"Mind Remote Control" is the ability of "Brain Domain Hackers" to manipulate their opponents like marionettes after controlling their minds.

This skill is incredibly powerful. Many unimaginable espionage incidents in history were actually accomplished by "Brain Domain Hackers" using this very skill.

This ability is somewhat similar to that of "Psychological Spies." However, "Psychological Spies" achieve control over the human mind through psychological suggestion, whereas "Mind Remote Control" is undoubtedly more domineering and direct.

"Mental Tentacles" is an interesting ability that condenses a Brain Domain Hacker's powers and extends them beyond their body.

This ability can be used directly for exploration or sensing. If one's own abilities are blocked by an opponent, this power can forcibly extend to the target. Then, using "Mental Tentacles" as a medium, those abilities can be unleashed.

"Wishful Reality" is a high-level ability impossible to execute below the Sixth Energy Level; even those at the Sixth Energy Level can only manifest simple items this way.

To truly master this ability, one would probably have to reach the Ninth Energy Level.

This ability is just too broken.

After Chen Gu understood the basics of "Brain Domain Hackers," he trembled slightly, preparing to stand up. However, his entire body ached, and he was utterly exhausted. He opened his eyes and looked around; the space was empty, with nothing in sight.

A strong wind blew above him. He lay at the bottom of the pit, sheltered from it, and closed his eyes to rest for a while.

Unexpectedly, he drifted off to sleep—the toll on him this time had been too great. His body's instincts overcame his wariness.

When he woke up, Chen Gu rose to his feet. Everything around him was still quiet. He breathed a sigh of relief and checked his body. His two wounds had already scabbed over. He tried using "Atomic Life" on himself, and his injuries were mostly healed.

While Chen Gu was using "Atomic Life," he also covertly checked his professional status. It was far from its peak, but it was at least an improvement from the previous "exhausted" state, at roughly forty percent of his peak strength.

That he had recovered only this much strength after merely sleeping underscored how perilous his situation had been.

Chen Gu gave a wry smile, climbed out of the large pit, and looked around. The landscape was vast and featureless. From the surrounding rocks, Chen Gu deduced he was still on that planet, but as for his exact location and how far it was from the cave stronghold, he had no idea.

He tried to contact his mechanical eye, but there was no response.

It seems I've run too far and am now beyond the effective connection range.

Chen Gu couldn't help worrying. I wonder how Andrew and the others are doing.

He trudged onward, crossing mountains and ridges, but his pace was slow. Since he had no clear destination, there was no need to hurry and needlessly expend his energy.

Along the way, he kept checking his electronic devices; any response would indicate human activity nearby.

However, after more than ten hours, Chen Gu sank wearily onto a rock. The hard stone made his backside ache. Then he heard a long BEEP from all his electronic devices as their power depleted and they shut off...

「...」

Meanwhile, in the Central Operations Room, Aviloya and Chen Jixian still hadn't left.

Aviloya's attention was on Gong Shuxu, an important figure in the Bureau of Mystic Security. She, along with other military personnel, was advising Chen Jixian to leave first.

But Chen Jixian didn't budge; he insisted on seeing Chen Gu's body, even if it might be a mangled heap of mutant flesh!

Bai Yunpeng and the others respected Chen Gu and didn't drive him away. But soon after, they had no time to pay attention to him, as the battle between the Human fleet and the Insect Race army raged in full swing.

After gaining the upper hand, the fleet immediately dispatched landing forces. Tens of thousands of troops embarked on Close Range Attack Ships to begin rescuing the warriors on the planet.

However, in the following hours, one unexpected development after another occurred, leaving Bai Yunpeng deeply unsettled. What the hell do these disgusting insects want?

The insects suddenly reinforced their numbers!

Three more space blisters arrived, almost making one suspect the Insect Race had already prepared these three, holding them in reserve and ready to reinforce at any moment.

The Human fleet, which had previously held a favorable position, was now locked in a fierce battle.

And on the planet's surface, it was initially thought that with Close Range Attack Ships, the ground battle would proceed very smoothly. Unexpectedly, the Insect Race had hidden a dozen "Skyrocketing Insects," which fought the Close Range Attack Ships to a standstill. Now, both in the Star Sea and on the ground, the two sides were locked in a grueling stalemate.

Bai Yunpeng ordered his staff to immediately assess the situation, and they quickly concluded: The Confederation was likely to be dragged into a prolonged war without any warning.

Not daring to delay, Bai Yunpeng immediately left Aviloya and Chen Jixian to convene a secret military meeting. He began mobilizing troops and preparing supplies. Though it would be difficult, he was determined to win this battle!

More than ten hours later, at a high-level military meeting, Bai Yunpeng was listening to a combat report with another highly respected marshal.

In front of them on the holographic map, the relative strengths of the Human and Insect Race forces were clearly marked. Several routes were also displayed on the map.

"According to the scans from our war satellites, there are at least sixty Troop Nest Beetles in the Insect Nests, and nearby are thirty Skyrocketing Insect cocoons.

"If these Skyrocketing Insects hatch, it will be very disadvantageous for our ground forces. It is estimated that the 120,000 troops we have currently deployed on this planet could be wiped out entirely!"

The situation was not optimistic. But both Bai Yunpeng and the veteran general had witnessed such scenarios many times before. We've turned around plenty of dire situations, haven't we? This disadvantage is just a minor setback.

The combat staff officer continued his report. "The [Gonggong Mechanical Corps] completed the first phase of their operational objectives thirty-seven minutes ago," he stated, pointing to the map. "They thoroughly defeated those insects in the [6-451 region] and opened up Route No. 3 to the Insect Nests."

"The [Roaring Mecha Brigade]," he went on, "has also crushed the swarm attacking them and is currently sweeping away Insect Race stragglers lurking on Route No. 2. They are moving quickly."

"The [Chu Xiang Mixed Brigade] is the fastest, having already advanced nine hundred li on Route No. 1. Our satellites have detected a large number of insect swarms hatching from the Nests. These swarms have just left that valley and are preparing to intercept the [Chu Xiang Mixed Brigade]. As long as they defeat this wave of insects, they will be only seven hundred kilometers from the Insect Nests."

On the holographic map, three red lines pointed straight to the Insect Nests. These were the Human army's routes of attack.

In the established battle plan, the [Gonggong Mechanical Corps] was designated as the main assault force, possessing the greatest strength. Yet, unexpectedly, the [Chu Xiang Mixed Brigade] had made the most rapid progress.
