Chapter 637 - 637 The Intense Battle for Entry
637 The Intense Battle for Entry
“What kind of mysterious device is this? Such a solid defense was definitely not something that a low-level civilization could create. What was going on?”
The other alien also sent out a suspicious light wave signal, which instantly spread between the four of them.
After a series of intensive discussions, they decided to retreat temporarily.
There was nothing they could do. They could not break through the dome’s defense for the time being.
Even though the joint attack just now was already the most terrifying attack that their ships of this level could unleash.
If they wanted to strengthen their attacks, they could only return to their home planet and take out more powerful devices.
However, their home planet was quite far away from here, and it would take a lot of time to travel back and forth.
Helplessly, the five spaceships could only slowly change course and prepare to leave.
When people saw the extraterrestrial creatures leave, the world erupted in cheers.
“Hey, you guys left so quickly. We were looking forward to you guys continuing the fight!” someone shouted in a mocking tone.
“Haha, don’t celebrate too early. Maybe these guys will come back!”
The other person said in a half-joking and half-warning tone.
“What are we afraid of them for? The installation is so sturdy. With it, we are fearless of any civilization’s invasion,” someone said.
“Come to think of it, why doesn’t our planet have a dome?”
At this moment, a huge question popped up in the bullet screen.
However, they didn’t know that Wu Mo had already considered this question.
As the human world had entered the stage of urban development, it was very difficult to protect the entire planet within the dome.
The ones who regretted it the most were the countries that did not try their best to get ten spots.
This was because some of their bases on Eternal Sun had been completely destroyed.
“Mr. Wu, when will the second auction be held? We also hope to obtain a protective quota.”
At this moment, a national representative immediately contacted Wu Mo.
Wu Mo pondered for a moment and said firmly, “It’ll be in three days. Please be punctual.”
However, he knew in his heart that there was no need for him to remind them. All parties would come as promised.
With the accidental invasion of the extraterrestrial creatures, everyone realized the importance of the dome.
What seemed like a crazy investment in the past was undoubtedly a plan by a wise man today. Everything he paid was worth it.
The capital they had invested in on Eternal Sun was at least a hundred billion or even more.
And this also carried a huge expectation for the future.
However, after being wiped out by the alien civilization, their losses were several times greater.
Three days passed, and the auction began as promised.
This auction attracted many sponsors. After all, it had become the focus of global attention.
Any knowledgeable person would not let go of such a business opportunity.
It was worth mentioning that this auction was seen as a global event, and there were many businesses willing to invest.
The sponsors were almost racking their brains to get a good spot.
The venue of the auction was chosen to be the largest stadium in China. It was surrounded by a large number of security personnel to prevent any possible riots.
At this moment, big shots arrived at the venue in luxury cars.
As soon as they got out of the car, they looked around with hostile eyes.
In this auction, other than the ten members who obtained the first opportunity, the rest of the people could compete with each other and the winner would be decided in the end.
However, the previous ten members could not enjoy the protection of the dome once and for all.
Instead, after paying a certain amount of money, they could enjoy the free protection of the dome for a fixed period of time.
However, the deadline was only half a year. In other words, all their investments would be in vain after half a year!
Those who wished to continue enjoying the protection of the dome would have to pay again.
Many people cried out that they had been tricked into investing hundreds of billions.
How could anyone accept that he would only receive protection for half a year?
However, Wu Mo did not waver.
His tone was cold and hard, like the sound of a war drum echoing in the air.
“If anyone is unwilling to accept the continuous protection of the dome, please choose to withdraw without hesitation. If he changed his mind halfway, China would return fifty percent of the commission as a gentleman.”
This statement was like a bolt of lightning that pierced through the night. It showed China’s firm stance. They might have already begun to burn with anger.
The dome was a ray of light for Eternal Sun and a line of defense built for them. They only needed to invest in insignificant worldly possessions.
Everyone remembered it in their hearts. Their future and hope lay on Eternal Sun.
As long as they could shine on that planet and build more brilliant achievements, what did money mean?
Therefore, under such circumstances, no country dared to withdraw from the protection of the dome.
In this auction, every participant was bleeding in the fierce battle. Would withdrawing not be the act of a fool?
Inside the venue, people stared at the stage with wide eyes.
The number of people participating in the auction had reached an astonishing two hundred.
“Are representatives from all the countries in the world gathered here?!” someone exclaimed in a low voice.
This was unbelievable. Everyone sat there and waited quietly.
Then, a group of high-ranking officials and Wu Mo slowly walked onto the stage.
This auction was hosted by Wu Mo.
Several officers and the project manager accompanied him and answered all kinds of questions at any time.
Wu Mo walked steadily, his expression solemn as he slowly said, “Thank you for coming to the auction despite your busy schedule. Now, the auction officially begins!”
Immediately after, China announced the coverage of the dome and the areas that could be extended and deformed.
Wu Mo’s voice was like a great bell, calm and full of power.
“The dome can extend directly to about five thousand kilometers away.
In other words, there are ten countries that can enjoy our protection services this time.”
After saying that, everyone’s eyes instantly flickered.
On the big screen, the area covered by a virtual line was like a solemn and mysterious ivory tower.
Anyone who developed and built there would have nothing to worry about, let alone the threat of alien civilizations.
“Mr. Wu, can we start bidding?” a representative asked anxiously.
Every member of the Planetary Alliance was like a wild horse that had not been released.
They were all eager to charge forward.
This was because these ten spots were like the most dazzling treasures to them. No one was willing to give them up easily.
Wu Mo nodded and replied, “Let’s begin.”
He could not foresee that his words would trigger a crazy bidding storm.
“I bid a hundred and fifty billion!”
The first voice suddenly broke the silence of the venue. This person’s determination was almost crazy.
“A hundred and fifty billion? How generous! If he raised such a high price from the start, would there still be any room for others to compete?”
At this moment, his actions attracted everyone’s attention. Everyone felt a little uncomfortable.
After all, this price was like a high mountain that blocked the path of others.
However, this fierce bid forced out those who had been in the shadows. They could no longer hide.
This also meant that those who originally wanted to take the opportunity to steal the tower had no way to do so.
