About four hundred soldiers from the New Seventeenth Division and the Iron Seventh Division stayed behind. Together with the researchers, they were stationed at the newly built Xinze spaceport. This spaceport was located on a large granite base. The sea level was quite high, and there was the Huangshanling Lonely Ridge in front of it as a shield, so they didn't have to worry too much about the terrifying flow of water.
The Federation had determined that this was a safe area based on past research records, so they chose this place as an observation point. However, they still cautiously sent three types of light battleships to stand by on the tarmac. If the planet's environment was unimaginably bad and even affected this place, they had to be able to immediately evacuate these few hundred soldiers.
The volcanic eruptions on the planet became more and more frequent. Earthquakes of various sizes never stopped like the music of the new year. Countless tsunamis were born, collided, destroyed, and reborn in the ocean, causing the blue seawater to become turbid. Some areas where sulfur was concentrated were even bleeding bright red.
Because of the geomagnetic shift, the geomagnetic storms at the two poles became more and more intense. Other than the optical images from the high-altitude satellites, there weren't many other ways to monitor the few remaining Imperial armies in the northern hemisphere. Xu Le and the Federation officers who stayed behind to guard the spaceport calmly carried out their work, waiting for the long flow of water to end, waiting for the peace after three months.
Seventy-four standard hours later, the underground flow between the glaciers in the northern hemisphere became more and more magnificent due to the rising temperature. Countless streams of cold water penetrated through the hard ice layer and converged at a high speed. They shot out of the surface of the glaciers and into the sky, shooting countless beautiful and cold waterfalls. Then, the flood mixed with ice fell heavily, instantly overflowing the obstacles in front of it, and slowly but firmly surged towards the low-lying areas in the south.
Three days later, the first flow of water in Area K crossed the central region of the snowfield and poured into a snow valley, rushing into the primitive forest in the valley.
In front of the flow of water that was dozens of kilometers wide, thick ancient trees that were more than a thousand years old fell like paper. The green vegetation was instantly torn into pieces.
The mixture of ice and water all over the mountains and plains had a semi-solidified gelatinous feeling. Because it was wrapped in the black sand under the snow, it looked gray and dull. In the cold snow water, there were countless sharp and heavy icicles mixed in, like a knife without a sharp edge.
In front of this giant blunt knife of the Creator, nothing could resist at all. The whole earth seemed to have been ruthlessly scraped. Wherever it passed, not a single blade of grass grew. Giant trees fell, birds and beasts wailed, and then there was dead silence.
The further south they went, the more the ice melted, and the lower the terrain became. The speed of the mighty Liuli invasion also became faster and faster. The Liuli front, which stretched for hundreds of kilometers, rushed all the way to the south. If it encountered a mountain, it would be blocked, and if it encountered a lake, it would spread and freeze, and if it encountered a lake, it would drive the lake away.
In the third millennium, this lonely planet at the edge of the West Woods would automatically tilt its angle in a strange way. In this big movement that changed the sky and the earth, countless small earthquakes and volcanic eruptions would occur on the surface of the planet that was divided by ice and green. In the glacier area of one-third of the northern hemisphere, the most spectacular Liuli phenomenon would occur.
Just like at this moment, the Liuli scene was so spectacular that it made people feel a sense of awe and fear towards nature. And this was only the first wave of this Liuli.
With the help of the research of the previous generation of scientists and the support of the super computing power of the Charter computer, the Federation was confident that they could leave humans on the surface of the planet for observation. However, those who stayed behind could not help but feel frightened when they saw such an irresistible natural scene.
Any big astronomical phenomenon would inevitably occur on a long scale. Even if a giant black hole swallowed a super large galaxy, it would not be able to eat it in one bite. The soldiers of the Federation who stayed behind on the surface of the planet had to wait silently and nervously for three months. They were shocked by what they saw in front of them, but the emotions in the depths of their hearts were extremely complicated.
The Federation paid a great price. Countless comrades sacrificed themselves to force the Imperial expeditionary force into a desperate situation. However, just when the enemy was sure to lose, and they were about to win the glorious moment of glory, God … came out to mess with them. Although the Liuli would definitely destroy the remnants of the Imperial expeditionary force trapped in the glacier, and victory was still there, this feeling was not very good.
Xu Le definitely did not have this kind of emotion. He calmly completed his work in the engineering room and recorded everything that the optical lens captured. The Federal forces could be wiped out without a single person dying. This kind of victory was what he liked the most.
Through the Federal Central Computer, he confirmed that there was not much crustal movement at the site of the massacre that was discovered a few days ago. After the war, he should be able to find it again under the thick layer of ice. Only then did he feel relieved.
On the wide light screen, in the images captured by the satellite, some high-definition shots could sometimes be captured. In the Liuli that was mixed with mud, rocks, and countless strange-shaped ice blocks, there were occasionally some thin corpses of the Imperial soldiers that were not wearing clothes that covered their bodies. Most of the corpses that were discovered had already been rubbed by the ice blocks and rocks until they were too horrible to look at. It was chilling to look at.
Xu Le, who was extremely sympathetic, looked at the images on the light screen. He did not have the slightest bit of sympathy or emotion in his heart. His expression was calm.
