    Demon race...


    Of course, that was if these weird things they were facing were indeed the demon race. In any case, the 150 ck Star Troopers annihted these monsters using their sawdes while suffering zero loss. Then the sma weapons were used to decimate the monsters’ remains. All of this only took several minutes.


    "This is the so-called demon race? They are so weak!" Ebonughed in his booming voice.


    Ebon was covered in so many broken remains that his space armor had lost its original color. However, it did not worry him, because after pressing a button, a sh of electricity pulsed through his armor’s surface and the remains were evaporated. The shining space armour was now as good as new.


    Guang Zhen sidled to Ebon’s side whileughing and said solemnly, "Is this really the time for that? Have you forgotten the rules of the battlefield after a few years of peace?"


    Ebon segued into dryughs and quickly ordered a few troopers to get to work. Right then, Liu Bai walked to Guang Zhen’s side and said, "Commander, as the leading medic of this unit, my suggestion is that... we do not take any samples of these creatures with us, because I cannot guarantee we have really demolished them."


    Guang Zhen nodded as he lifted his head to gaze into the distance. "You are right, we did not really destroy them... or rather, we did not destroy them all. You guys are unable to see what I have seen... These monsters, after their physical bodies were destroyed, other than the few that surrounded several troopers, the rest all changed back to be part of the nightmare. They surround us heavily, roaring at us relentlessly..."


    Liu Bai looked at him with a frown. He scoffed, "Commander, don’t tell me you’re afraid? What is there to be afraid of regarding these monsters?"


    Guang Zhen did not get mad from the interrogation. After all, Liu Bai was one of his earliestrades. He merely smiled and said, "I’m not really afraid... but these dreams are frighteningly real. Even the desire deep down in my heart was presented before me. This feeling... is horrible!"


    Liu Bai was silent for some time after he heard that. Suddenly, he waved at a group of Gaussian snipers a distance away from them. As the long-ranged unit got closer, he turned to Guang Zhen and said, "Commander, where is this nightmare that you see?"


    Guang Zhen was taken aback by the question. He replied as his gaze scanned the troopers that had gathered around them. "This is not necessary. Haven’t we tried this before? All long range weapons are useless against them. The bullets will disappear when they get close or will be changed into something else. Other than closebat, there is no way..."


    Liu Bai ignored Guang Zhen and ordered the few troopers to fire down the direction Guang Zhen was looking at earlier. The focus fire riddled the ground with bullets, but it did not seem to have done any damage.


    Guang Zhen was silent. He pped Liu Bai on his soldier. He then walked towards the technical team not far away and said, "You’re worried about me... Don’t worry, I will survive. I know Ying’s death is hanging on your mind. It’s hanging on mine too, so don’t worry. I will not be defeated by mere dreams so easily!"


    On the other hand, Xiao Niao and Zhang Heng were busy alongside 10 plus ck Star Troopers. Among them, arge device was being built. Xiao Niao was ordering the troopers around to fix the parts. The device would bepleted soon.


    Right then, Guang Zhen joined them. He asked Xiao Niao, "How long will it take for the super functionality electromaic radar to be built?"


    Xiao Niao answered instantly, "It will be done in the next three minutes. Don’t worry, we have had dry runs building this device on the Hope, so it will not take that long. What I am worried about though is what if this device still cannot help us find the Noah One?"


    Guang Zhen sighed. "In that case, we will try our best to spread out. Now, none of us can guarantee that the Noah One is still there, and we cannot guarantee there are still living humans on it, but... since we’re already here, then we will have toplete this mission."


    Xiao Niao thought about it before shrugging helplessly. Then Guang Zhen turned to Zhang Heng and said, "How is the danger level now? Is there anything we should be concerned about?"


    Zhang Heng gave a curious expression before shaking his head. "Actually... I have been feeling the danger ever since wended on this. It has never stopped, and if you want the truth, this kind of danger is simr to life-threatening danger, and it is only getting stronger."


    When Zhang Heng said that, everyone there shivered from chills. After all, Zhang Heng was the most famous Diviner, and he was the strongest Diviner on the Hope (Eva being the exception). His danger sense had never failed them before, so when he said the danger was life-threatening, no one dared to doubt him.


    "In any case..." Guang Zhen was calm. He said as he turned back around, "Get the device ready first and try to scan the situation on this. If there is really nothing... we wille up with another n or we will return to the Hope."


    Several minutester, the device was activated and supermaic waves scanned the. In just seconds, the situation all over the was recorded by the device. This was several million times better than Earth’s radars!


    When one said the situation all over the, it meant all over the, from the surface to the underground. In actuality, if they were allowed to use the radar on the Hope, they would be able to scan the entire sr system. This too was a product of the 4th revolution.


    The scan result was presented to everyone. Like how it was on the Hope, due to some reasons, the electromaic waves were greatly blocked. Most of the radar results were nk spaces. However, perhaps because they were on the itself, the 200 kilometers around them were sessfully scanned, and what they saw was frightening and exciting.


    "Look! This underground space is too suspicious. Look at that, those are human beings! They are inbat with creatures of some kind. There are several thousand of those creatures!"


    Ebon was the first to cry out when they saw the result. He was ready to wrangle the troops together.


    However, the more experienced Guang Zhen asked the operator, "That’s all? There’s no evidence of a spaceship? Where is the Noah One? These humans couldn’t have just appeared out of nowhere. Where is the important Noah One?"


    The operator continued working for several seconds before replying, "Sorry, the rest of the ces are still nk. This is the limit that we can scan, and we did not discover any spaceship parts. But Commander, please look at this... This area near those humans, those are human buildings, and this part on the surface looks like a small town. There are humanoids there. Those are probably humans as well."


    Xiao Niao chimed in, "I have a hypothesis. Perhaps the Noah One suffered irreparable damage during warp, so the survivors built this town on the surface to survive. Then most humans moved in, this is evidenced by our scan result, and then they probably chopped the Noah One apart to be salvaged as building materials for this base. The humans underground... Perhaps it has to do with the demonization on this. They were trapped underground due to some reasons. This is the only possibility I can think of."


    Guang Zhen’s eyebrows were locked in deep thought. Even though he was not a Thinker, he was still a veteran soldier. For some reason, his instinct told him that these humans underground were a trap and that the town on the surface was too suspicious. Why would the environment for these two groups of humans be so different? One of them was surrounded and the other was safely inside a town?


    However, the situation demanded action. The several thousand people trapped underground, ording to Yao Yuan’s information, were important talents, and they were the main targets of this mission. They were heavily surrounded by unknown creatures and could be wiped out at any minute, so there was no time to waste.


    "...Liu Bai, you and Ebon bring 30 troopers to head towards the town. Be careful anddon’t let your guard down just because it is a supposedly human town. The rest of you, follow me. We are going underground!"
