The Aquila and the four air-supremacy firepower ships maneuvered around the encirclement and interception of the biological warships with ease, and the uninterrupted laser beams of all sizes were fired in all directions, and the artillery fire was invincible.

The Aquila looks majestic, in fact, this kind of fierce confrontation between the gongs and the drums in person has brought great pressure to the Aquila, if it weren't for attracting the attention of the Outer Bone Man and creating an opportunity to save people, Ye Fei would definitely not be stupid enough to face off with the Outer Bone Man head-on.

However, the number of biological warships owned by the Outer Bone is too large, and even if the Aquila tries its best, it can't drag all the biological warships on the battlefield.

Gliese 581 was too small, and the four assault landing ships appeared in their intended positions as soon as they disappeared, with the Black Bear and the Saber at each end of the asteroid belt.

The asteroid belt here is only one astronomical unit away from the star, which should be considered the Kuiper belt according to the size of the planetary system, and half of it was destroyed in the battle that year, and only one-third of the entire ring belt is still intact today, forming an arc-shaped asteroid belt about one astronomical unit in length.

More than 30 J-447 fighters immediately appeared near the assault landing ship commanded by Black Bear, and immediately dispersed after leaving the faster-than-light state, burrowing into the asteroid belt from various directions, and flying separately to the distress signals found in the asteroid belt.

The asteroid belt appears dense when viewed from a distance, and the distances between the asteroids appear to be very close. In fact, the asteroid here is very far away, not to mention the J-447, which is limited in size, even if the assault landing ship flies in, there is no problem at all.

However, in order to prepare for the attack of the alien fleet. The assault landing ship had only the J-447 fleet remaining outside to cover the entry into the asteroid belt.

Although the assault landing ship against the biological warship is not quite the right way, it means that in the case of fighting against a large number of biological warships, it is not a problem to wait for thirty or fifty biological warships.

The fighter plane scattered into the asteroid belt was worse than a handful of sand scattered into the sea, and in an instant, the trail was pushed, leaving only the flashing light points on the radar to show the position of the fighter.

A point of light representing the fighter was the first to overlap with the distress signal, after which the Black Bear's assault ship immediately received a communication from the fighter: "Call elevator No. 226, call elevator No. 226." ”

"The elevator received, please speak." Black Bear is self-ordered to answer the newsletter.

His current military rank is the highest among all the commandos on the ship except for Ye Fei, because Ye Fei had to command the battleship, so he was appointed as the acting commander of the Aquila Reinforced Assault Regiment and the captain of a large group.

"No. 226 found a lifeboat. But there was no response from the radio. No survivors were found. "Fighter No. 226 was hovering over an asteroid with a diameter of about 40 kilometers at this time, and the airborne synthetic aperture radar continued to sweep over the surface of the asteroid, and a complete lifeboat appeared on the radar screen, and the distress signal came from the lifeboat.

"How is that possible? Are you sure the lifeboat is intact? The black bear asked suspiciously.

"There are no anomalies with the naked eye, radar imaging, and signal feedback. Do you want to land to see? ”

The black bear said, "No need. Continue your search for the next target. Leave the landing search to our commandos. ”

The value of the pilot is expensive, and if the pilot who only wears a light armor encounters an exoskeleton or something after landing, the loss will be great. The cost of training for commandos is not much lower than that of pilots. But when the defense of the combat armor is strong, a commando can easily pack up thirty or fifty exoskeletons, and he doesn't even have to call for support.

"226 received!" The pilot did not drag at all, and the light spots on the radar quickly left, leaving only the distress signal to continue flashing.

"First squadron, send a detachment over to see the situation...... Be careful. ”

"Yes! Detachment, follow me—" A series of passwords sounded from the communication, and then a detachment applied to the bridge to open the watch hatch.

After the hatch opened, the seven commandos flew away from the assault ship one by one and went straight to the coordinates of the incident.

On the new combat armor, flying gear has become standard, and although the actual flight speed is not satisfactory, it finally gives the commandos the ability to fly continuously, even fighting like a helicopter in the atmosphere.

The commandos did not believe that the armor had to have the ability to fly, but the ability to fly for long periods of time would allow the team members to get rid of the history of relying on landing craft for air maneuvering, and raise the tactical level of the commandos by several levels.

Before a detachment could fly over the target, the other fighters found their targets one after another, and the cries in the communication rang out one after another. It's quite a meaning that you sing and I appear.

