"Boom—whoosh whoosh whoosh—!!"

A fierce blaze erupted before Yan Huan.

Even Kafka and Silver Wolf, both Stellaron Hunters, wore grave expressions.

The two of them went all out, unleashing all manner of dazzling attacks upon the monsters.

For a time, the incomprehensible roars of Voidrangers filled every inch of the Containment Section, inside and out.

This was really exciting, Yan Huan thought.

At the moment, he was the most relaxed one there. He lounged in the rear and had somehow even produced a tub of popcorn, calmly munching away.

As he ate, he could not help but wonder.

"Why are there so many monsters? I don't remember there being this many when I played the game."

Yan Huan could not make sense of it no matter how hard he thought.

He had not played for very long before transmigrating here, but he still remembered the beginner storyline.

He certainly did not remember facing an army of millions right from the start.

Could it be because of the Stellaron?

"No way."

He remembered that Kafka had spent quite a while stuffing the Stellaron into him earlier.

It was only after she put it in that his system awakened.

Maybe it really did have something to do with the Stellaron.

After all, he had activated a cheat. It was hardly strange for the Antimatter Legion to call in more troops to snuff him out in the cradle.

Kafka and Silver Wolf were the pitiable ones here.

Time was like water in a toilet.

Press the button,

and it came fast and went fast.

The two beautiful girls fought fiercely for seven hours without stopping once. The entire Containment Section had been battered into ruins.

Out of kindness, Yan Huan picked up several snack wrappers and raised them toward the two fighting desperately ahead.

"Are you thirsty? Want some water? Are you hungry? Want some popcorn? You—"

"Shut up!" Silver Wolf cursed. Her fingers flew over the light screen before her, summoning laser cannons around herself that continuously blasted apart the advancing Voidrangers.

Then she suddenly turned around and looked at Yan Huan. "Wait, where did you get so much food?"

From Silver Wolf's perspective, the snacks beside Yan Huan had already formed a small mountain, while his mouth was still chewing on something.

"Oh, it's from your storage space. You forgot to close it just now, and I happened to be hungry, so I took some out."

Yan Huan casually tore open another pack of chocolate sticks and began eating them on his own.

Silver Wolf said, "Is it yours just because you can eat it? Those are my snacks! Don't eat any more!"

Yan Huan frowned. "I only woke up a little while ago, and I'm starving. Besides eating snacks, what else can I do?"

Silver Wolf said, "Can't you lend a hand? Do you not know we're fighting for your sake?! And you're over there eating snacks?!"

Who exactly was the Stellaron Hunter here?

At that moment, Kafka, who had been weaving through the flank and cutting down enemies, also looked over.

Her voice remained languid, as though the Antimatter Legion posed no great pressure to her.

"Yan Huan, there's an iron rod beside you. Pick it up and lend us a hand."

Following Kafka's reminder, Yan Huan looked toward the metal rod lying in the corner nearby and fell silent for a moment.

Then he replied,

"That won't do. It's too ugly. Fighting with that wouldn't suit my status."

One second after he said that, a pale blue beam shot toward him.

"Boom—!!"

The floor two inches in front of Yan Huan's crotch was scorched black by the laser.

Then Silver Wolf's curse rang out.

"You've really got some nerve. It doesn't suit your status? What, are you some planet's prince?"

Staring at the charred metal floor two inches before his crotch, Yan Huan hurriedly scooted backward. Even his tone became much more meek.

"Haha, look at what you're saying. That's not what I meant." Yan Huan rubbed his hands together with a grin. "What I mean is, I'm too weak to be much help. Even if I went in, I'd just get in the way and affect your output, ladies!"

Though he said that aloud, Yan Huan had already written Silver Wolf's name down in his little notebook.

When one was under another's roof, one had no choice but to bow one's head.

But if he ever got the chance, he would definitely make this woman taste his power.

"Now that's more like it~" Silver Wolf seemed quite satisfied.

The vast scene outside the Containment Section had also entered the sight of everyone on Herta Space Station.

March 7th, who had been preparing to head over and provide support, was stunned as well.

She stared blankly at the black mass of Voidrangers outside as they charged toward the Containment Section one after another.

Those unable to squeeze in at the back simply waited for the Voidrangers in front to die so they could take their place.

"Are they lining up?" March 7th's bell-like voice rang out.

Dan Heng stood nearby and could not help frowning. "It seems there's something in the Containment Section attracting them."

"Wait..."

Within Dan Heng's field of vision, he seemed to have witnessed something unbelievable.

The ones defending the Containment Section were two Stellaron Hunters.

Kafka and Silver Wolf.

How could that be?

Though Dan Heng had experienced much, he was still rather baffled at this moment.

Why were Stellaron Hunters protecting Herta Space Station?

They could easily weave through the Voidrangers. Clearly, they were not trapped without a route of retreat—they were genuinely protecting something.

Just what could make Stellaron Hunters go this far?

"Hey, Dan Heng, what are you looking at?!" March 7th patted Dan Heng on the shoulder, interrupting his thoughts.

Dan Heng took a deep breath and pointed toward the two figures in the direction of the Containment Section.

"That's Stellaron Hunter Kafka and Silver Wolf. They seem to be helping clear out the Voidrangers."

The moment March 7th heard the words Stellaron Hunter, she perked up.

"Ah?"

Stellaron Hunters?

Weren't they a bunch who loved causing trouble? Why were they helping out?

"It really is them?!" March 7th stared at the two figures in surprise. "Could it be that they're actually good people?"

Dan Heng shook his head and said earnestly,

"Perhaps we'll be on the same side someday, but right now... it's hard to say."

Perhaps because the battle in the Containment Section was too intense,

some Voidrangers from the other sections saw it and followed the main force, joining the long line headed for the Containment Section.

A miraculous sight appeared.

The lines stretched on and on, extending from every entrance of the Containment Section all the way into outer space.

Taken together, that vast black mass of Voidrangers was even no smaller in volume than Herta Space Station itself.

In the corridor, March 7th mischievously asked Dan Heng for his opinion.

"Um, should we go help the Stellaron Hunters now? It looks like the fighting over there is the fiercest on the whole Herta Space Station."

After considering it for a moment, Dan Heng shook his head.

"No. There may be many Voidrangers, but they're Stellaron Hunters. They can handle it."

Gripping his spear tightly, Dan Heng slowly walked in the opposite direction.

"What matters most now is rescuing more researchers. They're ordinary people, and we must get to them quickly."

March 7th nodded blankly.

"Oh, okay."

With light steps, she followed Dan Heng.

Though they did not know whom Kafka and Silver Wolf were protecting, at least they no longer had to worry about the Containment Section.

Far away in the Containment Section, Silver Wolf was also constantly monitoring her surroundings.

March 7th and Dan Heng's figures did not escape her notice either.

"Ah, those people from the Star Rail Express just left." Silver Wolf was somewhat displeased.

As long as they came over, she could toss Yan Huan to them, and she and Kafka could make their escape.

What was the point of leaving?

At the deepest part of the Containment Section,

Yan Huan sat on the ground, silently counting the time he had spent slacking off while considering his next plan.

After thinking for a while, he seemed to make up his mind.

"Hm? Why did he stand up?"

Under Kafka and Silver Wolf's watchful eyes, Yan Huan stood up for the first time, a trace of determination appearing in his gaze.

Has his conscience finally gotten the better of him? Silver Wolf made a guess.

Then Yan Huan's eyes shone brightly. His voice was low, yet every word struck with resounding force.

"Where's the bathroom? Which of you has toilet paper?"
