Great Xia - Imperial Capital Protected City

"Hey~ Have you figured out the problem yet?" one researcher asked another.

"I don't understand. Heaven knows why that alien fleet would fire on a blank area after bombarding those teleportation channels," the man replied.

"Let's report this to our superiors," one of them said.

"No need, Number Two already knows." The door was pushed open, and an officer said.

"What did that person say?" the researcher asked.

"The planet Tailan has already been through so much; what's a few more aliens wanting to monopolize everything?"—these were the leader's exact words. The officer said.

“Indeed.” The researchers nodded in agreement.

"Ah, you're here. We just detected something using the national scanning detector." Another researcher walked over and connected his tablet to the large screen...

"Wind City? Hasn't it been occupied for a long time, and the survivors couldn't be rescued?" The officer glanced at the ravaged city in the video.

"No, look at the city center." The researcher clicked on a certain image...

"What massive war machines!" The officer instantly recognized the mechanical dragon in the video as a war machine.

"According to the scan, this thing suddenly appeared in the center of Wind City a week ago. Based on the residual energy in the city, it is very likely that this thing fought with the mutated organisms in the city once," the researcher said.

“While it is indeed a perfect war machine, what’s the point of looking at this?” another researcher asked.

"Data shows that the material information remaining on this object is 90% similar to that of the fleet on the far side of the moon," the researcher responded.

"It seems that the fleet has come to help, otherwise that mechanical dragon would have destroyed the city long ago instead of stopping its activities in the city center of Wind City," a researcher analyzed.

"Let's see what those people up there think," the officer said.

"That's the only way." The researchers nodded, indicating that the decision indeed had to be made by those at the top.

Unknown Plains - Imperial Forward Base

"That's weird, what just flashed by?" Xing scratched her face, feeling something brush against her, and laughed as if she felt a ticklish sensation.

"This planet possesses unique technology, similar to global scanning technology. It works in conjunction with satellites in orbit to detect the entire globe," the system said.

"The satellites of humans in this world are still usable? Doesn't that mean my fleet is exposed to humans?" Xing was stunned for a moment.

"There was nothing I could do. Those satellites were operating at the lowest power, so I ignored them. Who knew that the humans in this world had this trick up their sleeve?" the system replied with a shrug.

"The problems with those satellites made me re-examine what happened on this planet, and I discovered that apart from those who were turned into zombies, most of the survivors had hidden deep underground. There was also a city called the Imperial Capital that was a completely intact, purely human city without any invasion problems."

"Then I also discovered that the human technology in this world is not advanced. It was just that they were caught off guard by the large number of teleportation channels. When the zombie virus broke out, it infected many soldiers and the insects, which made the whole planet look like it was about to collapse."

"Sigh~ My bad, I thought it was just an ordinary Resident Evil-like world, so I didn't check the World Management Center's records much," the system sighed.

"Technology... they also said they'd send a large force in a few days to thoroughly clear the zombies and remaining insects from the surface. In that case, let's make contact with humans ahead of time. Speaking of which, can Deannara... never mind, I'm not counting on that princess who faints at the sight of a man." As Xing was speaking, she suddenly thought of something and abandoned her choice.

"System, can you send me a few people who look like they're in a proper class?" Xing asked the system with a grin.

"Go draw from the Wishing Pool," the system said after tossing out a gift pack.

"Yay!" Xing grabbed the gift pack and ran off to draw cards...

Then he ran back in less than a minute.

"What's wrong? Didn't you get what you wanted?" the system asked.

“Some ordinary diplomats from ancient and modern times, from China and abroad, don’t seem that impressive,” Xing replied, holding the gift bag.

"Why not open the gift pack?" the system asked curiously.

"Just about to open it..." Xing placed his hand on a certain spot on the gift bag, and then a flash of light appeared...

“Schneizel EL Britannia greets Her Majesty the Empress.” A handsome blond man bowed to Xing.

“So tall…” Xing looked up at Schneizel, who was slightly bent over but still very tall.

"Your Majesty flatters me," Schneizel replied gently.

“It is not advisable to praise Her Majesty the Empress too much, Your Highness,” a cool female voice rang out from the side.

"Layla Marukal greets you with honor, Your Majesty." A blonde girl in a distinctive military uniform saluted Xiang Xiang.

"Alright, I'll give you two a mission: to negotiate with the humans of this world. I don't care how you negotiate, and I don't care what happens to this world, as long as the humans don't interfere with the Imperial fleet's operations," Xing said.

“Yes, Your Majesty,” Schneizel replied gently.

Lunar Direction - Imperial Fleet

"Admiral, Her Majesty the Empress has sent a telegram. The fleet can now operate openly within the star system and can also land on planets," the adjutant reported from behind Okita Juzo.

"Understood. Have a patrol team conduct a tour of all cities suspected of being human survivor camps," Okita Juzo gave the order, seemingly having thought of something.

"Yes, Admiral." The adjutant left.

"A perfectly legitimate action? It's a pity that the city passage is about to open, otherwise I really would like to meet the humans of this world," Okita Juzo thought.

"Lieutenant, notify the base space to prepare a mobile fleet. The moment the city passage opens, fire a shot first, then rush in and see if you can take control of that area," Okita Juzo said.

"Yes, Admiral!"

…………

"Goodness, Okita Juzo is truly a Showa-era soldier; he doesn't think about anything else but charge ahead first," the system muttered.

"Huh?" Xing looked over.

"It's nothing, I just saw an officer who thinks the same way you do, and they're both thinking about taking over the world of the dead," the system said with a smile.

"Uh... I have nothing to say." Xing turned her head and continued doing her own thing.
