Ultra: Dragon Sword Journey

Chapter 74 There are no winners in war, only losers.

Above, the battle against the Lightning Man has begun. This operation has brought together the power of the world and vowed to annihilate the Lightning Man in one fell swoop. Whether in the sky or underground, everyone is going all out for this joint operation.

Following Director Sawai's order, the entire world, like a group of ferocious falcons, tightly surrounded the fighter planes and the space battleship near the Lightning Man's nest and opened fire at the same time.

In an instant, the sky was illuminated by countless colorful lasers. Various types of lasers and light cannons poured down on the Lightning Man's nest like a rainstorm and exploded. The strange dark clouds fled in all directions like a frightened flock of sheep, but there was still a long way to go to completely eliminate them.

As the two Feiyan IIs and the Atlantis launched another attack, shooting towards the clouds like sharp arrows, the clouds began to rise slowly like hot air balloons.

"What?" Seeing that this attack had little effect, Xincheng said in astonishment.

"Idiot, hurry up and prepare the second missile." Jujing shouted anxiously through the communication, quickly operating the facilities inside the aircraft, preparing to launch the Texas beam again.

However, the launch preparations for Atlantis were not so quick!

"Jujing, now that things have come to this, we have no choice but to go together!" Xincheng hurriedly contacted Jujing on the other side and said.

"Wait, the shape of the cloud is so strange, and it's starting to rise gradually!" Lina looked at the clouds in front of her in astonishment. Like a group of frightened birds, they quickly rose to where she was.

"Lina, are you done yet? It already looks strange!" Xin Cheng thought she was starting to show sympathy again when he heard this. But this was a cruel battlefield!

This astonishing scene wasn't confined to this area; it unfolded simultaneously across the globe. Clouds in every corner of the world, as if summoned by some mysterious force, began to rise in altitude. At this moment, the lightning men, like angels, gracefully emerged from the Earth's thick atmosphere.

"Stop the attack temporarily. The clouds observed around the world are gradually rising and seem to have all left the Earth's atmosphere!" Inside the No. 2 machine, Captain Jiao decisively conveyed the director's instructions and conveyed this shocking news to the team members through communication equipment.

"This... is this true? Are we just going to watch them leave and stop chasing them? Will they come back?" Jujing and Xincheng asked anxiously on the other end of the communication channel.

After all, the range of the lightning people's activities has always been believed to be within the ionosphere, where they live. Now these lightning people have taken the initiative to leave their familiar environment, which is really incredible.

However, Lina replied in an unusually calm tone, "No, they won't come back. Never, because the Lightning People have completely lost faith in the Earth—or more precisely, in us humans.

It was precisely out of this despair and disappointment that they resolutely chose to leave the planet they once considered their home. Her words struck everyone like a hammer, plunging them into deep contemplation.

It can be seen that lightning man nests around the world are escaping the atmosphere like a swarm of locusts and gathering in outer space.

Finally, the last Lightning Man's nest successfully joined forces with the largest nest, and a huge dark cloud covering the sky and the sun suddenly appeared in outer space. Even the Atlantis, the largest battleship of mankind, was like a drop in the ocean in front of this cloud.

The cloud circled back and forth in the Earth's orbit several times, just like a wanderer bidding farewell to his hometown, and then flew into the vast universe without hesitation.

At this point, the Lightning People have completely bid farewell to their home planet on which they depend for survival. Humans have finally succeeded in expelling the intelligent life forms that once lived together on Earth - the Lightning People. From now on, the only intelligent creatures on Earth except for monsters will be humans.

I still remember the classic line from Thunderbolt when watching The Adventures of Lolo: "There are no winners in war, only losers."

Hegel also said: "The only lesson that mankind has learned from history is that mankind does not learn lessons from history."

History repeats itself in cycles, and human desires, like a bottomless pit, grow ever stronger and deeper. As for where history will go in the future, and whether humanity will play with fire and burn itself after expelling the Lightning Man, perhaps only time will tell...

