From the Abyss Invasion to the Blasting Star.

Apart from the Great Xia, no other country obtained crucial information in advance for this Abyss Battle.

Even within the Great Xia Dynasty, only those within the war zone knew the accurate conscription information.

The reason for keeping information confidential is very simple.

Once the information is released, the Shadow Demon Clan will definitely know about it in advance and have time to lay an ambush.

In Survival Mode, if ambushed, there's no point in struggling; most recruits can only lie there and wait to die.

Therefore, the recruits who were teleported to this asteroid heard a broadcast asking them to gather and discuss the matter, and various teams sent people to converge on the meeting point one after another.

Representatives from most of the teams, including Lu Heng, gathered around and announced in a volume loud enough for everyone to hear:
"I don't like to talk nonsense. The [Survival Mode] already represents the level of danger in this Abyss Battlefield."

"Therefore, I will directly announce the best strategy. Whether you want to listen or not is up to you."

"First, due to environmental factors, on average, one-third of the recruited superhumans are capable of surviving in an oxygen-free environment."

"Therefore, teams without oxygen supply personnel should try to form alliances with teams they know to find a way to survive in space."

"Second, stay away from Nebula City and do not get close. There are demigod-level demon kings in the Shadow Demon Clan, and there is more than one. There may even be beings that surpass demigods."

"Third, do not attempt a challenging task unless you are absolutely certain of success."

"Even if you destroy a satellite city fortress, complete the challenge, and escape, it won't matter. This is Shadow Demon territory, and they will find you."

"Fourth, if you want to launch a counterattack against the Shadow Demon, wait until the last three days of the Abyss Battlefield, when there will be a broadcast to notify you to gather and participate in the final battle."

"Until then, do not attempt any attacks on the Shadow Fiend."

Fifth, regarding the scale of this recruitment for the Abyss Battlefield, I suspect it will be a battle involving thousands of people.

"Yes, you heard right, it could very well be a battle of a thousand people."

"All three hundred people here are from the Asia-Pacific region; there are not a single recruit from other continents."

"There is only one possibility: elsewhere, there are other recruiters, no smaller in scale than those here."

"Sixth, although there are no traitor-related missions in the challenge missions, the existence of traitors cannot be ruled out."

"Therefore, I suggest we split into small teams, maintain communication with each other, and minimize the threat of traitors..."

Before Lu Heng could finish speaking, a superhuman with a typical Sindhu appearance stepped forward and questioned him:

"You know so much information, did you receive intelligence in advance?"

Lu Heng's face darkened, and he did not respond to his question.

The population of the Kingdom of Sindhu has surpassed that of the Great Xia, making it the most populous country on Earth.

However, the situation may be different within Sindhu, where lower castes are mostly considered livestock, while only higher castes are considered human beings.

Because of its large population, the number of superhumans from the Kingdom of Sindhu who were recruited was relatively large.

The superhumans in India have banded together and formed a relatively strong force.

This ability user named Salman Babu stood up to question the decision, and other ability users from India followed suit, seemingly poised to force the issue.

Salman Babu continued to question, "You obtained the intelligence in advance but didn't disclose it, was it to gain a monopoly?"

Lu Heng's gaze turned cold, and he said directly, "Those who don't want to hear it can leave. Those who share their thoughts, stand over there. I don't want to repeat myself."

Of all the superhumans in the entire Asia-Pacific region, only those from India are not quite clear-headed.

The other teams quickly distanced themselves from the Sindhu Kingdom's superhumans, fearing their minds would be corrupted by them.

One of the captains from the Northern Alliance shouted, "You bunch of pigs! If you don't want to listen, get out of here. You're wasting our time. If you say another word, I'll slap your noses!"

The superhumans from the Northern Alliance were truly daring to take action, and Salman Babu was somewhat afraid, so he involuntarily took a step back.

Lu Heng then finished recounting the remaining information, concluding with:
"All the information I know has been released. I have a map of the Shadow Demon world here. Take it if you need it."

"Finally, I wish you all good luck and hope you survive until the end of the Abyss Battlefield. Remember, this is survival mode."

After speaking, Lu Heng led the team composed of the four major war zones of the Great Xia Dynasty and walked away.

