The high-speed assault ship began to slow down as it skimmed over Planet Seven in the Alpha System, and soon after, it came to a complete halt.

The captain of the ship, Lieutenant Commander Gordon, personally called Zhang Tianjiu and asked him and his team members to go to the command room.

The spacecraft stops moving forward in space, and the average person can't feel it without looking at the instruments.

When the Darkflower team arrived at the command room, they found that the assault ship had stopped in the air, quietly suspended in the darkness of space.

Zhang Tianjiu was surprised: "Captain, why did you stop, you are about to arrive at your destination?"

There are only seven planets in the Alpha system.

"Lieutenant Colonel, please take a look outside the cabin, for safety, we can't go any further......"

Lieutenant Colonel Gordon, a young officer in his forties who has a lot of experience in space flight, said to Zhang Tianjiu very seriously.

Hearing this, everyone hurriedly looked out of the cabin.

In fact, the entire assault ship is completely sealed, and the situation outside the cabin is all derived from holograms. It's just that under modern technology, holograms look no different from real images.

It was pitch black outside, and only distant stars could be seen.

Zhang Tianjiu and the others immediately noticed that something was wrong, their faces changed slightly, and they exclaimed, "What about the sun?"

The sun is gone!

The Alpha Galaxy is similar to the Solar System, with several planets orbiting a star. It is customary to refer to the only star of this galaxy as the Sun.

They are now in the Alpha Galaxy, and they are supposed to be able to see the Sun in the Alpha System very clearly in space.

But now, it's pitch black outside.

"The sun is still ...... It's just that it's covered up. ”

This was Captain Gordon's answer.

"Obscured?"

Everyone couldn't help but look at each other, not knowing why.

In a galaxy, there is something that can hide the stars, is it a solar eclipse?

But they didn't see the planets occluding the stars outside the capsule.

Moreover, if it is an ordinary solar eclipse, it should not be a reason for the assault ship to stop advancing.

"Guys, take a look, this is the latest star map of the Alpha System......"

Captain Gordon raised his hand, and a hologram appeared in front of everyone.

In this hologram, the sun in the Alpha galaxy can be clearly seen, obscured by a black fog. Strictly speaking, this black fog fills almost the entire Alpha system.

"Where did all this black fog come from?"

After a moment's pause, Lukka asked uncertainly.

To tell the truth, although it is already the Age of Interstellar Discovery, they have never seen such a situation, and they have never even heard of it.

There is a black fog that can fill the entire galaxy?

Captain Gordon shook his head and said, "According to computer analysis, this is not black fog, this is dark energy......"

"Dark energy?"

Everyone was more and more inexplicable, only Zhang Tianjiu was a little stunned.

"Yes, it's dark energy. I think we're going to have a once-in-a-millennium Kuroshio in the Alpha Galaxy......"

"Kuroshio?"

Everyone only felt that their faces were full of black lines.

"Yes, Kuroshio!"

Captain Gordon nodded firmly, his expression becoming extremely serious.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Alpha Galaxy is a dark galaxy, as everyone should know. Normally, it looks like a normal galaxy, but the dark energy is constantly filling the galaxy. We usually don't notice it because these dark energies have not exploded, and only on the planets can we feel a little bit of dark energy at night. However, this is no longer the case...... Now, the dark energy of the entire galaxy has exploded. ”

"So what?"

Luo Yun couldn't help but ask.

Since being taught by the Iron Arm, Luo Yun has become very silent, and he doesn't say a word except for participating in training on time every day. Judging from his performance, it seems that he has completely agreed with Zhang Tianjiu's authority. But what he really thinks in his heart, only he knows.

"What will happen? To be honest, I don't know how bad it is going to get if I go any further. But now, the dark energy is already interfering with the operation of the warship, and we must now use more than twice the energy to barely keep the warship running. And that's just at the edge of the galaxy, and if you go deeper into the center of the galaxy, close to Planet Three, I'm not sure what the situation will turn out to be in the end. However, at this rate, we simply do not have enough energy to get close to Planet Three. ”

Gordon's face turned ugly.

Although he didn't know exactly what the mission of the Dark Flower Clan's mission was, the order to sail was given by General Sanno Jinshan himself, and there was no doubt that General Shanno took this operation very seriously.

And now, with a high probability that the operation will be abandoned halfway, one can imagine how angry General Sanno will be.

However, the reality is that Captain Gordon can't help it.

"Captain, keep going, we must get to Planet Three on time!"

After a little hesitation, Zhang Tianjiu said firmly.

Kuroshio!

No one else had heard of it, but he knew it well.

There is a record of Kuroshio in the smart computer.