After the war, TPC staff were like hardworking bees, cleaning up the battlefield full of remains. The casualties and property losses caused by the monsters that wreaked havoc like a demon were like ruins that needed to be slowly restored.

Zhao Ming also exchanged some strange words with Da Gu, like a quirky chef: "For example, how to swing a sword to cut a monster into pieces as beautiful as a work of art, which parts of the monster are more delicious, and how to combine elements to unleash the maximum power like a volcanic eruption!"

Suddenly, a scream rang out like thunder. It turned out to be our beautiful nurse Mayumi, who dropped the medical supplies she was carrying on the ground like flowers scattered from the sky.

"Hey! Look who this is? Isn't this our good friend Mayumi?" Zhao Ming deliberately shouted as loud as a bell, with a cunning and evil smile on his face like a fox.

"Zhao Ming! You...you bastard, you must have done this on purpose! Why don't you come and help me." Mayumi looked up and glared at him with eyes as sharp as knives. Then she dropped the things in her hand and kicked him hard in the calf like an angry little lion.

"Hey... Dagu is laughing too. Why are you targeting only me? This is too unfair." Zhao Ming touched the place where she kicked him and said with a resentful look like a nagging woman, then turned to look at Dagu.

The kid Dagu was even more unruly. He actually blew a whistle as pleasant as a bird's song and looked up at the sky as if there was some rare treasure there, completely ignoring the scene in front of him.

"Hey...can you be a little more normal? Look at the way you were just now. It was unbearable. I got goosebumps all over the floor!

"Also, my idol Maya, she's so outstanding, beautiful, and has such a great temperament, how could her taste be so bad? She actually fell for a guy like you!" Mayumi said, glaring at him fiercely with extremely contemptuous eyes.

Zhao Ming was not happy to hear this. He immediately retorted, "Oh, you're really going too far! I was kind enough to help you pick up the things you dropped, but not only did you not appreciate it, you even attacked me personally!

"Look at your own face, it's just like a little cat, covered in black ashes!" Zhao Ming pointed at Mayumi's face and laughed.

Mayumi suddenly felt very aggrieved and distressed. She frowned and explained, "Ugh... I didn't want to be like this! It's all because I accidentally got into this while rescuing people. This is such a dangerous battlefield, many situations are completely unpredictable!

We were lucky enough to rescue some people, but some were unlucky enough to be hit by the monsters and were blown to pieces!" When she said this, Mayumi's voice trembled. It was obvious that this experience had left her with a great psychological trauma.

Seeing Mayumi so upset, Zhao Ming couldn't help but feel a pang of guilt. He scratched his head, then waved his hand in a feigned magnanimity, muttering something. Suddenly, a sphere emitting a faint blue light flew out of his hand and flew straight towards Mayumi's face.

In the blink of an eye, the blue sphere seemed to have magical powers and quickly cleaned the black ashes on Mayumi's face.

At this time, Daigu came over, smiled, rearranged the box that Mayumi had been holding, and handed it to her.

He said gently, "Come here, Mayumi. Your things have been packed for you, so take them."

Mayumi gratefully accepted the box and nodded gently. "Thank you!" She smiled, her teeth bared, and turned back to her work.

"Look at Xincheng, he looks like a fool, but his sister is quite likable! How can the difference between these two siblings be so big? One is as smart, lively and cute as an elf, while the other seems to be mentally retarded." Zhao Ming asked with a look of suspicion on his face.

"You ask me? How would I know?" Dagu rubbed his head and laughed, clearly sharing the same sentiment. After Zhao Ming's tireless training, Dagu had successfully surpassed Xincheng in intelligence. He was no longer one of the crash duo!

After a while, "Okay, everyone assemble. Return to the base immediately!" Zongfang quickly gave the order. Except for the logistics personnel responsible for cleaning up the rubble, everyone else should return to the base immediately.

