Somewhere in an area where there is no spatial turbulence.
With the emergence of gravity waves, a large number of insect mounds arrived here through jump.
Not only the four major civilizations couldn't understand, but even these female insects couldn't understand why Merhaidi suddenly issued a retreat order.
In fact, the reason why it suddenly ordered the evacuation was a sign of its high intelligence.
At the beginning, the enemy only had more than 200 warships, which was not a problem for McHaidi at all. In addition, the other party was unprepared, and the Starry Sky Zerg directly controlled the situation without even paying much price.
But soon, this situation changed, and support from the other party began to appear continuously.
Sometimes there are dozens of battleships...
Sometimes hundreds of battleships...
However, McHaidi did not have any worries, because it could see that these supporting warships were rubbish, and even ordinary warworms could easily kill them.
After all, there is no shield system, and the weapon system is pitifully weak. It is completely different from the original 200-odd warships.
Therefore, even if within ten hours, support continued to arrive, and even if the total number of warships added up, nearly two thousand battleships arrived, it was not enough to make it vigilant.
Until the four major civilization garrisons from the floodlight star system arrive...
------
Although the survey fleet was beaten by the Star Zerg from the very beginning, McHaidi never felt that his opponent was weak.
On the contrary, he believed that the initial fleet was very strong, much more powerful than the warships that came later.
It can be seen from the loss of 38 worm graves alone that even though they were completely suppressed, the opponent still destroyed 38 worm graves under his command.
Therefore, when it discovered that more than 200 such warships had arrived, it decided to retreat.
After all, he did not have the ability to foresee and could not know that more such warships would come later.
You must know that the forces in its hands are limited. If it continues to fight a war of attrition like this, the consequences will be difficult to predict.
Of course, although this is a very important reason, it is not the whole reason.
On the other hand, Mahdi was already on the verge of evolution.
For thousands of years, it's not that it doesn't want to evolve, it's that it's unable to evolve.
Because all the creatures it can find in the Death Nebula have been eaten up.
Although it retreated this time, it had gained a lot from the ten hours of fighting.
At this moment, it was looking at the delicacies that were being brought to it by the war bugs, and its saliva was even drooling, dripping onto the ground.
Although most of them are lifeless, and many are just broken pieces, it doesn't matter.
The important thing is that as long as you eat all these highly intelligent creatures, you may be able to break through the last window and be promoted to a second-level female insect.
By then, it will be much easier to deal with the warships outside.
Therefore, there is no need to foolishly engage in this battle with the opponent with unpredictable results when the situation is unclear.
After a while...
Continuous screams continued to be heard from the central cavity of the insect mound.
------
A few days later.
It is 1,700 light years away from the Death Nebula.
Yutian star system.
"Captain, we have arrived at the outskirts of the Yutian star system."
"Have you found any traces of the Scorpion Pirates?"
"No!"
"Sure enough, is it the same as what was said in the intelligence..."
After hearing Fu Wanting's report, Jiang Xingchen began to think.
According to the information obtained by Su He, the Scorpion Pirates Group is different from the other two pirate groups. Generally speaking, the Interstellar Pirate Group will not occupy a star system as a base.
After all, the fundamental survival of interstellar pirates is to prevent other civilizations from finding your home base. Otherwise, you will definitely be encircled and suppressed by a certain civilization or multiple civilizations.
But the Scorpion Pirates are a strange group. Unlike other pirate groups, they directly occupy the Yutian star system as their home base.
Of course, the civilized garrisons around them have not thought about encirclement and suppression, but the problem is...
As long as the army approaches here, the Scorpion Pirates will disappear completely. Even if they search the entire Yutian star system, they cannot be found.
After they withdraw, the Scorpion Pirates will immediately launch revenge on these civilizations that participated in the encirclement and suppression.
They may focus on your merchant ships to rob them, or they may attack your lone warships, etc.
As time went by, no one dared to launch an encirclement and suppression of the Poisonous Scorpion Pirate Group.
This is also the reason why the Scorpion Pirates have occupied the Yutian star system for hundreds of years and continue to rob fleets, but they still survive to this day.
"Keep moving forward, target Loulan star orbit!"
"Yes, Captain!"
------
at the same time.
In an asteroid belt in the Yutian star system.
"Old man, which civilization's battleship do you think this is? There is no matching result in the database?"
The leader asked the people beside him.
Although he called him an old man, no matter how you looked at it, the person standing next to him at the moment looked like he was less than thirty years old.
"Wait a minute!"
His eyes continued to stare at Hou Yi in the picture, with a trace of confusion flashing in his eyes.
In fact, the appearance and style of this battleship is inexplicably familiar.
And at the next moment, he seemed to notice something. He quickly came to a console and started to operate it with his hands.
Soon, the battleship in the picture was zoomed in, and a close-up of its side was given.
"Hou Yi Hao..."
"Descendant?"
"Is this really... or is it a trap?"
Looking at the three words "Houyi Hao" in the picture, he fell silent...
Although he wanted to contact the other party directly to confirm his suspicions, he did not dare to act rashly.
But if this was a trap, then all the hard work he had put in over four hundred years would be lost in one fell swoop.
On the side, the leader also saw the three characters Hou Yi in the picture. After all, the picture had been enlarged to such an extent that he would be really blind if he couldn't see it.
However, he also understood why the "old man" hesitated.
"Old man, let me go there. Even if I am discovered, at most I will just jump away and escape, and then come back after a few months."
"Well, that's good too!"
After pondering for a while, the "old man" nodded and said.
"But you must remember that if anything goes wrong, jump immediately!"
"I know, I know, old man, you are getting more and more verbose."
