It's reasonable for me to have a two-way foil for a second-level civilization, right?

"I have to say, we were lucky."

"At least, this is considered a relatively small crater on Mars."

As Andrew reported a series of detailed data, the corners of Bruno's mouth twitched slightly, and the light of hope in his eyes gradually dissipated.

Andrew smiled wryly and looked at the two downcast teammates. He was about to comfort them, but was interrupted by a sudden shrill siren.

Hearing the siren that had never sounded before, Andrew's expression changed slightly, and he quickly looked in the direction of the sound.

"This is……"

After seeing the alarming machine, Andrew's expression changed drastically, and he muttered to himself, "WTF..."

"Andrew?"

Andrew's tone made the two "lying corpse" teammates aware of the problem.

Bruno quickly got up from his chair and walked towards Andrew: "What happened?"

Facing Bruno's inquiry, Andrew didn't answer, but just pointed to the screen in front of him.

On the radar map, a "giant monster" is rushing straight towards them!

"Holy shit..." Bruno's pupils shrank violently, and his eyes were full of horror.

After a brief moment of stupefaction, he cursed, "Damn it! What the fuck is this!"

Andrew had already sat back in his chair, looking nervously at the computer screen, typing on the keyboard quickly with both hands.

After more than ten seconds, he swallowed lightly.

"Damn... this thing is almost 80 meters long..."

"The flight speed has reached Mach 2!"

Joey's trembling voice came from the side: "This, this can't be an alien..."

Seeing the "UFO" getting closer and closer to the Mars module, everyone's eyes were full of fear.

Andrew gritted his teeth, reached out and grabbed the radio device on the side, and roared hoarsely.

"Pathfinder calling Houston! Pathfinder calling Houston!"

"We Spot UFOs! Repeat! We Spot UFOs!!"

"It's coming for us!!!"

Seeing the "UFO" displayed on the radar landed above the head of the Martian module, the fear in Andrew's voice seemed to materialize, echoing in the small No. [-] module.

1 minute later.

"It... has it gone?"

Joey closed his eyes tightly and asked in a trembling tone.

Andrew took courage, slightly opened his closed eyes, and glanced at the radar screen.

He was stunned.

"how is this possible……"

"Huh? Has it gone?!" Joy's eyes flashed with excitement, and he quickly opened his eyes and looked out the window.

"No...it didn't go away, it, it hovered above the Mars cabin!" Andrew looked at the scene in front of him with short breath, his face full of disbelief, "What does it want to do?!"

"Andrew... I think we made a mistake..."

Joey by the porthole looked back with a complicated face, and pointed to the sky: "This is not an alien."

"It's Xia Guo's spaceship!"

Andrew and Bruno were slightly taken aback.

After reacting, the two stood up abruptly from their chairs, walked to the porthole in three steps, and looked up.

All I saw was a dark black cuboid spaceship hovering above the Mars module.

On the side of the spacecraft, a bright red flag deeply hurt the pupils of the three American astronauts.

Chapter 119 This is just a notice, not a discussion

"Drip! Drip!"

"Unknown radio communication request detected."

Just as the three looked up at Xuannv No. [-] circling back and forth in the air, an electronic notification sound woke them up.

Andrew turned his head and glanced at the computer screen aside.

It is a commonly used radio frequency band in Xia Kingdom.

After looking at each other with his two teammates, Andrew took a deep breath and pressed the on button.

"Hello?"

"Hello, friends from the United States."

A fluent and standard English came from the radio.

Andrew was silent for a while, then reached out and grabbed the microphone: "Hello, this is the American Pathfinder."

The next moment, a clear response came: "This is Xia Guo Xuannv No. [-]!"

"We are about to go to the ZHZ72 crater for scientific research work, hereby remind everyone."

Andrew's pupils shrank slightly.

Crater ZHZ72.

Isn't this the next destination in the mission?

Before he had time to think, Andrew responded hastily: "Sorry, that's us..."

