Sheyan smiled and did not say anything. He went all the way down the canyon and approached the water's edge. Only then did he show a puzzled look on his face.
"That's strange. Why hasn't he come yet?"
Cyborg No. 1 coughed.
"Maybe he's already here, but you just haven't noticed."
Sheyan said flatly, "Impossible.
"That's impossible, because he was chasing after his prey, not ambushing his prey! You see, cheetahs, lions, wolves and other animals may be very patient when they wait for their prey, but in the process of chasing, they won't give up any chance to kill their prey. Any animal that dares to waste an opportunity will be … cruelly eliminated by nature. "
"Something must have happened," said Sheyan seriously. Sheyan stopped and said seriously, "According to the information we have, even an ordinary Predator has the ability to heal quickly! Besides, this guy looks like a boss …. Could it be … could it be Ronnie or Dardanian? Only they might have a trump card up their sleeves! Ronnie is very likely! So, does that mean I've gained some precious time to set up a trap? "
Cyborg No. 1 remained silent. In his mind, Sheyan must have come here to take advantage of the fact that the powerful Predator had lost his technological equipment, then covered himself in mud and hid in the water, successfully avoiding the enemy's search. However, even someone as cunning as Cyborg No. 1 had overlooked one thing, and that was, the direction Sheyan was heading in happened to be the same as the direction of the huge and strange footprint that he had discovered earlier!
***
At a place 2.7 million kilometres away from planet Uplos.
Inside the Kitty Hawk base.
At this time, Mungo already held great power in his hands, so he did not feel too much pressure at this time. He had already done more than what he was supposed to do. Not only had he confirmed that there was an extremely rich Pi vein on planet Uplos, he had also established a connection with Prince Pombaru. Even the old man could now handle some trivial matters.
Mungo could see the sorry state Sheyan and the others were in right now, but there was nothing Mungo could do. Not only that, but he also felt a deep pain in his heart! For every death of the contestants, at least two hundred pounds of high-purity Pi elemental bars would disappear from this world.
Most importantly, from the looks of it, no one would be able to escape. The feeling of a cooked duck flying away in vain made Mungo very, very unhappy. But other than pinching the butt of the female secretary next to him, he didn't have any other way to vent.
"I'll kill a few more Predators for you in the future," Mungo thought shamelessly as he lay in his chair with his legs crossed.
Although the technological advancements of the Predators were much more advanced than that of the humans, Mungo was still full of confidence that they would win. The reason was, to put it crudely, biologically. This confidence stemmed from the structural differences between the two sides.
Right now, the total population of the Imperium was … about seven thousand trillion people, not to mention that the Imperium's territory covered countless planets, and this was just the census numbers from thirty years ago, not to mention that the Imperium's … rebel army wasn't included.
According to the investigation, the total population of the Predators was between 500,000 and 1,000,000.
One million versus seven thousand trillion.
And despite the difference in technological level between the two sides, they were still from the same era.
Therefore, the outcome of the war was clear. After the war was launched, the Imperium only needed to consider the number of warships and the number of people it would lose.
The Imperium's previous hesitation was mainly due to the warning of the scientists: if they interacted too deeply with the misplaced races of another plane, it would cause unpredictable consequences and huge risks. But in the face of enough benefits, or to be precise, enough Pi ore veins, this risk changed from a high risk that "might be unbearable" to a low risk that "should be bearable".
But at that moment, a green light suddenly flashed on Mungo's desk. He was in a state of boredom, so he pressed a button on the desk.
"Come in."
Mungo's adjutant came in with a second lieutenant. The second lieutenant was called Archer. He was a civilian, but he was quite skilled in technology. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to climb from the bottom to his current position. Archer was the one who had been sent to lead the way for the contestants.
Archer looked at Mungo's bald head and stammered, "General Sir, you've completed the mission.
"General, I already know from your speech that the mission has been successfully completed, but I also heard that there are still allies trapped inside."