To the horror of the black bear, the communication of all the fighters was much the same, and any distress signal was the same as that found by 226, only the lifeboat did not find the survivor.

And many lifeboats have been seriously damaged, when the black bear put together the images of the lifeboats sent back by the fighter, he was stunned to find that all the lifeboats were violently dismantled by the hatch, and the other parts were intact, no wonder they could still send a distress signal.

Except for ordering the fighter plane to continue the search, the black bear couldn't think of any way, he quietly established contact with the military force: "Old knife, I only found a lifeboat here, and not a single survivor was rescued, how are you doing there?" ”

"It's the same on my side, I searched for more than 20 signals, but I didn't find anything." Saber said solemnly, "Did the wrecked battleship launch all the lifeboats?" ”

"How is it possible, a lifeboat that no one pilots will not leave the battleship at all." Speaking of which, the black bear sent the comparison image to Saber, "Look, what's your idea?" ”

A closer look at the enlarged picture of the saber: "It should have been destroyed from the outside, there are traces of a depression near the hatch...... Could it be the Outer Bone Man? No, did you find the landing craft? ”

There was no trace of resistance at the scene of the lifeboat wreck, and it is not surprising that ordinary landing craft had only light weapons in them, and they could not fight against the exoskeletons. But there is an assault ship among the wrecked battleships of the Third Fleet, and a large group of commandos will not escape without any escape, and they will all be reimbursed with the battleship, right?

"Nope." The black bear replied. "Maybe it's because the location where the assault ship sank is far away from the asteroid belt, and the people who took refuge in the asteroid belt are the personnel of the other two warships. I'll ask the others if there's anything going on on your side and let me know right away. ”

"Understood." Saber said.

The black bear was about to switch the communication frequency, and suddenly received a report from the fighter: "219 called the elevator and found two frozen survivors, repeat, found two frozen survivors!" ”

"Quick, escort back immediately!" The black bear urged impatiently, "The elevator calls the iron bull, please answer when you hear it!" ”

"Iron Bull received. Please! Ye Fei, who handed over operational command, was responsible for directing the rescue operation. The medical rescue ship has been found with more than 30 survivors.

The black bear cautiously asked, "Boss, I found two frozen survivors here, do you want to send them back immediately?" "Assault landing ships do not have the conditions for a thaw. It must be returned to the hospital ship. to be safely thawed.

"How?" Ye Fei's good mood disappeared. "So long to find two survivors? Black bear, you're not kidding, are you? ”

The black bear sighed bitterly: "How dare I talk nonsense at this time, the fighter plane has already searched for dozens of distress signals." But only these two people were found, and not only me, but also Sabre and no progress. Saying that, he sent the comparison image to Ye Fei, and briefly explained the speculation between him and the saber.

Ye Fei frowned deeply: "Send the people back first, order the aviation descendants, search and rescue be more careful, don't just look at the place where there is a signal." ”

The lifeboat has not only weapons and equipment, but also food and water, and there is no problem in maintaining the survival of the people on board for a month. Because the time to be rescued after escaping from the battleship can be as little as a few months or more than a whole year, the lifeboat also carries a cryochamber, and when the supplies are exhausted, the escapees can freeze themselves and prolong their lives to wait for rescue.

The battle between the Third Fleet and the Outer Skeleton took place half a month ago, and the supplies on the lifeboat were certainly not exhausted, and the reason why the two survivors entered the freezer was probably to avoid the attack - the mixed liquid used to freeze the human body is stronger than steel at low temperatures, and as long as the ambient temperature does not rise, even if it drifts in the empty universe for 1,800 years, it will not be damaged, and it can still save the people frozen in it.

Whether the mystery of the survivors' disappearance can be solved depends on these two survivors.

I thought that the rescue would go very smoothly, but I didn't expect such a big fork in the middle, Ye Fei couldn't help but start worrying about the rescue team in other directions: "Tie Niu called the monkey, please answer when you hear it." ”

"Monkey received, please speak."

"How's your progress there? How many people are found? ”

"The situation in the wreckage area is complicated, the signal is not strong, and there is not much progress at present, and only six survivors have been found." The monkey replied helplessly.

The debris of large and small warships is everywhere, like pieces of jamming chaff, which has a great impact on the propagation of electromagnetic signals, and the debris is very dangerous for high-speed fighters, and the pilots can only press the speed to find it slowly.

"Speed up, the Skeleton fleet will give you two hours at most." Ye Fei calculated the speed of the biological warship and gave an accurate answer.

