It slowly flew towards the Explorer Fleet, like a bullet in slow motion, calmly waiting for someone to spot it.

The Wardens of the Rings discovered it early on, but for the sake of insurance, they didn't immediately tell the Wardens of the other starships. Who would know what's inside that silver-white escape pod?

They sent men to continue the observation on the bridge, and after a few hours, the observation entered the Ring's scanning frequency range. The result of the AI's inspection of the escape pod using radar is that it has a strong vital index. This excites the watchman, and if the voyage is correct, it must be the remnant of the departer.

The Wardens of the Star Ring hurriedly called a meeting of all the Watchers, but as soon as the news was sent, an unmanned capture aircraft flew towards the escape pod, it was the Impact's drone, and they couldn't be mistaken.

They watched as the arms of the drone grabbed the tail of the escape pod before starting the engine and returning to the Impact.

Because the detection devices of the Star Ring and the Impact are of the same model, it is inevitable that the Shock keepers will find the escape pod. The Warden of the Star Ring can only send the entire message again: Impact has captured the escape pod.

After about five minutes, 50 of the different starship keepers gathered in their respective conference rooms, this time chaired by Winona, the explorer of the Berlinerin.

She stood upright, observing the Shock Keeper on the AR cloud. She asked, "Shock Keepers, why are there only 5 of you here?" ”

This is not something that everyone cares about, they lazily bow their heads, just want to know the situation of the escape pod.

"Winona, the explorer, and the other 4 guards are rescuing the survivors, and his body is so damaged that the robot can't complete the precise operation." A small man from the Impact stood up and replied.

"Who's the escapee?" Winona asked, looking up.

This was right to everyone, and they looked up and looked at the little man in reply.

"The preliminary judgment of the appearance is the captain of the exploration ship that set off - Yu Linhan."

The crowd was silent, all voices stopped abruptly, and five seconds later, He Chuan, the caretaker of the Century, raised his hand and said, "He shouldn't be the only one, we should increase the scanning frequency to conduct an all-round search." ”

"But ......," said the little man, "we are on the same course as the Voyager, and its speed is not much different from ours, unless we continue to speed up to find the wreckage." ”

"Guardian of the Century, your idea was not feasible yesterday. We've accelerated to one-seventh of the speed of light, turned off our engines and drifted through space. ”

"I didn't mean that, I don't think it's just Halo Han's escape from the Voyager Exploration Ship."

Winona nodded, looked at the little man and said, "We all understand, so let's ask the keepers of the Ring and Impact to continue scanning interstellar space." ”

"Okay, we're obliged." The two starship keepers spoke.

"Now, then, adjourn the meeting." Winona announced simply.

As soon as the words fell, everyone showed surprised expressions, they didn't understand, the meeting had only started for a few minutes, why did it have to adjourn?

Winona said, "Isn't the purpose of the meeting to tell everyone that our guess is correct? As to whether the pioneers really attacked them, we will have to wait for the awakening of the Halo Linhan before we can discuss it. She walked away, which also meant a pause in the meeting.

The theme of the meeting was: Captain Voyager has escaped from the exploration ship.

However, many of the caretakers were unaware of a problem, and Winona noticed this subtle difference before abruptly interrupting the adjournment. She's going to inspect Woo Linhan and the escape pod that carries him herself.

Winona didn't inform the other starship keepers, and even the guards on her own starship only said "I'm going to rest" to perfunctory. She flew the ship to the Impact alone, and when questioned by the other party, she said, "I'm an explorer, I have the right to go anywhere!" ”

She knew that other starships could detect their ships, but it wasn't abrupt, it depended on whether they were on the bridge or not.

After the ship passed through the inner liner and docked on the Impact's landing deck, Winona jumped out and pulled the caretaker who had come to receive her, "Where's Halo Han?" Where's his escape pod? ”

"Medical department." The other party replied, and then Winona asked to lead the way. He looked dazed, but didn't notify the other caretakers.

As soon as the two arrived at the medical department, Winona rushed to the emergency department, knowing that she was doing the right thing and that she needed to be the first to know.

Rushing inside, the first thing she saw was a naked man in a clear jug, surrounded by 4 guards operating the instrument.

