The dock area has arrived, and the huge area that was once empty has now become a pattern of cobweb caves.

Layers of networks are forming in a huge cylindrical space, like a criss-crossed stretched crossing.

There are no lights here, but there is a self-luminescent thing in the monster's lair substance, which emits a ghostly light, and combined with the inner packaging style that resembles the inside of the stomach, the bloody and eerie atmosphere of the whole area is even stronger.

It's a pity that Xu Changqing couldn't see the existence of such things as the mother nest and the strange master here who can get into the soul and solve the problem.

How the monster's system works remains to be determined by further observation.

Through Xu Changqing's signal transmitter positioning, the Velvet has confirmed that he has arrived at the dock area.

So the ship came back from space, and the hidden fire arrangement was all turned on, destroying two large biological light cannons that had just taken shape, breaking the spider web-like interceptions, and completing the emergency docking.

Xu Changqing and his entourage quickly boarded the ship, and the Velvet continued to sabotage while adjusting its direction, and then broke through the air.

"Eros has no ships to escape?" After sitting in the captain's seat, Xu Changqing asked.

The first mate said: "Yes, a total of fourteen large and small ships escaped, and we helped us in the process. ”

Xu Changqing nodded.

Thirty kilometers after the Velvet left Eros, the communication signal gradually recovered.

A strong bioelectromagnetic force field constitutes a signal shielding effect. Eros is like a stone bag, only the Xinggang District can send signals to the outside world, and the mouth is blocked, which is indeed a turtle in an urn.

Shortly after the signal was restored, it was revealed that six space stations, including Eros, had been attacked by monsters. The pattern is all the same, the ship enters the port, then it explodes, and the infection begins.

The source of the ships has also been basically investigated, and the common denominator is the last stop on Europa.

Today, Europa's ships have been denied access to the space stations.

But this is useless, Europa is the largest grain producer in the asteroid belt, Europa has a headache and brain fever, and the economic order of the asteroid belt will fluctuate, and the impact of this kind of thing is unpredictable.

The Federation has made a vigorous move this time, and the battleships are already on the way, leveling the space stations without any hesitation.

Mass protest marches are taking place or are about to take place on the space stations in the asteroid belt.

However, this time the federal government was particularly tough, and the president immediately issued a red martial law and authorized it to the administrative departments of each space station, and those who took the lead in making trouble could be classified as rebels and shot on the spot.

This is unprecedented harshness, and the Federation almost said directly to the people in the asteroid belt: If you dare to make trouble, you will be killed!

The Federation's malicious asteroid belt people naturally felt it fully.

Therefore, Xu Changqing soon saw the new political slogan of the people in the asteroid belt from the latest news reports of the asteroid belt:

Fellow citizens, the Federalists have completely torn off their cloak of hypocrisy, and instead of rescuing, they engage in extermination.

If good chooses silence, then evil triumphs. Compatriots, down with the cruel rule of the Federation, the asteroid belt belongs to us asteroids, let us save those compatriots who are in deep danger!

Xu Changqing said in his heart: "What else will be, the evil has already won." ”

He contacted the detachments.

Earth, Mars, the Friendship Space Station, Jupiter's Circle, Saturn's Circle, Triton, and then there's the Asteroid Belt.

The detachment of the asteroid belt is near Ceres, because Ella? Olivier is there, and Kyushu Industries' headquarters are there.

Along with the Oberon, he now had so many ships in his possession, and he would not be replenished for a long time.

The next batch of ships will arrive in Titan in almost 45 days, but it is an engineering ship, and the production capacity of Bobos is like this, and there will be no large-scale production increase in the past year, which has been basically qualitative since he designed the ship-building plan earlier.

After thinking about it, he ordered: "Go to St. Michael." ”

The ship shifted its direction and headed at full speed toward the St. Michael's space station.

Gandhi, Vondi, Mansour, those who are still in power in the Covenant are still those people, but now they can only hide in their offices, deeply aware of their own powerlessness.

At such a critical moment, the Star Alliance is like a joke, and its control over the joining groups under its command is infinitely close to zero.

To be honest, this made the three of them feel very lost, they really couldn't figure out what kind of group of pig teammates this was, they couldn't work together at this time to face the Federation with a unified image, and the result could only be divided and conquered.

"What a foolish act to choose to expel the Federation and become independent at this time!" Mansur looked frustrated, he was the Covenant's purse, and he knew very well how much money the asteroid belt had lost in the past few hours, and how much money it would lose in the future.

"Perhaps their respective control of the space station is far less optimistic than we thought." Feng Di said and asked Gandhi, "What about the mystery man?" Have you been contacted? ”

The mysterious person is Xu Changqing.

Gandhi's later limited technology purchases were actually supported by Von Di and Mansour.

The so-called each does its own thing, but it is just for Xu Changqing to see. Mainly because they don't want to put too much money on technology.

Now, of course, they regret it. Today's best risk-averse investment is to turn all your money into technology. However, the opportunity has been missed, Xu Changqing is not an on-call takeaway.

"Nope." Gandhi was also a little frustrated: "Since the deal was closed, there has been no contact. ”

Xu Changqing's last deal with Gandhi was after rescuing Ella and exposing energy life in public.

