Chapter 35 The Situation Changed Abruptly
Due to the fatigue of the previous successive trips, the few people who boarded the spaceship really had a good rest for a few days. There were also exchanges during the period, but Long Xingyi seemed to be deliberately avoiding something and rarely went out. He always felt that things were wrong, when he went to the Light Tower Star, he was still a brigadier general of the Earth Star Alliance, and with him came Yin Yuting, Pei Xiling, Luo Bing and Long Haoqian, and now, Luo Bing and Pei Xiling's cold bodies are lying in the coffin on the lower level of the spaceship, replaced by Lei Ling, who is also a friend, and Ying Xiaotong, who met for the first time, he is already a major in the interstellar special forces. Long Xingyi deeply felt that the cruelest thing in the world is nothing more than things and people.
These days, the Hades Sea side is also cooperating with Bai Duchuan, secretly investigating the Japanese generals, and there has been no news for a few days. Long Xingyi was also embarrassed to take the initiative to inquire about the progress of the investigation of the Stygian Sea, leaving only a faint apprehension in his heart.
In the whole spaceship, the lightest thing seems to be the Ming Xiaotong who has just joined, she is not very familiar with the two martyrs at the lower level, so she does not cherish too much memory, but like a child, she can always find new things to pass the time, and Long Xingyi's heart is also a capital "service".
After a few days of sailing, Long Xingyi was also resting and full of energy. On this day, he had nothing to do, walked up to the bridge, and wanted to talk to the captain to relieve his boredom, but saw the captain standing there with a sad face.
"How's it going, has there been any news from the Star Alliance?" Long Xingyi stepped forward and asked lightly.
The captain shook his head heavily, "No, to be exact, there is no news. ”
Long Xingyi frowned and continued to ask, "Is there no news at all?" Neither the Covenant space station nor the moon base? ”
The captain shook his head silently, and after a few seconds, he spoke, "It's as if we were abandoned, or...... The Covenant is gone. ”
A shadow was cast over Long Xingyi's heart, and he didn't know the situation in the solar system at the moment. The last time I spoke to the Stygian Sea through an encrypted radio station was two days ago. He only said that Okamoto of the Japanese country seemed to be a little nervous, and he didn't say anything more, so he hung up the phone briefly.
Don't......
"How long do we have to get to the solar system?" Long Xingyi asked suddenly.
The captain was stunned for a moment, and replied, "Soon, within two hours." ”
"What about Lei Ling? Has he ever been here? ”
"I've been here, Commander Lei Ling should be in his room now, and he told us to notify him as soon as we contact the headquarters." The captain reported.
Long Xingyi thought for a while, Lei Ling and I should have the same question in mind. Then he said to the captain, "Prepare for battle!" He left the confused captain behind and went straight to Lei Ling's room.
In the corridor, Long Xingyi met Yin Yuting and Ming Xiaotong, who were talking and laughing, and it seemed that these two beauties had enhanced a lot of friendship these days.
"Panicked, why are you going?" Yin Yuting saw Long Xingyi's expression, stopped laughing with Ming Xiaotong and asked.
"Things are not good, let's go, go to Lei Lingna." Long Xingyi said, continuing to walk forward without stopping.
Yin Yuting glanced back at Ming Xiaotong, became serious and followed. Ming Xiaotong was stunned, and also kept up with the pace of the two.
The three of them knocked on Lei Ling's door, only to see that Lei Ling's desk was on the encrypted radio station he had brought when he left the Light Tower Star, but what was displayed on the screen was "no connection", and Long Haoqian was sitting next to him with an anxious expression.
"Something's wrong." As soon as Long Xingyi entered the room, he went straight to the point.
Lei Ling nodded, "I have a sense of foreboding these days, maybe your mission to rescue me has made a big noise. ”
"What's wrong?" Ying Xiaotong, who has always been optimistic and lively, finally became a little uneasy.
"We're with the Covenant...... To be precise, it has lost contact with the entire solar system. Lei Ling was silent for a moment and spoke.
"I can't contact the encrypted radio station, will it be ......," Long Xingyi asked with speculation.
"No, my grandfather won't have an accident." Shen Xiaotong had already understood what Long Xingyi meant, and his eyes were full of horror and said: "He must have encountered some major military situation, so he can't contact you for a while, he won't have an accident!" ”
Lei Ling stepped forward and patted Ming Xiaotong's shoulder gently, and said comfortingly: "Don't worry, Xiaotong, you and I both know your grandfather's ability, and I also believe that he will not have an accident, but now it seems that he must have encountered something difficult." ”
"Let's go back and save him!" Ming Xiaotong said anxiously.
The spaceship radio suddenly sounded: "Now the whole ship is in a state of readiness, all staff please return to their posts." ”
"You notified?" Lei Ling asked Long Xingyi, and Long Xingyi nodded. Lei Ling also nodded meaningfully and said, "It's okay." Let's get ready, too! Prepare for the worst to be prepared. Hope is just a false alarm. ”
Time passed minute by minute, and several people were like ants on a hot pot, anxious. The Covenant is the only remaining headquarters of humanity, and now that the entire Covenant has lost contact, if it really encounters an accident, it will be a catastrophe for the entire human race.
Finally, the spaceship radio sounded again: "The spaceship is about to get out of warp speed, please get ready." Long Xingyi and Lei Ling glanced at each other and ran to the cab in unison.
When the group reached the bridge, the ship was just out of warp speed and came not far away from the Earth-Moon galaxy. As soon as the picture became clear, everyone present was stunned at the same time. What greeted them was the devastated moon and the fire of the Covenant space station.
"How so...... The starship has already completed its mission and returned to the solar system, with the starship here, how can we be so badly damaged? Lei Ling looked at everything in front of him and asked in fear.
