While repairing, Han Xiao glanced at the galactic battleships above Forest City and said, "We've been fighting for so long. Why haven't those battleships moved yet?"
"Those are the sky barriers of the city, and they are also the strongest weapons. The beasts are still small, so it's not time to use the battleships yet." Niville said.
Han Xiao changed the topic and asked, "I heard that you still have a trump card called the Commander Class armor. It has extraordinary power, far more powerful than the NCO Class armor you're wearing. Why haven't you used it yet?"
"The Commander Class armor was a long time ago. When the mother planet was attacked, the manufacturing technology was lost. Now, there are only four damaged Commander Class armors left in the warehouse. The damage rate is seventy percent, and there's no way to restore the technology."
Niville sighed and said, "Although the Commander Class armor can be used by ordinary people, only Supers can unleash its strongest power. When our mother planet was attacked, we sent out all the Commander Class armors to fight back. They were damaged one after another, and the users died one after another. If not for their sacrifice, less than half of the population would have survived. In the end, we only managed to collect four damaged Commander Class armors, full of battle scars. These four armors were the greatest contributors to protecting our race."
The Commander Class armor was completely different from the Enlistee Class armor and the NCO Class armor. The latter two were standard equipment, but the Commander Class armor was equivalent to top-grade equipment, 'elite' equipment, and Supers equipment. The resources used to produce one Commander Class armor could be used to produce hundreds of Enlistee Class armors.
The loss of the Commander Class armor was equivalent to the loss of a top-grade force. If they had the Commander Class armor technology, they could mass produce top-grade soldiers to deal with dangerous beasts. The threat level of the Catastrophe would be reduced by at least one level.
Boom!
The ground suddenly shook, and two armored soldiers flew out from the side. Niville could see behind Han Xiao. His eyes widened, and he roared, "Get out of the way!"
An Earth Drilling Beast the size of a bull knocked the soldiers aside and headed straight for him. There were many types of Earth Drilling Beasts. This type of Earth Drilling Beast was good at charging, and its defense was very strong. Its black shell was like a steel plate, and it could withstand the focus fire of defensive machine guns.

Han Xiao turned around, and a small golden ball slid out of his sleeves. It instantly expanded and transformed into Garrett's Wrath. Without saying a word, he immediately used Flaming Will and several burst skills, even triggering True Damage.
A dazzling beam of light shot out and pierced through the body of the Armored Beast, leaving a burn mark on its body from its mouth to its anus.
The Armored Beast, which the defense team had to spend more than ten seconds to kill, fell to the ground with a loud bang. It had been killed in one shot! Under the influence of its habitual nature, the corpse slowly slid to the side of Han Xiao's feet and spilled a pool of tissue fluid.
"Don't make a fuss. I'm better at fighting than you guys." Han Xiao put away his weapon and continued to repair it as if it was just a casual thing.
"… I forgot." Niville opened his mouth. He had subconsciously thought of Han Xiao as a logistician with no combat ability. Only then did he remember that Han Xiao was a Super.
Very soon, Han Xiao put down his tools and said, "It's fixed."
The armor was operating normally. Niville immediately stood up and confirmed that there were no malfunctions. He directly picked up the machine gun and returned to the battle group. He scolded his subordinates and ordered them to leave their posts.
Although they were scolded, these soldiers did not feel disgusted at all. Instead, they were happy that they had saved their superior's life.
Niville stopped scolding after a while and focused on dealing with the enemy. He continued to loudly command the troops.
Han Xiao was about to head to the next repair location when a piercing alarm sounded in the base. He paused and narrowed his eyes.
"Level 2 Alert, the Catastrophe has entered the middle stage!"
A strange coldness spread out, and a group of black shadows flew out of the forest. Their bodies were wrapped in black fog, and they flew at a low altitude. They were only a few meters above the ground, avoiding the minefields. Furthermore, they were extremely fast and agile in the air, twisting and turning, and they actually dodged many long-range artillery attacks. The creature's appearance was very eye-catching.
The light of the fire illuminated the appearance of this creature. Its whole body was black and bald. It had no hair, a standing torso, and a height of three to four meters. Its face had no facial features, and it had a pair of curved antennae. It could sense the environment through the antennae. It had four curved claws, a pair of strong anti-jointed beast legs, a pair of dark red bat wings on its back, and three whip-like thorny tails. It was extremely ferocious.
"Nightmares!" Han Xiao thought to himself. He recognized this beast that appeared in the illustration handbook. It meant that the Catastrophe had passed the early stage and finally entered the middle stage. The scale of the early stage was already so large. The Sunils said that the middle and end stages were dozens of times more dangerous than the early stage. The real large-scale casualties would only occur after the early stage.
