Captain, your ship has exploded again.
Chapter 676 Remorse Returns
The bright death ray made everyone present gasp.
It's not that they could tell how powerful the attack was, but rather that the beam of light could actually cross space to attack.
Taking advantage of everyone's shock, Zhang Xun said, "While the attack is underway, I'll explain why I killed people before. Those who know me should know that I don't kill people for trivial matters."
Zhang Xun looked contemptuously at the corpses being carried away and continued, "As for them, they are all trash bought off by the Walkers."
As she spoke, Aria, who had appeared silently from the side, presented the evidence they had collected to everyone.
There are photos and videos from various angles, many of which are taken directly at the face, practically showing everyone the evidence.
The reason she was able to do this was mainly because Ailiya combined her own expertise with Zhang Xun's technology to create a batch of spy-stealing devices.
These devices are, in some cases, more useful than the historical imaging equipment in Star Trek, since they are more timely.
The newly established department is not just about information gathering; most of its members also undergo training as ghost agents, making them proficient in both information gathering and assassination.
"The department has created a legend, as you have all witnessed. I do not want there to be traitors among humanity. This time I can be merciful and only exterminate their three clans. I hope you will not see me exterminate nine generations of their families."
Just as Zhang Xun finished speaking, one of the five probe satellites detected a spatial rift, and as the beam of light appeared, the selected planet was instantly blasted into fragments.
With that planet gone, the Death Star's second attack was fully charged.
Because the Starkiller Cannon was modified and obtained directly from the Men in Black, its speed and power are much stronger than the original.
The second attack was successfully launched, and this time Zhang Xun chose two adjacent colony planets as his targets.
Unlike the abandoned planets of the past, this place has well-developed defenses. If a fleet were to launch a forced attack, it would only result in heavy losses for the attackers, and they might even all be left there.
However, Zhang Xun's goal was to get them to activate the defense system. A half-abandoned planet with no resistance could not demonstrate the power of the Kingkiller Cannon.
When the first planet was destroyed, the Walkers activated all defenses on both colonies, and the fleets in the spaceports also deployed joint shields and took to the air in alert.
But this resistance proved utterly futile in the face of the Starkiller Cannon.
The first fleet-linked shield to come into contact with the enemy only bent slightly downwards as a symbolic gesture to show its presence and offer resistance before being carried away by the forked energy beams. As for the planetary shields that followed, they didn't last more than a few seconds either.
The energy weapon's attack split, which is not because the Death Star developed some kind of prostate, but because the two colony planets were too close together, and the planetary gravity caused the attack to be split. This is a function that the Starkiller cannon originally had.
Zhang Xun was very satisfied with the expressions on the faces of the people below: "There's no need to worry about this situation. It's a characteristic of this weapon. When it reaches the calculated coordinates, the attack will be split by the planet's gravity. Of course, this behavior is controllable. In other words, it can split the attack into more parts while losing power."
This statement astonished everyone present, since even humans themselves have never been able to make a weapon produce two bullet holes in a single shot.
Astute individuals may have already guessed that Zhang Xun possesses at least one more gravitational weapon (black holes are not easily detected in the space environment).
Meanwhile, due to the angle of the previous battle, the black hole bomb was not observed from the direction of Blue Star. It was assumed that the two sides had used some kind of technology, which caused the image to lag in the quadrant.
The Starkiller Cannon is practically a natural counter to the Walker race, a cosmic race that hides its true nature.
No matter how powerful the enemy civilization is, if they cannot defend against the Star Killer's attack, they are nothing more than meat on a chopping board without any depth.
The collapse of the two colony planets' cores directly destroyed everything within hundreds of millions of kilometers around them. At the same time, the loss of two planets caused the star system's overall operation to gradually turn into a catastrophe.
A star system nearly a light-year away was destroyed right before everyone's eyes. Even if the star system could hold on for a while longer, under the circumstances of gravitational disorder, destruction was inevitable and only a matter of time.
"If you understand this, you deserve applause."
Zhang Xun stretched out his arms in a very irritating manner, as if welcoming the flattery of the crowd, and also showing off his strength to others, telling all those with weak wills that even if they could escape from Blue Star, once the coordinates were confirmed, their so-called backers would be as laughable as their rickets.
