569 The Bizarre Old Man
How far would a missile with ultra-long range go?

Ordinary missiles could reach tens of thousands of kilometers, so ultra-long-range missiles would be even better.

China had no intention of hiding it. Thanks to Wu Mo’s guidance and help from the antimatter energy device, the range of the Soaring Sky Missile reached a terrifying level.

As a result, China’s scientific research and technology reached a new peak that topped the world.

Its missile launcher was hidden deep underground like a deep well, which exposed only half of the warhead.

The missile had a slender shape, with an oval warhead that had been painted green.

Soon, they launched the missile, and it soared into the sky, and the airflow around it was spectacular.

The sound of the missile breaking through the air resounded through the clouds. It quickly rose into the air and flew toward its target in the distance.

In this test, the target mirrored their current location.

A reverse mirror point treated the entire continent as a mirror, so the chosen target would be on the other side of the world.

“What? It’s going to the other side of the globe. This is too terrifying!”

A cry of surprise broke the silence. The reverse mirror point was undoubtedly the farthest any missile had traveled.

In addition, the missile had to overcome the strong pull of gravity. The requirements to pull this off were unimaginable!

However, the missile headed toward the reverse mirror point at this moment. After a long twenty-two-minute journey, it finally reached its destination.

Surprisingly, it still had enough residual power to explode!

Rumble…

The violent explosion seemed to shake the planet. Everyone was dumbfounded, and they could not believe what they were seeing.

The satellite captured the explosion, which showed how powerful the missile was. It almost destroyed the entire land.

“This is horrifying! What kind of missile is China using? Its power and range far surpasses all the missiles in the world!”

“That’s right! It’s like a dimensional attack! If war breaks out, who will dare fight against China’s missiles?”

“We’re done for! It’s possible that China has successfully applied controllable nuclear fusion to weapons!”

The crowd discussed animatedly, but the officials did not give an explanation.

However, not long after, Wu Mo released a huge piece of news through the media!

“Attention, everyone! An unknown alien civilization might be descending upon us in the near future. Be sure to protect yourself and stay at home if necessary.”

What?

The arrival of an alien civilization?

They had to pay attention to their safety?

Everyone was shocked. It was like the plot of a movie, and they could not believe it!

“Impossible! Why would an alien civilization descend on our planet? Didn’t we already prove that aliens don’t exist?” someone questioned.

A senior astronomist stood up to disagree. He believed that although the universe was vast and boundless, life on Earth was unique and it was impossible for other similar life forms to exist.

However, authoritative media outlets were always meticulous, so they seemed highly credible.

Therefore, although astrologers tried to clear their doubts, most people chose to stay at home and trust the media’s views.

Only a few people knew that the media’s real spokesperson was the mysterious Chief Engineer Wu.

Who would dare question him?

However, today was an extremely special day.

People flocked to the streets to enjoy food and games as well as fill the shopping malls.

Everyone just wanted to have fun for a day! From tomorrow onward, they would stay at home and not go out!

They also took the opportunity to purchase supplies and prepare for their upcoming seclusion.

At this moment, Wu Mo was standing at the top of a tall building, surrounded by a group of researchers. Their hearts were heavy.

The latest astronomical data showed that more than a dozen large objects had appeared and disappeared outside the planet’s atmosphere.

These data fluctuations were definitely not fake. It was likely that an extraterrestrial civilization had upgraded their exploration of Earth to the interstellar stage.

Just then, there was a sudden storm!

“Oh, where did this storm come from? The weather station didn’t mention that it would rain heavily today,” Wu Mo muttered to himself.

His fiery eyes were locked onto a statue in the square before him.

Many people had been taking photos there, but now, they scattered as they searched for a place to hide from the rain.

Since the weather station never gave any advance notice, most people did not bring umbrellas.

The once bustling streets and city center instantly fell into chaos!

Everyone either hid in the mall, sheltered themselves from the rain under the eaves, or bought umbrellas and hurried home.

Others ended up drenched because they were far away.

At this moment, a researcher exclaimed, “Chief Engineer Wu, look over there!”

Wu Mo followed his gaze and saw an old man in the rain. He had no umbrella and showed no intention of hiding from the rain. He was just leisurely strolling in the rain.

He held a walking stick in his hand, and his body swayed as he walked. He could fall at any time.

However, the most surprising thing was that there was no trace of anxiety on his face. Instead, he looked at his surroundings with interest as if he was really relaxed!

Was there something wrong with this old man?

Wu Mo’s heart was filled with suspicion. He reached out and motioned for someone to go over and help the old man.

After all, an elder of his age would most likely fall sick in the rain, and his body would not be able to take it.

Therefore, someone nodded and walked out, ready to help the old man.

The heavy rain obstructed everyone’s vision. Many people were anxiously trying to avoid it, so not many people noticed the helpless old man in the rain.

However, the old man suddenly turned his head and seemed to cast a mysterious smile in Wu Mo’s direction. It was cryptic!

Wu Mo was inexplicably shocked when he saw the old man’s smile. “Hmm, what’s going on?”

He immediately sensed that something was wrong and quickly stopped the person from helping.

Right then, the old man turned around and walked around the statue!

On top of that, his footsteps grew increasingly fast and determined. Every step was heavy and powerful, which did not match his elderly appearance.

The walking stick in his hand kept thumping the ground, and in an instant, he had circled the statue dozens of times.

“Whoa, old man, how did you get so fast in the blink of an eye?”

The researcher who was about to help the old man was puzzled, but Wu Mo immediately called him back through the walkie-talkie.

“Oh, what’s the matter?”

The researcher was confused when he heard Wu Mo summoning him back.

Since it was an order from Wu Mo, he quickly returned to the roof with his umbrella.

At this moment, everyone’s nervous gazes confused the researcher even more!

He turned around and was taken by surprise. From this angle, he could see the old man spinning around the statue so fast that he resembled a shadow.

“Heavens! He has such astonishing speed?” the researcher could not help but exclaim.

Then, he saw a scene that made their hair stand on end.

The old man’s speed was almost impossible to grasp. Not only did he completely surround the statue, but he also enveloped the entire statue in a black shadow.

At this moment, the statue underwent a shocking change!

There seemed to be a mass of surging spatial fluctuations at the center of the statue. Then, a small wormhole-like structure appeared.

Soon after, a few gray shadows jumped out of it.
“What the hell?! Has a creature from the four-dimensional space appeared?” a researcher could not help but curse loudly.

Then, he quickly told the military to get ready.
