Chapter Twenty-Three: A Difficult Siege

Under such a chase and escape, the two sides gradually came to the edge of this underwater city.

Although the probes have no combat effectiveness, they are far outnumbered by the other party. Therefore, the other party's initial escape did not attract Zhou Xin's attention, he just kept paying attention to the picture on the screen. However, it didn't take long for Zhou Xin to start realizing that something was wrong, and when the building in front of the picture disappeared, he finally realized what was wrong.

"Stop them, don't let them run." Zhou Xin shouted.

Without Zhou Xin's reminder, Atlas also guessed what the other party wanted to do, and she controlled the detector to surround it. However, due to the initial surprise attack and the ensuing chaos, there are no detectors in the direction of the other party's escape at this time. As for the detectors on the side, it was obviously too late to get in front of the other party. And just like that, it didn't take long for the other party to rush out from the encirclement of the detectors in the rear of the side.

Seeing that the detector in the picture had been left far behind by the other party, Zhou Xin was obviously a little disappointed. However, what happened next was completely unexpected by everyone in the command module. After the other party broke away from the pursuit of the probe, he did not flee directly to the deep sea as Zhou Xin and the others expected, but directly surrounded a large circle outside, and then turned around and attacked the probe again.

Such an unexpected move made many people, including Zhou Xin, stunned. It wasn't until the probe was attacked again that they realized what they were doing. But even after reacting, Zhou Xin and the others felt even more confused.

This time, it was Atlas who reacted the fastest. Before the other party could attack, he controlled the probe to meet him, intending to approach and surround the other party. However, the other party, who had been prepared for a long time, would not let the little girl's approach succeed at all. They simply turned around and launched a wave of attacks before turning again, leaving the probe behind once again. After that, the other party kept a safe distance from the detector and continued to attack.

"It's strange, what are they trying to do, do they want to wipe out our probes completely?" When the other party turned around and attacked for the first time, Zhou Xin had already reacted, and he subconsciously muttered to himself.

"In any case, the other party must be a high-level intelligent life. If it's just an ordinary living form, it's impossible to turn back. At this time, Dart also came to his senses, and he affirmed, "Not only that, but they also showed a high degree of organization in the previous attacks, which is obviously not something that ordinary creatures can do. ”

"Brother Captain, what should we do now?" Atlas asked, embarrassed. Due to the speed gap with the other party, the detector can't catch up with the other party now, and if you choose to escape, I'm afraid that what you're waiting for is the other party's pursuit, and the little girl doesn't know what to do all of a sudden.

At this time, Zhou Xin's brows also furrowed, looking at the picture on the screen, he thought for a while, and then said: "It's better to find a way to find out the identity of the other party first, it doesn't matter if the detector loses some." If you let them disappear again this time, you don't know when the other party will appear again. ”

After receiving Zhou Xin's instructions, Atlas immediately went into action. Despite the obvious gap in speed to the other side, she controlled the probe to follow the cylinders as closely as possible. At the same time, some of the probes scattered in all directions, trying to intercept them while the other party was turning.

"Who the hell are they? Why attack our detectors? While the probe was moving, Zhou Xin asked again suspiciously. However, at this time, all the people around him were as confused as him, and no one opened their mouths to answer.

On the other hand, the probe's every move seems to be after the other party's observation. In the footage, the probes had just dispersed to arouse the vigilance of the other party, and their actions had noticeably become more cautious. Next, they sometimes preferred to make a big detour or give up the attack rather than give the probe the slightest chance of catching up.

"Why is the other side so obsessed with attacking our detectors?" Looking at those cylinders that did not choose to escape back to the deep sea or give up the attack in this situation, Zhou Xin felt extremely incomprehensible.

"Maybe they don't think our probes are a threat and can be completely eliminated." Also looking at the detector on the screen that was attacked by the other party flying a kite, Dart replied helplessly.

"The point is, what is the reason for their attack?" Spred then asked, "There's no way they're going to attack us for no reason." ”

"Brother Captain, nearly a third of the probes near us have been destroyed." Before Dart could be given time to answer, Atlas's voice rang out.

Such a serious loss was already a bit unexpected by Zhou Xin, and a hesitant look appeared on his face. After some thought, he still made up his mind, "Continue to catch up, and in addition, let all the nearby probes rush over to reinforce it." You have to find out the identity of the other party. ”

With Zhou Xin's order, more and more detectors came to the position where the two sides were in contact. Since the detectors that came from behind were not within the scope of the other party's detection at first, and they came from all directions, this caused a lot of trouble for those cylinders to dodge. On this occasion, several probes brought the two sides closer than ever before. Unfortunately, before they could get close enough to capture a clear picture, the detectors were discovered and destroyed.

However, no matter how careful the other party is, there is still no way to take care of the situation that a detector will appear in all directions. Soon, several other probes found an opportunity to rush to their immediate vicinity. Although the probes were also quickly eliminated, in the confusion, one of the cylinders seemed to be operating wrong, and instead of following the other companions to turn in a new direction, it rushed straight in the direction of a dozen probes. Such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Atlas naturally would not miss it, and she controlled the dozen or so probes to outflank it at the first time.

However, the next scene that everyone did not expect happened. After finding that it was too late to turn, let alone destroy the dozen or so detectors rushing in front of him, the cylinder exploded in the eyes of everyone......
