World-saving Plan: The Only Savior-Chapter 1594 - 407: Moon Battle (Part 5)
Life inside the Underground Shelter is extremely monotonous, especially for someone like Chu Xiaoxiao.
Due to her personal circumstances, she is not suitable to move around the outside hall area, and can only stay alone in her room all day.
The network of the Starry Mobile is also disconnected. Besides playing some single-player games she downloaded, she can only watch the Anti-Demon Alliance’s live broadcasts.
Having no interest in games, Chu Xiaoxiao chose the latter, but the live content is also very bland.
The battle on the Moon has long ended, and coupled with the previous wide-range Pulse Attack from the Rock Armor, the external observation satellites have all malfunctioned and still haven’t been fixed, resulting in the fact that the livestream cameras show only a scant few shots inside the Star Alliance Base.
Among these shots, Chu Xiaoxiao can’t see anything else; she can only observe the scenery outside the base from a few fixed angles, and occasionally catch a glimpse of a Mecha passing by, which counts as a small surprise.
"I still can’t contact Chu Liang. Didn’t they say our satellite was knocked out by some Pulse Attack from that giant Insect? I heard that over on the West Hemisphere, it was nighttime at the time, and the impact was much bigger there, with many areas experiencing a complete blackout,..."
In the room, Chu Xiaoxiao explained with a worried face.
She also wanted to contact her younger brother Chu Liang but had no way. The communication disruption led to the entire network being unusable, unable to make any calls.
Others inside the base weren’t doing much better. The current situation seemed a bit perplexing. Though no more Insects continued attacking, the Anti-Demon Alliance advised everyone to stay in the Underground City without explaining why.
It’s precisely because of this that speculations kept arising, fearing there might be some unknown crisis being hidden from them, causing general anxiety.
Of course, only a small number of people had such concerns; most people remained very optimistic.
They believed that the Anti-Demon Alliance asked everyone to stay here in order to completely eradicate the Insects and ensure safety. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞
Once all the Desert Worms were eradicated, everyone could return to their previous life.
Many young people who initially found these unexpected events interesting gradually realized the preciousness of a stable life.
Only after really experiencing it, could they discover that reality and movies are truly different, and they themselves are not the protagonists at all.
No matter how ambitious one might be, amid a crisis, one can only follow the crowd, silently avoiding disaster as an ordinary person.
After all, fantasies are just fantasies, impractical, and the world won’t revolve around any one individual.
At the moment, Chu Xiaoxiao and Wenwen were eating dinner provided by the Sanctuary in the living room, when unexpectedly, the outside door was suddenly opened, and a figure clad in black armor walked in.
"Chu Liang? You’re back!"
Seeing the person who came in, Chu Xiaoxiao immediately put down her meal box and went up to greet him.
"Sis."
Chu Liang greeted, then without saying much, lay down straight on the sofa, looking utterly exhausted.
"Chu Liang, what’s up with you? These... did you fight with monsters?"
Chu Xiaoxiao, sharp-eyed, immediately noticed the scratches on his armor, her heart tensing up.
She clearly remembered that when Chu Liang left a few days ago, his armor had none of those scratches, indicating that he must have fought with Alien Species.
Chu Xiaoxiao anxiously thought, weren’t the Insects all held back in space? How come her brother, who was on a mission in the city, also engaged in battle? Could it be those monsters reached Water Blue Star?
"Oh, it wasn’t Insects; it was other Alien Species. Some guys took advantage of the chaos to stir trouble, but we took them down. It’s all fine now."
He waved it off, appearing nonchalant.
But although Chu Liang seemed relaxed, Chu Xiaoxiao wasn’t foolish; if her brother’s constitution left him this exhausted, it indicated the Alien Species they faced were undoubtedly of a high level.
She reminded him with a few words to be careful, then went to the lounge to fetch food and water, also bringing clean clothes for him to change, busy for a while before settling down.
The siblings were chatting while Wenwen, somewhat bored, alternated between glancing at the live broadcast on TV and listening to their conversation, jumping in with a few words when something piqued her interest.
"The Anti-Demon Alliance still has some aftercare to do, so don’t worry; the crisis should be resolved soon..."
At this moment, Chu Liang was comforting his sister, and this sentence was also meant for Wenwen, assuring them that they could go home after a few more days here.
In fact, as a member of the Abnormality Department, he was also not very clear about the progress on the Anti-Demon Alliance’s end, but to set his sister and Wenwen’s minds at ease, he could only downplay the severity of the situation.
However, just as Chu Liang continued analyzing the current situation for Chu Xiaoxiao, Wenwen, who occasionally glanced at the TV, suddenly widened her eyes, frozen in place staring at the broadcast images.
"G-g-g..."
That was the sound of her teeth chattering.
"What’s wrong, Wenwen?"
Chu Xiaoxiao noticed her abnormal state.
"The... TV..."
Wenwen trembled as she pointed to the TV screen across from her, her state shifting from daze to terror.
