The idea, once proposed, immediately convinced the council. No one could guarantee whether the enemy had mastered the technology to reach the solar system. Since they had described the enemy as so strong and cunning, this possibility had to be considered; otherwise, it would be self-contradictory. And what was more important? Of course, the solar system, the goal of the expedition, was more important. It was better to be safe than sorry, and to eliminate the enemy in its infancy.

Not only that, but the solar system also entered a state of combat readiness, though not yet to the point of being open to the public, to avoid unnecessary panic. The other fleets of the solar system had already begun exercises, ostensibly to crack down on interstellar pirates and smuggling.

Markham, Wu Fa, and Pang Pei also accepted this resolution and the reasons for it. They had indeed sensed strangeness on the front lines. At their level, they had a certain war intuition. They could no longer regard the bugs as low-level creatures. They must be brewing something. As long as the solar system could ensure logistical support, that was already pretty good.

Under these circumstances, Markham and his team needed to be even more cautious in their war strategy.

"Our top priority now is to figure out who the enemy is," Wu Fa said. As commanders, they had not had an easy time of it lately. The results of their probing were not ideal. The humans had not gained any advantage, and the number of giant bugs exceeded expectations. In other words, while humans were building bases above, the giant bugs were digging trenches below, hiding all along.

It wasn't just them overthinking things. At their age, Markham, Wu Fa, and Pang Pei had experienced many regional wars and various frictions. They had seen all sorts of things. Even among humans, the truth was only within the range of artillery fire, let alone when facing different races. Any侥幸 (jiao xing - stroke of luck) would bring incalculable disaster.

"Looks like we still have to fight. There's no way around it," Pang Pei said. Sometimes, you can't find a flaw without a head-on collision. The huge fleet might just be hanging out in space for a long time. If that went on for too long, problems would arise in the rear.

Most of the members of the Hunter special operations group had returned to their respective fleets, especially those belonging to combat units. Chao Qinglong and Depuya were in the Fifth Fleet. Although they were reservists, they had participated in several probing attacks. Chao Qinglong had also participated in the sortie of space mobile soldiers, killing many giant bugs. Chao Qinglong himself was quite calm and steady. After directly participating in the war, he had also undergone a transformation. This was e

Everyone didn't know what to say. This was too fragile. Could it be that precognitive ability could scare someone to death?

Li Hao was silent for a while. Actually, he didn't blame the others. Different abilities meant that they couldn't understand without experiencing it, let alone empathize. He was very clear about Zhuang Zhou's current situation. "Zhuang Zhou, don't worry. Don't take the medicine either. It's useless. I also feel what you feel. I'll find a way to get you to the space fortress. Your ability should be very useful in this war. First of all, don't be afraid. Secondly, there's nothing wrong with your mind. Your judgment is also correct. There's something on Kepler that's trying to interfere with you."

Li Hao's words stunned everyone. It felt a bit magical. Zhuang Zhou excitedly clutched his chest. The torment of this period had made him begin to wonder if he was crazy. Hearing this, he felt like he had come back. People need recognition, especially the recognition of people they trust.

"Boss, I'll do whatever you tell me to do. I'm not afraid of it!" Zhuang Zhou said.

"Your power can't attack, but it can defend. Steady your mind. Don't be curious, don't explore, and don't respond. Think about happy things, or things you're interested in. It doesn't matter if you can't sleep. Just treat it as training," Li Hao said. He had to find a way. Zhuang Zhou's sensitivity might be much stronger than his in this regard. From Zhuang Zhou's description, the other party had already begun to infiltrate his dreams. Once his will was broken, who knew what would happen next.

Li Hao felt that this matter couldn't be delayed. Actually, after many members of the Hunter Battle Group returned to various combat units, they were relatively idle, just doing daily training. Li Hao was placed here, receiving high pay and doing very little work. He couldn't participate in core matters, and everyone was quite polite to him, knowing that he was someone valued by the Commander-in-Chief... Was the Commander-in-Chief too busy and forgot about him?
