After Qin Xiaozhi left, Jiang Wuming returned to his study with a heavy expression and logged into the Divine Network using his computer.
However, he did not log in with the account of the Hall Master of the Battle Dragon Hall, but rather with a pseudonymous account.
Upon entering the main page of the Divine Network forum, Jiang Wuming immediately saw the highlighted and pinned announcement.
Jiang Wuming clicked on the post and carefully read its content. He learned that the Jerusalem branch of the War God Hall in Europa had detected the fluctuations of the Great Curtain with a probe and immediately activated its emergency plan—evacuating residents around the landing site and dispatching warriors to intercept the extraterrestrial enemies.
However—
By the time the warriors from the Jerusalem branch of the War God Hall arrived, the extraterrestrial enemies had already descended and carried out a massacre, with thousands dead.
In addition, the city of Rome in Europa encountered the same situation.
Following reports from the heads of the War God Hall's Jerusalem and Rome branches, the time for the extraterrestrial enemies to descend had been shortened to one-tenth of the previous time.
Even less than one-tenth!
In response, the War God Hall headquarters, after verification, issued an announcement reminding martial arts institutions worldwide that the time for extraterrestrial enemies to descend had been reduced to one-tenth of the original!
Why had the time for extraterrestrial enemies to descend been shortened?
Was it because the loopholes in the world's rules had become more severe?
Or had the extraterrestrial enemies found new ways and methods to descend?
After browsing the post, Jiang Wuming couldn't help but ask himself these questions.
Before the battle of Mount Everest began, Jiang Wuming had, according to Tianlong Daoist's arrangement, sat quietly before the Great Curtain for a night, carefully sensing the fluctuations of the Great Curtain and the world's rules. He had also learned from Tianlong Daoist that the reason the enemies could enter Earth from the extraterrestrial realm was not because they possessed heaven-defying means, but because Earth itself had problems and its rules had loopholes.
It was the same principle as the human body's immune system weakening, allowing viruses and bacteria to invade and cause illness, or a computer system having loopholes that allowed Trojans and viruses to infiltrate.
There were no answers.
Jiang Wuming did not know where the problem lay, but he knew that with the shortened time for extraterrestrial enemies to descend, the difficulty for Earth to resist them would greatly increase, and more ordinary people would lose their lives in this war.
Jiang Wuming frowned, exited the post, and was about to close the Divine Network forum when his peripheral vision caught sight of another post ranked high: Extraterrestrial Enemies Descend on Dragon Country's Su City, Carrying Out a Massacre!
Thud!
Seeing this post in shock, Jiang Wuming first froze. Then, after confirming that he had not misread, and that the landing site of the extraterrestrial enemies was indeed Su City in the Dragon Country, his heart trembled!
Afterward, he grabbed the satellite phone on his desk and quickly contacted Su Shiyun.
"Ring… ring…"
The busy signal came from the receiver. Jiang Wuming held his breath, his nerves taut, his heart in his throat.
This was because Liu Guifang, Su Shiyun, Su Yuanshan, and others were all in Su City, and they were very likely to be harmed!
"Wuming."
A few seconds later, Su Shiyun answered the phone.
"Hoo…"
Hearing Su Shiyun's familiar voice, Jiang Wuming breathed a long sigh of relief, but he was still worried and immediately asked, "Sister, I just learned that extraterrestrial enemies descended in Su City. Are you all right?"
"No… no, we're fine."
Su Shiyun replied, her voice trembling slightly. She thought of the recent massacre in the ancient city of Su City, and the familiar people being brutally slaughtered by extraterrestrial enemies!
"Hoo… it's good that you're all fine."
After confirming that Su Shiyun and the others were safe, Jiang Wuming breathed a long sigh of relief.
"Wuming, thanks to your arrangements, otherwise my mother and I, as well as Grandpa, would have been in grave danger!"
Su Shiyun said with lingering fear, "Because the extraterrestrial enemies descended right in the ancient city, and their arrival was very fast. By the time the military personnel arrived, they had almost wiped out the entire ancient city!"
Flash!
Although Jiang Wuming had seen the mention of the massacre carried out by extraterrestrial enemies in the post title, his expression changed drastically and his heart ached when he heard Su Shiyun's words!
