(18,000 words in this chapter!) Dedicated to the single Wang, I wish to get rid of the single as soon as possible! ）

By the time the construction and transport fleets of the ground base finally rose and retreated to an altitude of more than 20,000 meters above the planet JNO.3, on the ground, the missile launch towers, machine gun fortresses, and the tank units that were automatically controlled by intelligent programs had gradually stopped attacking.

Because, those boundless, flying and crawling swarms have completely submerged the buildings abandoned by the humans of the Ground Base Hope when they fled for their lives!

If you look down at the ground from the Xuan window above the sky, there is nothing left except for the billowing black smoke and dense insects that have long crowded the entire island......

Although the insects crawling on the ground on their legs or bodies were helpless to gradually fly up to the human building complex and other retreating troops at an altitude of more than 30,000 meters, those flying dragon-like bugs still forgot to die and flew up unrelentingly.

In addition to these bugs, there seems to be a huge, balloon-like monster bug that can fly in the sky?

Not only are they numerous, but they are also unusually large, even larger than human armored transport ships! The other person's back, which looks bulging and swollen, seems to be filled with some kind of gas?

Then, their huge bodies, like giant hydrogen balloons, were floating up in the direction of the human convoy.

What reassures the retreating humans is that they seem to be rising by the buoyancy of the air?

So, with their massive bodies and clumsy speed, even if they still don't give up on converging towards the retreating human sky, maybe they will never want to catch up with the human forces, right?!

Compared to these clumsy and disgusting monsters, those flying dragon bugs that are attacking are even more deadly!

Fortunately, these wyvern bugs, their speed, when they are at high altitude, is slightly slower than the speed of the human retreat, when they attack from below, spray those poison sacs upward, which is severely restricted by the gravity of the planet, and can only be shot in vain by human fighters or spaceships, aircraft guns on buildings, and vigilant cannons.

Occasionally, a few fish that swooped up and slipped through the net could not have much impact in the huge human team.

"It's all over......"

Doug frowned and sat silently in her own commander's seat.

Now, what makes her feel very puzzled: those bugs, they still have the ability to fly into space?

At this moment, in addition to some flying insects, who are still relentlessly pursuing their special fleet composed of various flying buildings, there are also some who are actually besieging and pursuing them in front, and the Hope colony spaceship that was supposed to stay in synchronous orbit?

How is this possible? How did the bugs do it?

Aren't they aerodynamic to flap their wings? How can you survive in a cosmic vacuum? Can you still fly that fast? What is it about their breath, their power?

It's not scientific at all!

Originally, Doug thought that as long as they humans ran into the universe, those bugs would no longer be able to help themselves! But now, the Hope, which was fleeing ahead, gave her a blow in the face!

"How? Did you manage to get in touch with Hope? ”

With a somewhat anxious tone, Doug asked a communications officer eagerly.

The Hope colony ship ahead is significantly faster than the few surviving Wraith fighters that they are made up of flying buildings and transport ships!

Therefore, they can only watch as the Hope flies farther and farther away in the entangled battle with a group of bugs, while they can only follow each other slowly, and they can't help even if they want to.

Fortunately, the Hope did not enter the warp sailing, or directly jumped away, otherwise, they would probably become homeless lonely ghosts?

"Report to the Commander! Although we have received some fragmentary information, we are still unable to contact the bridge of the Hope at this time, so we ......"

After reconfirming all the signals in his holographic interface, a communications officer could only smile wryly and shake his head at Doug.

Now, no one knows what happened to the Hope, how the hull was damaged and the casualties were and so on!

At this time, they were still strongly disturbed, and with only optical instruments, they could only see the back of the Hope in the distance.

Their homeland colony ship, the Hope, its huge and bloated hull, was constantly besieged by thousands of wyvern bugs, and around it, in addition to the turrets and missile launchers on the hull constantly fighting back, there were only a few Wraith fighters, resisting in vain, and from time to time they were destroyed by a huge number of insect swarms, turning into tattered metal floating coffins floating in the universe......

"Damn !!"

After spitting, Doug slammed his fist into the armrest of his seat.

Now, between them humans and insects, they are in a strange state:

At the foreground is the human Hope spacecraft, which is moving at full speed towards the orbit outside the galaxy in order to get rid of the bugs, but its huge hull makes it impossible for its speed to accelerate in a short period of time.

Surrounding or behind the Hope are thousands of Wyvern bugs, desperately attacking or being attacked by the Hope!

Behind the bugs, the flying structures of the ground base formed Commander Doug's alternative fleet, and they followed slowly but surely at a slightly slower speed than the Hope.

In the end, behind Doug's team were the countless swarms of Wyverns, the number of which seemed to be dense, even if it was counted less, at least in the tens of millions?

However, fortunately, after the bugs began to enter the universe, after Doug's building gradually broke away from the scope of the planet's gravity, the speed gradually increased, and the swarm behind them was dangerously left far away, temporarily in a strange static equilibrium, in this case, no one can help anyone!

"Commander! There's an unfamiliar communication requesting a connection, do you want to get through? ”

Suddenly, in the command hall, a communications officer who was trying to contact the Hope screamed in surprise.

Because, she found out that there was a communication request for an identification code that she didn't know? The other party's channel still seems to belong to humans?

But...... She didn't have any identification code for the other party, so she couldn't know the real identity of the other party.

"Get it right in!"

