In the Feinan, Yang Luo, who had just woken up, looked at the information summary bar in front of him, and his mood gradually sank.

"Boss."

Yang Luo rubbed his forehead: "Is there still no trace of the Valkyrie?" ”

"Yes," Ritsu whispered, "we underestimated the difficulty of finding her in the vast interstellar space, and there was no pattern to the ghost ship's activities. ”

Yang Luo groaned a few times, but he didn't hesitate too much.

"When we look for another forty-eight galaxies, if we can't find them, we will shrink the whole line, and the Molly Miss Mining Group will only carry out economic business in the future."

"Yes, boss."

Yang Luo got up and walked to the corner, and began to move his body to maintain his combat readiness.

Meanwhile.

Sherman Empire, Skywrath Fortress, somewhere in a war room.

Grace and several captains of similar rank were standing or sitting behind the long table of the conference, and two gray-haired female bosses were explaining the next plan of action.

This merchant ship that disappeared half a year ago, the Blue Charm, or rather the Charm Blue, this damn naming convention!

"In short, this ship has appeared in our monitoring network five times in a row, and once it was very close to the monitoring station on the periphery of the Emperor Star Circle."

"The last time I photographed it was two days ago, doesn't it look familiar to you in this star field?"

Grace looked at the meteorite belt that was circled by the commander, and frowned: "The area where the Valkyrie War was encircled two years ago. ”

"That's right," the female boss gave Glyss an appreciative look.

Several captains on the side pouted and rolled their eyes, and wrote their dissatisfaction on their faces.

Grace didn't care much about his brother's small emotions, and continued to mutter: "What does the above mean is that you suspect that the Valkyrie is not dead, and then she is still doing evil?" ”

"That's not the conclusion we came to that conclusion."

Commander said:

"This is what Professor Kigrove's original team agreed on."

It was also a few core members of the team, and after analyzing the various signs of the ghost ship and its trajectory, they believed that there was a thirty percent chance that it was the Valkyrie who controlled the ship and used her mind control methods.

They are the people in the Empire who know the characteristics of the ancient gods best, and who know the Valkyries best.

"The Valkyrie in their mouths will gradually evolve into the biggest threat to the Empire, and there will be a crisis that threatens the safety of the Emperor Star."

Grace shook his head, "I admit that Valkyrie is the strongest modder I've ever encountered, and she surpasses our definition of biomodification, but that's an exaggeration. ”

"Her appearance was a coincidence," the Commander said slowly, "she is the daughter of Professor Kigrove, the only daughter, but fate played a joke on Professor Kigrove, her body index perfectly matched the needs of the experiment, and Kigrove gave everything he had for the Empire." ”

The faces of several captains suddenly changed.

The commander sighed, "The Valkyries hate the Empire because of all this. ”

Grace gasped and muttered, "If that madman could do such a thing, how can he prove that the Valkyrie has a connection to this ghost ship?" ”

"There's no way to prove it," the commander said, "but even if there's even the slightest suspicion, we'll investigate." ”

"Moreover, this ghost ship itself is somewhat abnormal, and it is the mission of our army to deal with these abnormal events."

One of the captains nodded: "After all, we are idle." ”

Grace smiled but didn't say anything.

The commander said with a solemn face:

"The military has sent one hundred and twenty-five exploration ships, as well as three independent wings, to conduct a wide-area search in this area, and the nearby trade routes have been temporarily rerouted, and the surrounding administrative stars have also sent more than 300 defense warships to search for the traces of this ghost ship throughout the region."

"Everything is done in secret."

"Based on the performance of this merchant ship, and the efficiency of its emergency charging system, we conclude that it cannot leave this border."

The commander drew a large circle on the star map.

"Do you understand how you guys gather your team members and leave the base in the next two galactic hours and head straight to the area?" //

Grace and several captains stood up at the same time, and shouted with full anger:

"Yes."

Two galactic hours later.

The three special ships left the Heavenly Fury Fortress and jumped directly in the area of gravity influence of the fortress, rushing into the vast deep space.

"Boss, the Sherman Empire has suddenly mobilized a large number of ships to conduct a search in the area in front of us."

"A large number of ships?"

Yang wondered, "How many?" ”

"According to the information I have just captured, there are at least four or five hundred exploration ships, coming from various administrative stars in the vicinity. w。 ”

Ritsu moaned softly:

"There are also a large number of military detection ships operating together, and their range of activities coincides with the airspace we are going to explore next."

"I'm getting more information."

Yang Fan had a bad premonition: "Check again." ”

"Okay boss."

