The Seventh Base

For Blue Star Energy Technology Group, this is a period of rapid development, and during this phase, they did not want to have a direct confrontation with the Byron Star Federation Government.

With the current capabilities of the carrier, assassinating Conrad would not be difficult at all.

Not to mention assassination, even a forceful killing would be no problem as long as the aliens' fleet was not around.

But Xu Mo had no interest. Conrad was just a puppet of the aliens, and killing him was meaningless; the real enemy was the alien forces led by Camp Star.

And now, the power of Blue Star Energy Technology Group was temporarily unable to contend with those alien forces.

Therefore, Xu Mo needed time. They planned to continue developing covertly and endure. In a few more years, the situation would be entirely different.

However, the events that occurred on Austin Star indeed caught the attention of Byron Star. Conrad sent people to take Sun Youcai, which clearly indicated that he realized the base might be on Byron.

In that case, it was time to kill some people to warn Conrad, reminding him not to act recklessly.

The warship swept through the void, heading into the distance.

The crowd in Steel Dome City, seeing the starship depart, felt their hearts pounding ceaselessly.

The person just saved by the starship was Sun Youcai, the Mayor of Steel Dome City. What on earth had happened?

And from where had the starship originated?

...

In Chuanxing City, the Li family.

The Li family, a financial tycoon clan, once controlled energy resources, but nowadays they were also struggling. The aliens, who failed to acquire the Deep Sea technology, could only exploit Byron Star ruthlessly. With such a large piece of the energy pie, how could the aliens ignore it?

Consequently, the Li family was gradually being eroded. Their interests were forcibly surrendered, and the resources controlled by the Federation Government fed those aliens. Of course, the aliens did not completely neglect the development of Byron Star.

The aliens had brought some technology and advanced things, but they kept everything firmly in their own hands. They impoverished the people in the areas under their control and then set up factories on Byron Star, hiring the locals at low wages, forcing them to become cheap labor. Moreover, the income they earned in federal currency would eventually have to be spent on products produced by the aliens.

In the city clusters led by Chuanxing City, wealth and resources were all centralized, strong on the outside but hollow on the inside. Everybody was faring poorly, even a financial tycoon like the Li family.

It was precisely because of this that the Li family began seeking new ways out. They dispatched members to move to other planets and seek development elsewhere, trying to explore new routes and gradually relocate.

Now, they had already achieved some results.

In the courtyard of the Li family, Li Zelong was reporting some matters to an elder, who nodded, "Well done, Ze Long. From now on, you should develop on Lucas Star and stop running back and forth."

"Yes," Li Zelong nodded.

"Boom…" Just then, a muffled sound of an explosion was heard. The Li household shook as if there was an earthquake, with all buildings trembling.

"We're under attack!" someone shouted, and armed personnel from the Li family soared into the sky, heading upwards, only to see an Energy Shield shattering above them. In the sky, a behemoth several dozen meters in length appeared.

In that instant, the faces of the Li family members turned pale.

The patriarch of the Li family and Li Zelong also walked outside. Seeing the starship, Ze Long's heart seized up, and his eyes showed a look of terror. This was a starship.

"Open fire!"

A shout was heard as surrounding fighter jets and armed personnel opened fire on the starship. Yet, a powerful Energy Light flowed on the exterior of the starship, forming an Energy Shield. Explosions sounded continuously, but they could not shake the starship.

"Whirr!"

At that moment, an overwhelming barrage of fire came from the starship; countless Energy Beams shot out in every direction.

"Boom, boom, boom…"

The hovering fighter jets exploded wildly; mechanical troops were destroyed amid screams of agony as many individuals in powerful equipment were directly pierced by the beams.

A terrifying sense of oppression weighed on the hearts of the Li family. The starship seemed like a harbinger of the apocalypse.

Then, they witnessed a horrifyingly intense light blooming from the starship. The next moment, a beam of light descended from the sky, striking the central area of the Li family.

"Boom…" The pillar hit the center of the Li family, causing a destructive Energy Storm to sweep out. The patriarch and Li Zelong watched in horror as figures were obliterated, buildings leveled, and even from a great distance, it was clear that the Li family was under a devastating attack.

The people of the Li family watched everything happening before them with despair, true despair.

In the face of absolutely advanced weaponry, they had no power to resist.

The armed forces of the Li family were destroyed in an instant, and even at that moment, they did not know who was attacking them.

Why had a starship come to annihilate them?

More beams of light fired out, wiping out the aerial forces with precise strikes. The entire army was decimated, and no one dared to resist anymore. In their despair, the people of the Li family even laid down their weapons.

Perhaps, this could make the warship stop its attack?

Soon, the Li family was reduced to ruins.

Several figures walked out from the wreckage, all core members of the Li family, some even wearing SS-grade equipment, each one staring at the starship in the sky.

In the face of a starship of this caliber, SS-grade equipment was insufficient, posing no threat to the starship.

The survivors also looked up, observing the encroaching starship. As they watched, the starship's hatch opened, and several figures emerged, with the leader being recognized as the top Transcendent who had previously stormed into a warship.
