Kal II's structure can roughly be divided into three areas.

The Outer Zone, also called the Proliferation Zone, occupies half of Kal II's current volume.

This is the part expanded by the Green Skins, pieced together from debris and metal plates.

Here are everywhere the Green Skin Kids' Wu Bao, scrap pots, debris piles, and messy weapon racks.

Newly grown Green Skins are thrown straight here to fend for themselves; those who survive are drafted into combat units.

Here is chaotic, noisy, stinking, and the defense is relatively lax.

The Middle Zone, namely Kal II Space Station's original outer area.

Here is the Green Skins' main defense area, and also the workshops and warehouses.

Defense begins to be strict, with fixed patrol teams and sentry posts, plus various fortresses and heavy weapon units.

Tech Boss kids hammer away here, making tanks and weapons.

Various parts pile up like mountains; welding sparks and piercing noise are everywhere.

The Core Area, the space station's original core part.

Here is the Big Guys' turf, and also a key point for important material reserves.

Defense is strict, passages are narrow, traps and secret passages are everywhere.

Ordinary Green Skins are absolutely not allowed to enter; only Big Guys and elites can go in.

But Likate and Imgaer easily infiltrated the Middle Zone.

Their camouflage was too perfect.

Likate could achieve perfect optical camouflage, Imgaer could turn into various decorations or items in the environment.

Those Green Skin Patrols passed by them, completely unaware of anything.

Sikarian infiltrators were just as easy.

Their speed was extremely fast, and their armor also had optical camouflage function.

Hundred Battles Experience plus top-tier Environmental Detectors let them instantly analyze the optimal route.

They shuttled through the passages like a gust of wind; every strike took a Green Skin's life, then they disappeared without a trace.

Two Infiltration Forces, in a certain passage in the Middle Zone, accidentally met.

The Sikarian infiltrators' detector captured those abnormal organic signals.

In the noisy space station, relying on hearing and vision alone already made it very difficult to distinguish specific information.

But their equipment could display sounds divided into different voiceprints; when they captured a voiceprint completely not belonging to the space station.

This squad of Sikarian infiltrators, ten people stopped immediately, motionless in place like stone statues.

Soon, three Likates entered their area.

When both sides were still twenty meters apart, Likate also stopped,

The Sikarian infiltrators' invisibility might count as top-tier in the Empire, but to Likate it was nothing.

Both sides faced off for zero point one second.

The Sikarian infiltrators struck first; as the Shuriken Guns fired, five infiltrators wielding Power Swords followed closely behind.

But Likate was faster, striking after yet arriving first.

Chitin Claws instantly tore open an infiltrator's chest armor, but that infiltrator's Power Sword also simultaneously pierced Likate's abdomen.

Metal and shell collided, sparks flying everywhere.

The battle lasted less than ten seconds.

Three Likates, one severely injured, retreated.

Five Sikarian infiltrators were scrapped; the rest continued advancing.

They tacitly did not fight again, because both sides knew now was not the time for a decisive battle.

Their target was the Core Area.

The Core Area's entrance had many paths.

The Sikarian infiltrators arrived first.

They used Thermal Cutters to cut open an Alloy Door, and filed in.

But before they could explore carefully, in a short time, Fleet Command lost all infiltrator signals.

They simply had no time to report what happened.

Actually it was not that they had no time to report, but that they could not contact Zongbu.

Not long after entering the Core Area, a squad of infiltrators felt they were being watched by something.

That was not the naked eye or electronic cameras; more like their inner hearts were being probed.

Suddenly, a bolt of Psyker Lightning split out from the darkness, striking an infiltrator into charcoal.

Psyker Flame spontaneously combusted in the crowd; five infiltrators burned instantly, and having lost pain sensation they could only numb-ly wait to die.

Another four infiltrators wanted to flee, but felt an invisible hand grab their necks, twisting their Metal Spines into twists.

In just one minute, nearly a hundred Sikarian infiltrators were wiped out by roughly the same methods.

They didn't even see the enemy clearly.

Likate sensed those deaths outside the Core District.

They did not enter.

Using the Bug Race's instinct, they sensed the terrifying power that had just spread through the Core District.

Spirit energy.

Powerful spirit energy.

One Likate cautiously extended a tentacle, probing the fluctuations of residual spirit spells.

Just a little was enough; afterwards it retracted its tentacle, turned, and left.

They directly withdrew from Kal II in one breath.

Because it had already obtained enough information.

Inside the Core District, there were at least fifty psyker units.

They were spread across every key position, using psyker perception scans to scan every intruder.

Any creature with thought fluctuations could not escape their detection.

And their leader, that strongest spirit energy user, sat in the deepest part of the Core District.

That was a very rare Green Skin.

When the intelligence reached Luna's hands, her expression changed.

"A Green Skin psyker?"

"Yes, Adult." This was a Chaos Cultist who had luckily escaped.

Their infiltration speed was slow, but relying on Psyker Shield, they barely obtained some useful information inside the Core District.

"There are at least two-digit psyker units inside the Core District, distributed everywhere."

"And, it seems there is also a psyker head honcho stationed in the deepest part."

"They use psyker perception scans to scan everything entering the Core District; we dare not continue deep in."

Luna gave no answer.

Psyker Grot, this thing is extremely rare among Green Skins.

Green Skins themselves are not very sensitive to spirit energy, but occasionally a mutated individual can sense the existence of the Warp and awaken psyker power.

These psyker Grots are regarded by other Green Skins as "Perverts" and Outliers, both revered and rejected.

But if a psyker Grot grows strong enough to suppress other psyker Grots, it can become a psyker head honcho.

This thing is harder to deal with than an ordinary War Boss.

Because it not only has power, has a brain, but can also use troublesome psyker means.

After realizing there was some trouble, Luna did not hurry to continue issuing commands.

She needed some help from Him.