Lu remained silent, and Yang Luo took out the airspace map, and quickly marked a series of marking points according to the information he currently had.

During this time, they traveled all over the small uninhabited deep space, invested a lot of money, built a network, and placed monitors, but only found a few clues.

And now, the Sherman Empire is likely to get ahead of them and find the ghost ship first.

"Boss, they're looking for the Blue Number."

"I know," Yang Luo scolded, "but this also shows that the route we have determined at this stage is likely to be correct, this is the Sherman Empire, and the official information of the Empire must have more than us." ”

Yang Luo exhaled lightly and continued: "Let the Feinan and Dongfeng stop temporarily, I have to think about countermeasures." ”

"Yes, boss."

The Feinan and the Dongfeng were stationary at the same time.

Of course, there is no absolute stillness in the universe, space itself is expanding, large clusters of galaxies are moving towards larger gravitational sources, and stillness is still a relative concept.

Yang Luo quickly made up his mind.

"Let the Dongfeng maintain long-range reinforcements, and do not enter the airspace ahead unless absolutely necessary, it cannot be directly exposed to the sight of the Empire." Yang Luo said, "The Feinan and the White Ghost have entered the front area, and if they find out, we will issue a coordination request, saying that we suspect that there is a swarm of insects hidden nearby." ”

Ritsu thought carefully and reminded, "If the Valkyrie is really found in the airspace ahead, boss, do you want to fight the Valkyrie as a white ghost?" ”

"No," Yang Luo thought for a while, "I will judge according to the situation, don't worry, I am very sorry for my life, if the conditions are not ripe, it is impossible to collide with the Valkyrie head-on." ”

Ritsu said, "Moreover, if you appear near the Valkyrie, she should sense your presence. ”

"Didn't you make two sets of signal shielding equipment for Hera?" Yang Luo smiled, "If I'm not mistaken, there is also a set on the Feinan, move it for me." ”

"Okay boss, I'll go overhaul it."

"Go ahead, I'll drive it myself."

Yang Luo made a gesture, and the suspended rudder of the Feinan floated over, and he held it tightly.

Fate is such a thing, after all, you still have to hold it in your own hands.

The Feinan is in full stealth mode, accelerating towards the airspace ahead.

Through its long-term infiltration of the Sherman Empire's network, Ritsu has established an intelligence system that relies on civilian networks.

At the moment, this intelligence system is already operating at full capacity.

The Sherman Empire's search operation was directly ordered by the superior leaders of the special forces, and the administrative satellites and garrison space stations in this airspace urgently dispatched idle ships to cooperate with the work.

Because the order was issued too quickly, many administrative commanders directly used dual-use ships in order to achieve the target.

This provides a window for the law to spy on the official actions of the Empire.

A steady stream of news was summarized on the projection screen at Yang Luo's hand.

Discover traces of the Sherman Empire's special forces;

All the ships involved in this airspace search have obtained all kinds of information about the blue;

The Imperial military sent a large number of ships, and although there were no heavy fireships, this part of the combat power could not be underestimated.

There are all kinds of indications that the Sherman Empire has indeed set their sights on the ghost ship, and suspects that it may be hiding some 'weapon' of mass destruction.

Otherwise, they will not use special forces.

Ritsu was amazed: "It would be better if the Valkyrie was directly killed by the Sherman Empire." ”

"It depends," Yang Luo said, "What I'm worried about is that the empire's belief in getting rid of the Valkyrie is not strong enough, and it still wants to catch it back for research." ”

It's highly likely," Ritsu reminded, "but even if that happens, I wouldn't recommend that you do it under such conditions." If the Valkyrie is caught by the other party, there is a chance that she will replicate the way she escaped last time. ”

Yang Luo muttered, "Would she still run away like that, right?" She still left a clump of cells in a hidden corner. ”

"Yes boss, it's almost inevitable," Ritsu said, "One of the main purposes of our initiative this time is that after defeating her, you can try to sense the location of the cell mass she left at close range, and then never suffer from it." ”

Yang Luo nodded and began to remain silent.

The Feinan entered the search area of the Sherman Empire.

It followed a civilian ship and slowly advanced towards the middle of the encirclement network constructed by the Sherman Empire.

Two hours later, the civilian ship was suddenly asked to stop moving forward and return the way it came.

Yang Luo's tense nerves shook slightly: Did they find the ghost ship?"

The law did not answer immediately, but searched and confirmed the information with all his might.

About half a minute later, several pictures appeared in front of Yang Luo's eyes.

It was on the periphery of a yellowish gas giant, beneath the magnificent ring of gas and dust, the blue-and-white painted cargo ship was silently levitating.