Where does Doug care if the other party is strange, or familiar?

Now, she has been unable to contact the Hope, and she has long been anxious.

Therefore, after ordering the communications officer to connect, she hurriedly walked behind the other party, she wanted to see who the strange communication that this request received was who? Why at this time?

Or could it be the Hope that has lost contact and enabled a different emergency contact method?

"Haha! Commander Doug? Nice to see you! ”

"This is Captain Planck! Oh no! Lao Tzu is now the captain of the No. 1 battlecruiser! Excuse me, what's going on over there? Why can't I get in touch with Hope?! ”

Uncle Planck, who was originally only the captain of the armored transport ship YS001, was promoted not long ago after the five heavy battlecruisers of the Hope were completed and launched on schedule, and in one fell swoop he became the captain of the No. 1 battlecruiser and the temporary fleet commander of the battleship fleet.

Not long ago, he was instructed to lead a large group of recruits deployed to five battleships on a long-distance deep-space training exercise.

Then, this morning, they were able to complete all the scheduled training programs and start their homecoming.

It wasn't until a short time ago that they were about to leave Starport to return to Hope's orbit after repairing and resupplying at Base 2, when they suddenly found that they couldn't contact Hope no matter what?

After several failed attempts to contact him, he had no choice but to try to contact the command center at Planetary Ground Base Jno.3 after discussing it with the commander of Base 2 for a while.

It's a pity that I don't know what is going on in this star field, the communication has been greatly disturbed, and after many efforts, I know that now, they have finally succeeded in contacting the command center of Base 1, which is chasing the Hope and fleeing for their lives at the same time.

Planck...... It's you? ”

"Great! Can your battleships fight now? Hurry up! The Hope needs support! The situation is urgent! Please come and support! ”

After seeing that the person on the other side turned out to be Planck, and she heard the other party talk about the No. 1 battlecruiser, Doug reacted, it seems that those battleships that were launched a while ago were the same old drunkard as the captain and temporary commander?

Then, after realizing that the other party had five powerful battlecruisers there, she hurriedly asked loudly and urgently, and at the same time asked the other party to hurry up and use the fastest speed to rescue the Hope colonial spaceship that was being chased and intercepted by a small group of wyvern bugs!

After all, the Hope is the foundation of these human beings, and before they find a planet suitable for human survival, once there is a problem with this huge colonial starship, she Doug can't imagine what kind of tragic fate awaits them at that time.

"Huh? Good, good! Please send us the coordinates now! Now, we'll be able to jump over it soon! ”

Seeing that Doug on the other side turned out to be such a flustered expression, Planck took a moment before he came back to his senses.

Then, he shuddered, and hurriedly said to Doug while putting away the bottle that had been unscrewed and was about to take two sips.

At the same time, he was also hurriedly explaining some tasks to some of the crew members next to him.

"Quick! Send them coordinates right away! ”

Ignoring nothing else, Doug grimaced and quickly turned his head to the communications officer and ordered.

"Planck! You must hurry up and save the Hope! Please! ”

After seeing the communications officer hurriedly complete his orders, Doug pleaded with Planck across the holographic screen in a semi-pleading tone.

"Don't worry, Commander Doug, I know the severity of the matter!"

After saying that, without caring about closing the communication, Planck turned around and walked directly to the other side.

“……”

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Under the expectant and surprised gaze of Commander Doug, not far in front of the Hope, there were bursts of spatial twists and turns.

Then, just a short time later, five huge heavy battlecruisers instantly spun around and appeared not far in front of the direction of the Hope's escape.

These five hideous human ultimate war weapons formed a huge circle around them, just in the direction of the Hope's withdrawal.

"Haha! Lads! Show those abominable bugs how good our battleships are! ”

"Attention to all attack positions! Listen to me! Preparation...... Fire!!! ”

Only three to five seconds had passed after the five heavy battlecruisers had made the leap, and when the Hope had slipped through the large circle they had reserved, they covered their heavy battlecruisers, and under the orders of Captain Planck and Commander of the Provisional Fleet, they poured out their dense and terrifying attacks on the swarms that were following the Hope and were in shock at the sudden appearance of the human battleship......

Countless shells of large and small caliber electromagnetic guns, or missile firing arrays of air defense, as well as laser artillery groups of various models, began to fire violently as if they did not want money!

In an instant, the five battle cruisers were like hedgehogs that only emitted nowhere light thorns, and the terrifying artillery fire instantly drowned the small group of thousands of wyvern insects in the strong light generated by the attack.

“……”

Is this the end?

Looking at the terrifying salvo in front of her, Doug was suddenly a little stunned, this was the first time she had really seen the terrifying power of the battle cruiser!

It's a pity that this is in the universe, in a vacuum, sound can't be transmitted, so Doug and the others, who are not far behind the Hope, can only see from the five battleships, behind countless light curtains, those thousands of dragon swarms, have disappeared in the electromagnetic metal projectiles, missile explosions, or strong light energy......

"Great!!"

The faster the battle comes, the faster it ends!

When they saw that the Hope, on which they currently depend for human survival, was finally successfully rescued by the timely rescue of five powerful battleships, in addition to excitement, Doug's eyes began to glow with a rare tear.

Now that the threat to Hope is clear, all that's left is how to get rid of the larger number of swarms that follow them, right?

Thinking of this, Doug couldn't help but worry again.