"This is just our notice, not a discussion!"

An extremely plain sentence came from the radio: "If our scientific research mission is hindered, we will implement some necessary expulsion methods. I hope you will think carefully."

As soon as the voice fell, the radio communication was cut off.

Looking at the rustling radio station in front of him, Andrew's face darkened instantly.

"They're gone." Joey looked out of the porthole and whispered, "Team...Captain, what should we do?"

Andrew walked quickly to the porthole, looked at the faint blue flame at the tail of Xuannv No. [-] from a distance through the glass, and took a deep breath: "What else can I do?"

"Get ready to report the situation!"

"Also...the ZHZ72 crater drilling plan is temporarily cancelled!"

……

"Brothers, what did I say just now? Domineering or not?"

Because of the excitement, Bai Yixuan's cheeks turned a little rosy: "Fuck... this feeling is so good!"

Hong Fan on the side curled his lips angrily: "Cut... I agreed to say something to one person, but you just told me everything!"

Looking at Hong Fan and Xia Wanyi's resentful gazes, the corners of Bai Yixuan's mouth twitched slightly, and he coughed lightly.

"Cough cough!"

"Next time, next time for sure!"

……

America.

Houston Ground Command Center.

"Hey...Call Houston..."

"Hey... UFO, repeat, we found a UFO!!"

The silence of the ground command center in Houston was broken by a sudden sound.

Hearing Andrew's words on the radio, Professor Chris' face changed drastically, and he grabbed the microphone on the side and responded loudly: "Pathfinder! Report the details!"

"Repeat! Report the details immediately!"

After putting down the microphone, Professor Chris' face was cloudy and uncertain, and he turned around and shouted to the researcher beside him, "Quick! Report the situation to Chief Moulton! And... Your Excellency the President!"

……

Mars module.

"...Report the details immediately!"

Hearing the belated inquiry on the radio, a bitter smile appeared in Andrew's eyes.

He picked up the microphone on the table again and reported what happened just now to the ground command center in detail.

Then, there was another long waiting time.

"Houston received!"

"Temporarily abandon the crater drilling plan, suspend all expedition missions, and wait for the notice!"

……

United States, White House.

Albert sat behind the desk with a calm expression.

"You mean, Xia Guo's Xuannv No. [-] has arrived on Mars and snatched away our scientific research goals?"

Moulton nodded vigorously, and said angrily, "Your Excellency, Xia Guo is too arrogant!"

"They even threatened to expel our astronauts!"

"Damn it, how dare they do that?!"

Facing Moulton's angry complaints, Albert's expression became more and more indifferent.

He waved his hand slowly: "Forget it, bear with it."

Albert's reaction obviously surprised Moulton.

Moulton looked at Albert in disbelief: "Your Excellency? You, what did you just say?!"

"Shin? Are you sure?"

"That's the scientific research goal of our country!"

Albert lowered his eyes slightly, and sighed softly: "Moulton, let me ask you, Xia Guo's Xuannv No. 15 should have set off [-] days ago, right?"

"It took only 15 days to fly from the earth to the sky above our Mars module."

"How long do you think it took us?"

Moulton suffocated suddenly: "But, but this is not..."

"Enough!" Albert reprimanded in a low voice.

"We have failed!"

"In this competition, we have completely lost!"

"Tell those astronauts to get them ready to come back."

Seeing that Moulton wanted to continue talking, Albert waved his hands tiredly: "Okay, Moulton, I'm tired."

"We have been dealing with each other for so long, let me give you a kind reminder."

"Let's think about the future."

The moment he heard these words, Moulton's expression was slightly shocked.

After a long silence, Moulton's eyes turned rosy, he nodded slightly, then turned and left the President's Office.

Seeing Moulton leave, Albert sighed deeply again, turned his head and said to the secretary beside him.

"Tell the media, tonight, I'm going to hold a press conference."

……

That night.

The White House, the scene of the press conference.
