Stellaris: Earth Alliance

Chapter 9 Changes in Mainstream Thoughts
An Alpha man rushed behind the bunker and wanted to shoot Liu Wenhan, who was kneeling on the ground without any defense. Qin Xu raised his gun and fired. The Alpha man was hit in the head, took a few steps back and fell to the ground.

Chen Xiaomeng followed Qin Xu, and it was the first time she saw a living person die in front of her.

Especially when she died, there was no pain, but she was a little relieved, which had a great psychological impact on Chen Xiaomeng.

She also wanted to cry, because she could understand the other person's mood. If she could see her father again before she died, she would have no regrets.

But Liu Wenhan has been away from home for 20 years. She is a girl who has studied hard for more than ten years and passed the most difficult astronaut exam of all exams.

What kept her going was not her longing for science or her curiosity about the universe, but just to see her father.

Perhaps the mother said so many bad things about the father in front of her daughter that the girl did not dare to express her desire to see her father since she was a child.

But at the last moment of her life, the girl still revealed her deepest feelings.

Liu Wenhan suddenly rushed out of the bunker. Qin Xu pulled him back with his backhand and sat on the ground. He pointed his gun at Qin Xu angrily.

But Qin Xu just looked at him and said nothing.

"you……"

Liu Wenhan's eyes were bloodshot, his hands were trembling as he held the gun tightly and pointed it at Qin Xu.

He gritted his teeth, as if he was going to pull the trigger, but in the end he did nothing and threw the pistol aside.

Qin Xu bent down and picked up the pistol and handed it back to his hand.

"I've already lost one friend and I don't want to lose another."

Qin Xu looked at Liu Wenhan indifferently.

Chen Xiaomeng could clearly feel that Qin Xu was angry. Although Liu Shaomei seemed to have been avoiding Liu Wenhan, in fact, no matter what mission Liu Wenhan and Qin Xu went to perform, Liu Shaomei would find a way to follow them.

They are of the same age again, and Qin Xu has gotten to know each other over and over again. He is one of the few friends of Qin Xu in the fleet.

The other people in the fleet were all seniors and senior scientists. The generation gap was so serious that Qin Xu really couldn't talk to them.

Will protect, but there is really no way to protect it.But Liu Wenhan, Chen Xiaomeng, and Liu Shaomei are different.

Although it was his first time to shoot and kill, Qin Xu was calm as never before. Just because they pointed their guns at Chen Xiaomeng and others, Qin Xu was hit with headshots one after another without any psychological pressure. .

The death of Liu Shaomei and Liu Wenhan's act of seeking death really stimulated Qin Xu.

"Take care of him to me."

Qin Xu said coldly to Chen Xiaomeng and walked out from behind the bunker.

Dozens of long-barreled rifles fired at him from the front at the same time. Qin Xu just moved slightly and all the bullets passed by his body. They only scratched his clothes and skin, and nothing else happened.

He raised his hand and fired twelve rounds, and all 12 people on the opposite side were headshot.

Squat down, change the magazine, stand up, the same operation, bang bang bang 16 shots, every shot hits, and every shot is a burst of brain matter.

When it was the opponent's turn to shoot, Qin Xu either squatted down to change the magazine, or predicted the trajectory in advance and dodged all the bullets by turning slightly sideways.

In the originally fierce battlefield, gunshots were heard constantly, but suddenly the gunshots became sporadic, and only the sound of Qin Xu's shooting was left, without anyone else's movements.

Because for a moment, people on both sides were stunned and even forgot that they were fighting.

However, the stunned time was short, and the dense gunshots of bang bang shrouded the block again.

On the ground, the Alphas had obviously been prepared to invade the surface a long time ago, and started a large-scale battle of trench warfare and infantry charges in the manner of the Earth United Nations during World War I.

The J-25 roared past in the sky. Due to the long-term underground, the Alpha Stars' air force has not developed. Therefore, at this moment, the United Nations of the Earth has completely mastered the air supremacy with only ten fighters.

However, they have been fighting surface bugs and have developed a tough fighting style. The Alpha people, who have extreme militarism, launched charge after charge without fear of life and death.

Faced with powerful and incredible insects, the Alpha people have survived for tens of thousands of years.

What they faced at this moment were not bugs, but fragile individuals who were also intelligent creatures.

The charge horn sounded, and the Alphas advanced in a dense phalanx.

This is to allow each single-shot long gun to be connected to produce the effect of a machine gun. It is a tactic developed by the Alpha Stars to deal with the Zerg for a long time.

Faced with this dense infantry phalanx, no matter how many they came, they would not be enough for aircraft and artillery to explode.

At that time, in order to show the friendliness of the United Nations on Earth, only a small part of the ground troops was stationed on the planet.

At this moment, there were only ten planes hovering over the 100-square-kilometer colony, facing the almost endless Alpha Stars with nearly [-] million regular troops and almost all the people.

