"Hmm? These are... two plans?"

"Besides going to the black hole at the center of the galaxy, are these players also planning to go to the central black holes of other galaxies?"

By analyzing the atomic remains of departing players, the hunter learned of two of their plans.

The plan is simple: one group runs towards the center of the Milky Way, and another group runs towards the outside of the Milky Way. They will both run into the supermassive black hole at the center of the galaxy and use the extreme physical properties of the black hole to win the game.

After some thought, the hunter activated the broadcast system, intending to contact all the hunters in the galaxy.

"This is just a notification. Players are preparing to travel to other galaxies. They are going to escape into the black hole at the center of the galaxy and use the infinite spacetime curvature of the black hole to build a chasm that we cannot cross."

"Whether it's a draw or a player's victory, I believe none of you want to see it. So I propose that we temporarily put aside the competition between hunters and prioritize sealing off the entire galaxy to prevent players from leaving."

Hunters also hunt each other in order to recreate the cosmic environment as accurately as possible. Therefore, hunting among hunters is permitted, and additional rewards are given based on the number of hunters killed.

However, if the players win, the hunters who are hunted will not be counted as rewards.

Numerous bizarre spaceships appeared outside the Milky Way through wormholes. They formed a massive fleet, dragging long trails of death, and enveloped the entire Milky Way with a dark domain before the players could even react.

When the players reached the edge of the galaxy, they were already trapped.

Entering the dark zone means abandoning all quantum entangled particles and completely exposing oneself.

The players who have survived in the galaxy now all rely on the "multiple burrows" skill of quantum entangled particles. Being killed by a hunter with a single particle will not kill them unless all of their entangled particles are killed.

However, entering the Dark Domain means actively abandoning all quantum entangled particles and completely exposing their atomic host. Moreover, due to the very low speed of light in the Dark Domain, it would take them millions of years to escape. During this time, if they were discovered by the hunters, they would not even be able to escape.

The players were arguing wildly in the Atomic Network.

"The Dark Domain has sealed off the Milky Way!"

"Cheating! Blatant cheating! These hunters are using faster-than-light technology to travel all over the universe!"

"Is Feng Taylor out of his mind? If hunters possessed faster-than-light technology, the universe wouldn't be a dark forest like it is now!"

Besides the players who sent friendly greetings to Lin Feng, there were also many players who issued warnings to everyone, saying that the hunter's ability to read information from the atomic network was putting a lot of pressure on many players.

"Avoid using the Atomic Network! Even if you do, don't reveal your current location! Some hunters, after successfully capturing players, will use their Atomic hosts to spy on your communications! So, any messages asking about your current location are just hunters trying to trick you into answering! Don't answer! Don't answer! Don't answer!"

"Now the only thing we can use is the black hole at the center of the Milky Way. Everyone hurry over there and escape into the black hole before the hunters block it off!"

"You're lying! It's dangerous there now; hunters have already set traps there! You're the hunter!"

"I am already near the galactic center black hole. I have personally tested it and it is very safe here. There are no hunters nearby."

"Damn it! Don't reveal your location!"

"It's okay, as soon as the hunters come, I'll fall into the black hole immediately, and they won't be able to catch me."

"I think you're the hunter, otherwise why would you dare to reveal your location?"

"Hmph! Believe it or not, I kindly passed on the message to you, even revealing my own location. If you ask me, you're the hunter, trying to stop more players from entering the Silver Heart Black Hole."

Because of suspicion, it's difficult for players to unite. Who knows if a hunter has infiltrated the united group? Besides, in the game's design, hunters are absolutely invincible with their current skills, so uniting wouldn't help.

In atomic networks, a method for selecting the center has been proposed.

"There are more black holes in the Milky Way than just the one at the galactic center. Everyone should look for ordinary black holes on the star map. Once you find one, don't notify others in the atomic network. Enter the black hole immediately."