At the same time, he was filled with confusion: "Sister, what do you mean by your arrangements?"
"Two people have been secretly protecting my mother and me. After sensing the Great Curtain's fluctuations when the extraterrestrial enemies descended, they first assessed the enemy's strength. Upon realizing they couldn't resist the enemy, they took us and a few others to escape the ancient city! One is called Long Wu, and the other is Long Qi. They said their mission was assigned by Chief Li. I thought you had arranged it, but did you not?"
Su Shiyun asked with some doubt.
"Sister, those weren't people I arranged to protect you."
Jiang Wuming sighed.
He understood that Long Wu and Long Qi should belong to the Azure Dragon Squad of the Dragon Guard.
And the Chief Li they mentioned was Li Rui.
After Jiang Wuming and the others left the Dragon Country, Li Rui specifically arranged for Long Wu and Long Qi to protect his family.
And according to Su Shiyun, upon sensing the energy fluctuations of the extraterrestrial enemies' descent, Long Wu and Long Qi's first reaction was to fight, but when they discovered that the enemy's strength was beyond their combat range, they were forced to retreat.
Otherwise, they would have met the same fate as the people in the ancient city.
Liu Guifang, Su Shiyun, and Su Yuanshan would have been no exception!
"Ah… I thought you arranged it," Su Shiyun said, somewhat shocked.
"Because after the battle of Hanshan Temple, Su City was a city heavily guarded by the Eastern Region Army of the Military Department, with heavy troops stationed there, so I didn't make any other arrangements to protect you. Also, this time the extraterrestrial enemies were able to cause a bloody incident in the ancient city of Su City because their descent time was greatly shortened."
Jiang Wuming said this, a sense of lingering fear in his heart.
If Li Rui had not arranged for Long Wu and Long Qi to protect Liu Guifang, Su Shiyun, and Su Yuanshan, they would have been in great danger!
"Sister, I have a villa at the Donghai Martial Arts Academy. Why don't you, Mom, and Grandpa move there to live?"
Jiang Wuming said after thinking.
"Originally, I did want to take Mom and Grandpa to Donghai. Since you're asking us to go to your villa, we'll go there." Su Shiyun immediately agreed.
This was because, according to the information she had, the extraterrestrial enemies had carried out a large-scale massacre in the ancient city, and the blood had almost dyed the entire ancient city red, making it like a living hell. It was impossible to continue living in the ancient city of Su City.
"Wuming, the extraterrestrial enemies are too cruel. They are simply a group of demons!"
Su Shiyun spoke again. Thinking of the tragic scene in the ancient city, her emotions became somewhat out of control. Her eyes were red, tears dripped uncontrollably, and her voice was choked with sobs.
This was the first time Su Shiyun had lost emotional control in front of Jiang Wuming since he returned to the Dragon Country last year and reunited with Liu Guifang and Su Shiyun.
Yes.
Even when she was kidnapped before, she had not lost emotional control!
And at this moment, thinking of the hellish scene in the ancient city, she was even on the verge of collapse!
"Sister, they are a group of cold-blooded beasts. One day, I will kill my way into the extraterrestrial realm and prevent them from descending upon this world!"
Jiang Wuming spoke to comfort Su Shiyun, while a murderous aura emanated from him.
"Mm, Wuming, you must also take good care of yourself outside."
Su Shiyun adjusted her emotions after hearing this. She knew that Jiang Wuming had left the Military Department and the Dragon Country, and she was quite worried about his safety.
"Don't worry, Sister, I'm fine. Mom, is she with you? I want to chat with Mom for a bit," Jiang Wuming said.
"Yes, wait a moment."
Su Shiyun wiped away her tears, got up, walked to the bedside, and handed the phone to the bedridden Liu Guifang.
Liu Guifang had not been online, but when she left with Long Wu and Long Qi, she had witnessed a corner of the ancient city's tragedy, and her heart had been severely impacted.
"Wuming."
Liu Guifang sat up and spoke weakly.
"Mom, are you alright?" Jiang Wuming asked worriedly.
"Mom… Mom is fine, just feels suffocated."
Liu Guifang said, tears falling one by one. "Those neighbors who watched you grow up as a child are all dead, all killed by extraterrestrial enemies. How can those extraterrestrial enemies be so cruel?"