It's as small as dust.

It doesn't seem to have any life fluctuations.

Whether it is intuitive sensing or instrument data display, it has no signs of life.

Yang Luo exhaled softly.

His mood was a little complicated, and at this moment, some irrepressible desire to fight was burned.

Only by defeating the Valkyrie can he live a stable life and lay out and plan more important events without worries.

Just make a break here?

No, you can't have this kind of thinking, otherwise it will affect your judgment.

At present, the Sherman Empire has officially intervened, and it must obtain the maximum benefits and minimize the losses under this premise.

"Boss, the ships of the special forces arrived in the area and sent several dinghys."

"Let's also lean in and observe the periphery," Yang Luo said slowly, "Set the particle transmission landing point on the deck of the ship of the Imperial Special Forces and keep it at the farthest distance." ”

"It's a bit risky good boss, I'll execute it."

The law did not persuade much.

On the Dongfeng, Mimily and Kolev skillfully completed the jump preparations, they stared at the information shared by the law, and secretly pinched the sweat for Yang Luo.

Compared to a super cyborg, the Sherman Empire is significantly more terrifying.

On those few boats that rushed forward quickly.

Grace frowned and looked at the cargo ship in front of him, and a little nervousness appeared in his heart.

He was rarely nervous, and the last time he felt nervous was when he faced the swarm of insects in the mountains and tsunami on the Zubin Star Battlefield.

"Boss," several team members in the rear laughed, "It's really important for us to go up there, so just let us explore the way, and just blow up this ship." ”

"They want data, and no one knows if there are survivors in it," Grace said. Don't complain, it's fair that all three of our brigades have sent their own elites. ”

The men and women each chuckled.

There were a total of six people in the dinghy.

Grace is a 'well-rounded' warrior, shouldering the responsibilities of a captain, observing the situation and responding to commands.

Two muscular bio-warriors, equipped with super-powerful defensive shields, are the two gates of the squad.

Two mechanically modified fighters equipped with mechanical prosthetics, each connected to a remote fire control and detection device, can carry out a small area of fire suppression in a short period of time.

There is also a general transformation warrior, the same type as Gris, who is mainly responsible for communication and firepower, and will continue to pilot the airship later.

The other two squads are all in a similar configuration.

Grace glanced at his watch and said, "Check the equipment, we'll enter through the middle hatch of the cargo ship." ”

The six of them were busy in silence.

The airship began to slow down, and the six people were pulled forward slightly by inertia.

The six people activated the spacesuits, took up the jetpacks, the left and right hatches of the airship opened, and a total of eighteen elite fighters of the special forces left the three dinghys and flew to the cargo ship a few kilometers ahead.

"Chief, there is a faint life reaction inside, and this distance is barely discovered."

"It may be in an emergency shelter or a nutrition warehouse."

Grace nodded.

More detailed detection data, he had already obtained it before, there were some dead and terrifying corpses, and there was a life reaction on the bridge.

It was also based on these detection data that the above decided to send them to explore.

The jetpack lit up the aura.

Grace picked up the laser rifle and aimed it at the hatch, and the two biochemical warriors took the lead, and one of them unfolded his lightsaber, piercing the hatch and sliding slowly.

Grace and two other mechanical modders turned on the fire insurance at the same time.

There was a muffled thud, and the hatch slowly slid down.

There is no air outflow.

Simulated gravity is normal.

The hatch was quiet, and there was no light.

Grace's Adam's apple trembled a few times, and the spear flew in first, captured by simulated gravity, two strong men stretched out their lightsabers, and a female mechanic in the back lit up the ball floating over her shoulder, completely illuminating the cabin.

"Ahh

The few corpses in the cabin were terrifying, and the newcomer mechanical transformer couldn't help but scream, and immediately covered his mouth.

Grace didn't bother to look at her, just glanced around vigilantly.

Feinan.

Yang Luo had no way of knowing what was going on in the cabin, so he could only calculate and sense it carefully from a distance.

There is no breath of a Valkyrie for the time being.

Did she hide inside a gas planet?

It's a terrible environment.

Yang Luo muttered in a low voice: "Doesn't the Sherman Empire like drone technology at all?" Why not arrange a few drones to explore the path first? ”

Ritsu muttered, "They're going to calculate the cost." ”

"It's not cheap for special forces to make you!"

"Who knows," Ritsu smacked his lips, "the Empire believes more in human power, perhaps." ”

Yang Luo just wanted to laugh and tease a few words, but suddenly a trace of irritability suddenly appeared in his heart.

That strong enemy, just around the corner.
