Chapter 680: Despair After Surviving

More than a dozen hours later.

Di Rong received the loss reports of the other two echelons one after another.

It was now left with only exhaustion and numbness inside.

In the next three months.

The three fleeing echelons separated from the Six-Claw Expeditionary Fleet were attacked by twin neutron shells several times.

Among them, the most unlucky echelon of the Chinese army encountered a large number of twin neutron shells that fired to hit the six-claw fugitive fleet, and was instantly wiped out.

And in the forward echelon where Di Rong is located, there are only 7 space battleships left.

In the rear echelon, there are only 15 space warships left.

At this time, among the forward echelon, among the only 7 remaining space battleships, the lucky Di Rong is checking all kinds of information.

"I haven't encountered an enemy attack in over a month! This means that we may have escaped from the enemy's strike range."

Deputy Captain Ba Zhang asked with some confusion, "Commander! What are we going to do now?"

Di Rong lamented, "It is impossible to return to the home planet, judging from the enemy's attack range, the other party has locked on the home planet and the other fugitive fleets, and now we can only rely on ourselves."

As for notifying the home planet and other fugitive fleets, it's really useless.

Because they have now figured out the enemy's weapon, which is a particle weapon that can travel near the speed of light.

Even if they had already sent an early warning to the home planet and other fugitive fleets as soon as possible, it was estimated that when the home planet and other fugitive fleets received the warning signal, the enemy's strike would follow.

Without faster-than-light communication and faster-than-light navigation technology, it is basically difficult to react to the strike of near-lightspeed weapons.

Now Di Rong can only pray to the gods, and there is nothing he can do about other things.

What's more, at this time, the forward echelon is also difficult to protect itself.

Because they found that the fuel and supplies they were carrying had been consumed after continuous emergency acceleration.

If they can maintain a state of inertial navigation, then they can last tens of thousands of Earth years.

However, if you maintain inertia navigation, it is simply looking for death.

After all, the enemy's strikes are too targeted, and space battleships that sail by inertia are live targets, and they are too easy to attack.

In order to improve security, they have to change orbits drastically every once in a while, hoping to avoid enemy lock-ons in this way.

However, the constant change of track will definitely require the consumption of additional fuel and working fluid, which is a fatal problem for the remnants of the forward echelon who are already short of resources.

Even if Di Rong put 90% of the soldiers into a dormant state, reducing other unnecessary consumption, there is still no way to fill the shortfall in resources.

Di Rong's heart was very heavy: "If we continue like this, sooner or later we will perish because of the depletion of resources."

"Commander, why don't we search along the way and see if we can find a large dark star." Deputy Captain Ba Zhang proposed.

"Dark Star?" Di Rong was in a tangle.

Of course, it knows that there are some wandering dark stars in interstellar space.

If a dark star with a radius of more than 10 km can be found, they can be revived at full health.

But what makes Di Rong feel embarrassed is the risk of doing so.

Now their forward echelon is being watched by alien civilizations, and if they stop mining minerals and supplying supplies, they will inevitably need to stay for a while.

Di Rong feared that during their stay, they would be locked by the enemy and annihilated by the enemy.

But if they don't replenish it, they will definitely not be able to hold on, and sooner or later they will die out because of the depletion of resources.

Some people may say that you can't run away at full speed now, and wait until you have escaped far enough to stop mining the Dark Star and resupply the battleship.

Clearly, this is the ideal scenario.

In reality, interstellar space is not static.

The concentration of stardust and the density of dark stars in interstellar space are as difficult to determine as Brownian motion.

It is influenced by celestial bodies such as surrounding planetary systems, supernovae, and black holes.

In some areas of interstellar space, the concentration of stardust and the density of dark stars may be relatively high, and some places may be very sparse.

Therefore, when traveling in interstellar space, it is best for spacecraft to keep their supplies at more than 70% of their total inventory from time to time.

In particular, a spaceship in a state of fugitive, if it does not have enough material reserves, or even without the enemy's attack, may destroy itself.

Di Rong thought about it for several hours, and finally decided to quickly find the Dark Star for supplies, and then flee at full speed.

After deciding on the plan, the forward echelon also began to search for the surrounding dark stars.

In less than half a month, they found a dark star with a radius of about 19 kilometers, and then the forward echelon began to slow down.

Meanwhile.

After a sprint of about four months.

The first batch of twin neutron shells that had previously hit the Hexapus expeditionary fleet also began to arrive at the Hexapus Giant.

The Heart of Freedom and the Supreme Court, which had already fought the true fire, had not yet sensed the danger coming.

Just when Prince Aung was commanding the fleet and preparing to raid the main planet of the Heart of Freedom.

In his command room, six terrible ultrasonic sirens sounded.

[Alert! Received an early warning from the expeditionary force that the attack of the alien civilization is coming, please pay attention to avoid ......]

"What?" Prince Ang's heart tightened, and it reacted quickly: "Immediately enter the first-level alert ......"

However, it was too late.

Hundreds of millions of binary neutron shells crossed from the distant starry sky.

Boom Boom Boom ......

Those planets and space warships that happened to be facing the direction of the solar system were suddenly hit by a blow that was difficult to monitor.

A space battleship was torn in half in an instant.

On the surface of a rocky planet, dozens of mushroom clouds suddenly rose.

Horrific explosions.

Raging shockwave.

There are dozens of huge craters in the metal structure on the surface of the planet, as if a large pockmark has grown.

What's even more terrifying is that the orbits of some small natural satellites have been deflected by binary neutron shells.

However, the six-clawed superstar is too big.

And the twin neutron cannons fired by the Neptune particle cannon continued to kill.

Explode!

Mushroom Lonely Cloud!

Shock wave!

The wreckage of the planet and the battleship flew together, and the entire interior of the six-clawed giant was in chaos.

However, the true end of the Hexapus is yet to come.

Until the first full-load twin neutron cannon cannon shell hits the core equilibrium of the six-clawed giant.

In an instant, the entire galaxy system of the six-clawed giant began to be unstable.

On the back of the six-clawed giant, it seems that the organism has been hit by a bullet, and a large amount of hydrogen plasma erupts.

In an instant, a nearby planet was swept away by dense plasma, and the things on the surface of the planet seemed to be swept away by a violent wind.

And such blows are not over, but are coming in a steady stream.