With such a large number of swarms, even if it is five battleships, why can't they help them? If it was really a forced battle, maybe five precious battleships could be drowned here by the sea of worms?

"Commander Doug, you first retreat in the direction of Base 2 with the Hope! Now, let's chase away the scumbags that are following you! ”

After dealing with the threat of the Hope in a few clicks, Planck quickly turned around and reappeared in Doug's holographic communication interface.

Planck is now very proud, very proud!

In his fleet, under the full firepower of these powerful heavy battlecruisers, those eight thousand Wyvern bugs could not make much of a splash at all!

This is not? In just a short volley, their slow-moving bugs were all defeated by them! Except for a few individuals who fled in panic, the others all turned into dust floating in the universe.

"There are quite a few swarms behind us, are you sure about it?!"

Doug was still a little worried, after all, they were followed by a larger number of Wyvern swarms......

If she wasn't sure, she still thought it would be better to retreat first for the time being?

At the very least, avoid the sharp energy of the bugs first, and when you have the opportunity, prepare some weapons of mass destruction, and then go back to the trouble of these swarms?

"Don't worry, Commander Doug! The Yamato gun in the bow of our battleship has now begun to gather energy, and a salvo is about to be fired! So, I suggest you guys better hurry! ”

Planck, satisfied that he had dealt with the threat of the Hope, quickly took out his bottle of spirits and began to take small sips.

A man like him, Uncle Planck, was born to drive the biggest boat, shoot the biggest cannon, and get drunk on strong wine!

He suddenly felt that he had been a smuggler for most of his life, and he had spent most of his life, and now, everything was worth it!

Although Planck also felt that it was an absolutely impossible task to completely eliminate the huge swarms that were following him, he was still a little confident if it was just to defeat and scare the other party away.

"Volley?"

At the same time, Doug and the others also realized that the five battlecruisers with their bows facing their team, their huge gun muzzles, seemed to be indeed charging?

Is that...... Yamato cannon? Fusion Shot?!

"Oh! Damn it! Everyone obeys the order: immediately bypass the battleship formation at full speed! Hurry up!! ”

Seeing this, Doug also seemed to understand a little bit about what that Planck madman wanted to do.

He actually wanted to use energy scattering to salvo the Yamato cannons of the five battleships and directly destroy the swarm that dragged the long line?

You must know that the Yamato cannon is a kind of energy weapon that is currently controllable by human beings and has the most powerful energy, which is through a high-density magnetic field, forcibly compressing and concentrating the energy of the nuclear explosion into a beam of energy, and finally launched violently.

Of course, if you don't concentrate its huge energy into a single beam when necessary, but instead shoot it in the form of a face, your power and shooting distance will be reduced, but the range of damage you can damage will be greatly increased!

This, just like Planck is now preparing to do!

"Hahaha! Lao Tzu loves this cannon! ”

After Commander Doug and his team took a look at what was going on, Planck brazenly ordered a salvo of the battleship's Yamato guns.

Then, when he saw the endless swarms of insects, which were instantly lost in the blazing white light, he drank and laughed uncontrollably.

The second base of the asteroid belt is here, which is a flat asteroid located on a slightly flattened plot with a radius of several kilometers with a power plant mounted.

It is on the periphery of the asteroid belt, and has been artificially moving in parallel with the asteroid belt at the same speed and direction, and controlled by the brain.

The command center of Base 2, and the rest of the buildings, sit on either side of this flat asteroid, you read that right, it's two sides!

In normal times, you can see countless SCV engineering vehicles, constantly going back and forth between the asteroid belt and Base 2, constantly collecting those metal ores, or simply dragging a small piece of small asteroid and forcibly dragging it back to the smelting plant of Base 2 to smelt various metals.

But today, this busy scene of the past is no longer seen!

Countless SCV engineering vehicles are either parked in the open space of the base and stacked neatly; Either that, they all returned to the command center or to the various factories.

Now in its place: five huge heavy battlecruisers and the USS Hope, humanity's most important colony mothership at the moment, are orbiting the asteroid at Base 2, flying at the same speed and in the direction of their orbit.

And the flat asteroid of the original No. 2 base has also become much more crowded than usual at this time.

Because, the command center, barracks, heavy factories and other retreating buildings of the JNO.3 planetary ground base, as well as thousands of transport ships, are also densely parked on the vacant ground of the second base, almost crowded.

On top of the Hope, a considerable number of SCV engineering vehicles with space operation experience are busy repairing the damaged outer wall and bow of the ship, striving to restore the colony ship as soon as possible.

And now, almost all of the top brass of the Hope, including the military chiefs of the various departments, some members of the colonial city council within the Hope, and the commanders of the two bases, have gathered here on the Hope, outside the corridors of the best infirmary.

“……”

"I don't know, what's going on now......"

"Let's hope everything is okay......"

"Alas......"

A group of people were just whispering in the hallway outside the hallway.

These people, including Doug, Galen, Darius, Planck, and so on, were all gathered here, except for little Anne, who had disappeared for the time being, and were anxiously tiptoeing to peer through the protective glass door of the infirmary.

In fact, the reason why Doug's ground base, as well as the No. 2 base and the battleship formation led by Planck couldn't contact the Hope was because: their Hope was caught off guard by the Wyvern swarm that suddenly broke out and didn't know how to hide its tracks and attack!

