Chapter 79
Shang Si finally decided to set aside the opposing fleet and leave them in the rear in the name of reserves for the time being. In this regard, Zheng Duan did not raise any objections, but only put forward a request to come over to visit the Comet, and Shang Si agreed.
Shortly after arranging the FBI, the mech team aboard the Comet returned home. They had been consumed a lot in the battle just now, and if they wanted to continue the battle, they would need to return to the Comet to replenish their energy and ammo.
At this time, a small ship from the investigation team was heading towards the Comet.
Zheng Duan was sitting on the ship, and he was observing the fleet in Anxing Province through the reconnaissance instruments of the Guò spaceship.
The equipment of this fleet is not bad, and it can be scored to the middle and upper level.
Zheng Duan thought.
In fact, this evaluation can be improved. Zheng Duan has always served in the Central Army, and compared with the elite troops of the Central Army, the equipment of this fleet in Anxing Province is several levels inferior. It is normal for Zheng Duan to underestimate the other party.
He observed for a moment, but the focus was not on the fleet's attack power, which he didn't care about, but on a statement he had heard.
It is said that the fleet of Anxing Province, whether it is warships or weapons, was purchased under the auspices of their consuls. Anxing Province is a notoriously poor province, and its fiscal revenue is miserable, and it is impossible for that Archon Monica to rely on the income of Anxing Province for the money to buy equipment. So, where does her money come from?
Zheng Duan thought of this, and a fine light flashed in his eyes.
When Anxing Province was still the Duchy of Anxing, the chief consul's family was royalty. The accumulation of so many generations, combined with the profits generated by the UGA-106 ore in that year, was enough for the royal family to save a fortune.
It seems that this wealth should now be passed on to the consul of An Sing Province.
Although there is no basis and it is just a conjecture out of thin air, the more Zheng Duan thinks about it, the more he feels that his speculation is correct. And thinking of such a large amount of wealth, Zheng Duan's face was silent, but several thoughts turned in his heart. It's just that now he is still hesitating and can't make a decision for a while.
The spacecraft is getting closer to the Comet's position, and the ship's detection instruments can already show details of the Comet's hull.
At this time, Zheng Duan stood up suddenly.
A mecha that was familiar to him just flashed across the screen.
Zheng Duan inputs instructions to the optical brain to magnify the picture taken by the detection instrument. In the end, he clearly saw that it was not him who was dazzled just now, but the mecha, which was the Polaris!
Zheng Duan's love instantly churned.
He knew that Xiao Yi had written down the situation in Anxing Province and submitted it to the parliament, and the others should be in Anxing Province. But Zheng Duan didn't expect that he would see him here!
The feelings of jealousy and resentment were accumulating, gnawing at Zheng Duan's heart little by little.
Since he saw Xiao Yi here, is this God helping him make a decision?
Zheng Duan sneered and ordered to return.
……
Receiving the news that the spacecraft returned □□ the investigation, Shang Si was a little baffled. It's weird to suddenly say that there's something to go back to.
If something goes wrong, it will be a demon. But Shang Si didn't know what the other party had now, and he didn't have any evidence in his hand, so it was impossible to rely on intuition to attack the other party first. Therefore, Shang Si could only dispatch a reconnaissance boat to let the people below pay more attention to the movements of the investigation team and report to him if there was anything wrong.
At this time, the news of Xiao Yi's return made Shang Si's heart move.
He couldn't figure out the conspiracy of these politicians, but Xiao Yi had been in the power center of the Shengyue Federation for many years, so he should be able to analyze the current situation.
So Shang Si came to the conference room.
Xiao Yi, who got the notice, went directly to Shang Si after getting off the mecha.
"The Shengyue Federation has formed an investigation team, and the person in charge is General Zheng Duan." Shang Si said.
Xiao Yi, who was sitting opposite him, heard the news and sighed: "It seems that the news I reported did not attract enough attention from the Shengyue Council, otherwise I would not have sent only one investigation team over, and it was Zheng Duan who led the team." ”
"The council doesn't believe it?" Shang Si asked.
"There should still be a few parliamentarians who believe, otherwise there wouldn't even be an investigation team." Xiao Yi replied, "But that's all. Zheng Duan is a person who still has some ability to fight in turns, but he has too many crooked thoughts. From what I know about him, he will never take this investigation to heart. ”
Shang Si had also met Zheng Duan, and after just a few words of conversation, this person left a very bad impression on him. It's hard to believe that such a person will investigate well. And Monica is not a simple person, no one can be sure what will happen after the two meet.
"They're harmless now?" Shang Si made a guess.
Xiao Yi nodded. "Now they don't have to fight us. Yiqiē should wait until Zheng Duan has met Monica before he makes a decision. ”
After analyzing these situations, Shang Si got up to leave the conference room. After the team has rested, he will also command the fleet to attack the hive.
He walked straight to the door, and Xiao Yi also planned to leave together. But at this time, a golden ball fell from Shang Si's pocket, but Shang Si didn't notice it.
