245 The Wind Rises (Part I)
Udir smiled and said with deep meaning: "Why, you don't even know me?" ”
Ellen frowned and slapped Udir's hand on his arm, "What the hell are you...... Me, my hands? ”
Seeing that he actually raised his arm, Ellen looked surprised, and hurriedly looked at the injured part, only to see that the gap had been filled with pink and tender flesh buds, like a new life.
Udir nodded in satisfaction, and without Ellen's consent, reached out and pressed his hands on her wound.
Ellen looked disgruntled and tried to break free, but found that Udir's hands were as steady as iron tongs, and no matter how hard he tried, he didn't move.
"The new tissue has grown, and it is best not to take a bath or do heavy physical work in the near future, and when this color becomes consistent with other skin, it will basically heal." Udir let go of his hand, closed the medical kit on the side, and stuffed it back into the combat instrument.
"Buzz ......"
Ellen looked up and saw the two mechs he had seen before.
The mecha was loud, hovering over the two of them, its head turning back and forth, guarding the surroundings.
"My mission is complete, and it's up to you." Udier's eyes showed a look of amazement, and he glanced at the ruins not far away with his peripheral vision, grinned, shook his head, groped and took out an object half the size of a palm from his arms, stuffed it into Ellen's hand, and said seriously: "This thing, remember to give it to Gong Chenxi." ”
The palm of his hand was slightly hot, and Ellen looked at the object he stuffed, which was a thin sheet made of an unknown alloy, densely covered with metal wires that looked like gold and non-gold, full of future technology.
"How do I ......?"
"Don't lose it, it's important, as for how to give it to her, that's your business." Udir interrupted her, smiled, jumped on the mecha in a few steps, and flicked his fingers on his brows, as if to say goodbye to Ellen, in her puzzled gaze, the cockpit armor was closed, the head light of the mecha was turned on again, and then rushed into the air with a buzz, and after merging with the other two mechas, the formation flew to the south.
Ellen watched as they slowly turned into black dots until they disappeared, and her face was dazed.
"Squeak, squeak."
"Who!"
Hearing a strange noise nearby, Ellen shouted violently like a conditioned reflex, his body tensed, and he was on full alert, as if he was facing a great enemy.
"It's me, Sister Ellen."
Gong Hao walked out from behind the rubble, his face worried.
Seeing that it was Gong Hao, Ellen secretly breathed a sigh of relief, forced a smile, and said with concern: "How are you, aren't you injured?" ”
"It's fine." Gong Hao shook his head, took out a small red book from his waist, opened it to one of the pages, and handed it to Ellen.
"What is this?" Ellen wondered.
"The people who hunted down us may have something to do with their identities."
Ellen wrinkled her eyebrows and took it, the reason why the two of them were not in the shelter at the moment was because from the intercepted enemy telegrams, they learned that this was the place where they were hoarding supplies, and with the intention of giving it a try, Ellen did not inform others, and decided to go deep alone, and when she arrived here, she found that what was waiting for her was not materials, but six enemies of the elite awakening level.
With one-on-two-on-three, Ellen is still a little sure with her ability, and against six, it is basically a mortal ending, just when she is in a hard battle and struggling to support, Gong Hao, who has been following her, attacks from the shadows, kills an enemy and quickly escapes, and then helps her attract an enemy, and then ......
"You killed another one?" Ellen said in surprise, looking at Gong Hao up and down, although he killed one person before by sneak attack and a little luck, but after all, it was an elite awakening level, not a roadside cabbage, it was enough to surprise himself if he could do this, and now he killed another one, doesn't that mean that Gong Hao's real strength is stronger than himself?
"It's not me, and when I go, that's all that's left on the ground." Gong Hao shook his head, touched his chin, paused for a few seconds, and continued: "I can sense that the person who killed him is not strong, and he is even weaker than me overall, but, anyway, it's very strange." ”
Ellen was noncommittal, after all, there are too many abilities that are not understood by the world, and it is normal to be strange, after thinking about it, she said, "Is it someone near us?" ”
Gong Hao clenched his fist on the tip of his nose, muttered for half a second, and shook his head, "It's the first time I met him, but I remember his energy fluctuations, and the next time we meet, I will definitely be able to recognize it." ”
Ellen nodded, looking at the contents of the small red book.
"The sacrificial identity certificate of the Royal Capital Sacred Temple?" Ellen raised her eyebrows, her face was different, and she turned her hand to look at the cover of the little red book, which was impressively engraved with the gilded logo of the Holy Courtyard.
……
Three hundred light-years away from the thirteenth star sector, the Frigga has just broken out of the jump wormhole and is waiting for the results of the ship's self-inspection.