Although the Hope responded immediately and turned to switch orbits and began to flee, the key point of the Hope, the bridge that served as the command center and liaison hub, was directly broken by the attack of the swarm in the process of escaping......

That's why the Hope was trying to contact the ground base when it suddenly cut off communications!

And the bridge of the Hope, which was beaten into a tattered shape, the senior crew members on it were dead and wounded, and almost none of them were relatively intact!

Captain Leona, who was present at the time, as the captain and supreme military and political commander, was also unfortunately affected by the attack, and in the sudden attack of the insects at that time, she almost died because of it!

If it weren't for the fact that Dawn of the Brain manipulated the robot and saved her in the first place, the current Captain Leona would have either been corroded and dissolved by the poison sac of the Wyvern bug, or, like other unlucky eggs, would have been sucked out of space from the damaged bridge window......

Of course, although she was rescued in time by the dawn of the brain, she was not dead yet! However, serious injuries are inevitable!

Otherwise, there would not have been a situation where the entire Hope was leaderless and would have only let the brain control the spaceship to escape!

At that time, if anyone had stepped forward in time to give the order to re-contact the two bases or the battlecruiser fleet, the outer wall of the Hope would not have been allowed to be attacked by the swarm for so long and so badly damaged.

"Doctor Soraka, Captain Leona...... What the hell is going on? ”

Finally, when the automatic glass doors of the medical room opened to both sides, Doug impatiently pressed forward to Soraka as he walked out.

Although, she also saw it: Soraka, the only doctor of human medicine and biology on the Hope, was walking out of the medical operating room with a relaxed face, presumably, Captain Leona must be fine inside.

However, Doug was still very worried, fearing that something would happen to Leona, the captain and friend of her friends.

"Fortunately, don't worry, the rescue is relatively timely, and you can't die for the time being!"

After a long day of work, after finally rescuing Captain Leona, Soraka couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and a trace of tiredness appeared on his face.

In fact, she herself is quite tired now, and she wants to sleep for a while after tossing for so long to save the captain today.

But...... Thinking that there were still many wounded on the Hope, she planned to wash her face and refresh herself, and then go directly to other operating rooms to see the situation.

Anyway, the captain is fine here, and she is just a waste of medical resources if she stays here.

"What the hell is ...... How's your body doing? When will I wake up? ”

In his hurry, Doug glanced inside the medical operating room, and saw that the medical dormancy chamber was still running without the slightest sign of opening, and he couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

Now, on the human side of the Hope, there is still a serious threat from the swarm!

Even if Planck's five battlecruisers' Yamato cannon salvo wiped out and dispersed the large wave of Wyvern swarms, all the detection information up to now showed that the bugs had no intention of letting humans leave this star field!

They are actually gathering their forces, slowly but surely sailing towards the second base of the Hope human race, and towards the orbit of the asteroid belt!

Not only do they have the sheer number of wyvern bugs, but they also have the huge, balloon-like bugs that float, and there seem to be several huge bug-like warships?

Although they were not very fast, they still kept sailing towards the second base of the Hope.

They'll be in the vicinity of Human Base 2 tomorrow morning at the latest!

So, Doug urgently needs Captain Leona to wake up now and make an urgent decision! Or, make the necessary personnel arrangements?

Even if she can't be in charge, at least, she has to appoint a temporary captain who can take over her position, right? Otherwise, who should they listen to now?

"Huh...... Still want to wake up? ”

When Dr. Soraka was just thinking about which operating room she was going to help out, she almost laughed when she heard Doug's words!

Captain Leona was so badly injured that it was good that she didn't die on the spot!

If it weren't for Soraka's own medical skills, Captain Leona would definitely be on the list of the dead! How can you still want to wake up now? Dream on!

She's very clear! Now, the other party is in an unconscious vegetative state at all, and if he doesn't stay in the dormant medical warehouse for more than half a year, he can't imagine that he can easily regain consciousness!

"I can assure you with certainty that she wouldn't have been able to open her eyes without at least eight months or more for the dormant chamber to slowly repair!"

After scanning the high-ups of the Hope in front of him, Sorakar sighed and stated his diagnosis.

Captain Leona's current state is like a kind of near-death self-protection hibernation! Therefore, long-term minimally invasive treatment, even as small as the repair of cells and neurons, is very necessary!

"Eight...... Eight months?! What about the Hope? Those bugs won't give us that much time! ”

Hearing this, the speaker of the three councillors, the leader, kept patting his palms and said anxiously.

"That's right! Tomorrow morning or noon at the latest, those bugs will be here! ”

"That's it!"

"What the hell are we going to do?"

When the Speaker took the lead in speaking out about it, the others began to talk to each other.

"I'm just a doctor, how do I know what you're going to do?!"

Soraka looked at the group of people and retorted angrily.

She's just a doctor who sees a doctor, and where can she know what to do with this kind of military or political matter?

"Won't you choose another person to be in charge of the work?"

Anyway, Dr. Soraka knew that Captain Leona had absolutely no hope!

Since the bugs are coming, the best thing to do is to quickly re-elect a person in charge!

Or maybe just let humanity evacuate the asteroid belt first? Wouldn't it be better for them to vote on such a simple matter?

"This ...... This doesn't seem to be in accordance with the regulations...... Dawn? ”

The speaker was stunned for a moment, then looked inside the medical operating room before frowning, not knowing what he was thinking.

Finally, after a long while, he tried to call out the dawn of the brain.