"Understood." The monkey replied.

"Iron Bull calls wolf cubs, please answer when you hear it!"

"The wolf cub received, please speak!"

"How's it going?" Ye Fei asked competently.

"The environment is too complex and the search speed is slow." The wolf cub and the monkey replied in much the same way, "Just now the fighter reported the discovery of the wreckage of the supply ship Jinghu, and there are likely survivors in the wreckage, and I plan to send someone to take a look." ”

"Be careful, bring your weapons, and stay safe." The anomaly in the asteroid belt had already aroused Ye Fei's vigilance.

"Understood." The wolf cub replied.

Cutting off communications, Ye Fei began to secretly ponder that search operations in other directions could be suspended at any time, but the supply ship of the expeditionary force was sixteen kilometers long, and even if the wreckage was only half of it, it was eight kilometers long. Moreover, the survivors inside must be hiding in a hidden location, and it is not easy to find them, let alone two hours, even two days to search them.

However, the wreckage of the battleship can retain some of the functions of the battleship, especially the supply ship is equipped with a large amount of compressed air, water, food and weapons and equipment, which has a fatal attraction to the nearby survivors, and the search and rescue progress in the wreckage area is not great, and it is likely that all the nearby survivors have been transferred to the wreckage of the supply ship!

After a while, the bio-warship group approached the wreckage area, and the Aquila had to be moved over to cover the search for the wreckage of the Mirror Lake, but the Skeleton Man's attention was always on the Aquila. After the transfer, will it attract the main forces of the enemy to it? Wouldn't that be self-defeating?

The distressed Ye Fei was extremely entangled, and at this time, the commandos sent by the black bear finally flew to the target area.

The reason why the 226 was the first to reach the target was because it was assigned the closest distress signal to the battleship, but the combat armor flew much slower than the fighter's speed, and it was necessary to fly to the place in a hurry.

The gravitational pull of the forty-kilometer asteroid was pitifully small, and the seven commandos landed directly near the lifeboat, only to find that the lifeboat was crooked to the ground, and the hatch on the side was blocked by the hull. The location of the hatch is simply not visible from the air.

Look closer. The traces of violent dismantling of the airtight door are very obvious, but no airtight door was found nearby, and I don't know where the road was lost.

"Big fly, Coke. Go inside and have a look. Others searched the surroundings carefully. The detachment leader ordered.

"Yes!" Two commandos carefully slipped into the lifeboat with rifles. The team member codenamed Da Fei exclaimed: "Captain, the lifeboat is still working!" ”

"Great!" The captain was overjoyed, "Copy the information in the boat immediately!" ”

The military's warships and various aircraft are equipped with a black box-like recording system. And these signals can be sent outward when necessary, but at present, only large warships are installed with resonance communicators, and signals from small ships can only be sent in the form of electromagnetic waves.

Even if the signal strength is sufficient, it will take more than 20 years to fly to Earth...... It has been less than twenty years since Ye Fei joined the army, and the images of the battle between the humans and the pioneer group of the Outer Bone People have not yet spread to Gliese 581!

The speed of the military system is extremely fast, and it only took Dafei less than three minutes to transfer all the information to the armored storage device: "The captain's data has been copied. ”

"Take a good look and see if you can find useful clues." The captain commanded.

The equipment on the lifeboat is relatively simple, and the monitoring data is usually washed out of the old and recorded new, and whether the information from half a month ago can be left in the heart of the current captain is not at the bottom.

"Yes!"

Dafei and Coke immediately began to inspect the lifeboat, recording all the corners of the boat with a camera device, and can rely on this data to digitally restore the scene in the future.

The outside of the hatch is covered with hollows the size of a bowl, which shows that the force involved in disassembling the hatch is extremely large. There was no damage near the hatch, but a dozen rifles were scattered in the depths of the lifeboat.

Cola picked up a rifle and unloaded the magazine on the truck, and shook it at Dafei: "It's empty, it's gone." "Although the caseless bullet has the advantage of weight and size compared with the shelled bullet, no matter how advanced the packaging means, it cannot protect the propellant as closely as the cartridge case, so the space army after the establishment of the expeditionary force is issued with a live magazine full of bullets with various protective measures.

Therefore, there is only an empty magazine, and there is no such thing as an empty magazine, and there is no such time-consuming and laborious work as pressing bullets.

