I, the native, do as I please

Chapter 333 Invasion
NASA.

President Rick Archibald sat in a chair, and in front of him, two windows opened on a large screen.

One is the picture in the 'Independence' spacecraft, from which you can see the astronauts and the situation in the cab.

The other is an electronic chart showing the flight path of 'Independence'. From this window, it can be seen that 'Independence' has left the atmosphere and is approaching the Russian space station.

"Ground command center, this is 'Independence', we have arrived at the space station, and we will replenish fuel, which will take about 30 minutes."

On the screen, the astronauts report to the space agency.

Stephen, director of the space agency, picked up the walkie-talkie and said: "The ground command center has received it, 'Independence' please set off as soon as possible after completing fuel replenishment."

Speaking, Stephen looked at an electronic clock next to him.

It shows that there are about 35 hours before the 'Destroyer' enters the atmosphere.

What follows is a long wait.

In the past, half an hour can be said to pass in the blink of an eye.

But today, it is very difficult, quite long.

Grow as long as a century.

In front of Rick Archibald, there was a hill of cigarette butts in an ashtray.

At this time, the 'Independence' on the screen sent back a new message: "The ground command center, this is the 'Independence', we have completed the fuel replenishment, and now we are leaving."

Mr. President finally stopped smoking and looked at the big screen.

On the big screen, another window shows that the 'Independence' spacecraft has re-started.

This time, a new route was marked.

According to the computer's plan, the 'Independence' will cut in from behind the 'Destroyer' meteorite in more than three hours, and then land.

Undoubtedly, this is another long wait.

Time passed bit by bit.

During the period of Independence's journey to the super meteorite, the personnel on the ground basically had nothing to do except monitor the readings.

If it is normal, I am afraid that many people here will leave their posts and go to relax.

But today's situation is special, no one wants to rest, and can't rest.

After all, if the "Independence" is a little negligent on the way, the earth will be finished.

When Rick Archibald made a phone call with his family and came back, Director Stephen said nervously: "Mr. President, the 'Independence' is approaching its destination, and will try to land in 15 minutes."

The President nodded, sat down, and looked nervously at the screen.

In the screen, 'Independence' is constantly reporting the latest situation.

"Ground command center, we are now trying to land."

"Everything is fine at the moment."

"Turn on all radars and observe the ground situation."

Listening to these reports, Rick Archibald kept looking back and forth between the two windows.

Suddenly, outside the office, someone in the hall of the command center suddenly jumped up and shouted, "There are unusual energy readings on the 'Destroyer'."

"This situation...is it a tremor, an earthquake?"

"Earthquake on the Destroyer?"

Chief Stephen grabbed the walkie-talkie nervously and said, "Independence, stop landing."

"I just detected an abnormal energy reading on the Destroyer. It may be an earthquake. Please wait for further instructions."

Then the director rushed to the window again and shouted: "Find out the source and area of ​​the earthquake, hurry up."

"I want to know which area on the Destroyer is available for landing."

As soon as the director's voice fell, new news came from the 'Independence' on the big screen.

"Ground command center, this is 'Independence', we found a flash of light on the surface of 'Destroyer', and it is suspected that an explosion occurred inside the meteorite."

Stephen suddenly looked at the big screen.

"Can the explosion be seen from the Independence?"

He quickly picked up the walkie-talkie and shouted: "Independence, leave immediately and stay away from the 'Destroyer'!"

At this time, the video window of the spacecraft suddenly shook.

The voice of the cosmonaut on the 'Independence' called intermittently: "Ground command center. Let's evacuate the debris."

Looking at it like this, it seems that the surface of the meteorite was shattered because of the explosion on the 'Destroyer'.

In this way, those fragments will be ejected high into the air, thereby threatening the 'Independence'.

Now that the Independence was hit by the debris, communication was difficult and it looked like they were in danger.

Rick Archibald looked at Stephen and said, "Why did the fragments on the meteorite hit the 'Independence'? Aren't they far away?"

Stephen explained nervously: "Mr. President, there is no air resistance in space, and the gravitational force of the earth is even more negligible. Therefore, the debris formed by the explosion on the surface of the 'Destroyer' will be scattered at a very high speed."

"The power and damage range are much larger than normal. Even if the 'Independence' and the 'Destroyer' are far away, they will still be impacted."

"But you can rest assured that the 'Independence' is made of titanium alloy, so it is not so easy to be destroyed."

The president just nodded.

After 10 minutes, the communication of 'Independence' returned to normal.

"Ground command center, this is 'Independence', we have stabilized."

"At present, the damage to the airframe is within an acceptable range and will not affect the return flight."

"Now we are waiting for the surface of the meteorite to return to normal before we can land and plant nuclear bombs."

Hearing these news, Archibald breathed a sigh of relief, but at this moment, someone in the 'Independence' said 'huh'.

"Look, there seems to be something moving on the Destroyer."

Stephen immediately picked up the walkie-talkie and said, "Independence, what's the situation now?"

'Independence' replied quickly: "We have observed abnormal shadow changes on the surface of the Destroyer. It may be that the dust produced by the explosion refracted sunlight. The specifics need to wait for further observation."

Stephen put down the intercom and called out the window: "Where is the report I want?"

"Why hasn't that damned report appeared in front of my eyes!"

At this time, there was some commotion in the 'Independence'.

Since the lens of the screen was facing the spaceship, they didn't know what they saw, but Rick Archibald could see that the astronauts on the screen seemed to become tense.

"what is that?"

"Is it a tornado?"

"I'm not so sure."

"Wait, it seems to be going up."

"It's approaching us."

"Calculate its orbit, quick."

Stephen, who also heard the voice, quickly raised the walkie-talkie and shouted: "Independence, what did you see?"