"In accordance with the safety agreement of the Hope, a new captain may be elected by vote between the Chairperson of the Hope and the Supreme Military Commander in the event that the current captain of the Hope is unable to perform the duties of captain and does not designate an acting captain in a timely manner."

Wisdom Brain Dawn is also paying attention to this matter throughout the whole process, and now, after hearing the Speaker's inquiry, it gave the answer that the other party wanted to know in the first time.

Although Captain Leona is not dead now, the other party's state is in line with the description of the regulations on the replacement of captains in the security agreement of Dawn of the Brain.

"That's right...... What about Doug's first mate? What about your opinion? ”

Hearing this, the speaker realized that there was such a thing.

Then, he immediately looked at the commander of the No. 1 base, the former first mate of the Hope, Doug.

Now, the top commander of the military, it seems, is this former first officer, right? In this case...... Himself, it seems, has a chance to become the new captain? And, the chances are still great?

This young former first mate also relied on Leona's relationship to come out so quickly, presumably, she shouldn't be her opponent, right?

"You can do it yourself...... Now, I just want to go in and see Captain Leona first......"

After speaking, Doug, who looked a little dazed, didn't care about the other party's reaction, and went straight past Dr. Soraka at the door and walked directly to the medical operating room.

In this medical operating room, she has just finished surgery and is unconscious in the medical room, but her friend Leona!

Therefore, she had to go to see the other party first before dealing with other things.

"Hey! Stop me! You people, what are you trying to make a fuss about?! ”

When he saw Doug enter, Dr. Soraka didn't mean to stop him in the slightest.

However, when she saw that the Chairmen of the Hope, as well as the military's Galen and Darius, wanted to follow in, she quickly stretched out her hand to block the door and directly stopped them brutally.

"Of course it's to go in and see Captain Leona, what else can I do?"

Captain Planck, who had been stopped first, glared at the doctor with a mouth full of wine.

He didn't understand, Commander Doug could go in, why couldn't they go in? Is this a discriminatory treatment?

Keep your eyes open and take a good look, Uncle Planck is also the captain of a battle cruiser and the commander of the temporary fleet!

Can't you go in and see Captain Leona now? He must have this qualification, right?

"Go back, go back, give me all back! Now I announce: from now on, no male creature will be allowed to enter this medical room! ”

"Captain Leona is just staying in the dormant medical chamber to be treated, what's so nice about it? I warn you, get out of the way and choose your new captain right now! ”

Now the dormant medical chamber inside, Captain Leona, is sitting naked in the transparent shield, soaking in the repair tissue fluid, which will be repaired for eight months!

Where are the males who can casually go in and see?

Is this trying to take advantage?

Therefore, Dr. Sosolaka mercilessly stopped all these people from the medical room, and at the same time used his medical authority to give new orders to this medical room.

From now on, all males, both humans and dogs, are strictly forbidden to enter!

“……”

"Uh......"

"Oh! I almost forgot about it! ”

A group of high-ranking military officers and parliamentarians were stunned for a moment before they came back to their senses.

After thinking about it, they felt that it was true that they couldn't wear any clothes in the dormant medical room, and it was really a little inconvenient for them to enter the men......

Tsk, it's a pity......

"Alright, alright! In that case, don't go in, let's go to the conference room of the military zone and stand by! ”

"Dawn, give notice to all officers and councillors who have the right to vote: they are required to arrive at the conference room of the military district within half an hour, and if they fail to do so, they will be deemed to have abstained!"

Unable to enter the infirmary to visit Captain Leona, everyone had to give up.

Then, comforted by the shy and fat-bellied speaker, they began to turn around and walk towards the large conference room in the military district.

"Yes, Speaker! The order has been given! ”

At the same time as everyone turned around, the voice of the dawn of the brain sounded.

"Gentlemen and ladies! Now, we hope that the current predicament of the number, I believe everyone should know! Well, now that time is pressing, I won't go into details! ”

Half an hour later, in a conference room in the military district, Robert, as Speaker, was standing behind a rostrum to deliver his speech.

Sitting in the audience were five men and women, Commander Doug of Base 1, Commander of Base 2, Commanders of the Galen and Darius Marines, Commander Nolan of the Tank Unit, Captain of the Wraith Fighter Group, and Planck, the interim commander of the battleship fleet, who had just taken office and was drinking in a dull manner, and several other captains.

These people are the people who are currently on the Hope and have the right to vote for the new captain and supreme commander of the Hope.

"Tomorrow at the latest, we will be surrounded by an endless army of bugs! Therefore, we must elect a new captain of the USS Hope as soon as possible, and then, let him, lead everyone out of the current predicament! ”

Speaking of this, Speaker Robert paused, straightened his waist, looked at the people below, and roughly estimated the number of votes he could get later, before nodding with satisfaction.

Compared with the young Doug, he seems to have more advantages?

In this case, the position of captain must be in his own pocket, right? It's superb!

"So, now I, the Speaker of the USS Hope Council, are now officially running for the position of Captain of the USS Hope!"

"I believe that with my rich experience in governing for many years when I was on Earth, I will have the ability to lead you out of the current predicament and towards a more brilliant future! Okay, I won't say anything more, I hope you can vote for me later! Thank you so much! ”

Syllable! Syllable! Syllable!

As soon as Robert's words were finished, several of the councillors began to take the lead in applauding everyone.

In this way, they seem to be the hardcore subordinates of this speaker?

