[Hello, the area you are approaching right now is - Delta Shelter]

[Evacuees are requested to enter the shelter in an orderly manner from the designated area, and all hostile acts are prohibited during the process]

[This place is protected by the "Continuation Fleet", and the security alert level is: highest]

【……】

A string of signals that have long been familiar to some galactic civilizations is being played in a loop in this special galaxy.

All ships passing by will be able to receive signals of the same content, and all sentient beings except the "Unexpected Enemy" are welcome.

As early as the outbreak of the "Civilization Annihilator" crisis, the "Delta Shelter" appeared in front of the eyes of the galactic civilization.

One of the "refuge areas" pointed out by the "guardians" at the time was this "Delta Sanctuary".

Due to the difference in the actual interstellar position, only a few refugees were able to rush to this shelter with hyperspace engines under the threat of "civilization annihilators".

But all the refugees who have returned from the shelter have praised the beauty of this circular world designed for "refuge".

Just like the "Epsilon Shelter" that Li Wenyuan originally obtained, the "Delta Shelter" was designed with the specifications of the "Epsilon Shelter" at the beginning of its construction.

In addition to accommodating a huge galactic population, this huge circular world also has quite complete production facilities, and it is not difficult to accommodate the overall life and development of civilization.

The underground of the Ring World is also full of planetary fragments that have been dismantled and used to fill the base, and there are all the resources needed for the development of early civilizations.

Even the vegetation here has been specially cultivated, and the rhizomes are nutritious and edible.

Even if the civilization of the Ring World has degenerated to the primitive era, the abundant food source can allow the civilization of the primitive era to progress rapidly and return to the interstellar world by relying on the facilities in the Ring World.

It can be said that the ring world is not only a powerful boost for interstellar civilization, but also the cradle of primitive civilization, it is an almighty giant structure, and each civilization wishes that the more ring world in its hands, the better.

However, the cost of such a giant structure is not cheap, and in addition to the "Ring World Shell" that requires astronomical alloys to build, it is also a time to carry the planets used for filling.

Even if the theory of building a ring world has matured, not many galactic civilizations will build such a "face project".

After all, the "spectacle" is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the effect is not immediate.

They are more inclined to "pie in the sky", looking for the ownerless ring world in the galaxy and then taking it for themselves.

This is not without its successes, as there was an interstellar war involving dozens of civilizations, caused by a near-damaged ownerless ring.

Most of the parts of the world have been damaged or destroyed, except for a small part that still retains its original function, and even this small part is enough to cause a bloody storm.

However, the ring world that the guardians used to provide them with "refuge" is a complete ring world.

Not only that, but judging by the location of the other "shelters" mentioned in the "Aid Announcement", there is more than one such circular world.

In order to ensure that even if they fail, they can pass on their civilizations, basically all civilizations send a spark to the "shelter" area of the "guardian".

And the long bet is also a compulsory course for civilizations to flee, in addition to the spark sent to the "guardian", each civilization is also carrying out its own "tinder plan".

This includes hiding underground on some mundane planet, and expecting to live underground for at least thousands of years until it survives the crisis.

As for those who are still holding the position of civilization, they are frantically absorbing the knowledge of the "guardians", trying to overcome the crisis and preparing for the end of the crisis.

But time seems to be waiting for no one, and the abnormal fleet movements of the "guardians" and the "unexpected enemy" finally let them see the shadow of some kind of "end".

"Emergency, the route that used to be frequently attacked suddenly calmed down! The hostile signals of the full star map are also rapidly disappearing! ”

"But this is not an evacuation, it seems that the 'unexpected enemy' is gathering a scattered fleet, and they may have changed their war strategy!"

A large amount of information is transmitted across the distance of the galaxy to the decision-makers of each civilization.

The "unexpected enemy" has curtailed this policy of carpet "purification" for unknown reasons, either because it is considered inefficient enough, or because it is to concentrate forces on someone who has been getting in its way.

It's hard not to get noticed about such a fleet move, and like rivals who know each other well, the "Guardians" also stop the fleets that patrol everywhere and gather them in an unknown galaxy, as if they are also preparing for something.

The imminent feeling of a great war is like a ticking time bomb around the heads of galactic civilizations, and the sense of calm before the storm intensifies.

