"More 'advanced'?" Rosie's brow furrowed slightly, her fair fingers unconsciously twisting the corners of her clothes. A barely perceptible tremor lingered in her voice. She tilted her head back and looked at Kyle, her clear eyes filled with worry and confusion.

Kyle was silent for a moment, a complex mix of emotions flickering in his deep amber eyes. He spoke slowly, his voice low and hoarse, like gravel rubbing against a heartstring. "I can't explain the specifics. But what is certain is that this energy is far more dangerous than anything we've encountered before."

He paused, not continuing. There were things he didn't want her to know, things he didn't want her to worry about. He even sensed a sense of "rules" within the dark energy, a feeling that made his heart palpitate.

Rosie looked at Kyle. He was still as stern as ever, like a silent mountain, reliable and strong. But she could sense that he was hiding something.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of it." Kyle's voice sounded in her ears, low and powerful, with unquestionable firmness.

Rosie's heart trembled slightly. She knew that Kyle was comforting her and making a promise to her. She leaned gently into Kyle's arms, feeling the warmth and strength from him, and the uneasiness in her heart gradually subsided.

She snuggled in his arms, the faint scent of gunpowder lingering on her nose, mixed with the cold smell of metal, unexpectedly reassuring her. The curve of Luo Xi's mouth softened her delicate features, but she had made up her mind: tomorrow she would start distributing supplies and benefits on Taoyuan Star.

Humph, she didn't want to be a flower in a greenhouse. She wanted to become strong, strong enough to fight alongside Kyle, instead of just hiding behind him and accepting his protection.

Luo Qian secretly clenched her fists, thinking that as long as she distributed supplies and benefits within Taoyuan Star, her power of faith would increase. With the power of faith, she could exchange it for points through the system and increase her strength.

She wants to become stronger quietly and then surprise everyone!

……

The Night Owl deftly dodged a floating meteorite, its hull gleaming coldly under the starlight. Lu Ye's peach-shaped eyes were fixed on the screen, where a faint red dot was rhythmically flashing.

It was a fluctuation of dark energy. Although weak, it was particularly dazzling in this dead starry sky.

"Finally caught you, little rat," Lu Ye muttered to himself, a smile on his lips. His slender fingers moved swiftly on the control panel, adjusting the battleship's course and slowly approaching the red dot.

As the distance got closer, Lu Ye discovered that there were some...traces of artificial buildings on the desolate asteroid.

Most of those buildings have collapsed, leaving only some ruins. Under the starlight, they cast mottled shadows, like silent monsters, quietly gazing at the starry sky.

Lu Ye's heartbeat quickened slightly. He had a premonition that he might have discovered something... extraordinary.

He carefully maneuvered the Night Owl, slowly landing on the asteroid's surface. The battleship's engines emitted a low roar, echoing in the silent starry sky like the sigh of some ancient creature.

Lu Ye jumped off the battleship and stepped on the hard rock, making a "crackling" sound. He looked around and found a hidden cave. The entrance of the cave was blocked by a huge rock. It was difficult to find it without looking carefully.

From deep within the cave, there was a faint and disturbing smell, like the breath of some evil creature, which made people shudder.

Lu Ye took a deep breath, gripped the energy gun tightly, and walked towards the cave. He was extremely careful with every step he took, fearing that he might disturb something.

The cave was much more spacious than he had imagined. Lu Ye turned on the light on his helmet and discovered that this was actually a... crude laboratory.

In the laboratory, there are all kinds of strange instruments and containers. Some unknown liquids are flowing slowly in the containers, emitting strange light.

Lu Ye frowned tightly. He walked to a workbench and found an...experimental record on it.

He picked up the records and read them carefully. The records contained information about research on "alien humans" and... experiments involving implanting ferocious beast cores into humans.

Lu Ye's pupils suddenly contracted, and he finally understood where those monsters came from.

"I see..." he muttered, a hint of shock and anger in his voice.

He tried to copy the experimental records, but as soon as his fingers touched the control panel, a shrill alarm suddenly sounded.

"Damn it!" Lu Ye cursed inwardly. He knew that he had triggered the alarm device.

At this moment, bursts of low roars came from deep in the cave, as if something was waking up.

Lu Ye turned around abruptly and saw a... transformed "alien" slowly walking towards him.

That "alien" had a human form, but his body was covered with organs similar to those of ferocious beasts, making him look ferocious and terrifying.

Its eyes flashed with bloodthirsty light as it stared at Lu Ye as if it was looking at a delicious prey.

"Roar--"

The "alien" roared and pounced towards Lu Ye.
