Barrett Walker didn't know how that day had passed, but he later, with a surge of determination, promised to find a way to thaw these people out intact. Wasn't he just setting himself up for failure? If he couldn't complete it, who knows how serious the consequences would be. But for now, the most important thing is to focus on self-improvement.

Of course, the base didn't have the equipment he needed. He had just crawled out of the high-pressure chamber with over ten times the gravity, leaving Barrett's body a deep shade of purple and completely drained of strength. Benjamin Blake was waiting outside, and said to Barrett, "I don't know what kind of monster you are, daring to set the gravity so high, over ten times! Why didn't you transform? Do you realize how dangerous that is? If something happened to you, what would I do?"

Barrett looked up at Benjamin with annoyance and said, "I suppose you think I have the S-level top-secret password! If I were to lie in bed for a few days, you'd probably go crazy from withdrawal!"

At that moment, the powerful potential within Barrett's body quickly kicked in, and soon he had the strength to stand up, no longer fooling around, and he asked seriously, "Have you found a way to thaw them out?"

"Not yet! But those generals are undergoing intense and relentless training! They're completely on par with you, but what are you worried about? The freezing won't damage their bodily functions. If some of these geniuses can automatically unlock their genetic code, and enter the forbidden zone, they might just wake up on their own. And these kind of people are almost like superheroes!" Benjamin said, as he grabbed Barrett and they quickly entered the elevator, descending rapidly.

It must be said that the lowest level of the warehouse is a man's paradise. Every time you come here, it's a pleasant surprise! Of course, it's also the best place to relax after the high-pressure training. Barrett inserted the key into the slot, entered a long password, and the warehouse door rumbled open.

Inside, there were all kinds of brand new sports cars, as well as military Humvees, tanks, helicopters, and fighter jets. All the machines that men dream of. Barrett chuckled and said, "What do you want to race today?"

Looking at Barrett's annoying face, Benjamin wanted to punch him hard and turn him into a panda. This man could only be described as a national treasure. Considering his familiarity with fighter jets, the first time Barrett flew, he looked so clumsy that Benjamin laughed at him at first, but later they made a bet, and he ended up losing to Barrett. Watching him become more and more proficient, Benjamin once asked if he had ever flown a fighter jet before, but Barrett said it was his first time. From that moment on, Benjamin never dared to bet with Barrett, the weirdo who could learn and mimic anything.

"What about the F22 for me today? It's pretty good," Benjamin quickly walked towards his beloved aircraft, on which he had already painted his initials, M-L! This word easily led to misunderstandings, and Barrett had asked him to change it several times, but he always laughed it off.

"I think I'll go with the J-20!" Barrett said provocatively. He now felt like he was at the top, but was lacking a worthy opponent. However, he knew that these were just illusions. His opponent was not Benjamin Blake, but the war god of the Federation, and even the entire alien monster. As he caressed the cold and robust body of the J-20, compared to the F22, he was like an agile fat man. Barrett climbed the ladder into the cockpit and started pressing the various buttons.

"J-20, take off!" Barrett shouted into the headset. The fighter jet began to accelerate down the runway, gradually picking up speed. After sliding for who knows how many kilometers, it suddenly burst out of the mountainside, far from the War God Academy.

"Benjamin Blake scolded as he swiftly maneuvered the F22 jet marked 'M-L' to catch up with Barrett Walker. 'Where shall we go for fun? How about a tour around the capital city?' he inquired eagerly.

'Are you out of your mind? We wouldn't even dare to enter the airspace of the other major satellite cities, let alone the capital! These unknown aircraft suddenly appearing could easily shoot us down,' Barrett retorted with irritation. They were limited to practicing in this area, as they had no navigation or positioning system. If they ventured too far, it would become a major challenge to return.

'Do you fear it?' Benjamin taunted.

'I fear nothing but you, my friend,' Barrett retorted sarcastically.

'Well, since you're not afraid, we always take off with a full tank of fuel, enough to circle the earth several times. Let's go! It's only worth it if we take some risks. Flying around here all the time is so boring!' Benjamin declared.

'Fine, I'll go first!' Barrett's heart had already been swayed, but he was just trying to be subtle. However, once he made up his mind, he would go all in. With a loud explosion, the J-20 jet disappeared at twice the speed of sound.

'You bloody fool! You're messing with me again!' Benjamin shouted, opening the radar only to find Barrett gone. He then headed towards the red area displayed on the radar.

At that moment, they had no idea that a battle of life and death awaited them.

'Barrett, where the hell are you right now?'

'Up above you, you idiot!' The speed of both jets slowed down as they looked down upon the magnificent city of Beijing from high above. The city's skyline was a sight to behold, with its towering buildings stretching endlessly. They had come from the south and could see a clear river - the Yellow River. However, it became murky as it flowed through the city.

'What do we do now? Should we fly in? There could be military bases around here! If they fire a missile at us, we're done for.' Benjamin joked.

'Look to the north, what's that?' Barrett did not respond to Benjamin's question, but instead focused on a rapidly approaching mass on the radar. They were clearly not hiding themselves and were flying at a great altitude.

'Oh my god! Is it an alien invasion?' Benjamin was almost astonished as he looked at the densely packed mass on the radar. He had heard that the aliens had begun their attack, but had not expected to encounter them directly, especially attacking the city from the sky. 'What do we do? These people down there seem unaware! Should we warn them?'

Before Benjamin could finish his sentence, Barrett had already steadily increased the altitude of his aircraft, speeding towards the unknown object. He wanted to see what it was before making a decision.

'Damn it! I'm never flying with you again. I'm just unlucky this time. Sacrificing my life for a friend!' Benjamin cursed and followed Barrett towards the unidentified entity on the radar."
