After Xia Long explained, he asked Alice to contact Oscar, thank Howard City Lord for his help, and discuss future cooperation by the way. From protective armor to 50 kilograms of plutonium fuel, to implanting an electronic virus at the most opportune time, this is a sign that Howard is gradually optimistic about himself, and does not want Cass to be too strong.

Xia Long contacted the farm base, explained the simple situation, and asked Keton, Bain, and Li Hu to hurry up the time to manufacture weapon devices, there are not many hydrogen-powered missiles left on the mothership, and if they can disassemble the original weapons of the two large warships, and then make other types of missiles on their own, the laser will be even better.

Later, Xia Long and No. 1 were in an area inside the mothership to inspect the pilots of the infrared interception warships brought back by the 11 quilt ships, these people are obviously of the nature of death squads, they are just born, only how to operate the infrared warship, and the memory of simple communication, the only task is to hear the deployment and attack the Life Freedom!

These people are not in good health, and the clones all suffer from diseases and it is difficult for them to survive for a long time; The machine is a super low-end configuration, and the energy is only enough to last for two weeks. After losing the warship, these people looked a little sluggish, and when they saw someone coming, they didn't shout loudly, but just glanced at Xia Long and the others blankly.

"That's all they have, they've been detected by the computer, and there's no self-detonation or anything like that, and if they were, they wouldn't exist now. I thought they were pitiful, as if they had been sent to war as children, and Cass didn't expect them to return alive. ”

No. 1 is also a clone, and his real age is not a few years old, but it is worthy of Dr. Mel's own creation, and let him be responsible for building the sub-ship, after coming into contact with Xia Long during this time, he has become more and more human.

Suddenly, one of these pilots, a thin-haired clone, looked at Xia Long blindly, pointed to a bald clone beside him and said coldly, "Will you kill us?" If you can, I would like to ask you to at least spare my sister, I grew up in the same training chamber as her, I was born a few hours before her, she is very sick and will not live long, I hope she can go through her life normally! ”

Xia Long's heart was a little shocked, and he said kindly, "Can I tell your name first?"

"My name is Nate and my sister is Nicole." After the siblings, the other drivers also said their names.

Xia Long struggled to calm his tone: "Listen, I have no right to absolute your life and death, let alone interfere with the belonging of your life. You may understand how Cass treats you, but I can promise that as long as you follow me in the future, I will do my best to cure your diseases by clones and I will strengthen the robots! ”

"Really?" Nicole's voice was weak, but she could already see some sparkle in her eyes.

"Of course, because you are already alive! Number 1, take good care of them and don't embarrass them. Xia Long's tone was firm.

"No problem, don't worry, in the words of Dolly and David, these are my compatriots. Hello, my name is Number One, a clone, and I was one of the creators of the humanoid spaceship that brought you in. No. 1 squeezed out an awkward smile and greeted the drivers.

Knowing that No. 1 is a subship of the Freedom of Life, a robot named Martin comes alive and chats with No. 1 about the construction of machines, and the others talk to each other in this atmosphere. Seeing this, Xia Long and No. 1 signaled to continue to accompany the captured pilots and left alone.

No. 3 and No. 4 are still repairing the mothership, Xia Long found No. 2 and discussed countermeasures with the computer: "Let the mothership sail for two days first, turn on the stealth effect throughout the whole process, and then repair it thoroughly when it is far away from New Blue Star, I hope we can drag Cass back!"

"We don't have enough manpower now, we were only responsible for 50 robots launching hydrogen-powered missiles before, and the rest of the launchers are computer-controlled, and it is difficult for computers to calculate during crises, so we waste a lot of our missiles." No. 2 pays attention to the analyzed data while reporting to Xia Long.

"I also understand this, who would believe that there are less than 100 people in such a large mothership of Life Freedom? After waiting for the D star, all the cosmic shipwreckers found along the way can be saved by the way! Now we're just getting started, and we're missing almost everything. Xia Long felt his insignificance and said helplessly.

Cass watched as Xia Long and the USS Life Freedom Mothership gradually moved away from New Blue Star, and said to the computer of Ark 3: "Activate the trackers that were caught by Xia Long and intercepted the pilots of the warship with infrared interception!" By the way, help me contact the lords and high-ranking personnel of other city-states, and I will host a remote meeting. ”

In a huge three-dimensional screen, it is divided into several screens, which are all important personnel from the major city-states, Cass stared at Howard, the city lord of City-State No. 6, intentionally or unintentionally, for a while, but Howard couldn't see the change in his expression and easily coped with it, which made Cass feel bottomless, and it was not good to question and challenge him.

"I'm in a hurry to invite you here, I want to warn those who colluded with Xia Long and sent out an electronic virus, don't think that this will save him, if we give up the Life Freedom and the data box, Xia Long will have Progenitor Particles, and it is not impossible to completely eliminate this hidden danger at some cost!"

"You have also obtained a lot of resources in this meteorite rain, I think you should know that our No. 3 city-state has contributed the most to all this, I just want you to do a little favor, for the time being, you will lend me some of your military power in Star C, under my command, to pursue Xia Long and the Life Freedom, and the technology and technology you get will definitely not disappoint you when the time comes!"

