After the combat order was issued, the military base located in Xinjiang Lop Nur where Chen Zhongyuan was stationed immediately became lively. This abandoned military camp, which was used when they first came into contact with Frenzy, was specially funded by Beidou from their Secret financial account for construction after the two sides made contact.

This was quite an honor, as although every country has its own Secret financial account, accounts of this nature can only be funded with a very small percentage of the budget in times of special financial abundance, and they cannot be easily accessed. Most of the time, they are used to subsidize major scientific research or important projects that are related to national security but cannot be exposed.

The military base located in Lop Nur was planned by Beidou to be a transit station for China to contact and trade with extraterrestrial life forms, just like Russia's North Dovinsk military port. Due to transportation difficulties, in addition to two large domestic construction companies receiving orders to build two military roads extending from Qinghu and Xinjiang, there was even a special engineering unit that was called in to work day and night to build a new base in the desert that was no less than any large military base in the country in the shortest possible time.

Of course, with such a high cost, this place could not just be used as a transit station for trading.

"Now is the time for us to act!"

Chen Zhongyuan clenched his fists, feeling his blood boiling.

This military base, which was officially named, had the same task as the training base in Inner Mongolia hundreds of miles away, and was responsible for the rotation training of several major military regions in the country.

Desert rapid descent, desert march, large-scale combat in extreme weather conditions, and special operations...

The wisdom and frugality of the Chinese people were pushed to the limit.

Even Beidou didn't know what they were thinking, and they even transferred several agricultural science project teams that were said to be researching "sand consolidation" and "desert planting" to this place.

Ten years later, there might be large areas of green vegetable fields and grain fields appearing in the sand sea near the military camp.

Of course, the training tasks in Lop Nur were not just these. The most core task here was to guard against and be vigilant of Frenzy and other Mechanical Life Forms.

Four Ilyushin Il-76 transport planes that had just arrived and more than a dozen Yun-8s were parked on the runway of the military base, where heavy weapons and troops were being quickly replenished.

Of course, the military operations staff were not just sitting around. They also knew that if they really came into conflict with extraterrestrial life forms, it would be very unlikely to rely solely on an airborne unit to stop their advance.

Therefore, their main force was not them, but heavy ground forces that were urgently contacted and dispatched from other military regions according to the Invader's entry route, backed by the insane firepower of the 6th Army and coordinated with air strike forces. In case of emergency, there was also long-range support from the Second Artillery Corps. They were confident in preventing any force from invading their country's territory, even extraterrestrial beings.

Amidst the roar of engines, military planes took off one after another and disappeared into the yellowish sky that had become dark due to the beginning of the wind.

Chen Zhongyuan and his team in the rear did not dare to relax in the slightest, especially as the temporary commander of this sudden operation. The young major general tightly held the communicator, and his fingers were a little white.

"...Tianyan, Tianyan, this is Hongqi... report the latest trajectory of the target immediately..."

"Tianyan received... the target has now left the d4 area and is less than ninety kilometers away from the border of the two countries... below are satellite images, please pay attention to receiving..."

"Hongqi received... thank you for your cooperation, please continue to track the target..."

After a brief exchange of information with several staff members, Chen Zhongyuan immediately commanded the communication soldier, "According to the enemy's marching trajectory, they will soon enter China from the northeast region of Xinjiang. Immediately contact the Xinjiang military region and order them to deploy fighter jets for escort and lock onto the target. At the same time, warn them to leave!"

"Yes!"

Over an hour later, two menacing Decepticons, who had recently destroyed a power plant in Mongolia, one transforming into a black Land Cruiser and the other into a Hino heavy truck, ignored a sign erected in front of them and drove straight into China.

They had only been driving for less than ten minutes when the sound of roaring engines filled the sky above them.

A fully armed squadron of newly commissioned J-11B fighter jets appeared with a fierce aura, performing the task of escorting and driving away the two illegal intruding Decepticons in the airspace above China.

A series of highly regulated radio transmissions were also sent out intensively.

"Warning, unidentified intruders, you have illegally entered Chinese territory without permission. Please immediately identify yourselves and turn back the way you came, leaving Chinese territory."

"Repeat, unidentified intruders, you have illegally entered Chinese territory. Please immediately identify yourselves and turn back the way you came, leaving Chinese territory. Otherwise, we will take necessary countermeasures!"

The sudden radio warning caused the two Decepticons, who were maintaining their vehicle forms and driving on the ground, to slow down slightly.

But the next moment, the two Decepticons instinctively accelerated, as if they hadn't heard the warnings from the fighter jets high above them, and continued heading towards the heartland of Xinjiang.

The reconnaissance equipment on the military aircraft transmitted all the data seen on the front line back to the rear through an Airborne Warning and Control System (AWACS) aircraft. Chen Zhongyuan and his team in the operations center at Lop Nur military base saw this scene, and their faces turned grim.

"They are too arrogant. These guys completely disregard us humans!"

Chen Zhongyuan asked in a deep voice, "Have we contacted Frenzy yet?"

The Chinese side was not afraid of engaging with the Decepticons. The intruders entered Chinese territory from the Xinjiang segment, which is not densely populated. After receiving the order, the local authorities had already started evacuating the herders along the trajectory of the two Decepticons in a planned manner.

Their only concern was that these two individuals were Frenzy's subordinates!

Frenzy's arrival gave this country, which had fallen from the top of the world nearly two hundred years ago, a chance to reclaim its rightful position.

Beidou was now eager to make good use of the channel provided by Frenzy and extract as much advanced technology and equipment from him as possible.

Therefore, unless these two invading Decepticons opened fire or made their way to the core area of Xinjiang, posing a threat to the safety of the people, they could not be the ones to initiate the first attack.

The communication officer shook his head, "Sir, we have not received a reply so far!"

"We can't just wait. Use the emergency communication channel through the Guizhou Province again and repeat the inquiry..."

"Yes!"

Just five minutes after the order was given, the communication officer exclaimed with joy on his face.

"Sir, we have received a reply!"

"What does it say?"

"...The Invader is from the Decepticon Legion and is not one of our warriors. I have arrived. Provide me with the exact coordinates!"
