What Exactly Are They Trying to Do?

The young man surveyed the building before him. "The system bug is probably inside."

As it is the building housing the Combat Command Center, it naturally wouldn't lack security personnel.

Although most of their attention was drawn to the shadows on the moon's surface, the young man's inexplicable lingering at the entrance quickly caught the attention of the guards.

"Sir, please don't stand here. Do you need any help?"

A guard stepped forward to drive the young people away. Thanks to Lu Bai's strict supervision, these armed men did not resort to violence against ordinary people at the slightest provocation, as they usually did, and their tone was barely considered friendly.

The young man, however, seemed completely oblivious to the warning signs; instead, a slight smile played on his lips, "I do need a little help."

Seeing no apparent danger, the guard then spoke up to ask what kind of help he needed.

Unexpectedly, the guard took a step forward and then froze on the spot, staring blankly ahead.

Because his back was turned, the other guard couldn't see anything unusual about his colleague, but he found it a bit strange that he stopped halfway through.

The next second, the young man looked up at the guard still standing at the door and said, "I almost forgot about you. Let you also immerse yourself in the illusions of the Bewitching Sect."

Combat Command Center.

The central screen continues to faithfully display the changes in shadows on the lunar surface.

Researchers are anxiously analyzing this change, but unfortunately, due to a lack of field data, it is difficult to make an accurate judgment on the principles behind the Mona people's technology.

Lu Bai was not an expert in this field, so he was even less likely to have any insights.

Compared to the researchers who were frantically brainstorming, he quietly observed the changes in the shadows.

He was actually quite curious.

Putting aside the technical principles, he could still understand the idea of reversing time by modifying the state of matter in the shadows.

But it is precisely because he can understand it that he is curious.

He had to admit that he couldn't understand what the Mona people were trying to do.

Reversing time sounds impressive, and it is indeed quite absurd, but ultimately, the speed at which this reverses the state of matter is not fast, and it can hardly be considered an offensive method.

Leaving aside how much energy would be required to do such a thing, what difference would it make if time on the moon were reversed?

Unless the moon can be restored to its state billions of years ago in one fell swoop, it will have no impact on humans on Earth.

Not to mention having so much energy, wouldn't it be simpler and more brutal to just exchange it for something like a planet-destroying cannon and fire it at Earth?

The more Lu Bai pondered it, the more curious he became.

He really wanted to figure out what the Mona people were up to.

The old man in military uniform was similar to Lu Bai; he couldn't offer much help with technical matters, so he could only keep a serious expression and put on a solemn face.

Finally, the report coming through his earpiece gave him a sense of purpose.

He immediately stood up and went to Lu Bai's side, asking in a low voice, "Mr. Lü, the Team One of the City Guard... has been assembled. Do you want to go and give them a speech yourself?"

The name of this militia was given by Lu Bai, and its members were mainly composed of personnel from the Second Squadron of the Former City Direct Military.

Yes, apart from all members of the Team One of City Direct Military, the other City Direct Military at the Forward Base were not [reloaded] by Lu Bai, and these fighters still retained their abilities.

On one hand, Lu Bai no longer values the abilities of ordinary deathmatch fighters; they are dispensable to him.

On the other hand, I also felt that leaving their abilities to them would be of some use.

"Forget about the lecture."

Lu Bai waved his hand, as he was more interested in the Mona people's affairs at the moment. "Let Captain Pu Xueli make the arrangements himself. I have only one request: ensure the safety of the people within the Forward Base."

"Understood." The old man in military uniform then pressed the earpiece and began to convey Lu Bai's meaning.

It is worth mentioning that Pu Xueli has not yet fully accepted the fact that Lu Bai has taken over.

He didn't vehemently oppose it only because the changes Lu Bai made after taking office were for the better. He even accepted the position of squadron Captain with some reluctance, as Lu Bai had arranged for him to do so.

Of course, even if he's unwilling, given Pu Xueli's responsible work attitude, there's no need to worry about him messing things up, and Lu Bai doesn't need to spend extra energy paying attention to him.

After relaying Lu Bai's orders, the old man in military uniform sat down again, ready to continue acting as a mascot.

However, before he could even settle in, another report came through his earpiece.

"Reporting to the Combat Command Center, this is the security department..."

The elderly man in military uniform frowned and pressed the call button on his earpiece, "What is it? Explain yourself!"

The voice coming from the other end of the call sounded somewhat chaotic and was spoken very quickly.

However, the elderly man in military uniform was quite good at extracting information.

The key information was quickly extracted from these disjointed words.

"The Third Guard Company has lost contact? Have you checked the surveillance footage?"

The veteran in uniform knew that the Third Guard Company was responsible for the security of the first and second floors of the building where the Combat Command Center was located, as well as the surrounding area.

The loss of contact with these security personnel means that the area downstairs is now undefended.

"The surveillance footage shows they are still at their posts, but no matter how we call them, there is no response..."

Clearly, it was precisely this bizarre situation that left the reporting personnel bewildered and uncertain.

"Send people to contact these individuals who are suspected of being detained immediately. I will contact the militia right away."

Although the strange events occurred downstairs, the old man in military uniform did not consider it a serious matter.

In his view, this situation, which clearly involved supernatural forces, was most likely the work of those so-called Mona Warrior.

With an invincible fighter like Lu Bai in charge, the old man in military uniform had no worries at all.

Of course, even with these thoughts in mind, after informing Pu Xueli, he still didn't forget to report to Lu Bai.

Whether there is a threat or not is one thing; whether there is a willingness to report is another matter entirely.

"Lost contact?"

After listening to the report from the old man in military uniform, Lu Bai raised an eyebrow, then slowly looked down at his feet, as if he could see through the reinforced concrete layer to the ground below.

"You said you guessed it was the Mona Warrior who made the move, right?"

Without looking up, Lu Bai asked with a hint of barely perceptible curiosity, "But I didn't see any deathmatchers downstairs."

With the ability to "load saves," no matter how skillful a fighter's concealment techniques are, it's impossible for them to escape his sight.

Therefore, he now suspects that this is the Mona people's official start.

If it were some kind of high-tech method, it could explain why these guards seemed to be hypnotized.
