Ludeit, the capital of the Federation of Leray, is in early summer.

The scorching sun quietly baked the earth, sprinkled on the passing flying cars, the whitened roads, the shuttle intercity passenger flights and the sky trains, and from time to time it suddenly reflected a dazzling light on the glass.

However, this bright weather, in the eyes of the people of Lelei, is no different from the past. No matter how good the weather is, no matter how bright the sun is, it can't shine into that dark life.

They still queued up for a little food, they were still in rags, they still walked through the deserted and dilapidated cities every day, they sat on the bus, which had not been maintained for a long time, and went to work in companies that were almost entirely controlled by the Westerners, working more than fourteen hours a day, and returning home exhausted to face the pitiful eyes of hungry children. You can't remember how long these days were.

They just watched the city decay, watched the shops dwindle and eventually close their doors. I also watched my neighbors move away with a sad face, and watched my children become more and more depressed after crying goodbye to their neighbor's friends. And many others that we have not seen, but who have known.

For example, in order to make a living, a man in a certain family ends up dying of exhaustion, a woman "who is ruined by someone for stealing a little food, or whose family is framed and whose family is ruined, or which official in the government is arrested because of his association with the resistance group, and is publicly executed in a few days."

The peaceful, affluent Federation of Leray sank to the bottom of the deep test little by little. The original life has disappeared without a trace without a trace, and there is no trace of light anymore. People live like walking corpses, patiently.

When the occupiers' luxury cars passed in front of them, and when the Westerners, who had usurped their property, inspected the factories with great dignity under the escort of bodyguards, their eyes were only numb.

However, as long as you go deep into their lives, as long as you breathe the suffocating air with them, you can find that in this seemingly dim world, there is a ray of light, which exists forever.

This glimmer of light may come from the troops who fought and persevered in a foreign land, from the resistance that can never be wiped out, from their precious news footage of the Great Patriotic War, from the bulletin board of the fallen martyrs who have been demolished on the side of the road and only a bare shelf, or maybe it is just from a little hope for freedom. The kingdom of peace and abundance for three hundred years is gone.

However, the heroic federation that still insisted on not bowing its head during the siege of several major empires in the West never died!

Those who supported the Brody regime in the first place have regretted it. The people who insisted on resisting at the beginning still burst into tears every day in front of the Patriotic War footage with the sound turned off.

A force has been surging beneath the dark life of the Lelei people. So surging. It's like blood in your veins, it's like a pulse_4$ strong! People are patient. They believe that day will come eventually!

It may take five years, maybe ten years, even twenty years......... "even the most optimistic people", the most heroic and determined underground resisters, could not have imagined that this day would come so quickly! This afternoon, a piece of news circulated wildly among the people of Lelei.

Uninformed people were surprised to find that their colleagues, friends and family members had a hint of long-lost excitement and fluctuation on their faces. Then, from each other's mysterious whispers, they got the news that had come from somewhere. "Attack the Bermuda galaxy in a big way!" They looked at their companions, who were so excited that their voices trembled a little, and opened their mouths wide. No, not only the IU\}...*...... "i" Midway Star and the Rodbia Star Rothero garrison fleets have been crushed by the bandit fleets that poured out! The Desik fleet has been forced to rush to reinforcements! "The army of the bandit army has landed on Midway, and this time, they are really back!"

The mouth of the companion was quickly closed in front of his eyes, and the news that he didn't know where it came from was said in a hurry, and the speed of speech was as fast as a machine gun!

No one can digest so much.

Everyone's minds are blank, and there is only one thought in their hearts, which is beating faster and faster...*......"

It's true?! An old-fashioned space capsule with a centralized national flag sails through the silence of the universe.

The ship's radar was spinning rapidly, and the scanners and detectors were turned on to the maximum range. In this way, from time to time, cargo ships also drop a civilian probe to search farther away.

Outwardly, it's just a spaceship carrying everyday cargo. Only the vigilant crew members on the ship knew that the mezzanine of the cabin was full of embargoed drugs and weapons.

