Chapter 153
"Gaussian weapons!"
Ying, Ebon and Ren Tao exhaled in relief when they saw the arrival of back-up . The Space Armor Prototype 1’s capability was beyond their wildest expectations . It enabled them to basically lord over the battlefield .
However, it was also incredibly draining . Unlike during training or drills, they were out of breath after a mere 10 minutes on the battlefield . Another 10 minutes and they would be lying exhausted on the floor, and another 15 minutes after that, they would find themselves staring at death!
Therefore, when the backup arrived, relief swept through the 3 of them . Before they could rejoice though, 2 transport shuttles exploded before their eyes . Ying and Ebon gritted their teeth in anger while Ren Tao hung his head in despair .
These worm-like creatures managed to genetically engineer Gaussian weaponry out of their bodies? This was an impossible feat of engineering .
Then again, the giant spaceship on Moon 2 contained polymerized reactors . This was in and of itself a biological impossibility because no natural cells would be able to withstand the high heat created by the reactors… However, the reality was that the giant organism did contain reactors . Not only that, it could even dispense creator’s particles! These were not organic products!
Ren Tao despaired because their enemies not only were endless but also had access to 4th revolution technology . At the same time, the Hope’s greatest fighting force, the Black Star Troopers, were wiped out with 1 shot . Under such circumstances… the only chance for survival the Hope had was to warp in spite of the gravitational influence between the binary stars and from the planet itself . Then pray that mankind would survive the warp . This was an unwinnable battle; in fact, they should consider themselves lucky if they could manage to escape .
The main objective was to defend the opening that led to the Hope . If the tunnel fell into enemy hands, the Hope would either have to warp immediately or wait for a massacre . To complete said objective, they needed the Black Star Troopers to help secure the perimeter around the tunnel so that the defense unit could set up a temporary base around the area . With the opening cleared, the Hope could lift up and warp without fear… but the Black Star Troopers were already gone .
In other words, the defense unit wouldn’t be able to follow up . The only thing that awaited them should they appear would be death! After that it would be the death of humanity!
His sister, she’ll die too . Like how their parents had died on that night… "No!"
Suddenly, a 3-meter-tall person walked out of the shuttle’s smoldering debris . As the smoke dispersed, more silhouettes appeared behind him . Other than a little char on their space armor, they seemed to suffer no damage . Incidentally, the armor’s electromagnetic shields had saved them from the bullets . Ren Tao sighed in relief . The lack of investment into the transport shuttle, meaning it wasn’t equipped with energy reactors, had saved the troopers’ lives . Chain explosions were prevented .
Guang Zhen shook himself awake as he found the energy to stand up . He then ordered, "Start fighting! Spread out with 3 in a team! It’s time for combat!"
However, no one outside of a 1 meter radius from Guang Zhen heard his order . Furthermore, many were still dazed from the explosion . After all, many of the troopers were new army recruits, and the new Homo Evolutis were normal civilians just months ago .
Guang Zhen saw the troopers still immobile, so he changed tack, yelling at the few people around him, "Stick close to me and follow my orders closely . "
The few around him were all Survivors . They were still in a state of disorientation . It wasn't until Guang Zhen repeated himself in a roar that their months-long training kicked in . They replied, "Yes, Sir!"
Guang Zhen started running . Even though he was not a Homo Evolutis, as the leader of an elite force, his physical ability was already miles ahead of normal soldiers . The space armor improved his stride as he circled around the ruins of the 2 shuttles . He yelled at every soldier that he stumbled across to get into battle . After a loop around the shuttles, about 50 people rushed into the fray, brandishing their sawblades . Most of the brave souls were Homo Evolutis from the first batch . The remaining troopers either stood around vacantly or they copied the previous 5 Survivors and unloaded their bullets into the ground around where they stood .
