have also started to unite."

"Perfect."

"Wait until you all gather together and bring out the strongest power of the entire Blue Star, then I will crush you in one fell swoop and shatter all your hopes!"

"Let the battlefield for the final decisive battle be within the territory of Long Country, which everyone is most optimistic about right now."

Iris sneered, then controlled the spaceship to leave the city that had been completely destroyed and headed to the next country, preparing to continue destroying the next city.

But just at this moment.

The spaceship's Artificial Intelligence suddenly reminded him:

"Master, a video communication request from a Blue Star native has been received. Do you accept?"

Iris said indifferently: "Accept."

"Understood."

As the voice fell, the screen in front of Iris displayed the figure of an elderly man from Long Country.

"Hello, Mr. Iris, I am Luo Guangming of Long Country."

The old man smiled gently:

"Regarding the Invader Game mentioned by Mr. Iris, we have discussed it among several countries and decided to accept the rules of the game."

"If you win, our countries will obediently cooperate with your rule and hand over Blue Star to you as intact as possible."

"If you lose, you must also obediently cooperate with us and teach us the advanced technology on your spaceship."

Iris said indifferently:

"Besides accepting, what else can you do? All your weapons are trash in front of me; even combined, they cannot block one of my shots."

"We can still perish together. Even if we cannot harm our enemy, we can destroy most of the humans and resources on Blue Star, so that our enemy gets nothing."

Iris gave a cold, sinister smile, but did not continue the topic, instead watching the other party quietly, waiting for what they had to say next.

The expression on the old man's face remained gentle:

"Regarding this game, we only want to propose one small condition: please, Mr. Iris, stop destroying and killing everywhere."

"We would like to invite Mr. Iris to a decisive battle directly in the Sahara Desert region three days from now."

"According to the current actions of Mr. Iris, too many people have been killed, and too much damage has been caused to the existing social order."

"Regardless of which side of us eventually achieves victory, surely neither wants to see this world in a mess, with ruins everywhere."

"Therefore, proceeding directly to a decisive battle is beneficial to both sides. What does Mr. Iris think?"

Iris grinned and said:

"The Sahara Desert? No problem."

"However, it is not in three days, but in two days. This is the time limit I announced previously, and I will not allow you to offer opinions."

"In addition, I will not stop the destruction during these two days. If you have the strength to stop it, then feel free to act. If you do not have that strength, then you are not qualified to point fingers at my actions."

"As for the reduction of the human population and the collapse of social order, that is your own problem. I do not care about such a small loss."

"Alright, are there any other questions?"

The old man was silent for a moment, then nodded:

"No questions. Then... see you in the Sahara Desert at noon in two days."

The video call hung up.

September 23rd.

On the first day the alien Iris appeared publicly on Blue Star, he destroyed five cities in Yingjiang Country, with the death toll estimated to be over ten million, and direct property damage temporarily impossible to estimate.

September 24th.

The second day of the alien Iris's appearance.

The Alien Spaceship that Iris was riding appeared in several other continents, randomly destroying several cities in several countries. The death toll is temporarily impossible to count, and property damage is impossible to estimate.

The third day.

The sun rose as usual.

People of all countries had gone from initial panic and unease to the confusion and helplessness of the second day, and by today, many people were already feeling desperate.

However, no one knew where Iris's next target would be. Everyone had nowhere to run, so they could only numbly wait at home for the result of the decisive battle, or try to do some things they had wanted to do but dared not do in the past.

Until noon.

All mainstream media around the world began to broadcast the scene in the Sahara Desert live.

One could see that in a certain area of the Sahara Desert, communication vehicles, missile vehicles, heavy tanks, and various other special vehicles were spread throughout.

In the nearby temporary base, advanced fighter jets sprayed exhaust flames, taking off one after another and beginning to hover in the sky.

Countries had united as never before, all bringing out their trump-card advanced equipment and gathering them together in such a short time.

Seeing this scene.

Hope was rekindled in many people's hearts.

"Human countries have united as never before and dispatched so much equipment; defeating a mere alien shouldn't be a problem, right?"

"Since the high-level officials of various countries dared to take the initiative to propose a decisive battle, they must have a certain degree of certainty; otherwise, there would be no need for so many people to die together."

"I hope so."

"However, our encirclement is set up so tightly, and with so much advanced weaponry and equipment piled up there, the alien might not be stupid enough to fly into the encirclement voluntarily, right?"

"That's not necessarily true. The alien is so arrogant, it's impossible for him to voluntarily avoid our encirclement."

"If the alien wants to occupy Blue Star single-handedly, he must demonstrate invincible strength so that no country dares to harbor thoughts of resistance again."

"And to make all countries completely give up resistance, he absolutely cannot avoid our encirclement. Otherwise, the countries will feel there is hope to defeat the alien and will surely continue to resist, which will bring great trouble to the alien's rule."

"If I were in the alien's shoes, I would also voluntarily enter the encirclement and crush all the opponent's resistance forces in a dignified manner."

"That's also true."

"However, in this battle, regardless of victory or defeat, our casualties will definitely be very heavy."

"Sigh! To be backward is to be beaten; it really is an eternal truth."

Just as everyone was discussing.

The live broadcast screen suddenly switched to the air.

One could see the air presenting a shockwave form, just like a meteor flying from afar.

"The Alien Spaceship is here!"

The netizens in the live broadcast room exclaimed one after another.

Soon, the spaceship abruptly hovered in mid-air within the encirclement of numerous armored vehicles and fighter jets.

"It's here!"

"Everyone, stay steady!"

In a command vehicle not far away, Ye Rundong, the commander-in-chief of this joint operation, said in a deep voice.

When discussing the battle plan earlier, his superiors had repeatedly exhorted him that after the Alien Spaceship appeared, he must not attack at the first opportunity.

Instead, he had to wait for a signal.

As for what signal to wait for, even he, the commander-in-chief, did not know.

But only he at the scene knew—

Su Xin was hiding in one of the armored vehicles.

Furthermore, Su Xin was carrying a black backpack with him.

Clearly, the signal his superiors mentioned to him must be related to Su Xin.

Even speculating further, this so-called signal was highly likely some kind of high-tech weapon or equipment developed by Su Xin himself.

"Perhaps, for the sake of secrecy, Chief Su will operate this weapon and equipment personally."

Commander-in-chief Ye Rundong thought to himself.
