By the time everything was ready, before I knew it, a week had passed.

The two bases were initially on the right track, the deployment and reorganization of personnel was also completed, and the Shadow of Doom Fortress was handed over to Wilson, leaving 4,000 fighters behind. The No. 2 base was personally managed by Chu Jungui, and the main equipment and productivity were gradually relocated here. The overall personnel of the No. 2 base reached 8,000 people, although most of them were soldiers who surrendered with Fenghua, but with Chu Jun returning and Li Ruobai's appeasement, they were not afraid of any chaos.

Just when Chu Jungui felt that everything was ready, there was an accident.

When he returned to the Doomsday Shadow Fortress for the third time and was about to take Kaitian to Base 2, he suddenly found that all the relay stations along the way had been destroyed, and the damage was very complete, and basically no remaining traces could be found.

Examination of the fragments revealed that the relay had been torn apart and devoured by war beasts. I think the same is true of other relay stations, but they eat more thoroughly, and there is not even a bit of scum left.

Chu Jungui originally thought that these relay stations would be able to drive away the tide of beasts and create a small safe area for the daily commuter fleet between the two bases. However, the result was to summon the war beast to attack, and the war beast that attracted it went berserk.

After an in-depth discussion with Xiao Kaitian, Chu Jungui suddenly understood what was going on. The fluctuations emitted by the relay station are inaudible to the human ear, and only have an effect on the war beasts. In the feelings of the war beast, it is equivalent to hearing the constant noise harassment, and it will be unbearable for a long time. The idea of the average person is naturally as far away as possible, until it is no longer heard. However, the war beasts are all irritable and violent, and they will not run at all when they hear the trouble, and will only think about gnawing the root of all evil. Even the metal parts are swallowed raw, and it doesn't matter if they can be digested or not.

After finding the reason, Chu Jungui and Kaitian reset a frequency. The shock waves at this frequency are no longer so harsh, but soft, low, and continuous. In the war beast, it sounds like an old monk chanting scriptures, chattering endlessly. As the so-called annoyance is not impatient, you can only stay away.

After the new relay station was built, Chu Jungui made every effort to expand production capacity and prepare for the next transaction with Tianyu.

Outside the galaxy, a small fleet of three starships is cruising.

In the bridge of the frigate on the left, Lin Xi stood in front of the command platform, staring at the star map on the platform, pondering. She has a tall posture, a serious face, obvious bloodshot at the corners of her eyes, and a tired face that cannot be shaken. A young officer walked over lightly and said, "Lieutenant Colonel Lin, it's time for you to rest for a while." ”

Lin Xi looked at the star map intently, didn't raise his head and said, "I'm fine." This area is likely to encounter enemy ships, and the order is given, and the whole ship will enter the second level of combat readiness. ”

The young officer was stunned, "Is it a little early to be ready for the second level? Now there is no sign of the appearance of the enemy." ”

"Execute the order!"

The young officer looked at Lin Xi's side face, with a faint flame burning in his eyes, and said, "I just want to help you." Actually, you don't have to make yourself so tired, if you don't rest well, girls will age quickly. ”

Lin Xi finally raised his head, glanced at the young officer coldly, and said, "Execute the order, and then I don't want to hear anything that has nothing to do with your duties." ”

"Uh, yes, Lieutenant Colonel. The young officer saluted and left the bridge.

As soon as he stepped out of the hatch, his face was swollen red, and he gritted his teeth and said to himself: "If it weren't for the fact that you are beautiful enough, and for your uncle's sake, I would have put up with you like this?"

He took a sip and hurried away.

A hurried announcement suddenly sounded inside the starship: "Enemy ships are discovered, and all of them are in the first level of combat readiness!"

All the crew members instantly felt like clockwork, and their movements were a few beats faster. Many people rushed out of the rest cabin and went straight to their battle positions, not daring to delay for a second. The battle has been fought for several months, and everyone knows that this is not child's play, and the consequence of laziness is to bury the lives of the whole ship.

The starships, which had been in a tight formation, dispersed and formed a battle formation, and multiple flickering points of light appeared in the deep sky ahead, flying towards them. One by one, the Federation starships towed long bands of light, approaching at high speed. In the blink of an eye, they went from sub-light speed to combat speed.

The star map in front of Lin Xi has been switched to combat command mode, and the enemy starships appear on the star map one by one, and 8 starships have appeared in the blink of an eye!

"How can there be so many enemy ships in this star field?" Lin Xi frowned, quickly amplifying the trajectory of the enemy fleet's attack.

An image of a middle-aged soldier in a colonel's uniform appeared on the side of the command platform. He quickly ordered: "I will make a detour to the enemy's left flank, and ships No. 2 and No. 3 will follow my movements." ”

Lin Xi was pulling the trajectory of the enemy fleet forward at this time, and a coordinate jumped into view.

At this time, the colonel continued to order: "Keep a distance from the enemy fleet, block the shooting preparations! Accelerate, and enter the sub-light speed after ten minutes." ”

The star map clearly shows the trajectory of the command. Lin Xi's detachment will pass by the side of the Federation fleet, circle to the rear, and then enter sub-light speed. To sail at sub-light speed means to leave the battlefield. This seems to be understandable, and it is wise to retreat in front of an advantageous enemy.

The bridge shook slightly, and Lin Xi's frigate automatically adjusted its direction and followed the flagship to the enemy's rear. But she still stood, staring at the star map in front of her.

Lin Xi's gaze moved to the coordinates at the end of the Federal Fleet's track, and suddenly his face changed, and he said loudly: "We can't get away, we must entangle them!"

The colonel was very surprised, and said loudly: "This is impossible! We don't have the strength at all, and it is fortunate that we can retreat safely." ”

Lin Xi said quickly: "They will jump at this coordinate, and the real target is the mobile base in our rear!"

"So what? There's no way we're going to stop them. ”

"But we can hold them back, it won't take too long, half an hour, just half an hour! We can send the battle report out, and the rear can get an early warning and get ready. ”

The colonel shook his head and said, "It's not necessary at all, besides, how can they know the coordinates of our base?" Lieutenant Colonel Lin, you think too much. ”

Lin Xi said: "I don't know how they got the coordinates, but their goal is likely to be to move the base, otherwise they wouldn't have gone in that direction." ”

Lin Xi's words were interrupted by a violent vibration, and a large amount of light lit up on the virtual porthole of the starship, and an extremely dazzling band of light poured into everyone's eyes, as if to wrap the whole universe, and the first salvo of the Federation starship fleet had arrived.
