Chapter 1366: 448. Lots of people! Come quickly!

The combat department of the Angel Enterprises Alliance didn’t have “troop numbers,” so there were no designations like XXX army or XXX regiment.

Thanks to superb biotechnology and real-time computing, every participant and pilot was merely a gear or a screw in the vast machinery of war.

Especially in space naval battles involving more than 500 people, there was no interaction between individuals other than obeying orders.

Moreover, when the number of participants reached 500, this number included only living pilots and crew members, not counting non-living combat units.

For example, fixed turrets, drones, synthetic suicide squads, and various types of intelligent mobility units.

Usually, when a heavy transport ship with a large loading capacity made its appearance, it was inevitably accompanied by at least three thousand non-living combat units.

...

When these highly mobile, command-obedient combat units moved into action, a tremendous spiral storm inevitably arose.

Drones buzzed back and forth like flies, colorful engineering robots were mounted on the drones executing rapid cutting commands, and powerful heavy drones poised, always ready to transport the players’ bodies to the heavy transport ship.

On the periphery of this storm, Artificial Angels and warships were arranged in a ring, vigilantly scanning their surroundings, anxiously awaiting the arrival of the United Bureau Security Escort.

The United Bureau personnel would definitely come.

Definitely.

Even if a high-class special operations warship provided them with an invisible field, the arrival of the United Bureau Security Escort was only a matter of time.

There are no walls that cannot be breached in this world, especially since the plundering team was now facing the “Players,” the “Undying.”

Scientists of the Angel Enterprise Alliance had long been conducting research on the Undying.

The Undying, or the “Players,” these unusual beings naturally possessed a way to connect with each other on a spiritual level.

Even more astonishing, when the players were dead or unconscious, they could still somehow maintain contact with their kind.

At this moment, the players who had been injected with an anesthetic and brought aboard the transport ship were likely already aware of the anomaly in their bodies.

It was only because their bodies had been anesthetized that their souls could not control their physical movements.

Perhaps, at this very moment, some players, while unconscious, had contacted their kind and asked them to come near the black hole to check on the situation and try to awaken their bodies.

And when the reinforcing players approached the plundering site and entered the span of the invisible field, they would immediately detect the presence of the plundering team. noveldrama

All combat personnel must identify any player approaching the invisible field at the earliest opportunity and kill them before they could enter the span of the field.

Only in this way could they possibly minimize the likelihood of a direct encounter with the United Bureau Security Escort.

It wasn’t that the plundering team feared the Security Escort.

It was just unwise to start a battle with the United Bureau Security Escort in a situation where the area was littered with players’ bodies.

“Alert, at position B412-F777, a newly transited Undead ship spotted.”

“Alert, at position G399-K238, two newly transited battleships detected.”

Warning messages circulated on the encrypted communication channel as combat units aimed their sniper laser turrets at their targets.

Cruisers, battle cruisers, and battleships—the docking areas for these three types of warships were quite distant from the plundering scene.

Upon arriving via transit, they didn’t fly towards the direction of the plundering team but docked elsewhere.

Only the escort ships might fly this way because this was their docking area.

If any escort ships approached, the plundering team would open fire.

As soon as a gun went off, someone would die.

If someone died, the surprise occurrence near the perimeter of the black hole would spread, and the countdown for the plundering team’s operation would begin.

The good news was, within ten minutes after the plundering operation began, all the ships that transited to the black hole were escort ships.

The plundering scene had not been breached by the players.

But in the 12th minute, a bizarre phenomenon caught the attention of the plundering team.

Before their eyes, several battleships, while navigating to the docking area, accelerated straight ahead and slammed into the ships anchored ahead without any evasive maneuvers.

This was strange.

Very strange.

Even if the pilots themselves were incapacitated due to sudden incidents, the ship’s navigation computers would avoid collisions with other ships.

The sight unfolding before the plundering team was as if both the pilots and the computers on board had simultaneously malfunctioned.

“What’s going on with those battleships?”

“Report, no magnetic storm signals detected, electromagnetic interference initially ruled out.”

“Report, no abnormal energy signals detected, the possibility of power device malfunction initially ruled out.”

“Report, life signs detected, the vital signs of the Undying aboard those battleships are stable, but they are all immobile.”

In the encrypted communication channel, everyone quickly exchanged information using a series of pulse signals as the carrier, exchanging their findings like lightning.

In less than a second, they reached a conclusion:

The souls of the Undying aboard those battleships must have been abruptly taken by the black hole, causing the ships to go out of control.