In order to boost morale, Mungo had indeed announced the success of the mission as soon as possible. However, he was also coveting the high Pi purity of the contestants, so he also mentioned their situation, hoping that someone would share his burden. To be a good leader, he was good at letting his subordinates share the burden. He did not expect someone to step forward.
Archer stammered.
"The reactors of the Kitty Hawk are all overloaded. Sir, you must be using this ultra-high frequency output to penetrate the Predator blockade and observe the situation inside through the cyborgs' built-in cameras."
Mungo was displeased.
"Get to the point!"
Startled, Archer said at once:
"Sir, if you can convert the energy from the overloaded reactors and inject it into our radar jammers, we only need to converge the frequency bands, and it should be effective against the Predator mothership. To put it bluntly, we can make their detection system lose at least 80% of its functionality."
Mungo knew the current situation of the contestants like the back of his hand. After hearing Archer's words, he immediately clapped his hands.
"Very well, you'll be in charge of this! If you do a good job, you'll be promoted by two ranks. If you don't, you'll be court-martialed! "

The contestants stopped in their tracks.
The terrain here was quite special. On this plateau, the river flowed in a deep rift valley. The cliffs of the rift valley were usually at a 90-degree angle and were difficult to climb. Only in this place did the slope of about three to four kilometers long on both sides of the rift valley show signs of collapse. The slope was only about 40 degrees at most.
The width of the river also increased significantly here, so the water flow naturally became shallower and slower. Because of this, the riverbank was full of boulders the size of houses. The ground was slippery and covered with moss-like plants. The terrain was very complicated. For the Arbitrators who only used javelins, this place was undoubtedly very effective against them.
Obviously, it was very convenient to drink water here, so no race would use this place as a nest. The creatures would usually come here before sunset to drink a bellyful of water, so the water here was still condensed.
That was why Sheyan chose this place as the battlefield. For him, if he could find such a place, his original 40% chance of winning became 50%. If he could drag the enemy into a water battle, he could even have a 60% chance of winning!
Suddenly, a small stone began to bounce down from the cliff next to them. It hit the rock wall and fell into the slow river, splashing up a small wave and breaking the tranquility of the area.
Sheyan instinctively looked up at the source of the stone and saw a person.
A person covered in blood and on the verge of death.
Ronnie.
He did not look good. Not only was his right hand severed at the shoulder, but his intestines were also flowing out of the wound on his stomach. The intestines were dangling half a meter outside his body. He was also tied up and wrapped in a hunting net. He was dangling on the cliff hundreds of meters high. His body was supported by a blood-red spear nailed to the rock wall.
"You're finally here?" asked Sheyan indifferently.
At this moment, the Arbitrator's slender figure appeared on the slope. He looked no different from when he had just stepped down from the treatment table, except for the terrifying cross-shaped wound on his chest. The black and green scab looked like it had just formed, and even the white bones inside were clearly visible.
He walked down step by step with a blood-red spear in his hand. He was fearless and filled with an indomitable will. Even though Blood Spear was already heavily injured and had no defensive power at all, Blood Spear was still able to defend himself.
But he believed in the spear in his hand.
This belief even surpassed life and death! To be precise, he had entrusted his life and death to this belief!
Sheyan shamefully shrank back, but it was not shameful. He had to buy more time for himself. He had to delay until his disease took effect on the Arbitrator. That would be the prelude to the counterattack!
The previous disease had already affected the Arbitrator for nearly ten minutes, and it had taken Sheyan a long time to decipher the Arbitrator's immune system. Now, it was time to continue deciphering the data. Therefore, Sheyan set himself a target of eight minutes.
Delaying the Arbitrator for eight minutes in this maze-like rocky beach might be a very difficult task, but it was a task that Sheyan had no choice but to face and challenge.
Suddenly, a strong sense of threat rose in Sheyan's heart. After the Arbitrator lost his perception-enhancing equipment, Sheyan's perception was perhaps the only advantage he had. So, Sheyan decisively chose to jump away. But in the air, an indescribable light pierced through Sheyan! Then, the Arbitrator's trademark bending over, like a slow-motion replay of a throw, calmly straightening his body!
