Chapter XXVI: One-sided Battles

What everyone didn't expect was that the next one to take the lead was still a huge fleet. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

While Zhou Xin's eyes were still focused on the aircraft, the Voyager's prompt sounded, "The fleet has been detected to be activated." ā€

Hearing the Voyager's reminder, everyone shifted their eyes to the other side of the screen, and at this time, the fleet on the screen was completely different from what they had seen before. The fleet, which originally only had only a faint light, now became very bright on the screen, and all the spaceships that Zhou Xin could distinguish on the screen restarted their engines, and the entire fleet looked as dazzling as a small sun.

"Did you finally get the fleet through?" Zhou Xin spoke, and as soon as his words fell, the fleet on the screen had already begun to move slowly with the start of the engine. At this time, Zhou Xin's eyes glanced at the group of flying machines on the other side of the screen, and he found that those flying machines did not give way to a lane with the start of the fleet.

"Why are those flying machines still in place?" Dart also noticed this, and he cried out in surprise.

Attention shifted from the fleet to the aircraft, and after being silent for so long, the group finally made its first move, but instead of making a way for the fleet as everyone expected, they just stayed where they were and started their engines.

Everyone looked at the screen in amazement, and by this time, the fleet had already advanced some distance, and the distance between them and the aircraft was only half of what it was before, but the aircraft still stood still, not moving a single step.

And at this time, the Voyager once again reported: "The fleet is accelerating. "Without the reminder of the Voyager, Zhou Xin and the others also saw this, the distance between the fleet and the aircraft was rapidly approaching, and after a while, the distance between the two sides was about to reach an extremely dangerous point.

"The fleet wants to force its way through." At this time, Dart finally figured out what was going on, and he couldn't help but blurt out.

However, Dart's words were not finished, the aircraft that had been stationary for so long finally began to move, in the face of the approaching fleet, they did not retreat but advanced, about two-thirds of the aircraft broke away from the group and began to rush towards the fleet, while the remaining one-third of the aircraft remained in place, as if trying to block the route of the fleet. The flying machines that were heading towards the fleet were adjusting their formations as they flew, as if they were trying to surround the fleet.

"What do those flying machines want to do?!" Seeing the movement of the aircraft, Zhou Xin asked loudly, and Dart seemed to know what was going to happen next, and he subconsciously closed his eyes.

Just a few seconds after Zhou Xin finished speaking, those flying machines came into direct contact with the fleet. What no one else expected except Dart was that the aircraft did not hesitate to fire after circling the side of the fleet, and almost at the same time, the aircraft that had stayed in place before also fired, and all the aircraft fired in the direction of the fleet.

"What's going on, what are those flying machines going to do?!" Zhou Xin didn't hear what Dart had just blurted out, and he asked in surprise, "Do they know what they're doing?" They're attacking their own people?! The scene he saw in front of him was so surprising that Zhou Xin's words began to become incoherent.

Although the other expressions in the command cabin were also surprised, their emotions were still relatively normal, so they didn't shout out like Zhou Xin, but just looked at the picture on the screen with surprised expressions.

Zhou Xin also reacted that his emotions were too excited after more than ten seconds of incoherent speech, he sorted out his emotions, and then continued to observe everything that happened on the screen.

At this time, the first wave of attacks of the aircraft had already hit the fleet, and the outermost layer of the fleet had begun to erupt with a fire that was brighter than when the engine was running, but just now when Zhou Xin didn't notice it, the fleet had slightly adjusted the formation and moved the large spaceships to the periphery of the fleet, so after the smoke of this wave of attacks dissipated, except for the large spaceships on the periphery had a few more big holes in their bodies, the overall action of the fleet was not affected.

Seeing that it did not stop the progress of the fleet, the aircraft immediately launched a second wave of attacks, this time the attack was more violent than the first, just from the camera of the probe, everyone could see that many explosive projectiles similar to missiles were launched from the aircraft, heading straight towards the fleet.

Just as this wave of attacks hit the fleet, Zhou Xin clearly saw that the entire fleet stalled slightly, and after a short pause of less than a second, the fleet once again rushed in the direction it had previously had.

This time, the large spaceships on the periphery were more miserable, after the smoke cleared, Zhou Xin saw that the ships with the naked eye had more or less large holes, and some of the holes were even penetrating, through that hole, Zhou Xin even saw the spaceships on the inside of the fleet.

At the same time, after withstanding the second wave of attacks, several large ships stopped because they could not withstand too serious damage, and the engine of one of the ships even exploded, and these damaged ships were no longer able to leave the fleet to make way for the ships behind.

However, the attacking aircraft ignored the commotion in the fleet, and seeing that the entire fleet was still advancing, they launched a third wave of attacks, this time, instead of firing at the entire fleet, they concentrated their fire on the front of the fleet, trying to stop the fleet's advance.

After this attack, the entire fleet finally stopped advancing, the ships in the front of the fleet were completely incapacitated in this fierce attack, and the ships in the rear had to stop because they were blocked by the ships in front. At first, there were a few ships at the back of the fleet, which were not very badly damaged, and tried to break away from the fleet, trying to take advantage of the chaos to move on, but the flying machines that were staring at the entire fleet on the periphery obviously would not give these ships fishing in troubled waters a chance. Under the education of a few explosive flying objects, these spaceships that wanted to slip through were paralyzed without exception, and with these spaceships as examples, the other ships in the fleet that still had the power to act rashly no longer dared to act rashly.

