Chapter 2: The Fall of the Formation

"I will report your mistakes truthfully. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info while you still have the right to play your captain game! In the communication, Captain Lisi tried her best to be sarcastic. As the remote conversation was unilaterally cut off, Charles' liver-colored face was reflected off the surface of the monitor.

"Look at what! Are you ready for the attack? It is the duty of your staff officers to anticipate the possible movements of the enemy and give advice to the commander, and it is a waste of food to keep you in a bunch of waste. ”

While cursing his subordinates, Charles seemed to forget that it was he who launched the attack and threatened the people who made the opinion to engage in military law.

Things are out of control. Low-intensity anti-smuggling operations were supposed to be the best training tasks for recruits. In the formation, from the crew to the infantry, the vast majority were recruits. The commander's duties in this kind of formation are more inclined to nanny, and ensuring the safety of the vast majority of rookies is actually their first priority. The loss of all the shipborne infantry in one operation, from any point of view, was a mistake on the part of the commander.

Charles's mood now can be imagined. He expected that Liz would fall into the trap, and that his own men would not be able to be trusted. He is still self-aware, knowing that among his colleagues is extremely poor, and there are many people who are waiting for him to lose power. In the current situation, he naturally bears the main responsibility. He could already imagine the pressure from above, the ridicule of his colleagues, and the hatred of the families of the war dead. Perhaps he will be treated as an outcast, thrown out by the fleet, and bear all the faults.

We can't let that happen. Climbing to his current position is the result of his hard work for most of his life. He thought about his family again. The son has always been proud of having a captain father, and his wife also regarded herself as the admiral's wife. If they lose their position as captain, or even lose their reputation, will they still recognize themselves as a father and husband? He has no self-confidence. Perhaps what awaits him will be a miserable and lonely twilight life.

Frightened by his own imagination, he was sweating profusely. "It can't be like this, it can't be made happen!" Charles muttered to himself as he stared at his red-eyed eyes.

The investigative department made an intuitive discovery. The launched scout ship sent back images of the target ship.

"That's it, it's really a combat ship! The ship is so strange, is it really a pirate ship? ”

"The Federation doesn't have this kind of spaceship, it looks like it should be some kind of cruiser, is it the type of ship with the core of the star field?"

"In any case, it is important to ensure your own safety first, and I recommend an honorable retreat immediately. If you get stuck to the cruiser, it's not good! ”

The staff officers discussed the true face of the enemy ship, and they did not notice that Charles's expression was becoming crazy.

"Can't retreat! The enemy is in sight, and what honor do we have for retreating. Kill it, sink it! No matter what type of ship it is, as long as it is sunk, the fault in front is nothing. The whole ship is ready, no, the whole formation is ready. I ordered, to launch an attack on the enemy ship, and be sure to sink it. ”

His order was not carried out at the first time, the herald's face was full of doubt, the staff officers looked at each other, and the navigator looked surprised.

"Why are you stunned? Attack, attack now. Didn't you hear? I want you to attack at once! ”

Charles's expression sank into hysteria, and he waved his hands exaggeratedly.

No one responded, and even the most obedient monitoring officer did not answer.

"What's the matter with you guys? Why don't you carry out the order and want to rebel? These deserters, you are cowardly, you are going to court martial, you are all going to die! ”

"Don't listen to him, your Captain Charles is out of his mind. Now I take over the command of the formation. ”

I don't know who opened the communication loop, and the female captain Lisi appeared on the bridge in a three-dimensional way.

"What are you, you want to take away the power of Lao Tzu, dream about you. Where is the Warlord, I order you, in the name of the Formation Commander, to arrest this woman. She's responsible for the infantry's casualties, she's a pirate spy, arrest her quickly. ”

No matter how Charles shouted, the people on the bridge did not respond. Lisi gestured slightly, and the ship's garrison, which had been prepared for a long time, poured into the bridge. They can't help but say that they arrested Charles. Regardless of his shouting and jumping, no one showed half a minute of hesitation.

When Charles was taken out, the bridge was quiet again.

"Since I am the commander of the formation, the No. 3 ship will be the flagship in the future, you have no opinion."

Lis's image changed, cold and haughty, her head raised so high that it was hard to determine who she was talking to.

"That's it, now that the identity of the enemy's combat ships has been confirmed, I suggest that the formation is ...... or not", the eldest of the staff members stepped forward and wanted to make a statement to the new commander.

"You suggest! What are you? Don't forget that the flagship is not the No. 2 ship now, you just need to obediently carry out the order, and it is recommended that the staff of our No. 3 ship mention it. ”

Lisi glanced at the old staff officer arrogantly, and the other party shrank her shoulders in fright, and then she smiled with satisfaction.

"What's wrong? What's wrong? What is it? Ahh ”

The stereoscopic image suddenly screamed. Lis's last move was to fend something with her arms. The image then disappeared, leaving the people on the No. 2 ship looking at each other.

"Look, ship No. 3...... Oh my God......"

