I am the Holy Poisoner, the Empress advised me to calm down

"It does sound critical... but can just a few of us change anything?" another technician muttered quietly, an uncertain expression on his face.

However, Li Wei seemed very excited: "How will we know if we don't try it? Besides, don't we have more allies now? I think this is an opportunity for humans to demonstrate their strength and courage."

Hearing this, everyone present was inspired and their eyes on each other became more determined.

"Well, then, let's face everything that might happen next together." Lin Chen made a decisive conclusion. "But remember to pay attention to safety, don't underestimate the enemy, and be ready to fight at any time. What do you think?"

After receiving everyone's unanimous response, Shen Shiyan added:

"Then please let us follow these interstellar friends on this unknown journey. Perhaps the future awaits us not only with dangers and challenges, but also with unexpected opportunities and growth..."

At this moment, the soldiers from afar seemed to have received some kind of signal, nodded at the same time, and turned to walk towards the huge spaceship that had just landed.

As the hatch slowly closed again, the entire scene returned to its original tranquility, but there was a mixture of expectation and uneasiness in the air.

"I wonder what fate we will face..." someone whispered.

"No matter what," Li Wei said, looking at the aircraft gradually disappearing from sight, "as long as we unite as one, there's nothing to be afraid of. The most important thing is..." She paused, "no matter what happens, we have to come back alive to tell the story!"

Then, a burst of light and hurried footsteps broke the brief silence...

A breathless technician ran into the crowd and shouted, "Oh no! We just discovered signs of activity from unknown forces on the other side of the city!"

Everyone was shocked after hearing this. Lin Chen frowned: "So fast? It seems that the situation is more complicated than we imagined..."

"That's right, and they seem to be targeting us specifically," the technician explained hastily. "We have to find a way to deal with it quickly!"

At this moment, Xiao Liu patted his friends on the shoulders, his smile filled with a defiant spirit: "Hey, buddies, they say a friend in need is a friend indeed. This is the perfect moment to witness our true friendship!"

"That's right!" Shen Shiyan responded, his eyes determined. "We can't let this city fall into crisis at any cost. Quick, let's split up and make plans after we understand the situation!"

Just as everyone dispersed to prepare their next strategy, a strange red light suddenly appeared at the end of the sky...

And all this was just the beginning. A strange red light grew increasingly apparent at the horizon, like some ominous omen. Everyone's faces grew tense and serious, each feeling an unprecedented sense of urgency. At this moment, the technician who had just finished reporting the situation spoke again, his voice trembling, "That red light... seems to be moving rapidly towards us!"

Xiao Liu couldn't help but curse: "Damn it, what the hell is going on? One problem after another!"

Li Wei clenched her fists and looked at everyone firmly, "We must act quickly. No matter what, we must not let the citizens panic."

"That's right!" Lin Chen nodded, his eyes firm. "Let's split up. One group will stay behind to evacuate the people and prepare defensive measures; the other group will follow me to investigate the details of that unknown force. Remember to keep communications open and call for help at any time if danger arises."

Shen Shiyan added, "Also, try not to expose your own strength easily. If there really is an enemy with bad intentions, it is crucial to first understand their purpose."

As the order was given, the crowd quickly split into two groups. The remaining team began to organize the evacuation of the citizens in an orderly manner and set up simple roadblocks to prevent accidents. Meanwhile, the expedition team led by Lin Chen prepared to set off in the direction of the red light.

We encountered many panicked people along the way. An old man approached and asked, "Young man, is there any danger approaching? Where should we flee?"

Chen Xiang patiently soothed him, "Don't worry, old man. The government has activated the emergency plan. Please come with us to the nearest safe zone. There are sufficient resources there to ensure your safety."

A young man nearby seemed even more curious and excited. "Hey, guys, I heard there was an alien spaceship earlier? And now there's this red thing... This world is really crazy!"

The technician smiled helplessly and replied, "It's certainly exciting. But the most important thing right now is to ensure everyone gets through this safely. So please follow the instructions and head to the shelter as soon as possible."

After a period of intense but orderly arrangements, all residents were successfully relocated to a temporary resettlement site. Just as the expedition team approached the red light, several cracks suddenly appeared in the ground—and from them emerged a group of giant insect-like creatures!

A young woman screamed, "Oh my God! What the hell are these things?"

Faced with the sudden situation, Xiao Liu immediately entered combat mode and shouted to his teammates: "Everyone, be careful! These look like mutant monsters. Keep your distance and use ranged attacks to take them out!"

Shen Shiyan calmly analyzed the situation. "Observe the surrounding environment and the weaknesses of these monsters, and then find the right opportunity to attack."

At that moment, a particularly large alien creature rushed towards them, emitting a low roar. Lin Chen decisively pulled out the energy gun he carried at his waist, aimed at the target, and pulled the trigger. A dazzling blue-white beam of light pierced directly through the alien's head, knocking it to the ground instantly.

"Well done!" A passerby watching nearby couldn't help but exclaim, "You are simply heroes!"

Another uncle asked the person next to him with a worried look on his face: "Do you think... these people can really defeat those terrible things?"

The person next to him comforted him, "I believe it will be possible. After all, even aliens came to help, right? It means there is still hope for us."

As time went on, more and more strange phenomena appeared in different areas. Lin Chen and his team gradually took control of the situation through efficient cooperation. Just as the last wave of monsters was about to be eliminated, a series of hurried but familiar footsteps were heard...

The technician came running over, panting, reporting, "This is bad! The latest monitoring results show that an unusually powerful energy reaction source has been discovered on the edge of the city... I'm afraid this is the real enemy behind this!"
