I changed the timeline with the game.

Chapter 1174 The Last Base
The ten-second clip was like a spark thrown into boiling oil, instantly igniting the heated discussion among netizens worldwide.
"I go!
What is this? Is it sci-fi movie special effects? It looks like it was CG-generated!

"That dark black whale fleet is so cool!"
The scene of high-energy artillery blasting through the battlefield is absolutely amazing!
This level of technology is approaching the highest level of weaponry currently revealed in Origin Century!

"Does anyone recognize what those armors are?"

Bio-alloy armor + mechanical structure, looks like the leaked data from Area 13 that was rumored before!

"This must be a promotional video released by some country; it looks like it was created using AI."

"The era of big AI is indeed very likely."

"But don't you think it's really cool to watch? It feels like it's already comparable to the currently most popular sci-fi series, 'Azure'."

Various social media platforms, forums, and short video platforms were instantly flooded with related discussions, and topics such as #SyntheticCG#, #MysteriousGoldenFleet#, and #ForcedPush# rose to the top of global trending searches at lightning speed.

The netizens' speculation, shock, worry, and excitement intertwined, forming a huge wave of public opinion, even forcing officials from various countries to urgently prepare press conferences to respond to public questions.

obviously,
They have not yet reached a consensus.

However, this isn't the first time something like this has happened, so it's still under control for now.

Meanwhile, aboard the Star Shuttle, Su Wen looked at the real-time internet public opinion data displayed on the terminal, and a slight smile crept onto his lips.
The newly added global influence began to rise like water.

As planned, he never wanted more than just the complete destruction of the Resurrected forces.

After all, with the cooperation of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, the U.S. Federal Government, and even Les Einstein, who knows how many backup plans this group has left behind?

What he needs is global influence that can sweep the world.

Only by letting more and more people see these images, even if it's just a partial truth, can we truly achieve our goals.

Only in this way can he begin the next phase of his plan.

"The channel can be shut down now."

Su Wen gave the order calmly.

"Public opinion data has been stored, and the communication channel has been closed."

Just in time, Fausta's electronic synthesized voice rang out:

"The main force of the Resurrected has been destroyed, and the remaining troops are scattering. Should we pursue them?"

Su Wen looked down at the devastated Martian battlefield, his eyes deep: "No need to pursue."

"Have them take this message back to the masters behind the scenes—the game is only just beginning."

As for us,
"It's time to go see your grandfather, Chie."

Hearing him say that, the girl, who had been silent and unsure of what to say, finally nodded and gave a strong "hmm".

It was as if they had no burdens left.

at the same time,

Several of Les Einton's technical teams also began planning to evacuate behind the cyborg army:
"We have no way to stop the landing module from breaking through the blockade of the bio-engineered human swarm!"

Their energy signals are increasing synchronously!

The team member in charge of management was yelling.

The red dots on the big screen, like boiling lava, completely covered the planned landing trajectory of the assault ship, but it was just a self-deceiving data simulation.

In fact, their seemingly powerful defenses are now like a piece of paper being torn to shreds.

And the next second,
With most of the surveillance networks covered by the powerful firepower of the First Star, these people have also become known as the "blind ones" in the true sense of the data world.

at the same time,

The message was immediately relayed to Caroline, and the handsome scholar piloted the Star Shuttle, landing silently on the ground with almost no obstruction or attention.

With a hissing sound, Su Wen and the others, dressed in spacesuits, stepped down from the landing site.

However, because a small number of enemies remained in the vicinity, a group of cyborgs lying on the right side of Mariner Valley on Mars seized the opportunity to launch a surprise attack from behind.

The sharp blade even pointed at what appeared to be the weakest point of Su Wen's spacesuit.

"careful!"

Chie Natsume's exclamation hadn't even landed yet.

But Su Wen had already turned around abruptly, and a golden rune shield materialized in his left hand, blocking the fatal blow as if he had anticipated it.

Even at the moment the shield collided with the blade, golden energy ripples spread out, directly knocking the surrounding enemies to the ground.

Faced with these small fry, Su Wen didn't even show any emotional fluctuation.

He merely seized this fleeting opportunity; with a slight flick of his blade, Azure Storm annihilated the remaining enemies, merging them into the flying sands of the Martian surface.
"Let's go."
They can't afford to waste my time.

And upon hearing him say that,
Caroline just chuckled:
"Trying to look cool again."

But she clearly did not consider these remaining armed forces as enemies.

Although the hacker girl can still only transmit data signals through Su Wen's 'Lantern' and the Dawn System as relay stations.

Even if she can't utilize some of her extraordinary abilities, she can still explore freely within a limited area.

This also gave her the ability to directly burrow into Mariner Valley on Mars and churn up the sand dunes, unlike Faista, who was still calculating the main battlefield and therefore had not yet expressed her opinion.

Caroline dived directly into the depths of the dunes.

Until five minutes later,

The beautiful hacker girl reappeared like a data ghost, and even brought some good news:
"I have just finished disabling the outer layer here!"

The energy barrier is about to disappear!

By the way, I also sensed a subjectivity that was completely different from that of the web weaver or Faista.

So, that should be:
【Serren】。

Upon hearing that she had removed the outer protective layer, Su Wen simply waved his hand and put the longsword, which was flowing with a deep blue storm, back into the storage box. Then he activated his appraisal vision towards the ground.

In an instant, he saw a layer of light purple energy barrier disappear.

"There are still enemies inside, just be careful to protect Chie."

Consistent with Caroline's description,
The sand began to surge.
But it's very deep.
"Get in on the Star Shuttle."

Su Wen had already completed the calculations using the field of vision assessment method, which is the most reliable approach.

Then a concealed base entrance unfolded before them. He turned the nearby Star Shuttle into stealth mode, then piloted it again, landing smoothly on the open platform inside the base entrance.
This place seems to be a specially reserved rest stop.

The ground is covered with yellowish non-slip tiles, and you can still see blurry Japanese signs on the edges, like the word "emergency stop" worn away by time.

The hatch slowly opened.
A cool breeze carrying Martian dust rushed in, mingling with the warm, humid air inside the base.

The group stepped out of the spaceship, but the scene before them completely overturned their understanding of interstellar underground bases.

Especially Natsume Chie, who had just received a lot of useless knowledge about interstellar travel from Aunt Esta.

because,

There are no cold metal walls or flickering holographic screens here.

Instead, the walls were painted with beige paint, with some areas of paint already peeling off, revealing the mottled cement layer underneath.
