Chapter 333: Chapter 332: Humans, Haven’t Surrendered!

Upon hearing the news of human surrender, all Badit people were fervently celebrating their tremendous victory!

Some were already counting on their fingers, calculating just how much money they could make from this plunder, what spoils of war they could acquire, how much profit they could earn, and so on. Thinking of all the benefits of promotions and wealth, their mouths twisted into happy arcs, and their eyes began to shine with excitement!

Within the Badit Mother Ship, a soldier observed the “Yingsun 1”, its engines damaged, surging towards the direction of Kunlun Mountain. For the sake of the Mother Ship’s safety, he quickly escalated the security report.

“Reporting to the Commander, this warship has crossed the established safety distance!”

“Tell them their Mother Ship has surrendered, the war has ended, leave quickly!”

“…Commander, it’s not that the human warship doesn’t want to leave, rather…it seems our drone has hit its nuclear engine! Only one auxiliary engine is still functioning, and it lacks the capability to significantly correct its trajectory.”

“Hmm… Is that so…”

Upon hearing this fact, the commander of the Badit Civilization felt a bit irked. Usually, for the safety of the Mother Ship, they would directly order an attack without hesitation.

But it seemed as though a peace treaty had just been signed, and if they went back on their word now…

It wasn’t that they couldn’t…

But that would definitely lead to fighting again.

“This civilization called humans has now surrendered. If we continue to order attacks on their warships, even fools would resist again. Surrender is to obtain life; if this condition can’t be met, there’s no need to surrender.”

The commanders exchanged glances, weighing the pros and cons. If humans were to start resisting again, even if the Badit Civilization eventually claimed victory, Kunlun Mountain would certainly suffer more damage… By then, while others would be getting their promotions and riches, these culprits would be blamed and punished.

“But what if that warship suddenly attacks?”

“If it’s just hit by lasers, there should be no issue. If they launch a nuclear bomb, it can be easily intercepted.”

They were hesitating, hesitating…

The ultimate contest between two civilizations was actually being decided by a few officials of low military rank, and most importantly, this fellow was unaware, still calculating the risks he faced…

“What’s the current trajectory of this spaceship, how close will it come to us?”

“Only 30,000 kilometers.”

The officer cursed inwardly, glanced at the “Cease Attack” signal lights flickering on the Kunlun Mountain’s hull, and pondered deeply.

“Pass this report to His Highness!”

A few seconds later, the message was relayed.

Prince Bart was immersed in the joy of victory, not paying much attention to this kind of report.

“Oh… a spaceship with its engine blasted by us is falling this way? You judge and resolve it yourselves. Just don’t let them get too close, maintain sufficient vigilance.”

“Right, surround it with drones for monitoring; now that the enemy has surrendered, that spaceship seems like our property… But be cautious, at the slightest sign of trouble, attack immediately and destroy it!”

“Yes!”

The Badit people had almost absolute faith in the destructive capabilities of the Ten-thousand-year Worm. In the absence of communication, surely this human warship wouldn’t defy orders and fight to the last, right?

And what if they did attack? These drones could easily intercept the slowly approaching nuclear bombs.

After receiving the feedback report, the soldier roared, “His Highness has issued an order, inform them with light signals to leave quickly, the farther away, the better, or else we’ll have to attack!!”

…

Meanwhile, inside Kunlun Mountain, Zhang Yuan and others were bringing their act to a climax!

He had already encountered members of this hostile civilization, generally about two meters in height, with octopus-like heads, multiple tentacles, and indistinct body structures due to their Power Armor.

Zhang Yuan’s face was flooded with a sycophantic, death-fearing smile, as he urged rows upon rows of human soldiers to remove their Power Armor and lay down their weapons.

“Drop it, drop it quickly! That’s an order!” Military officer Colonel Ye Junchang was sternly urging.

“Take it off! That’s an order! Do you want to doom all humankind?”

Signs of mutiny were already faintly emerging within the military ranks, only forcibly suppressed by the authority of past commands.

Zhang Yuan forced a “shiver”, feigning utter cowardice. Perhaps the aliens were smiling at this? Or maybe they were mocking the cowardly and helpless humans?

Indeed, only such psychological warfare could completely break the spine of a civilization. Otherwise, these aliens could have simply stayed hidden behind their robots rather than personally coming out to transfer the control of the spaceship.

