In the blink of an eye, it was a new day, and when Zhou Xin came to the command module early to observe the early morning of the town, he was told by Atlas that the townspeople had gone to work early. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Looking at the picture that the probe had just sent back, Zhou Xin felt a little surprised, in the lens, the star had just appeared about halfway out of the horizon, and the whole town still looked a little dim. In the dim morning, the street lamps on both sides of the street are faithfully fulfilling their duties and glowing brightly, while in the buildings on both sides of the street, all the lights are still off, and it seems as if all the townspeople are still asleep. Of course, the most notable of these is that the cars that crowded the roads last night are now gone.

"When did they get up?" After glancing at the screen a few times, Zhou Xin asked curiously.

"An hour ago." Atlas replied, "Almost twenty minutes ago, everyone had already left in their cars. As he spoke, an hour earlier appeared on the screen at the same time.

On the screen, Zhou Xin saw that the first picture showed a quiet town at night, but in the next picture, all the buildings were lit up almost at the same time. After a while, the street lamps and the lights in the corridor also came on at the same time. Ten minutes later, a small number of townsfolk could be seen coming out of the hallway. Many people's faces showed that they had not woken up yet, and after walking out of the corridor, these people almost did not stop, and walked directly towards the car that was parked on the road last night. As time passed, more and more townspeople began to emerge from the hallway, and like the previous ones, everyone lined up and walked straight to the car parked on the road. Half an hour or so, no one has come out of all the corridors in the shot, almost all the townspeople have already gotten into the car, after everyone got into the car, the vehicles that were originally quietly parked on the road started at the same time, after being slightly raised, these vehicles did not even turn around, directly took the rear of the car as the front of the car and began to move forward, and then it was like the reverse of yesterday's picture, there were cars constantly gathering from various branch roads to the avenue, and the whole convoy began to slowly leave the town.

The evacuation of the convoy was orderly and very fast, and in just five minutes, the last car had already left the town. Next, the picture in the town was the same as what Zhou Xin saw at the beginning, except for the street lights were still on, the other scenes were no different from what he saw during the day yesterday, and the whole town looked very lonely, as if it had been forgotten by the world.

Zhou Xin stared at the empty town for a while, and the picture on the screen changed again, this time switching to the picture that the probe had just captured. In this shot, the star of the galaxy has fully emerged from the horizon, and at the same time, all the street lights have been extinguished, and the whole town is suddenly shrouded in orange-red light. Sadly, however, there was no one in the town to enjoy such a beautiful early morning at this time.

Looking at the early morning of the small town on the screen, Zhou Xin was slightly stunned for a moment, and then he remembered something, "Atlas, have you sent a probe to keep up with that convoy?" ”

"Of course there is." The little girl nodded, "The convoy is about thirty kilometers from the town now, and they are still moving on. At the same time, the screen switches to a topographical map of the vicinity of the town.

In the map, Zhou Xin saw that the entire convoy was heading towards the coastline, but instead of going straight, they were following a winding route through the garbage mountains. From the perspective of the sky, you can see that the car is moving slowly like a tiny ant compared to the tall mountain of garbage around it, and the surrounding garbage seems to be drowning the entire convoy at any moment, which is really unbelievable.

Not long after the convoy appears on the screen, a fork in the road appears in the probe's footage, and some of the vehicles in the convoy turn along the fork in the road. In the following part of the journey, there are constantly forks in the road of different sizes, and every time they encounter a fork in the road, there is always a part of the car that will drive along the fork in the road in another direction. Since there was only one detector tracking the convoy, it had no choice but to ignore the vehicles heading for the fork in the road and choose to follow the large convoy. By this time, however, it was already clear from the sky that the entire convoy had lost at least half. Fifteen minutes later, the convoy had shrunk to only a tenth of its original size, but by this time, there were no new forks in the road, and the small convoy continued along the only road.

However, it didn't go far before Atlas reported the alarm sent back by the probe, "Brother Captain, the probe found that there is a vehicle of this civilization not far ahead, it seems to be patrolling, and the probe sent back a message asking if it wants to continue tracking the convoy?" ”

Although he really wanted the probe to continue to follow the convoy, in order not to be discovered, Zhou Xin made a regrettable decision after a little thought, "Let the probe stop in place, don't go any further." ”

In the footage that followed, the convoy gradually moved away from the camera of the probe. In the end, Zhou Xin vaguely saw that the rest of the entire convoy seemed to have entered a gate after continuing to advance for a short distance, and then completely disappeared from the field of vision of the probe.

Looking at the convoy that disappeared from the screen, Zhou Xin's tone seemed a little uncertain, "The convoy seems to have entered the gate?" ”

"That's right, the whole convoy did drive through a gate." Atlas affirmed, and then her tone seemed a little abrupt, "No wonder the probes couldn't be found in a nearby factory before, so they all hid underground?" ”

"Underground?" Zhou Xin also understood, he patted his head, "Why didn't you think of it before, since there is no ground on the ground, it can only be underground." Then he muttered to himself, confused, "But why did they go to such trouble to build all the factories underground?" ”

"In order not to be discovered by hostile civilizations." Dart's voice came from behind Zhou Xin, who just happened to hear the last conversation between Zhou Xin and Atlas, and walked up to Zhou Xin's side, Dart continued, "Based on the information we have obtained before, I think there is a high probability that these factories are all military factories, if this is the case, then it is natural that all these factories are built underground. ”

"It's a real possibility." After listening to Dart's words, Zhou Xin thought for a moment and agreed with him, looking at the empty road on the screen, Zhou Xin ordered, "Atlas, let the probe search along the previous fork in the road to see where the previous convoys went." ”

"No problem."

