Chapter 40 - The Alien Starship Had Landed On the Ground. Was This a Disaster For Mankind?

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Ten minutes ago, just as the probe launched by mankind was about to reach the alien starship, George, who was sitting in his seat, still did not give up on increasing the intensity of his brainwaves. His brain was constantly overdrawn, and his condition had reached a critical point.

George was holding on with his tenacious will. If not for the stimulation of the nervous and noisy surroundings, he would have fainted in the observation hall.

George, who no longer had any concept of time, finally heard a language that he had never heard before in his mind.

That was probably the language of an alien civilization, which George definitely couldn’t understand.

Soon, a sentence appeared in his mind again. Fortunately, this time what he heard was English, the language commonly used on Earth.

He wondered what had happened in the time he was first detected by the alien starship. He guessed that there was an artificial intelligence on the alien starship. After it did not receive any feedback from George the first time it sent out a message using alien language, it immediately changed its message into Earth’s common language.

The message sent by the alien starship was very short. After being translated into Earth’s common language, there were only a few sentences.

[Effective brainwave intensity detected!]

[Target’s location detected!]

[Warning: Unknown object detected approaching, destroyed!]

These few short messages were received by George.

It was at that moment that the unmanned probes launched by the humans were destroyed.

George was shocked because the alien starship had a passive defense mode. Without the need for control, the starship’s defense system would automatically destroy any object that approached the spaceship.

The result was that the 6 unmanned probes launched by the humans were destroyed by the alien starship’s defense system in an instant.

…

At this moment, after all the human probes were destroyed, the scientists and workers in the observation hall looked at the huge screen at the same time.

In the image transmitted from the International Space Station, the alien starship did not move after destroying the unmanned probes. Instead, it remained in a state of stillness.

The people who were watching the live broadcast fell into a state of great fear. Many people were prepared to escape, but they did not know where they could go, so they could only run around like headless chickens.

Since the alien starship had destroyed the unmanned probes in an instant, it was pretty obvious if the aliens suddenly launched an attack on Earth, humanity would suffer a huge disaster that had never happened before.

This was countless times scarier than any natural disaster.

However, what the outside world did not know was that George’s exact location had been pinpointed by the alien spaceship.

George also realized this problem. Just as he was about to leave the observation hall, a change appeared on the huge screen that caused everyone present to exclaim in surprise.

“Oh my God, that giant thing is moving!”

“It can’t be that the alien starship’s targets are the humans on Earth, right?”

“Look, that alien starship seems to be adjusting its direction!”

“Quick! Let’s get out of here!”

“Stupid! What’s the point of leaving? We have to inform the Ministry of Defense and prepare to defend with firearms!”

The scientists present knew that even the most advanced weapons of mankind would not be able to harm the alien starship.

However, the people would not give up so easily on their last hope.

…

At this moment, in a command room in the Federation’s Ministry of Defense building, the Minister of Defense and many important government officials were gathered here.

They were the top officials of the humans who had predicted the alien starship’s movements. The Ministry of Defense, which was responsible for defending the Federation and attacking matters, had been preparing for the alien starship’s invasion since its appearance.

On the ground, there were all kinds of state-of-the-art missiles laid out in the form of a defense circle with the capital as its center.

In orbit near the International Space Station, the attack satellites that had long arrived had already locked onto the alien starship.

Of course, humanity’s last hope was still nuclear weapons.

However, they would not use nuclear weapons unless it was absolutely necessary.

In the command center of the Ministry of Defense, everyone was focused on the alien starship that was shown on the screen.

The starship that represented the black technology of the aliens was slowly adjusting its direction.

No one in the command center could guess what the alien starship was doing.

“Minister John, what is the alien starship doing? It can’t be that it’s trying to leave Earth, right?”

The tall and buff Minister of Defense looked at the guy who just spoke with disdain.

“I don’t think your joke is amusing!”

“Minister, the President is calling!”

The Minister of Defense walked to the front of the phone and took the phone from the staff, putting it to his ear.

Everyone present turned their gazes to the Minister of Defense because their guesses would be verified soon.

Soon, the Minister of Defense put down the phone in his hand and his sharp gaze swept across everyone present.

“The President has agreed to use nuclear missiles to stop the invasion of the alien starship! Admiral Feld, let’s commence our plan!”

With this, the staff started getting busy in the command room of the Ministry of Defense. Using nuclear weapons required a lot of complicated procedures, but now that the situation was urgent, they could only simplify the many complicated procedures to the maximum.

…

The International Space Station in outer space was in charge of monitoring the alien starship.

The huge object hovering at the Lagrange point was slowly adjusting its direction.

From the perspective of the International Space Station, the front and back of the alien starship could not be distinguished.

What they did not know was that the alien starship that was causing global panic was actually related to a young man on the ground.

The alien starship was adjusting its direction in the coordinates of George that it had detected, preparing to land where its owner was.

Soon, the International Space Station observed that the alien starship had stopped adjusting its direction.

The image was sent back to the receiving station on the ground in haste. Countless human nerves were affected by the alien starship’s movements.

Panic! Helplessness! Worry!

Some very few were even excited.

When everyone on Earth was paying attention to the alien starship’s next move, the starship that had finished adjusting its direction suddenly disappeared from the surveillance of the International Space Station.

In the next moment, the people who were in the same city as George were horrified to find that the surrounding environment had suddenly darkened.

The people looked around for the reason that the sky darkened.

Finally, they were horrified to find that a huge monster had appeared in the sky above their heads.

The panicked people began to run in all directions, shouting.

“Oh my God! The alien starship has invaded Earth!”

“Run! Don’t get in the way!”

“Damn it! Don’t run into the buildings!”

“It’s over! Humans will be destroyed soon!”