"Report, the self-inspection is completed, there is no abnormality in the whole ship's system, and the energy surplus is sufficient."
Chief of Staff Qiu, who was standing in the command area, nodded, and his two fingers kept sliding on the panel of the entire system, and for a long time, he ordered the hundreds of operators below:
"Prepare for the second jump."
"Received, spatial coordinates are determined, and the jump engine begins to charge." The commanding officer passed the order, and the entire bridge suddenly became busy.
"The spatial coordinates are confirmed, and the No. 1 and No. 2 jump engines are in a state of readiness."
"The jump wormhole is clear, and there are no other ships."
Glancing at the various system indicators, they all showed normal, according to the rules and regulations, this has met the requirements of the jump, the commanding officer nodded, and said: "Start ......"
"Doodoo ......"
At this moment, an alarm suddenly occurred in the bridge, and the red light flashed incessantly.
"Alert! Illegally registered vessels are detected! ”
The system's mechanical prompt sounded across the bridge, and Chief of Staff Qiu raised his eyebrows, not understanding why the radar did not give early warning, but he made a decision in milliseconds, and ordered in a deep voice: "Turn off the jump engine, the whole ship will enter a state of three-level combat readiness, open the energy shield of the whole ship, and all units are not allowed to fire without permission." ”
Before the commanding officer could answer, a new system alarm sounded.
"Alert! Alert! A high-energy strike was detected on the port side! ”
"A high-energy strike detected on the port side!"
Chief of Staff Qiu's eyelids jumped, and he looked at the holographic projection on the port side on the large screen, and in the picture, the pitch-black universe suddenly lit up with hundreds of red points of light.
"Subjected to shelling! Sound the attack alarm! ”
Before Chief of Staff Autumn's roar could be fully spoken, a beam of explosive energy hit the Friga's pale blue shield, exploding a cloud of brilliant fireworks, and the reaction force generated by the explosion slammed the entire battle patrol from side to side.
"87% of the shield remains, the main gun crew asks for permission to fire!"
"Don't fire yet, determine the number of enemies." The chief of staff of Qiu directly rejected the request of the main gun team at the terminal, there were only two triple main guns on the Frigga , although the power was huge, but the reloading was slow, in case one shot did not destroy or severely damage the enemy, then the Frigga had no other defensive capabilities, and in the few minutes of the main gun loading, it could only be passively beaten.
"Enemy artillery is coming!"
"Turn off all engines, send all the energy to the shield generator, and increase the power of the shield!" Chief of Staff Qiu immediately made a decision and yelled.
Another blast beam hits the Friggia, but does no damage other than a 7% reduction in the hull's shield.
"Determine the enemy fleet, eleven ships with 30,000 tons of hulls, one ship with 80,000 tons, a total of twelve ships, all of which have explosive energy enrichment reactions!"
"Lock them on, and allow the No. 1 main gun crew to return fire with a single shot."
"Yes!" The officer received the order and hurriedly passed it through the command system to the command group of the No. 1 turret below.
In less than three seconds, the huge turret in the bow of the ship slowly moved to the target position, and the middle of the three barrels lifted a slight angle, aiming at the empty universe.
With the countdown cut, a red beam of light stretched out from the barrel, several times thicker than the previous shot, and shot straight towards the universe.
The beam of light decreases in the field of view until it disappears.
A minute later.
"The radar reports that five enemy ships have been destroyed, and the enemy's 80,000-ton ship is turning."
"Order turret No. 1 to fire freely, turret No. 2 wait for orders, release four squadrons of attack aircraft, let them improvise, and monitor them on the perimeter." Seeing that the enemy was so vulnerable, Chief of Staff Qiu breathed a sigh of relief and gave several orders in succession.
With authorization, the No. 1 turret no longer converged, the remaining two barrels opened fire one after another, and the squadron of attack aircraft also followed the direction of the shelling and disappeared into the projection screen.
Neither fleet could see each other with the naked eye, and the blast beams of different thicknesses came and went.
Ten minutes later, a message came from the squadron of attack planes that the enemy had been completely annihilated and that the battlefield was being cleaned up.
As soon as the alarm was lifted, before everyone could breathe a sigh of relief, Chief of Staff Qiu twitched his face, turned on the bridge radio, and rebuked sharply: "Radar command group, tell me, why did our radar not give early warning, is it eating?" ”
The entire bridge fell silent suddenly, only the heavy breathing of hundreds of people remained, seeing that no one responded to him, Chief of Staff Qiu was angry, and his heart was even more angry, and the creaking sound between the palms of his hands reached the ears of every operator through the radio.
"Guards, arrest all the radar command groups, and they will not be released until the results of the investigation are out!"
