The most unbearable thing is its unparalleled tunneling method.

Don't be fooled by their body length of over two hundred meters; their agility underground is unimaginable.

They can reach speeds of over 250 kilometers per hour, comparable to many small orbital vehicles.

Additionally, the tunneling worms have a peculiar biological magnetic field within them.

This magnetic field cancels out most underground detection equipment scans, making them very difficult to deal with.

So in the eyes of the Guleng Star Federation people, this creature is practically a phantom demolition worker.

There are frequently buildings damaged by tunneling worms, causing tens of thousands to suffer from disasters.

With no other choice, to resist the invasion of such exotic beasts, the Federation can only fortify the corridors on the city's edges.

Strengthening the foundation as deep and as firm as possible to block them from underground.

Fortunately, these monsters don't favor human steel buildings.

They accidentally enter the city, without causing large-scale harm.

The main character in Zhang Xiaoman's plan this time is these giant worms despised on the rankings.

The story starts with the first time he entered Base 19-73.

At that time, he took Thor there to look for a Corona Combat Suit and discovered traces of tunneling worms in the deepest underground of the base.

From that day onward, Zhang Xiaoman first learned about these worms on Guleng Star and began nurturing the seeds of a plan.

Later, when Thor and his girlfriend went to Water Blue Star, Zhang Xiaoman officially enlisted Su Ya.

She teamed up with him to execute a plan capable of saving all the Guleng people in this world.

Executing the plan is difficult, but summarizing it is simple.

The idea is to utilize the tunneling worms' characteristic of excavating pits to create countless passages underground connecting various cities.

Just like the subway on Water Blue Star.

With the existence of Crimson Light, ordinary people could hardly engage in activities normally.

Once the World Tree is successfully planted, such a vast area naturally needs to accommodate more survivors.

Thus, people from other cities can't come over, and a surplus of population can't be centralized.

So Zhang Xiaoman came up with an idea.

If traveling on the land doesn't work, I'll let them move from underground.

Hence, the tunneling worm plan was born.

This plan can be simply summarized as: let the worms dig pits to aid the transfer of survivors.

However, when it comes to execution, things aren't as simple as they appear.

Given the current situation, there are too many problems that need solving.

For instance, the source of tunneling worms.

Another issue is how to get them to obey instructions.

Even if they obediently dig pits, how to ensure the tunnels won't collapse due to soil issues and allow regular people to pass safely?

Zhang Xiaoman has already found some solutions to these problems through his methods, with indispensable cooperation from all survivors.

Now, with the successful planting of the World Tree, the tunneling worm plan is about to be formally implemented.

Using the current corridor zone as the starting point, it will spread internally to the entire area until reaching United City in the central zone.

This step is merely a preliminary test plan; once successful, it can be applied across the entire Guleng Star.

"I hope to see the real recovery day of Guleng Star..."

Su Ya looks toward the sky that is already brightening up and feels deeply moved.

Reflecting on it, the dark night has passed, and dawn is approaching.

Though this dawn is merely an illusion created by the Shield.

To the Guleng people who are nearly driven mad by the torment of Crimson Light, it represents hope.

At this moment, everyone in the entire Survivor Camp has come to the window.

Joyful, excited, tearful, silent...

Each person gazes at the sky gradually lighting up, feeling anxious and tense.

Afraid it might all be just a dream.

In the past, it was just the most ordinary scenery, so ordinary as to be overlooked.

But now, it has become the long-desired beautiful future for everyone.

Finally, the gentle sunshine shines upon the earth.

No terrifying monsters, nor suffocating crimson.

Everything seems to have returned to how it used to be.

"In July of Federation Calendar 936, we finally saw the long-lost sky, Prism once again presented its most beautiful side to us..."

"..."

The next day, at the World Tree Base on Guleng Star, codename — Hope.

Under the Tree Gate.

A green light slowly lit up, a vortex filled with vitality began rotating inside the gate, and soon, dozens of figures emerged from it.

"They have arrived!"

By the gate, more than twenty guards led by Su Ya had been waiting there for some time.

According to the Resident's message, today a first batch of Pioneers from another planet with a similarly civilized level will be sent here, to assist us in clearing monsters near the base.

These people are called "Expeditionary," each one a battle-hardened warrior.

Su Ya is very pleased with their arrival.

In today's base, the increase in survivors has seriously outgrown the original number of guards.

Besides, with the completion of Hope Base, people from the No Light Zone have gradually emerged.

Among them, some have come to the upper level, causing countless security management concerns.

Fortunately, the joining of this batch of Expeditionary has relieved their pressure, causing Su Ya to breathe a sigh of relief.

"Hello, I am the captain of Hope Base Guard Team, you can call me Su Ya."

At the forefront of the crowd, the valiant female captain greeted the arrivals with a Star Touching Ceremony.

"Hello, Su Ya, we are the Wildfire Expeditionary Team, I am the leader of this action, Weiss Kamman, nice to meet you."

On the other side, the leader is Weiss, head of the Wildfire Department.

Considering it's the first time the expedition team executes a mission on an outer planet, Weiss will personally lead and stay for a period.

Once everything here is on track, he will then leave, handing over the tasks here to the Expeditionary alone.

"The matter of the Expeditionary team has already been told to us by the Resident, thank you very much for your help. On behalf of all survivors of Hope Base, thank you!"

Su Ya bowed to the fifty-plus people before her.

"I've arranged your accommodations. Since the base has just been completed, many conditions are quite rudimentary, I hope you understand."

She then turned and gestured, leading over fifty people into the distant building.

Behind, Morris stiffly followed the team toward his dormitory.

Like everyone present, he is now in a state of bewilderment.

Even though he had prepared mentally.

When this moment finally arrived, it still felt unbelievable.

Early in the morning, they packed up their equipment at Weiss's urging and followed him to the central open area of Shaking Light Island.

Morris had already noticed this area before.

However, aside from the three huge Stone Pillars there, there's nothing else, leaving him guessing the purpose.

However, this morning he learned its function and personally experienced it.

According to Morris's original thought, being sent to an outer planet should involve some kind of hi-tech spaceship.

Just like in those novels and movies.

Vehicles using some jump-like abilities or traveling through wormholes, taking us to the destination.

Unexpectedly, he didn't board a ship as imagined but entered a space formed by Stone Pillars.

With the activation of the Eye of the Starry Sky mark, the Final Gate to the Original Realm was successfully opened.

The milky white brilliance enveloped them, leading them into a new world.
