The piercing alarm sounded aboard the reconnaissance ship five hundred kilometers away.
Mu Fan, who had been focused on watching below, suddenly looked up. "What happened?"
"The Temporary Base is under attack!" Black's furious voice came through. The Temporary Base was an important stronghold he had painstakingly built, and now it had been ambushed?
"Do we have footage of the attackers?" Though he sensed that something was off, Mu Fan remained exceptionally calm.
In his combat career, unexpected situations were practically as commonplace as eating.
Amid a crackle of static, a signal line on the light screen flickered for several seconds before finally producing an image, though it was extremely blurry.
Planet 131 lacked even basic signal relay stations. With Zerg units like Corruptors capable of attacking outer space, it was even less likely to have low-orbit satellites.