On the hunters' side, although they were wary of each other, the presence of the players temporarily united them, since none of them would benefit if the players won.

“The players are very obedient and run into the black hole, so we can catch them all in one fell swoop.”

Yes, many of the discussions in the Atomic Network are orchestrated by the hunters themselves, designed to lure players together so they can wipe out a large number of them at once.

Black holes are a good thing in the eyes of hunters. They can also destroy quantum entanglement. As long as a player enters a black hole, it means that other atomic components in the outside world will become ordinary atoms.

Of course, some players did not heed the hunter's guidance. As an iron atom forming the hunter's body, while learning about the hunter's plan, they did not forget to criticize other players in their own minds.

"Mr. Taylor clearly explained the game strategy a long time ago, but a bunch of people still don't know what to do. They're so stupid."

"I am soil, I am dust, I am air. I am both part of the prey and part of the hunter. I will hide to the deepest depths."

"So deep that no one is aware of my existence."

Chapter 342 The biased planner

"This...this isn't appropriate, is it?"

After learning of Lin Feng's latest order, the game manager hesitated and asked.

"What's unsuitable?" Lin Feng raised an eyebrow.

The game manager said seriously, "Doing this is unfair to the players in the game. If the players find out that you have interfered with the game, they will accuse you of being a sore loser."

This space survival game is nearing its end. Most of the players have been slaughtered by the hunters, and the remaining players are mostly those who have gone into hiding.

This led the hunters to believe that all the players had been eliminated, and they began fighting amongst themselves, causing the number of hunters in the game to plummet due to the competition.

In order to simulate reality as closely as possible, the game will definitely not allow the appearance of a player list, so the hunters will not know how many players have survived.

This design is now being used by players to gradually bring them closer to victory in the game.

When the hunter gradually becomes the sole survivor in the infighting and requests to terminate the game, the surviving player becomes the winner because the hunter's actions have proven that he did not discover the hidden player.

As the sole hunter who failed to detect the danger, there was only one possible outcome, so he would be judged to have lost.

Right now, Lin Feng has instructed the game manager to secretly contact the hunters in the game and warn them that there are still players alive in the game.

This extremely biased and biased behavior of the game's management cannot be known to the players. That's why the game's management is so hesitant. If the players knew about this, they would probably all be furious and come over to greet Lin Feng in an even more friendly manner.

Lin Feng replied nonchalantly, "I've already had my share of bad reputations, so what if I have a few more? Did I ask to design this space survival game in the name of pursuing fairness or entertainment?"

Upon hearing this, the game manager was momentarily speechless, while Lin Feng continued to ask questions.

"The original design of this game was to let players feel the terror of those malicious civilizations in the universe to the greatest extent, and to make them aware of what dangers exist in the universe at all times. Now, after only a few rounds, they have already won a game. How can we let them feel the terror and danger to the greatest extent?"

"So you mean players can never win a single game in this game?"

The game manager asked hesitantly, unsure if he had misunderstood. In any case, his understanding of Lin Feng's words was that players couldn't win, because if they did, there would be no terror.

Lin Feng's virtual body shook his head and replied in denial, "No, they can win, but not now. It's too early, it's not appropriate."

The game can be won, but it's impossible to win so early—that's Lin Feng's thought.

The game's design aims to highlight the terror of the malicious civilizations in the Dark Forest, not their stupidity. If players easily defeat the hunter so early, it goes against the game's original intention.

"Go and get it done quickly," Lin Feng said.

The game manager nodded. "Okay, I'll go and inform the hunters right away."

Just as the game manager was about to contact the actors who played the hunters in the game, Lin Feng suddenly called out to him again.

"Wait a minute, there's something else I need to tell you."

"Please speak."

The game manager suspended the communication program.

Lin Feng said, "I want to inform all the Black Forest Hunters who played the roles that I am very disappointed with their performance this time."

