Chapter 16 - 27

"Scott, you..."

Rocard had been thinking back on Lao Yu's gloomy expression, but was shaken by Scott's suddenly imposing aura. He quickly pulled back the smiling expression on his face and looked at Scott with a serious expression.

It was especially because he saw that Scott's quantum beast Caesar, a black panther, had appeared. Caesar stayed by Scott's side, its cold beast's eyes the same silver as Scott's. It was attentively watching his side.

Rocard was very familiar with Scott, his close childhood friend, but he still had a full-bodied sense of awe when he was facing Scott's Caesar.

He understood that this was the power of a higher-level sentinel.

Even if Scott wasn't purposefully emitting it, it was just this type of incessant momentum that made Rocard, the heir of the Maca family, perfectly happy to become Scott's subordinate.

Facing the pressure of Scott's strength, Rocard suddenly felt nostalgic for some reason, but it was quickly cast away ——

He wasn't a trembling M!

Then he remembered what had happened the last time Scott had such an imposing aura.

It was just when the old Marshal had handed down the position of the commander of the Heaven's Wrath Corps. Because of his young age, there were some members of the Corps that were disloyal and planned to betray them. Scott Alman, who was barely thirty years old at the time, directly struck them down like lightning. The traitors who dared to band together and betray them were bloodily suppressed.

It was also this bloody cleansing that allowed the commanders of the other two Corps to understand that the Alman family had a strong, iron-willed Marshal.

It wasn't odd that the common people of the Interstellar worshipped Scott Alman as an idol. It was because he deserved it!

He had demonstrated his extremely strong commanding abilities in the last ten years on the battlefield against Dimensional Zergs. He had saved many of the Federation's people who had been threatened by the Zergs.

Recalling his good friend's experiences, Rocard was frankly very curious about that would emit such an aura, and if it would have a great effect on the Federation.

Scott didn't respond to Rocard's curiosity. He just used his light brain to send another, even more encrypted file to him.

Scott's actions made Rocard increasingly puzzled. He could only look down and open the file. However, when he saw the contents of the file, his eyes couldn't help but widen.

"Scott! This – this is really true?!"

After he finished reading, Rocard couldn't even speak clearly. Now, he completely understood why Scott had placed such importance on the intruder. If their guess was correct, it wouldn't be just for him, but it would also be the greatest discovery for all the intelligent life forms that were fighting against the Dimensional Zergs!

Scott turned his head to look at the excited Rocard, and nodded slightly.

"If this person really understands what the code means."

The words were uncertain, but Scott's tone made it clear that the mysterious man could decipher the content of the signals they gathered from the Dimensional Zergs.

That's right, for Scott to attach such importance to it, it could only be something related to humanity and the Federation.

The code in the program that the mysterious person, who had dared to attack the Heaven's Wrath Corps' network, used was very similar to the converted code that Scott had gotten from the Dimensional Zergs' signals.

Even if the two weren't exactly the same, the similarity between the two programs made Scott believe that the mysterious man could decipher the language the Dimensional Zergs used to communicate.

"I understand. I will definitely find this person. Even if he hides in the heart of the Dimensional Zergs' territory, I will dig him out!"

Rocard's eyes shined, imagining a beautiful future, and even his quantum beast, a pretty fiery-red fox, appeared. The fox was watching Scott with the same glimmer in its eyes as its master, Rocard.

"I am giving you responsibility for this matter. I will give a report to the President so the Presidential Palace can assist your operation."

"Of course!"

On Planet XT781, Wu Zimo had just extracted all the useful data from the videos. He was unaware that he had unexpectedly proked such a large nuisance.

Well then, it didn't matter if it was a nuisance at the moment. It was true Wu Zimo had currently provoked a powerful country that could move about unhindered in the Interstellar, and such a result was the last thing he wanted to face as a hacker.

Fortunately, when he invaded the Heaven's Wrath Corp's network, Planet XT781 was near the border of humanity's and the Dimensional Zerg's battlefield. He used the Heaven's Wrath Corp's network and his final and ferocious 'suicide' fleeing strategy to inadvertently escape the risk of being dug out.

Otherwise, if he had used the First Military Academy's network, he would have been like a hacking god hiding away in a mousehole and been dug out by Rocard.

Right now, ignorance really was bliss. Wu Zimo truly didn't know that he had provoked such a huge annoyance.

The Heaven's Wrath Corps and the Presidential Palace were currently looking for him. If they couldn't find him, they might expand their search to the entire Federation. In the end, it might reach the point where all of the countries in the Interstellar fighting against the Dimensional Zergs would be searching for him.

In any case, if it really got that far, Wu Zimo ought to be satisfied as a transmigrator.