The man was covered in tubes, and just as Winona was about to ask a question, one of the guards stood up and said, "Winona, Explorer, you don't have to go through any trouble running over. ”

"I need to know firsthand." Her voice caught the attention of the others, and she continued to ask, "How is Halo Han?" ”

"The internal organs of the body are seriously damaged, and the brain tissue is damaged to varying degrees, but it has been out of danger for three months."

"What?"

"His body is dormant from hypothermia, or he'll ......," the man shrugged, "and he'll wake up later." ”

"I hope so." Winona turned and walked out quickly, just in time to bump into the caretaker who had received her. The caretaker hurriedly asked, "What else do you need?" ”

"Take me to see the escape pod."

"Then please follow me." He shook his head and thought: What would cause this strong woman to care?

They made their way to the research department, where a white cloth was covering the escape pod. Winona pulled it away, watched it quietly for a few seconds, and asked, "I'm okay with touching it, right?" ”

"Of course." The caretaker stood aside and replied.

Winona pushed open the closed door, searching for something in the cramped cabin, grabbed a thread and pulled it out with all her might. She held it in front of her eyes and gasped to herself, "The Pioneer Landston is owned by the battleship. ”

"Damn it!" She yelled, "They captured the crew!" ”

"What do you mean?" The caretaker asked.

"The Harbingham is carrying the Pioneer Langston's escape pod, which means that the Voyagers were caught on the starship." She added: "Very likely. ”

The caretaker was confused and asked, "Then why did they send him back?" ”

"I don't know, maybe they can't be treated after they commit violence, or maybe something else."

Winona left the place, and she went to the medical department, where she waited for good news. He understood that the survival of Huo Linhan was not easy to explain.

Why didn't the departer send a distress signal? Why did the Halo carry the Lanston's escape pod? Winona needs to gather her thoughts.

She hypothesized many possibilities, the most of which made her believe the captive.

She thought: A few months ago, the Langston had spotted the Voyager Exploration Ship and had quietly approached them thanks to its superior concealment. When the distance is sufficient, attack and block their distress signals, then capture them all, and threaten the crew with the personal safety of the captain Woo Linhan to reveal the location of the explorer fleet.

That's a good guess, but the Langston's distress signal is a doubtful one. This is completely illogical.

A caretaker arrives and informs Winona that she has awakened and is in good spirits. He was in Ward 1.

That's the good news.

Winona rushed to Ward 1, she couldn't wait to say all her problems, everyone wanted to know what he was going through.

Winona walked in and the first thing she heard was, "I did my best, and my crew is dead." It was a helpless, deep voice.

She saw Yu Linhan lying on the bed, staring blankly at the person in front of the door.

"Hi...... Are you a living person? He laughed miserably and shook his head and asked, "Am I in heaven?" ”

Winona paced closer, "I'm alive, we're all alive. You're in the Explorer Fleet Impact. ”

Yu Linhan looked at his hands and asked, "How did I survive?" ”

"We found the can-like escape pod, and you're inside." Winona said, "I don't know anything about what you went through, so please describe the situation." ”

He covered his mouth and choked, "My ship was hit hard by the pioneers without warning, and they then destroyed all the escape boats without letting go of a single crew. Afterward...... Then I steered the boat like a sparrow crashing into the lion's mouth of the Lanston. ”

"It's a mystery that you'll survive." Winona furrowed her eyebrows and asked, "Any other information?" ”

"Luo Ming, she is the captain of the Lanston, she has betrayed all mankind and the entire solar system!" He gritted his teeth and said, his fists clenched suddenly.

"Luo Ming is one of the pioneers." Winona said, "She is exactly what you say. ”

"If you know, it's good."

"But there were times when she sent out a distress signal."

"And then?" He raised his head and raised his eyebrows.

Winona replied, "We sent a rescuer to determine if anyone survived. ”

"I can assure you that the Lanceton has been badly damaged, but the Pioneers may not need help, it would be too risky for you to do so."

"For humanitarian reasons, the rescuer will not bring anyone back."

"Ignore their cries for help, but move on."

Winona walked up to the window, touched her chin and said, "You mean - the Herald's distress signal is a hoax?" ”

"That's right, since they've escaped the solar system, they're no longer human."

Winona suddenly realized that something was wrong, that everyone in the meeting had ignored humanity, and that she and the caretakers were naïve enough to think that the Pioneers were just trapped there.
