Magic? My Iron Torrent will sweep it all away!

Chapter 175 Are the Great Xia people fighting amongst themselves?

The scene inside the portal froze the excitement and joy on the faces of all the expeditionary soldiers at the forward base.

Time seemed to freeze at that moment.

Representatives of other races, such as Kyle, Thorin, and Muyu, were utterly astonished.

Thorin the dwarf rubbed his eyes hard, staring at the dark muzzle of the cannon on the other side of the door.

"God of Artisans...do you humans always make such a grand entrance when you come home?"

The orc leader Grom was even more direct. He pointed to the other end of the portal and asked Elder Wood Whisper beside him in a deep voice.

"Elder, those iron contraptions don't seem to be welcoming them?"

Elder Muyu frowned, his eyes filled with confusion.

Are the people of Great Xia fighting amongst themselves?

However, Lin Mo, Long Zhan, and Zhao Gang in front exchanged a glance, their faces showing no surprise.

Because it was part of the plan, they already knew about it.

"Beep—"

A emotionless, mechanical voice emanated from the loudspeaker inside the portal.

"Anti-intrusion security plan activated."

"Please provide the correct identification code!"

Lin Mo stepped forward, his voice loud and clear.

"The Great Xia's First Expeditionary Force!"

"Beep—Identification code correct!" The mechanical voice continued without pause:

"Commander-in-Chief Lin Mo, Deputy Commanders Long Zhan and Zhao Gang, please proceed to the identification area in turn to undergo identity verification!"

As soon as the words were spoken, a silver-white device covered with various probes and scanners was pushed to the front of the portal by a robotic arm.

Without hesitation, Lin Mo stepped forward and placed his palm on the cold recognition panel of the device.

"Fingerprint verification successful."

"Iris scan initiated... Verification successful."

"Voiceprint comparison...verification passed."

A blue beam of light shot out from the top of the device, enveloping him and scanning him thoroughly from head to toe.

"Comparison of body structure data...no abnormalities found."

"Drawing blood samples...for gene sequence comparison..."

A slender probe popped out of the device with lightning speed, pricked the fingertip, and then quickly retracted.

Thorin the dwarf's beard bristled at the sight.

"What are these Great Xia people doing?"

At the portal, the various checks were still ongoing.

"Gene sequence alignment passed..."

"EEG is being performed...confirmed no abnormalities in mental state!"

A metal helmet descended from above the equipment, covering Lin Mo's head and emitting a soft hum.

One minute later, the mechanical voice sounded again.

"Check passed."

"Commander-in-Chief Lin Mo has confirmed that there is no risk of mind control, memetic contamination, or alien parasitism."

"Please have Zhao Gang come forward for inspection..."

"Inspection passed. Please step forward for further inspection...Inspection passed!"

"The level of the anti-intrusion contingency plan has been downgraded."

Welcome back!

"Click...click click..."

As the last four words fell, the countless cannons at the other end of the portal, which had been suffocatingly numerous, began to slowly retract into the wall.

The six-barreled machine gun stopped spinning, and the laser emitters on the ceiling went out of their red light.

The pressure that felt like it was about to crush a person suddenly dissipated.

The entire process lasted nearly an hour.

This hour is also very necessary, because after the portal closes, no one knows what unforeseen events might have occurred.

Volaz's terrifying strength made Great Xia realize the terrifying evolution of various creatures, and no one could guarantee that the other side did not have a creature like the Xenomorph!

They simply raised it to the highest level of security response.

During this time, the portal also stabilized completely from a pitch-black void, solidifying into a circular passage with a diameter of three and a half meters and a pale blue halo flowing around its edges.

After finishing the spell, Kyle stepped down from the altar, his face slightly pale, clearly having exhausted himself.

Lin Mo noticed this scene, quickly walked up to him, and solemnly bowed.

"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Kyle."

Kyle waved his hand, indicating it was nothing.

"Holy Son, this is what I should do."

At this moment, Zhao Gang said to Qian Zhenhua and Academician Liu Chengen, who had rushed over from the laboratory:

"Mr. Qian, Mr. Liu, you can hand over the reins now."

The two white-haired academicians immediately directed several researchers to carry several silver-white metal combination lock boxes toward the teleportation portal.

One of the most exquisite boxes was held in Qian Zhenhua's hands by himself.

Inside the box was the World Tree seed that had been brought back.

Inside the portal, a team of experts in white protective suits emerged. They took the boxes with specialized equipment and immediately began testing them behind the portal.

Only after confirming that there were no dangerous substances attached was it carefully transferred to the rear.

Everything was proceeding in an orderly manner.

Just then, the large screen in the central square of the forward base suddenly lit up.

A familiar and friendly face appeared on the screen.

He is the second-in-command.

He was standing in the isolation observation room inside the portal, waving and smiling at the camera through the thick explosion-proof glass.

"Comrades! Soldiers!! Greetings!!!"

The Second Leader's voice was clearly transmitted to everyone's ears via wireless connection.

"Greetings, Commander!" the soldiers shouted in unison.

Number Two smiled and said:

"It's so nice to see you all again!"

"On behalf of my motherland and the 700 million people of Great Xia, I welcome our heroes home!"

"We are so happy and excited to see that you are all safe and sound!"

"Your families, your comrades-in-arms, are waiting for you!"

"I will keep my promise to everyone and stand here to personally welcome each and every one of you home!"

There were no grand and impassioned speeches, only simple and unadorned words.

But these words instantly struck the softest spot in the hearts of all the soldiers.

Come back home!

These tough guys, who hadn't even blinked in front of the demon army, now had tears in their eyes.

They stood tall and gave a perfect military salute to the figures on the screen!

Long Zhan turned around, his voice as loud as steel.

"First Battalion! All personnel, please!"

"In combat squads, proceed through the portal!"

"yes!"

Soon, the first batch of soldiers, carrying their packs and holding their rifles, lined up in front of the teleportation gate.

They turned around, glanced at the unfamiliar sky, then at the alien race beside them, and finally, their gaze settled on Lin Mo.

Lin Mo nodded to them.

With Long Zhan's command, the first warrior took a deep breath, stepped forward, and entered the door that emitted a blue halo.

Just one step away, two worlds.

As soon as he entered the portal, he was stopped by two "Big Whites" dressed in full white biohazard suits and holding detection instruments.

"Remove all equipment and put it into the conveyor belt."

"Enter disinfection channel number one."

"Next, proceed to testing area number two for a full-body scan."
