Nebula Channel, Node 7.

Wuluo-class destroyer, USS Kuma.

"Combat alert, combat alert, everyone immediately report to the combat post, this is not a drill, repeat, this is not a drill!"

As the battle alarm sounded, the sound of the land breeze resounded in every corner through the ship's broadcast.

Just now, a large number of communication points in the monitoring network all over the seventh node have lost contact.

However, nothing was detected on the radar.

Looking at the large piece of the word "lost" in the star map, Lu Feng frowned.

Obviously, the invisible mounds have reappeared.

"Can you locate a specific location through the interference area?"

"Yes, the azimuth is 3-2-2, the distance is 17880, and the error will not exceed 300 meters!"

Nodding, the radar officer replied.

"Did we search over there?"

"The search has been completed and no safe passage has been found."

Hearing this, Lu Feng fell silent.

Searched?

It wasn't the edge of the surveillance array, and if there wasn't a passage for invasion, how could this mounds suddenly appear in this location?

Normally, the alarm at the edge of the monitoring array must be triggered first, right?

"Captain, more mounds have appeared!"

Just as Lu Feng was thinking, the radar officer shouted again.

"More? How many areas in the monitoring network are failing? ”

"No, Captain, it was scanned directly by the radar."

"Non-invisible... Quantity? ”

"11, and counting!"

"Give me an observation screen!"

"Yes, Captain!"

Soon, on the main screen of the bridge, a video image was displayed.

It was a marginal area of the passage, and at this moment, one after another worm mounds were suddenly emerging from that location.

That's right, without warning, like a jump.

But Lu Feng was sure that they didn't arrive by jumping, and there was not the slightest sign of gravitational waves.

That is, there is a problem with this location!

If the guess is correct, the intrusion channel should be here, as for why it was not found during the previous inspection, then we can only wait for the aftermath to study.

"Adjutant, record this position, and at the same time order the Jingwei, Chongming, and Xuanniao three ships to move closer to our ship and form a battle array!"

"Yes, Captain!"

"Communications officer, pick me up at fleet command!"

"Yes, Captain!"

------

Canglan Star, Leader's Mansion.

The Sukh family is having dinner, and of course, together...

and Fu Wanting, who has lived here for more than a month

And at this moment...

Tick tick!

Jiang Xingchen and Fu Wanting rang at the same time.

After reading the information displayed above, the two said hello briefly, and then left quickly.

And not long after the two left, Sukh's contact rang as well.

"I'm Sukh."

"What?"

"Got it, I'll come over immediately, you let the others wait for me in the conference room!"

Soon, Sukh also left.

Only Ling Ruoxuan and Su Yingxue were left, with a deep worry in their eyes.

Although they didn't know what it was, they knew very well that something must be wrong.

According to the order, Jiang Xingchen went to the fleet headquarters to report for duty, while Fu Wanting went directly to Houyi to stand by.

Therefore, the two did not board the same shuttle.

After all, the fleet headquarters and the Houyi are not in the same airport.

More than ten minutes later, when Jiang Xingchen came to the combat conference room of the fleet headquarters, several captains had already come here, and Luo Hao and Mu Qianshan were among them.

Mu Zhengfeng, who was sitting on the main seat, had a very solemn face at the moment.

Jiang Xingchen knew at a glance that something must have happened, and it was not small.

Soon, in about five minutes, more than a dozen captains arrived, and all the captains were already here, except for the battleships that had a mission.

Mu Zhengfeng didn't talk nonsense, and directly opened a star map, which was the star map of the seventh node of the Nebula Channel.

On this star map, there are four blue dots, and not far from these blue dots, there are many red dots, and the number is probably 200.

"18 minutes ago, the Bear reported that 1 invisible mound, as well as 200 ordinary mounds, invaded the seventh node."

"At this moment, under the command of Lu Feng, the four ships stationed there are doing their best to block the attack, but as far as the current situation is concerned, the situation is not optimistic."

