Chapter 876 They are coming
"Today is..."

In the depths of the boundless universe, the space fleet of the Earth United Defense Force EDC, created by Chu Xuan, assembled in the orbit of the shattered remains of the Pioneer planet. All ships were neatly arranged, ready to fight, flashing cold lights, maintaining the inherent silence of space, and guarding against the enemy that Chu Xuan predicted would arrive today...

——As if waiting for an approaching storm.

After the battle between Yang Yun and Zheng Zha, the planet has entered the countdown to its doomsday. Although Yang Yun successfully cleared the Pioneer warship hidden in the core of the planet and removed a blood-sucking maggot when the Zhongzhou team visited again, giving this dying world a glimmer of hope... However, this could not heal the deep wounds left by the planet in the endless years of suffering, nor could it restore its already devastated and broken cruel reality.

Over a long period of time, the side effects of the pioneers' experiments, coupled with the eruption of magma from deep within the earth's core on the day of the planet's destruction, have destroyed this once prosperous planet into pieces, making it no longer suitable for any life form to inhabit.

In the explosion that almost led to the end of the world, about one-third of the planetary debris broke away from the star under the force of the explosion, turning into fragmented debris, floating like isolated islands in the vast universe, and were eventually captured by the gravity of the remaining stars, forming a strange scene similar to the asteroid belt.

The Zhongzhou team built a defense line to resist the pursuers in this world similar to the "Outland" in World of Warcraft.

When billions of people work together in one direction, the energy that erupts is unimaginable. Under the dual pressure of the Central Continent team and foreign invasion, countries all over the world took action... manpower, materials, infrastructure, defense construction, everything, all striding forward with an astonishing efficiency.

During this period, Qi Tengyi and Chu Xuan were the two busiest people in the Zhongzhou team. Qi Tengyi had to frequently open sonic explosion channels around the world to send a steady stream of personnel and supplies to the front line; at the same time, when Yang Yun had filled in most of the plane loopholes, Qi Tengyi also had to play the role of a "tinker", constantly using the Five Spirits Turret Map to check for leaks and fill in those small space loopholes one by one...

The complexity of this project is unimaginable. If Qi Tengyi had not studied the classics on formations of the Qionghua School in depth in the world of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", and had not personally practiced setting up formations near the Yan Emperor's Shennong Cave, thus greatly improving his attainments in formations, this work would probably be enough to cost him half his life.

Even so, Qi Tengyi has become haggard due to overwork in recent times. His hairline has reached the middle of his forehead, his eyes are bloodshot, and he looks like a devil, almost exhausted.

But compared to Chu Xuan, Qi Tengyi was nothing. During these twenty days, Chu Xuan's average sleep time was no more than ten minutes a day, and he relied on the life potion provided by Yang Yun to relieve his fatigue. It was unknown whether he used the cause and effect points stored in the Conferred God List to heal himself... And it was this hard work day and night that allowed Chu Xuan to complete the work that others thought was impossible.

Countless materials and manpower were obtained from the "Annihilation Field" from Quillina as a springboard, and then sent to the broken planet through Qi Tengyi's sonic explosion channel, and then built and assembled to become the first line of defense against the invasion. The ten auxiliary ships and three hundred ASHMB mechas mentioned by Chu Xuan were also equipped early, and even left a full week for the staff and mecha hunters to familiarize themselves with the operation. To be fair, in terms of the technology of the Pacific Rim world, those who were sent to the front line never thought that one day they would actually fight in outer space. But the arrow was on the string and had to be fired. In addition to the technological equipment configured by Chu Xuan, the original hunter mechas and aerospace forces of PPDC had also undergone corresponding modifications, and even the monsters modified by Shaw Enterprises were waiting here, forming this front line of defense together...

At this time, Luo Gandao and Overlord were sitting in their respective cockpits, having a brief exchange with the Mecha Hunters who had fought side by side with them in the past PPDC, talking about their adventures since they separated, and easing the tense atmosphere before the war.

Whether it is Yuri, whose spirit dominates the world, and his high-tech army that dominates the entire Arctic, or the world of Chinese Paladin filled with cultivators, or the black dragon transformed by Li Ala of the Celestial Team, they all marveled.

On the other side, Zhan Lan, Qi Tengyi and Lingdian.com were extremely busy.

In the main control room of the Hope, Zhan Lan, sitting on the iron-gray throne, closed her eyes and extended her mental power to the maximum extent. It seemed that she had finally arrived at her home field. The "Cosmic Adaptor" bloodline was more active than ever before, making Zhan Lan's state far better than usual. Coupled with the increase in the Hope itself, Zhan Lan's mental fluctuations were able to spread throughout the entire universe in detail. Her mind scanned the entire battlefield indiscriminately, and she could not sense any slight movement.

The zero point in the "Black Phantom" body is located in the crack of space. On the one hand, it senses the fluctuations of the space at the edge of the plane, and on the other hand, it constantly observes and calculates the curvature and faults of the space with its eyes strengthened to the extreme. Whenever the enemy enters this plane from the outside, it will inevitably cause changes in space, and thus be sensed by him at the first time.

Finally, with Chu Xuan, the most suitable commander, not around, Qi Tengyi had to take on this responsibility. He connected the sensors of each warship with the mother box, integrating and analyzing a wide variety of complex intelligence such as electromagnetic waves, gravitational waves, and background radiation. Together, the three of them formed a perfect radar system for the fleet.

Although Qi Tengyi had no experience in commanding troops, he did not need to worry about this as he had the Mother Box. Just like how Cyborg constructed the mechanical personality of "Grid" in the original work, Chu Xuan loaded a command AI into the Mother Box for Qi Tengyi, whose personality and knowledge all came from a commander named Proselyte in the Red Alert world Yuri... With its assistance, Qi Tengyi was able to perfectly issue corresponding instructions, arrange the battleship formation and construct the military formation to make it conform to the field formation structure of Feng Shui, and maximize the power of the defense line.

As time went by, the atmosphere became increasingly tense. Luo Gandao and the others stopped chatting and waited for the enemy to come with heavy hearts. No one dared to relax at all, until Zero keenly sensed a tiny fluctuation in the surrounding space.

"They're coming."
