The heavy burden on Lü Yongchang's heart suddenly lifted.
As long as it wasn't the Gardener Faction Civilization.
But a moment later, a new question surfaced in his mind.
If it wasn't the Gardener Faction Civilization, then where had that seemingly highly advanced Spherical Flying Object outside the Gliese 555 Stellar System come from?
Staring at the Holographic Projection, Lü Yongchang suddenly realized something.
"Only one?"
Lü Yongchang glanced at Fang Xu in surprise. "There aren't any other similar flying objects?"
Fang Xu shook his head, looking somewhat puzzled. "So far, the Antimatter Collection Device has detected only one Unidentified Flying Object."
Lü Yongchang's expression shifted slightly.
Venturing into an unfamiliar stellar system all alone like this...
"A probe?!" Lü Yongchang and Fang Xu exclaimed in unison.
Seeing that the other had voiced exactly what he was thinking, both men smiled in mutual understanding.
"As long as it's just a probe." Lü Yongchang sighed in relief, his expression relaxing. "That gave me a scare. I thought the Gardener Faction had already tracked us down!"
Fang Xu also looked deeply relieved. "Yeah. I wonder what level of civilization it belongs to, taking an interest in such a barren stellar system."
"I doubt it's a particularly advanced civilization."
Lü Yongchang chuckled and nodded in agreement, then casually asked, "Zero, how did it appear? Which direction did it come from?"
"Pull up the recording for me."
As soon as he finished speaking, the display responded.
The image in the Holographic Projection rapidly changed.
A familiar scene appeared before him.
Darkness and deathly silence, with only distant pinpricks of starlight offering a little reassurance.
Suddenly, something changed in the tranquil, lifeless scene.
Without any warning, a dark gray spherical craft abruptly appeared in the image.
Lü Yongchang's heart lurched at the sight.