The Surveillance Officer's voice trembled. Wide-area monitor, the Ruida 3 ship was broken into two sections, and fragments, parts, and even the human body erupted from the breach. Soon the white light overwhelmed everything, and the huge fireball turned into an artificial star in the blink of an eye. The last moment of the No. 3 ship was deeply imprinted in people's eyes.

Liz and her No. 3 ship, less than five minutes into power, were reduced to cosmic dust with a terrifying explosion.

Several dark gray streamers bypassed the exploding ship No. 3 and outflanked the surviving No. 2 ship.

“…… It was the combat boats, it was they who sank the 3rd ship. How so, and how did they escape the surveillance of the defense system? ”

"Don't talk about that, what should we do now, they're rushing over!"

"Captain Liz hasn't appointed a new captain, what should we do?"

"Don't grind any longer, it's too late if you don't make a decision."

Just when the No. 2 ship group was leaderless and the staff officers were hesitating for the election of commanders, 6 streamers of non-existent streamers passed through the vacuum and arrived at the attack position. The Ruida 3 ship didn't even have time to open its defensive field.

The railgun's rays cut through the hull mercilessly. The armor plate was easily torn apart by the impact of the high-energy warhead. The hull itself was only symbolically resisted.

The hull pierced, scorching, plasma-dissolved superalloy warheads turned their path into a lava hell. Whether it is organic or inorganic, when the pillar of fire that destroys everything passes, it is directly vaporized, and finally sublimated into plasma, and moves forward together. Small-caliber railguns, the caliber of destruction they produce is by no means small. Under the two lines of fire, the main engine on the right side of the stern was stripped directly from the hull.

At the same time, the bridge was hit by a direct hit by the railgun, and the acceleration fluid that filled the bridge boiled, and the officers and men in it died on the spot because of the high-energy particles penetrating their bodies before they were cooked. They were lucky, at least they didn't suffer until they died, and the most pitiful thing was the officers and men who were in the rest of the hull. They didn't die in the first place, the scorching deck, the hot accelerator, the burning air, and the burning limbs of their own. Everyone who dies without imminent death will die in a roar of pain. Their corpses remained in their last moments, sucked into a vacuum, and will remain that way for thousands of years.

The explosion nearly 1,000 kilometers away was as clear to Zhao Ping as it was happening right in front of his eyes. His hopes of being rescued are completely delusional with the extinguishing of the artificial supernova.

"What should I do?

Now no one will come to the rescue. If you have to wait for the fleet to send a rescue, it will be at least a week later. He now survives on a combat suit. There is neither a reserve of oxygen, nor a supply of food and water. All he knew was that he was wandering in a vacuum by inertia with the cosmic garbage around him. How long can this last? Maybe in a few hours he will be turned into a cold corpse, a permanent resident of this vacuum.

He couldn't help but be frightened by his imagination, and his body shivered.

He tried to think about the good things, such as the fact that he was still alive and that his colleagues, he believed that the vast majority of them were dead. This shows that his luck is not bad, but that's all, how is he going to get out of this hellish place now? Without rescue, on their own, the combat suit does not have the ability to move in a vacuum, and to forcibly change the direction of travel, it is necessary to consume extremely valuable oxygen resources. Even if he gritted his teeth and released oxygen, he could move at a speed that was almost as fast as stationary for the vast space he kneaded.

After thinking calmly for a few minutes, he had to come to a conclusion in frustration. The current dilemma is a dead end. Without outside help, he had no chance of surviving.

The thought of death made his heart ache. Orphans, who grew up in a society lacking love, relied on the way of relying on people to earn a living in a welfare home. I finally survived to adulthood, with the capital of hard work, and wanted to live happily, but life had to come to an abrupt end here.

He has a strong unwillingness, he doesn't want to die in obscurity, he wants to leave something behind, or be hated, at least someone can remember him.

Loneliness, coldness, surrounded him. Maybe he's dead, and he's just a lonely ghost who is unwilling.

"I really don't want to die!"

A man shouts loudly, no one can hear him, and the vacuum cuts off his life and hope.

Angry, this untimely feeling suddenly occupied his heart. Why am I an ant, why can others be happy or miserable, and I only have a helpless death? Am I doing something wrong?

It didn't take much time to think and conclude that he had done nothing wrong. His life is like a small boat, staggering and struggling in a sea of rage, facing the consequences of its imminent capsizing.

"It's not fair!"

He angrily swung his fist at the approaching diamond-shaped combat boat.

Tens of kilometers away, in the blink of an eye, the robot combat boat came to the wreckage where he was sheltering.

In the starship sequence, the smallest combat platform was so huge when it approached, Zhao Ping had the illusion that a wild beast was staring at him.

Don't...... Is rescue coming? The interstellar pirates suddenly found out in their conscience, do they plan to save the Space Force soldiers who are in space?

At the front end of the diamond-shaped hull, the beam cannon muzzle lit up, and Zhao Ping realized that he was about to meet the last moment.

He couldn't escape, and his lonely figure faced a colossal opponent.

"Hahaha...... Hahaha ......", hysterical laughter that only he could hear.
