Chapter 445: All Illusions
"Besides that, there are two powerful countries, Hongguo and Languo, on the northern continent, and a group of colonies similar to African countries on the southern continent."
"This is a good place. If we unify the primitive civilization on this planet and sell it to the empire, how much would a 1% share of a living planet full of people be worth!" Stover licked his lips.
"Let's go down and take a look, Captain. Kari, prepare the multifunctional mecha." Stova also rubbed her hands excitedly.
After getting Li Mingze's consent, the exploration ship entered the atmosphere of the planet from above the sea of the planet, and twenty mechas flew out of the cargo hold of the exploration ship with air jets on their backs.
At the Hongguo Command Center, 500 kilometers away from the coastline, the commander-in-chief of the Hongguo Army was drinking and talking happily with his subordinates.
Their Hongguo tank troops have advanced to the hinterland of Languo, and the steel torrent composed of hundreds of thousands of tanks and armored vehicles has crushed all obstacles that dare to block the road.
It only takes a week for their Hongguo troops to advance to the capital of Languo, and then the northern continent will usher in its unification.
However, just as they held a grand banquet to celebrate the victory of the war in advance, twenty mechas suddenly broke through the thick reinforced concrete outer wall of the headquarters and fell into the hall.
Accompanied by people's screams, twenty mechas aimed their Gauss machine guns at the fleeing crowd.
"Everyone, don't move. Squat down where you are. Otherwise, our machine guns will not show mercy." Stover's voice came from a mecha.
"Who among you has the highest position, let him stand up." Li Mingze fired several shots at the top of the banquet hall with a machine gun, causing everyone to scream again, and then shouted to the crowd.
"I... I am the commander-in-chief of the army of Hongguo." An elderly man who was about sixty years old walked out of the crowd.
His subordinates tried to stop him several times, but he stretched out his hand to open them.
"Excuse me, everyone. Where are you from? What do you want to see us for?"
"Why don't you taste the wine first, sit down and talk slowly." The commander-in-chief made a gesture of invitation.
"Let the mecha be entrusted to the artificial intelligence for vigilance, and we will go down and take a look." Li Mingze controlled the mecha and nodded to the others.
Soon, the cockpits of the twenty mechas opened outwards, and twenty explorers in power armor jumped out of the cockpits.
The mechas controlled by AI will monitor the people around them, and their power armor can protect them from the attacks of these backward weapons of the natives, so everyone left their cockpits with great confidence.
Reaching out to open the armor on the chin, Li Mingze and others only showed their mouths.
"Right, right, respected officers, come and sit down. You see, these are the foods we just ate, absolutely non-toxic." The old commander picked up a plate of cakes and handed them to Li Mingze and others.
"Stop! Don't eat!" Li Mingze suddenly frowned and stretched out his hand to knock away Stover's hand that was reaching for the cakes.
"Tell me, how low is the probability of having several fruits exactly like those on Earth on an unknown planet, and the other fruits are also specialties of the Empire." Li Mingze frowned and asked the explorers around him.
"Impossible, the probability is too low." Stowa shook her head.
"Everyone withdraw the mecha! Notify the Stone Wall to pick us up! There is a problem here!" Li Mingze felt a chill rising from the soles of his feet and hurriedly shouted to everyone.
"Hey, hey, hey, why are you planning to leave, isn't it better to stay here?"
"And did I let you go?" The old commander's tone suddenly became gloomy, and his facial features began to distort.
Li Mingze and others saw this scene and hurriedly drew out their rifles while firing and retreating towards the mecha.
But the bullets they fired only burst out a pile of purple liquid after hitting the people who began to distort in the hall, and the "people" who were hit quickly returned to their original state.
"Hahaha, you can't hurt me, just be my food." Everyone in the hall suddenly shouted in unison.
The high-ranking officials of Hongguo, who originally looked like ordinary people, turned into monsters made of purple liquid, and the two sharp claws of the monsters were still waving in the air.
"How is it, has the Stone Wall arrived? Why is it so slow!" Li Mingze, who had returned to the mecha, shouted while controlling the mecha to shoot wildly at the crowd.
"No, sir, we have lost contact with Fei. Zizi" Stova lost contact with Li Mingze before she finished speaking.
"What's going on?" Li Mingze saw that the mechas around him were still intact, but they had lost contact with each other.
"Captain, these monsters can block our signals!" Stova suddenly shouted to Li Mingze through the mecha's loudspeaker.
"Let's go, let's retreat!" Li Mingze threw away the machine gun that had been emptied of bullets and pulled out two howitzers from both sides of the mecha's thighs.
As the grenades fell into the group of monsters, the explosion splashed pools of purple liquid, but these liquids gathered together again in just a few seconds after being scattered.
"Not good! These guys are indestructible, save your ammunition!" Li Mingze frowned, it seems this is a special creature that is immune to physical attacks.
When Li Mingze and others gave up blocking the monsters and rushed out of the building, they were stunned by the scene in front of them.
Purple monsters that could not be seen at a glance appeared in the square and streets around the building and rushed towards their position.
"Start the thrusters, let's go to the air!" Li Mingze said as flames suddenly appeared behind him. The dazzling flames pushed the heavy mecha into the sky.
The explorers behind him did not dare to fall behind, and they all ignited the thrusters and rushed into the sky.
"Switch the jet engine to save energy." Li Mingze breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that none of the twenty people he brought out were left behind.
At this time, everyone realized that the prosperous city they saw through the drone had changed into another look.
A broken spaceship covered the ground! All the spaceships were broken into pieces, and the surface was full of traces of corrosion.
Judging from the degree of aging of these spaceships, they have a long history.
"Damn, all we saw through the drone were illusions, and they were all disguised by these guys to deceive us!"
"Judging from the number of these spaceships, it is obvious that they have succeeded many times." Li Mingze slammed his fist angrily.
"Thank you, Captain, for saving my life just now. If I had eaten that snack, I don't know what would have happened." Stover bowed to Li Mingze, his eyes full of gratitude.
