Chapter 658: Bait

"Do you think that since the Zerg have occupied this river system, they may let these ships go?"

"What are the strengths of this ship? Is the armor too hard or has the stealth ability to fool the Zerg. ”

"It's nothing! Since the Zerg are willing to let them out, there will only be one reason, and that is that the Zerg intend to use this spaceship as bait. ”

"From what I know about the urine of the Zerg, it's likely that they planted infected people among the refugees."

"If we bring the people on this spaceship back to the Shenzhou, the Zerg will easily discover the location and internal structure of our Shenzhou." Li Mingze explained to Charolo as he walked.

"You have a point, but what do we do? Did you kill them? Charolo asked again, puzzled.

"No, I have just secretly sent a message to Chu Lin, when they contact the command center, Shenzhou will send a city ship transformed by a civilian colonial ship."

"I also suggest that the Empire send some retired warships to form a fleet, so that they can confuse these people into thinking that this is our main fleet, so as to attract the attention of the Zerg and make it easier for us to secretly display our warehouse."

"Of course, I don't know if the upper echelons of the empire will accept my suggestion." Li Mingze shrugged his shoulders and opened the airtight door of the spaceship for Charolo.

After the Nautilus took off from the ship, the ship began to slow down and finally came to a complete stop.

A day later, an imperial fleet of one hundred colonies and two thousand decommissioned warships flew next to the ship.

These colony ships built by the Empire are no weaker in size than the Federation's escape ships.

So only one colony ship was freed up for the people who came out of this ship.

"On behalf of our Earth Federation and all the employees of my company, thank you!" The middle-aged man finally shook hands with Li Mingze and the others, bowed and thanked them.

"Earth Federation? The name of your civilization is the Earth Federation? Is your home planet Earth? Li Mingze asked with some surprise.

"That's right, according to the literature, the colonial ship piloted by our ancestors was swept away by a wormhole during the voyage and came to this unknown river system, and our ancestors were born on the earth, so our country is called the Earth Federation." The middle-aged man nodded, and then followed the others towards the Imperial colony ship.

"This is very interesting, the earth civilization of this universe can develop to such an extent, is it no longer in the original universe?" Li Mingze touched his chin and thought.

"Captain, what are we going to do?" Charolo pulled Li Mingze's arm.

"Let's continue to go deeper into this river system, we need to find a place where this civilization stores documents, and I am very interested in this universe right now."

After waving goodbye to the Imperial staff who had come to receive these refugees, Li Mingze and the others returned to the Nautilus.

"Let's go, go directly to the core of this so-called Earth Federation, their second earth!" Li Mingze inserted the storage in his hand into the console.

The star map he secretly copied from the ship's core was also transmitted to the computer.

This river system has been explored by the Earth Federation, and their civilization was once brilliant.

Their colonies, like empires, occupy most of the galaxy.

However, in the remaining unexplored space, there is an evil race: the Zerg.

At the beginning, the spaceship of the Earth Federation flew into the territory of the Zerg and awakened these demons, followed by a decades-long war between the Earth Federation and the Zerg.

Until finally, their capital, the Second Earth, completely fell.

"After the course is set, a total of 90,000 light-years of voyage, and nine jumps out of hyperspace need to be resupplied in the middle."

"At the same time, we must shorten the voyage through the thirteen wormholes discovered by the Earth Federation, otherwise we will need to fly for a full twelve years to reach the target point through hyperspace." The navigator reported to Li Mingze.

"It's very dangerous to pass through those wormholes, if this river system is really occupied by the Zerg, then these communication points must have been garrisoned by the Zerg fleet."

"It's impossible for our pioneer ship to break through the defense line of the Zerg fleet!" Li Mingze said with a frown.

"But we can't run for twelve years!" Charolo complained from the sidelines.

"In this way, let's go to the first wormhole site to check it out, and if we can't break through, we can only take the form of a dormant jump." Tang Shizhe shook his head.

A few days later, the Nautilus broke away from hyperspace and sailed into a star system.

"This star system serves as an important transportation hub for the Earth Federation, and they have developed three colony stars with a total inhabitation of 1.2 billion people."

"But our scanners didn't find any active electromagnetic signals in this star system." Charolo said softly.

Li Mingze beckoned and passed the information to the holographic screen in front of him.

"Turn off the ship's regular engines and we'll use the gravitational engine to slide over!" After thinking for a moment, Li Mingze commanded helplessly.

The absence of electromagnetic signals in this galaxy means that there are no active artifacts, which also means that it may have been ravaged by Zerg.

"Wait, our scanner just found a distress signal underneath the third planet."

"The frequency of this distress signal is once a minute, and there may be survivors!" Charolo suddenly reminded aloud.

"Let's go and have a look!" Li Mingze nodded.

The ship arced through the air and flew towards the third planet in the star system.

By the time we came to the orbit of this planet, the buildings on this planet could already be clearly seen.

But what is more inconsistent is that although the planet is covered by a complex of buildings, there are no lights at all on the side of the night hemisphere.

It is clear that all the colonists on this planet have either left or been eaten by the Zerg.

However, Li Mingze has not seen any units of the Zerg yet, not even the stump floating in space.

There is no trace of what looks like a Zerg building on the surface of the planet, and the vegetation on the surface of the planet is still there.

"Zoom in on the pictures of the cities on this planet!" With a wave of Li Mingze's hand, the city on the screen was magnified hundreds of times, and the streets between the high-rise buildings appeared in front of Li Mingze.

The streets are riddled with bomb craters, and the surrounding buildings are in dilapidation, but the strange thing is that there is not a single corpse!

Not only are there no human corpses, but there are no corpses of the Zerg!
