Chapter 221: 1 Man and 3 Women
"Mommy, come quick! There's a little bee!" A little boy pointed to the left side of the blue planet's halo.
"Don't talk nonsense, there aren't any bees here."
"No, Mom, there are bees outside, come and see!"
Hearing the little boy's cry, the child's mother and others ran over. Through the gleaming glass windows of the space city, forty or fifty people were astonished to see a bee-shaped spaceship moving rapidly towards the blue planet. To the upper left of the blue planet was a large moon.
The words "aliens" and "alien spaceships" quickly spread throughout the space city. People anxiously awaited the council's announcement.
In the council room of Space City, seven people sat around a round table.
“Congressman Li Li, I oppose sending people to Earth to explore and search for that spaceship. Earth is still very dangerous.”
“Consul Sophia, now that an alien spaceship has suddenly appeared, I don’t think our space city can be safe for long. A large interstellar fleet may appear soon.”
"Our space city's defenses are extremely weak, and it's impossible for us to fight against an alien fleet. Let alone defend ourselves, we're in dire need of protection. The space city's remaining oxygen supply can only last us four months. If we don't find a way out, we'll all die in the space city, and human civilization will perish in my hands."
"Speaker, I suggest another round of large-scale population reduction and the execution of those serious criminals."
“This is something we can consider.” Chu Tianxiong remained silent. As the tenth chairman of the Space City Council, he did not want humanity to become extinct during his term.
"Is it possible—and I mean possible—that the aliens on that spaceship could also be killed by nuclear radiation?"
"Our scientists have told us that it will be another ten years before we can return to Earth and breathe safely, as Earth is still heavily contaminated by nuclear radiation. Whether aliens are immune to nuclear radiation is really hard to guess."
"Speaker, I believe the appearance of the alien spaceship is an opportunity to save us."
"Congressman Li Li, why do you say that?"
"Speaker, everyone, given that our space city's oxygen supply will only last for four months, even if we implement several rounds of population reduction plans, we can only sustain ourselves for a year at most. Rather than waiting to die here, we might as well take the risk and send people to Earth to find that spaceship. Perhaps the aliens will save us or give us a chance to save ourselves."
"Your idea is a bit absurd. Aliens will save us? It's a good thing they won't destroy us."
"But aliens aren't necessarily all malicious."
"You two stop arguing, let's vote by raising our hands. Same rules as always, a majority vote is needed for it to pass. Raise your hand if you agree to send someone to Earth."
Of the seven councilors in Space City, including the speaker, four raised their hands.
"Congressman Loz, please prepare a spaceship and send special forces to Earth."
"Yes, Speaker. I will arrange for Muko to take people to Earth immediately."
Two hours later, a spaceship carrying sixteen special forces soldiers was launched from the space city.
The spacecraft, rubbing intensely against Earth's atmosphere like a fireball, hurtled towards the ground. At an altitude of one kilometer, the spacecraft's thrusters kicked in, initiating a slow descent, and it soon landed.
Sixteen special forces soldiers, clad in heavy protective suits, helmets, carrying oxygen tanks and bags, stepped out of the spaceship. Their eyes lit up as their feet touched the soft earth; the feeling of solid ground beneath their feet was wonderful. The special forces spaceship landed in an open area within a forest.
The group saw that the forest was not very large, but the trees were very tall, and they could see some small insects flying around, including dragonflies. However, these dragonflies seemed to be quite large, and their bodies were a bright red with a hint of dark green.
"Everyone, maintain a high level of alert and form alert and combat formations," Muko gave the order.
"Yes, sir."
"Tommy, prepare to probe and search for that bee-shaped spaceship."
"Yes, sir." A young man led two special forces soldiers into the spaceship. The three of them carried out a heavy piece of equipment and placed it on the ground. Tommy began to open the equipment's protective shield, pressed several buttons on the panel, and the display screen lit up. Eighteen red dots appeared on the screen. In the lower left corner of the screen, there was a larger red dot and sixteen smaller red dots, representing the sixteen special forces soldiers and their spaceship. In the upper right corner of the screen, there was a large red dot and four small red dots. The large red dot should be the bee-shaped spaceship, and the four small red dots should be the alien creatures.
"Sir, the bee-shaped spaceship and four alien creatures are at the one o'clock position, about... about nine hundred meters away from us."
"Tommy, you're in charge of the imaging device. Xiao Jian and Park So-yeon, you two are in charge of the spaceship. The rest of you, come with me."
"Yes, sir."
The thirteen men set off, using the tall trees as cover. They moved slowly, and when they were about to emerge from the woods, they stopped and used the trees as cover. Four special forces soldiers took out gun parts from their bags, quickly assembled a sniper rifle, set it up, and aimed it at the four men.
