Chapter Fifty-Six: An Unexpected Discovery at a Critical Moment

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but be surprised, and Spred blurted out directly in surprise, "How is this possible without an all-out attack?" ”

"But that's just the way it is." After another period of observation, Atlas answered Spred's question, "The overall situation is as Dart's big brother just said, the other party did make a lot of meaningless moves in the attack, and it is obvious that they still have some spare strength. ”

While the little girl was observing the entire battlefield, Zhou Xin and the others were also carefully looking at the local battle footage sent back by the detector on the screen. With Dart's clear reminder and then observing, everyone did find a lot of strange things in the battle shown on camera. Generally speaking, those attackers obviously have a considerable advantage, but in actual action, they are even more timid than the underwater attackers on Zhou Xin's side as the defender, and they can even be called timid. There were several times when Zhou Xin saw that the other party had a clear chance to destroy the underwater attacker in front of him, but they stopped attacking the current target and turned to other targets, and on several occasions, the other party was obviously pursuing smoothly, but then for some reason, those pursuers suddenly turned awkwardly and headed in a direction where there was no target at all.

"What the hell is going on with them? Why? The repeated appearance of similar images in the picture made everyone present more and more confused, and after Atlas finished speaking, Spred finally couldn't help it, and he asked. But no one could answer this question at this time.

"Could it be that there is some kind of conspiracy hidden in this series of anomalous operations?" Dart made his own guess thoughtfully, but then he retorted, "But is it necessary?" The other party obviously occupies such a big advantage, is there any need to play any tricks? ”

"Brother Captain, Brother Dart, now is not the time to think about this." Just when everyone was deep in thought, Zhou Xin suddenly heard Atlas's anxious voice, "Although the other party's behavior looks a little strange, no matter how strange it is, they still occupy the initiative on the battlefield, you better think about how we should deal with their attacks now." ”

This sentence made Zhou Xin and the others once again shift their attention to the entire battle situation, and at the same time, the little girl had already begun to give the order to shrink the defense line for the third time. After this contraction, the entire front line is less than ten kilometers away from the actual mining site on the planet. The situation has reached a critical point.

Glancing at the real-time situation map of the battlefield, Zhou Nobunaga sighed, "I can't say, we can only give up that place." Then he asked Atlas, "Have you packed up all the mining equipment or anything?" ”

"It's a lot worse." Atlas shook his head solemnly, "They appeared so suddenly, they didn't have time to pack all the equipment in such a short period of time. ”

"Try to be as fast as possible, there may not be much time left." Zhou Xin frowned and reminded, "Focus on cleaning up those key equipment, and some less important equipment should simply give up." ”

"Well, people get it."

"Oh, by the way, send the probes in the rear that have no offensive power to the front line, and try to delay the retreat of the mining equipment a little longer." After getting the little girl's response, Zhou Xin added again.

However, the role of the probe in the battle is only to help those underwater attackers block some of the opponent's attacks, and will not have a decisive impact on the situation on the entire battlefield, and the entire front is still losing ground because it cannot withstand the fierce attacks of the opponent. Because the ultimate goal is to hold the mining point, for the current situation, Zhou Xin and the others have no way to come up with any more flexible tactics, so they can only watch the various units, including the probe, hold the defense line.

"Huh?" Just when Zhou Xin was anxious about the situation on the battlefield, Atlas's voice suddenly sounded in his ears. Although the sound was not loud, it was quite clear in the quiet command cabin at this time.

"What's wrong?" Zhou Xin immediately asked.

"Uh-people have noticed that after the probes entered the war, the other side seems to have become more cautious." The little girl spoke out of her findings in a hesitant tone.

"Really?" This discovery immediately caught Zhou Xin's attention, and he subconsciously confirmed, saying that he turned his attention to the picture sent back by the detector.

"It should beβ€”that's for sure." Having said that, Atlas replied with obvious uncertainty in his tone, "It has been found that after the probes entered the battle, the frequency of the opponent's abnormal evasive actions increased significantly, while on the contrary, their attack frequency and hit rate decreased a lot. ”

"What is the reason for this?" After listening to the little girl's report, Dart immediately asked suspiciously, "Is there a mistake in your statistics?" Obviously, they are probes with no combat effectiveness, how can their participation in the war cause such a big impact? ”

"People have counted it several times, and the data is definitely not wrong." This time, the little girl's answer was quite affirmative, "But the detailed reasons cannot be analyzed for the time being, and it is not even clear how much the reason for this situation has to do with the probe's participation in the war." ”

"Maybe it's just a coincidence?" After listening to Atlas's explanation, Dart made his own analysis, "It's just that at the same time as the probe entered the war, the other party made such a change?" ”

But Zhou Xin didn't believe that such a coincidence existed, and he looked at the situation of the battle between the two sides in the picture and fell into deep thought. Although he had carefully observed the strange actions of the other party before, because the main thoughts at that time were all focused on how to deal with the overall battle situation, Zhou Xin did not observe the abnormal movements themselves in depth and detail at that time. But this time it was different, after a period of careful observation, Zhou Xin vaguely felt that he seemed to have seen similar actions before. Just as he was trying to reminisce, a shot on the screen reminded him-

It was a probe that suddenly broke into the path of an attacker, and it stands to reason that it was just a probe with no attack power, and it was not a threat at all. But Zhou Xin didn't expect the other party's next reaction to be so great, after discovering the detector, it quickly changed its direction as if it was facing a great enemy, and even ignored the target it was pursuing. Then, after moving away from the detector, the attacker re-selected a new target to pursue.

"Could it be such a β€”β€”?" His eyes were firmly fixed on the probe that suddenly broke in, and Zhou Xin muttered to himself thoughtfully......