Professor Shen had taught him that there was no such thing as reason in this universe. His experience over the years had also convinced him that God had never taken the initiative to punish any evil deeds. However, this time, the Liuli suddenly appeared more than three hundred years ahead of time, which made him feel touched.
People often said that God was not fair. Now, God was finally fair for once. This was the retribution of the Imperial expeditionary force that slaughtered the Federation civilians.
Xu Le thought as he walked out of the room. He raised his head and looked at the gray sky that was mixed with strange lightning. He looked at the snowflakes that had just drifted down and narrowed his eyes.
Because of the melting of the glaciers, billions of tons of Liuli carried countless ice blocks, boulders, trees, and even heavy mecha wreckage towards the south. At the same time, it also brought with it cold and relatively humid temperatures. In this season, it was definitely not supposed to snow at Xinqiu Airport, but … it was actually snowing.
"I've never seen snow in Donglin."
Xu Le narrowed his eyes and looked at the fluffy snowflakes that were fluttering in the air. He noticed that the snowflakes were a little gray because of the volcanic ash. After a pause, he continued, "That's why every time I see clean snow, I always feel very happy. I just suddenly thought that if it were to snow in Donglin, it would definitely be this kind of gray snow. You don't know how much dust there is in Donglin. "
"I've always been curious. Boss, you're obviously from Shanglin. You've only been a soldier in Donglin for two years, but no matter how I look at it, you seem more like a person from Donglin."
Bai Yulan held the cigarette between two fingers and took a deep breath. She looked past the fluttering strands of hair and asked softly, "Could it be that those famous stone miners really have such a great influence on people's behavior?"
Xu Le did not answer. He just looked at the snowflakes in the sky and spaced out. The people in his hometown had never seen real snow. The cafe owner on Zhonglou Street had never seen real snow. The beautiful policewoman with long legs in boots had never seen real snow. His long-dead parents had never seen real snow. Oh, and his sister, Xian Yi, had never seen real snow either.
Not being able to talk about his feelings for his parents, his sister, his hometown, and his childhood made him forget about it. This was the most difficult thing for Xu Le to accept in his life as a fugitive.
Bai Yulan, who was squatting on the ground, looked up and saw a rare look of reminiscence on Xu Le's face. After a moment of silence, she said softly, "Bai Zeming has always liked to capture these kinds of scenes. If he were here right now, he would definitely be very excited."
The documentary "Team Seven" had already finished filming. The producer, director, guest reporter, and narrator, Bai Zeming had already left and returned to the Golden Star Film Studio in the capital of S1. Only after hearing Bai Yulan's words did Xu Le recall this matter. Now that the production duo was no longer by his side, he actually felt a little uneasy.

Although it was a spectacular sight, it would still be boring if one watched it too much. This was especially so if one watched it with a nervous and fearful heart. For a strong-willed professional soldier, this was a huge torture. Only the real scholars and researchers were extremely excited. They were screaming in the observation room. It was important to know that not all scholars had the opportunity to see such a rare sight that only happened once every three thousand years.
This was a temperament unique to the real academic community. Xu Le actually had a lot in common with these researchers. However, in the boring waiting time, he could not observe and record for a long time like them. This was because he was the deputy division leader of the new 17th Division, so he had to organize the study of the officers who stayed behind.
Whether it was the new 17th Division or the Iron Seventh Division, whether it was the troops who stayed behind on the ground or the fleet in space, at this moment, all the commanders gathered together seriously and checked the battle reports of the other two fallen stars on time every day.
They were watching the command of a real military genius.
In the eyes of the people, Zhong Suohu of the West Woods was a gloomy and violent dictator. He was the head of the seven major families, a big shot who spanned both the military and the political world, and a big shot who ruled a corner of the empire.
The officers and the people admired his hard work in leading the West Woods and the rotational warfare troops to fight against the Imperial expeditionary force for more than ten years. However, they did not have a specific evaluation of his military command. This was completely different from Division Commander Shaoqing. Because of some rumors, the people had always doubted the ability of the Federation's frontline commander-in-chief.
These disregard and doubts instantly stopped when the Tiger of the West Woods went to the frontline again and personally commanded the victory of the military operation.
In the 163 and 3320 systems, facing the most powerful force of the Imperial expeditionary force, this Tiger suddenly burst out with all his brilliance. The large army gathered by the Federation turned into an invincible iron stream under his command. He vividly displayed his amazing combat ability and announced to the entire universe that he was the most talented military genius with one shocking and ingenious tactics and meticulous strategic concepts after another.
"Who could have thought that the three divisions were the secret moves that Commander Zhong had prepared in advance? Who could have thought of it? I analyzed the battle report after the fact and still could not understand how he had arranged all this. How could those poor commanders of the empire have guessed it in advance? "
Yu Chenghai, the commander of the new 17th division on the light beam, could not hide his surprise. He said, "This battle was so fierce that it made people speechless. After this battle, who dares to question his military talent and think that he is not qualified to be the frontline commander-in-chief?"
Having followed the Federation's God of War for many years, he actually used the word "military talent" to describe Zhong Suohu's commanding ability without any taboo. Naturally, he admired this man to the extreme.
Xu Le suppressed the shock in his heart. Thinking of the conversation between himself and Commander Zhong that night, he could not help but think in a mocking tone, "He didn't fight seriously before, but now he is."
