Chapter 27: Supplies are coming
The Jet fleet had chased more than a thousand kilometers away, but still had not found any trace of the enemy, because they had run in the wrong direction.
"Captain, there is still no discovery, could it be that they have run away from other places or are hiding?" Captain Love asked, with some concern.
"Impossible, the biggest problem facing that ship now is supply, based on the situation and time at the time, there will definitely not be many supplies on their ship, even if we don't pursue, they will solve this problem, so this route is their only choice." Torus said in a deep voice.
"But we have already chased more than a thousand kilometers, and even if it is a high-speed warship, it is impossible to not even see a shadow at our speed."
Torus didn't answer Love's question right away, but pondered, and soon a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "It's worthy of being a god of war, and the idea is really unique." ”
His fists clenched.
He fought so many times on the battlefield back then, but the other party always beat him steadily, but he didn't expect to fight again ten years later, but this situation still hasn't changed, he predicted the opponent's actions, but the other party predicted his prediction.
"What's wrong?" Love asked curiously.
"It's nothing, we've been tricked."
"Wasn't that the 'bait' before?"
"No, they didn't take either route, but chose the third one."
"And a third!?" Locke was puzzled.
"Stay put, and then hide?"
"But you didn't mean their supplies..."
"I'd also like to know that if the god of war's thoughts can be guessed casually, we won't be in vain now." There was no trace of annoyance on Torus's face, on the contrary, it seemed that such an opponent made him more amused.
"So what do we do next?"
At this time, the correspondent received the latest notice, "Captain, the Supreme Council has called to inform you. ”
Love sighed, it was time to come.
Soon, they heard the notice from the Supreme Council.
After listening to the announcement, Love breathed a sigh of relief, just apologized, which didn't feel like anything to him, an apology in exchange for three Gundam mobile suits and a colony satellite for the other party, it was definitely worth it.
However, Torus snorted unhappily, "These people in the Council are too easy to coax, just a little sweetness will make them relax." ”
"What then? We don't even know where the target is now, so we can't hit it if we want to, right? Love asked.
Torus smiled: "Don't worry, Captain, of course we can't do anything that disobeys orders." ”
Love breathed a sigh of relief, "These remnants of the Peace Army are considered lucky for them. ”
Torus shook his finger, "No, no, no, in order to prevent some troublesome things from happening in the future, it is better to extinguish the seed of hope of the alliance as soon as possible." ”
Love looked at each other puzzled.
The corners of Torus's mouth were habitually hooked into a smile, "The council just asked a few of us to go back and apologize, and didn't ask the others to go back too, so let's let them put on a good show." ”
At this time, the Shenzhou also drove out in the opposite direction and stopped at the Celestial Domain hundreds of kilometers away.
"There is no sign of the Jet Army, it seems that we are safe for the time being." Fan Hualian breathed a sigh of relief.
Sun Yaojun also immediately ordered the battleship to be stopped.
All they need to do is spend 24 hours here in peace.
Searching for the enemy in the boundless universe is undoubtedly looking for a needle in a haystack, and now they can only fight the Jiete army to retreat, after all, the supplies on the ship are only enough for them to barely survive three days.
And it would take 48 hours to return to the nearest supply station from the current coordinates, so they could only stay here for 24 hours, and everyone would have to go hungry if it was longer.
After the tense battle in Lianfan, the Shenzhou finally ushered in a rare rest, and the rest of the personnel on the ship hurriedly rested except for those on duty, after all, no one knew when the next battle would come.
At this time, the only people on the ship who were relaxed were Xian Xingchen.
"Stopped, where the hell does this battleship want to go?" Zhong Zhiyun looked at the starry sky outside the porthole and asked.
The few of them were bored at this point and came to a porthole.
"I don't know where we're going, but we're still on the edge of the Augulis Universe." Qin Yiwen immediately searched out his current location from his laptop.
And outside the porthole, in the distant starry sky, the wreckage of Ogulis was still faintly visible.
"I seem to have heard them say that this is some kind of strategic action, and this battleship should stop here for a while before returning home." Luo Jing shared what she heard with her friends.
"You don't have to worry so much, this is the latest type of space battleship, even if something happens, it won't come directly to us, instead of thinking so much about this, you might as well hurry up and take a break, if there is another war, you won't be able to rest." Xian Xingchen persuaded.
He had just written a few more complicated action programs, and he was feeling a little tired at this time.
"If you're tired, go back and rest first, a few of us are bored and want to breathe here." Bai Kaiyi said casually.
"Okay, then I'll go back to sleep." Xian Xingchen rolled his eyes, and then stopped paying attention to these people, feeling sleepy when he was idle.
"I really envy this guy, as if he doesn't have any troubles at any time." After Xian Xingchen left, Bai Kaiyi sighed.
"Maybe it's because of the perfect genes of the new humans." Zhong Zhiyun said.
"I don't think so, his personality is like this, we, as his friends, can't do everything like everyone else to pull on the genes of the new human, it's too hurtful." Luo Jing was dissatisfied with Xian Xingchen.
"But the truth is that a few of us on this ship feel like we can't do anything, and I hate it." Zhong Zhiyun pinned his head out of the window after speaking.
"Me too, I've always had a feeling of decadence since I got on this battleship, and suddenly I miss the days of class, I don't want to go with the flow on this battleship." Qin Yiwen's round face also had a little frustration.
Bai Kaiyi glanced at the two boys and said lightly: "It's pointless for you to discuss these here, instead of worrying here, it's better to go back and think about what you can do." ”
With that, she turned and floated down the hallway.
"Kaiyi is right, in fact, our ability is no worse than Xingchen, but we lost in the mentality, you two think about it, I'll go back and rest." After Luo Jing finished speaking, she also floated forward and chased after Bai Kaiyi.
The 24 hours of rest and work are about to pass, and the work of the various posts in the battleship is finally much more logical after this discussion and rest, and even if you encounter war again, you will not be in a hurry.
In the conference room, Sun Yaojun, Fan Hualian and several battleship officers were planning for their future return, but they discussed various possible situations and countermeasures, but they were inseparable from one core issue, resources.
Without a supply of resources, they can't seem to do anything.
Suddenly, the emergency communicators on the two captains rang.
"What's the matter?" As soon as he entered the command room, Sun Yaojun couldn't wait to ask.
"Report to the captain, three heat sources are coming in this direction."
"Is it the enemy?" Fan Hualian asked worriedly.
"It's not clear, there are no identifying signals. The thermal imaging system has already analysed the image and immediately put it on the big screen. ”
The image of the other party was immediately displayed on the big screen.
It was a cruiser and two spaceships, both of which were painted black in color, and both sides of the cruiser and spaceship were painted with a skull and two long knives crossed in white.
"It's... Pirate! Fan Hualian's face was suddenly filled with a strange look.
No wonder the other party's ship did not have an identification signal, it turned out to be a space pirate ship.
Any spaceship and warship that has been manufactured through formal channels will inevitably have a signal of identification of the model and the government to which it belongs, even if it is a private spaceship, after all, this is almost the only case in a special case like the Shenzhou.
And the spaceships that do not have any identification signals are only these space pirates who are not recognized by the government forces of any country.
The corners of Sun Yaojun's mouth habitually hooked a smile, "I'll just say, the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, and there is no endless road, so someone will send us supplies." ”
