The Samaritans only knew that the hackers, including the runes, were hired to disrupt his normal operation and undermine the Temporal Council's rule in the Elysian plane. In the aftermath of that event, the Samaritans organized a targeted crackdown on the wealthy and former high-ranking officials.

Under his targeted repression, most of the activists were arrested or placed under surveillance, and the morale and mobilized resources of these remnants of the former regime were weakened.

It was also after that that the Samaritans never heard the name of the rune again. Before today, he thought that this superb hacker who had never been able to find out his true identity had seen the shape clearly and did not dare to provoke himself again.

Unexpectedly, the other party not only did not stop, but actually made such a big thing under his nose. And depending on the situation, the agent qì person that the other party got is not one, and there should still be a new plan for his own AI in the future!

This new discovery forced him to re-evaluate his security system. And while the fierce power struggle and extremely stressful resettlement work was going on in the rear, the expedition's actions in the aura plane were also affected to a certain extent.

Shen Chao had heard about the riots in the rear a few days ago and asked some troops to withdraw to deal with the situation, and he also knew that the situation in the rear seemed to be getting more and more complicated, but now he didn't have much energy to share with the situation in the rear, because their operations in the aura plane were at a rather critical stage.

About three days ago, Master Chief and the Amber they were on were connected with the expedition ships that had gone to meet them. Shen Chao was preparing to meet with him, but this did not mean that Master Chief would be able to meet Shen Chao immediately, as the galaxy they were now in was quite far away.

For a space-time fleet equipped with the BSG jump engine, as long as there are coordinates in any area within the galaxy, it is only a matter of instant jump to reach it. But for the Amber on which the Master Chief was ridden, it was not an easy task to travel thousands of light-years and through layers of Covenant protective nets.

The system in which the Space-Time Fleet is currently located is definitely not "friendly" to them, as their current location is in the actual control area of the Star Alliance. Thousands of light-years nearby are the Star Alliance's Controlled Star Regions.

Before the outbreak of war, this ordinary-looking planetary system was once occupied by the UNSC, of course. There are no traces of humans in the vicinity for a long time, and it is precisely because of this that the number of Covenant patrol ships in the nearby galaxy is also very rare.

The reason why the space-time fleet ventured here was not to merge with the Star Alliance, on the contrary, the principle of their trip was to avoid conflict with the Star Alliance forces as much as possible. Because the purpose of their trip was to carry out an archaeological operation.

The planetary system they are currently in has not always belonged to the Covenant, in fact, it was a colony of the UNSC before the war between the UNSC and the Covenant broke out. And it also happens to be the site of the remains of an ancient civilization.

There is a terrestrial planet in this galaxy with a beautiful environment, and its atmospheric composition, gravity index, etc. are very similar to those of Earth. The name of the planet is Chamhak. It is the nest of ancient humans tens of thousands of years ago.

As the lair of ancient humans, the planet is home to a large number of ancient human relics and some earlier pioneer remains. Before the outbreak of the war between humanity and the Star Alliance, it was developed on a small scale by the UNSC.

However, due to ONI's secrecy policy and the fact that the precursor genes on their bodies were not identified by the ruins, they were hindered from excavating their ancestral ruins. Until the UNSC was completely expelled from this star field, they had not been able to effectively excavate any of the ruins on Chamhak, let alone recover any advanced technological achievements.

The expedition dared to infiltrate this Covenant-controlled planetary system during this period, and was ready to organize a ruins excavation operation here because they had already figured out the full deployment of the Covenant on the front line. Knowing the movements of the Covenant's main fleet, they don't need to worry about their safety during the excavation period.

Today's Star Covenant forces are massively assembling in the Bojiang Star Region. Pursue the remnants of the fleet of the UNSC. In such a "safe" rear area as Chamhak, they were almost completely undefended.

Even those outside the expedition leaked their own storage early in the operation. It would take at least 4 days for the Covenant's frontline fleet to get over, enough for them to evacuate all their personnel without any pressure.

At this time, in the spherical bridge of the Pegasos, Shen Chao was rhythmically tapping on the transparent control table around him. He had been having a sense of foreboding since yesterday, as if some unknown danger was imminent.

But after carefully examining every step of the plan's implementation, he didn't find any significant loopholes. Although the situation in the rear is a bit annoying. But fortunately, the actions of the aura plane have always been smooth, and it can be said that everything is planned.