"Maybe these wrecks are from starships...... the captain said, pointing to the debris that kept floating next to the ship.
"Search for signs of life." Lei Ling looked ahead with a somewhat dull gaze and said to the captain.
After a few moments, the captain reported: "There are no signs of life on the surface of the moon, but there are still signs of life near Mars." ”
"There are still hundreds of spaceships under the starship formation, and it is impossible to wipe them all out! There must be survivors, will ......" Before Lei Ling's words were finished, the spaceship shook violently, and the alarm sounded in an instant.
"The ship has been attacked!" The captain shouted. But there was no need for him to say it, and those present had already seen that from the back of the earth, many small bright spots flew densely, and in the void in front of them, a huge starship also faintly appeared. Long Xingyi couldn't be more familiar with this technology, this is a four-dimensional space battleship.
"We've been ambushed......" Lei Ling said in a deep voice.
Long Xingyi looked back at the panicked expressions of everyone present, and then turned around and asked, "Our firepower ......?"
Lei Ling didn't wait for him to finish before he shook his head. On the contrary, Long Haoqian explained on the side: "We are an ordinary medium-sized spaceship, and it is not a battleship, and its firepower is not at the same level as theirs. ”
"Activate the protective cover!" The captain shouted to his first mate. But before he could finish speaking, the ship shook violently again, knocking everyone down.
The first mate struggled to get up, looked at the gauge on the screen in front of him, and reported to the captain: "The protective cover generator is destroyed and the protection cannot be activated. ”
The captain seemed to be instantly deflated, sat down in his chair, and whispered, "Fight back." He closed his eyes in agony.
surrounded...... What to do? Long Xingyi's mind flashed quickly in his mind the "Art of War" that he had read in his spare time before, there was no Jedi left, the siege was plotting, and the death was fighting...... Now it seems that our side does not have the slightest advantage, and the other side has taken advantage of the time and place...... Location?
Long Xingyi struggled to gain a foothold in the violent shaking and looked at the huge blue planet in front of him. The Skynet covering its outer layer was also incomplete at this time.
Long Xingyi patted Lei Ling, who was lying on the glass in front of the bridge, and asked, "It's been so long since the Skynet project, can the earth land now?" ”
Lei Ling looked back at him in astonishment, thought for a moment and replied: "Can it be can, but the main cities of the earth have been destroyed by ourselves, and we don't know if the beasts have been cleaned up, we are equivalent to going to a strange planet, and we are also isolated and helpless......"
"Do you want to fight them to the death here, or try to go back to our home planet and hide?" Long Xingyi asked.
Lei Ling thought for a moment, as if he had made up his mind, and his eyes became firm. He turned back to the captain and asked, "Captain, can you make a forced landing on Earth?" ”
The captain opened his eyes and replied in disbelief, "Yes...... Yes, you can. But ......"
"Don't 'but', crash-land on Earth!" Lei Ling, as the supreme commander present, gave his order.
The captain nodded as if determined, "That's all there is to it now." Then he turned back to the other staff members who were not on combat duty and said, "Adjust the angle and fly towards the earth." ”
On the big screen, the virtual model of the spaceship has been riddled with holes, and the warning lights are lit one after another, not knowing which attack will be the final blow that will end the lives of everyone present. Time is pressing, everyone is racing against time, while powerlessly fighting back at the enemy ship, while nimbly shuttling through the hail of bullets and small enemy ships, constantly adjusting the angle, heading towards the earth.
"Over there!" The captain pointed to a breach in the Skynet ahead and shouted, "There's a hole in there that just allows the ship to pass through." Burn the wind! ”
The spaceship swayed left and right as the enemy pursued it, heading towards the breach. Getting closer, getting closer...... Hope is at hand.
Suddenly, there was a loud bang, and the security door in front of the bridge gate suddenly fell, and the large screen in front of the bridge station displayed: The hull is damaged, the location of the damage: the middle of the hull, 2 to 4 floors, the degree of damage: extremely heavy.
"The hull of the ship has been broken!" The captain shouted, clutching the handle of his chair. After the spacecraft suffered a heavy blow, it instantly lost its balance, as if the gravity system was no longer normal, and the earth's gravity was getting stronger and stronger, the whole spacecraft lost control, and the people in the spacecraft kept falling around.
Long Xingyi, who had already put on his battle suit, put on his hood, fixed himself to the wall with his limbs, and shot out a few spider silks, pinning several other people in a safe position, shouting to them: "Protect yourself!" ”
The spacecraft lost control of the bridge for a moment, and with a large hole in its hull, it grazed the edge of the steel frame of Skynet, smashed several steel pillars, and tilted to the other side, completely uncontrollably passing through the atmosphere.
"Will we land alive?" Dawn screamed. Yin Yuting was already shaken so much that she wanted to vomit, and she couldn't talk to her at all. Lei Ling also closed his eyes tightly, and a painful expression appeared on his face, as if he regretted his decision just now.
In the midst of this chaos, the captain unbuckled his seat belt, resolutely climbed to the bridge, pushed away the driver who had already died in the collision, and clicked a few times on the screen of constant alarms. A manual lever was raised from under the console, and the captain gritted his teeth with both hands to make a final attempt to adjust the ship's angle. He struggled to get a few words out between his teeth: "You all have to live!" ”
The hull of the ship, under the adjustment of the captain, let out a loud wail, as if it was already overwhelmed, but it was still driven by its master. Gradually, the ship's angle stabilized, and the raging fire that had ignited in front of the ship as it passed through the atmosphere gradually extinguished, revealing a continent in front of them.
"Ahh On the screen in front of the bridge, Long Xingyi finally saw the long-lost horizon......
There was a loud bang, and the ship made close contact with the ground.
