Several hours had passed, and Wu Yanqing's experimental island was heavily surrounded.
Massive alloy electromagnetic light columns stood erect on the nearby sea, engulfing the entire island with an energy barrier.
A large number of floating combat flying devices encircled the island, sealing it off completely from sea, land, and air.
The personnel shuttling about the island, all wore black advanced combat armor, with conduits and wires hidden in the armor's crevices, various indicator lights flashing, and a pale golden crescent emblem on the chest, creating a frigid aura.
Holding firearms, they methodically searched every corner, with the ground covered in bodies draped with white cloths.
Emergency response teams rushed to the scene and continuously scanned with various sophisticated instruments.
On the widest open space, a temporary combat command center had been erected, consisting of several large metal cabins stacked together.