On the ground was a stack of Shadow Demon world maps printed on A4 paper.

The recruiters present immediately stepped forward to take the map, glanced at it briefly, and then put it away.

The number of people gathered from the four major war zones of the Great Xia Dynasty was quite large. With the addition of Lu Heng's team of four, the total number of people in the team had reached twenty-two.

In addition, there were five other superhumans who received the summons and assembled at the Dragon Might Base.

These five individuals with superpowers have been vetted in the war zone; their identities and backgrounds are all verified and they can be trusted.

Therefore, Lu Heng led a team of twenty-seven people.

In addition, there was a five-person team that saw the summons' assembly order but did not arrive at Longwei.

Lu Heng hadn't gone far when the group caught up and asked, "Can we travel together?"

The Southern Theater Command obtained information about this team before the teleportation. Their background is quite complex, with two of them being foreign superhumans and one being of mixed race.

Besides this team, another team from Lion City followed suit, asking the same question and hoping to join the Great Xia team.

It's perfectly normal to have this kind of thought.

Anyone with eyes can see that the Great Xia team is basically composed of members from the disciplined forces, and their posture alone is different from that of other superhumans.

Traveling with this kind of group is the safest option.

However, Lu Heng did not intend to bring a team with complicated backgrounds, and replied directly: "Those who accept mental torture can act together, while those who disagree are not available for the time being, but we can keep in touch and exchange information."

As expected, the teams that proposed to act together all refused after hearing the requirement to undergo mental torture.

Everyone has secrets. To be subjected to mental interrogation means to reveal all your secrets to others.

It's not a life-or-death situation yet, and no one will agree to such a request.

……

The 27-person team from Daxia left and entered the asteroid belt, retreating towards the outer perimeter of the satellite city of Nebula City according to the map.

Subsequently, teams from other countries also left one after another.

These recruits eventually formed temporary teams based on nationality and worked together.

In a different world, unless the person is someone you know well, nationality and race naturally create an extra layer of trust.

After Lu Heng's reminder, no team ventured into the satellite city of Nebula City. Although they left in different directions, they generally headed towards the outer perimeter of the Shadow Demon satellite city's defenses. Three hours later, the Great Xia team was the first to leave the Shadow Demon satellite city's defenses, completing the second main quest.

After leaving the Shadowfiend satellite city's defensive perimeter, it's time to get down to business.

Lu Heng found an asteroid to land on and instructed, "Confirm the surrounding situation. Xie Shi'en, open your spiritual field to create an oxygen-rich environment. Let's discuss our next steps."

Soldiers in the team who were capable of generating oxygen released their energy sources to create an oxygen-rich environment through various means.

The rest of the people minimized their activity to reduce their oxygen needs.

Xie Shi'en opened a mental force field with a diameter of 20 meters, locking oxygen within the field.

Lu Heng sat down, took out a two-meter-long and two-meter-wide color map, spread it out on the ground, and began to consider the next step.

"This time we only have thirty days, which is a bit tight. If we had sixty days or more, we could have done more things."

Jian Qing chimed in, "If it were a sixty-day survival mode, I don't know how many people would die."

In the Abyss Battlefield, longer isn't necessarily better, and in Survival Mode, shorter is always better.

Su Muyu and the other perceivers used their perception skills to survey the surrounding area and reported, "It's confirmed that there is no threat within a ten-kilometer radius."

"it is good."

Lu Heng nodded, looked up at everyone, and said, "Before the teleportation, Staff Officer Qi should have mentioned the operation plan to you, but he probably didn't go into details. Because our target this time is a bit too big."

A soldier from the Southern Theater Command asked in surprise, "How big is it?"

Lu Heng drew a circle on the map with his finger and said, "Destroy this world."

Upon hearing this, everyone present gasped, and the oxygen concentration in the surrounding area instantly dropped by several percentage points.

Lu Heng continued, "I know that when you hear this, you probably don't understand how to achieve this goal."

"It's alright. We're all from the military. Just remember one thing: carry out the tasks assigned by your superiors well. As long as no one messes up, the goal will definitely be achieved."

"Yes!"

All the soldiers responded in unison.

