Spy Family

What fell from the sky were not fragments of the spacecraft, but countless unmanned aircraft of various sizes, most of which were no more than one meter in length. They landed in the shape of umbrellas, covering an extremely large area.

It wasn't until the planes started shooting that the humans on the ground realized the threat they posed, screaming and running away.

Lu Linbei and Chen Manchi only left a few minutes earlier than the others, but it was a crucial few minutes. They were able to run into the nearest building and check the situation outside through the window.

Those drones do not target humans, but fight another group of drones coming from all directions.

Faced with the sudden appearance of the enemy, Zhai Wangxing's defense system launched a counterattack.

For humans who have enjoyed peace for many years, this is an incomprehensible battle. It looks extremely messy. The two sides start shooting at each other from a long distance. The weapons used include lasers and missiles. The drones on Zhai Wangxing's side are even bigger. Large, the weapons have a longer range, but the number is relatively small. The other side quickly launched encirclement tactics regardless of sacrifice.

Once the distance was shortened, the advantage of King Zhai's side immediately became much smaller, and the weak points of the small number were highlighted. The two sides fell into a melee. Bullets and lasers intertwined, vibrating the air, making a harsh sound, which was transmitted to the ground, as if it was extremely far away. The thunder everywhere is like a furnace nearby.

The downed aircraft hit the ground like hailstones, but they were much larger than the hailstones, and were often accompanied by explosions - their batteries could not withstand such an impact and released the last bit of energy.

"Oh my god, how could it be...who is the enemy?" Chen Manchi asked in panic.

"I don't know, but we have to get out of here right away." Lu Linbei held his wife's hand tightly, left through the back door, and quickly ran to a nearby parking lot to look for his car.

Once Chen Manchi realized what he was doing, he ran faster and his arms became stronger, dragging Lu Linbei with him until his feet barely touched the ground.

The road was not far, but after getting into the car, Lu Linbei was too tired to speak. He could only gasp for breath and start the car with trembling hands.

"Our things are still in the room, the new clothes we bought for you..."

"It's too late, we must...leave immediately." Lu Linbei said reluctantly, and drove out of the parking lot. At this time, the tourists on the beach had just ran back. Most of them were still rushing to the hotel, and only a few people went straight to the car.

"Do you want to remind them?" Chen slowly asked hesitantly.

"It's useless, and it's hard to say which one is safer, staying or escaping."

On the road, Lu Linbei set up automatic driving, opened the window above his head, and looked up into the sky.

The fight had just entered its entangled phase, looking like a poorly planned electronic fireworks display.

"Be careful!" Chen slowly shouted, keeping her eyes on the road.

A drone crashed less than ten meters ahead, exploded, and created a large crater. Lu Linbei hurriedly took over the vehicle and could barely avoid it, so he concentrated on controlling the vehicle and speeding up, without looking up to see the situation above. .

"Check the news on the Internet." Lu Linbei said.

"Yeah." Chen Manchi found the display glasses in the car and directly used the microcomputer in the car to surf the Internet.

Since the Jiazixing and Longitude incidents, more and more people have given up on internal chips and stored their identity information in external microcomputers, which has added a lot of trouble, but the security has been greatly improved.

"The network seems to be interrupted." Chen slowly tapped his glasses, unable to access the Internet.

"They are probably conducting electronic warfare at the same time and destroying the network." Lu Linbei guessed.

Chen slowly looked up for a while, "Why is there a war out of nowhere? King Zhai doesn't seem to have offended anyone, right?"

"Maybe it has something to do with the longitude and latitude."

"Longitude and Latitude...just concentrate on driving. We'll talk about it later."

Today was the first day of the holiday. Most people were on the beach. There were few vehicles on the way back to the city. Lu Linbei was able to drive very fast, gradually moving away from the battlefield. It was not until he was completely separated that he slowed down and drove normally.

"You can go online now." Chen Manchi never gave up trying. "The news said... it was indeed the Jingwei that sent a fully mechanized combat ship to launch a sneak attack on King Zhai. Why attack a beach?"

"There is an air defense base near the beach." Lu Linbei said casually. This was information he had read a long time ago, but he didn't expect that he still remembered it.

"But why does the Jingwei want to attack us?" Chen Manchi continued to browse the news and quickly said: "Experts speculate that the Jingwei will use this method to declare its power and disintegrate the alliance between Zhai Wang and Da Wang..."

"There must be other reasons." Lu Linbei didn't believe the "experts" analysis at all.

The closer we get to Zhai Jing, the more cars there are on the road. Some people park their cars on the road and watch the battle in the distance, causing traffic congestion.

Lu Linbei also stopped and watched for a while. The sound of the battle could still be heard, but it was very faint. The light and bullets were still dense, but they were far less intense than when seen up close. It was more like a fireworks display.

He read the news online for a while.

The Joint Committee announced the exact news. It was indeed an unmanned combat ship named Latitude. It was tightly attached to the outside of a Uranus spaceship and came to the Zhaiwang Space Station together, waiting for an opportunity to launch a sneak attack.