Zhang Yuan saw many soldiers silently crying and trembling, on the verge of collapse.

They simply couldn’t believe the human leadership would choose to surrender!

Yet the truth was laid out before their eyes, undeniable.

“Yes, such a grand plan couldn’t possibly be known by everyone…”

Brothers, just hold on a little longer.

Just hold on a little longer!

“So, leader of human civilization. Please provide the password for the central command vault and hand over management authority of the spaceship. We are willing to release half of your population to return to your Mother Star.”

“Here is the mainframe key for the command center; the related repair work is still ongoing, so please wait a bit longer…” Zhang Yuan timidly extended one hand with a small controller on it and then opened up a nearby computer, “This is our human civilization’s language… Let me introduce it to you here…”

“I hope you can keep your promise and spare our lives!”

The contempt in this Badit’s eyes grew deeper as he chuckled, “Rest assured, rest assured, as long as you cooperate with our work, our civilization has always treated prisoners of war well!”

…

Yingsun One was speeding through the universe, leaving a dark trail against the dim void. The molten metal from the melted engines hadn’t yet completely cooled down.

“Captain, the enemy is telling us to keep our distance… or they will attack!”

“Fuck that!”

“We are about to reach the closest distance!”

“We are entering the drone encirclement, but they haven’t attacked yet. Shit, they are being very cautious!”

“Oh, I see… Liu, don’t be so tense. It seems their bottom line is still quite significant!”

Li Junkang, with a false smile, said, “Introduce a bit of impurity into our chemical fuel and then slightly reduce the power…”

“Impurity?” It took the soldier a long while to understand, “Captain, are you trying to fake damage to the auxiliary engine? But will they believe it?”

“Fuck that!”

Buzz!

Yingsun One’s chemical engine also started to emit black smoke!

At such a moment, it was impossible not to feel nervous; it was a complete test of the enemy’s limits!

A huge fleet of Badit drones immediately re-encircled, with the closest one monitoring Yingsun One’s movements from just a few kilometers away.

“Shit!” Everyone cursed at these damn drones, all of them feeling anxious and fearful, under the watchful eyes of the drones, they had no idea if their plan would succeed.

An attack on Yingsun One would mean a minor loss of soldiers, but a wrong move could ruin all the plans!

Li Junkang had no idea what the so-called feigned surrender entailed, but he knew, just thinking about it, that the plan was highly intricate, and if anything went wrong, humanity was doomed!

Meanwhile, inside the Badit spaceship, a group of observation soldiers were also in a frantic argument.

Some were saying, “We must report to the Prince immediately; this distance is too dangerous”; others argued, “This wrecked ship will fly past in a few seconds, no need to make such a fuss, just be careful”; some were even indulging in a grand celebration party…

Fifty thousand kilometers…

Forty thousand kilometers!

Thirty thousand kilometers!

Li Junkang felt every hair on his body stand on end, success or failure hinged on this moment.

This surprise attack included the lives of eight million humans; he had never felt such a heavy burden, his heart pounding wildly.

Suddenly, the surface of Kunlun Mountain flashed brightly, clearly from laser weapons being activated! Under this concentrated fire, the drones near Yingsun One burst into brilliant red blossoms, instantly destroyed, with some lasers even hitting Yingsun One.

But that no longer mattered; with this divine coordination, Li Junkang was ecstatic, the success rate for the surprise attack would undoubtedly increase significantly without the damned drones nearby!

All the soldiers erupted into loud cheers.

It was as if a shout echoed through the void!

“Fire!”

“Launch the all-out attack, full army strike!”

Massive numbers of nuclear warheads prepared for this moment were unleashed in a frenzy, initiating the final assault! Even drones and rescue ships were launched en masse, commencing kamikaze attacks.

In that instant, the enemy’s spaceship also reached peak alert, with countless interception lasers sweeping across!

The first nuclear explosion’s flash was born in the void, not from being intercepted by lasers but from an electromagnetic pulse bomb, which could disrupt radar operations and greatly reduce the efficiency of laser interceptions.

Faced with the copious nuclear flashes, the soldiers on the Badit Civilization’s Mother Ship were stunned too, especially since Kunlun Mountain had regained a significant combat capability, instantly destroying a vast number of drones – it was unbelievable!

“Hurry, report quickly, humans have not surrendered!”