The retreat order of the logisticians came from the earpiece. "All field maintenance personnel, return to the fifth defense circle and enter the fortress!"
Han Xiao naturally followed the order and walked into the metal fortress with a large group of logisticians. The doors and windows were all locked, and there were no exits. This was a protective measure. They could only see the battle outside from the windows.
Pa!
All of a sudden, the defensive circles activated their powerful high beams. Countless beams of light shot up into the sky, and the night was suddenly as bright as day. The approaching Nightingale let out a shrill cry. It was flying well, but when the strong light swept over, it swayed like a drunkard and knocked into other Nightingales. It rolled and fell to the ground. Many Nightingales fell into the minefield and were blasted into pieces.
The antennae of the Nightmares were very sensitive to light. They only moved in the dark, and once they came into contact with strong light, they would be like human eyes that were stained with wind oil.
The Sunils had come up with all kinds of measures to deal with dangerous beasts. In the middle stage of the Catastrophe, it was no longer as simple as shooting cannons. Instead, according to the types of beasts in the Beast Tide, they used all kinds of measures to deal with the beasts. These measures were learned from the lessons of blood, and they could reduce the casualties to a certain extent.
After all, there were many enemies that could not be dealt with by normal means, such as the poisonous insects that covered the sky. This was a sign that they had entered the last stage.
Every Nightmares had the combat power of a Grade B Super. They were very agile, and their tails could easily penetrate armor. Wherever they passed, many floating cannons were destroyed. The defense team and mercenaries were instantly caught in a tough battle, and the casualties were increasing.
…
The battle continued until dawn, and the remaining Nightmares finally retreated, ushering in a long time of peace. At least a thousand soldiers had died that night. This was the battle with the heaviest losses since the start of the Catastrophe.
Countless corpses were put into body bags and transported back to the rear. Many of the soldiers' families lived in the city. Other than being driven by the sense of mission of the race, they also fought to protect their families in the city. Their corpses would be claimed by their families, and from time to time, loud cries could be heard in the corpse identification area.
Their comrades who were still alive the day before had become incomplete corpses after one night. The atmosphere in the base was extremely gloomy. The soldiers who had gone through a night of intense battle were extremely tired, and their brains were numb. They could not take off their armor because of the emergency battle, so they sat on the ground in groups of two or three, staring in a certain direction. Their eyes were not focused, and they just stood there in a daze.
Only the scene of their loved ones being separated by life and death could make these soldiers' eyes ripple slightly. Many of them thought that they might also be stuffed into a body bag one day. When they thought of the heartbroken expressions of their loved ones, they could not help but feel dejected and sorrowful.
Affected by such an atmosphere, even the rude mercenaries did not dare to be rash. They remained silent and quietly organized their equipment.
This scene made Han Xiao think of Blue Star. No matter where in the galaxy, the pain brought by war was the same.
Suddenly, there was a commotion nearby. A large group of wild teams returned after changing shifts, and the leader seemed to be very famous among the Sunils. Wherever he passed, many soldiers looked at him, and some even stood up to salute him.
The wild teams had a reasonable rotation system. When the people on the shift were in place, the previous batch could come back to rest. The players were part of the rotation to take over this batch of wild teams.
Han Xiao thought back. When he was chatting with Lerden before, he seemed to have mentioned that there were two strongest people in the Sunil race who had reached Grade B. They were mercenaries in the galaxy, and they 'paid' a huge amount of money every year. They were the idols of the entire race.
At this time, the leader at the front of the returning wild team was one of the two Grade B mercenaries — Fernas.
The upper echelons of the Sunil military all showed up to welcome this group of people back.
Fernas waved his hand and said with a deep voice, "We are missing a lot of brothers. We have brought back some of the bodies that we could find."
The crowd separated, and more than twenty body bags were carried out, revealing the faces of the bodies. They were all Supers of the Sunil race, and Fumi was among them.
Han Xiao glanced around and did not see Lerden's body. He looked up and saw that Lerden was standing in the team. Although he had lost two arms and one leg, he could still breathe.
The upper echelons of the military said with a serious expression, "We will take care of their funeral."
"That better be the case," Fernas said calmly.
This group of Supers of the Sunil race looked at the bodies of their comrades and showed a sad expression. The scene was filled with grief, and the Sunil soldiers lowered their heads to remember their heroes.
Han Xiao had been observing this group of Supers and noticed a slight difference. This group of people represented by Lerden only had grief on their faces and silently missed their comrades.
