"h.o.m.o Evolutis… they’re not trained soldier and yet they aren’t civilians. Ren Tao, you yourself are a h.o.m.o Evolutis; haven’t you noticed this problem? Hopefully Yao Yuan will be able to come up with a solution soon. If not, things might not end so easily next time. Don’t be so surprised; I know him better than you do. If the situation requires it, he will not hesitate to revamp the troopers. And trust me, the death count won’t be in the single digits then."

Ren Tao opened his mouth but caught himself. He knew that this was not his place to comment. Therefore, he switched the topic. "By the way, your work isn’t finished, is it? Don’t you still need to send someone to hurry Saburo?"

Guang Zhen quickly waved a few soldiers over and sent them to the task.

Like a surging flame, Yao Yuan burned through the battlefield in his red armor.

Yao Yuan had many reservations about this gaudy suit, but the designer, Bo Li, shut him down. "You have to prepare for situations where creator’s particle has been activated. Under those situations, you need something obvious to signify your presence since you’re the commander. Red is the perfect color; they’ll be able to spot you from miles away."

Regardless, the body armor was specially made for Yao Yuan the all-rounder, so its functionality was even better than s.p.a.ce Armor Prototype 1.

Its reinforced sh.e.l.l could withstand for about 3 seconds even when cut with the sawblade, and gaussian bullets would be blocked by an internal electromagnetic s.h.i.+eld generator.

The armor was fitted with 3 high-power batteries and not the 2 that were given to the normal armors. This was to support the special armor’s capability for greater speed. When Yao Yuan’s all-rounder power was fully activated, the armor could help him increase his speed to about 500 meters per second!

In other words, his body would become as fast as a fired bullet!

Its power was showcased perfectly in that battle. Like a cannon, Yao Yuan stormed through the alien horde, mincing every enemy that stood in his warpath.

Witnessing this, Yao Yuan relaxed slightly. He finally understood what Ren Tao meant when he said that victory was already in the bag.

s.p.a.ce Armor Prototype 1 coupled with the h.o.m.o Evolutis was truly a force to behold. The two supported each other in growth, making the Black Star Troopers a force to be reckoned with!

If one was to tabulate combat capability, unarmed civilians would have power of 10, unarmed h.o.m.o Evolutis power of 20, civilians with guns would have power of 100, and h.o.m.o Evolutis with guns would have power of 500. In other words, the better the weapons he was paired with, the greater the h.o.m.o Evolutis’ combat capability.

When a civilian was paired with s.p.a.ce Armor Prototype 1 and the sawblade, their power would be 1,000. However, when h.o.m.o Evolutis was paired with similar equipment, their power could reach up to 50,000. The difference was so big that you would think they are different species altogether… Wait, different species?

Yao Yuan slowed in his onslaught and observed the situation around him. He himself only just found out how strong the s.p.a.ce armor was, so how is it possible for the new h.o.m.o Evolutis to be so brave and willing to launch themselves into the midst of combat without prior knowledge about the strength of the combat suit?

(Ol’ Wong… No wonder he hesitated before mentioning that one person died "in combat.") The thought flashed across his mind. However, he realized that the troopers were starting to come into their own. There was no shred of fear in their demeanor as they mowed down their enemies. In fact, there was even a sense of bloodl.u.s.t surging through the troopers after they realized that the enemies weren’t as scary as they thought but were actually as fragile as paper.

However… Many started to tire, especially Ying and Ebon, who had been there since the beginning. Their steps had gotten sluggish and their faces were suffused with a faint blush.

"Ying! Ebon! Retreat to the shuttle! This is an order!"

A voice spoke in their ears. The startled pair looked around them to search for the source, then they saw a red shadow skipping around a 6-meter-tall alien. The alien then broke into pieces. The shadow materialized into Yao Yuan, who looked straight at them.

"I’m communicating with you through my Anima power. Retreat to the shuttle! Don’t make me repeat myself!"

Ying and Ebon stopped short in their tracks and stepped towards the shuttle. Yao Yuan’s voice then sounded in every trooper’s ears.

"This is Yao Yuan! Take down the giant alien that’s creating the electromagnetic s.h.i.+eld!"