But this rational perception of "everything is in the plan" did not diminish his sense of crisis from the depths of his instincts. Since today, his premonition of danger has not only not become smaller, but has inexplicably increased somewhat.

"Don't think nonsense, leave ...... after doing this ticket," Shen Chao said to himself in his mind. Although I can't be sure if my hunch is correct. But he was still ready to temporarily lead the team out of this dangerous plane after Chamhak had made a profit.

Objectively speaking, they have gained quite a lot in the aura plane. If the population they brought back from the Halo Plane was directly converted into productivity, then they had already exceeded the tasks of the first stage, and it was time to go home.

As the final leg of their mission at this stage, the expedition had already spent two days infiltrating and surveying the environment on the surface of Chamhak before the operation. While the reconnaissance was underway, the space-time fleet stayed in an open area 4 astronomical units away from Chamhak, carefully preparing for the landing operation.

As a habitable terrestrial planet that has been occupied by the Covenant for more than a decade, the surface of Chamhak has naturally been fully utilized by the Covenant. Not only have they discovered and explored a large number of ancient human remains on the surface, but they have also garrisoned here.

Until now, there are still several Covenant archaeological teams slowly excavating the ruins on the surface of Chamhak. There are also a number of military camps and boot camps on the surface of the non-archaeological zone. Coupled with some scattered settlements, the population of the Star Alliance on the surface of Chamhak is already around 500,000!

This population is also due to the unfamiliar appearance of the ruins, which has led the Covenant to believe that this is not the remains of their creator precursors. Therefore, it is very cautious when placing people on this planet, otherwise this place should have become an important planet with a population of hundreds or even tens of millions.

Although he had an ominous premonition in his heart, Shen Chao still launched an action according to the plan. After his order was issued, some of the teams that had infiltrated Chamhak in advance blew up all telecommunication equipment on the planet's surface almost simultaneously.

In doing so, they cut off communication between the Covenant forces in this system and the rest of the galaxy. Signaling the loss of the Covenant's long-range communications, the space-time fleet quickly jumped en masse to a position less than an astronomical unit away from Chamhak and began the follow-up combat mission.

Their first goal at this time is to nullify the enemy's ability to escape. Although the communication tower has been killed by the team on the ground, there are still some large ships on the surface that can take off. Once they take off and leave the system, the fleet's whereabouts are leaked.

Although they are not afraid of the main fleet of the Covenant, which is slow compared to them, being discovered early will severely reduce the time they can explore the ruins, so they must be quite serious about dealing with these ships that try to take to the skies.

This is not too difficult to do, although the current space-time fleet is slightly reduced in size compared to half a month ago, but it is still not a problem to deal with a few small and medium-sized ships of the Star Alliance. Under their blockade, none of the Covenant ships with long-range communication and jumping capabilities were able to escape the atmosphere of Chamhak.

It only took an hour and a half for them to land and take control of all the predetermined locations. Of course, the predetermined locations mentioned here are all areas close to the ruins, and the fighting continues in other areas.

The combat mission has been carried out to this point for more than half of the time, and although there are many remnants on the surface of the planet, they are scattered all over the place, lacking contact and organization. It will not hinder the expedition's excavation plans in a short period of time.

Now all that's left is for researchers to quickly enter the ruins and search for available numbers. The number jù level collected in the ring belt is too high to be used, but the technological level of ancient humans has long been lower than that of the forerunners, so their remaining scientific and technological data is theoretically better understood and restored.

Unlike the Precursor ruins they had seen before, the ancient human ruins on Chamhak had not been damaged for 100,000 years, and they were surprisingly strong. However, the architecture here is clearly not as futuristic as the forerunners.

It must be said that the ancient human ruins here look very retro, and the cottage feeling is full! The reason for this feeling is that most of the ancient human remains on the surface of the earth look like the main plane, ancient Chinese and ancient Roman architecture.

Not only that, but these two styles are often mixed and matched, and they look very similar to those mix-and-match style hotels in the small and medium-sized cities of the Celestial Empire on the main plane. Fortunately, the real purpose of the expedition was not to do an archaeological survey of the types of buildings here, so no one complained much about these buildings. (To be continued......)

PS: Black Cat apologizes first, I was busy editing the set of settings some time ago, and the creative ideas of the guide zhì are out of touch, and there has been no update for several days. Today's state is restored, hurry up and code out a chapter to send out, if the idea is smooth, the black cat can recover at least one more level a day.
