"…12 hours," Yao Yuan answered "You and the feuard, Ye Mu, are the only seekers we have, so I’ll have Ol’ Wong bring her to take over after the 12 hours I’ll be relying on you to keep the surveillance active Dis saluted "Yes, Sir!" Then he , Liu Bia, Ebon, and Ren Tao before leading all 4 of them hastily out of the roo with the surveillance data we have Other than that, continue sa the planet, make sure the excavation continues, and increase the speed if possible In other words, keep to your stations; we need as et… Bo Li, if you can, please stay behind"

The scientists only gotthe , they wished to return to their labs to find out anism!

Finally, only Yao Yuan, Bo Li, and a few technical workers were left in the room Yao Yuan took the opportunity to ask, "Bo Li, you’re the designer and creator of our space combat jet and the space troopers’ equipment I wish to ask… Do you think our current equiph to defend the Hope if a war ensues on this planet?"

A slight panic entered Bo Li’s eye as she answered, "You really think thecreature were to fall from space, the only way the Hope could defend itself would be by warping I don’t think an ato Rail-Cannon will be of any use Yes, they could harreat size, the e to destroy ‘that’ thing"

"Destroy ‘that’ thing huh?" Yao Yuan sardless, temporarily, at least for the next 5 years… the creature won’t come to this planet Call it the Diviner’s intuition, but realistically speaking, it won’t be attacking so soon because one, it hasn’t completely drained thein this planet’s underground

"Therefore, it’screw to test the waters However, since the creature is already in the 4th revolution, and because of its size, we have to suspect that it’ll have a larger population than us… Since we can’t prevail in terms of number… I hope we’ll at least have the upper hand in terms of quality That’s why I asked you those questions"

"In ter to worry about Even though our space coe of 4th revolution and thus pales in comparison to jets that will arise in later revolutions, it won’t be completely overwhelmed It won’t be a situation where we’re the prehistoricstone axes," Bo Li offered

"Furthermore, I think you’ve missed out on an important detail"

Yao Yuan was stumped "What detail?"

Bo Li replied, "The Hoher than the junkyard alien civilization, so they had to rely on norh the warships had great power, they went unused because of their pilots Therefore, I can assure you that in ter as we’re not seriously outnumbered, we’ll be fine A Homo Evolutis-piloted combat jet could easily take on 10 normally-piloted warships! That htly because Bo Li had raised an important point… What if they are seriously outnumbered?

"No matter what, we must try our best to protect this planet! It’ll be ireenery and a blue sea and sky, a planet that could give us hope! How can we allow it to be consumed by an alien monster?! We will never let that happen! If the worst happens, we’ll just reveal our tru led the 9 member unit up to the surface They descended the shuttle but knew not to wander 10 meters away from it, because that was the safe zone… the safe zone froh each of their spacesuits was outfitted with an individual isolator, operating those required a great ay, so they shouldn’t be used unless truly necessary

The ti low in the sky, its surface pockrowth, a usting," Ying said snidely

"This planet shall be mankind’s second home planet We will not allow you to contaminate it!"