But there is still no reasonable explanation for why the target chose an air defense base.

It stands to reason that suppressing air defense forces is usually the beginning of a large-scale war, but it seems that the Meridian has only sent this one combat ship, which is more like an assassination mission.

Lu Linbei started driving again. Before he got home, the Joint Committee had announced that the battle was over. The invasion battleship and the unmanned aerial vehicles it carried were all destroyed. All spacecraft in the space station had been carefully inspected, and no abnormalities were found.

Some experts speculated that the Latitude and Longitude wanted to blame Uranus.

If so, the Longitude was counterproductive. Its battleship was quickly identified, and King Xing immediately expressed its cooperation with the investigation and even temporarily transferred the management of the spacecraft to King Zhai.

As soon as the battle over the beach ended, King Zhai announced that he would join forces with King Xing to launch a retaliatory attack on the Latitude.

Lu Linbei didn't notice at all that he was thinking about the whole thing.

After returning home, Chen slowly said: "The news said that at least two hundred people died on the beach due to the explosion, and even more were injured."

"Huh? Well, the remains of the drone are still as lethal as a bomb."

"Do you want to contact your former friends? They must know more inside information."

Lu Linbei woke up and said with a smile: "Don't, it's their busiest time now, and they are probably looking for who is responsible."

"Huh? How come the Emergency Department is responsible for the Jingwei's sneak attack on Zhai Wang?"

"The Emergency Response Department is now part of the Military Intelligence Department, and one of their responsibilities is to prevent such sneak attacks."

"They didn't send a reminder, so they have to take responsibility?"

"It's hard to say. They may know nothing about it, so a series of people have to be punished. Or they may have issued warnings long ago, but they were not taken seriously by the superiors. After the incident happened, the first thing to do is to find out which link went wrong. There must be someone. We take responsibility for this, but the outside world will not know about it, and it is usually an internal self-examination.”

Chen Manchi was only wearing a swimsuit and found a coat to put on, "Okay, why are we fighting?"

"For the Longitude and Latitude, it is probably for survival. Although they obtained independent status a few years ago, they have been subject to an embargo and may not be able to survive."

"But attacking King Zhai will not change the situation."

"I'm also wondering why the Latitude and Longitude are confused when even you can understand things."

"The way you praise people is so special."

Lu Linbei stepped forward to kiss his wife and said with a smile, "Usually you are not interested in this kind of thing."

"I don't want to see a war." Chen Manchi's expression suddenly changed, "If you hadn't reacted quickly, maybe... maybe we would have died there today."

"It's luck."

"This is not luck, it's experience. Alas, it's a pity that we spent a lot of money on those things."

That night, the hotel requested a call and said that the main body was not damaged and the items were basically intact and could be returned by express delivery. Guests were asked to leave their detailed address.

Chen slowly became happy.

Lu Linbei checks the news from time to time.

The number of casualties changed frequently and was less than originally expected. However, all walks of life in King Zhai were still filled with indignation. For the first time in several years, they showed unity and quickly passed an authorization bill, agreeing to the military's formation of an expeditionary fleet, which could be launched in three days. Set off.

The main force of the battleship is a replica of the Rules of the past. It is larger and has more advanced equipment. In the past few years, all major planets have been expanding their military strength, and the combat effectiveness of this battleship has always been at the forefront.

As for the purpose of this sneak attack by the Jingwei, there are still different opinions. Many people feel that since the Jingwei has become a pure machine city, it is possible to do any unimaginable things.

"It has nothing to do with me." It wasn't until he was about to go to bed that Lu Linbei came up with these four words to free himself from doubts.

"Uncle San wants to recruit you to the emergency department, is it related to this?" Chen Manchi couldn't change the old title of "emergency department" no matter what.

"Then I won't go back. Besides, I can't help at all. I know even less about the causes and consequences than they do."

Chen Manchi lay in his arms and whispered: "Tomorrow I will tell the fortunes of King Zhai, no, all the planets, to see if there will be a war."

"Military Intelligence should invite you there." Lu Linbei said with a smile.

"You can laugh at me, but don't joke with fate, it's watching you."

"Just because it brings us two together, I will always remain in awe of fate."

"Well, I'm quite grateful for it too."

When he got up the next morning, Lu Linbei no longer cared about the war. The holiday must have been ruined. Neither he nor Chen Manchi wanted to go out anymore, so they stayed at home. He continued to write the paper, while Chen Manchi went Playing with cards, you really want to tell the fortunes of humans on the eight planets.

A few hours later, Chen Manchi gave up, "Well, it's probably because I don't have enough skills to tell everyone's fortunes. The God of Destiny refuses to reveal any information."

There was a knock on the door outside, and Lu Linbei said slowly to Chen: "Maybe you were right. Third uncle didn't give up and sent someone again, but I will never change my mind."

He had already thought about what to say, but he was stunned when he opened the door.

The person outside was not Lu Yezhou, nor was he Wang Zhen, but Ma Xianyou, whom he had not seen for many years.