After explaining this matter, Zhou Xin turned his perspective back to space and observed the current situation of the two civilizations, but at this moment, the two civilizations on the surface of the planet still did not have any new moves, and the only obvious move was that there were traces of thirty or forty new warships in some places on the surface of the planet. In just half an hour, Zhou Xin scanned the various movements on the surface of the planet reported by the Voyager. After reading it, he thought about it, and then found that there seemed to be nothing to pay attention to for the time being, and after asking the Voyager and Atlas, the answer he got was that everything was going on normally, and suddenly Zhou Xin felt a little surprised, and after thinking for a while, he finally decided to give himself a half-day off.

But as if he was against him, as soon as this thought popped up in Zhou Xin's heart, things came to the door.

"Your Excellency, the ships have a new operation." Just as Zhou Xin was thinking about where he should go to relax, the voice of the Voyager interrupted his train of thought.

"How many ships? Which ships? Zhou Xin asked with a puzzled face.

"It's the same spacecraft that were docked on the small satellite near L4 before."

Even under the reminder of the Voyager, it took Zhou Xin a long time to remember, and his tone seemed a little uncertain: "What are you talking about- those ships of the Third Force?" ”

"That's right." Voyager replied, "Just now, those ships left that little satellite. ”

"Left?" Zhou Xin continued to ask, "In what direction did they fly?" ”

"I don't know." Zhou Xin's answer surprised Zhou Xin, "The direction of flight of these spaceships is erratic, and it seems that there is no very certain destination. ”

"It doesn't look like they want people to discover their destination." Dart began, "This is an obvious anti-detection method. ”

Zhou Xin nodded and instructed the Traveler, "Follow them, don't let them get rid of it." ”

"Understood."

After tracking for more than half a day, the spacecraft circled back and forth in a large area several times, and even released a lot of decoys to mislead, and finally headed for their true destination. At the moment when they turned, the Voyager immediately analyzed the flight paths of the ships.

"Now those ships are heading towards the largest satellite." The Voyager's report was a bit surprising, but it was reasonable.

"The satellite?" Dart said thoughtfully, "They are so bold, I think there are two civilization bases on that satellite." So that none of them were discovered? ”

"The most dangerous places are also the safest." Zhou Xin continued, "It's not impossible for the third force to hide here, and we may not be able to be sure that their base is really here now-who knows if their current direction is not misleading us?" ”

As if to confirm Zhou Xin's words, not long after he finished his guess, the spaceships really changed course again and continued to move in a new direction.

"Where are they going?" This change of direction made Dart puzzled.

"Who knows." Zhou Xin's tone was a little helpless, "Just let the probe continue to follow, anyway, as long as you don't lose it, sooner or later you will know where they are going." ”

After more than half an hour, the spacecraft finally pointed in the direction of the satellite after making a few turns.

"It's not going to change this time." After listening to the Voyager's report on the ship's latest movements, Dart spoke.

As Dart said, the spacecraft did not change course, but flew straight towards the satellite. Zhou Xin noticed that behind the satellite that appeared on the screen, a little edge of the star was exposed.

"It seems that they still thought about it when they chose the location." Zhou Xin said thoughtfully, "In this position, you can indeed avoid the detection of the two civilizations on the satellite, and at the same time, you can also avoid the bases of the two civilizations on the satellite." In order to facilitate communication with Songxing, although the two bases were built on both sides of the satellite, they were still slightly biased in the direction of Songxing. Now the location of these spacecraft is just the blind spot of the two bases on the satellite, and the satellite and any means of detection on the base will be obscured by the satellite itself.

Dart nodded approvingly, "Indeed, the location was just right-"

Before he finished his words, the battleship on the screen stopped thousands of kilometers away from the satellite, and after a long time, the ships remained in place, showing no signs of moving forward again. Seeing this situation, Zhou Xin couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.

"What are they going to do?" Seeing that the spaceship on the screen had not moved, Zhou Xin finally couldn't help but ask.

However, his question went unanswered, as everyone present was equally puzzled by the ship's movements. However, although he didn't know what the ships were trying to do, Dart guessed: "I don't think they will stop here for long, after all, there is no place where the ships are located right now." And did you notice, the ship's engine is not turned off, and even the tail flame is not weakened. ”

"Hmm." Zhou Xin obviously noticed what Dart said, he nodded, and then continued to stare at the spaceship on the screen without speaking.

After a few minutes, the spaceships on the screen finally started to move again, and Zhou Xin and the others finally knew why the spacecraft had stopped.

The spacecraft that was originally heading for the satellite changed its course again, and they flew a short distance around the satellite in an arc. Not long after they moved, the probe spotted three vehicles on the side of the satellite that the spacecraft had bypassed, appearing to be patrolling.

"So they're dodging the aircraft?" As soon as he saw those flying machines, Zhou Xin immediately understood.

The vehicle then appeared in the probe's field of view for less than a minute, then flew to the other side of the satellite and disappeared from the screen. After the vehicle disappeared, the spacecraft turned back and continued to approach the surface of the satellite......
