Chen Ming looked at the computed results, feeling a bit hesitant.
The coordinates were not too far from his current location, and the spacecraft wouldn’t take long to reach there.
However, the people who stayed here before likely went there; their identities should be investigators or researchers.
Since the Mind Pulse is still ongoing, it ans they most likely perished there.
Though it’s possible they successfully found the Mind Pulse Generator, took it or destroyed it, but a new one might have appeared afterward.
Regardless, that coordinate point and its vicinity are quite dangerous.
The chanical Race, which can delay the expansion of the Human Empire, is sothing Chen Ming absolutely doesn’t want to encounter.
Even if the chanical Race on the planet might only be scattered a little, Chen Ming doesn’t have military spacecraft and weapons specifically for combat.
The actual combat capability between them might be uncertain.
Thus, after much consideration, Chen Ming decided.
To go take a look.
Even though he knows the danger and the difficulty of handling the Mind Pulse Generator, he still wants to confront this ill fate.
Because Chen Ming doesn’t know when the Mind Pulse will hit him.
Although the people who lived here for three months didn’t seem affected by the Mind Pulse, Chen Ming can’t be sure if they had specialized protective equipnt.
Moreover, he’s just a step away from leaving this planet, and if sothing goes wrong at the last mont, the consequences are unimaginable.
Chen Ming also worries a bit if the targets of the Mind Pulse are selectable.
Then if he goes, will the Mind Pulse Device directly target him harshly?
Chen Ming is uncertain, but even if it’s as he suspects, he would rather hold the initiative than hope he won’t be affected.
However, Chen Ming thought of another thod.
That is to leave here and hunt further away from the Mind Pulse Generator.
Previously, Chen Ming thought the source of animal frenzy was a virus, presuming that animals everywhere might be infected.
But now, it’s confird that the source of the frenzy is the Mind Pulse Generator.
This ans as long as he’s far enough from the generator, there’s a significant chance he won’t encounter the Mind Pulse, even if not 100% guaranteed.
Yet, if similar Mind Pulse effects exist elsewhere, or even worse, then Chen Ming’s ti wasted here may be even more.
Just as Chen Ming was conflicted.
"Squeak."
Little Stone suddenly made a noise, just like the animals swept by the Mind Pulse before.
But this ti, Chen Ming didn’t need the reminder.
Because at that mont, an overwhelming sense of anxiety suddenly occupied his mind.
The Mind Pulse had indeed affected Chen Ming.
But the effect seed... rather ineffective.
Chen Ming reached up to touch his head, but only felt his helt.
Aside from initially feeling a lot of ssy things stuffed into his mind, he quickly adapted in seconds.
The sudden anxiety wasn’t even as strong as the fatigue he felt when massively transforming and repairing the spacecraft before.
Chen Ming perplexedly recalled the protective suit’s panel he saw last ti.
Although the panel showed several modifications, none seem related to Mind Pulse protection.
Additionally, Chen Ming looked at Little Stone, shivering on his shoulder, exactly as before.
This Mind Pulse seed no different from the last one.
Despite the influence, for Chen Ming, there was good news—the Mind Pulse wouldn’t affect him.
Therefore, Chen Ming didn’t have to worry about leaving the area; he would first check out the coordinates.
Determined, Chen Ming quickly took Little Stone back to the spacecraft.
Though his influence was minimal, Little Stone’s state worried him.
Given the proximity between here and the Mind Pulse Generator compared to the camp.
Also, if both Little Stone and he were affected, could nearby animals also be?
Chen Ming acted quickly; within less than half a minute, the spacecraft was airborne again.
But as he envisioned the worst-case scenario.
Chen Ming soon noticed a group of frenzied animals gathering towards the spacecraft.
These animals were the airborn jellyfish Chen Ming encountered on the first day of landing on Rimu Star.
"Speak of the devil."
"So usually there’s barely a few, but now there’s such a large gathering. How did you all manage that?"
Chen Ming found himself speaking more.
Although these airborne jellyfish might not be the sa batch he encountered before, though he could fly vertically to escape them.
But Chen Ming didn’t want to do that now.
Not to ntion he had specifically modified the Machine Gun to combat them.
Even if unmodified, an unexplainable anger at the jellyfish made him unwilling to spare them.
Moreover, Chen Ming could take this chance to test if his modified Machine Gun could inflict enough damage on these jellyfish swarms.
His emotions were hard to control, but at least his mind was intact.
Weapon testing seed suitable now.
If successful, it ant his modifications were correct.
If failed, he could analyze and improve next ti.
Facing jellyfish ant he could always escape by flying upward.
With so many reasons to attack the jellyfish, Chen Ming wouldn’t miss the chance.
The spacecraft swiftly curved through the air, gradually leading the jellyfish into a large sphere.
With the intent of venting his restless emotions, Chen Ming pulled the trigger.
The dual-barrel Machine Guns’ high fire rate and chain-fed quick ammo supply.
Instantly cleared a large area of jellyfish along the spacecraft’s trajectory.
This scene made the corners of Chen Ming’s mouth curve slightly upward.
He continued firing at the other jellyfish.
As the jellyfish were cleared faster, their chance to encircle the spacecraft dropped to zero.
Chen Ming didn’t even need to activate the Overload Grid to evade.
Just with the two modified Machine Guns, in a short span, he cleared an even larger number of jellyfish than before.
As the anxiety dissipated from Chen Ming’s mind, the jellyfish slowly vanished.
The Mind Pulse passed like that.
Chen Ming ignored the blue gel-like substance layered below the spacecraft, covering a few stone buildings; he did not want to risk another explosion.
He imdiately turned the spacecraft west.
Before heading to the Mind Pulse Generator, Chen Ming planned to return to the temporary camp.
He had left in haste in the morning, forgetting that today was the day to harvest the first batch of berry fruit grown outside the spacecraft.
Returning to harvest, food and a stable food supply were his top priorities; everything else could wait.
