Chen Xu’s exoskeleton mechanical arm had not been removed; now, besides sleeping, he even wore it while eating. Over time, he had become accustomed to it and no longer found it inconvenient.

Amidst continuous alerts, the two of them headed towards the control center.

At the corner, they ran into 2003, who anxiously reported, “Chen Xu, Sister Xia, it’s not good, this is an alien beast invasion alert.”

Chen Xu and Jinxia exchanged glances, both seeing the seriousness in each other’s eyes.

If it were just one or two alien beasts, S01 wouldn’t have triggered an alert.

Could it be a large-scale alien beast attack?

Suddenly, Chen Xu remembered the group of alien beasts he had encountered on his last trip to the C332 refuge shelter. His heart tightened—could it really be a coincidence?

That group of alien beasts had at least over a hundred, possibly even several hundred. If it were them, they could only pray that the refuge shelter’s doors were strong enough to withstand them.

He said, “Let’s first ask S01 what exactly is happening.”

They turned a corner and saw S01 standing at the entrance of the control center.

Chen Xu glanced at the firmly closed door behind it and asked, “What happened?”

“An alien beast invasion.”

S01’s voice was heavier than usual, “The early warning radar just issued an alert that a group of alien beasts are approaching the direction of the refuge, numbering over five hundred. I would like to request your help in resisting their attack.”

Chen Xu, hearing the number was more than expected, appeared visibly disturbed and asked again, “What species?”

“Acid Ant Beast.”

Chen Xu looked at Yang Jinxia, who was more familiar with alien beast data.

Yang Jinxia’s face subtly changed as she gravely said, “The Acid Ant Beast is a type of crustacean alien beast with an A-level danger rating. Its bodily fluids are extremely corrosive; if there are enough of them, they can melt through the doors of the refuge.”

“This is troublesome.”

Chen Xu drew in a cold breath, the world’s classification of alien beasts was based on their threats to the refuge shelters.

Some types of alien beasts, like the Green-Skinned Gorilla, were individually strong but couldn’t break the metal doors of the refuge shelters. Their danger rating wasn’t high, just C-level.

So far, less than ten kinds of A-level danger-rated alien beasts had been discovered. And now, they had encountered one of them.

Chen Xu inwardly sighed, realizing that this dream game wasn’t going to let him stay safe in one place until the end of the dream but would introduce various events akin to tests or stages.

It was about time for the first stage to appear.

He knew that evading such matters was impossible; only active countermeasures would do. Quickly thinking, he asked, “Tell me honestly, with the current defense system of the refuge, how strong is our chance of resisting these alien beasts?”

“There is too little data to estimate,” S01 answered after its eyes flickered green for a while.

Chen Xu seized the opportunity to make a request, “I remember you said that there are still some people left in the refuge. With such an enemy at hand, they should also come out and meet now.”

S01 replied, “I’m sorry, I cannot agree to that request.”

“Why?”

“I apologize, it’s classified.”

“Will they fight the alien beasts with us?”

“For certain reasons, they cannot.”

Chen Xu sighed and said, “If that’s the case, then we also can only apologize. We choose to leave.”

S01 responded, “Sir, leaving at this time is not a wise choice. You will be attacked by alien beasts and be in even greater danger.”

Chen Xu shook his head and said, “Ultimately, we are just guests. Where is it justified for guests to fight to the death while the hosts hide at home? I cannot accept this.”

“S01 said, “Sir, you misunderstand. They are the bravest warriors, but due to some reasons, they cannot fight.”

“Then tell us the reason,” Chen Xu firmly insisted.

“I apologize.”

Chen Xu looked regretful, “S01, I am willing to trust you, you wouldn’t harm us. But those people, I do not trust. I hope you understand.”

S01 fell silent, its green light flickering rapidly.

Chen Xu exchanged a glance with Yang Jinxia, sensing an opportunity. The danger of life or death for the refuge surely took priority over that secret.

“I understand.”

Finally, the green light in S01’s eyes was replaced by a deep blue glow, “Please come in with me.”

Saying this, it finally opened the door to the control center and walked in.

Chen Xu gave Yang Jinxia a look and followed in first.

The control center was much larger than G5232’s, with a control console many times larger, surrounded by nearly ten chairs in a circle.

The entire space was in full view, showing no signs of habitation. This meant that their previous guesses were not correct.

At that moment, Yang Jinxia also came in, subtly surveying the surroundings.

S01 directly walked to a corner where there were several freezer-like devices.

The “freezers” had a transparent layer on top. Chen Xu and the group moved closer and saw that each “freezer” contained a person, men and women, mostly in their thirties or forties.

“What is this?” Chen Xu, having a vague guess, still asked.

“These are human cryopreservation devices. The people inside have made significant contributions to the refuge and were critically injured in a fight with the alien beasts, unable to be healed. They could only rely on this equipment to preserve their lives, waiting for a day when medical technology advanced enough to thaw and treat them,” S01 explained.

“I see,” Chen Xu, knowing the truth now, finally breathed easier and understood why it insisted on not telling him. This was a life-saving device; revealing it could potentially provoke malicious intentions.

Yang Jinxia suddenly interjected, “How can you ensure that someone will be here to wake them up?”

S01 said, “The refuge houses many important production devices. Once the war ends, to promptly resume production, the joint military will need these facilities.”

Yang Jinxia nodded and did not continue asking.

Chen Xu was still pondering the matter, relieved that they didn’t have to worry about someone secretly watching them anymore, resolving a significant hidden danger.

The downside was, this invasion by the alien beasts now depended on just the two of them and two robots.

He said gravely, “Next, let’s discuss how to deal with those Acid Ant Beasts.”

PS: I’ve caught a cold in the past couple of days, and my nose is blocked; it’s really uncomfortable.