Xiao Yi picked up the small ball that rolled to his feet and put it in front of him.
Gold leaf, balls, and sweet cocoa butter.
Chocolate balls?
Because something has been happening recently, he hasn't bought sweets in a long time.
"Captain," Xiao Yi shouted, "I've got this chocolate ball!" ”
Shang Si still wondered what kind of chocolate ball, but as soon as he turned around, he saw Xiao Yi stuffing something into his mouth and eating it with a click.
Shangsi: ......
He wasn't even sure if he could eat it!
Seeing Xiao Yi just eat like this, he couldn't let him spit it out. Xiao Yi can't be blamed for this, this thing looks like a chocolate ball, it smells like a chocolate ball, and most people will default to it being a chocolate ball.
And the most important thing is that Xiao Yi saw this thing fall out of his pocket with his own eyes, and Xiao Yi will of course default to this thing that there is nothing wrong with it. After all, Shang Si is not a pervert and will poison his own food.
Seeing that Xiao Yi had eaten the chocolate ball, Shang Si hurriedly called up the system in his mind to find out what the chocolate ball was for. If it was really poisonous, then he could only drag Xiao Yi to find Bowen to wash his stomach.
And this inquiry, he got a good news and a bad news.
The good news is that this chocolate ball-like thing is really a chocolate ball, and it's not poisonous. It's just that where the chocolate ball should have been packed with hazelnut kernels, the system stuffed him with a bunch of biological machines.
After entering the human body, this kind of machine qì human will reproduce on its own, and when it grows to a certain extent, it will automatically form a high-strength protective shield around it when the host is seriously injured. And this shield also carries a certain intelligence, which will protect the safety of the host. In addition, if the host is seriously injured, temporary medical care can also be provided.
This is simply a talisman artifact on the battlefield, and this artifact only consumes the light energy in the universe. As long as they are not in absolute darkness, even if the person inside the protective shield is injured or enters the universe without protection, as long as the protective shield does not break, the person cannot die.
And the bad news is that such an artifact was eaten by Xiao Yi at will. After eating, I don't like the bad taste.
"How long have you been leaving this chocolate ball in, the taste in it is wrong, is it broken?" Xiao Yi said disgustedly.
Shangsi: ......
……
In fact, Shang Si didn't have much thought about Xiao Yi eating that chocolate ball, even if this kind of thing was wanted by many high-ranking officials and politicians, but it didn't include Shang Si.
Since he joined the army, he has the consciousness that he will die in the universe. For him, life and death are things that must be experienced in life, and there is no need to be afraid. A short life can also be a wonderful life, and a long life can also be unfortunate.
So even if the chocolate ball given to him by the system was not eaten by Xiao Yi, he wouldn't use it.
And it's not bad for Xiao Yi to eat it, after all, he is a mecha pilot, and he is much more dangerous than himself on the battleship, and with this layer of protection, maybe he can save his life one day. People like him should not disappear into the universe.
Shang Si opened the door and prepared to return to the command room. And at this time, the alarm sounded inside the Comet, and the battleship was automatically counted in combat status.
Shang Si quickly ran towards the Comet command room.
As soon as he entered the door of the command room, the correspondent immediately ran to Shang Si's side to report.
"The Investigative Mission's fleet suddenly attacked our fleet."
Shang Si walked quickly to the command seat and ordered: "The whole fleet is ready for combat readiness...... Did the team send a message? ”
"Nope." The correspondent reported, "They went straight on the offensive. ”
Obviously, the other party had no reason to attack, but they did it anyway. Shang Si couldn't figure out the other party's purpose for doing this for a while.
Shang Si: "Contact the capital star of Anxing Province." Report the situation to the Archon. ”
"Yes!" The correspondent hurried back to his place.
"Report!"
After a while, the communicator's voice sounded again.
Shang Si: "Say." ”
Correspondent: "The fleet's communications are blocked, and it is impossible to contact the provincial capital!" ”
When Shang Si heard the news, the coldness on his face became a little more.
Is this an attempt to eliminate them quietly?
It's too easy to think about things!
Shang Si walked to the command seat with a cold face and observed the battlefield through the radar image.
The FBI did not enter the interior of their fleet in the first place, and is now attacking the rear of the fleet. Most of the warships in Shangs's fleet were carrying out the task of encircling the hive, and although his total strength was more than that of the investigation team, due to their dispersion, the number of fleets of the investigation team was less than that of the investigation team in some areas.
"Order the Fourth Fleet to meet the local fleet." Shang Si ordered.
The Fourth Fleet, as a reserve, did not fight against the Zerg just now, and its strength was very well preserved. Originally, Shang Si planned to use this fleet as the main attack mother worm fleet, but now it is obvious that he has to change his plan.
The addition of the Fourth Fleet stabilized the battle, and after the panic of the surprise attack, the other warships in the direction of the survey team also adjusted and began to attack in an organized manner.
