After returning from Nipoguan and taking a brief moment to regroup, there was a week of rest and recovery ahead.
The weapons and equipment exchanged for the mission were rarely utilized. It seemed that even in large-scale war missions, there was no necessity for real combat; the Human Alliance's powerful weapons could be remotely controlled from Outer Space.
Destruction was simply a matter of targeting and bombing specific locations, with an error rate of only one percent.
However, it was somewhat disappointing that the exchanged equipment went unused. Yet, the casualty rate in this battle was kept to a minimum. Although the initial phase appeared to have a high casualty rate, the overall numbers were still terrifying, with nearly seven to eight thousand people perishing from start to finish.
War was indeed terrifying, especially when confronting alien invasions. The threat posed by the insects was unparalleled. In this era, close-quarters combat with real weapons was rarely necessary, yet so many lives were still lost. Fortunately, half of those injured would eventually return to their original units after treatment, but soldiers who suffered severe disabilities would only be able to serve in support roles as new recruits in the future.
There was certainly a need for many such soldiers. Adorned with numerous badges, they represented a part of the military's honor. Although soldiers did not fear death as much, their views on fallen comrades—regardless of past conflicts—were shaped by the understanding that these sacrifices were made for humanity's survival and sustainable development.
Surviving in such apocalyptic conditions was no easy feat for anyone—civilians, citizens, or soldiers alike. Frontline warriors, especially those suddenly assigned to the Suicide Squad, had no choice in their fate. Yet upon enlisting, they took an oath to obey orders and protect the vulnerable members of society, safeguarding the sanctuary that raised them.
During the week back at the association, the first task involved welcoming missions where each hunter had to explain the current situation on television. As heroes, they needed to exude a heroic aura. Besides discussing ongoing issues, they had to reassure everyone that despite adverse conditions, humanity's situation was improving and that they could remain hopeful and resilient.
Professionals across various fields had been living through very difficult times. While things had been tough before, life seemed somewhat better now with a glimmer of hope. After all, insects were no longer the invincible foes depicted in textbooks; two recent war missions had ended in victory for humanity. Although there were costs involved, humanity's foundation remained solid and unshakeable.
Specifically, other shelters around the world had also undergone transformative changes—not only in technological advancements but also in strategies for dealing with the Zerg. From high-ranking officials to ordinary citizens, everyone had viable methods to address this issue.
After more than a week of running around, fatigue had taken its toll on his body, causing him to appear uncomfortable around others. The audience outside Confronting grew weary of the same old lines; thankfully, the number of interviewers gradually decreased as if they had been deterred.
However, they finally found time to rest peacefully during what remained of their days. This war mission showcased humanity's collective spirit; without such unity, several cities would have been breached multiple times.
Without a doubt, this operation was heavily influenced by luck, particularly humanity's foresight and the ability to discern the patterns in the Zerg's offensive development. This was a result that had eluded humanity in previous wars against the Zerg.
Ultimately, this outcome would serve as a lesson for the future, as it revealed a pattern; whether biological or otherwise, familiar probabilistic details would inevitably emerge. Identifying these familiar details equated to seizing the initiative.
The current developments were perfectly timed; such a victory could be transformative, marking a significant leap forward for humanity's resurgence.
Though this leap might seem substantial, when measured in terms of time, it could take centuries. The patterns identified in a single battle could share many commonalities, and recognizing these shared traits would benefit humanity's future development.
The Zerg was not invincible; it was merely that previously, humanity had only perceived its might, viewing it as a god-like creation with its terrifying physique—conventional bullets often failing to penetrate. A once horrific battle involving one hundred thousand troops had turned into a massacre reminiscent of hell on earth.
That was a dark chapter in history and a source of shame. One hundred thousand lives—equivalent to a hundred thousand buns—could sustain the Zerg for some time, yet they were slaughtered within just ten hours. How brutal and humiliating that past was.
While the past is painful to recall, it also serves as a reminder that had this battle ended in failure, human civilization might have regressed by a thousand years. Such regression would mean that the current Electronic Weapons could revert to an era dominated by Cold Weapons.
Transitioning from an electronic age back to Cold Weapons would be a significant setback, especially since Cold Weapons would likely be even less effective against the Zerg. Consequently, humanity would find it increasingly difficult to gain an advantage in future battles. The result would be isolation and self-preservation until one day they faced invasion from the insects, leading to their extinction.
At that point, humanity might cease to exist on Earth altogether. Perhaps some survivors would hide underground, but they would never see sunlight again. They would long for knowledge and yearn for the outside world but would be powerless to change the grim reality of humanity's devastating defeat.
Fortunately, this battle represented a probabilistic victory; nonetheless, it significantly boosted morale. Videos showcasing this success spread across cities, aiming to show humanity that these insects could indeed be defeated.
Wounded soldiers were assigned to recuperate while fresh recruits filled their vacant positions, ensuring that human spirit remained resilient.
At this moment, the Four Hunter Team emerged from the Noah Military Industrial Complex. Before departing, they had their off-road vehicles modified at this mechanized facility. The vehicles were retrofitted with an unfinished Anti-Gravity Module and engines powered by Jet Engines.
They intended to make this vehicle capable of flight, with two machine guns behind the seats transforming into cannon barrels.
It turned out that the car could also be converted into an aircraft, but the cost was a staggering ten thousand Reward Points, which meant exhausting their entire fortune for such a precious flying machine. Thus, the Four Hunter Team entered the era of flight.