"Tsk, I didn't expect you to start showing off after just a short absence? What, do you really think you're going to settle down here permanently?"
Yi Jiu's voice suddenly appeared in Zhang Xun's mind, causing Zhang Xun, who was smug just a second ago, to instantly lose his composure.
Because there were too many outsiders, Zhang Xun left the venue quickly with a bad expression, which seemed so sudden amidst the applause of the people below.
The sudden departure surprised Ailiya, who was supposed to continue cooperating with Zhang Xun. She watched him leave with some surprise, because the original script had more content to follow. Wouldn't leaving mean giving up everything?
However, being worldly-wise, she certainly wouldn't let Zhang Xun's plan be shelved, and immediately went up to the podium to continue the follow-up plan.
As Natal followed Zhang Xun back to the small conference room, she tentatively asked, "Is Yi Jiu back?"
Zhang Xun nodded. At this moment, he was unsure whether Yi Jiu was still the same Yi Jiu. Although she had disappeared from time to time before, it was all done through normal procedures. As for why he was nervous now, it was because Zhang Xun had not entered the Super Variant Universe through normal procedures. Compared to the previous universe, the loopholes were too great.
"Damn it, I went through so much trouble to get away from the inspection, and you treat me like this? Have you no conscience?"
The anger of resentment welled up in Zhang Xun's head.
Zhang Xun didn't easily believe the other party and asked in return, "Tell me something that only the two of us know."
"You doubt me?"
"It's not just for safety."
"You have to say it?"
"It must be, and it can only be, the kind of content that won't be recorded."
Yi Jiu understood Zhang Xun's concerns, and said in a somewhat dejected tone, "You spanked me with your ass, okay? Are you satisfied now?"
Zhang Xun shook his head and said, "No, that's just my business. Tell me something that you feel is the most embarrassing."
"There are a lot of embarrassing things to say, but the most embarrassing thing is that my older sister and I were... Damn, no, you don't even know the answer to this? Zhang Xun, you're trying to trick me!"
"Tsk."
"You bastard, you're just waiting to die! When we get back, I'll kill you, put you on an inverted cross, and explore your limits with all sorts of cannon calibers."
Zhang Xun merely picked at his earwax in response to Yi Jiu's roar. Once he confirmed it was her, he felt relieved.
Seeing this, Natal immediately stepped forward and asked, "Can we go back now?"
"Okay, we can return to our original universe now. Once we've settled things here, we'll leave."
Over the course of a year, Zhang Xun worked closely with the Chinese forces on Blue Star, and they built as many as 100,000 battleships.
Don't underestimate this number. You have to understand that Zhang Xun needs to repair Blue Star and the Moon while dealing with various problems. In addition, he also needs to leave behind a certain number of fleets. Of course, these fleets can only be developed and manufactured by China itself.
It's not that Zhang Xun didn't want to leave warships here, but rather that overly powerful warships wouldn't provide much security; they would only lead to humanity being wiped out by enemies it couldn't handle as it expanded.
The news that they would soon be leaving the Super Variant Universe was conveyed to everyone in the team and to the top officials of China.
"Are you really leaving?"
The old man sitting opposite Zhang Xun looked at Zhang Xun, and he too felt a sense of bewilderment when he learned of this news.
If we were to ask who on Earth has the most complex feelings towards Zhang Xun and his group, the top leadership of China would undoubtedly be number one.
Although the two sides had some similarities, Zhang Xun's presence was like a sword hanging over his head, intimidating the enemy while also making him feel uneasy. However, when the other party was about to leave, the old man hesitated because of his uncertainty about the future.
"There's no need to be too worried. I left behind a permanent planetary shield and two space defense fortresses on Earth. I also left a powerful weapon inside the newly built moon. Although I can't be sure that I killed every single Walker, these things are enough for you to protect yourselves."
The old man understood that Zhang Xun was right. Humanity's progress could not rely on any one person or external force. Only self-reliance and self-improvement were necessary conditions for survival in the Milky Way.
The old man looked at Zhang Xun with concern and asked, "What about those Cybertronians?"
Zhang Xun crossed his legs, a sinister smile playing on his lips, and said, "Of course, we're 'sending' them away."
