Abnormal crossing

Chapter 278 Gu Wei's Combat Mission (Part 1)
Universal Cataclysm.

This is a well-known unexpected incident in the history of the Starsea civilization.

True.

Its impact on the foundations of the Star Sea was far less than the destruction of the Tilanos Empire, and its influence was not comparable to the national mourning event ten thousand years ago.

Even in terms of sheer casualties, it is lower than the War of the Betrayer, the devastating battle between the Kingdom of Bichuli and the Federation of Aurora that affected dozens of star systems.

However, due to the special phenomenon of heterotidal events, it has long been a subject of great discussion and holds a unique position in the history of interstellar civilization.

After all, theoretically, the alien tides had long been isolated at the border of civilization by the Star Alliance's Star Network, so how could they have inexplicably appeared in the Myriad Universe Ruins?

Was it the Wanyu Ruins that sealed and suppressed the alien tide?

Or is there a passageway connected to the back of the building?

To know.

The Universal Kingdom is only a sixth-tier civilization, and it hasn't even crossed the threshold of the seventh tier. How could such national strength be linked to the alien tide?

Other than that.

For a long time, a sense of panic lingered within the Star Sea—if the alien tides had appeared in the civilization sphere for the first time, was it possible that they would appear a second or third time?

Could it even go further and directly cross the borders of the Star Sea to wreak havoc inside?
Fortunately, although many new ruins were discovered in the Star Sea after the Universal Cataclysm, there has never been a second internal surge of alien tides.

With the Star Alliance's targeted reassurance efforts, this panic was gradually suppressed.

Even so, the area where the Universal Cataclysm occurred remained stagnant for a long time without any development—survivors who were not affected by the alien tides were willing to sell their belongings to move away, outside investors were hesitant to invest due to concerns about risks, and various commercial shipping routes were decisively changed.
Apart from a few speculators willing to take risks to make money by reselling mineral resources, the area was so desolate for a long time that it was almost like a no-man's land.
Even now, more than 200,000 years later, the land resources around the Wanyu Ruins are still priced far below market value.

"In short, that's about it for the overview of the Universal Cataclysm," Yuange said, quickly handing the floor to Red Elite Soldier after introducing the relevant information: "After all, the team battle map won't completely replicate the trajectory of the Universal Cataclysm, and too much other information is useless for the competition—Soldier, that's all I have to say."

"Thank you for your hard work, Yuange," after a moment, the steady voice of the Red Elite soldier rang out again: "Yuange has explained the information about the Wanyu Ruins very clearly. I just did a quick check and found that the Wanyu Cataclysm event template does not appear frequently in the game, but it is not completely non-existent. It ranks around 104 million out of the more than 17 million event templates published in Mech Overlord."

"Furthermore, according to the database, there are not many patterns to follow in the maps generated with the Universal Cataclysm as the main element. At present, there are only two pieces of information that can be confirmed."

"First, the opponent's game identity must be an unknown force that ambushed the exploration team. Second, the building that seals the alien tide must be a key resource point, and may even influence the entire battle."

Several voices of agreement quickly came through the communicator.

Gu Wei nodded slightly.

As mentioned before.

These so-called event templates are more about creating a sense of immersion and meeting situational needs. Apart from some key moments, it's difficult to use historical trajectories to locate certain information.

Hmm, this kind of map generation logic would probably be very popular with a certain game developer who uses the Ming Dynasty as a gimmick but can't actually see the Qing army and even shows a large moon.
“Ah Bing,” the Red Elite Soldier had barely finished speaking when a mature female voice rang out in the channel. It was Yan Hehe, who was known as Sister Yan Yan: “Is the building that seals the alien tide fixed or random?” “Completely random, there’s no pattern to it,” the Red Elite Soldier emphasized the word “completely,” and seemed somewhat helpless: “There are a total of 1,354 buildings of all sizes in the Wanyu Ruins, of which more than 300 are located in the relatively central area. According to past data, the building that seals the alien tide could be any one of the buildings in the central area.”

"Three hundred?" This time, the spokesperson was someone Gu Wei didn't recognize, [Not Easygoing Much]. Judging from the voice, he sounded like a burly man with a thick beard: "Brother Soldier, that's too many, isn't it? We'll be searching for them forever?"

“Yes, it is indeed difficult,” the Red Elite soldier admitted frankly. “So I plan to ignore the building that seals the alien tide for now. There are a total of 29 of us. We will first send out five teams of scouts to scout the location.”

"These five teams are not tasked with combat missions. Their sole purpose is to clear the fog of war and confirm locations. They should collect any clues they encounter and report any NPCs or threatening targets they discover in a timely manner."

"As for the others, let's first loot the area around the hangar—generally there will be one or two good items around the spawn point. After we get them, we can increase Nuomi and Sister Yan's combat power. Nuomi, Sister Yan, what do you think?"

"."

There was a moment of silence in the public chat, then a somewhat hesitant voice rang out: "I agree."

Gu Wei glanced at the channel list.

The user ID flashing green, indicating that someone was speaking, was none other than [Nuomi Tuanzi].

I never expected that the top player of the Unfinished Team would have such an awkward voice.
Gu Wei wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he felt like the voice sounded like that of a primary school student.
Followed by.

Yan Hehe also expressed his opinion: "I second that."

A soft click of the tongue came through Gu Wei's earphones.

Gu Wei blinked upon seeing this: "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, but it's certain that this soldier of yours is a freshman in the command department," the big-eyed guy commented leisurely from inside the mecha's AI center. "Young people are shy, and they're still so polite in this kind of situation where they need to get off to a good start—but he's the founder and commander of the team. No matter how friendly everyone is off the field, when it comes to combat, he's the undisputed leader of the team, and he can just make decisions directly."

"Although this amount of time is not enough to affect the course of the battle, if it is accumulated over time, it may determine the outcome."

"Of course, this is just my opinion. You can take it as a rant. Now, hurry up and get yourself in the right state of mind. It's almost your turn."

Gu Wei was stunned.

My turn?
What does this mean?
However, before Gu Wei could ask a question, he heard the voice of a Red Elite soldier coming from the public channel:

"Since Nuomi and Sister Yan have no objections, I will now assign tasks—the exploration teams will be divided into pairs, each advancing in a straight line along the directions I have marked. The exploration destination is approximately two hundred kilometers from our spawn point."

"in."

"Pigeon, you and [Catch Up Hehehe] are in a group and will be responsible for exploring the direction of Line 1."