Hiss...

Hearing what Mu Zhengfeng introduced, everyone took a hard breath.

200 mounds?

You must know that in hundreds of years, the most insect mounds that humans have seen have been the Wuluo, but there are only about a dozen.

And because of Jiang Xingchen's tactics, he didn't directly fight with him.

It turns out that now it's 200?

Just when everyone was shocked, Mu Zhengfeng continued.

"As far as we know so far, although most of the worm mounds dispatched by the Starry Sky Zerg this time are 300-meter-level, there are also 5 800-meter-level, and the remaining more than 60 are 400-700-meter level."

"In addition, there is also an invisible mound, if nothing else, it should be the one that Qingluan encountered before."

"Let's talk about it, how will this battle be fought?"

Looking around at everyone, Mu Zhengfeng asked.

"We should immediately assemble the whole fleet and rush to support the seventh node immediately!"

"No kidding, it's going to take at least 30 hours to get there now, do you think the Bear and three frigates can hold 200 mounds for so long?"

"Then what should I do, I can't help but support, right?"

"I mean, even if the seventh node is gone, the mounds won't be able to find the direction to the eighth node for a while, and we will set off immediately and rush to the eighth node to set up a defensive line."

"Don't know the location? Unless Lu Feng and the others all died at the seventh node, as long as they retreated to the eighth node, wouldn't it directly expose the direction of the eighth node and the location of the entrance to the passage? ”

"Then what do you say, you can't really let Lu Feng and them all die there in order not to expose the location of the entrance of the passage, right?"

"That's not what I meant..."

"Enough!"

Looking at the increasingly noisy conference room, Mu Zhengfeng yelled directly.

Just now, they were all red-faced, and they all fell silent at this moment.

"Jiang Xingchen, come and talk about it!"

At this time, Mu Zhengfeng looked at Jiang Xingchen, and the others also looked over.

"I think the first thing to do now is to let the four ships including the Xiong Ji stop blocking and immediately retreat to the eighth node!"

"Everyone should understand that in the face of more than 200 insect mounds, the bear does not have the ability to break through insect mounds, and no matter how much you block it, it is nothing more than killing some war insects, which has no practical meaning."

"As for delaying time, how long can it be delayed?"

"If the last one is not good, all four warships will have to be accounted for there."

"So, instead of letting them do this pointless thing, let's get them out of the way immediately!"

Standing up, Jiang Xingchen said slowly.

But immediately someone refuted it.

"Captain Jiang, if Lu Feng and them evacuate, wouldn't it directly expose the location of the passage leading to the eighth node?"

"Yes, indeed, but it's only the entrance location, and even if you know this location, those bugs will be able to reach the eighth node? Not really, right? ”

"This..."

It was the captain of the frigate Shangfu who spoke, and at this moment he also reacted.

Jiang Xingchen was right, even if he knew where the passage to the eighth node was, it didn't mean that the Starry Sky Zerg would be able to go to the eighth node immediately.

How wide is the inside of the passage, and is there any sudden narrowing?

Also, what is the length of the channel?

You don't know any of this, so you dare to jump directly to the eighth node?

Definitely not.

Even with the female worm's keen sense of spatial turbulence, it will take several days to determine how long this passage is and whether it is safe throughout the process...

Then you dare to jump directly to the eighth node, right?

"I understand, by the time these worm mounds reach the eighth node, it will already be a few days later, and at this time, Lu Feng and they have all returned to the Canglan system, and those starry sky zergs naturally have no way of knowing where the entrance to the passage to the ninth node is."

The captain's eyes suddenly lit up, and he finally "understood" what Jiang Xingchen meant.

However...

Right in the next moment.

"No, I'm not going to let them stay on the eighth node, but I'm going to take the initiative to tell them where the entrance to the ninth node is!"

What?

Hear this.

Everyone in the room was confused.

Are you Jiang Xingchen still going to be the leading party?

It's outrageous!