Muko, holding binoculars, observed the situation ahead. He noticed a line of symbols on the hull of the bee-shaped spaceship, but he didn't recognize them. Looking closer, he was utterly astonished. Standing at the bow of the bee-shaped spaceship were four aliens. They weren't wearing protective suits or helmets. What surprised them even more was that these four aliens were human—one man and three women. The man was young, one woman was about the same age as him, and the other two women appeared older. The man and three women were peering towards the woods, seemingly waiting for them to approach. The other twelve special forces soldiers were equally incredulous, all staring at Muko, awaiting his orders.
Suddenly, the man waved towards the woods in a greeting gesture. All thirteen people were startled.
Then, an incredible sight appeared: the bee-shaped spaceship suddenly shrank, and the thirteen special forces soldiers quickly increased the magnification of their binoculars. The spaceship, which was about thirty meters long, had actually turned into a small bee and flew into the man's shirt pocket!
Muko and the group of special forces soldiers felt dizzy. When they calmed down and looked again, a man and three women had already walked more than ten meters and were walking towards the woods.
"Sir, sir, please be aware that four alien creatures are approaching you." Tommy's voice came through the earpiece.
"Tommy, we understand. Don't call out, keep quiet."
“Yes, sir,” Tommy replied softly.
Muko felt beads of sweat on his forehead, his breathing became heavier, and the fog on his mask thickened.
"Fire!" Muko finally gave the order.
Four bullets whistled as they shot towards the man and three women, the crisp sound of gunfire echoing throughout the sky.
Among the four, the younger, more beautiful woman stretched out her right hand, spun her palm, and slapped it down. The whistling bullets all curved downwards, kicking up a cloud of dust on the ground in front of her before disappearing into the ground.
Muko and his men were stunned by what they saw. The four snipers, unsure whether to continue firing, awaited Muko's orders.
Muko gestured for everyone to remain still, then slowly opened his helmet visor. Everyone was startled, but Muko immediately felt a refreshing coolness and took a few deep breaths. After a minute without any adverse reactions, he simply removed his helmet and protective suit. Muko noticed that the four aliens were only four hundred meters away.
Muko immediately ordered everyone to remove their helmets and protective suits. After removing their helmets, protective suits, and oxygen tanks, each person took a deep breath, feeling as excited as Muko. Of course, they knew that four aliens were approaching them. So the thirteen people quickly took out pistol and submachine gun parts from their bags, assembled them quickly, and then loaded the bullets.
Thirteen men, each carrying a gun, stepped forward and emerged from the woods.
When the fully armed special forces appeared, the four aliens did not show any surprise or panic. Instead, they continued walking towards them, at which point they were only about 100 meters away from the special forces.
"Hey, stop!" Muko shouted. He didn't care whether the four aliens understood his language or not. After shouting, he fired his gun into the air. The machine gun fire was deafening. The others pointed their guns at the four, ready to fire without mercy at Muko's command.
The four aliens indeed stopped, and Muko breathed a sigh of relief.
The thirteen people began to surround the four aliens in a fan shape. When they were about ten meters away, they all stopped. The four aliens didn't make any big moves, just watched them surround them. Among the four aliens, the handsome man suddenly spoke, "Mukko, hello."
Muko and the others looked at him in surprise. The handsome man smiled slightly and said, "Muko, don't misunderstand, we mean no harm."
"who are you?"
“We are messengers sent by God to save you.”
The group exchanged glances. The young alien beauty had deflected the bullets to the ground with her hand—it seemed like an inexplicable "divine power," though it was also possible that an invisible shield had deflected the bullets. But what about that little bee-shaped spaceship?
Seemingly sensing their hesitation, the handsome man raised his hands, then snapped his fingers with his right hand, leaving the others puzzled. Muko and the other three special forces soldiers noticed a creature peeking out of the man's pocket, followed by its entire body—a small bee!
"Oh dear, why are there so many people?" The little bee fluttered its wings and flew out of the pocket. This little bee could actually speak, and in a language that Muke and the others could understand. The hands holding the guns trembled slightly.
"Sage, shall I deal with them?" The little bee flew to Muko, slid down the barrel of Muko's gun, and was right under Muko's nose, buzzing.
Muko gritted his teeth and grabbed with his left hand, but the little bee seemed to have a premonition and flew directly onto the top of Muko's head.
"Little bee, come down, stop being naughty."
"Yes, Sage." The little bee flew down from Mu Ke's head, wiggled its bottom in front of Mu Ke, and flew to Zhou Yuan's shoulder, staring at Mu Ke and the others with its little eyes.
"Brothers, aren't you tired of holding guns?" Panna asked with a smile. As soon as she finished speaking, the thirteen men suddenly felt as if they had been electrocuted, and they all dropped their guns. The thirteen dropped guns instantly rose, hovered in the air, and turned their heads, pointing at the thirteen men. The thirteen men quickly raised their hands.
"Let's go." Zhou Yuan stepped forward and began walking towards the landing site of the special forces spaceship. The three beautiful women walked alongside Zhou Yuan, ignoring the thirteen people behind them. The thirteen people continued to raise their hands, forced to follow behind Zhou Yuan and his group, as the thirteen guns overhead remained pointed at them and moved in sync with their steps.
