NOVEL NEXT Chapter 919: I Can't Hold It In Anymore
"Damn! How could this happen?"
"Could something have happened to Academician Zhang?"
"Shit! These guys have no sense of honor!"
"Why are they so fast? I couldn't even see clearly just now, and Academician Zhang was already captured by them."
"I heard that we on Earth have also trained a group like this, have you forgotten? Back when the Durando civilization's spaceship invaded, there was a whole swarm of people who could fly."
"Yeah, even our backward Earth civilization has such people, so how could those advanced civilizations not? Maybe their super warriors are even more powerful than ours!"
"This is bad, Academician Zhang has been captured, so the warriors will definitely hesitate, what do we do now?"
The live broadcast continued, and all the viewers were on the edge of their seats as they watched this scene unfold.
They had painstakingly acquired weapons capable of defeating an extraterrestrial civilization, and everything was moving in a good direction, who knew such an unexpected turn of events would occur.
Given the importance of Zhang Menglong, there was no way they would abandon Zhang Menglong and fire, but if they were threatened this way, once the reinforcements of the Durando civilization controlled Earth's fleet, the consequences would be unimaginable, and even their previous efforts might be completely wasted.
"Release Academician Zhang!" said a young general, "Don't forget, our fleet's weapons are still pointed at you. If anything happens to Academician Zhang, none of you will live!"
"Hahaha! I'm relieved to see how anxious you are about him," Lunede said, watching their anxious expressions, feeling more confident, "Go ahead and attack, but I want to see if you still care about this Blue Star man's life!"
"Have your fleet's weapons immediately moved away from our fleet!" ordered Lunede.
No one dared to act recklessly; no one wanted to see Zhang Menglong hurt.
"All fleet commanders, follow my orders, shut down the weapon systems!" The general immediately ordered, since when Zhang Menglong couldn't command, he was the highest-ranking commander in the entire fleet at the moment.
"Dammit!"
"Using Academician Zhang to threaten us like this!"
The commanders of those warships were all grinding their teeth in anger, but they were helpless. In their hearts, Zhang Menglong was almost like a belief, and no one wanted to see him hurt.
The weapon systems were shut down one by one, with the particle cannons that were charging and ready to fire at any time gradually deactivating.
"Very good," Lunede nodded with satisfaction, "Now, have all the mobile warriors withdraw!"
"Withdraw!" The human general followed the order and retrieved all the mobile warriors.
"Now, hand over control of the warships to me!" Lunede demanded, "Don't try any tricks, with Level Five civilization warships, this can be easily done!"
The general hesitated at this moment, he could stop attacking, and he could withdraw the mobile warriors, but handing over control of the warships to the other side was undoubtedly like handing the slaughter knife that could destroy humanity directly to them.
...
Jiangnan City Base.
Today was Lu Yiyao's birthday, and she had specially invited her college friends over to her house. Originally, after today's exercise ended, Zhang Menglong would have returned home to celebrate her birthday with her.
But no one expected such a turn of events to happen.
Normally, if her husband were in danger, how could a wife sit by and do nothing?
In the eyes of Guo Yuqian and others, at this moment, Lu Yiyao should be very panicked, because in the live broadcast, the one being held hostage, whose life hung by the enemy's whim, was Zhang Menglong!
But Lu Yiyao before them not only did not seem panicked, she was watching the live broadcast with great interest, even wanting to grab a bag of sunflower seeds!
"Don't just watch, crack some sunflower seeds!" Lu Yiyao called to her roommates, "Aunt Xu, get us a few more bags of sunflower seeds!"
"Yiyi, are you traumatized? It's okay, we're really worried about you acting like this. Zhang Menglong will surely turn the crisis into safety."
"I'm not worried about him at all!" Lu Yiyao said while cracking sunflower seeds and pointing at Zhang Menglong laughing, "Hahahaha, look at him, his expression is so aggrieved now, he's really good at acting."
"This... Yiyi, is Zhang Menglong not treating you well normally?"
"Yes, Yiyi, is it because he neglected you to research this batch of spaceships? But there's no need for you to act like this."
"Yiyi, we don't even know how to comfort you."
"You don't need to comfort me, it's fine," Lu Yiyao remained indifferent, "He's a fool, always likes to play with exciting stuff, look at his feigned fearful expression, I suspect he's been taking acting classes at Beijing Film Academy lately."
"Yiyi, are you really not worried?" Her roommates leaned closer, "He's being held hostage!"
"Not worried at all, what's there to worry about?" Lu Yiyao gulped down half a bottle of beverage, "Auntie, apart from sunflower seeds, get me some sparkling water as well!"
"This... are they just surface-level couple?"
"Zhang Menglong must have cheated, otherwise Yiyi wouldn't be so indifferent!"
"Is this indifference or gloating?"
...
"What are you still hesitating about? I'm giving you ten more seconds, hand over control to me immediately!"
"Don't give it to them, fire at them!" Zhang Menglong said, "I don't care if I die, but the human fleet must be preserved to avenge me later!"
"But Academician Zhang, we humans can't do without you!" The general was in tears, as Zhang Menglong was still thinking of all humanity at this moment. Is this the spirit of Huaxia people facing death with equanimity?
"Fire! Don't let me look down on you, bring up your Italian Cannons!"
"Italian Cannon?" The general was stunned, they didn't have any Italian Cannons! It had been long obsolete, who would still have one?
"Wait a minute! This is weird! Why does he sound like he's bullshitting?"
"Italian Cannon? Is Li Yunlong possessing him?"
"Why do I suddenly feel like Academician Zhang doesn't seem worried at all?"
"He's actually joking at a time like this?"
"I don't understand!"
According to what they knew about Zhang Menglong, he would absolutely not joke at the critical moment of his life, no normal person would!
Those extraterrestrial civilization people didn't know, foreigners might not know, but many people in Huaxia know that Zhang Menglong's last few sentences were classic lines from the TV series "Legend of the Sword" when Li Yunlong attacked Ping'an County Town!
You're about to die, and you still have time to imitate this stuff? Isn't this a joke?
For a moment, the live stream was flooded with comments.
"Although I don't know what's going on, I suspect Academician Zhang is pretending."
"Put it positively, drop the word 'suspect,' he's definitely acting!"
"Academician Zhang, stop pretending, you must have a secret weapon, right?"
"Look, he's smiling, that shameless guy is still smiling!"
...
"Shit, I can't hold it anymore!" Zhang Menglong didn't know what happened, he burst out laughing on his own.
"Hey, did you really think I'm an idiot, daring to walk up to you hundreds of Level Five life forms without any preparation?"
Lunede's expression changed, he actually knew they were Level Five life forms!
Then why did he dare to come here, did he think he had the ability to escape from being surrounded by hundreds of limitless life forms, or did he think they wouldn't dare to harm him?
"Blue Star man, what exactly are you playing at?" Lunede tightened his grip on Zhang Menglong's neck.
"You have some nerve, actually daring to touch me?" Zhang Menglong was truly finding it hard to breathe as his neck was being squeezed, "Makabaka, I'm about to suffocate, aren't you coming to help?"