They need to pass through the Bermuda Galaxy, then go from the Common Galaxy around the Central Domain of Le Ray to the Free Galaxy, and then through the Mars Channel of Free Information, to the Newton Galaxy. Perhaps the most dangerous place in the journey is the Bermuda galaxy.

You know, in recent times, the Jeppen fleet and the Seuss fleet have intensified their patrols several times. In the space station of the course, this period has been listed as a dangerous time to break through. If the contraband is found by the red-eyed Seuss and Jeppen, everyone on board will die without a place to bury.

As for the Desiks at Lelei's Central Star Jumping Point, no one dared to provoke them. It is better to spend four more days in the starry sky than to be inspected by the wolf-like Desik fleet. The frigate of those guys, fighting is a one-shot death, but if you want to do some searching, chasing and killing cargo ships, it is perfect! They make it difficult for even regular cargo ships, not to mention the contraband-containing ships!

In the old wheelhouse, Enyama, an old black captain in his sixties, was nervously watching the data from the newly released probe. The first mate and crew members beside him also stared at the data screen, and they didn't dare to come out. The old captain is experienced and is a living map of this fairway.

This cargo ship, under his leadership, has successfully passed several levels. Not only did they send much-needed supplies to the Leray Federation, but they also bought a lot of money for the crew members who risked their lives. And this time, it was the last time the [Seahorse] cargo ship broke through.

As everyone knows, it may not be long before the Newton Space Hop is broken by the Western Coalition and the IL Seahorse will have to move to Galileo and even the Gachalin system to open up a new route. Every time you open up a new route, you are far more risky than navigating a familiar route.

Although he is not from Leray, everyone hopes that the Lelei Federation can hold out a little longer. In addition to the psychology of continuing to rely on this waterway to make money, everyone really admires the courage of the people of Lelei.

After fighting Gacharin, Desik, Seuss, and Jeppen, those guys now, with their patchwork of old-fashioned fleets, can actually fight the mighty Sheldon fleet. Such a hard bone, in the prison of the customs breaking boat, who doesn't lift it up and put a big finger on it?

For these men who are begging for a living in the universe with their heads, those Lelei soldiers who have stood in front of the Western Fleet one after another are all iron-clad heroes! They have always been unruly, and the one they admire the most is such a person!

Perhaps it is the latent silicon of this recognition and admiration, and now every time you succeed in rushing through the level and landing in Milo, everyone has a heartfelt joy. Not only did I earn ruthenium because I successfully broke through, but I also had a sense of satisfaction and pride in doing something for this strong country.

Although every time I arrived at Lelei, I was so drunk by the friends of Lelei that I couldn't even walk. But they love this life, they like these friends, and they love this country!

The probe, which has flown to a distance of 150,000 kilometers from the cargo ship, is still searching forward. In another twenty minutes, the probe will be able to penetrate the asteroid belt and fly into the jump course.

All we can hope now is that the probe will not be discovered by the patrolling Jeppen and Seuss fleets. Otherwise, even if it is hundreds of thousands of kilometers away, the opposing warship can easily catch up with this old cargo ship. "Captain...""The informant, who had been wearing headphones, looked up from the computer and looked at Enyama with a blank expression, "I think, you should come and listen to this?" ”

Nyama strode over to the informant, took the headphones he had taken off, and listened intently.

The first mate on the side bumped the informant with his elbow: "What's going on?" ”

The crew members beside him also looked nervously at the informant.

Truth be told, the cargo ships have been carefully avoiding the main shipping lanes and spending a lot of time navigating the gravitational reefs and asteroid belts (8 remote airspace), but everyone feels that the Bermuda shipping lanes today are unusually calm compared to the previous days.

Not only were the patrol fleets that roamed the remote waterways and waiting for the rabbits to disappear, but even on the main channel, not a single Western warship was encountered for a long time. As if overnight, the battleship of the Western Covenant had disappeared!

