Global Mutation: Opening with Swallowing a Black Mamba-Chapter 353 - 354: Guarding Empty Treasures! Reinforcing the Frozen Star Cluster!

Chapter 353: Chapter 354: Guarding Empty Treasures! Reinforcing the Frozen Star Cluster!

In the following period, the members of the Star Cluster Alliance began to busy themselves.

Each Star Cluster-level power within the Star Cluster Alliance dispatched a large number of combat units to the Flower Moon Star Cluster.

However, the battlefield in the Nanchen Resource Star System was unlike any other.

Although the Klein People continued to deploy more troops to this place, they surprisingly adopted a defensive stance.

For the sake of prudence, the Klein People uncharacteristically adopted a watertight defensive strategy.

This made everyone in the Star Cluster Alliance understand that whatever the Klein People discovered in the Nanchen Resource Star System was definitely extraordinary!

The more the Klein People fortified their defenses, the more the members of the Star Cluster Alliance wanted to know what they were up to.

The Star Cluster Alliance soon began to infiltrate the Klein’s defense zone in various ways.

Unfortunately, they had already missed the optimal timing.

After the Klein’s highest defense system was in place, even Gu Qijue could not enter to check the situation.

However, neither Gu Qijue nor the members of the Star Cluster Alliance needed to worry.

Although the Klein People had control of the Holy Mark Civilization ruins, they could do nothing with them.

It was as if a primitive man faced with partial differential equations—apart from confusion, there was only confusion, not knowing at all what it was.

Even though the Klein People mastered a lot of advanced technology and were far ahead in some technical fields,

their technology level was far behind that of the Holy Mark Civilization.

This led to their situation of having found a treasure but merely sighing in vain.

And yet, the Star Cluster Alliance thought they were making some big moves in this location.

The Star Cluster Alliance’s combat units almost tirelessly attacked this area.

Gu Qijue didn’t participate in the attack but returned to the Fubei Port Base.

However, he continuously ordered the Infinite Engine to monitor everything related to the Holy Mark Civilization.

If technology from the Holy Mark Civilization appeared anywhere, it would indicate that the Klein had somehow mastered the Holy Mark Civilization’s technology.

Almost a month passed quickly.

The Klein People still didn’t show any technology artifacts from the Holy Mark Civilization.

This suggested that the Klein might not qualify to inherit the legacy of the Holy Mark Civilization.

The Star Cluster Alliance was initially very concerned about matters in the Nanchen Resource Star System.

After a month of observation, people gradually began to relax.

Because the only thing the Klein had done differently was building the highest level of defensive ramparts, with no other changes.

Moreover, the number of Klein People in the Nanchen Resource Star System was also decreasing.

They left a portion of the people to continue defending while the rest had already withdrawn.

This prompted some top members of the Star Cluster Alliance to attempt breaking through the Klein’s defensive system to find out what the Klein were actually doing.

However, unfortunately, breaking through such a level of defensive ramparts was very difficult.

To succeed, an immense cost would need to be paid.

Otherwise, Gu Qijue, who specialized in blitz tactics, would have already taken action.

At the Fubei Port Base, Alviss came to see Gu Qijue again.

"Commander, are we not taking any actions during this period?"

The Black Stone Legion had recently entered the Nanchen Resource Star System battlefield for a small test of their prowess.

Although the Black Stone Legion performed quite well in that operation,

after that, they ceased other operations and resumed stagnant training.

Training is monotonous and painful, as most goals in the world entail a painful process to reach them.

At such times, one could of course opt for ease, or even give up.

But enduring hardship regularly is to increase the chances of survival on the battlefield.

In response to Alviss’s question, Gu Qijue raised a hand, and a holographic map appeared before him.

Then he said to Alviss, "These three bases can all be attacked. Which one do you think we should attack first?"

During this period, Gu Qijue found new targets for the Black Stone Legion.

However, he hadn’t yet decided which target to attack first.

Alviss examined them carefully and quickly understood why Gu Qijue found it difficult to make a choice.

As before, Gu Qijue had selected a tough nut to crack.

These three bases were situated in the three battlefields of the Flower Moon Star Cluster.

Each base was notoriously difficult to deal with, and even the Black Stone Legion might not be able to take them down.

After careful consideration, Alviss did not choose any of the three bases.

Instead, he offered his own plan.

"Commander, how about attacking this place?"

Upon hearing Alviss’s choice, Gu Qijue immediately looked over.

He then discovered that Alviss had chosen a promising location.

The target Alviss selected was not in the Flower Moon Star Cluster but in the Glacial Star System of the Frozen Star Cluster.

The Ice River Battlefield is located within the Glacial Star System, composed of numerous asteroids.

The entire Glacial Star System is icy and dim, with most areas freezing year-round.

The Glacial Star System, while harsh, is rich in resources.

There are numerous Energy Stones within the Glacial Star System.

These Energy Stones are of low quality but are abundant and can be refined into high-purity Energy Stones artificially.

However, extracting resources in the Glacial Star System is not easy.

Most of the time, these Energy Stones are located near the Star Core of asteroids.

This means that to collect these Energy Stones, one needs to crack open the asteroids.

The Frozen Star Cluster Civilization is a Star Cluster-level Civilization that combines superpowers and technology.

Because their people are inherently endowed with supernatural abilities, their technological advancement is relatively slow.

This results in high costs when extracting resources in the Glacial Resource Star System.

It is a necessary consequence, as a group of ordinary people needs to study for two or three decades to become engineers.

These engineers must work together to manufacture planes and other aircraft to reach the skies.

Children of the Frozen Star Cluster can fly using their innate supernatural powers by around age three.

Casual conversations among neighbors often involve warnings like: "Watch out for your kid, or they’ll accidentally fly off."

In such a context, they are naturally reluctant to spend decades studying theoretical knowledge to build aircraft.

Their situation is similar to the Thunder Star Cluster Civilization, but it can only be considered a lower-tier version or basic version of it.

The leadership of the Frozen Star Cluster Civilization never expected, as they were at their wit’s end, that Gu Qijue and the Black Stone Legion would voluntarily offer assistance.

Renowned at present, Gu Qijue and his Black Stone Legion were the first reinforcements when the Frozen Star Cluster sought external aid.

The people of the Frozen Star Cluster welcomed Gu Qijue with open arms.

Gu Qijue and his Black Stone Legion were highly anticipated during these times, and their assistance brought some relief to the people of the Frozen Star Cluster.