Was there a previous transmigrator that was as incredible as he was?! Someone who could overturn the universe?! Wu Zimo's galaxy was right in front of him!

Cough cough, Great God Mo, who could explore the galaxy in the future, was currently busy upgrading his system's map.

After performing the upgrade, it was like plugging in a cheat into a video game. Wu Zimo was practically glowing with the force of tens of thousands of lights in pride.

Because Wu Zimo had updated all of the Dimensional Zerg's active areas and compared the positions, he then found that some of the Spider Zergs in their original coordinates had either been cut down or ran to another area, with small groups merging together into larger groups.

After being screened out by Wu Zimo, a new hunting plan was quickly formed. That's right, the groups of Spider Zergs roaming about on Planet XT781 were no longer a threat in Wu Zimo's eyes. Rather, they had become prey.

He shared the newest coordinates he had selected to the teams' channel. Wu Zimo excitedly shouted: "Rush forward, brothers and comrades! A glorious future is ahead of us! Our goal is the galaxy!"

It was clearly a moving moment, but when everyone on the teams heard Wu Zimo's impassioned speech, they felt for a split second that they didn't have any passion at all...

"Cough cough, we're leaving." Mocca coughed into the communal channel, restraining his desire to roll his eyes at Wu Zimo. He spoke, pretending that he hadn't heard anything.

The other sentinels' expressions were similar to Mocca's. Only the few other guides saw the hot-blooded Wu Zimo and muffled their laughter with their sleeves.

Having worked together for the last few days, everyone on the combined teams knew that Wu Zimo, this child, was extremely strong. However, from time to time, he would have spontaneous moments. However, considering Wu Zimo's age, his manner was especially interesting.

As for what Lyle, the person closest to Wu Zimo, felt: It's very good that A' Mo is able to become this lively.

The First Military Academy of the Interstellar Federation's yearly assessment only lasted for a week.

On the first day, many teams who believed themselves to be infallible and liked to court death were eliminated. On the following second, third, and fourth days, unless their luck was very good and they didn't run into any large groups of Spider Zergs, there were also assessment teams of average strength that were eliminated. Even teams that formed alliances weren't an exception.

Who told them that they had to worry about the other team fighting dirty during a battle, even though they were working together? Rather than cooperating with such a team, it would be better and more efficient to work alone.

On the start of the fifth day, the remaining teams were good examples of teams that were powerful and knew how to work together. Or, they were just large teams made up of a minimum of five smaller cooperating teams.

The great waves swept away sand, leaving behind those who were powerful and whose IQs were online. This was the purpose of Scott's alteration to the yearly assessment. The spirits of the assessment teams that were still standing after a week would have definitely changed a lot.

It was the seventh day, and there was half a day left until the end of the First Military Academy of the Interstellar Federation's yearly assessment. Wu Zimo and his party were resting downwind from a cliff.

"Lyle, how many Spider Zergs have we eliminated?"

The person who was searching for targets was Wu Zimo. However, he really needed to know how many Spider Zergs they had killed, since he had embarrassingly forgotten.

Lyle, who had just been asked a question by Wu Zimo, didn't say anything but directly showed him the number, "At the beginning, our team eliminated fourteen Spider Zergs, and after we joined Mocca's teams, we eliminated three hundred and twenty-one Spider Zergs."

When the cooperating teams heard this number, they all had disbelieving expressions.

"We really killed that many Spider Zergs these past few days?"

They had indeed felt like they had been fighting non-stop in the past days, but they hadn't thought that they'd managed to kill more than three hundred Spider Zergs in such a short amount of time.

Don't think that three hundred appeared to be a small number. One would only need to see that Wu Zimo's team had spent most of a day hulling fourteen Spider Zergs to know that their efficiency had really increased over the past five days.

At this time, Li Pengpeng, who was sitting beside Mocca, said: "Before we were working together with you, our three teams killed forty-three Spider Zergs."

For this year's assessment, the number was calculated by team, then evenly divided between the team members.

For instance, Wu Zimo's team had killed fourteen Spider Zergs on their own in the beginning. Those fourteen Spider Zergs would be divided between the nine members of Wu Zimo's team. Thus, the average number of points for each person was 1.5.

The three hundred they had amassed after joining with Mocca's three teams were divided between four teams, or thirty-four people. Diving more than three hundred points between thirty-four people would give everyone about 9.5 points.

Calculating it in this way, Wu Zimo and his teammates had about 11 points for yearly assessment, and Mocca and his teammates had a little more than 11 points.

Five Spiders Zergs was the acceptable number. Wu Zimo and his team's achievements were already very good. However, both Wu Zimo and Mocca weren't satisfied with such a result.

"Mocca, should we go for another round?"
