Chapter 105: Exploring the Power to Survey an Entire Planet

Human?

That world also has humans?

The people in the Command Center, gazing at the dry corpse on the screen, couldn't help but feel puzzled.

"." Sui Bian still remained silent.

Now, he connects the earlier details with the stone array and the dry corpse before him, and thereby fully analyzes this anomalous event.

Prehistoric War Chronicle.

Thanks to the serum's enhancement, Sui Bian has not forgotten the extremely violent, gory anime he watched a few years ago.

Since the zombie dinosaur that was found a few days ago, spewing green fluid from its mouth, Sui Bian vaguely inferred it was Prehistoric War Chronicle, but he could not be certain yet.

The stone array and dry corpse displayed on the screen reminded Sui Bian of a scene where a group of witches sacrificed men to obtain newborns.

That group of witches possessed the ability to change their forms, and even to span time and space.

However, the witches' weakness was obvious: they could be destroyed physically.

With that in mind, Sui Bian inferred that the witches might have suffered some mishap, or in extreme panic unintentionally opened a "gate" that connects two planets.

He just didn't know whether the "Prehistoric First Hunk" dragon rider from the series, and his companion—a medium-sized female Tyrannosaurus—were present.

Detected a reconnaissance squad under the host's command, successfully traced clues that opened the "Space Gate", thus issuing a time‑limited mission.

Mission: Eliminate the witch clan.

Mission success: Reward 300 points, and the "Space Gate" will be retained.

Time limit: 36 hours.

Note: After 36 hours, the "Space Gate" will close automatically.

?

Just as Sui Bian was wondering if the witches opened the Space Gate, the system confirmed it.

After hearing the system's emotionless words, he lifted his left hand to lightly pinch his jaw, falling into a brief contemplation.

The elimination of the witches aligns with his own intentions, and the 300‑point reward indicates, from a side perspective, that the witches are not a major threat.

But the fact that the "Space Gate" can be retained is worth Sui Bian's careful consideration.

The planet beyond the Space Gate is a wilderness, inhabited by Earth‑like creatures such as dinosaurs and primitive humans.

It also harbors viruses that can zombify organisms, and even dinosaurs capable of "invisibility", making it an outright survival‑of‑the‑fittest world.

Yet the system lists this as a reward, indicating that, according to its assessment, that world poses no threat to Umbrella.

In other words…

The retention of the Space Gate grants Umbrella the right to explore an entire planet.

Known and unknown mineral resources, abundant biological experiment material, and ample space for testing various high‑tech weapons, and so on.

Decision made.

Sui Bian lowered his left hand, stood with both hands clasped behind his back, looked up at the large screen, and issued a deep command:

"Notify the temporary task force's undead to set up small surveillance in the forest around the stone array, then autonomously find the most suitable hideout for guarding.

Tell T-02 to escort those D-class personnel back to the Space Gate, and then have it wait outside the Space Gate."

"Yes." The staff began carrying out Sui Bian's orders.

The content on the screen also began to change with Sui Bian's command.

The undead placed small cameras on the rainforest trees, then, relying on rainforest combat experience implanted in their brains, selected the optimal hideout.

The D-class personnel being escorted by the Stalker, and also receiving orders to return to the outpost, were all ecstatic as they rushed toward the Space Gate.

For no other reason than being able to return alive.

Returning also yields the appropriate reward, enough for the D-class personnel to enjoy for a while.

"Hong Hou." At this moment, Sui Bian glanced sideways at Hong Hou and said softly:

"Ask Director Wang whether he's interested in putting that thing into a real combat; after all, research is meant to be used, and paper analysis is always just paper, far less effective than actual combat data."

"Alright." Hong Hou nodded, and immediately contacted Wang Zhaofeng, who was far away in the mother nest.

"Sir." Soon, Hong Hou replied coldly: "Director Wang Zhaofeng has no objections."

"Fine, arrange transport as soon as possible," Sui Bian said in a low voice.

"Yes, sir."

…

Eight hours later, Earth time.

The rainforest region beyond the Space Gate also entered night due to the planet's rotation.

In the night sky there was also a moon‑like satellite, providing reflected starlight to the planet's dark side.

Pterosaurs soaring in the sky chose to return to their nests, while numerous dinosaurs still roamed the rainforest, along with a saber‑toothed tiger that had been brutally killed by a ferocious dinosaur.

Immediately after, the dinosaur that had killed the saber‑toothed tiger hadn't even begun to feast when it encountered an even larger Tyrannosaurus.

Howl—!

The dinosaur let out a symbolic roar at the Tyrannosaurus and then fled in panic.

Roar…

The Tyrannosaurus merely glanced at the dinosaur, then slowly approached the saber‑toothed tiger's corpse and, in a few bites, swallowed it whole.

After enjoying the "dessert", the Tyrannosaurus left without lingering, to avoid larger predators that arrived here smelling the blood.

Even at deep night, the planet still enacts the law of the jungle.

Meanwhile, on the side of the stone array used for witch rituals, a different scene unfolded.

In the gap between the two massive stone pillars, the dry corpse had long been removed, replaced by a new victim.

A male human wearing grass trousers, with a muscular build and a shaved head, dressed in the standard prehistoric caveman style.

Beneath this caveman, eerie green flames burned.

And the witches gathered around the flame—hunched, cloaked in tattered capes, antlers sprouting from their heads, eyes emitting green light—were even more uncanny.

"Ugh! Ahhh!" the caveman roared, his face twisted with unwillingness as he struggled fiercely.

"Gah—!"

At that moment, a long caw echoed from the sky, drawing the witches' and the caveman's attention.

In the northern sky, a massive crow, bearing a slender, white‑haired witch on its back, swooped swiftly over the stone formation.

The crow circled once, flapped its wings downwards, and finally alighted on the stone hilltop at the left edge of the formation.

The witch flipped down, grasping a slender staff, and walked slowly down the stone steps.

Seeming to have spotted the leader, the witches bowed respectfully, clearing a path for the slender witch that led close to the caveman's feet.

"Ah! Ahhh!"

Sensing the slender witch's aura, the caveman's thrashing grew even more frantic.

"Na Wu Kaba! Bili da!"

The slender witch raised the staff in her right hand, opened her mouth, and shouted an unknown incantation loudly.

But the incantation was not finished.

"Ri~——!" A flash of dazzling blue light engulfed the entire stone formation.

"Boom~——!" Followed immediately by a deafening explosion.