Under the three waves of fierce attacks by the aircraft, the entire fleet is now riddled with holes, especially the front of the fleet, which is the focus of the aircraft attack, basically there are no less than ten holes formed by explosions on the shell of each spacecraft, and several spaceships have even been blown off by the waist, and a large number of wreckage and debris are scattered in this area, blocking the path of the spacecraft behind. And the middle and rear parts of the fleet are not much better, although there are no examples of being completely destroyed into wreckage like the previous spaceships, but because in the attack just now, the key part of the aircraft is the engine of the spaceship, so most of the spacecraft have long been incapacitated because the engine was hit or other reasons, only some small spaceships covered by large spaceships on the inside of the fleet still look relatively intact and have not been seriously damaged.

At this time, Zhou Xin saw that the situation on the screen seemed to be reversed from before, and now the entire fleet was completely immobile, but the aircraft was patrolling back and forth around the fleet, monitoring the abnormal behavior of the fleet. At the same time, fleeing ships began to appear in the rear of the fleet again, and for fear of an attack by the aircraft, only a few ships slowly turned at first, trying to escape the entire fleet, and one ship was even a certain distance away from the fleet, but because one of the aircraft seemed to be approaching the ship, it turned back to the fleet in fear. All the ships that escaped were like frightened birds, and any movement of the aircraft would bring them very exaggerated reactions, which looked very hilarious. But everyone in the command cabin was not in the mood to laugh now, they silently watched everything that happened on the screen, and their mood was a little sad. In the footage of the probe, as one or two ships successfully escaped, more and more ships began to turn around and leave the fleet, and the aircraft did not do anything to attack these fleeing ships, as long as they left in a direction other than the direction of the planet, they selectively ignored these departing ships.

Suddenly, Atlas's words broke the silence in the command cabin, "Brother Captain, what happened to you?" After a pause of less than a second, she exclaimed in surprise, "Wow, such a large fleet, how come the spaceships have been destroyed?!" She exclaimed in surprise, and before Zhou Xin could answer, she exclaimed again, "Isn't that a supply ship?" How did it come to be? ā€

"Supply ships? What supply ships? Zhou Xin didn't pay attention to the first half of Atlas's sentence, his attention was attracted by the word "supply ship".

"It's the supply ship that people talked about before to exchange supplies between the planet and the space building." Atlas explained, as she marked the location of the ships on the screen, noting that there were eleven supply ships marked by Atlas, all of which were at the front of the fleet. And of these eleven supply ships, none survived, and the best one also had a large hole in the stern, which was apparently caused by the explosion of the engine. As for the other ten, some of them had many large and small holes in their hulls in addition to the holes in the tail, and the rest were even a few of the spaceships that Zhou Xin had seen broken in two before, and each of them seemed to be very miserable.

"What's going on?" Seeing the ships marked by Atlas, Zhou Xin asked in surprise, "Shouldn't the supply ship be considered an official ship?" How come those flying machines even attack this kind of spaceship, and fight so mercilessly, are we all wrong in our previous judgments? Are the fleets and the aircraft two different hostile forces? ā€

"Impossible." Atlas directly denied Zhou Xin's opinion, "When people observed before, they saw that those supply ships did fly out from the south of the planet, and some of the supply ships flew next to the aircraft in orbit." When the supply ship passed by, the aircraft did not make any movements, and still flew normally in their own orbits. ā€

"So what's going on now?" Zhou Xin asked, looking at the wreckage of the spaceship on the screen.

"People don't know." The little girl shook her head in confusion, "This is impossible, the attitude before and after the change is too fast, how can the attitude be completely different in just a few days?" She muttered to herself, confused.

"Could it be that the control systems of those aircraft have been hacked?" Zhou Xin thought about it and felt that there seemed to be only this possibility.

"It's unlikely." Dart shook his head, "If all of these flying machines were invaded, do you think the people below would not have noticed?" And such a big flying machine, there should be someone operating it inside, could it be that everyone in the aircraft is controlled? What's more, if the aircraft were controlled by someone else, they should have fired directly when they intersected with the ship in the first place, instead of waiting that long. After saying that, he said what he thought, "I think it's very likely that those flying machines are trying to stop the fleet from flying back to the planet. ā€

Hearing Dart's statement, Zhou Xin thought for a while, then nodded, "It makes sense, if this is really the reason, then why the aircraft let the spacecraft leave can be explained, as long as the purpose of the spacecraft is not to return to the planet, then it doesn't matter where they go." But then he had a new question, "But if it's to prevent the spacecraft from returning to the planet, then what is the reason for preventing the spacecraft from going back?" ā€

Dart spread his hands, "I can't see this now, maybe I'll know later, my intuition tells me that the reason is probably not very simple." At this, he showed a thoughtful expression.

Seeing that Dart had no way to analyze more things, Zhou Xin did not continue to ask, but turned his gaze back to the screen. At this time, there were basically no ships left in the rear of the fleet, and the remaining ships were either on the sidelines or had lost the ability to move for various reasons. Although many of the ships left before, at least eighty percent of the ships remained, and now, these ships are slightly scattered together, and from the camera, it looks like a freeze-frame picture.

"Now that so many ships are gathered together and can't move, what's going to happen next? What will the aircraft do with them? Looking at the picture on the screen, Zhou Xin couldn't help but muttered to himself.

As if to answer Zhou Xin's question, shortly after he spoke, the group of aircraft that were monitoring the movement of the fleet made a move......