Cass used their own soft and hard means to successfully persuade other city-states, and temporarily borrowed some military strength from Cass to command. The city lords also have their own ghosts, symbolically agreeing, saying that they are borrowing, but they are not ready to come back to their side again.

Last time, 10 large warships surrounded and suppressed a damaged sub-ship, and let it converge with the mothership, but in the end, it lost 2 large warships for Xia Long to catch; And the invisibility technique obtained from Dolly and Davena was not shared together, and I learned from Jeff that the transformation technique that was still being studied was also not shared.

In addition, Cass has successfully upgraded and activated Ark 3, and the other 6 major city-state leaders are all scruples, and they dare not openly oppose Cass and show their support for his actions, so they secretly plan to do so.

Howard is the most typical, after accepting Cass's meeting, he was busy, first finding Oscar in person, and personally replying to some content in response to Alice's thank you message.

After that, he secretly contacted some other familiar high-level leaders outside the No. 3 city-state to create some obstacles to some of Kas's deployments in the future, and he couldn't easily let Kas achieve his goal.

The last thing is to gather the returning fanatics of the No. 6 city-state where they are located, do ideological work for them, and wait until the snobbery in Star D develops, which is relatively close to the aura area of Star E where Xia Long's base is located, and it is convenient to take refuge in Xia Long.

Many things can be seen by those who understand, Dr. Mel secretly built the Life Freedom, and captured the Ancestral Particles, and Dr. Mel is an authority on the use of the Ancestral Particles, all of which are enough to show that he wants to return to Earth.

Now Xia Long has inherited Dr. Mel's inheritance, as long as these returnees follow Xia Long, the hope of returning to the earth will increase a lot, and there are many talents in all aspects among these people, if you help Xia Long develop, the hope of returning to the earth is even greater!

Xia Long in the mothership, through Alice's relay, also learned about Cass's actions at the first time, and it won't be long before they will fight again, and they are not very worried about this Xia Long, the mothership has enough time to deal with it, and it is not so easy to find under the stealth effect.

And for Howard secretly contacting the high-level leaders of various city-states, creating obstacles for Cass, and indirectly transporting talents himself, Xia Long is grateful a lot. If it's just because he can contain Cass, Howard seems to have paid too much, and Charon doesn't think it's a matter of charm, or maybe he can be on an equal footing with a city lord now!

In the next two days, the voyage of the mothership was very normal, and Xia Long continued to reduce the sailing speed and gradually repair the damage to the outer layer of the mothership, but the situation did not allow Xia Long to be a little easier, and Cass was looking for trouble again!

Computer: A large number of hostile warships have been discovered, approaching us at high speed, it is expected to enter the alert range within 1 day, the outer layer of the mothership is slightly damaged, the power system is slightly damaged, and the other devices are intact, please be prepared!

No. 2 said with some frowns: "Xia Long, it's a little strange, according to my analysis, the direction of these hostile warships is relatively accurate, and they have been sailing at high speed along the way, adjusting their direction from time to time, and they seem to have seen through the stealth effect of the mothership!" ”

Alice obviously hadn't gotten used to such a tense voyage, and had just stopped for two days, and was stared at by others again, and stared at the dead one, and said angrily: "It's really endless to get on your thief ship, and it's always remembered." If our stealth is really discovered, it is estimated that the enemy ships will be able to discover us in less than a day, what is the reason for being discovered? ”

Xia Long sighed: "Don't think about it, the reason must be on the pilots of those infrared interception warships I captured, No. 3 and No. 4, gather them together with me, and the computer will prepare for a detailed inspection!" Cass decided I'd catch some drivers back! ”

The first to be found was Martin the Robot, who, along with No. 1 for the past two days, was familiar with the basic operations of the mothership, and was now familiarizing himself with the launchers of hydrogen-powered missiles, which, in Martin's own words, were very interested in. Everyone else is in the previous area, and the clones can taste the watermelons grown by Xia Long.

After everyone gathered, Xia Long said: "I'm very sorry to disturb you, I want to give you a detailed examination, Cass may have done something in your body, and we are now being accurately tracked by Cass."

The drivers had no objection to this, and brothers and sisters Martin, Nate and Nicole, were the first to cooperate with the inspection. It took more than an hour before the results came.

These people, either deep in the brain or near the memory system, have very advanced nano trackers, which are difficult to find, they have not been activated before, and after activation, the computer has spent a lot of time discovering them.

No. 3 said: "It's a little difficult, there are no nanobots in the mothership, it's not easy to clear the tracker, and if you deal with it manually, the risk is very high, and it's easy to destroy their memories and even die!" ”

Xia Long frowned and said: "Cass really recognized me, I asked those cosmic shipwreckers and some of the personnel in the two capture warships to bring back to New Blue Star, and he knew that I would not give up these people easily."

Nate's eyes were a little helpless: "Are you going to kill us after all?" If you can, you can experiment with me first, try to clear the tracker manually, and it's okay if I'm dead, I hope you can find the touch, so that my sister Nicole has a better chance of surviving. ”

Nicole's expression was very sad: "Don't take care of me like this all the time, we will always be together without separation."
