I Inherited 5,000 Years of Family Property

"Ha ha ha, Academician Zhang is at it again; that's way too much of an implication."

"American fleet: You might as well just report our social security numbers; it's like a stab to the heart."

"The bamboo has been snatched; the pandas are going to starve to death."

Speaking of this, Zhang Menglong got somewhat irritated, "It's one thing that they're sending themselves to be killed, but they've caused the needless sacrifice of top scientists from several countries. Isn't this harming others as well as themselves? Isn't it just both poor skill and playfulness?"

"Our American fleet is invincible! The alien invaders are no match for us! We will be the first nation to make contact with a cosmic civilization!" Zhang Menglong said in a mocking tone, "Do they even have any cred points in their mind? Eating a couple more peanuts would keep anyone from doing something as brain-dead as this, right?"

"If you want to see a fleet from the Americas just for fun, sure, but if you want to witness a real civilization face-off, you have to look at us, Huaxia."

"Ha ha ha, Mr. Zhang sure has a way with words." Although this was a live broadcast, the reporter didn't feel embarrassed at all; as long as they weren't embarrassed, the ones feeling the shame were the Americans.

Moreover, Zhang Menglong had subdued these alien invaders; he had saved the civilization of humanity. He was a man of Huaxia, and they were proud to be Huaxians too. At this moment, they were totally unfazed, even feeling a bit amused.

This live broadcast was also streamed to every nation in the world, of course, including the Americas.

The highest commander of the American fleet watched this segment of the interview, nearly grinding his dentures to bits.

But what could he do? The world forever favors the victor over the vanquished, and their American fleet was now tied to the pillar of shame.

In the future, they would indeed be hung on walls, and they would be written about in textbooks.

Of course, the textbooks would also state that this was humanity's first contact with a cosmic civilization, and the entire American fleet was annihilated, with him as the commanding officer of that fleet.

"Mr. Zhang, what do you plan to do next with these aliens?" the reporter continued to ask, "With over twenty thousand individuals from an alien civilization, I think we need to handle them properly."

"I plan to hand a portion over to the state," Zhang Menglong said, "As for the remaining part, I plan to put them in a zoo, so that people can get up close and personal with extraterrestrials."

"I want to give out an ad here," Zhang Menglong leaned into the camera, "Jiangnan City Wild Animal Park is now officially renamed Jiangnan City Advanced Intelligence Civilization Life Zoo. The zoo will open in a week's time, and everyone can purchase tickets to visit. We will open an online reservation system in a couple of days."

"Holy shit! Awesome!"

"Putting aliens in a zoo? Ha ha ha, you're really hardcore, saving a trick up your sleeve for us."

"Academician Zhang's cunning moves are endless, but this one I really did not see coming."

"Are there any precautions we need to take when visiting the aliens?"

"Yeah, we've never encountered aliens before; is it safe?"

The onsite camera immediately relayed the audience's reactions back to the reporter.

The reporter immediately asked Zhang Menglong, "Mr. Zhang, as we've seen, these extraterrestrial beings are highly dangerous. Isn't it risky to be in such close contact with them?"

"Don't worry," Zhang Menglong assured, "In terms of safety measures, we have double preparations. Inside the zoo, I will arrange for 24-hour patrols, and we're also confident that we can control these aliens. Visitors will even be able to take photos with them or interact."

"Is there anything else we should be aware of? I think everyone is still quite interested in getting up close and personal with these extraterrestrial creatures."

"Yes!" Zhang Menglong said, "Please be civil when taking photos at the zoo. Avoid using flash whenever possible, and don't feed them at random. I'm afraid they might not be accustomed to our food."

"Ha ha ha ha ha!"

"To sum up for everyone: observe civilly, please don't feed."

"Help, I can't stop laughing."

"Brilliant, ha ha ha, Zhang Menglong, are you a devil? I'm begging you, be human."

"You might as well kill them, the insult is simply too high!"

Zhang Menglong didn't feel there was anything inappropriate about it. The opponents had come with the intention of invading Earth, and if they had been the ones defeated today, they believed that the fate of the Earthlings would have been a hundred times more tragic.

Now, they had food and drink and a place to live, which was already very good treatment.

As for whether they would be morally condemned, it was like those who eat pork condemning those who eat dog meat, everyone eats meat, whether it's pigs or dogs, or even humans, the fundamental difference isn't that large, we are all living beings.

Those aliens treated the Earthlings like pigs, dogs, cattle, and sheep, intending to enslave them to serve the future buyers of Earth. Zhang Menglong could treat them with the same method and attitude, there was nothing wrong with this.

"Alright, I have a lot of things to deal with, everyone go about your business!" After speaking, Zhang Menglong flew directly into the sky and gracefully departed.

"He flew, Academician Zhang flew away again!"

"Did Academician Zhang not encourage us to believe in science?"

"Can anyone explain to me what principle this is based on?"

"I am from the Chinese Academy of Sciences's Academic team, and I can't explain it either!"

...

When Zhang Menglong returned to the Longxia base, he was greeted with applause from everyone.

"Don't be like that, I'll get embarrassed," Zhang Menglong said, scratching the back of his head shyly.

"Menglong, you are the hero of humanity this time!"

"Yes, the Secretary-General of the United Nations just called us, and after research, the United Nations has decided to bestow upon you the title of Guardian of Human Civilization."

"Actually, it's not much," Zhang Menglong said, "When someone brings weapons to loot and wreak havoc in your home, someone has to clean them up, right?"

"But now there is a very important piece of information," Zhang Menglong's expression became extremely serious, "This is a ship from a Level Two civilization, their captain is named Katz, and he seems to have sent a distress signal to his home planet."

"So what if he did, Menglong? However formidable you are, even if they come with another fleet, they might not be of any use!"

"Yeah, and even if they want to come over, it should take them at least a few years, right? As long as we have enough time, after a technological explosion, we might be able to meet their fleet head-on."

"No, this time it's different," Zhang Menglong said, "According to that Katz, their Level Two civilization belongs to a Lord of a Level Three civilization. The mainstream warships of a Level Three civilization, I currently only have confidence in dealing with one or two. If a whole fleet comes, I won't be able to protect Earth."

"And even with complete information, we couldn't possibly make such technological progress in just a few short years," Zhang Menglong said more seriously, "And I can't guarantee that they won't have even more advanced civilizations like Level Four or Level Five!"

Zhang Menglong knew that Earth, because of the existence of the Zhang Family, had become too special, and it would definitely attract the interest of higher-grade civilizations. So now, Earth was in a very dangerous state.

"I think we must now make an emergency plan for the current situation," Zhang Menglong said, "We must know what our future enemies will be like."

"We need to meet this Captain Katz first," Mr. Zhou said, "Since he is the captain, he should know a lot of things."

"That's what I think, too," Zhang Menglong said.

"Where did you send them?"

"The wildlife park."

"???"
