Across the fiery-red clouds, a rift in space and time slowly tore open, like an eye in the heavens. A long-awaited aurora burst into brilliant colors.
The first thing to shoot out of the rift was an armed helicopter, its entire body painted jet black.
The rift quickly closed. The quantum transmitter's faster-than-light, same-time, same-place effect was indeed accurate to the millisecond. The armed helicopter had been transported without error to Planet 132, a wasteland world in the Tianma Star Alliance.
472 years ago, the Tianma Star Alliance officially declared Planet 132 a dead world with no survivors and expelled it from the Alliance's civilization system.
Amid the powerful airflow, the helicopter's hatch opened, and five special-ops members wearing sea-blue Tianma uniforms leaped out one after another.
The team unfolded the V-shaped flight units on their backs. In an instant, they seemed to sprout mecha wings and soar through the sky.
The team consisted of three men and two women. At their head was Jiang Fangtang, the Tianma Star Alliance's number-one beauty and assistant.
Behind her came Bai Qi, captain of the Alliance's security force; special forces soldiers Shang Jian and Long Yue; and Bai Chen, Bai Qi's younger sister and a scout.
