After faking her death in interstellar space, the powerful woman disguised herself as a man and went

Dawn has arrived, and the sky is bright.

The members of the Nirvana Mech Corps clashed with the alien beast army. Gunfire roared, flames soared into the sky, and explosions, along with the roars of the alien beasts, created a grand symphony.

The air was thick with the smell of gunpowder and blood. The monsters rampaged across the battlefield, letting out low growls. The warriors of the Nirvana Mech Regiment did not back down, wielding all kinds of weapons, and fought bravely among the monster army.

Mu Yingwei kept his eyes glued to the screen: "Commander, a besieged mech squad has been spotted in the southwest!"

Wei Shenghuang ended the life of a strange beast with a single sword strike: "Third Brigade, go provide support!"

While the Nirvana Mech Corps was engaged in fierce combat, a small mech squad retreated to the rear, surrounding the freshmen and protecting them in the center, wary of stray bullets and attacking alien beasts.

Captain Zheng Min, who was leading the group, stepped forward and announced loudly, "First-year students of Storm Military Academy, I am Zheng Min, the captain of the third squad of the fifth battalion of the Nirvana Mech Regiment. Next, our Nirvana Mech Regiment will ensure your safety and take you back to the third branch base!"

"Please wait here for a moment until the main force finishes the battle and we return together!"

This time, they were truly safe, but no one cheered. On the contrary, everyone felt heavy-hearted.

The dawn had broken, but Instructor Ouyang would never see it again.

They only knew him as Instructor Ouyang, but never his real name.

Ouyang Mo.

Half an hour later, the A-rank Blazing Bird escaped wounded, and the beast army temporarily retreated. Wei Shenghuang feared there were still ambushes ahead, so after rescuing the trapped instructors, she did not pursue them any further.

Instructor Lin was covered in wounds and unconscious. He was carried out of the cockpit. The remaining wounded instructors were also taken out one by one. The medical team, escorted by two battalions, took them back to the base first.

Wei Shenghuang looked at the chaotic battlefield and said, "Clean up the battlefield and prepare to return."

The injured students were carried back by the mech soldiers, who held them in their hands, while those who were not seriously injured stood on various parts of the mechs, on their shoulders and feet; the mechs were already quite full of students.

Commander Ying Guan stood on the mecha's left foot, trembling as he hugged the mecha's leg: "I'm a little scared... what should I do if I'm afraid of heights?"

Ai Anbang grabbed him: "Then close your eyes and don't look down. If you fall, I'll catch you."

The group quickly set off. Leng Ran stood on the left shoulder of the Vulcan of the Micro Phoenix, looking down at the desolate desert, littered with the remains of mechs and alien beasts.

A gust of wind blew by, raising sand and dust that gradually covered the remains, eventually burying them under the vast yellow sand, where they fell silent.

Time may bury the old battlefields, but it will not bury humanity's determination to fight the monsters to the end.

The new students looked at the charred battlefield with mixed feelings; this was the first time they had faced the brutality and cruelty of war.

Wei Shenghuang spoke softly: "Mo Li, do you know that we will try our best to bring back the bodies of our comrades and bury them in the martyrs' cemetery, but in most cases, we simply cannot find their bodies."

Anning Star has never been at peace, and this endless yellow sand is the burial place of countless heroic souls.

Heroic Star.

He Yuanyang was drinking tea at his desk, processing some messages sent by Stormstar.

Recently, for some unknown reason, the number of patients with hemosquamation who have developed self-awareness has surged. In just over half a month, ten cases have been discovered. Fortunately, Cao Yike secretly sent his trusted confidants to deal with them, thus preventing the matter from being exposed to the public.

He Yuanyang suddenly felt a headache coming on. He really wanted to fly back to Storm Star to investigate the matter, but he was also worried that the alien beasts would make a comeback and attack Hero Star, so he couldn't leave for the time being.

Sigh, is Ling Yunjun already investigating this matter? Ah Li might know something; let's find an opportunity to ask her.

He closed his eyes wearily and rubbed his temples. Just then, his adjutant, Wang Chang, walked in to report on the situation on Heroic Soul Star that day.

"Commander, researchers have discovered that the cosmic energy fluctuations near Heroes Soul Star are gradually stabilizing. The space-type alien beasts may have left, but it is unknown whether they will return."

"Hmm, let's observe for another week." He Yuanyang opened his eyes. "By the way, how's the training going for those students on Anning Star?"

"Everything is going smoothly. The communications from yesterday morning said that the third-year students have been patrolling the No. 3 sub-base on the border for several days, while the first-year students have gone to the desert oasis for hunting exercises," Wang Chang said. "We haven't contacted Instructor Song yet. If you're curious, Commander, why don't we go to the command room together for communications?"

He Yuanyang nodded: "Alright, let's go take a look together."

Before the two even entered the command room, a communications soldier rushed out in a panic, nearly bumping into He Yuanyang.

Wang Chang asked, "What's wrong? Why are you so flustered?"

The communications soldier cried out anxiously, "Anning Star has lost contact!"

He Yuanyang was taken aback: "What?"

Communications officer: "This morning we contacted Anning Star as usual, sending the communication signal three times, but we didn't receive any reply. It's as if the signal disappeared into thin air!"

As He Yuanyang thought about the stabilizing cosmic energy around Yinghun Star, a bad premonition slowly took shape, making his heart skip a beat.

He muttered to himself, "Luring the tiger away from the mountain...it's that trick again!"

Wang Chang also realized what was happening: "You mean, the alien beasts attacked Anning Star?"

He Yuanyang said coldly, "Notify the research department to monitor the cosmic energy fluctuation index around Anning Star. Also... prepare the troops; we're going to attack back!"

The alarm sounded at the Heroes Soul Star Base, and everyone at the base sprang into action. He Yuanyang also rushed to the warship's docking point.

Wang Chang said anxiously, "Commander, if we go back to reinforce now, even if we advance at full speed, it will take three days! This time the beasts are coming in a fierce wave, I'm afraid... they won't be able to hold out until we arrive."

"Wang Chang, although Anning Star has never known peace, it has never fallen. All we can do is believe that they can hold out until then!"

In just five minutes, all the soldiers assembled, boarded the warship, and embarked on their journey back to Anning Star.
