Mid-August 2031, asteroid belt.

"One-one-one, I'm Lei Shan, please answer when you receive it, please answer when you receive it-"

"The Thunder Mountain calls Base 1, the Thunder Mountain calls Base 1, please answer when you receive it-"

The muffled call spread with the radio waves to the periphery, and the radio waves flew over Base One, but the asteroid did not respond, and there was a dead silence in the bridge, only the sizzling radio noise kept echoing.

Luo Qi reluctantly gave up the call, and turned his head to look at Ye Han: "Division, it's been more than two hours. ”

The surviving fighters were injected with hibernation, and the originally tight power supply was much looser, and the Leishan regularly contacted Base 1 every day to report the situation in the base.

Ye Han rubbed his eyebrows: "Keep calling, even if you only have one percent hope, you can't give up!" ”

He sighed in his heart, as if his heart was stuffed with countless messes, and he couldn't figure it out.

These days, the various caves have lost contact one after another, but no one knows what the reason is, and as of yesterday, only hole 8 can still be contacted.

Ye Han had been worried about the situation in Cave No. 8, but he didn't expect to be afraid of anything, seeing that the battleship was about to arrive at the asteroid, Cave No. 8 still couldn't escape in the end.

"Yes!" Luo Qi agreed, set his voice to an automatic loop, and kept calling Base One.

"Is there any news from the northern capital?" Ye Han suddenly thought of something.

"Nope." Luo Qi replied in the affirmative.

Ye Han sighed helplessly: "Go on." “

On the morning of the fourth day, Leishan arrived at the asteroid and traveled side by side with the asteroid several hundred meters apart.

The asteroid rotates slowly, and through the lens, you can clearly see the half-buried antenna on the surface of the asteroid and the large holes that have exploded, and if you look closely, you can also find some debris floating near the asteroid.

"No news yet?" Ye Han asked.

Luo Qi shook his head: "No, there is no signal at all." “

"What about Ceres?"

"Still observing, no trace of aliens has been found yet."

"Fly around Base 1 a few times and observe the situation first."

"Yes!"

The Leishan flew around the asteroid as ordered, carefully observing the situation on the asteroid, because the observation data needs to be archived, the Leishan observed very carefully, even a suspicious shadow had to be repeatedly observed until it was confirmed that there was no danger.

The observation of the asteroid was not over, but the observation of Ceres came out first, and no signs of extraterrestrial activity were found.

Ye Han was very surprised, according to the conditions of Ceres, aliens should not give up, what is the reason that prompts aliens to ignore Ceres?

Or are the aliens just acting like they are in fact secretly controlling Ceres?

After another period of time, Luo Qi reported: "Division Commander, no anomalies were found on the asteroid, did you send the drone over?" “

Ye Han sighed: "No need, just land directly, I will personally lead the team, He Lu, the battleship is under your command!" “

"Yes!" He Lu simply agreed and immediately took over the battleship.

He Lu is the deputy captain of the Leishan and one of Ye Han's two deputies.

Ye Han knew that he had a few pounds and taels, although he also knew how to command warships, but he didn't have a lot of actual command experience, so he took the initiative to ask the base for a deputy who knew how to do it.

After Gao Kai learned the news, he took the initiative to recommend He Lu to Ye Han, saying that he was one of the reserve captain seeds that the fleet focused on cultivating, and temporarily lent Ye Han for a period of time, and asked Ye Han to ensure He Lu's safety.

After Ye Han repeatedly assured, Gao Kai sent He Lu to the Leishan and became Ye Han's right-hand man together with Luo Qi...... Luo Qi is mainly responsible for chores, and in terms of importance, the two cannot be compared at all.

He Lu suddenly asked, "Captain, is the battleship docking or landing directly?" “

"Landing directly, you command the Leishan to be on alert, and I don't worry if the battleship is not in the sky."

"Yes!" He Lu agreed, and immediately arranged it.

Ye Han left with Luo Qi, and a few minutes later, the two battle groups flew away from the Thunder Mountain under Ye Han's personal command.

The distance between Leishan and the asteroid is only a few hundred meters, but flying in the helpless space, unable to reach the sky or the ground, I always feel very bottomless in my heart, and I don't feel better until I get close to the asteroid.

The entrance to Base 1 was chosen in a natural valley, which was originally planned to be converted into an airport, but for now, there is only a natural cave and an artificial cave that leads to the asteroid content.

In the hidden place near the valley, there were still many pieces of equipment, and Ye Han recognized their identities at a glance: "The super thruster used for asteroids is said to be the latest improved model, and I don't know what has changed."

The gravity of the asteroid is very low, and everyone's actions are inseparable from the thrusters, and Ye Han is the first to float near the entrance.

Luo Qi suddenly stood in front of Ye Han: "Division Commander, I'm in advance!" "According to the drawings provided by Base One, there should be a trap with two grenades here.

"No, you don't." Ye Han pointed to the wall in front of him.

Luo Qi took a closer look and immediately found several pieces of shrapnel embedded in the wall: "Exploded?" Aliens have been here? “

"Guess what?" Ye Han crossed Luo Qi, but before he could fly in, Luo Qi rushed in, and as soon as he turned around, he bumped into a black shadow head-on.

Luo Qi almost shot, but the black shadow flew out backwards again, and it was only at this time that he saw that the black shadow was a giant insect that was half missing.

Looking past the giant worm into the depths of the cave, the stumps of various giant worms have severed arms, and the dust and gravel fill the entire cave, and if you look closely, you can also find a lot of frozen worm blood.

In addition to these, there were tentacle-like things on the walls of the cave, which were standing motionless and irregular like grass.

Luo Qi didn't dare to approach, stared at it carefully for a while, and then said uncertainly: "Commander, this thing seems to be a tree root, right?" How did you get here? “

"It looks like it." Ye Han also felt this way, "Did you find it, the place near the tentacles is particularly clean!" “

"Yes, yes, that's it!"

Ye Han pinched a piece of gravel the size of his finger and gently threw it at the tentacles, and the thruster operated automatically, neutralizing the backward impulse, so that Ye Han remained in his original position and did not move at all.

The rubble flew near the tentacles, and the originally curly tentacles suddenly and slowly rolled towards the rubble, pulling the rubble against the wall, making it look like it was supposed to be there.

Luo Qi was so shocked that his jaw almost dislocated: "Are they still alive?" "It took so much effort and so many lives for the base to blow up that alien plant, how can this thing still be alive?

Ye Han's eyes were complicated: "The problem has been found." “