Once again, civilizations are frantically absorbing knowledge and trying to build their own starships using half-hung ship technology.

The "Guardian Fleet" stationed in the home system remained in the distance as if unaffected, and did not follow the fleet's movements, as if it was the most important thing for them to be stationed there.

As time passed, the Milky Way was calm as if there was no crisis, but the reddening of the "Unexpected Enemy" territory on the star map was a constant reminder that the current crisis was still in place, and the "Galaxy Focus: Unexpected Enemy" was still unresolved.

And under the increasingly solemn atmosphere, a certain red and purple mark finally appeared in the star map again.

"Report, the reappearance of the 'unexpected enemy' fleet has been detected! Predict the ...... according to the route traveled The goal is 'Sanctuary'! ”

After obtaining the "Tachyon Suppressor", a magical weapon against high-mobility natural disasters, through the "Guardian", almost all civilizations have installed similar equipment in their own jurisdictional systems to prevent the "unexpected enemy" from carrying out "decapitation operations" everywhere by means of jumping.

Now the "unexpected enemy" will have to use the "hyperspace" method to approach their galaxy as well.

After hearing the content report, the representatives in the "Star Sea Community" felt a little strange about this information, because it was different from their prediction.

They thought that the "unexpected enemy" would concentrate its forces to eat away at the galactic civilization little by little, and the "shelter" was the least likely place to be attacked at the moment.

Although the sparks of various civilizations are nominally gathered here, in reality the population is really limited, and some hesitant civilizations do not send sparks here.

The total number of sparks gathered here by the entire galaxy is not even one thousandth of the number of civilized races, far less than the number of people still holding the position of civilization.

"The 'Unexpected Enemy' made such a big move, it is impossible for it to be just to attack the shelter! I don't think it's really going to be there, what else is there near the 'shelter'? ”

The representative of "...... there" seemed to know the situation in the galaxy that accompanied the "shelter", and then his face changed slightly:

“…… In addition to the 'Sanctuary', there is a huge superstructure of unknown function nearby...... As far as I know, the galaxy in which the giant structure is located is called the 'CPU' by the 'Guardians'! ”

Hearing this, not only the speaker's face changed, but all the observers' hearts unconsciously beat a beat.

"If I'm not mistaken...... 'guardians' seem to be using the mutilated 4% computing power to control the whole situation, right? If the 'CPU' is destroyed......"

“…… At best, the 'guardians' will leave us forever, just like the cycle of life and death. Think about it...... He may go berserk because of the destruction of the processor, and wipe out all enemies in a way that is more extreme than the 'unexpected enemy'. ”

"- And what about the fleet of the 'guardians'? It is clear that the 'unexpected enemy' is trying to force the 'Guardian' to fight it by destroying the central processing unit, but where is the main force of the 'Guardian' at this time? ”

Some people were constantly suspicious, until the signal in the star chart changed again.

"Signal to the 'Guardians' fleet has been discovered! They appeared in ......"

The leader hurriedly checked the state of the star map, and then his voice was interrupted for a moment, and then he continued as if he had seen something incredible:

"They're approaching the core of those four 'unexpected enemies'! Just as the Unexpected Enemy tried to destroy his processor and shut it down, he was ready to use a similar method to stop the Unexpected Enemy! ”

Immediately someone followed up and asked, "Why did the 'guardians' adopt such a risky approach?" The defender should always be the one who should have the advantage, right? ”

At this point, someone, who had been silent from the beginning, finally spoke:

“…… Because there are not enough troops. ”

His words drew attention and silenced the hall.

"There are more 'unexpected enemy' fleets this time than we have seen before, so much so that I even suspect that such a number of fleets are actually the hole cards of 'unexpected enemies'."

"Didn't you notice?" The Guardian's fleet is always wearing out, but we've never seen his dockyard, and perhaps his fleet was only that large from the start. ”

"Until now, it has been impossible to contend with the 'unexpected enemy', and can only resort to risky means."

"I guess you all know what I mean, right?"

His gaze was extremely sharp, and he seemed to see through the minds of everyone in the room.

At this time, the warships of the "guardians" stationed on the home planets of their respective civilizations still did not move.

It seems that the crisis of the "central processing unit" still cannot compare with the responsibilities they shoulder, even if they are about to fall, they must be "protected" until the last moment.