This phenomenon is not a good thing for the ship. You must know that the reason why the ships were able to make a living on this waterway was because of their knowledge of the West's patrol fleet and dangerous waterways and airspace. But once the other party completely disappears, all the rules disappear at the same time. Even the old captain Enyama couldn't make an accurate judgment.

No one knows if the spaceship will be caught by Jeppen or Seuss's fleet in some otherwise safe airspace in the next second! The informant, who had been listening to the secret route channel between the crossing ships, had apparently heard something.

The informant looked at the old captain, lowered his voice, and said to the first mate and the others: "Guess, what news did I just hear from the [Little Seabird]?" ”

The Little Seabird cargo ship is another familiar ship. The performance is much more advanced than that of the Seahorse. The captain was a native of Salga, and for a long time took the Salega route to Rodebia. Because the Seuss paid a high price to buy an entry permit, the technical difficulty of their entry was much lower.

Both Xu Hand and the Ray Resistance had purchased weapons from Salega from Little Seabird. Among the interloders, the Little Seabird is quite famous.

However, now no one has time to play a guessing game with the informant, and the big mate's thick arm suddenly wrapped his arms around the informant's neck, and looked at the long-faced guy viciously and said: "If you don't say it again, Lao Tzu stuffed you into the garbage channel to excrete!" The red-faced informant hurriedly surrendered: "I said, I said!" ”

He glanced at everyone around him and whispered, "The Little Seabird was supposed to arrive in Rodbia today. However, they are still parked on the periphery and cannot enter. All shipping lanes were blocked by bandit fleets attacking Midway and Rodbia. "Bandits?" The first mate's eyes widened: "Attacking Midway Star and Rodbia Star?" ”

The informant nodded: "Listen to the people on the little seabird, this time the Suss and Jeppen fleet is miserable. The Little Seabird was far away, didn't know anything, and was just moored in place and not allowed to leave, and the Seuss and Jeppen patrol fleets in those lanes, one by one, supported a group of returning immigrants, only to be killed by the bandits. ”

He sighed twice and added, "And those transports and merchant ships of Seuss and Jeppen nationality, none of them ran away. Next to the little seabird, there are many wrecks of warships floating around! ”

The first mate and the crew exchanged a pleasant look at each other, and asked in a gossipy manner: "Then you mean, we didn't see the patrol fleet of Xiyue all the way because they were all cleaned up by the bandits?" "Why else?" The informant set his eyes on the old captain, who had put his earphones to his ears and listened intently.

"It's a bandit! They attacked Midway Star and Rodbia! The old captain's affirmative voice made the whole wheelhouse cheer. While the crew laid down the big stone in their hearts, they were also excited by the news of the bandit army's attack on the Western fleet. For the crew of the transport gang who have been in the Mars Beiyou channel for a long time, the bandit army is their own troops!

"But V..."" The old captain put down his headphones) frowned="Listen to the spaceship from Lelei's central star field, this news has spread all over Lelei's capital. If we receive a request for help from the Seuss, the Desik Fifth Fleet will not be able to ignore it, and maybe those guys are ahead of us right now! The cheers of excitement abruptly stopped, and the crew stared at each other and fell silent. Then we are now one". The first mate asked. Duck out of the limelight first, make sure Desik has passed the fairway, and then we'll go. The old captain's wrinkled black face was wrinkled, and his brows were furrowed like the word "Chuan". "Understood." The first mate turned his head to look at the observer: "Detonating detection ........."; The last word was stuck in his wide-open mouth.

Following his line of sight, the crew turned their heads to look at the screen transmitted by the probe. The entire cab was dead silent.

I saw millions of fragments and steel wrecks in the endless starry sky, silently levitating.

The big wreckage is the ship's rest or bridge, which is larger than a space building, and the small wreckage is about the same as a fist. They were motionless in the steel graveyard, or they were tumbling and colliding from side to side. Some of the wreckage was still in the leaking gas, flashing with crackling electricity. A massive bow wreckage, sliding past the probe's lens.

Through the unclear screen, you can see the number and mark of the Fifth Fleet on the wreckage - *......"
