Chapter 341: What? Blue Star Has Already Been Surrounded?

Chen Ye was just about to go out and take a look.

At that moment—

The sound of footsteps came first.

Then the curtain of the tent was lifted, and his father, Chairman Chen, walked in.

Seeing Chen Ye, Chairman Chen showed a look of pleasant surprise and immediately smiled. "I calculated the time and figured you should be back around now, so I came to check."

Seeing his father, Chen Ye let out a heavy sigh of relief.

"Dad, how long was I in the secret realm?" Chen Ye quickly asked.

"Exactly thirty days."

"Then what's the situation now?" Chen Ye asked again. "Has the Cosmic Overlord arrived?"

Chairman Chen replied, "Let's leave this place first. I'll explain as we walk."

Hearing that, Chen Ye didn't ask more and followed his father out of the tent.

As soon as he stepped outside and saw everything, he froze for a moment.

Good grief.

The entire area had been cleared out, with only his tent left behind.

Moreover, to prevent his tent from being destroyed, a layer of steel plates had been added around it for protection.

No wonder it was so quiet around here.

So the military camp had already been relocated.

"Dad, where's the military camp?" Chen Ye couldn't help but ask.

Chairman Chen didn't answer immediately. Instead, he took out a box and said to Chen Ye, "Turn off your phone and put it in here."

Hearing this, Chen Ye was briefly stunned but still complied.

Once Chen Ye's phone was placed inside, Chairman Chen shut the lid tightly and finally explained, "This box is made of silver fiber material. I'm going to share some confidential information with you, and your phone might be tapped."

Silver fiber is a material made from pure silver crystals. It has excellent anti-radiation properties and can effectively block high-energy electronic radiation from the outside.

Having Chen Ye turn off his phone and put it in the silver fiber box was truly cautious.

Seeing this, Chen Ye's expression immediately turned serious.

"Let's start with the question you just asked," Chairman Chen said. "About half a month ago, the spatial rift in the cave that leads to another world underwent new changes—it expanded! Now, the entire cave interior is filled with the rift, and at least a hundred people have already been sucked in. The military deemed it unsafe to remain in the current location, so they moved the camp back by one kilometer... over there."

Looking in the direction Chairman Chen pointed, Chen Ye indeed saw the relocated camp.

Chen Ye frowned. "Why would the spatial rift expand?"

"According to the Academy of Sciences, that's not actually a spatial rift. It's another world merging with ours, and the inside of the cave is the first point of overlap!"

At this point, Chairman Chen sighed. "That alien we encountered earlier might have been telling the truth. This place will become a battlefield of the myriad realms! The other world inside the cave is just the beginning. There are reports that recently, a similar spatial rift has also appeared in North America..."

Upon hearing this,

Chen Ye's expression immediately grew more grim.

"What about big brother? How is he doing?"

"Your brother is fine for now. He's still hiding in the same place and hasn't been discovered by the alien races."

Learning that his brother was still safe, Chen Ye let out a slight breath of relief.

The father and son continued walking forward.

Chen Ye asked again, "What about the Cosmic Overlord? Any news?"

Based on Chen Ye's reasoning, since the military camp and his father were still here, the Cosmic Overlord probably hadn't arrived yet.

Unexpectedly—

Chairman Chen said, "About ten days ago, a cosmic fleet arrived from deep space and surrounded the entire Blue Star. All of humanity's surveillance satellites have already been destroyed."

As he spoke, Chairman Chen's expression turned extremely grim.

The matter with the other world wasn't resolved yet.

And now the Cosmic Overlord had also arrived.

This was truly... a season of disaster!

Hearing this, Chen Ye's expression grew even more serious.

"They didn't attack Blue Star?"

"No." Chairman Chen shook his head. "They just surrounded Blue Star without making any move to invade... Oh, right—four days ago, the authorities launched a manned rocket, intending to negotiate with the alien fleet, but before it even left the atmosphere, it was destroyed."

"Right now, the unanimous view is that these aliens, whether or not they are the so-called Cosmic Overlords, definitely have bad intentions in coming to Blue Star!"

"The reason they haven't invaded yet may be because they're still collecting data about everything on Blue Star."

"The top leadership has already moved into underground nuclear bunkers and completely abandoned the use of the internet. All important operations and classified information have reverted to paper-based methods like in ancient times."

"What I'm telling you now is confidential. The public doesn't know yet that there's an alien fleet hovering above our heads. The higher-ups are deliberately keeping this quiet to prevent mass panic."

These words were lengthy—

But the information they revealed was substantial and shocking!

Chen Ye's expression grew even more serious.

Only now did he understand why his father had been so cautious earlier, making him turn off his phone and place it in the box.

Given the alien technology, it was indeed possible that a phone could be used as a listening device.

"Have they seen the leader of the aliens?"

Chen Ye asked this mainly to determine whether the alien fleet's leader was actually the Cosmic Overlord, Boros.

If it was, Chen Ye could fly up and deal with them directly in space.

But Chairman Chen shook his head. "No. Not only have we not seen their leader, we haven't even seen a single alien. They're not giving us any chance to communicate at all."

That made Chen Ye's face turn grim, and the joy from his recent power-up was significantly dampened.

He hadn't expected that during the single month he spent in the secret realm, so much would happen.

The only consolation—

Was that Blue Star hadn't been attacked yet!

Just then,

While walking, Chairman Chen suddenly stopped and looked at Chen Ye seriously.

Chen Ye paused, realizing his father must have something important to say.

"Son, how did you do on this trip to the secret realm?"

"Not bad! I even got a bonus reward."

"Do you have confidence in handling the aliens above us?" freewebnøvel.coɱ

"Dad, I haven't seen them yet, and I don't know how strong they are. So... I really can't say for sure."

In truth—

Chen Ye was fairly confident in his current strength.

However, matters like this required extreme caution. He couldn't make any rash guarantees.

Chairman Chen nodded immediately. "If anyone else asks you, say the same thing. Right now, many people at the top see you as humanity's trump card—our last hope. Until we understand the enemy's strength, don't act rashly. Of course, that's just my opinion. Ultimately, it's your decision. I only have one request: protect yourself well!"

Chen Ye could clearly hear the concern in those words.

"Dad, I understand."

Chairman Chen patted his son's shoulder and said, "Come on, let's go home. Once we're out of the military camp, you can use your phone again. But while it's on you, don't mention anything I just told you."

Chen Ye nodded.

In matters like these, the more cautious, the better.

Just then—

Several transport aircraft suddenly arrived at the camp.

After they landed, elite soldiers clad in external exoskeleton armor disembarked. Judging by their full combat gear, they were clearly on a mission.

"Dad, what's going on now? Are they heading into the other world?"

"Yes." Chairman Chen said in a low voice, "Some of the higher-ups believe that if we can't defeat the aliens, the other world might serve as a fallback. This team is likely the vanguard for that plan."

Hearing this, Chen Ye became interested. "Then let's watch before we go."

Chairman Chen thought it over and agreed—it made sense to take a look now that they were here.

As for the military, they naturally had no objections.

After all, Chen Ye was now considered "humanity's trump card"!
