"You fucking cop." Hade squinted his eyes, looking at the old man.
In the previous transactions, Hade had already trusted this old man, but he didn't expect that the old man was actually bait.
"You are all under arrest." The old man said nothing and turned to leave, as a soldier spoke.
"Kill them all!" Hade and the others drew their small firearms from their waists, aiming at the soldiers.
"Everyone relax." Ziyu stepped out from Hade's side, casually walking towards the army.
"Don't go over there!"
"Don't come here!"
The soldiers and Hade spoke almost simultaneously.
Ziyu nodded at Hade, giving him a reassuring look, and Hade could only observe the situation.
"I mean, we are all just trying to survive. In this technological age, it's not easy for any of us... why make things difficult for each other?" Ziyu approached the soldier at the front and reached out to pat his shoulder.
"Impudence." The soldier, wary of Ziyu's actions, became tense when he saw Ziyu extend his hand. He shouted "impudence" and quickly grabbed Ziyu's wrist.
The soldier was scared too; if Ziyu had something in his hand, he could be in serious trouble.
"Hey... why are you so nervous..." Ziyu couldn't move at all but still spoke in a relaxed tone.
"Ziyu, you..." Hade was anxious but couldn't do anything.
"Everyone stay still, or I'll kill this guy!" With a hostage in hand, the soldier gained confidence.
The Interstellar Wanderers were different from terrorists; if a companion was captured among terrorists, they probably wouldn't care. However, the Interstellar Wanderers were a more united organization. Even if Ziyu was new, they wouldn't easily let him go.
"Don't move, or I'll kill him," Ziyu said with a smile.
Even though he was being held captive, there was not a trace of tension on him.
And among the crowd, Zero also showed no signs of anxiety because Zero knew that once Ziyu exploded with power, these soldiers would be easily defeated.
But Hade didn't know that. Hade didn't realize that in this situation, Ziyu, who appeared to be unarmed, could be terrifying.
"Hahaha..." The soldiers laughed as if mocking him.
"You’re not afraid, are you..." Ziyu's lips curled slightly upward.
With an unexpected surge of strength, the captured Ziyu broke free from the soldier's grip and turned to face the entire soldier squad. The Battle Armor seeped through his clothes and appeared on his body...
In less than a second, Ziyu transformed from unarmed to fully equipped.
"Kill them; leave one alive!" The squad leader said, startled by the sudden turn of events.
Without hesitation, Ziyu dashed forward, snatching a weapon from the nearest soldier and striking another soldier in the head with the gun butt, knocking him out!
Ziyu took a step back as the internal Intelligence of the Battle Armor calculated ballistic data. Guided by the calculations, Ziyu quickly fired.
The gunshots rang out, and all the soldiers within sight had already fallen.
"What a powerful feeling," Hade licked his lips, feeling quite excited.
This Ziyu, with his identity as a New Human Leader, was indeed extraordinarily strong.
"Alright, let's leave quickly. I've detected that one of them just sent out a Signal," Ziyu discarded the weapon, disengaged from the Battle Armor, and turned to speak to everyone.
"Alright, let's quickly go to another place and find a safe spot." Hade made a retreat gesture, and everyone hurriedly withdrew back to the outside.
"I'm sorry, Ziyu, that you encountered such dangerous situations right after arriving." Hade chuckled.
"It's fine, I've played Interstellar War several times already," Ziyu joked back.
Ziyu really didn't mind the situation; after all, she was relying on others.
"I've only experienced one war, and during that time, two planets were destroyed," Hade shook his head. "The scene was spectacular, but many people died."
Ziyu nodded. The most brutal aspect of Interstellar War was the massive loss of life; sometimes, intense Interstellar Wars could annihilate an innocent planet.
"We actually didn't suffer any losses; neither side was reckless, and the damage was still under control," Ziyu said.
In the past wars against the Yufeng Universe Nation in New Human Territory, there indeed hadn't been any significant losses as both sides hadn't reached the final stages yet.
"Let's leave here quickly; someone will be chasing us soon," Hade became serious and led everyone to leave quickly.
Unfortunately, they had arrived via a transport route, and their ship was parked at the location where it had landed on this planet.
"We can't go through the transport route," Ziyu saw Hade about to lead everyone back through the Transport Route and quickly stopped him. "They might know our numbers now. If we take the transport route, they'll know our direction. What's worse is that crossing through the transport route will leave a record, and they will be able to trace our information."
Being chased once or twice wasn't a big deal; what was frightening was being recorded and never being able to come back again.
"Oh... right." Hade had always been cautious in his actions and had never been caught before, so he hadn't fully considered this situation.
Everyone turned around and left the teleportation point, wandering casually on the street.
"Everyone spread out a bit and act like nothing's wrong. Remember, don't use any Intelligence communication; it might be intercepted," Ziyu reminded everyone and then said to Zero, "Zero, hack into the network, clear any surveillance information about us, and obtain the enemy's movement direction."
"Alright, sir." Zero replied and continued walking forward, just like an ordinary robot.
Robots have become very common in this era.
"He seems pretty impressive," a companion said with a laugh from not far away.
"He's Mechanical Life, at least I think that apart from the emperor of their race, no one understands machines better than him," Ziyu said with a proud smile.
Zero was actually created by him... Ziyu watched as Zero grew step by step.
"Alright, it's done," Zero said. "I've also changed the information we registered. The names we registered when we arrived on this planet were not yours."
"This is possible...? That's really impressive..." Hade chuckled, "We used to be very cautious, but I didn't expect such a troublesome issue to be solved directly by Zero."
"Zero has always helped me out before..." Ziyu smiled as well.
"However, sir, someone has noticed us..." Ziyu said. "From my analysis, it seems that this person has an Intelligence similar to mine, and this Intelligence deduced our connection based on our movements."
"Everyone spread out a bit more; someone is watching us." Ziyu cautiously gestured, and everyone immediately dispersed further, disappearing into the crowd.
