"Combat alert, combat alert, everyone reports to combat positions immediately. This is not a drill. Repeat, this is not a drill!"
Along with the sound of the battle siren, Lu Feng's voice echoed in every corner through the ship's broadcast.
Just now, a large number of communication points in the monitoring network spread across the seventh node lost contact.
However, nothing was detected on the radar.
Looking at the large "lost" word in the star map, Lu Feng frowned.
Obviously, the invisible insect mound has appeared again.
"Can we locate the specific location through the interference area?"
"Yes, the bearing is 3-2-2, the distance is 17880, the error will not exceed 300 meters!"
Nodding, the radar officer replied.
"Have we searched over there?"
"The search has been completed and no safe channel has been found."
Hearing this, Lu Feng fell silent.
Have you searched?
That side is not the edge of the surveillance array. If there is no passage for intrusion, how could this insect mound suddenly appear in this location?
According to normal logic, the alarm at the edge of the monitoring array must be triggered first, right?
"Captain, more worm mounds appear!"
Just as Lu Feng was thinking, the radar officer shouted again.
"More? How many areas in the monitoring network have failed?"
"No, Captain, it was directly scanned by the radar."
"Non-invisible...amount?"
"11 and counting!"
"Give me the observation screen!"
"Yes, Captain!"
Soon, an image was displayed on the main screen of the bridge.
That was an edge area of the passage, and at this moment, insect graves one after another were suddenly appearing from that location.
That's right, it appeared without warning, just like a jump.
But Lu Feng was very sure that they did not arrive through a jump, and there was no sign of the generation of gravity waves.
In other words, there is something wrong with this location!
If your guess is correct, the intrusion channel should be here. As for why it was not discovered during previous inspections, we can only study it later.
"Adjutant, record this position, and at the same time order the Jingwei, Chongming, and Blackbird ships to move closer to our ship and form a battle array!"
"Yes, Captain!"
"Communications officer, pick me up from fleet command!"
"Yes, Captain!"
------
Canglan Star, Leader's Mansion.
The Suhe family is enjoying dinner, of course, enjoying it together...
And Fu Wanting, who has lived here for more than a month
And just then...
Beep beep beep!
Jiang Xingchen and Fu Wanting's portable terminals rang at the same time.
After reading the information displayed above, the two simply said hello and left quickly.
And not long after the two left, Su He's communicator also rang.
"I'm Su He."
"What?"
"I know, I'll come right away, and you ask the others to wait for me in the conference room!"
Soon, Su He also left.
Only Ling Ruoxuan and Su Yingxue were left, with deep worry in their eyes.
Although they didn't know what it was, they knew that something big must have happened.
According to the order, Jiang Xingchen reported to the fleet headquarters, while Fu Wanting went directly to the Houyi to wait for orders.
Therefore, the two did not board the same shuttle ship.
After all, the fleet headquarters and the Hou Yi are not in the same airport.
More than ten minutes later, when Jiang Xingchen arrived at the combat conference room of the fleet headquarters, several captains were already here, including Luo Hao and Mu Qianshan.
Mu Zhengfeng, who was sitting in the main seat, looked very solemn at this moment.
Jiang Xingchen knew at a glance that something must have happened, and it was not a big deal.
Soon, in about five minutes, more than ten captains arrived. Except for the battleships that were on missions, the rest of the captains were already here.
Mu Zhengfeng didn't waste any time 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, probably as many as 200 in number.
"Eighteen minutes ago, the Xiong Kun reported that 1 invisible worm mound and 200 ordinary worm mounds had invaded the seventh node."
"At this moment, under the command of Lu Feng, the four ships stationed there are trying their best to block the attack, but as far as the current situation is concerned, the situation is not optimistic."
hiss...
After hearing the situation introduced by Mu Zhengfeng, everyone took a deep breath.
200 worm graves?
You know, in the past hundreds of years, the most number of insect mounds that humans have seen was at the time of Wuluo, but there were only a dozen or so.
And because of Jiang Xingchen's tactics, he didn't have a direct fight with him.
The result is now 200?
Just when everyone was shocked, Mu Zhengfeng continued.
"As far as we know so far, although most of the insect mounds dispatched by the Starry Sky Zerg this time are of the 300-meter level, there are also a full 5 of the 800-meter level, and the remaining more than 60 are of the 400-700 meter level.
of."
"In addition, there is an invisible insect mound. If nothing else, it should be the one the Qingluan encountered before."
"Let's talk about it, how to fight this battle?"
After looking around at everyone, Mu Zhengfeng asked.
"We should immediately assemble the entire fleet and rush to support the seventh node!"
"Don't be ridiculous. If you rush over now, it will take at least more than 30 hours to arrive. Do you think the Xiong Kun plus three frigates can withstand 200 worm graves for such a long time?"
"Then what should I do? I can't help but support it, right?"
"What I mean is that even if the seventh node is no longer needed, the Worm Mound will not 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 defense line."
"Don't know the location? Unless Lu Feng and the others all died in the seventh node, as long as they retreat to the eighth node, wouldn't that directly expose the direction of the eighth node and the location of the entrance to the passage?"
"Then what do you think we should do? We can't really let Lu Feng and the others die there just to avoid exposing the entrance to the passage, right?"
"That was not what I meant..."
"enough!"
Looking at the increasingly noisy conference room, Mu Zhengfeng yelled.
Everyone was red-faced just now, but at this moment they all became quiet.
"Jiang Xingchen, tell me!"
At this time, Mu Zhengfeng looked at Jiang Xingchen, and everyone else also looked over.
"I think the first thing to do now is to have the Xiong Kun and other four ships stop blocking the attack and immediately retreat to the eighth node!"
"Everyone should understand that in the face of more than 200 insect mounds, the Xiongkun does not have the ability to destroy the insect mounds. No matter how hard it is to stop them, it will just kill some war insects, which has no practical significance."
"As for delaying time, how long can it be delayed?"
"If the last one fails, all four battleships will have to be handed over there."
"So, rather than letting them do this meaningless thing, it is better to evacuate them immediately!"
Standing up, Jiang Xingchen spoke slowly.
But someone immediately refuted it.
"Captain Jiang, if Lu Feng and the others evacuate, wouldn't it directly expose the location of the passage leading to the eighth node?"
"Indeed, but it's just the entrance location. Even if we know this location, those bugs can reach the eighth node? That's not the case, right?"
"this..."
The one who spoke was the captain of the frigate Shanfu, and at this moment he also reacted.
Jiang Xingchen is right. Even if he knows where the passage to the eighth node is, it doesn't mean that the Starry Sky Zerg will be able to get to the eighth node immediately.
How wide is the inside of the passage? Are there any places where it suddenly becomes narrow?
Also, what is the length of the channel?
You don’t know all this, so you dare to jump directly to the eighth node?
It definitely won't work.
Even relying on the female insect's keen sense of space turbulence, it may take several days to determine how long this passage is and whether it is safe throughout...
Then you dare to jump directly to the eighth node, right?
"I understand, by the time these insect mounds reach the eighth node, it will already be several days later. At this time, Lu Feng and the others have already returned to the Canglan system, and naturally those starry sky worms have no way of knowing, leading to the ninth node.
Where is the node’s channel entrance.”
The captain of the Shangfu's eyes suddenly lit up, and he finally "understood" what Jiang Xingchen meant.
However...
Just the next moment.
"No, I don't plan to let them stay in the eighth node and wander around, but I plan to take the initiative to tell them where the entrance to the ninth node is!"
What?
Hear this.
Everyone in the conference room was stunned.
Are you, Jiang Xingchen, still planning to be a leader?