The explosion of dark energy will undoubtedly make the entire galaxy extremely dangerous, and any non-dark warship or creature that ventures into it will be attacked by the dark energy and dark creatures. However, it also means that the "Flower of Darkness" will bloom in the near future.

The prophecy received by Shannuo Jinshan is not groundless.

The High Priest of the House of Sanno is a great prophet!

"Impossible!"

Captain Gordon refused without hesitation.

Although he knew that standing behind Zhang Tianjiu was General Shannuo Jinshan, the brother of Her Majesty the Empress today, and what the consequences would be if he disobeyed General Shannuo's orders, he could not commit suicide.

The ship's computer unmistakably warned him to keep moving forward.

"Lieutenant Colonel Zhang, you must understand that even if we can barely advance to the vicinity of Planet Three, without any accidents in between, we will run out of energy. Whatever mission you want to accomplish, you will be trapped on Planet Three and never have a chance to leave. So, I beg your pardon for not being able to complete this task!"

Gordon said solemnly.

"Captain, this is a task personally given by General Shanno. ”

Shao Ying, who had been silent, interjected, and her voice was very calm.

Gordon's face turned slightly pale, then he became very firm again, and said slowly: "I know. But I don't think General Sanno expected this to happen. If he knew, he would have canceled the mission. I believe that the general will not let everyone go to death. ”

Shao Ying's eyebrows raised slightly, and he said coldly: "Captain, do you think you can make decisions on behalf of General Shannuo? If I were you, I would contact the general immediately." This task can only be revoked by the general. Change the general's orders at will, and you will face a court-martial!"

Shao Ying's words were hard, without the slightest warmth.

Zhang Tianjiu watched coldly, and affirmed his judgment more and more in his heart. This twenty-eight-year-old woman who was born in a family of ancient martial arts and had no experience in special forces was able to be assigned to his team by Shannuo Jinshan, there is no doubt that there is a very special reason.

This woman is the most trusted person in Shannuo Jinshan, she was actually sent to supervise Zhang Tianjiu and ensure the execution of the task.

Speak so hard.

A flash of anger flashed across Lieutenant Colonel Gordon's face.

Although his rank is not high, the fact that he can command the latest high-speed assault ships is very revealing in itself. The captain of a high-speed assault ship of the special operations forces is not inferior to the captain of a super-battleship of ordinary troops.

However, Lieutenant Colonel Gordon quickly controlled his anger, in the Chuck Empire, no matter how high your status and how hard your backers are, it is very unwise to offend General Shan.

Lieutenant Colonel Gordon spread his hands helplessly and said, "Madam, I also want to report to General Shanno, but due to the influence of the Kuroshio, we are no longer able to communicate with the super galaxy. The signals we send cannot pass through the subspace channel. ”

Shao Ying glared at him coldly and did not speak again. But the meaning is clear - you must carry out the order, even if it is to death!

"Captain, get ready for the landing craft. ”

Zhang Tianjiu said crisply.

Gordon was taken aback and exclaimed, "Lieutenant Colonel, are you crazy? Now that we have just entered the outermost edge of the galaxy, we are still far away from Planet Three, and it is impossible for the landing craft to fly that far...... What's more, there is also an explosion of dark energy, which will double the energy of the landing craft!"

"In this case, before you get to Planet Four, you will become space wanderers because you run out of energy. Lieutenant Colonel, you should know, what does this mean!"

Zhang Tianjiu nodded and said, "I know." Therefore, the landing craft had to be modified to keep only five people in place, and the rest of the space was emptied for loading energy blocks. I think it's four times as much energy as enough for us to get to Planet Three. ”

Gordon silently calculated in his heart, bowed his head with an ugly face, and said, "If this is the case, there will be no accidents in the middle, and it is indeed barely enough...... But Lieutenant Colonel, how are you going to return? As far as I know, this kind of Kuroshio will last for at least several years after it breaks out. Are you going to spend a few more years on Planet Three?"

Staying on a planet infested with dark creatures for years is insane.

"You should know that in this case, the warship will not risk staying in the Alpha system. Immediately after the launch of the landing craft, the warship will retreat to a safe area and wait. Therefore, it is difficult for us to give you timely assistance. ”

"Don't we still have a mining base on Planet Three? After we complete the mission, we can replenish the energy in the mining base and return home safely. ”

Zhang Tianjiu said confidently.

Unexpectedly, Gordon's face became even more ugly, and after a while, he lowered his voice and said, "Lieutenant Colonel, I have to tell you that we have lost contact with the mining base...... About three hours ago, we lost contact with the mining site......"
