Chapter 221: Chapter 182: 7-Day Preparation, The War Begins

Ice River City, at the hotel’s front desk.

"Sir, I’m terribly sorry, but... because of the high probability of an impending alien war, our hotel needs to close temporarily. So, would you like to check out now?"

"Also, for humanitarian reasons, the hotel management understands that it’s very difficult to buy any tickets to leave the Northern Continent right now. Even land travel is somewhat paralyzed."

"Therefore, you can also choose to remain here at the hotel, but we can’t guarantee your safety or anything of that sort."

"Of course, we will have some staff on duty within the hotel. We can still provide normal services like meals and cleaning, so... what do you think?"

The hotel manager explained the current situation to Lince.

Lince, however, was unfazed.

Naturally, he chose to continue his stay.

And in fact, quite a few other guests also chose to remain at the hotel.

After all, it was all too sudden. Almost no one could have predicted it.

So, most of the travelers present really had no other choice.

They couldn’t buy tickets to flee, and if they went to some remote village or town, they wouldn’t know anyone and their personal safety would be even less guaranteed.

Therefore, at least sixty percent of the guests stayed at the hotel.

However, during this time, many of the guests haggled with the hotel for quite a while.

In the end, they managed to get the hotel to cut the room rates by half.

After receiving his fifty-percent refund, Lince finally walked out of the hotel’s main entrance.

In the early morning, the entire street was incredibly quiet.

One could say that just last night, more than half of Ice River City’s population had already fled.

As a result, there were basically no pedestrians to be seen on the street.

It was exceptionally empty and exceptionally quiet.

Lince wasn’t surprised by this at all. Without even giving it a second thought, he began to stroll outside.

He walked and watched as he went.

Eventually, Lince walked into an abandoned building.

At the same time, after sensing no prying eyes in the vicinity, including electronic ones, Lince focused his thoughts.

In the next instant, he appeared ten thousand meters up in the sky.

Without the aid of any items, Lince easily became invisible.

All of this was thanks to his time in the game, where Lince had collected vast amounts of blood from Sub-dragons and other Dragon Species. He had refined this blood, creating a large quantity of diluted Dragon Race Bloodline, which in turn granted him new Abilities.

Currently, Lince actually possessed several hundred basic Dragon Race magical Abilities.

Lince now possessed nearly all the basic Abilities related to Elemental Affinity.

Invisibility was just one of the more insignificant ones.

After reaching an altitude of ten thousand meters, Lince gave Ice River City a sweeping glance from above before streaking toward the outer layers of the atmosphere.

It was as if he were constantly teleporting.

Soon, Lince effortlessly arrived outside Blue Star’s atmospheric orbit.

It was only then that Lince discovered just how terrifying the Human Alliance’s achievements over the years had been.

Just outside Blue Star’s atmospheric orbit.

Densely packed, there were at least several hundred thousand satellites of varying sizes scattered about.

These satellites crisscrossed at different positions in different orbits.

And if those satellites were considered nothing in the grand scheme of Blue Star’s outer space,

then farther out, beyond the atmosphere,

the three large space stations had already reached a considerable scale.

Lince even continued to move farther away from Blue Star’s orbit, truly entering outer space.

At that moment, Lince transformed directly into a Crystal Giant Dragon over ten thousand meters long.

The Giant Dragon concealed its body and felt the negative pressure and radiation of the cosmos.

It felt nothing at all, as if everything in space was now completely insignificant to Lince.

As for the Giant Dragon’s movement, it required only a single thought.

The Giant Dragon could move through space at will, step by step, as if treading on solid ground, using shimmering planes of space that rippled with light.

If it wanted to move faster, a single thought was all that was needed for the surrounding space to generate even larger ripples, propelling Lince’s draconic form to swiftly traverse the cosmos and roam at will.

No need for breath, no need for any external force.

Like this, Lince continuously circled Blue Star’s outer space, looking down upon everything on the planet.

Lince only gave the three large space stations a cursory glance.

Over twenty astronauts lived inside; many were still sleeping, while others were already up and about their normal activities.

Of course, compared to all this, the most surprising thing Lince discovered happened after he had circled through space once.

It was that...

The Human Alliance, hidden from all of society, had assembled a super-massive weapon on the other side of the three space stations.

And this device was all too familiar to Lince.

Because many years ago, the Human Alliance had showcased a piece of military hardware under development on television programs.

An orbital Electromagnetic Cannon!!!

Yes, it was a gigantic railgun facility.

The rear end of the railgun was like a giant, unfurled umbrella.

And the front was a very thick metal barrel, about a hundred meters long!

This railgun wasn’t under construction; it had been completed long ago.

From the looks of it, it had even been tested already.

But thanks to the Human Alliance’s information blockade, there was absolutely no news about it on the entire Human Alliance internet.

’They’ve really got something up their sleeve. So quiet about it, too. The Human Alliance actually managed to build such a behemoth?’

’Then again, it’s not that surprising. The Moon Base City is already built and is even continuously expanding. Plus, the Mars Base is also in full preparation.’

’Under these circumstances, it’s not entirely unreasonable for the Human Alliance to sneak some "personal projects" past the public eye and assemble a weapon like this up in orbit.’
