The Greatest Village Doctor In The World

Chapter 2294 - 2293: Excuse

Ling Feng did not indulge in leisurely pleasures; while accompanying Tang Xiaoqian for a rest, he was also keeping an eye on the situation back on Earth.

On the fifth day, Ling Feng received a message from the core at the Moon Base.

A small fleet consisting of five medium-sized spaceships was discovered outside the Solar System.

After this space fleet appeared, it didn’t approach the Solar System but stopped five million kilometers away.

An hour has passed since the discovery, and the other side has yet to make a move.

Ling Feng immediately returned to Lingyun Island and quickly called the staff waiting in the Northern Europe Polar region.

The other party reported that according to the current speed at which the hourglass is running out, it would take at least five more days to completely finish.

This time is not long; after finding out, Ling Feng quickly gathered Gu Li and Ah Min and headed straight to the Capital City.

This matter is not something Ling Feng can decide on his own; he does not have the authority to make decisions for the whole world.

So after finding Han Wancheng, Ling Feng explained the situation.

After listening to his account, Han Wancheng squinted his eyes and thought for a while, then asked, "What are your thoughts right now?"

"I think this must be the aliens’ vanguard; after so many years, they must want to first see what Earth has become before making a decision!" Ling Feng said.

"The other side has been lingering in outer space for over four hours without any action; it’s very likely they have equipment that we haven’t understood yet and can already scan Earth from that distance!" Gu Li said.

"Hmm, makes sense!"

Han Wancheng nodded, then said, "I need to report this matter to the higher-ups and see what they think!"

"Boss, hurry up; if the other side suddenly launches an attack, we can resist a wave on the Moon, but this is not a good strategy. If they have weapons we don’t know about that get launched to Earth, many people will die!" Ling Feng said.

"I understand!"

Han Wancheng nodded: "Give me half an hour for a definite answer!"

"Okay."

Ling Feng knew it requires time and did not urge further, instead, he sat down in his office.

Half an hour passed, and Han Wancheng did not come back.

Ten minutes later, he returned to the office and then said to Ling Feng: "Our country and the leaders of other countries held a video conference; after briefing the situation, all countries agreed to let Ling Corporation represent and first make contact with the other side."

"And then what?"

Ling Feng felt a bit speechless upon hearing this and asked with a bitter smile.

"And then, if the other side is hostile, we are responsible for Earth’s defense; you have full authority in outer space, and you can attack freely!" Han Wancheng said.

"Alright."

Ling Feng nodded, then asked, "What if the other side is not hostile?"

"Then just engage them, find out their purpose here, and then we’ll communicate further!" Han Wancheng said.

"Okay, I got it!"

Ling Feng nodded, left with Gu Li and Ah Min.

After returning to Lingyun Island, Ling Feng wanted to board the Ling Yun and immediately meet the five spaceships.

However, Gu Li strongly opposed it, because knowing nothing about their strength, he didn’t want Ling Feng to be the first to go.

Ah Min also insisted on not allowing Ling Feng to go.

In the end, after some discussion, Gu Li decided to go as the vanguard on Ling Yun.

If the other side launched an attack, Ling Feng could command from behind, leading Yao’s ship and the newly built Alloy Spacecraft to counterattack!

Ling Feng didn’t want Gu Li to go, but his attitude was firm, determined to be the forerunner, even if it meant dying without regrets.

Ultimately, having no other option, Ling Feng nodded in agreement, then reminded, "If there’s a change in the situation, be sure to teleport back immediately, so we’ll only lose the Ling Yun, without any casualties among you and the crew!"

"Alright, I know!"

Gu Li nodded, immediately got up to set off, and teleported to the Moon Base.

...

...

Eight hours passed.

These eight hours were quite torturous for Ling Feng.

Although the core was constantly monitoring Ling Yun, he still feared seeing a sudden burst of flames in the cosmic deep space.

That would mean the Ling Yun was destroyed, with a high probability of Gu Li and others being sacrificed too.

Fortunately, this did not happen; eventually, when the screen showed Ling Yun had started the Curvature Spaceship, and was on its way back, Ling Feng breathed a sigh of relief.

This time, using the curvature engine for return, the speed was quick, and soon the spaceship landed at the Moon Base.

Afterward, Ling Feng saw Gu Li.

Expecting good news, but when seeing his expression, Ling Feng’s heart sank!

So he immediately asked, "What? Bad news?"

"Yes!"

Gu Li nodded and then said, "I communicated with them; they came looking for something lost on Earth ten thousand years ago!"

After a pause, he smiled bitterly: "I negotiated with them, but so much time has passed, the changes over eras, their item might have long been buried under hundreds of meters of soil; it’s impossible to find!"

Ling Feng squinted his eyes: "And then?"

"The other side disagrees, saying they can bring equipment to Earth to search themselves, giving us four days, and if there’s no news by then, their main force will rush directly to Earth!" Gu Li said.

"Haha!"

Ling Feng, not angry but laughed, then said, "This scene seems familiar!"

"What?"

Gu Li was puzzled for a moment.

Ling Feng glanced at him: "Haven’t you learned Huaxia history? Back then, when the Dongying people invaded Huaxia, they also used an excuse!"

"Oh, I remember now!"

Gu Li suddenly understood.

Ling Feng nodded: "The way they’re saying it, is exactly like that incident!"

"So boss, what do we do then?" Gu Li asked.

"Don’t panic, since they’re bargaining, they evidently have some apprehensions about us; if they could truly crush us, these guys wouldn’t bother with an excuse!"

Ling Feng squinted his eyes, said in a solemn voice: "So, we aren’t without chances!"

"Understood!"

Gu Li nodded, then asked: "So what do we do? Help them find it?"

"Find a ball!"

Ling Feng sneered, then said: "Core, immediately contact Shallow Blue Star and have the Alloy Spacecraft rush over, prepare for battle!"

"Understood, Master!"

The core said.

Ling Feng checked the time: "Four days left, meaning their main force will arrive within four days; this also gives us some time, let’s go back to Lingyun Island!"

"Alright!"

Gu Li nodded, followed Ling Feng, and together initiated teleportation.

Back on the island, an unprecedented military mobilization began!