Jiang Wuming remained silent. He didn't know how to comfort Liu Guifang.
Su Shiyun had learned about the existence of extraterrestrial enemies a long time ago, but Liu Guifang did not know.
And extraterrestrial enemies were all warriors. To ordinary people, they were like gods of death.
"You say, why has the world changed so suddenly? Back then, the Japanese devils invaded us, burning, killing, and looting. We finally drove away the little devils and lived a peaceful life, only to have extraterrestrial enemies appear again…"
Liu Guifang said, tears streaming down her face.
Jiang Wuming did not interrupt throughout the process.
Because he knew that Liu Guifang had suffered a great shock and needed to express herself, otherwise, her psyche would be left with a huge shadow.
Only at the end did Jiang Wuming speak: "Mom, don't worry. Just as we were able to drive away the little devils and win the war back then, it will be no different this time!" Da Feng Novel Network
"Wuming, Mom believes you. Mom believes that you and your comrades will definitely defeat the extraterrestrial enemies!"
Liu Guifang wiped away her tears, her face full of conviction.
Jiang Wuming said no more, hung up the phone, took a deep breath, and then clicked on the Divine Network forum post about the extraterrestrial enemies descending on Su City and carrying out a massacre.
The post claimed that extraterrestrial enemies had suddenly descended upon the ancient city of Su City. By the time the Dragon Country Military Department's Su City branch arrived from Hanshan Temple, the extraterrestrial enemies had almost bloodied the entire ancient city.
In addition, the post contained a video recorded by the Dragon Country police's Sky Eye system.
Jiang Wuming's face turned grim as he opened the video.
The ancient city was bustling with traffic and crowded with people. A Great Curtain appeared at the entrance of the ancient city of Su City.
As various countries had already publicly announced the matter of extraterrestrial enemies and extraterrestrial warfare, and had provided科普 information about extraterrestrial enemies, including their descent through the Great Curtain.
For this reason, residents near the ancient city were first stunned in place upon seeing the Great Curtain appear. Then, realizing what was happening, they fled, screaming, causing chaos at the scene.
However—
Dozens of extraterrestrial enemies wearing battle armor and carrying battle rifles quickly emerged from the Great Curtain. Like tigers entering a flock of sheep, they launched a frenzied massacre.
The people of the ancient city were harvested like wheat, falling down one after another, some even vanishing without a trace!
Soon, Jiang Wuming saw a familiar figure.
It was a little girl.
The little girl had a beautiful ponytail, wore a school uniform, and carried a schoolbag.
Jiang Wuming had seen the little girl before.
On New Year's Eve, he and Li Lianyi were sitting on the battlements of the ancient city, gazing at the starry sky. A little girl below the ancient city tower reminded them to be careful, then skipped off to find her friends, and together they left, singing "Lone Brave" loudly.
That night, seeing the happy appearance of those children and hearing their innocent singing, Jiang Wuming had asked Li Lianyi: "Lianyi, will our children be as safe and happy as them?"
"Certainly."
Li Lianyi had said so at the time.
Even now, Jiang Wuming remembered the happy and lovely little girl, and the innocent singing of her and her companions.
And at this moment, the little girl appeared in the video.
Several children appeared with her.
They had just finished school and were on their way home. Seeing the extraterrestrial enemies brutally killing the people around them, they were all stunned and stood frozen in fear.
As the extraterrestrial enemies approached, they cried and screamed, eventually becoming bloodied figures, falling in pools of blood.
What were they shouting?
Perhaps "Dad, save me."
Perhaps "Mom, save me."
Perhaps…
Those were their young lives' final cries of despair.
Seeing this, Jiang Wuming's vision blurred, and tears unknowingly misted his eyes.
His eyes were red as he stared at the video screen, and the innocent singing of the children on that festive New Year's Eve echoed in his ears.
Just then.
A massive energy fluctuation instantly shook the entire villa!
Extraterrestrial enemies had descended!
"Brother will avenge you."
The young man's eyes were red, his fists clenched tightly, and then he rose abruptly, leaping out of the study window.
"Fight?
Fight!
To the sobs and roars in the dark night!"
…
The song echoed in his ears.
The young man ran wildly in the night!
