Chapter 271 Edge of the Known Space - Clash (2/2)
The speed in which this net of lightning extended was incredible, and was difficult to avoid, as theapproached it, the current would jump from the net to the object which had touched it, and electrocute anything that came in contact with it
The only person who had expected this, were Ada and the bearded explorer, which created a layer of metal around them which would defend them from the electric net
One by one, the net passed through the aliens, and electrocuted theh to stop them for a fraction of a second Fortunately, a fraction of a second was all that Ada, the Bearded man, and Krit needed
Multiple knives and numerous bullets were shot towards each of the aliens, and penetrated their bodiesthem lifeless Those ere not attacked by the Krit and the injured Ada, were cut in half by the bearded er than a few seconds, nu in space Unfortunately, before they could be taken by the bearded explorer, which was still busy with fighting against the still nuht, a particularly fast alien would always grab the corpses in tie in the minds of the four explorers of how the aliens appeared
The collaboration between the four explorers showed how i else, hoell they knew each other's capabilities They were able to sync perfectly, and in certain cases, they would predict each other's actions, or even aid one another without having to communicate
The nuo down, but even though the situation was getting better for the five of them, the bearded man had still failed to complete his mission
There were two possible conclusions for this ed to kill all of the enemies, and keep one alive in order to extort information, while the second, was to escape, and come back with a more or less even amount of losses
Of the two possibilities, the second one was by far the worse conclusion According to their plan, the soldier should have never fought to begin with, and the moment they did, they immediately attempted to use what they had learned as soldiers Unfortunately, due to the surprise nature of the attack, they had ended up being killed immediately

The actions of the two gave the others enough ti net, and to find a way to retreat
Unfortunately, these main abilities of these individuals seemed to be about speed And the moment of distraction of the bearded man was just what they needed to retreat, and escape towards the wormhole
”Should we follow the his o If we can't kill them all, it's better if we let as many as possible alive” responded the bearded man He was sure that, if a chance for diplole kill from both sides would turn into the most expensive of debts
With a bit of disappointment, the bearded o He felt no pity for her, as the chosen of Ieere le tear What he was feeling bad about, was losing the chance of probing into the alien'sto force the infor towards Ada, which was currently healing herself with an extre pill paired with her oer