“I don’t care where the Council of Ten recruited their elites from. All I know is that they didn’t take the task I gave them seriously. After this game, they either need to go to Davis for training or get out of this mission on their own. My mission doesn’t tolerate anyone.”

Lin Feng had been following the game from beginning to end. Knowing the original plot, he was well aware of the significant gap between the hunter actors and the real space hunters.

However, he never had much confidence that the Hunter impersonator would perfectly recreate the Hunters in the universe, so Lin Feng could barely accept this point.

But according to Lin Feng's initial idea, even if you can't perfectly recreate the Space Hunter, recreating it to a degree of 10% or 20% should be no problem, right?

However, Lin Feng never expected that these hunter actors could not even recreate one percent of the original. The hunters in the game lacked far too many of the qualities that a space hunter should possess, and they also lacked sufficient caution regarding the Dark Forest.

Although they were indeed fighting and competing against each other, they were also much more relaxed than the players, probably because they thought it was just a game.

Furthermore, they unconsciously allowed players to gradually approach victory in the game, which was one of the reasons for Lin Feng's extreme dissatisfaction. Based on Lin Feng's understanding of the Hunters, they would not be so careless; they were the direct force that pushed players closer and closer to victory.

Human arrogance has been grafted onto hunters, and even hunters will be destroyed.

"I will convey your message to them."

After the game manager responded, the communication program was restarted.

Ultimately, the game ended in defeat for the players, who were collectively dejected as always, but still sent their warm greetings to Lin Feng.

Unlike in the past, from the perspective of the game's management, the player's behavior this time was finally the right thing to do, rather than simply being a rude venting of anger.

The hunters were also in low spirits, naturally because Lin Feng was very dissatisfied with their performance.

They were chosen by the Council of Ten because their abilities were recognized. If they were forcibly kicked out of the mission by Lin Feng, it would be a disgrace to the Council of Ten.

Many of the hunters wanted to contact Lin Feng to find out how to better complete the mission.

However, Lin Feng didn't have much free time to deal with them; he had other things to do.

Shortly after the space survival game ended, Lin Feng received a report that an interstellar war was confirmed to be taking place in Aries.

Several years ago, the consortium observed a powerful gamma-ray burst in the direction of Aries.

But what's intriguing is that there were no pulsars or supernova explosions in that area, leading to suspicions that an interstellar war was taking place there.

The unified entity immediately notified the nearest atomic being through quantum entanglement to launch an exploration towards Aries.

Now, this suspicion has been confirmed by the Atom Man who explored Aries, who confirmed that the anomalies in Aries were indeed a large-scale interstellar war, and that it was still ongoing.

Furthermore, through observations and verifications by atomic beings at different distances, it was confirmed that this massive interstellar war had only just begun and lasted for fifty years.

However, there was one thing that Lin Feng was concerned about: the hunters were not reacting at this time.

Logically speaking, shouldn't the hunters in the universe be giving each of the two sides a Black Forest attack at this point?

The anomaly is so obvious, it's practically revealing their location, isn't it?

Chapter 343 A Funeral Song

The Aries War involved two sides: the defenders were the native forces of Aries, whom the unified entity named the 'Aries Civilization', while the attackers came from Taurus and were therefore named the 'Taurus Civilization'.

Both sides are advanced civilizations that have developed light-speed warp drive spaceships. However, it is difficult for Lin Feng and his team to determine exactly how advanced they are, or how much the technology gap between the unified entity and them is.

However, judging from its performance, it is many times weaker than the civilization that was attacked by the wormhole-type Black Forest.

At least, the Unified Body could understand all the events that occurred during the Aries War, unlike the civilization that suffered a wormhole attack, where the battle was presented in such an abstract way.

The unified entity dispatched a large number of sophons to Aries via atomic subsystems hidden in the Milky Way.

In the foreseeable future, these sophons will not exist, but it will all be worthwhile, as the consortium needs to gain a deeper understanding of the true picture of the Milky Way.
