Chapter 173 Space Station Early Warning

“Warning warning...”

"Warning: Unidentified flying object is approaching the space station..."

A piercing alarm suddenly ripped through the tranquility of the space station, and the emergency lights began to spin wildly, turning the entire corridor blood red.

"Attention all personnel on the space station! High-energy fluctuations detected 500 kilometers from the first line of defense!" An urgent AI voice boomed over the loudspeaker. "Two unidentified flying objects have been detected; they are three minutes away from reaching the space station!"

"My God... what kind of monster is this?" Looking at the energy reaction analyzed in the controller, Kos in front of the console knocked over his swivel chair. He was about to issue a warning, supporting his trembling knees, when the entire space station suddenly shook violently, and a blinding white light exploded on the main screen.

Upon seeing that the unidentified flying object had reached the first line of defense, Kos immediately issued an order.

"The shield is charged to seventy percent!" Kos's fingers flew across the virtual keyboard. "Engineering team, immediately connect the backup power to the laser cannon array and activate the Planetary Type 4 laser weapon! Medical team, evacuate the living quarters!"

"Combat team, proceed to Area C immediately and prepare to engage the enemy."

At Koss's command, the sound of frantic footsteps echoed through the space station corridor, shaking the floor.

Engineers in orange overalls carried toolboxes and rushed toward the smoking airlock, their hands moving so fast they were almost blurry, quickly connecting countless wires.

The medical team leader, dressed in a silver protective suit, dragged two terrified staff members into the safety cabin.

The fully armed combat team, armed with laser guns, had arrived at the designated location.

As all the wires were connected, thirty-six rotating turrets suddenly appeared on the outer ring of the space station, with red and white laser beams intertwining to form a net that protected the space station.

Koss finally breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the Planet 4 laser network activated.

This is the most powerful laser developed by Lady Black Tower. To this day, no one has been able to withstand the attack of Planetary Type 4 laser. No matter what kind of enemy you are, you can only wait to die!

Thinking about this, Kos even laughed out loud.

If it's some heinous criminal, then maybe I'll have another chance to return to the company headquarters?

"Um, Miss Eve, it seems like they've activated their protective network..."

Firefly followed behind Eve and said weakly.

At this moment, the red and white lasers had completely enveloped the space station, so securely that not even an insect could fly out.

"They're quite aware of the importance of protection, aren't they?"

“Planet Type 4 laser…” Eve glanced at it and immediately recognized it.

"Black Tower's gadgets might be somewhat useful against ordinary people, but they're not enough for me."

Eve smiled slightly and then snapped her fingers.

A virtual laser turret was instantly created in front of her.

"This is...?" Liu Ying was immediately shocked.

The next second, the turret suddenly unleashed its power, and red and white lasers shot out instantly.

With just a single sweep, the laser net covering the entire space station crumbled instantly, and all the launch turrets were completely destroyed.

"What? How is this possible?" Kos stared at the scene on the monitor, utterly stunned.

This is Lady Black Tower's masterpiece, a Planetary Type 4 laser embodying her wisdom and abilities! How could it be instantly surpassed?

"Wait a minute! The color of that laser just now looked so familiar, how come it's the same as the laser from the Planet series?"

"Could it be...?" Kos suddenly realized something.

........

"Miss Eve, what was that just now?" Firefly asked Eve in shock, looking at the space station whose defenses had been breached.

“Planet 6 laser weapon, a gadget from the Black Tower,” Eve said casually.

"This space station is equipped with Planet 4 weapons. The idiots in the company thought they had bought the latest version of Black Tower's weapons, but they didn't expect it to be just an obsolete version."

“Um, Miss Eve, you just said that you are an honorary director of the company, right…” Firefly reminded her at the right time.

“Uh…” Eve fell silent.

Sure enough, the company was no good.

"Never mind, let's go to the space station first. It seems the welcoming procession is ready." Eve quickly changed the subject.

Firefly nodded blankly.

But when she saw the space station suddenly extend 37 railguns, a bewildered expression appeared on her face.

"Miss Eve, is this really how you welcome someone?"

"The second-generation defense line?" Eve's face immediately showed an interesting expression.

She snapped her fingers again, and instantly all the gun emplacements on the space station were disabled.

"What's going on now?" Liu Ying's face showed a blank expression again.

In the past, it would have taken her at least a few minutes to deal with these companies' tactical targets, but Miss Eve did it in the blink of an eye.

Eve smiled at Firefly, "Just a little bit of power as an honorary director~"

The fireflies fell silent.

It turns out that having power really does mean you can do whatever you want!

.............

"No, no... how could this be?"

"The railguns of the second-generation defense line are all disabled? How is that possible?"

Koss's expression turned serious as he looked at the situation on the monitor.

It's impossible for all 37 railguns to be disabled unless they were hacked, or the attacker is powerful enough to destroy all 37 railguns instantly.

But judging from the footage on the monitor, this is impossible.

Just as Koss was racking his brains for a reason, a text message suddenly appeared on the monitor.

"Huh? What was that order from above, or from the board of directors?"

Koss was taken aback when he saw the signature.

"What? The board of directors actually revoked my access, as well as my access to the space station's defense system? No, don't they know the space station is currently under enemy attack?"

After reading the contents, Koss angrily slammed his fist on the table.

Soldiers on the front lines only need to devote themselves to the battlefield and fight the enemy, but those behind the lines have many more things to consider... Bullshit!!

So this is what your back-office staff considered?

When I was fighting fiercely against the enemy, you confiscated my weapons?

What's the difference between this and banning sunflowers in Plants vs. Zombies?

Koss was practically ready to curse these executives for being insane.

Seeing that the two unidentified flying objects were about to crash into the space station, Kos knew he was doomed.

So, taking advantage of his last moments, he edited a text message that vehemently criticized the company's senior management and board members, and then sent it out to all groups.

Since I'm going to die anyway, I might as well at least have some fun talking.

Damn it, a bunch of cronies and brainless idiots!!

After doing all this, Kos calmly walked out, ready to face his final moment.

"Strange? Why do I suddenly feel a little happy that the space station is about to be destroyed?" This thought popped into Kos's mind.