As soon as Chief of Staff Qiu finished speaking, dozens of heavily armed Imperial soldiers rushed into the operation area below, escorting six of the officers in front of him.
"Sanchez, I'll give you a chance to explain." Chief of Staff Qiu glanced at him coldly and said lightly.
"Report, all radars show no anomalies." The officer named Sanchez straightened his back and saluted back.
"Huh."
Chief of Staff Qiu sneered, "You're telling me that we are under an unknown ......"
"The report that the squadron of attack aircraft has cleared the battlefield, this is the preliminary conclusion sent by them." The commanding officer's fingers slid down, and the report reached the holographic screen in front of Chief of Staff Qiu.
Glancing at the conclusion of the report, Chief of Staff Qiu snorted, his face was even more smiling, he turned his head to look at Sanchez, and said in a playful tone: "Are you going to tell me that we were attacked by a group of star thieves beyond visual range?" ”
"Star, star thief?" Sanchez was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, still reiterating his opinion.
"Report, even pirates, all radars, no anomalous displays!"
Chief of Staff Qiu didn't bother to listen to his explanation, waved his hand, and motioned for the guards to take them all away.
When everyone's backs disappeared behind the alloy door, the commanding officer stepped forward, lowered his head slightly, and whispered: "Chief of Staff, I have checked, the radar system has not been moved, and during that time, there has been no abnormal reaction, if they can't be found, I'm afraid it can only be ......"
Seeing the appearance of the commanding officer who wanted to speak and stopped, Chief of Staff Qiu frowned, "Say." ”
"I checked the database and found that someone had added the code of a friendly ship to it, and I am afraid that it is because of this that they can blend into our radar range and not be detected."
Chief of Staff Qiu narrowed his eyes, and his tone sank, "Can you find out who added it?" ”
The commanding officer shook his head, "This man is very skillful and has left no traces. ”
Chief of Staff Qiu sighed, stretched out his hand and pinched his frowning brows, and said in a deep voice: "Order, remove all command group authority, and transfer all to the command system." ”
The commanding officer immediately straightened up and saluted, "Yes, Chief of Staff." ”
……
"It's over?"
Jemiro poked his head out from under the cabinet and asked the people in the living room.
At this time, Gong Chenxi was sitting on the sofa, frowning and looking at the message on the terminal, half-ringing, she hummed softly, nodded and said, "It's over, you don't have to hide under there." ”
As if not believing her, Jemuro waited a little longer to make sure that the ship did not shake again, and then he relieved himself and got out from under the table.
"What are you looking at?" Huang Yi took a sip of milk, seemingly unconcerned about the fierce battle just now.
"Don't you think it's strange?" Gong Chenxi said.
"Strange?" Huang Yi turned his head and looked at Avrica, and repeated suspiciously.
"The message on the terminal, this is from the attack of the star thief." Gong Chenxi said in a deep voice, looking puzzled, pressing his lips from time to time.
"What's so strange about that." Huang Yi shrugged his shoulders, grabbed a handful of the snack bag in Avelica's hand, and stuffed it into her mouth, like a good sister.
"If you were a star thief, would you attack the Imperial army, or a million-ton battlecruiser?"
"Maybe these star thieves don't have a good brain." Huang Yi didn't care, so he chirped and raised the bar while chewing.
"You ......" Gong Chenxi opened her mouth, thought about it, why bother with a woman who didn't understand anything, shook her head and said: "Forget it, you don't understand it anyway, it's useless to say it." ”
As soon as these words came out, Huang Yi's face suddenly showed an unhappy expression, she shook the hand that had just eaten a snack, put her hands around her chest and said, "Who said I don't understand?" ”
Gong Chenxi looked at her more genuine look, pulled the corners of her mouth, showed a mocking smile, and said slowly: "Then tell me, what did you find?" ”
Huang Yi's tone was suddenly suffocated, and his mouth was stunned for a long time, and he couldn't say why.
Gong Chenxi shook his head with a smile, his eyes narrowed into a slit, staring at the terminal screen, and his tone was light.
"Have you ever seen a star thief attack an imperial army beyond visual range?"
"What are you kidding?" Huang Yi raised her eyebrows, although she didn't know the specific data, what she knew was that even the worst warship in the empire was enough to use the technological generation difference on the device to beat the star thieves, how could it be the other way around......
"You don't believe me?"
"What do you say?"
Gong Chenxi smiled secretly, raised his eyebrows and said, "What are you betting on?" ”
"Still betting?" The corners of Huang Yi's eyebrows jumped, and his heart palpitated.
"As usual, do you want to come?"
"Come on, if you don't believe it, you won't believe it!"
Hearing that Huang Yi should gamble, Gong Chenxi took off the terminal on her wrist and threw it to her.
"If you don't believe me, look at it."
