Chapter 14
Defending Against an Alien Invasion
“Where did White Rabbit Nine land in the end?” Thomas looked worried, his hair a mess.
Next to him, Jax, the director of the Five Eyes Space Agency, looked just as anxious.
Ever since they found out that there was another landing site for White Rabbit Nine, the Meine Space Agency had been searching for it like crazy.
They had taken matters into their own hands and enlisted the help of the Five Eyes Space Agency.
But even after a few days, they had yet to find any sign of the spacecraft, let alone its landing point.
Suddenly, a staff member from the Foreign Affairs Department approached them. “Boss, the Great Xia Space Agency wants to have a video call with us…”
“Just decline the call,” Thomas replied immediately. “They just want to make fun of us. I can already imagine the sort he’s going to make when we put him on speaker.”
“Got it!” the worker from the Foreign Affairs Department said before leaving. But he came back once more just a few minutes later.
“Boss, the Great Xia Space Agency has invited you to a video meeting with their managers,” he said.
“Just decline it.” Thomas said angrily.
He thought to himself, surely the Great Xia Space Agency wouldn’t dare to request another call again this time.
Much to his surprise, the worker returned again.
“What’s the matter? Did Great Xia call again?” Thomas impatiently asked.
The worker replied, “No, it’s the Five Eyes Space Agency. They’re looking for Jax…”
Jax was startled and took out his phone, only to find that it had run out of battery and shut down.
“Thomas, calm down. I’ll be back in a minute,” Jax said before leaving.
As soon as Jax left, Thomas couldn’t contain his anger any longer. He began to curse.
“You useless bunch! You can’t even find White Rabbit Nine. What use are you to me?”
“How could three people vanish into thin air?” he continued, “Even my dog at home could do a better job at finding people than you guys…”
After a while of cursing, Thomas finally stopped when he saw Jax walking back towards him.
Jax said as soon as he returned, “Thomas, it’s an invitation from the Great Xia Space Agency. I think it’s better if you go and take a look.”
“Were you bribed or something? Why are you speaking up for Great Xia?” Thomas asked in a confused tone. He didn’t understand why Jax was speaking in favour of Great Xia.
“It’s not about that! Do you know why Great Xia is calling for a manager level meeting?” Jax shook his head.
“Did they invite you guys too?”
Thomas finally understood that Great Xia did not call him with the intention of mocking him.
“So, what’s the meeting about?” he quickly asked.
“It’s about resisting an alien invasion!”
“What?”
Thomas was shocked. He quickly asked for more details.
Jax shook his head, “I don’t know the specifics yet, but Great Xia released an invitation password.”
“Password? What is it?”
“The landing point that Great Xia announced is real!”
“Hmm?”
Thomas was stunned.
After a long while, he finally understood the connection between the case and said, “If the purpose of the meeting is to discuss about resisting the invasion of aliens, Does it mean that White Rabbit Nine was really captured by aliens?”
Looking at Thomas’s reactions, Jax was starting to feel superior. He felt that he was better than Thomas for being calmer.
“The possibility is very high. Great Xia wouldn’t joke about something like this,” Jax said.
..
Great Xia organised a conference to defend against an alien invasion and invited a few countries that had the ability to land on the moon.
Originally, the plan was to inform each country’s leaders about the topic after they arrived at the venue. However, the Meine Space Agencies refused to participate and were not picking up the phone.
As a result, in order to get Meine to participate, they had to reveal the topic of the conference in advance.
There are no walls that cannot be penetrated. Conversations like this may have been able to be kept secret offline, but in the age of the internet, there are experts everywhere, and there will always be someone who can crack encrypted communications.
While Thomas and Jax were flying to the Great Xia, news of the conference topic had already spread all over the internet.
” Three days ago, the Great Xia White Rabbit Nine spacecraft landed on the moon, and the live broadcast was suddenly cut off in front of billions of people around the world…”
“Because of this, I suspect that the White Rabbit Nine may have been attacked by the aliens!”
As the news came out, it has caused a global uproar. Countless people went onto the internet and joined the discussion, and the topic quickly became a hottest news, even surpassing the hype from when White Rabbit Nine first landed on the moon.
“Oh my god, the aliens have finally appeared! Is there any footage? I want to see what they look like…”
“I knew it! How could White Rabbit Nine from the Great Xia got cut off suddenly? It must have been destroyed by the aliens..”
“Damn it, if that’s the case…”
“Hey everyone, the conference venue is at the Long Xi Aerospace. I’ve booked my ticket and will get you the latest information.”
“Hello everyone. As a journalist, I am here to bring you live coverage of this event, despite the potential risks involved. I am dedicated to providing accurate and informative news, and I appreciate your support by liking, subscribing, and sharing our coverage. ”
As soon as the conference venue was exposed, a large number of internet celebrities rushed to the Longxi Aerospace.
At this moment, whether people believed that there were really aliens or thought that it was just a publicity stunt, everyone was paying attention to this conference.
“It can be said that this is the closest encounter with aliens yet. Let’s hope that the government takes this seriously.”
“For the sake of humanity, I’m willing to marry into an alien family and be their son-in-law. I don’t care if they look like spiders or foxes or whatever. Do whatever you want with me!”
“Has anyone considered that the aliens might look like the Hulk?”
…
The Moon.
On surface of the moon, Zhao Yu was lying in a hot spring, eating scallion pancakes and sipping red wine.
Before he could continue enjoying himself, the red light signaling the butler lit up again.
“Commander, we have a situation!”
Zhao Yu let out a sigh, shaking his head as he set down his wine glass and asked about the situation.
“Xiao Tian 18 has caught another high-tech object – a probe with 13 cameras…”
“They’ve started to investigate us…”
The butler said in a serious tone, “Once they find us, it will bring about a catastrophic blow…”
“Therefore, Commander, I suggest we take the initiative and strike first, before our base is destroyed.”
