Merit Book·Xinghai

The uniform was as white as snow without a single wrinkle, and the badge on the chest was shining. Lin Qingsi stood upright like a pole, looking up at the blue sky slightly.Around him, twenty tall and handsome soldiers in brand-new military uniforms stood in line.

In his earphones, there were reports from everywhere:

"The guard of honor is in place!"

"The flower team is in place!"

"The logistics team is in place!"

"The welcome group is in place!"

"Armored team in place!"

"Mortar in place!"

"Every sniper point is in place!"

"The Seventh Legion is in place!"

"The No.13 Legion is in place!"

……

This is the first real and positive contact with aliens in Zhong Wuxing's history.

Not those specious myths and legends, not suspected fake alien corpses or spaceship wreckage, not far-fetched "clues" from some ancient murals or mysterious images, not to mention "flying saucer sightings" described exaggeratedly by three or five people. Event", but real, living aliens are about to land on Zhongwu Planet.

This is an unprecedented opportunity, but it also contains enormous dangers.

Like all civilizations that have just entered the interstellar exploration, Zhongwu Star is also full of curiosity and desire for alien civilizations. They have sent their own voices into space many times. They hope that they are not alone in the vast universe.But at the same time, in Zhong Wuxing's various literary works and film and television works, the contact between alien civilizations and Zhong Wuxing has always been very tragic.Although in that kind of fantasy works, the heroes of Zhong Wuxing will always lead all mankind to drive away the invaders, but intellectually they also know that the story is just a story. The fragile civilization of the mother planet will only be destroyed by the invaders without any effort.

Imagine all kinds of aggression and occupation, all kinds of enslavement and killing of the Zhongwu star by the cruel and greedy aliens in literary works, many people frightened themselves half to death.When it was learned that an alien spaceship was sailing towards Zhongwu Star and was about to arrive, more than 90.00% of the factories and schools on Zhongwu Star were closed, and even many government departments were unable to operate normally.

Before the arrival of the spaceship, countless people took to the streets to publicize, petition, and parade with signs such as "Protect Homeland", "Protect My Bell", "Resist Alien Invasion" and so on; It became so popular that the amulets were sold out of stock; some people were frightened and trembling, and ran to hide in the capital, mountains, countryside, basement and other places with their families; Some people confessed their love in a hurry and even got married, and after having a romantic night, they hugged each other like a collapse and cried loudly.All kinds of stores are crowded with people rushing to buy supplies. Although the government quickly began to restrict and control purchases, some people still try their best to hoard a large amount of food, water and other items.

Some people fell into inexplicable frenzy, singing and dancing all night, drinking and celebrating, thinking that the new era of Zhongwuxing has arrived.They disdain those panicked people, but worship, follow, and yearn for alien spaceships like crazy girls, and quickly set up countless pro-guard groups and fan groups; some people suggested that the current governments of various countries are incompetent and greedy , exuding a decadent atmosphere, they should be led by more civilized and powerful aliens to guide Zhongwu Star to glory; what's more, there are people who plan to attack government departments for their "alien master", but unfortunately, at the same goal Kilometers away, they were arrested by the high-alert guards; some business-minded people quickly released the same spaceship model, alien T-shirts, alien figures, etc., earning a lot of money The bowl was full; some people took the opportunity to take to the streets, beating, smashing, looting and burning, causing countless chaos.The expected alien invasion has not yet come, black smoke can often be seen billowing up in the city, and noisy sirens pass quickly across the streets from time to time.

But all kinds of chaos started quickly and ended quickly, not because of the government's strong control, but because the aliens are finally coming.

On this day, the entire planet seemed to be completely quiet.

Everyone understands that peace or war will finally be revealed.

On Zhongwu Star, whether it is daytime or nighttime, countless cities that used to be noisy day and night are now quiet, with no one on the wide streets, only vehicles responsible for security patrolling lonely.People stayed in front of the TV at home, and the whole family cuddled together, nervously or excitedly watching the live broadcast of Canglan Airport, where the Tulip Kingdom was about to welcome the aliens. In the eyes of people all over the world, those who are afraid feel inexplicably more at ease, and the handsome appearance has attracted countless women from three to 80 years old.

However, Lin Qingsi, who welcomed the alien spacecraft on behalf of all mankind, did not have so many complicated thoughts. No matter whether the arrival of aliens is good or bad, he will soon know that even if there is a war, he will not be afraid.At this moment, it was useless to think too much, he just tried his best, prepared for the worst, and then moved in the best direction.

He was only lucky at this time. Fortunately, when this alien spaceship was discovered, it was not far from Zhongwuxing; fortunately, they came soon-although this did not give Zhongwuxing enough time to prepare, it also avoided the possibility of confusion. resulting in greater losses.You know, when it was learned that the aliens were really coming, even many officials panicked and issued many contradictory orders, which made the situation even more chaotic.Lin Qingsi couldn't imagine what the panic and suspicion of the unknown would turn this planet into if this state was extended to months, years, or even decades.

And... the spaceship responded to Zhongwuxing's contact signal in a friendly manner, and landed at the place they designated without making any unreasonable demands. This cooperative attitude gave them an undoubted and very friendly signal.Therefore, Lin Qingsi is not as pessimistic as many people about Zhong Wuxing's first alien visit.

In the morning, when the sun had just risen above the treetops, a spaceship slipped into the atmosphere of Zhongwu Star lightly and silently like a light fish swimming into the water.Its speed was very fast, but the surface of the hull did not produce any flames due to the friction with the air.The satellite above Zhongwu star captured this picture, when the rebroadcast picture appeared on the TV, countless people let out an unknown sigh.