Lu Heng began assigning tasks: "First, our first task is to find all asteroids within a thousand kilometers of Nebula City that can accommodate large weapons. The specific requirements are here."

As Lu Heng spoke, Jian Qing began distributing the list.

The list specifies the required mass and volume of the asteroid.

"Once we find a suitable asteroid, mark it and bring the information back. Let's set off now. Proceed according to the pre-arranged teams and split up." After assigning tasks to each team, Lu Heng sent them off to carry out their missions.

Of the twenty-seven people, apart from Lu Heng's team of four and Jian Qing, the remaining twenty-two were divided into four teams and went their separate ways to search for suitable asteroids.

The asteroid belt in the Shadowlands is estimated to contain over a million asteroids, making it impossible to mark every single one on a map.

Moreover, asteroids can move; even if their location is marked on a map, it may not be in the same spot after a while.

Therefore, it is necessary to arrange teams to search for suitable asteroids separately.

After all four teams had left, Jian Qing asked, "What about me?"

She wanted to leave with Liu Haiyang and the others, but Lu Heng kept her behind.

"We have other things to do."

As Lu Heng spoke, he looked at Su Muyu and asked, "Are you ready for the sharing of source energy?"

Su Muyu nodded and replied, "It's all ready. I haven't used any of it; I've saved it all."

"it is good."

Lu Heng nodded slightly and continued, "Our target this time is quite large, so our current manpower is definitely not enough. Therefore, before the teleportation, we joined forces with other civilizations that have joined the Swordholders. Now I need to bring them over."

As Lu Heng spoke, he opened a stargate, which connected to the space beacon of the Sykes civilization.

Races like elves and dark iron dwarves can basically form a fighting force immediately once they are teleported over.

The only exception is Xavier Matrix; he needs time to deploy his array of technological weapons.

Therefore, the first stargate that Lu Heng opened was for the Sykes civilization.

As soon as the stargate opened, nanobots began to pass through it and gather on the asteroid's surface.

These nanobots were so small that they looked like a pile of sand, but they quickly swelled up and began to coalesce and change shape.

Soon, a holographic image of Xavier Matrix appeared above the nanobots.

"Is this the world of the Shadow Demon?"

Lu Heng nodded and replied, "Yes, we are short on time. The star gate can only be maintained for ten minutes, and the maximum teleportation quality is one ton."

Xavier Matrix replied, "I already know that. Sending the nanobots over first is the result of rigorous calculations."

Lu Heng then asked, "How many star gates need to be opened to complete the initial construction?"

Xavier Matrix: "The more the better, of course. However, I know it's impossible to teleport that many times, so fifteen stargates will be needed initially."

Lu Heng let out a breath upon hearing "fifteen times," but said nothing, nodding in agreement: "Okay, I'll try my best to arrange fifteen Star Gates. You may begin."

Fifteen stargates mean that fifteen tons of matter can be transported over.

In other civilizations, fifteen tons of material wouldn't change anything; even a nuclear bomb would require a device to detonate it.

Ten minutes later, the second stargate was completed.

A massive number of nanobots, each weighing a ton, gathered on the asteroid, began to change shape, and assembled into various analytical instruments to begin analyzing the asteroid's soil.

While analyzing the asteroid's soil composition, Xavier Matrix said, "The soil on this asteroid is no good; the metal content is too low. I need an asteroid with a higher metal content, and I need an asteroid with a large enough mass to build the first mechanical factory."

Lu Heng nodded in agreement: "Okay, I'll arrange for someone to help you find it."

Xavier Matrix waved his hand and said, "No need, by the time you find it, there won't be enough time. I'll assemble one for you later. You can have someone take the instruments to conduct tests on an asteroid with a diameter of more than ten kilometers, and I will receive the soil analysis report."

Lu Heng nodded again: "Okay, Mu Yu, share your source energy with me, and I'll open the second star gate."

“Okay.” Su Muyu nodded in agreement and used the Source Energy Sharing skill to place her palm on Lu Heng’s back.

Lu Heng used Su Muyu's source energy to open the second star gate.

Xavier Matrix then sent over a second batch of nanobots, which began assembling into various instruments in preparation for building the mechanical factory. (End of Chapter)
