As everyone knew, human space stations were generally located at an altitude of around four hundred kilometers above the surface.
This was not the limit of spaceflight capability, but the optimal balance reached after countless calculations and simulations between cost, efficiency, safety, and controllability.
Beyond that altitude, every additional hundred kilometers of orbital height would double fuel consumption and the difficulty of transporting supplies. It would also leave the protection of Earth's magnetic field and face interference from the Van Allen Radiation Belt.
For this reason, most space stations were built at an altitude of around four hundred kilometers.
Yet this space station had spared no expense or manpower, building itself two thousand kilometers out in space.
That distance was far too precise. It happened to lie beyond the reach of Death's gaze.
If this had not been deliberate, Su Haoming would never believe it, even if beaten to death!
With that thought, he immediately transformed into a streak of light, dispersing into countless currents of air and silently infiltrating the space station.
Meanwhile, chaos reigned inside the station. The remote control room in particular was filled with more than a dozen humans in spacesuits standing before monitoring screens, staring anxiously at the red dots continuously disappearing from the displays.
"Report, sir! Not only New York City—the monsters in Los Angeles have all been eliminated too!"
"Houston as well!"
"And Philadelphia!"
"San Diego..."
Anxious voices came from every direction.
The middle-aged man at the head of the group frowned deeply and punched the metal bulkhead beside him. "Damn it, who the hell did this?"
"According to reports from our colleagues on the ground, there were roughly more than twenty people eliminating the monsters."
"They varied in appearance, age, and ethnicity. Their only common trait was that every one of them