Da Fei immediately looked up at the bulkhead: "There are bullet impact points everywhere, and the shooter must have panicked when he fired...... Are all the guns empty? ”

Cola checked all the rifles on the ground, nodded, and said, "It's all empty." ”

"No, what about a dozen guns, more than a hundred rounds in one magazine, and only a few craters in the bulkhead? Where did the rest of the bullets go? Da Fei asked strangely, his eyes searched along a row of craters, and suddenly found that there seemed to be a dividing line in the middle of the lifeboat, and there were craters everywhere behind it, many of which were inlaid with deformed warheads, but the first half of the lifeboat did not find the slightest trace of being hit by bullets.

If it weren't for this, the console located in front of the lifeboat would have been smashed and scrapped.

Cola threw away his rifle and counted the light armor in the boat: "Fourteen sets are missing, which matches the number of rifles." ”

Da Fei looked around carefully, but did not find the expected bloodstains, and couldn't help muttering to himself: "Strange, what's going on here?" ”

"Could it be that the survivors have all been captured?" Cola speculated wildly.

Da Fei immediately realized that Cola remembered the old incident when the Outer Bone Man captured humans: "What do you mean...... Exoskeleton man? ”

"What else is there in this place besides the Outer Bone Man?" Cola opened the weapon box, casually pulled out a rifle and unloaded the magazine, not missing a bullet, "Look, even if you don't have a chance to change the magazine, it's not difficult to change a gun directly, right?" Only a large group of outer skeleton people can subdue fourteen people at the same time. ”

"What about the bloodstains?"

"Bloodstains?" Cola was stunned, "Where did the blood come from when you were captured?" ”

"I mean, the blood of the Outer Skeletons!" Da Fei pointed to the ground and said, "The spare rifle in the lifeboat is not as good as our rifle, but it is not a problem to penetrate the bone armor of the Outer Skeleton, even if all our people are taken prisoner, not a single Outer Skeleton will not be missed, right?" ”

"This ......," Cola couldn't answer, and after thinking about it, he reluctantly said, "Maybe the Outer Bone Man has made some strange creatures, so this phenomenon is there." ”

The Great Flying Ghost nodded awkwardly: "It's possible." He couldn't think of any other rational explanation.

The two left the lifeboat and reported to the captain: "Captain, the lifeboat search is complete." He briefly recounted the situation inside the boat and the inferences of the two men.

"I know it." The captain said noncommittally, "Come and assemble." ”

Others have already searched for locations hundreds of meters away from the lifeboat, but don't worry, there is the location information of the comrades on the individual radar.

The two rushed to the assembly location, and the captain pointed ahead: "Look what is that?" ”

Da Fei looked in the direction pointed by the captain, and suddenly exclaimed: "The hatch of the lifeboat? ”

"That's right, just found out." The captain made a throwing gesture, "Pull the door down from the lifeboat, and throw it casually and skim half a kilometer, the strength is really not small." ”

"Captain, the gravitational force in this place is so small, just pick someone, and you can throw it so far without turning on the auxiliary power!" Da Fei said unconvinced.

"Then you dragged the good door off the lifeboat with your bare hands to take a look?" The captain blocked Da Fei's mouth with a word, pointed to the hatch and said, "Bring this back, maybe it will be useful." ”

"I'm coming!" Da Fei flew over without giving up, holding the hatch with one hand, thinking that he could lift it easily, but with a lot of effort, the hatch did not move.

"Shout!" Da Fei suddenly lost his breath, turned on the auxiliary power, and dragged it up fiercely.

The asteroid has such a gravitational pull, and it is not a problem to lift the lifeboat in combat armor, but it is not possible to lift such a broken hatch?

The hatch gradually left the ground under the force of Da Fei's full pull, and slowly began to deform, only lifting two inches and smashing down, except for some to bring Da Fei to a fight.

"Holy shit, so heavy, this fucking asteroid? White dwarf! "Da Fei was confused, and he couldn't figure out what was going on." Coke, come and help me. ”

"It's coming!" Coke flew over immediately, and the two of them clasped the hatch together and used force at the same time, although it still sank badly, but this time it finally left the ground smoothly.

However, as soon as he lifted it to the height of his calf, the captain who was watching suddenly shouted in horror: "Let go-"

The others were also shouting in a mess to get out of the way, let go or something.

The two of them were stunned when they boarded, and the strength in their hands was discharged, but the broken hatch did not fall back to the ground, but rose quickly.

"Flash—" The voices of the comrades shouted in horror. (To be continued......)
