For humanity, burn the stars.

On the gray, frozen wasteland, the cold wind swept across the barren, icy surface, carrying fine sand and gravel.

However, in stark contrast to this desolate scene, a grand bonfire had been lit not far in front of Noah's Ark.

Besides [Painkiller] and [Li Erniu], many other players were attracted by the barbecue when they returned to their spaceship to rest.

At first, the Senjougahara squad wasn't very welcoming to other people. After all, what if there weren't enough people to go around?

However, after quickly realizing the weight of that spirit beast and that his eyes were bigger than his belly, he stopped being stingy.

So they started sharing, making the atmosphere even more lively.

The meat yield of the Shepherd is quite high, and it doesn't have much of an odor, perhaps because it eats very clean food.

Although it was just simple barbecue with the most basic seasonings, the taste was surprisingly good.

The players also made sure to send a gift to Captain Qin Heling and Miss Adela.

Miss Adela, who was treating the wounded, also praised it highly.

However, Captain Qin seemed to be busy with something else.

Because faint screams could occasionally be heard from inside the well-insulated cabin, the players wisely refrained from disturbing them.

However, unbeknownst to the players, pairs of eyes were watching them from afar.

-----------------

Seeing the shepherds they regarded as auspicious symbols being slaughtered and turned into food, the Lovisa scouts all looked at them with hostility.

Of course, they all held back at this moment, not forgetting their mission.

They need to investigate the situation of that group of creatures as thoroughly as possible without being exposed.

This scout group consisted of five psionicists, ensuring that information was brought back efficiently.

The Lovisa and their companions shifted their gaze from the players barbecuing nearby to the spaceship docked by the sea.

Although the once powerful Lovisa civilization has disintegrated and even degenerated to its current state.

However, some basic knowledge and understanding of planets and the universe still circulate in small quantities within the group.

Therefore, they knew that the existence of that spaceship proved that these guys came from outside the planet.

At the same time, this group of Lovesa also discovered cables extending from the spaceship and leading further afield.

They sent out two members to explore what was on the other side, trying to figure out the distribution of this group of strange creatures.

The scouts were quite surprised when the investigations of the two locations were completed.

They hadn't noticed this group of creatures before, and unbeknownst to them, it had grown to a considerable size.

Soon, the scouts sent one member back to inform the elder, while the rest remained in place to observe.

After spending some time returning to the tribal territory, the scouts crawled into the rift and arrived at the huge nest beneath the ground.

It has dense passageways and many open rooms, like an anthill.

The underground is teeming with fluorescent fungi, which also serve as food when provided with some light.

After traversing spaces of all sizes, the Lovisa scout arrived at the very center of the nest, where the elders resided.

The four elders had gathered together and discussed for a long time how to make contact with unknown life forms like humans.

As the scouts returned, they all turned their attention to it.

A deep blue light appeared in the scout's eyes, and he used telepathy to report everything he had seen and heard to the elders without reservation.

At first, the elders also looked very solemn.

After all, extraterrestrial life is already a legendary existence for them.

However, upon hearing the scout's description, the elders all relaxed, their eyes revealing contempt.

The opposing force is extremely small; even if you combine the two groups, there are at most a little over 100 people.

Their Blackrock tribe alone has a much larger population than that, not to mention the other tribes in the surrounding area.

Even more crucially, they didn't have a single, not even one, psionicist!

This is far too weak; it's an utterly lowly species!

Realizing this, the elders of Lovisa communicated with each other with great disdain.

They quickly decided to set off to find those upright creatures and demand an explanation.

-----------------

As night fell, the players' bonfire party was almost over, and everyone was too full to eat anymore.

However, there was still a lot of meat left on the skeleton of the shepherd spirit, so we had to find a way to preserve it.

The event has now moved into the talent show segment.

Since it's all in the game, most players are quite relaxed.

Whether serious or comedic, everyone stepped forward to perform, making it the first celebratory event since the server opened.

Although it was only a temporary decision by the [Senjougahara] squad, the results were very satisfactory to everyone.

Playing games is all about having fun.

But suddenly, the Deep Sea Saltfish propped itself up with its spear and frowned as it looked around.

"I'm saying, do you guys feel uneasy... or pressured...?"

The surrounding players looked at him strangely and asked, puzzled:

"Really? It's so noisy around here, how did you sense it?"

But soon, the responding player's expression changed, as if he had sensed something.

A growing sense of unease was rising among the players around them.

In the [Battlefield] squad, the players who had direct contact with Lovisa all had solemn expressions.

They carefully discerned the sensation, realized something, and spoke up to offer a reminder:

"This feeling... it can't be wrong!"

"It's Lovisa! Their psychic energy can influence the mind!"

Sensing the undisguised, or rather, actively radiating, pressure-filled psionic energy, the players all turned to look in that direction.

On the distant hills, patches of dark shadows emerged against the backdrop of the night.

A large number of Lovisa had arrived around the spaceship.

Among them were thirteen or fourteen white-haired psionicists wielding staffs, each with a restless aura and fierce eyes.

Further behind were densely packed, black-haired ordinary tribal warriors equipped with stone or bone weapons.

Their numbers are difficult to count at the moment, but players estimate that there are definitely dozens.

At the very front of the group, two figures stood upright.

Its blue fur was particularly striking, and its entire body emitted a faint glow as it radiated psychic energy.

The combined energy surge released by the psionicists made the players realize that the newcomers were up to no good.

Seeing this, the players realized the seriousness of the situation and cautiously gripped their weapons, ready to retaliate should the other side make a move.

However, led by the elders, the Lovisas, enveloped in whispers of the mind, all waited quietly.

They stood silently at a distance, not approaching, but waiting for something.

Soon, a sharp and harsh telepathic message struck the player's mind.

"Outcasts on the surface, come out!"
