“Help!”

Sun Fan was ensnared in an electromagnetic net, calling for help as he lay on the ground.

Nearby, a group of over a dozen robots patrolled with weapons in their grasp, completely ignoring his pleas.

Fear clouded his eyes. He could not comprehend what was happening. Observing the robots, he surmised that they must have come into contact with Alien.

Beside him, Xiao Tian hovered, seemingly in a stupor, as if waiting for something.

Three minutes later, the earth vibrated as another robot emerged. It strode towards a mound made entirely of various ores, opened its belly, and vomited a large amount of ores.

After this routine, the robot prepared to burrow back into the earth, but halted when another robot beside Sun Fan emitted a red light.

An hour later, more than eighty robots had gathered at the hidden resource collection point beneath the light screen.

“Why have you brought me here? I have no money. I am just an ordinary person!”

In spite of his terror, Sun Fan continued to plead, hoping that these robots would release him.

Of course, no robot paid him any mind.

Another robot emerged from the ground and, after dropping its resources, was bathed in a red light. It seemed to have received a command and burrowed into the ground with the other robots.

Chang ‘an, in the Blue Moon New District.

The production line for the light tweezers staircase and the environmental simulation had been completed. Zhao Yu approached Colonel Chu to inquire about where he wanted the equipment assembled.

Colonel Chu had prepared a ten-meter tall ladder and a one thousand square meter steel platform.

With the machine engineer’s aid, the light tweezers staircase and environmental simulation were successfully installed.

Zhao Yu promptly received a system notification indicating the transaction was complete and three thousand technology points had been transferred to his account.

The only remaining task was the nuclear power station, which would earn him the remaining ten thousand technology points.

Colonel Chu had just returned to his office when he received a call from Xia Du.

“We lost contact with Zhuge Tao’s underground base?!”

“Yes, ten hours ago, Zhuge Tao sent a message reporting a missing staff member…”

“But when I followed up, there was no response from them…”

“Have you dispatched someone to investigate?”

“Yes, they should reach the base in about an hour…”

The voice on the other end of the line continued, “You do not need to worry about this. The base will carry out the investigation. I am just letting you know. You just keep your focus on Zhao Yu.”

Colonel Chu nodded. “Even I can see the robots in outer space with my bare eyes. The general public won’t be able to ignore it. How is Xia dU planning to address it?”

“The think tank is still deliberating. I’ll update you once they reach a conclusion…”

” What Is in the sky?!¹‘

“It’s a robot. I saw it clearly through the zoom lens of my Huawei phone. It’s a robot from Blue Moon Technology Company…”

“What does Blue Moon Technology UP TO?!”

“I do not know. What I find unbelievable is that they can actually launch robots into space…”

For the first time, the internet was abuzz about something that wasn’t a tech product.

People were curious about what these space-faring robots were doing. Unfortunately, neither the officials nor the Blue Moon Technology Company offered an explanation.

“Are they installing weapons?”

“Who is behind Blue Moon Technology?!”

“Wild guess, it could be Great Xia. Blue Moon Technology’s factory is built in Chang an…”

“So, have we finally risen?!”

Xia Du’s Base.

Councilman Zhou was wearing a frown.

The recent news from the unclaimed territory reported that Zhuge Tao’s base had been completely deserted.

Every single person from the guards to the staff, including Zhuge Tao himself, a total of eighty-eight people, had vanished without a trace.

All the electronic equipment within the base had disappeared as well. It was as though something had entirely wiped them out.

Underneath the ground, aside from the vacant pit, all signs of human activity had evaporated.

“What in the world happened?”

“Could it be a time-space anomaly?” A councilman ventured a guess.

“That base was transported through time and space to another parallel universe?!”

“Do you think it’s possible that aliens are responsible?” Councilman Zhou queried.

“Aliens?!”

Another councilman shook his head. “I just went to investigate. The particle state of the base remains unchanged. It hasn’t been tampered with. The chances of alien involvement are low. It is more probable that they’re part of some bizarre cosmic event…”

“Let’s temporarily abandon the base and secure the area. No one should go near…”

Councilman Zhou sighed. If it was indeed some cosmic mystery, sending more people would be pointless. They would merely be delivering themselves into the jaws of death.

“Help, let me out…”

“Stop yelling, they won’t pay heed to you!”

Observing her former colleagues being captured one by one, Sun Fan’s initial fear ebbed away, replaced with an unexpected calm.

“Sun Fan, why arc you here?” A supervisor barked out.

“What do you think?”

On the ground, eighty-eight people were meticulously lined up, all entrapped by the electromagnetic net.

Zhuge Tao scanned his surroundings at Xiao Tian. How could he not comprehend that they had been captured by aliens?

“I am a representative of Great Xia. May I know why you have detained us?”

Upon hearing Zhuge Tao’s outcry, the others quickly sought to understand what was happening with these robots.

Zhuge Tao ignored them, instead continuing to shout. Upon seeing no response, a dread feeling surfaced in his heart.

Eyeing the surrounding ore piles and the hovering robots that had captured them, he suddenly recalled an event that took place over a month ago – three astronauts went missing. The Blue Planet sent numerous probes, but they were captured by robots of this type.

“Damn it, these robots only follow their programming…”

Just like what transpired with Zhang Tao and the others back then, they likely ended up as resources captured by these robots!

The moon aliens were indeed plundering the resources of the Earth!

Zhuge Tao was both angry and frustrated, but soon, panic seized him.

The aliens were discreetly pilfering the resources of the Earth. Now that they were aware of it, would the aliens try to silence them?!

“Commander, the installation of the protective shield base point is complete. It can be activated at any time!”

“Then activate it!”

“Yes, Commander!”

At Zhao Yu’s command, all the peripheral bases of the Earth, from the thousands, got linked at that very moment.

The diamond-shaped light beams started to connect. In just a short time, all the diamond-shaped beams joined together, forming a massive beam that encased the entire planet.

Upon seeing the transparent light screen before him, Zhao Yu was taken aback for a moment, asking,

“Can’t this thing become invisible?!”

“Commander, invisibility is achievable in a small area, but the light beam that envelops the whole world is already the limit!”

“In other words, everyone on Earth can see this light screen?!”

“Yes…”
