Chapter 490: Chapter 305 Knocking on the Door, but a Fighter Jet_2

Based on the current trajectory,

if it continues straight without turning, it’s highly likely to land on Siberia’s frozen ground in Russia.

Therefore,

Russia has started to prepare nervously, all related strategic weapons are ready to be launched.

Should their homeland be struck by a nuclear attack, an immediate nuclear retaliation strategy will be initiated against all countries, especially focusing on the other four permanent members of the UN Security Council.

Apart from Russia,

Hua Country and Lighthouse Country are equally tense.

Regardless of which country is behind this event, they fear Russia’s reflexive reaction could drag everyone down with them.

And although it seems the object won’t pass over their territories, it’s still somewhat frightening.

Both countries, boasting to be among Earth’s top two powers, understand they are very unlikely to intercept it.

The more they know, the more frightened they become.

They’re acutely aware of the terrifying level of technology this object possesses.

Moreover, since it took off from Hua Country,

it almost stopped the hearts of the high-level officials there, who are extremely attentive to its return.

In contrast to Hua Country, which is on high alert and making strategic preparations,

Lighthouse Country’s attitude is drastically different.

Lighthouse Country’s military has urgently deployed their newest fighters, attempting to observe and intercept the unidentified flying object up close.

Although when Chen Yun passed through the atmosphere at supersonic speeds, the pursuing fighter jets couldn’t keep up with him.

They could only watch the fiery trail blaze across the sky, unable to get any closer.

But considering this, Lighthouse Country tracked Chen Yun’s current falling trajectory to send planes in advance to a nearby airspace to wait and try to intercept.

After all, they have military bases all over the world.

And they are well aware of one thing.

Even if their planes are waiting in the right place,

with their most advanced fighters capable of only two to three times the speed of sound, intercepting something at ten times the speed of sound with sharp turning ability is very unlikely.

They will probably end up chasing exhaust.

But they still tried.

Because the Lighthouse Country leadership just learned that there might be unknown forces on the Moon, after the Apollo 17 Lunar Rover encountered an inscription in front of it.

Now there’s something from space entering Earth.

Whether it was made by a country on Earth or truly sent by unknown forces from space –

Anyway,

it’s safest to assume it’s from the Moon.

Thinking of the worst-case scenario, that it’s an unknown extraterrestrial force, they felt it essential to have a look.

Know thyself, know thy enemy, a hundred battles will be won.

This is an eternal truth.

Just monitoring through atmospheric thermal changes and relying on radar to vaguely track the low-reflecting UFO is never enough to truly face the enemy.

After all, up to now, they know almost nothing about this super-small UFO capable of ten times the speed of sound and sharp turns.

They just hope they can get a chance for a face-to-face encounter.

Therefore,

Lighthouse Country directly dispatched fighter jets to attempt an interception.

In a tranquil little European town,

the afternoon sun gently drenches the ancient streets in a golden hue, enveloping each building in a golden coat.

Life here always flows so leisurely; people like to savor a rich coffee at the outdoor tables of a café or stroll through the historic alleys, enjoying the rare leisure time.

In the town’s central square, children chase and play, the elderly sit around on benches chatting, and occasionally street performers attract the attention of passersby.

The air is filled with the aroma of bread from the bakeries intertwined with the fragrance from the nearby flower shop, painting a serene picture.

On one side of the town, there’s a small hill planted with a variety of trees and flowers – a popular spot for residents’ leisurely walks.

From the top of the hill, one can overlook the entire town,

seeing the neatly arranged rooftops and the distant rolling mountains.

During such a quiet afternoon,

a few children gathered at the top of the hill, staring at the town scenery not far away.

Suddenly, a bizarre sight shattered this tranquility—an intense light appeared against the backdrop of blue sky and white clouds, streaking across the sky like a meteor, capturing everyone’s attention.

People paused their work,

looking up to marvel at this sudden spectacle.

Children pointed excitedly while the adults took out their phones to capture the moment.

This light was not only beautiful but seemed to last longer than the usual meteor, allowing for detailed observation.

Just as everyone was still marveling at the light, a rumbling sound came from the sky.

Some, with the keen awareness of a nearby Lighthouse Country military base, recognized it as the roar of fighter jets.

Indeed, the next moment,

one could faintly see jets tearing across the sky towards the light.

As the light streaked through the sky, its path gradually grew fainter.

But soon after, several fighter jets roared into the sky, in hot pursuit.

The sound of their engines was deafening as they climbed rapidly, leaving behind white contrails against the blue sky.