Before leaving for Scaleus, the Oberon traded the captured pirate ships and spacecraft, as well as the last few pieces of technology, to him.

Today, the former Federation destroyer has been overhauled, and along with the earlier purchase of the Rock Jumper, St. Michael has two quasi-battleships and sixteen combat boats, which have basically met the needs of defending itself.

Of course, if you insist on counting combat power, armed merchant ships can still fight.

Like the channel patrol ship of the Alpha space station, it is actually an armed merchant ship level, which can be regarded as the top configuration.

Not long ago, Gandhi had ordered to go down and blockade St. Michael, and any visiting ship must be strictly inspected, not on the space station, but in the space outside the station.

He also received a notice from the church asking to expedite the final construction of the new ark. Obviously, there are already people who can't wait to leave this solar system. They may feel that the birth of the New Ark itself was God's act of guiding them to preserve the fire for mankind.

Xu Changqing also thought of this. Of course, he didn't believe in God, but felt that the New Ark did have the qualifications to become the spark of civilization. At this moment, it is indeed a trick.

Because of this, he didn't want this move to be ruined or used prematurely.

It turned out to be the right thing.

While the Velvet was waiting for the port inspection, an armed transport ship suddenly launched a strike on the destroyer Rock Jumper, which was boarding for inspection.

The Rock Jumper had no idea that the transport, armed with a second weapon control system, was fired at close range by rapid-fire guns, smashed into a sieve, and detonated a space torpedo.

The torpedo explosion completely destroyed the Rock Hopper, but the fragments from the explosion also injured the armed transport.

This is where the armed transport ship is unusual, and even though the damage is not light, it can still perform a series of tactical maneuvers, and after firing all four space torpedoes at the New Ark, it resolutely rushes towards St. Michael.

Against this backdrop, the Velvet launched interceptor missiles, as well as EMP missiles, before the San Michael space station could react.

The former, like a school of piranhas, relied on a large number of them, and took turns biting, and finally stopped four space torpedoes. The latter also caused the armed transport ship to lose its acceleration, the thrusters were stalled, and it could only rely on inertia to advance towards St. Michael, and was blown to pieces by the oncoming combat boat with a space torpedo.

On behalf of the St. Michael's space station, Gandhi asked Xu Changqing and his entourage about the true origin, and Xu Changqing said that it was a light cruiser that replaced the Velvet and actually belonged to Kyushu Industrial.

Xu Changqing also advised Gandhi to immediately release the situation and ask the space stations to be careful of such suicide attacks.

In his opinion, the enemy apparently hijacked a space ship and then armed it into a suicide ship.

In the first sequence, they hijacked the ships from Europa, and in order to avoid suspicion, they could not let the hijacked ships be delayed for too long, so they only managed to make up enough six ships to launch a surprise attack.

The one who launched the raid just now should be considered the first sequence, and it was newly captured by them.

Gandhi felt that it made sense, so he laughed at the analysis and sent it over a wide area with the help of St. Michael's equipment.

He also advised those ships that are still out of the country to pay attention to the approach of ships under various guises, whether it is from the Republic or the Federation for emergency inspections, or for help, it is not safe, and it is best to maintain uninterrupted communication and navigation, so that if communication is interrupted at a critical moment, at least let others know that the ship is in trouble.

The timely announcement of the St. Michael's space station did make a difference, as an armed merchant ship attempting to raid the Alpha space station was discovered and destroyed, so that two other ships were found to be abnormal due to communication problems.

Almost immediately after, the Federation warships used nuclear strikes on six space stations.

As a result, these space stations attacked by nuclear bombs are like hermit crabs with their shells shattered, and when they are shattered on the outside, they reveal a huge whole inside.

It turns out that this is not because the shell is strong, but because the monster has the ability to absorb energy.

After the Federation battleship failed to hit a single blow, it launched a nuclear bomb again, and this time it was more clear to see, after the explosion, the energy formed an energy wave on the monster's body and spread, like an overheated asbestos, but the speed was fast.

There is no superfluous medium in space to conduct the shock wave of the nuclear explosion, and the explosion effect is more simplified, which becomes an important prerequisite for being able to clearly see the process of absorbing energy by the monster.

After absorbing the energy, the sarcoma-like monster further transformed, gradually taking on the shape of strange insects, some like cockroaches, others like dung beetles, with no legs or tentacles, but a hard shell, and a clear head and tail.

This frightened the human race, and even many people who were parading around the space stations were terrified. After all, many people can see that this is a creature, and creatures can move, so this kind of xenomorphic creature that is not even afraid of nuclear bombs, if it insists on playing face fighting, how to deal with it?

Now no one cares about the lives of the people in the original space station that have become giant insects, and their own lives will soon be threatened.

Especially Eros, after the outer rock shell was blown apart, the monster body inside was like a balloon blown up, rapidly expanding and expanding.

The Federation warship in charge of the strike panicked a little and fired three more nuclear bombs in succession.

It did cause some damage, specifically a large hole, but it was quickly repaired, and then it became even larger, and now it has surpassed the size of Pluto!

This freaks a lot of people out, after all, it represents an extremely efficient mass conversion. Obtain energy, convert it into matter, and form such a huge living object, which can be called a planet-level biological ship, such a life vitality, and reach the ceiling of human imagination......