But the people on the 'Independence' did not answer, and several spaceships seemed to be attracted by certain situations on the 'Destroyer'.

"Look, it's accelerating, which doesn't obey the laws of physics."

"It's some kind of machine, and only a machine can change its speed freely."

"My God, it's coming."

"Go! Go!"

"No, it's too fast."

"It's too late, we have no time to escape."

"My God, what is this?"

"It's not a machine, it's a..."

sand!
Communication was suddenly cut off.

On the screen, the picture of Independence number freezes.

Stephen held the walkie-talkie and called: "Independence! Independence, what happened!"

"This is the ground command center, please answer! Please answer!"

"Damn!"

After calling several times in a hurry but getting no response, Stephen dropped the walkie-talkie and ran to the window to call.

"Can anyone tell me what happened on the Independence?"

Immediately, a member of the space agency reported: "The signal from the Independence has disappeared, Director."

Stephen trembled all over and said, "Are you sure?"

"determine."

The director took two steps back and looked at Rick Archibald with difficulty.

Mr. President closed his eyes and sighed in a low voice: "It seems that our action has failed."

Stephen rubbed his eyebrows, not knowing what to do next.

Footsteps sounded.

Someone pushed open the door and walked in, "Mr. President, Director Stephen, you have to look at this."

He put a laptop on the table, and on the screen were the tense figures of several astronauts in the cab of the 'Independence' just now.

The staff member said: "After we processed the last frame of the picture sent back from the 'Independence', it became like this."

He tapped the keyboard, and a picture appeared on the screen.

In the picture is an astronaut wearing glasses.

At this time, his glasses acted as a mirror, reflecting the scene outside the cab.

After magnification and clear processing, it can be seen that in the space outside the cab of 'Independence', a twisted and thick tentacle is coming straight to the spacecraft.

On that tentacle, there are countless human arms growing densely on the surface.

The scene that only appeared in the nightmare, at this moment, vividly appeared before everyone's eyes.

Stephen exclaimed: "This is impossible!"

"A tentacle with countless human arms sabotaged the 'Independence'? Ridiculous!"

"Don't you want to tell me that this tentacle came from the 'Destroyer', so the 'Destroyer' is not actually a meteorite, but some kind of huge alien creature?"

The word alien creature made Rick Archibald tremble.

He suddenly remembered what the Minister of Defense said to him last night.

Mr. President raised his head, looked at Stephen and said, "Last night, your space agency didn't make a guess."

"You guessed that the meteorite attack last night was premeditated."

"Do you still think that this may be a contact event of extraterrestrial life?"

Stephen was speechless.

Of course he knew about it.

It's just that now he suddenly sees the 'evidence' right in front of him, emotionally, it's hard for him to accept it.

Rick Archibald pointed the terrifying tentacle on the screen with his finger.

"Now, your guess has been confirmed."

"It seems that this is not a natural disaster."

"It's war."

"We are about to be invaded."

Eden Base.

Cars, including trucks transporting supplies, kept driving into the base.

Azu stood on the roof of a building, overlooking the base, watching the convoy finally stop under the building.

"Master, the people and supplies you want have been delivered."

Azu nodded, turned around, and saw Angelina in business attire.

"You did a good job."

"Xana."

"I have something to reward you."

Angelina's eyes suddenly became fascinated, and she was a little shy.

"Is it here?"

"Well, as long as the master wants, I can do it anytime."

Azu couldn't laugh or cry: "What are you talking about?"

He took out the 'She-Hulk Gene Enhancement Capsule' from the inventory and said, "Eat this and it will make you stronger."

This enhanced capsule has been sitting in the inventory for a long time, and Azu has never found a suitable one.

Plus.

According to his plan, the world may become different in the future, and it is necessary to enhance Angelina's ability to survive.

After all, she can be said to be Azu's right-hand man.

Angelina didn't hesitate, took the capsule, threw it into her mouth, and swallowed it.

She has absolute trust in Azu and believes that Azu will not hurt herself.

After eating the capsule, a little green suddenly appeared in Angelife's eyes.

She snorted, and then her skin gradually turned green.

She's starting to change.

Azu covered her with a layer of 'absolute domain' to prevent her from causing damage to the building.

At this time, the phone rang, and a network message popped up.

'At three o'clock in the afternoon, the White House will hold a press conference, which will be broadcast live to the world. The conference will announce the results of the 'Independence' issue! '

Three o'clock in the afternoon?

Azu looked at the time, there were still 10 minutes left.

This time is fleeting.

Although there is no TV here, this press conference is also broadcast live on the Internet. Azu randomly picked a live broadcast room to enter, and saw the press conference start.

The background is the White House, and the press conference is held outdoors.

When President Rick Archibald appeared in front of the camera, the flashes didn't stop for a second.

After the reporter took the photo, Archibald looked at the manuscript, then looked at the camera with a solemn expression and said.

"Here, I regret to announce that the operation 'Independence' ended in failure."

"We were attacked."

"Yes, the 'Destroyer' is probably not as simple as a meteorite."

"It is very likely that it is a vehicle for some kind of alien life to invade the planet."

"This is the picture sent back before the 'Independence' was destroyed."

Camera switch.

A photo appeared on the screen.

From that photo, it can be seen that a twisted and huge tentacle appeared in space, and this tentacle was covered with countless things that looked like human arms.

Weird and scary.

The barrage in the live room immediately flew up like a rocket.

"What is this, has Cthulhu finally come?"

"Alien life! I didn't expect to see alien life in my lifetime!"

"This can't be P's, don't tell me this thing grows in a meteorite?"

"The end of the world is here, brothers, the big one has come, this is Judgment Day!"

There was chaos in the studio.

And such confusion not only appeared on the Internet, but also in reality.

Since the press conference of the White House was broadcast live globally, there was an uproar all over the world.