Even if each of the ground-attack missiles is launched accurately into the dense infantry square, it will not be enough to face the charge of tens of millions of infantry.

"Woooooooo..."

Air raid sirens echoed over the colonial city.

When the colonial city was built, it was not assumed that the other party would attack, so it was built completely as a trade city, all in order to maximize the trade volume with the Alpha people.At this moment, a large number of Alpha stars followed the road and directly invaded the almost completely undefended colonial city.

People in the colonies also took out their weapons and shot, but most of them were equipped with pistols, which had almost no advantage over the backward long-barreled single-shot rifles.

What's more, the Alpha Planets are still regular troops wearing neat military uniforms and fearless of death. They don't need anything else. They can overthrow the United Nations colonies on Earth with just the tactics of World War I.

"The colony is under attack! The colony is under attack! The enemy is the Alpha Stars. It is estimated that there are more than one million combatants. Please ask for army support! Please ask for army reinforcement!"

At the same time, the cosmic army parked on the solar space station moved, and the large transport ship also activated its thrusters, heading towards the Centaur galaxy at full speed.

All TV programs on the planet were suspended, and emergency news about the attack on the colonies was interrupted. In the live broadcast, a large number of Alpha aliens in uniforms were holding World War I rifles with bayonets on the rifles. Basically, they killed each one without giving any opportunity for people to surrender.

"Ah! Isn't this where Xiaoxu is?"

Qin Xu's mother was cooking in the kitchen. After hearing the emergency news on the TV, she hurried out and shouted anxiously.

Dad also rushed out. Although he was very nervous, he still supported his wife.

"It's okay, it's okay. That kid said that the things on the planet have been almost explored, so he should have left that galaxy and gone to other places..."

"In addition, there is another important piece of news. The 350 scientists on the Mozi research ship were in the hinterland of the Alpha planet when the war broke out. The United Nations meeting has made it clear that until the lives and deaths of these 350 scientists are not confirmed, no further information will be released. We will use ground-penetrating bombs to directly attack the underground cities of the Alpha Planets. Please..."

Before the host finished speaking, my parents were so frightened that they fainted together.

At this moment, fierce confrontations are also taking place in the United Nations General Assembly.

"Preliminary estimates suggest the death toll will reach 100 million..."

"This……"

At the meeting, all the xenophiles were silent. Some changed their minds, and some changed from extreme xenophiles to ordinary xenophiles.

On the other side, the representatives of the xenophobic trend have fallen into a state of madness, "Hahaha, it happened again, the Barnard Space Station incident, hahahahahahaha, 100 million people, 100 million people died, were killed by a group of people with water pipe guns. The natives killed a million people, hahaha, hahahaha..."

Some people are laughing crazily and feel sorry for their country.

"Bang, bang!"

An extreme xenophobe pulled out a gun and shot an Alpha star representative at the scene. When he pulled out his gun, some guards tried to stop him, but it was already too late.

"Good kill!"

Some former xenophiles suddenly became extreme xenophobes.

"But, he should be innocent. I can see that the Alpha star representative really doesn't know anything..."

Although the situation is very unfavorable for xenophilia, there are still extreme xenophiles who have chosen to stand on the opposite side of the public at this moment.

"So, do you think our two million people on Alpha deserved to die?"

Someone said sarcastically.

He was extremely pro-foreign and did not dare to speak anymore, so he chose to shut up for the time being.

"Stop arguing. The top priority now is to use all our strength to save as many as we can. As for the treatment of the Alpha aliens, we will wait until the rescue is over."

The Earth's United Nations ground combat force transport ship arrived, and the J-25 fighter jets fell like fairy flowers, filling the entire sky.

Rumbling missiles and aircraft cannon bullets were pouring crazily towards the open ground. A large number of troop carriers brought a large number of light tanks and infantry to engage in street battles with the Alphas in the colonial city, trying to save as many as possible. of civilians.

The scientific research team of 350 people, plus 50 marines, fought their way out of the underground city and came to the surface under Qin Xu's one-for-one operation.

After counting the number of people after coming out, only 350 of the 330 scientists were left, and the number of Marines also increased from 50 to 42.

The Marines looked at Qin Xu with complicated expressions, who was covered in blood and scratched by bullets everywhere, but not a single bullet hit him.

He alone fired 160 rounds of ammunition at them and eliminated 160 enemies.

The key is that the thought that the other party is still a "scientist" makes the members of the Red Dragon Team, who consider themselves the elite among the elite, very inferior.

It's always a good thing when people come out.

Although many people still died, if it weren't for Qin Xu, all 400 of them would have died inside.

"The Red Dragon team reported the situation. All the remaining 330 scientists have been moved to a safe place and can launch ground-penetrating missiles at the target."

Wu Qisheng, captain of the Red Dragon Team, reported the situation to his superiors.

"Headquarters has received it and the missile is expected to arrive in 5 minutes."

After a while, dozens of ground-penetrating missiles were fired from outer space, and one after another they penetrated into the Alpha planet's underground city.