After waving his hand, the leader walked out of the room directly.
More than ten minutes later.
The bridge of Houyi.
"Captain, a cruiser was found, distance 9200."
"Well, where did it come from?"
After hearing the radar officer's report, Jiang Xingchen asked.
"It's unclear. It appeared on the radar out of thin air, and no trace of the jump was detected!"
"Captain, an unknown cruiser is sending us a communication request!"
Just as the radar officer finished speaking, the communications officer spoke immediately.
"Captain, doesn't this look a little like the Scorpion Pirates?"
"You are right. According to the intelligence, the Scorpion Pirates never communicate with ships of other civilizations, let alone initiate communication requests."
After hearing Fu Wanting's words, Jiang Xingchen nodded in agreement.
"What about us?"
"No rush, let's listen to what they have to say first, but let the battle group be ready to jump at any time according to the coordinates we provide."
"clear!"
"Communications officer, take it over."
"It's the captain!"
Soon, as the screen on the main screen of the bridge switched, a figure wearing a blood-red battle suit appeared on it.
Because the whole body was covered, Jiang Xingchen couldn't tell which race it was, and could only confirm that it was a humanoid creature.
However, this information is useless because most of the advanced intelligent creatures in the galaxy are humanoid creatures.
"Who are you and why are you here?"
Well, if you ask this question, the people on the bridge of the Hou Yi will be a little confused.
Are you sure you are that brutal interstellar pirate?
Would an interstellar pirate ask such a question?
However...
When the leader asked this question, the expression under his mask was also a bit surprised.
Is it really a human being?
However, even as a human, he does not dare to be too careless.
Because many civilizations will purchase human slaves with battleship control skills to fight for their civilization.
However, although it is not uncommon in the galaxy for humans to appear in battleships, it is really a rare thing if the names on the outer shell of the battleship are written in human characters.
In addition, there was another thing that concerned him. The appearance of the guy in front of him gave him a very familiar feeling, but the problem was...
No matter how much he thought about it, he couldn't remember where this familiar feeling came from.
At the same time, the person who was called the old man by the leader was receiving the communication screen simultaneously...
When he saw Jiang Xingchen, he was stunned.
Immediately, he forcibly cut into the communication.
As a result, on the main screen of the Houyi's bridge, the screen was suddenly cut into left and right sides.
On the left is still the leader who is wearing a battle uniform and whose face cannot be seen, while on the right is a man who looks about 27 or 8 years old.
The key is that everyone on the bridge can be sure that this new man appears...
It's human!
"Old man, what the hell are you doing and why do you want to show your face?"
"Shut up!"
"Damn it, are you crazy..."
"Be quiet, now!"
Everyone looked at the two people shouting on the main screen with confused expressions.
"I said...can you explain the situation first before continuing?"
Hearing Jiang Xingchen's voice, the two of them also became quiet.
Immediately, the man on the right, whom the leader called "Old Man", focused his attention on Jiang Xingchen again and stared at him.
"Child...what's your name?"
child?
Are you calling yourself?
Speaking of which, this person is not much older than me. Isn't it strange to call him a child?
"Are you asking me?"
"That's right kid, tell me your name?"
"Jiang Xingchen!"
boom...
Like a thunderbolt, it exploded directly in the "old man's" mind.
Jiang Xingchen?
Jiang Xingchen!
This appearance, this name...
But the key is, the time is not right!
A full four hundred years difference!
No, further confirmation is needed!
"Then do you know Jiang Zhuliu and Chu Yanxi?"
At this moment, everyone on the entire bridge looked over in surprise.
In fact, it is impossible for anyone who has received formal education in Canglan Star not to have heard of these two names.
One is the 73rd president of the Star Sea Federation, and the other is the dean of the First Class Academy of the Star Sea Federation.
"Who are you and why are you asking me this question?"
At this moment, Jiang Xingchen was very sure that the man in front of him connected him with Jiang Zhuliu and Chu Yanxi, and directly doubted whether he was the son of these two people.
Obviously this matter is a top secret in Canglan Star. Counting himself, there are only five people who know about it.
However, the difference of four hundred years made it impossible for him to confirm his identity 100%.
However, for some reason, Jiang Xingchen felt that he could trust the person in front of him, although he didn't know why he had such an idea.
"Answer my question first. There are some things I cannot say until you confirm your identity."
"Well, if you are talking about these two people, the two people from four hundred years ago, as far as I know so far, they should be my parents."
"But...how do you explain these four hundred years?"
"My adoptive parents told me that they found me in a crashed shuttle ship. I was in a strange sleeping cabin at the time."
Shuttle ship crashes...
Weird sleeping cabin...
It took nearly four hundred years for him to wake up...
Everything is correct, this child is indeed...
After hearing Jiang Xingchen's words, the "old man" suddenly became excited.
I originally thought there was no hope, but now I find that although it is four hundred years late, hope still exists.
"Good boy, wait a moment!"
After getting excited, the "old man" said while operating something.
And the next moment.
"Captain, we found an abnormality, this is..."
"What's wrong?"
"This... Captain, you'd better see for yourself."
The radar officer didn't know how to describe it, so he directly displayed an observation image on the secondary screen of the bridge.
In the picture, the originally empty space seemed to have taken off its disguise at this moment, slowly revealing its true appearance.
It was a very large airport group, and within this airport group, there were many battleships and spaceships docked.
However, none of these attracted everyone's attention, because...
Beside this airport group, there is also a huge battleship docked, its size is even larger than this airport group.
When he saw the name engraved on the battleship, Jiang Xingchen's eyes suddenly widened.
