Chapter 54: Belated Reinforcements
The spaceship sped off into outer space.
Looking at the base below that was constantly moving away and getting smaller, Ye Feng was convinced that he was really going to leave Lord Star in a spaceship.
Why? Evacuated so suddenly?
This is a question that most people don't understand.
However, soon, Ye Feng knew the reason.
He saw that the dark cloud-like monsters below were flocking to the base from all directions, and the leader was a giant flying monster that Ye Feng had never seen before.
This is what Rhodes called Mothra.
This Mothra is like a super-bomber that sows and destroys. Wherever it flew over, the earth began to burn.
When it flew over the base, the entire base was engulfed in flames that could burn everything.
The base's automated defense system is attacking, but it's tickling for Mothra. It can't do any harm at all.
Subsequently, the entire base was enveloped in a dark cloud of monsters.
The base is finished!
Seeing this scene, everyone finally understood why they evacuated in a hurry.
I am also glad that I evacuated in time. Otherwise, you will either die in the sea of fire or become the food in the belly of the monster.
Mothra spotted the spaceship fleeing from Lord Star, and it spread its wings upwards as if to launch a pursuit. And it's fast.
"The monster is catching up!"
Some people who were watching were scared and screamed. Ye Feng couldn't help but get nervous.
However, all spacecraft have already flown out of the stratosphere. Mothra could no longer fly upward. It can only hover and roar in the atmosphere.
Seeing that Mothra's unwilling and helpless appearance, Ye Feng and the others breathed a sigh of relief.
And at this moment, a large number of pillars of light suddenly shot out on the Lord star.
One of the huge pillars of yellow light struck at the spaceship that Ye Feng was riding.
Ye Feng was instantly cold. He was too familiar with this pillar of light, and Liu Wenxuan's death was caused by this thing.
Fortunately, it seems that God is blessing him in the dark. The pillar of light passed by the ship he was on. Aside from the instantaneous collapse of the ship's shield, there was no substantial damage.
With the exception of this yellow pillar, the others were small red beams. However, due to the relatively large number of ships, the ship fleet was inevitably hit. However, the power is not great, and it is basically blocked by the shield.
Only Ye Feng's spaceship was firmly hit by two small beams of light because of the collapse of the shield. This caused some damage and loss of life, but it was not fatal.
Fortunately, all the ships have already gone into space, and the speed has all been raised. Begin to move away from Lord Star quickly.
As the distance grew, there were no more pillars of light coming from Lord's star.
Looks like it's out of range.
Realizing this, everyone cheered excitedly.
"Yay!! We're safe! ”
"I'll be able to go back to my mom alive."
"We're finally out of Lord once and for all."
“……”
Some even couldn't stop crying.
This is the aftermath of the catastrophe!
Ye Feng found that his palms were full of sweat, and even his back was soaked.
Nima, I'm scared to death.
From now on, I can finally get a good night's sleep.
Ye Feng turned his head to look at Alrod and them, and found that several of them were also pale. It is also a picture of the powerlessness of the rest of the catastrophe.
In the bridge of the spaceship where Ye Feng was, Rhodes was listening to the convergence of all the spaceships.
Rhodes breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that all the ships had been safely evacuated.
He had been tense, and as soon as he relaxed, his whole body collapsed weakly on the seat.
After resting for a while, Rhodes' expression regained his composure. Then start giving orders.
"Patrol Ship No. 1 went out to lead the way, and Patrol Ship No. 2 dragged behind to cover. The other ships were de-prepared by one level and entered cruise mode. ”
With Rhodes' order, all spaceships removed their shields and went into energy-saving cruise mode.
With the lifting of combat readiness, except for the crew, Ye Feng and the others can rest.
Once a person is out of danger, his mind is relaxed, and the whole person is extremely tired. As a result, many people dozed off at the same time.
Since it was an emergency evacuation, each transport ship was crowded with people. It would be nice to have a corner for you to sit in. Ye Feng couldn't help but lean against the corner and take a nap in the corner.
Rhodes, after giving the order, also fell asleep on the back of his seat.
As the supreme commander of a planet's garrison, he hadn't slept well since the outbreak of the beast tide, and his nerves had always been tense.
At this time, he didn't have the heart to think about the consequences of evacuating Lord Star without authorization, he really couldn't resist the sleepiness, and began to fall into a deep sleep.
When Rhodes opened his eyes again, he immediately asked the soldier next to him.
"How's it going? Is there an abnormality? ”
"Report to the General, everything is normal at the moment."
"Hmm. Very good! ”
There were no accidents while he was asleep, which reassured Rhodes a lot. Depending on the situation, he only needs to think about how to evacuate without permission if he explains to the above.
Evacuation without orders from superiors is a serious problem.
When he returns to Carlisle Headquarters, there will definitely be big trouble waiting for him.
That's what happened to Rhodes the most.
"It seems that I am afraid that I need to ask the speaker to come out and take care of ......."
Just as Rhodes was talking to himself, there was information access.
"Report to the general. Patrol Ship No. 1 spotted a large fleet approaching ahead. The hazard level is extremely high. ”
This is very urgent news. The crew on the bridge couldn't help but look solemn.
But Rhodes said expressionlessly: "Order, the No. 1 patrol ship will come out and make contact with the other party." ”
A little later, news came from the No. 1 patrol boat ahead. The arrivals were friendly forces, the Seventh Fleet, which had arrived from Carlisle's headquarters for reinforcements. There is a full space strike group and a regiment of interstellar marines.
Such news made the crew very excited, but Rhodes frowned.
It didn't take long for Rhodes to get on the phone with Seventh Fleet Commander Valker.
"Rhodes, aren't you supposed to meet us on Lorde?"
As soon as the other party came up, he questioned.
Rhodes could only say helplessly: "The beast tide has broken out in an all-round way, and there are many fierce beasts above level B. The situation is too critical. I had to give the order to evacuate. ”
"Evacuate without permission, you are a deserter."
"I'm here for the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers."
"It's an excuse. Waste is real! Tens of thousands of people can't even defend a planet with only bugs. In my opinion, the War Department should have been canceled a long time ago. ”
"......" Rhodes's eyes were about to fire. But it can't be-for-tat. The other party is a lieutenant general, he is only a major general, plus he has indeed lost a planet from him. He didn't have the money to speak hard.
"Humph! Follow behind and see how we can help you get the Lord Star back. What a bunch of rubbish! ”
With that, Valker himself cut off the call.
"What, this guy is too arrogant!" The people around who had seen the call were furious.
Rhodes, on the other hand, shook his head and smiled wryly.
"The order goes down. Reversed direction and followed behind the Seventh Fleet. Target, Lord Star. ”
