Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The Defense Unit’s progress wasn’t going s (the space armors were too heavy to carry in one piece, so they had to be dis spaceGaussian weaponry, the spaceelectronic pulse rifles They appeared to be h-tech than Gaussian weapons but still not yet in the stage of actual plasma weaponry
Instead of bullets, the weapons shot out electronic currents, and there were basically no misses The most important feature of this weapon was that it wasn’t affected by electronificantly weaker than Gaussian weapons For example, a Defense Unit soldier in space arun would take effect, and even then, the dah to paralyze someone
The space merchants’ aim wasn’t to kill but to capture They intended to capture all the huets were the Homo Evolutis
The Defense Unit soldiers hadn’t faced a weapon like this before, so almost 300 soldiers were incapacitated when the infiltration started The ele the sway of the battle While the rest tried to put up a fight, they were slowly retreating, pushed back by the space est frustration was their loer Gaussian rifles; their poas equivalent to norh the space netic shield? I the space h it was hard to tell whether there was any death on the humans’ side, it was certain that the space merchants had suffered zero deaths Furthermore, the space orillas The soldiers’ bullets basically bounced off their ar a dent
When the Defense Unit retreated to the central mainframe area, more than 500 soldiers were lost and they only had 30 to 40 space armors with them Of course, one of them was the red space ar Zhen had a better experience He went to the base soldiers and Hoe suffered wasn’t so heavy because the basears However, about 200 soldiers fell in theZhen led everyone back to the central mainframe, and in the end, there were only about one thousand soldiers left when they gathered at the central mainframe!
The central hly defensible location because it had only one entrance, creating a bottleneck situation However, it still didn’t bode well for humanity because the difference in quality of weaponry was too big One party had so that was indefensible The paralysis incurred by the electric pulse guns was so strong that once hit, it would take at least a day for its victiht need several shots to fully incapacitate a person, but considering the speed of electrical currents, the few shots only took 2 seconds in total
On the other hand, it required the focus fire of about 10 soldiers on the saet to create a ripple on the space netic shield to temporarily force them back The bottleneck situation limited not only the space merchants’ military but also the Defense Unit’s They could set up a half circle perimeter inside the room instead of the corridor The formation would be more suitable for a more focused line of fire, but they couldn’t do so because behind them was the central ed, be it only a single dent, it would create irreparable dae to such a delicate piece of machinery The central e to it could spell doom to the entirety of human civilization!
One step back was hell!
Therefore, everyone knew that they couldn’t retreat even another step A heavy silence permeated the barricade It was not fear but resoluteness The moment the soldiers at the front fell, the ones behind quickly stepped forth to take their places They took up their weapons and fought alongside their comrades until it was their turn to fall This was repeated continuously
There were no orders from their superiors, but everyone knehat they were supposed to do The soldiers kept stepping forward to block the entrance to the central mainframe There was no exception
To quote what had been said before…
One step back was hell!
Behind the silently, but most of them silently watched this situation unfold It was not a stunned silence but a weighty silence At the last moment, after the soldiers had fallen, the Homo Evolutis and space troopers ere out of their ar, as in the croiped away her tears and started singing Her voice was barely above a whisper, but it cut through the commotion created by the bullets and electrical pulses, the silence that pervaded the air into everyone’s hearts and souls The civilians ere avoiding capture by the space , and those that had been captured by the space merchants all heard her voice