Lin Qingsi narrowed his eyes and looked at the sky.

In the star's blazing light cluster, a small black spot suddenly appeared, and then it rapidly spread and became larger until the shadow completely covered Canglan Airport.Lin Qingsi looked up, watching the spaceship approaching the ground at an extremely fast speed, as if it was about to hit the surface of the planet and commit suicide directly, and the surrounding soldiers couldn't help but feel a commotion of anxiety.But when it was less than 100 meters away from the ground, the speed of the spacecraft decreased rapidly, and then landed in the center of the airport in an extremely light and elegant posture. Its speed decreased to zero the moment it approached the ground. Sometimes there is not even a single sound.

This is really a beautiful spaceship beyond imagination. The body of the ship is as white as snow, like a huge white bird, with a very simple style.Unlike the spacecraft made by Zhong Wuxing, there will be various protruding parts on the surface of the hull, and the cold equipment is full of power and majesty.The entire hull of this spaceship is integrated, and the portholes, landing gear and other components are also arranged very cleverly, without being obtrusive at all. There is not even a hair-thin gap on the hull.Speaking of which, this ship must have gone through a distant space voyage, but it looks like it just came off the production line, not to mention damage, not even dust.The white hull of the ship shone with countless tiny stars in the sunlight, like a river of stars flowing.

The feeling of this spaceship is warm and elegant, like a noble, beautiful, pure young girl looking at you with a smile, no need for more words, it makes people feel a lot of love in their hearts.It is only in the very subtle places that the huge gap in technology between the other party and Zhong Wuxing is revealed.

Lin Qingsi's heart sank.

But the soldiers around him didn't think so much. They looked at the spaceship dazedly. If they didn't remember their mission and the unknown friends and enemies of the spaceship in front of them, I'm afraid they would lie on the spaceship like idiots. I licked it from start to finish with my own tongue.

After the spaceship landed, it stayed for a few minutes, and then there was a "whining" sound of wind blowing near the hull—Lin Qingsi guessed that the spaceship had opened the vents for the exchange of air inside and outside—even the sound of the wind seemed to be passing by. With careful design and adjustment, it sounds like a vast and distant tune.

In the middle of the spaceship, a door slid open silently, and the silvery-white staircase composed of seven or eight steps stretched down like a book page, until it reached the ground, and everyone's hearts were lifted at once.

The guard of honor is ready to sprinkle flowers, applaud and unfurl welcome banners.

In the dark, countless muzzles also adjusted their direction slightly.

Lin Qingsi, who was standing at the front of the spaceship, and the group took a deep breath. They were ready to see a creature with five eyes, twelve legs, a head that stretches like an earthworm, or a slimy body flowing. Slimy, smelly aliens are ready—in the imagination of Zhongwu people, aliens almost look like this.

A young man with dark complexion, thick eyebrows and big eyes jumped out of the spaceship.

Maybe it was because the expectations were too "high". When they suddenly saw such a young man who looked similar to them, everyone felt a little out of breath for a while, and a little bit disappointed—the alien... look like this? ?

It's no big deal!

Under the disappointment, whether it was fear or expectation, they all dropped a lot in an instant.The big round eyes in front of the TV turned into dead fish eyes in an instant. If they were not still curious about aliens, they might have to change the channel.

On the contrary, the alien boy seemed taken aback.After he jumped down, he saw Lin Qingsi head-on. He let out a cry of "huh" and jumped back abruptly, as if he had seen some incredible scene. He stared at Lin Qingsi and pointed at him, "ahhh Ah" I didn't know what to say.

Lin Qingsi frowned slightly, and was about to speak, but saw that the young man seemed to have been more frightened, and suddenly turned his head to look at the spaceship, with such force that he seemed to want to twist his own neck.

Another boy had already stepped off the spaceship. His complexion was pale and he looked a little weak, but his demeanor carried a bit of aristocratic arrogance and reserve.He first glanced disdainfully at the dark-skinned young man who was clamping his tongue next to the stairs, then raised his eyes slightly, and saw Lin Qingsi.

The boy's feet suddenly stepped on the ground, and his body staggered. If a hand hadn't been stretched out from behind to grab his collar in time, he would have rolled down the stairs chattering.

A handsome purple-haired man with narrow eyebrows and eyes appeared from behind. He supported the noble boy, and when he saw Lin Qingsi, a look of surprise flashed across his eyes, but he didn't show any more. shoulders down the stairs.

The behavior of several people made everyone waiting under the spaceship feel strange and uneasy, and no one spoke for a while.At the same time, Lin Qingsi also felt that these few people should not be the leaders on the spaceship, and the really important people were still behind, so he turned his attention to that exit.

Before making everyone wait too long, another figure appeared there.

When he came out, all the people—in front of the spaceship, in front of the TV, various command headquarters, the Tulip Republic, the Cattelan Empire, the Snowden Alliance, and all those who were paying attention to this incident, all sent out messages in unison. There was a gasp full of wonder and disbelief.

The man standing at the exit looked down at Lin Qingsi who was standing at the bottom of the stairs, and narrowed his eyes slightly with a calm expression.

At the same time, Lin Qingsi also squinted his eyes, as if his eyes were dazzled by the bright sun, or as if he wanted to cover up the overwhelming thoughts in his heart at this moment.

The two people, one tall and one lower, separated by a few meters, have the same eyebrows, the same eyes, the same facial features and height, and even their expressions are so similar. Except for the different clothes on their bodies, they are like the same person looking in the mirror. , to the point of horrific resemblance.
