“They didn’t expect to be met with resistance,” Nana whispered.

A hint of human mockery flickered in her eyes.

She remotely communicated with her main body and, with the help of the warship's system, blocked the signal in this area.

The good thing is, the ball is now out of the net.

The downside is that it becomes impossible to continue tracking the target's StarNet interface coordinates afterward.

But they'll search thoroughly anyway, and if they get too tired, they can ask Xia Moli to use her mental power to sweep through the area.

Blocking signals is more beneficial than harmful.

"The lockdown is complete," Nana said.

"Understood." Ai Cao smiled and raised her gun.

The weaponry on the warship was on a completely different level from what these guards carried. Moreover, even without a single gun, Ai Cao could tear them all apart with her bare fists.

The gun in her hand quietly gathered power.

The instant she pulled the trigger, the energy beam pierced through the metal armor in front of her and then exploded inside the man's body.

Scattered blood and bits of flesh flowed from the gaps in her armor to her feet.

Ai Cao licked her lips.

Nana grabbed the hand extended in front of her. The man's face contorted—with a gentle twist, she braided his wrist. She then flung him against another man.

The two men flew out together.

Ai Cao kicked the man who was rushing towards her. Then, as he fell to the ground screaming in pain, she shot him in the head.

After a brief period of chaos, things settled down.

Nana looked around: "No living humans were detected."

Ai Cao grinned and brandished the muzzle of her gun: "Would five hundred men be enough for a while?"

The current star cluster leader quickly provided an answer.
