Chapter 1128: Send you to the heavens

After listening to Chu An's analysis, Lin An slightly frowned, realizing that this was indeed possible.

Just a warning..

What warning?

The clues were too few; he had no way to continue speculating, so he had to switch topics.

After a moment of silence, Lin An finally asked his most concerning question, feeling somewhat worried.

"Chu An, when do you think the alien species inside the capital will strike again, and what exactly do they intend to do?"

Unlike him, who barely communicated with the capital side, Chu An, who kept in touch with the military, should know some inside information.

If we say what the greatest external pressure on Lin An is at this stage, there is no doubt it is the alien species.

Not knowing when the alien species will strike next, Lin An only feels like a time bomb that could explode at any moment.

After a moment of thought, Chu An lightly lifted his glasses frame, then after a long while spoke:

"The time of action should be after the war zone confrontation ends, and perhaps even after a period of time. Of course, we cannot rule out that they might also act during the confrontation."

"Let's start by analyzing from the first pursuit."

"The alien species' first pursuit mobilized a third-rank high-level, even bringing a one-time prop to seek a one-hit kill, which shows they value you highly, with no sign of underestimating you."

"Conversely, this also means they have deployed all usable forces; their strength at this stage must be limited in some way."

"Therefore, to guarantee killing you, the next batch of alien species sent must be at least third-rank peak or fourth-rank."

"From your description of Chen Yangtian's growing strength and the alien species' stronger ability after exposing their true form, their upper limit of power seems related to the host."

"So, without finding a suitable host, they cannot launch a pursuit."

Lin An frowned slightly after hearing this; he had also thought of this point, and Chu An's speculation was similar to his.

But now the problem is, nobody knows what the minimum strength requirement is for a host capable of bearing a fourth-rank.

If it is third-rank intermediate, then perhaps we don't need to wait much longer.

"If a third-rank mid-high could withstand a fourth-rank alien species?"

"As far as I know, many people in the capital war zone are about to reach intermediate level; in fact, there may already be some."

Although not much time has passed since the first trial, with instances available, as long as one works hard, one can rely on repeatedly clearing high-difficulty instances to level up, greatly shortening the advancement time.

"I do not rule out this possibility, but I believe we must wait until after the war zone confrontation ends for other reasons."

Chu An nodded slightly, then spoke slowly:

"First is the relationship between alien species and humans."

"From the information we currently have, for alien species to appear in the real world, they must parasitize humans; this means that if humanity's situation is too dire, with too many casualties, they lack hosts. Especially for higher-ranked Awakened Ones, to them they are like incubating wombs; each death means a greater loss for them."

"Zombies cannot be parasitized; otherwise, alien species would be everywhere now."

"So, thinking from another angle, for alien species to invade reality, they must ensure the situation in the Huaxia war zone is not too bad, so that not too many are killed by zombies and mutants!"

"From the first trial, it can be seen that the possessed Chen Yangtian actually hopes more hosts survive and return!"

"Therefore, given that the war zone confrontation concerns the whole situation, alien species are unlikely to risk losing key hosts by forcibly pursuing you at this juncture; for them, after this time, there will be plenty of opportunities to act against you."

"As for their purpose.."

By the window, Chu An suddenly turned his head to look at him, softly asking in return:

"Lin An, under what circumstances do you think these alien species, though stronger than humans, still need to hide their identity? Or need to control humans to 'replace' themselves? And they must have a host?"

He blinked slightly.

After a moment, Lin An furrowed his brow slightly and answered uncertainly:

"Hiding identity.."

"You mean they are smuggling themselves?!"

"If their true form came directly, would they suffer some punishment? Or simply not be allowed by the system?"

Chu An nodded approvingly and smiled:

"Pretty much."

"They must be unable to survive in another world, while the human world is like a virgin land. But entering another world always comes at a cost. Therefore, they have secretly laid out plans, attempting to control humans from within, using humans as wombs to incubate their civilization."

Weapon Test Facility, underground level 7.

On the treadmill, drenched in sweat, Deng Xiang finished his basic warm-up and intended to continue training his body according to the set plan.

After Chu An told him that his future mission was to become the glorious 'Space Battery,' he felt as if ignited with endless fighting spirit, day after day training his body and honing his will.

Although he also didn't know what use training his body had, after all it seemed he only needed to send half his brain up.

But having watched many stories of astronauts' arduous training since childhood, he always felt he should do the same.

Looking at the paper posted on the wall, Deng Xiang's fighting spirit rose, and he clenched his fists as if giving himself a pep talk.

"Come on!"

"I can definitely do it!"

On the paper posted on the wall, it read in bold: "Become humanity's morning star."

In the underground training ground, many research staff taking breaks glanced at the diligently training Deng Xiang, some nodding in approval, seeing no problem. As they had been collectively brainwashed by Chu An, each had become a zealot, feeling they were shining and heating up for the cause of saving humanity.

An hour later, after finishing training, Deng Xiang prepared to continue studying satellite-related knowledge, when suddenly a series of surprised greetings sounded.

Only seen, in the layered-handled underground elevator, two familiar figures suddenly walked out.

That was..

Lord Lin An and Chu An!?

Before Deng Xiang could think of anything, he excitedly wanted to greet them.

Chu An, walking out of the elevator with a smile, looked at him:

"Get ready, Deng Xiang."

"We're going to send you up to the heavens."