"Okay, there's not much time, let's be quiet for a while!"

After pressing his hands and quieting everyone down, he looked at Doug, who had been silent, with a slight sense of pride.

"Uh, Colonel Doug, you're the candidate for the military, right? Now, it's your turn to speak, hurry up, we're short on time! ”

If it weren't for the urgency of time, Robert would have been confident that he would be able to blow for an hour or two, or even more! Until most of these people are willing to vote for themselves!

"I'm sorry, Speaker Robert. Now the military of the USS Hope has the right to participate in the election of the captain, in fact, it is not Colonel Doug! ”

When Doug stood up and was about to walk to the rostrum to say something, the Hope's brain suddenly spoke up at this time.

"This?!"

"Won't it?"

Then, it uttered a message that startled all the people in the military.

In their minds, the highest rank and status in their military is Colonel Doug, the commander of Base 1, right?

Who else but her has this qualification?!

Could it be Planck's fleet commander? No kidding! He's just a temporary acting commander, and the appointment hasn't come down yet, and the military ranks of everyone here are the lowest among him!

Moreover, just by virtue of Planck's bastard virtues, his usual bad behavior, his habit of drinking like his life, his prestige is basically equal to zero, he will not want to be elected in the next life!

"According to my calculations: at present, the Hope has the highest priority rank according to military rank and merit, and it should actually be Colonel Anne Hasta!"

After speaking, the dawn of the brain opened a holographic communication interface for the first time.

Inside, in addition to the cockpit of a fighter plane, there was also a little girl squatting in the driver's seat, holding a bottle of energy drink, in the cabin of the gravity-free environment, sipping and drinking.

Then, from time to time, she also stretched out her little bright red tongue and licked the droplets of the drink that had floated in the air and had condensed into a clump.

"Huh?! It's Aunt Doug, and Galen...... Hi! Are you all right? Haven't even been eaten by bugs?! ”

After seeing that the communication was opened inexplicably, Anne was also stunned for a moment, and said with a little regret.

Then, she quickly threw away the bottle of energy drink in her hand, and let the leftover liquid splash out and float in the warehouse, just smiled to herself and greeted everyone.

Originally, she thought that under the overwhelming attack of the sea of insects, the people of the Hope and Doug must have been eaten by the insects, and before she was harmed, she specially made time to feel a little sad for them for a few seconds!

"Is it Annie? That's great! You're all right? Where are you now? ”

After seeing that the little girl was okay, Doug and Galen immediately stood up and cheered with relief.

Before, because they couldn't practice, they always thought that Little Annie's fighter must have fallen under the attack of those huge insect swarms!

But who would have thought that now, he was still connected by the dawn of the brain?

"I don't know where I am...... Just after fighting those bugs chasing me, my fighter plane didn't have much energy...... And then, floating, and that's it! ”

After looking at the dark space outside the glass of the fighter cabin, Anne said with a little distress.

Where she is now, even she doesn't know......

At present, in her fighter, in addition to the life-sustaining and communication equipment and energy reserves, the engine has been out for a long time!

And before, she had never been able to contact the Hope, thinking that after those people were all dead, she could only let the fighter plane float calmly in the universe.

"Now the situation is urgent! Annie, hurry up and report your coordinates, and then we'll send an armored transport ship to pick you up right away! ”

Now, shortly after retrieving the Hope, the humans were trapped in the galaxy by bugs in an unknown way, and they were temporarily distracted from the ability to jump or warp out of the area.

So, it won't be long before the new captain of the Hope is chosen, and they will soon start preparing to break out of the galaxy, and if little Anne doesn't make it back in time, then she will probably be left here forever!

In that case, the end will be a bit miserable......

"Wait, Commander Doug!"

"I have a proposal: since the current candidate for the military, this Colonel Anne, she can't come back in time, then I will officially take over as the captain of the Hope now, what do you think? After all, we really don't have much time left! ”

Speaker Robert laughed secretly, and then hurriedly suggested out loud.

"As for the rescue of Colonel Anne, later, your military will handle it on your own."

Originally, he was going to run for election with this Colonel Doug, but where did he think that the one who was really qualified to run for election was that little girl?

And what's even more wonderful is that the other party can't come back in time now?

He felt that today, it seemed to be his lucky day? Therefore, he didn't even think about the outrageous fact that the dawn of the brain would let an alien little girl run for election.

"This ......"

Doug hesitated for a moment.

When she just wanted to promise the other party, little Anne, who was in the holographic communication, suddenly spoke up.

"Wait! Are you guys doing something fun? Then I'm going to participate in it too!! ”

Just now, in the communication, Anne seemed to hear what the other party was talking about the interesting thing about running for captain?

And the most important thing is: she herself seems to be eligible to run? Therefore, she was originally a matter of business, and she was hanging high, and she immediately came to the spirit.

Running for the captain of the Hope?

How could she not participate in such a fun thing?!

She'd always wanted to have a battleship of her own! Now, isn't that an opportunity? That's not to be missed!

Even if it is a means of cheating, she must get the captain of the Hope, the most powerful position!

Then, everything is up to her!

When the time comes, hey, hey, hey......

"I'm so sorry, Colonel Anne! Now that time is pressing, I'm afraid you won't be able to come back...... Therefore, the position of captain can only be taken over by me for the time being! Don't worry, I'll send the best ship to rescue you later. ”

Robert didn't mind that the other party was a little girl, so he said it seriously.

