The dense white fog was so thick that visibility was reduced to mere inches, and teammates, back to back, would become mere shadows if they took a step away, and would vanish completely if they took two.
In the white fog, there were occasional soul-shattering dragon roars, the buzzing of shields activating and shattering, screams, the sound of bones cracking, and flesh tearing that never ceased.
In an environment where nothing could be seen, accompanied by such eerie background noise and communication channels filled with calls for help and screams, even the elite warriors of the Harkonnen could not stave off the fear rising in their hearts.
The white fog itself seemed to magnify the fear, spreading rapidly through the mind once it took hold, like ignited straw...
Heavy breaths continuously brought forth white mist within the transparent visors, as disoriented soldiers wandered aimlessly in the fog.
A leaping, hopping dark shadow emerged in the white fog ahead. Approaching it slowly, they discovered it was a ghastly figure with a pale face and sharp fangs.@@@@

At that moment, its hand had just been withdrawn from the chest of a comrade, clutching a bloody heart.
Blood water trailed down its wrist and dripped to the ground.
"Ah!"
The screaming soldier had completely forgotten to fight back, his face twisted in terror, but the moment he prepared to turn and run, a claw had already gripped the transparent helmet from behind.
The relatively slow speed did not trigger the Holzman Shield.
The raw brute strength slowly turned his face, allowing him to see the ferocious zombie face behind him, before it sank its teeth in...

[Holzman Shield (Individual) (Damaged)]: Allows an individual to deploy a Holzman Shield (without world enhancement). Provides good defense against high-velocity kinetic attacks. The shield becomes damaged if breached.
In a damaged state, it can absorb a hundred Yuan Force.
"A shield that becomes damaged on breach? Tsk, but it’s still valuable. It’s just that it would be better to make them surrender. Otherwise, there’s no profit in the broken ones, and killing them slowly is too time-consuming," Tao Yu quickly pondered.
Even with all the limitations, if there is enough quantity, the shields could certainly be worth a lot!
After launching several more dragons to turn a few shields red and kill the soldiers inside, Tao Yu’s gaze flickered as he rapidly contemplated.
He never expected that the Harkonnen Family, whom RDA so easily held off with the help of the Sand Hidden Village, would actually have such valuable loot!
The description of the shield suggested that in their own world, the defense of a Holzman Shield would be much stronger!
At first hearing, Tao Yu felt they were like the Starship Troopers, a subpar civilization with star technology possibly sourced from various peculiar places.
But now, having arrived on the scene, he found numerous ’surprises’!
Sure, they were weak; in such dense fog, the RDA’s power armors came equipped with sensory modules and detection modules, but they did not have such gear, making him feel as if he were moving in uninhabited terrain.
It seemed they had no concept of automated or autonomous weapons, and their firearms felt odd. Strangely, each person was equipped with melee weapons.
Yet, paradoxically, they had these protective force fields...
Actually, these protective field modules were also available in Starshine City, but they were part of the mechanical upgrades, usually reserved for advanced partner platforms.
Thanks to Wang Goudan, Tao Yu was quite clear on this, as Wang Goudan’s goal for a new platform could accommodate such subsystems. A defensive force field subsystem might only cost around a hundred thousand, but it requires high power and performance from the platform, which is why it was beyond the reach of an average partner.