After returning to the base, Zhao Ming, like a triumphant hero, reported the explosive gun's test results to Dr. Jiancun and returned home like a bird returning to its nest. The Flash Man incident had finally come to an end, and Earth had returned to its former tranquility.

On this day, a test aircraft at the TPC base flew into space like an arrow from a bow, in the command room.

"The test aircraft driven by Xincheng has successfully passed through the atmosphere and, like a shining star, has safely entered the orbit preset by the computer!" Lina excitedly reported the actual situation of the test aircraft to everyone.

Kei Iruma and his companions sat at their desks, their positions like stars surrounding the moon. They stared intently at the live image of outer space beamed back from the main screen. In the image, Shinjou looked like a lone explorer, piloting a test aircraft as it drifted through the vastness of space.

"This is Xincheng. We are now conducting the third test of the New Max power system." Xincheng was wearing a fully armed pressure-resistant suit, and his voice was sonorous and powerful, as if declaring his determination to the universe.

"Team member Xincheng, we are looking forward to your safe return! It seems that Zhao Ming has some surprises waiting for us and is ready to take us to enjoy that exciting adventure again." Dagu looked at Xincheng on the screen, his eyes flashing with anticipation.

"Yes, the monster meat last time was like a delicacy, which made people linger on the taste!" Jujing licked his lips, as if he could still feel the wonderful taste.

"Really? I also sincerely hope that this test can be successfully completed, and then... hehehe..." He showed a silly smile. Xincheng was also full of expectations. In this world, only beautiful women and tempting food should not be missed. Since there is no beauty to accompany him for the time being, he can only enjoy the temptation of food to his heart's content.

"Then I will start the new Max engine and prepare to test the stability and speed." Xincheng's expression instantly became serious, and he pressed the test button on the test machine without hesitation.

However, the moment the new Max power system was activated, something unexpected happened. The signal seemed to be interfered with by an invisible hand, and some inexplicable problems occurred.

"What is going on? Why is there a sudden problem with the signal?" Xincheng muttered to himself, a hint of confusion and uneasiness in his voice.

Suddenly, a melodious music sounded, like the sound of nature, echoing in front of the cockpit.

At the same time, a bright light suddenly appeared, as if the gate of the universe had quietly opened, and the figure of an alien seemed to appear faintly within. Xincheng's eyes suddenly widened, his face full of astonishment, and he couldn't help but let out a scream.

"Zizizizi..." In the command room, Ikuma Hui and others were surprised to see that the main screen seemed to be swallowed by gray electric current, and the originally clear live picture of outer space disappeared without a trace in an instant.

The signal from the Xincheng driving test machine was completely disconnected, like a kite with a broken string.

"Team Shinjo, please reply. What happened?" Iruma Kei's brows furrowed as she anxiously called out through the communication device, but her voice fell on deaf ears, with no response. Her gaze shifted to Lina and Nori at the control panel.

"The test aircraft must have encountered an abnormal situation and has deviated from the path preset by the computer. According to the images sent back by the satellite, it is falling rapidly towards the ground!" There was a hint of panic in Lina's voice.

"Can you find out what the specific situation is?" There was a hint of urgency in Iruma Kei's voice.

"It's still unknown, but the test aircraft piloted by the Xincheng team is expected to crash into a mountain forest in just a few minutes. Fortunately, the autopilot system in the cabin took over in time, and there's a high probability that no one's life is in danger."

Ye Rui was operating nervously in front of the console, beads of sweat oozing from his forehead, and there was a hint of relief in his voice.

"Huh..." Everyone on the Victory Team breathed a sigh of relief, causing the temperature in the room to rise significantly.

Soon, TPC's search and rescue aircraft located Xincheng's test aircraft. Both the crew and the aircraft were safe. Xincheng was only temporarily unconscious and had been taken to a medical center.