He had just looked at the other party's location information, this little girl's fighter plane was a little too far away from the orbit of this No. 2 base. Even if they sent the fastest armored transport ship to carry out this rescue mission now, they would definitely not be able to come back without three or five hours.

So, now that he has the victory, the original Colonel Doug is not qualified, and the qualified little kid can't come back!

"Humph! Who said I couldn't go back? Wait, I'll be right back! ”

Since there are better things waiting for her, little Anne can't even take care of the current special fighter!

So, after pondering for a while, using her magic to sense and lock on to the coordinates of the people she was communicating with, and then after Galen's enchanted weapons helped anchor the position, she quickly cast a long-distance teleportation spell.

"Aha! Look! I'm back now, right? Isn't it a surprise?! ”

After a burst of blue arcane light lit up, everyone in this conference room was stunned, and under the incredible expression, little Anne swished and appeared in this conference room in an instant.

Then, in the holographic communication interface, only an empty unmanned cockpit remains......

“……”

"This ......"

"Hah...... That's cool! ”

What everyone didn't expect was that this little girl, she really teleported from the distant universe to her current location all of a sudden, like a jump?

Moreover, is this still a direct jump with **?

Is this little girl's magic really so rebellious? She wasn't afraid of being torn to pieces directly by space?

You know, in the past, in human experiments, it is not without attempts to jump without protection, but those ends are usually not very good......

"Now, can we play the game of choosing a captain?"

As soon as she landed, little Anne hurriedly asked.

"Wait, wait!"

"I suppose so, Colonel Anne, you're only an eight-year-old girl, and you're not a good fit to run for captaincy! You may not know, but now that we are about to fight the bugs and prepare to break out to the death, this kind of militaristic matter should be handled by us adults! ”

Seeing that the other party suddenly returned here, Speaker Robert was anxious and hurriedly opened his mouth to change his mind.

Now, he couldn't care less about being surprised by the other party's strange ability, and he came out again and reiterated the seriousness of the matter that the Hope was about to face!

And try to convince the little girl to give up this campaign, and at the same time hope that others can understand that the power of controlling the Hope humanity must not be handed over to an alien girl of unknown origin.

"Huh? Why did you break through? If you don't want to fight those bugs, I've got a solution! ”

Anne herself was not stupid, and of course she knew that it would be a fool's errand to force herself against that endless number of bugs.

Now the human beings of the Hope, the best way is to find a way to run far!

And this method happens to be that little Anne has it herself!

"I can cast spells! Open a big portal directly, so that all of you, including the battleship, can easily teleport away before the bugs surround you! ”

It would have been too easy for Anne to get the Hope out of this dangerous star field!

Because, she has a space gem!

Find a random direction, use the energy of the space gem itself to open the portal, and let the Hope and other ships, and even the asteroid where the second base is located, just enter it in one go, just like those Chirita people who attacked New York back then!

If it was to open the portal in the same universe, with her own help, Anne felt that it would not consume too much energy.

If the energy is really not enough, she can also use the energy in the Time Stone to replace it!

In her mind, opening a large portal in the same universe, the two gems together should be enough, right?

"Of course, that's a very tiring thing, and I'll only do that if you choose me to be the captain!"

Squinting, little Anne looked at the chubby captain with bad intentions.

Just now, this bad guy called the Speaker, and he still wants to keep himself from running? Hum! Then she wants to choose it herself, and she will be angry with him!

Moreover, she also felt that if she was really elected later, the first thing she would do at that time would be to remove this villain from the position of Speaker!

"You, you ......"

Seeing that this little girl was so cunning and used this method to coerce others to give her votes, Robert was suddenly choked and speechless.

He could only point at each other with his trembling fat fingers, and he was panting for breath, and his neck seemed to have become thicker?

"Hahaha...... I love this little girl! So, I have now decided that all these votes of our fleet will be voted for Colonel Anne! ”

As soon as he heard that the little girl had a way to get everyone out safely, Planck, the old drunkard, was the first to jump out.

If you can leave safely, no one will want to fight and kill those boundless swarms!

Planck is not stupid, and he believes that others are not stupid!

Besides, this little girl seems to have a good relationship with the military, like Galen, they will definitely vote for her, so he might as well come out first and take the lead and curry favor.

So, while burping, he made a statement agreeing to vote directly for the precious five votes of his battleship fleet to this little ghost whom he had always had a good impression of.

"We will also vote for Colonel Anne!"

Sure enough, Galen and Darius looked at each other and stood up directly.

They have all received great favors from little Annie, so, in this case, it is obvious that they are not helping their relatives! What is that Robert's name, and he is not familiar with them, so the speaker is amazing? Who knows who he is?

Besides, little Anne has a way to get everyone to teleport away safely!

If she hadn't been chosen in this way, Galen and Darius would have been 100% sure that this little girl who was extremely vindictive would not care about them when the time came!

"Okay, Colonel Anne has already received seven votes......"

The voice of the dawn of the brain sounded at the right time.

Its words have already indicated: Planck's vote on behalf of the battleship fleet and Galen has just taken effect!

Now, the two sides have received 7-0 votes, and only a few more votes are needed for the little girl to be elected as the new captain of the Hope by an absolute margin.

……

In the end, the pitiful few votes in the parliament were completely incapable of making much of a wave......

"You, how can you do this?"

