Chapter 405: Chapter 405: Has Su Wan’s entire army been wiped out?
Gu Jue finished a portion of his official duties and then looked up.
He noticed that Su Wan and the ninth squad had already reached the edge of Landis City.
At the same time, the main force of the eighth Starship Fleet, led by Agros, had arrived at the city center.
Gathering various mission data.
The seventh Starship Fleet was a bit behind.
Gu Jue’s gaze returned to Su Wan.
Logically speaking, there shouldn’t be any danger at the edge of the city.
Many Star Beasts and mutated plants had gathered in the city center.
But...
White Tiger: "Master, His Majesty has sent you a message about young master Xiaochen going to the Forbidden Grounds."
Gu Jue withdrew his thoughts and looked at the message sent by Gu Zilan.
The Imperial Forbidden Grounds.
Originally, their ancestors had left Landis, only stating that this planet was not suitable for survival.
But they didn’t tell anyone exactly what made it unsuitable.
They even warned their descendants not to approach this planet.
Yet sometimes, it is such with humans; the unfathomable secrets always hold endless mysteries.
Over the years, despite their efforts, they had not discovered the true reason.
Yet for some reason, the people of the Federal Empire always cared greatly about this.
It was at this moment when suddenly they heard Eric’s cry of alarm!
"Good heavens, why has the first squad disappeared from the map?"
The first squad he mentioned was the first squad of the eighth Starship Fleet.
Not long ago, although they were trapped, their lives were not in jeopardy!
Gu Jue abruptly raised his head, immediately turning his attention to the screen!
Thank goodness, thank goodness, Xiaowan’s team’s coordinates were still there.
At the same time, Agros also noticed this situation, and his first reaction was to immediately have someone contact Su Wan’s squad.
However, now Su Wan’s ninth squad had lost signal contact just like the previous first squad had.
**
As they moved along, Su Wan carefully noted every plant they saw.
During this time, they also encountered two kinds of Star Beasts they had never seen before.
Their attack power was poor, but they were very fast.
They couldn’t catch even one.
However, at this time, Lin Yu suddenly spoke up, "Captain, the entire signal from the first squad has disappeared..."
Su Wan was suddenly startled!
The others were a bit bewildered, instinctively looking towards Su Wan.
Could the collective disappearance of signals mean they had all been attacked and died instantly?
That couldn’t be possible!
The overall combat power of the first squad was the strongest in the eighth Starship Fleet!
Su Wan: "Can we get in touch with the flagship?"
Sheng An shook his head: "No contact, it’s the same situation as with the previous first squad."
Looking around, Su Wan immediately said to Vermilion Bird, "Continue sending the displacement coordinates to White Tiger!"
"Yes!"
Agros, decisively, immediately contacted Gu Jue!
"Commander Gu, I request... that the seventh Starship Fleet end the assessment ahead of schedule! And call back all Interstellar Warriors at once!"
Although making such a decision was a bit rash,
Agros’s intuition from his multiple mission experiences was telling him that something definitely happened to the first squad!
He just didn’t know the situation of Su Wan’s ninth squad!
But the key point was, they also couldn’t make contact!
Although ending it early would affect the overall performance of the Starship Fleet,
In Agros’s heart, every Interstellar Warrior was extremely important and precious!
He said, "I request to immediately lead the other Starship Fleets for rescue!"
The eighth Starship Fleet’s search mission had only been carried out to about ten percent.
If they stopped now, they would basically be conceding to the seventh Starship Fleet.
But when Agros made this decision, miraculously, none of the others from the six teams objected.
They all immediately armed themselves to the teeth and rushed to the location where the first team had met with trouble.
To rescue their comrades!
Gu Jue said, "Request approved. Also, we will send people from our side too!"
Agros’s heart relaxed, "Yes, Commander!"
Thus, the remaining team members of the eighth Starship Fleet, except for those who stayed on the starship, all moved towards the target coordinates to rescue their comrades.
Meanwhile, on White Tiger’s side, they also received the last set of coordinates sent by Su Wan.
And then...
White Tiger’s voice was trembling, "I can’t contact Vermilion Bird anymore..."
Su Wan had already known that there was a problem with the first team’s signal, which was why she kept intermittently sending the coordinates to White Tiger as she led her team to the rescue.
And when the signal completely cut off, that was the critical point of that place!
Vermilion Bird’s calm voice resounded in Su Wan’s earpiece.
"Master, I can’t contact the outside world at all anymore."
Su Wan’s heart sank.
On the ground, there were no signs of struggle.
Does that mean the first team didn’t encounter troublesome Star Beasts or mutant flora?
It was at this moment that suddenly, Li Mu of the squad let out an astonished cry.
Alex said in exasperation, "Li Mu, I always thought I was the most impetuous one in the team, but why did you suddenly become so agitated?"
Li Mu’s expression was a bit awkward, but he urgently said to Su Wan, "Captain, we’ve been going in circles in the same place!"
According to the map, they were moving forward.
But in reality, they were just going round in circles?
Yet, Bai Qi walked to the roadside and crouched down, "Is this... mushrooms?"
He stretched out his hand and then discovered that from within the mushrooms, a mycelium emerged and then, bit Bai Qi’s hand?
Bai Qi immediately squinted his eyes!
"Captain, these mushrooms are poisonous!"
Just as Bai Qi finished speaking, there was a clang.
Before this, the reason Li Mu had cried out was because a mushroom had bitten him.
He fell straight onto the ground!
"Li Mu!"
Li Mu was an A-class canine Beastman, and in the eighth Starship Fleet, his strength was not weak either.
If he was taken down by just one bite...
Su Wan said, "Everyone, get onto the Mechas, quick!"
As she turned around to bring Li Mu into Vermilion Bird, an even more astonishing scene occurred.
Li Mu’s body was disappearing bit by bit.
The second person to disappear was Bai Qi.
With a look of astonishment on his face, he watched as his hand disappeared bit by bit, after all, he was supposed to be immune to all poisons.
How could a mushroom bite...
Next were Qiao, Lin Yu, and Alex.
They seemed to be consumed by something, bit by bit...
Sheng An quickly flew up into the air!
She wanted to grab Su Wan, and the next moment Su Wan turned her head, she saw that Pandora had also disappeared!
Su Wan saw the mycelium spreading out all over the place and fiercely pushed Sheng An upwards!
"Go tell everyone about this!"
She didn’t know if there were such strange territorial restrictions in mid-air.
But to prevent other teams from encountering the same situation and to spread the word, that was the most important thing!
Then, Su Wan witnessed a sight that shocked her deeply.
Sheng An, wings spread in the midair, had an expression of utter disbelief on her face.
And her body was also disappearing little by little...
Vermilion Bird’s voice in Su Wan’s ears became intermittent.
"Master... Very strong electromagnetic wave interference... My signal is starting to destabilize... Unable to keep communicating with you... Unable to... Space-time... seems to be shifting..."
Su Wan’s vision completely darkened.
Her world too, fell into darkness!
