"First wave of interception encountered… three Level 32 Ash Worms. Resolution time: twelve seconds."
Zhao Zhen stared at the screen.

"His combat rhythm is steady," Zhao Zhen said in a low voice. "Keep an eye on the other teams."
"Lei Lie's squad has slowed by thirty-five percent. They're engaging a mixed pack of Star Beasts, including two Level 33 Lava Lizards and numerous Radiation Beetles. Estimated time to full clearance is over three minutes."
"The solo target to the southeast has slowed by twenty-five percent. Encountered and quickly broke away from a Level 34 Mutated Shadow Claw Mongoose, avoiding entanglement."
"The remaining two teams… both have slowed by over forty percent."
The gap was widening.