Although, Speaker Robert tried his best to win and try to convince others to vote for himself instead of the little alien girl.

Although, he kept repeatedly stating that the other party was only an eight-year-old girl, obviously unsuitable for such an important position as captain, and also insinuated that the other people were of unknown origin and had a suspicious identity.

But in the end, with the unanimous support of the Hope military, after Little Anne promised to use her magic to allow everyone on the Hope to safely bypass the insects and teleport out of this dangerous galaxy.

She easily won the final victory with a majority of votes, and became the new captain of the Hope and the top military and political officer as she wished!

At the same time, it is also the highest authority of the Hope Number!

"Colonel Annie, from now on, you have officially received the legal authority to become the new captain of the Hope!"

In the end, little Anne soon officially assumed the position of captain of the Hope with the authorization of the Dawn of the Brain.

"Okay, then, I'm going to give the first order!"

Subsequently, she immediately signed the first personnel appointment in spite of the strong opposition of others: to remove Speaker Robert from all his duties on the spot, and let a member of parliament who had just voted for himself replace him!

What little Anne decides, no one can persuade him!

Who let that fat guy just compete with him for a position? Who made him speak ill of himself all the time?

Without burning him on the spot, Anne already felt that she herself was very merciful!

Then, when the transfer of authority began, due to the conflict between the captains of the Hope and the captains of those battlecruisers, Little Anne was dissatisfied, and soon after obtaining the consent of the others, the position of the supreme military and political chief of the Hope human beings was officially changed from the captain of the Hope to the supreme head of the human beings of the Hope.

2499 A.D. x/x/x

The huge interstellar colony ship Hope, with the blessing of Little Annie's dual energy of space gems and time gems, opened a huge portal, allowing the Hope, all the warships and the asteroid 2 base with many buildings, to enter the huge portal smoothly before the bugs besieged it......

……

Subsequently, the Hope and his party began to sail silently for nearly three months in a dark universe where they could not see any planets, or even any stellar light, and when little Anne opened the portal again, they finally arrived in a more lively star zone.

"Report the Führer! We have arrived at a new cosmic star region, and after comparing star maps, it seems that it is not far from the center of the Milky Way?! ”

"Report the Führer! We have detected a lot of communication channels and some unencrypted broadcast signals! Moreover, I found that the timing of our system seems to have gone wrong?! ”

"Report the Führer! We detected traces of human and bug activity in the vicinity!! ”

"Report the Führer! We also detected not far away, there seems to be a habitable planet?! ”

"Report the Führer! We ......"

Shortly after passing through the portal, the communications officers and intelligence officers stood up from their respective positions on the bridge of the heavy battlecruiser No. 1, which had been renamed the Führer by Anne Jr., and reported loudly to Führer Anne, who was sitting in the captain's seat.

Now, after passing through the portal for the second time, they have discovered a lot of strange information.

In this region near the middle of the Milky Way, there are not only a lot of communication signals, but also signs of human and bug activity? And, their timing, too, seems to have gone wrong?

Originally, when they passed through the portal, it was supposed to be 2499, but now, in the signals they received that belonged to humans, it was clearly written that it was after 2504?

What's going on here? How could there be such a difference in time?!

"Stop! In the future, don't bother me with things like this, you go to Adjutant Doug yourself! Now, all fleets, listen to my commands: prepare to leap over to that habitable planet! ”

"We're going to grab ...... Oh no! We're going to take over that ownerless planet! ”

After two or three months of wandering in the Void Universe, they arrived here when Little Anne opened the portal again.

So, now she's a little impatient!

Now that she has discovered that there is a habitable planet here, she doesn't want to waste the precious energy of her space gem anymore, so she has to hurry over and grab it!

As long as they plant the flag of their Hope on the planet, then that planet will be their Hope from now on...... Oh no! It's the land of their heroes!

As for whether there is a master on that planet or something, she doesn't want to care!

As long as she planted her flag on the ground of the planet, that planet would become hers, didn't it!

And those planets are inhabited by human beings...... No! Where are there any humans? They're all natives! And indigenous people have no human rights!

This is the same story of the Indians she learned in elementary school in New York! She remembered very well that those who had guns and cannons in their hands said: America is the New World, it is ownerless, and the Indians are indigenous, then they are!

Now, they have five heavy battlecruisers in their hands, and if the natives on that habitable planet who look like humans dare to resist, are they afraid?

If you annoy her, it's not like she can't do things like shelling the planet!

"Yes! The Great Führer Anne!! ”

A group of officers obeyed Little Anne's orders and went about their jobs.

After two or three months of wandering in the universe, they can't wait to find a planet suitable for their hope to live in!

Now that they have encountered a suitable one, and the Führer advocates taking it by force, then they can't care about anything else, so they should carry out the order first!

Moreover, they also felt that Führer Anne was right, that planet must be ownerless!

What, you say there's someone up there? Sorry, it's too far away for them to see!

……

At this time, the citizens of the colonial city inside the Hope also inexplicably received some strange TV signals in their respective holographic TV sets.

For example, someone saw a passage like this:

"Today, on the x/x/day of the year 2504 AD, a colony of our Monsk Empire has been brutally bloodbathed by the Kerrigan swarm, and now on the entire planet, the casualties are no longer countable!

Look! She's coming, ah!! ”

Then, in the final picture of the TV, a strange half-human, half-worm creature appeared......
