335: Carter's Rescue Mission

Carter was dressed in a neat captain's uniform, his posture straight, his eyes revealing firmness and confidence.

"Carter, is your starship alright right now?"

Seeing Carter appear on the light screen, Li Yang's worry eased slightly, but he still couldn't help but ask eagerly.

His gaze was fixed on the light screen, fearing that the only starship that had managed to get in would also have problems.

"Reporting to Captain Li Yang."

Carter immediately straightened up, gave a standard military salute, his voice loud and clear.

"The starship only sustained a slight damage when crossing the area of the Power of Rules. After emergency repairs by the technical Staff members on board, there is currently no major problem. We are now proceeding at full speed along the scheduled route to the target planet."

As Carter spoke, he turned to look at the busy and orderly bridge behind him, his eyes full of trust in his crew and starship.

"That's good."

Li Yang nodded slightly, saying with a solemn expression.

"Upon arrival at the target planet, your primary mission is to prioritize finding the missing personnel. You must maintain a high degree of vigilance to ensure their safety. After that, find a way to inquire about the civilization on the planet in as much detail as possible. This is crucial for us to understand this mysterious area and unravel the mystery of the Power of Rules."

"Yes, mission accomplished!"

Carter replied firmly, his voice echoing in the communication channel, as loud and powerful as a great bell.

After the communication with Carter successfully concluded, Li Yang's tightly strung nerves finally relaxed slightly, and he slowly let out a breath.

He silently murmured to himself, it's good that nothing happened. As long as the starship and personnel are safe, that is a blessing in disguise.

As of now, although the process has been full of twists and turns, the overall operation has been relatively smooth, which undoubtedly brought great encouragement to everyone.

Li Yang turned, looking at Comrade Hua Dong with a sincere gaze, and said earnestly.

"Comrade Hua Dong, the research work on the Power of Rules is entirely entrusted to you. This mission is crucial and full of unknowns and challenges. I hope you can put in more effort to thoroughly research this mysterious Power of Rules as soon as possible. It not only relates to the success or failure of this mission but also has profound significance for our exploration of this unknown area."

Li Yang's eyes were full of expectation. He knew Comrade Hua Dong's professional abilities well. Entrusting him with this important task now, he felt both trust and a hint of worry.

"Comrade Li Yang, you can rest assured!"

Comrade Hua Dong patted his chest, saying with a confident expression.

"In my research career, this kind of similar Power of Rules is not the first time I've encountered it. I have participated in several related researches before. Although I was not the main researcher in those times, I have accumulated a lot of experience. This time, I will go all out, mobilize all my knowledge and resources, and spare no effort to overcome this difficult problem."

Comrade Hua Dong's eyes sparkled with firm light, as if proclaiming to Li Yang that he had enough confidence and determination to complete this arduous task.

Seeing this, Li Yang nodded in satisfaction.

From Comrade Hua Dong's words and expression, he felt the other party's professionalism and responsibility.

Subsequently, Li Yang, along with Lin Bi and the accompanying people, slowly left the research Space Station.

Although the path ahead was still full of unknowns, at this moment, because of Comrade Hua Dong's promise and the starship that successfully entered the target area, they felt a bit more confident and hopeful.

On their way out, everyone's minds were pondering the next steps and how to better cooperate with Comrade Hua Dong... And at this very moment, above that mysterious target planet, a Guard Escort Ship, like a giant steel beast, was quietly docked in its outer space.

The hull, illuminated by the light reflected from the planet, gleamed with a cold metallic luster.

"Captain Carter..."

In the Command Room, a Staff member stared intently at the control panel in front of him, with various data rapidly flickering on the screen.

Immediately after, he quickly turned to face Carter, his tone carrying a hint of excitement and urgency, and quickly reported.

"After a comprehensive, high-precision scan of the target planet, we successfully captured the signal source of the smart brain worn by the missing personnel. The communication line is currently ready, and we can contact them at any time."

"That's good."

A hint of relief finally appeared on Captain Carter's tense face. He nodded slightly, his eyes revealing decisiveness and steadfastness.

"Quickly contact them, and make sure the communication is smooth to understand their specific situation."

"Yes!"

The Staff member immediately turned around, skillfully operating the communication equipment, and a series of commands were rapidly issued.

At the same time, in the still quiet but hidden dangerous forest on the planet's surface, the missing people were in an extremely tense atmosphere.

They tightly gripped the energy guns in their hands, and the light swords had also been activated, their blades shimmering with a faint blue light, reflecting their serious and slightly tired faces.

Everyone was on high alert, their eyes fixed on the front.

In front of them, a gigantic beast, as massive as a mountain, was staring at them menacingly.

This beast, in terms of shape and appearance, was extremely similar to a gorilla, but it was immeasurably larger than an ordinary gorilla.

Its thick limbs were like huge stone pillars, deeply embedded in the ground, every muscle bulging, as if containing infinite power.

Its entire body was covered with a layer of rough and thick black fur, shimmering with an eerie luster under the dappled sunlight. Its pair of huge eyes were like deep black holes, emitting a chilling fierce light.

"Damn, what is this thing again, why is it so f*cking big..."

A Soldier couldn't help but curse in a low voice, his voice carrying a hint of fear of the unknown.

In front of this giant beast, they appeared so tiny, like ants.

"How much energy do the energy guns and battle armor still have?"

The captain suppressed the panic in his heart, asking with a slight tremor in his voice.

He knew that in this perilous situation, energy reserves were crucial for everyone's survival.

"Only about ten percent left..."

A Soldier quickly checked the instrument in his hand and replied anxiously.

"The battle armor only has a few percent left, and it probably won't last long."

Hearing this, the captain's face instantly turned as pale as a sheet of white paper.

He knew in his heart that with the current energy situation, facing this powerful giant beast, they had almost no chance of winning.

But as the captain, he had to remain calm, think of countermeasures, and not let fear spread among the team.

This pitiful amount of energy was simply a drop in the bucket if they wanted to contend with the giant beast in front of them.

The captain secretly mused that given the meager energy remaining in the energy guns and battle armor, they could at most barely injure it. To completely kill this giant ape was simply a fantasy.

This was not the first time they had encountered these various monstrous beasts on this mysterious planet.

Before this, they had also experienced countless close encounters with various strange creatures, but those monsters were simply insignificant compared to the mountain-sized giant ape in front of them.

Each encounter battle made them deeply realize the danger and unknown nature of this planet, and this time, it was undoubtedly the biggest crisis they had faced.
