Chapter 443: Chapter 67 Observation Alliance
This was Xu Mo’s first time seeing the ocean on Byron Star, as well as Ye Qingdie’s and Xiao Qi’s.
After climbing out from the Underworld, they arrived at Steel Dome City amidst the land, then to the Capital, never having had the chance to see the sea.
When Xu Mo saw the endless ocean, he felt somewhat emotional, as the sea breeze made it seem as if he were in a different world.
Ye Qingdie and Zero stood beside him, also gazing at the boundless sea.
For Ye Qingdie, everything seemed new since she came out of the Underworld; she had never before imagined that she would get the chance to see the sea, the majestic vastness of it.
However, this beautiful ocean hid countless dangers.
The ocean was the most dangerous area on Byron Star.
“Will Stark Group also send a team to explore this time?” Xu Mo looked at Stark Hao and asked, “If a Super Energy Body is excavated, to whom does it belong?”
“We cooperate with the Federation Government. If they find it without using our power, we won’t participate. But if the Super Energy Body is excavated through the joint efforts of both parties, it will be studied and developed together, and Stark Group also has the most advanced scientific research institutions,” Stark Hao explained. Without strong technological support, it would hardly be possible for a top-tier group.
“Have you conducted a risk assessment?” Xu Mo asked.
“There should be no problem breaking through the Monster zone since it’s a joint operation. The force that’s being mobilized this time is unprecedented, but the specific risks are unknown, because the Super Energy Body is also unknown. We don’t know what it is or if it harbors any dangers,” Stark Hao continued.
“Taking such a big risk for something unknown,” Xu Mo remarked with a touch of emotion.
“Once technology develops to a certain extent, growth is no longer gradual. With a new technological breakthrough, there can be an explosive increase in the level of technology. We on Byron Star are almost beyond the initial stage,” Stark Hao replied. “Therefore, we must seize such opportunities, although there’s a possibility of failure. But if successful in excavating new technologies, it would be of extraordinary significance for Byron Star, perhaps even elevating it an entire level.”
“Moreover, you are well aware of the situation Byron Star faces. We are in more urgent need of growth than other higher-level civilizations.”
Xu Mo understood Stark Hao’s point. Higher-level civilizations would not teach core technology to other planets. Different civilized races were wary of each other and in an era of interstellar war, every civilization was desperately eager to grow.
Therefore, even other planets had sent teams to Byron Star, seeking to explore the Super Energy Body here.
However, the level of importance varied. The team Byron Star was fielding this time was unprecedentedly powerful. When the Divine Sword Bureau’s major combat teams set out at the same time, it was evident how much importance was placed on this opportunity.
Above their heads, buzzing noises were continuously transmitted. Xu Mo looked up and saw battlecraft streaking across the sky, some even in joint formations, coming from different units.
There were Byron Star’s as well as Alien flying devices, all converging in the coastal area of Coastal City.
“It seems it won’t be calm this time,” Xu Mo said.
If a Super Energy Body were truly discovered, it was highly likely that Byron Star’s combat formation would clash with the Alien combat teams. On Byron Star, they wouldn’t have any reason to back down in such a situation.
The Aliens deploying troops to Byron Star was already an infringement on Byron Star’s sovereignty. Byron Star could not be expected to keep giving in.
Stark Hao looked up, indeed, but no one knew what would happen yet, and they could only wait and see how things unfolded.
More and more people were gathering here. A girl mustered up her courage, approached Xu Mo and said, “Xu Mo, may I take a photo with you?”
“Well…” Just as Xu Mo was about to speak, as if sensing something, he glanced left and right. Ye Qingdie was smiling at him, while Zero’s gaze was fixed on the girl who had approached.
“Maybe not a good idea!” Xu Mo said with an awkward smile.
The group walked away, leaving the girl somewhat disappointed.
Xu Mo and the others got into their vehicle. Tanis said, “How about I run alongside the vehicle?”
Running might be more comfortable than sitting in the car, after all.
“As long as you’re happy,” Li Xiaoman couldn’t help but laugh, having seen how uncomfortable Tanis was before.
The group gradually got into the vehicles and started them, leaving the area. Tanis donned his Armor and, using energy propulsion, kept up with them, running behind the vehicle.
They headed towards the streets within Coastal City.
The streets were very broad, with vehicles coming and going, many of which were armored.
Ahead, a few figures appeared on a building, fully equipped.
Seeing Xu Mo’s approaching vehicle, one of them leaped from the rooftop, landing with a thunderous crash that made the ground tremble, positioning himself squarely in the path of Stark’s and Xu Mo’s advance.
The vehicles stopped. Xu Mo looked towards the building in front, where more people were positioned, their eyes fixed on them.
Sounds came from the side, and then they saw on the buildings flanking the street, more fully-armed individuals running along, flying from edge to edge. One figure leapt into the air, landing on a line, standing stably in mid-air, also looking down towards Xu Mo and the others.
Some of these individuals bore distinctive marks on their attire, indicating their origins.
Many people came to the spot, and seeing the Transcendent blocking the road, many showed a hint of surprise.
