Chapter 305 The Corpse Has Come Back to Life
On the desolate lunar orbit, two enormous "corpses" float like space debris.
However, within these seemingly lifeless shells, a secret communication is taking place. "Brother, we've been in this position for a long time... Will any humans really take the bait?" A slightly immature yet cruel mental fluctuation echoed within one of the "corpses."
“Hehehe…” Another, more sinister and experienced mental fluctuation responded, filled with absolute confidence, “My dear brother, have you forgotten how we destroyed the Namekian civilization? Have you forgotten how we turned the Alpha Binary system into ruins? The curiosity of intelligent life, especially about things they cannot understand, is their greatest weakness.”
The seasoned fluctuations continued to convey experience: "These Earthlings have built observatories, launched probes... they are eager to understand the universe."
Our 'complete' and 'harmless' sample appearing at their doorstep is like placing fresh meat in front of a hungry wolf.
Their so-called scientists will surely persuade their leaders to "invite" us in.
"Once we enter the interior of their defense system... hehehe..." "At that time, the destruction that erupts from within will be the most thorough and the most despairing! The fame of us 'Dark Twins' Meizhulang will once again resound throughout this star field!" A malicious laugh spread silently within the lifeless shell.
Meanwhile, tens of thousands of kilometers away on Earth, the atmosphere in the TPC Far East headquarters command center was completely different from what the monster had expected.
The main screen clearly displays real-time images of the two "corpses" in lunar orbit, as well as the interface locked by the Delta Force's weapon system.
The massive particle turret had been adjusted to the correct angle, and the light from its fully charged state flickered faintly at the muzzle.
"Delta Station reports, target locked. To prevent excessive damage, the Bakir Cannon is not powered by Max. Charged to 98%, ready to fire at any time," Wild Ri reported calmly, his finger hovering over the control button.
Captain Megumi's sharp eyes were fixed on the screen: "Keep locked."
Director Sawai and Consultant Hayashi's judgment was correct; this overly 'perfect' coincidence is itself the biggest point of suspicion.
She recalled Lin Yeming's words when he stood against everyone's objections: "There is no free lunch in the universe, especially not a mysterious gift delivered to your door."
The experts from the Science Bureau were also holding their breath. Although they regretted the potential loss of complete research samples, they were even more aware that if they did not do so, they would have nothing at all.
Everyone awaited the final command.
Meanwhile, in lunar orbit, the Dark Twins, disguised as corpses, remain oblivious to the impending devastation and dream of dismantling TPC from within.
"Launch!" With Director Sawai's final order, Officer Nanase pressed the launch button.
In an instant, a massive beam of particle energy, condensed from TPC technology, burst forth from the Delta Space Station, like a sword of judgment, slicing through the dark space of space and piercing the target in the lunar orbit at near the speed of light!
Just seconds before the particle beam was about to strike, the elder of the Dark Twins reacted, its powerful sense of danger finally detecting the potentially deadly energy fluctuation! "Not good!!"
Graeme's mental scream was filled with unbelievable terror: "They're not here to reclaim! They're here to destroy us outright!"
He grabbed his younger brother and swerved sharply, narrowly avoiding a fatal attack, but was still hit in part by the particle beam.
"Ras!!" Golem let out a painful howl. It could no longer maintain its disguise. Its huge body suddenly moved, and a dark red evil light burst from its body.
The two stopped hiding and landed directly on the nearest moon, launching an attack on the nearest lunar base.
The moment the two enormous "corpses" in lunar orbit suddenly moved, the command center of TPC Far East headquarters fell into dead silence, which was then broken by urgent alarms and gasps of shock.
In the high-definition transmitted footage, the two monsters, internally known as the "Twin Beasts," appeared like predators who had shed their disguises. Dark red, evil energy burst forth from their bodies, and their massive forms were agile, a stark contrast to their previous lifelessness. They pounced directly on the nearest lunar Carlo base!
"They...they really came to life!" An expert from the Science Bureau turned pale, unaware that the documents in his hands had slipped to the ground.
They had previously lamented the potential loss of research samples, but now they were filled with lingering fear and shock.
Captain Megumi felt a chill run up her spine to the top of her head, and she broke out in a cold sweat.
The resolute words Lin Yeming had spoken when he overruled everyone's objections flashed through her mind: "There is no free lunch in the universe, especially not a mysterious gift delivered to your door."
Thank goodness! Thank goodness we took his advice and adopted the most cautious attack plan! If we had actually retrieved them into the base or even Earth... the consequences would have been unimaginable!
"Bang!" Vice Captain Zongfang slammed his fist on the control panel, stood up abruptly, and swept his gaze across the team members who had instantly entered combat mode. His voice was firm and resounding throughout the command room: "Victory Team, move out!" "Understood!" Daigo, Shinjo, Rena, and Horii responded in unison. Without the slightest hesitation, their figures rushed towards the hangar passage like arrows released from a bow.
"Flying Swallow One and Two, depart immediately! Destination: Carlo Base on the Moon!" Captain Megumi quickly regained her composure and issued clear instructions, "Priority mission: Intercept the monster and protect the base!"
"Ye Rui, update Captain Gale on the latest situation. The base's defense system is operating at maximum power!"
"Yes!"
Two Victory Swallow fighter jets, modified for space travel, roared out of the TPC base's launch channel, like two silver meteors piercing the Earth's atmosphere, speeding towards the moon.
Inside the cabin, the atmosphere was tense and focused.
"What cunning monsters!" Shinjo gritted his teeth, controlling the Flying Swallow No. 1. "They actually played dead! We almost fell for their trick!"
Daigo stared intently at the navigation screen, his brow furrowed: "Their choice to appear near the lunar base is clear. The Carlo base is our only foothold on the moon; once destroyed, our strategic foothold on the moon will vanish."
In the back seat, Horii was rapidly analyzing the real-time data transmitted by Nori: "The energy readings are skyrocketing! The energy responses of these two are hundreds of times stronger than previously detected! Moreover... their energy fluctuation frequencies are converging, showing signs of merging! We must stop them!" On the Flying Swallow II, Lina skillfully set the course, her tone firm: "With Captain Gale and the others at Carlo Base, they can definitely hold out! Let's get there as soon as possible!"
Meanwhile, the Carlo base on the moon is under unprecedented attack.
The massive energy shield fluctuated violently under the frenzied ramming and energy beams of the Meizhulang brothers, and alarms blared throughout the entire base.
"Shield energy has dropped to 65%!" the operator reported anxiously. Captain Gale stood solemnly at the command console, his gaze fixed on the two ferocious beasts outside: "All close-in weapon systems, fire! Disrupt their attack! Release decoy flares! Buy time for the Victory Team! All base personnel, level one combat readiness!"
On the lunar surface, gunfire raged, and huge explosions flashed against the dark backdrop of space and the gray lunar soil.
The Meizhulang brothers let out a piercing roar, and their attack became even more ferocious.
