Everything that followed developed just as Weisang had expected, without any surprises.
He brought gifts and visited several more powerful superiors in the expeditionary force that he could contact. As a result, those superiors turned a blind eye to the more obvious omissions between the "combat report" and the spacecraft records.
, and even took the initiative to cover it up.
No one cares what the hell is going on here,
There is only one thing that everyone cares about, and that is what they can get from this incident.
As a result, some rewards fell smoothly on Weisang's head. Although there was not much left after excluding the gifts and the promised share of rewards to the sub-human warriors, under normal circumstances, it would take several years.
Income.
Until now,
Ten days have passed since that thrilling escape.
this day,
The sub-human warrior "Blackwater" has finished his duty.
Finally I can go back to the dormitory and take a rest.
Next to him, "Ye Maocao", who is also a sub-human warrior, is nervously cleaning up.
Blackwater knew that Ye Maocao had received the call-up order and would set off in five hours to participate in a new interstellar patrol mission. However, the recent development of the war situation has not been smooth, and one's own warships often set off to perform patrols and clearing missions.
At that time, the attack occurred. However, because the enemy is so elusive, whether one's side survives the attack usually only depends on luck, that is, how many enemy warships are nearby at the same time.
If there are only one or two ships, you can still survive. If there are three or more ships,
Then it's almost dead.
It can even be said that every time you go out to perform a mission, you are wandering through the gates of hell.
If you are not careful, you will lose your life.
However, wild hair grass is Blackwater's only friend.
At this moment, looking at his friend's slightly nervous figure and feeling his slightly depressed mood, Heishui's heart was filled with complicated thoughts.
Time passed quietly, and no matter how reluctant I was to leave, it was finally time for Ye Maocao to set off.
At this moment, Wild Hair Grass's eye circles were slightly red, and there seemed to be tears brewing in them. He faced the black water and opened his arms.
The two hugged each other.
"My friend, pray for me, hope I can come back again."
Heishui also felt heavy in his heart.
If the wild hair grass dies, I will have no friends anymore.
At this moment, something seemed to rush out of his heart and he could no longer suppress it. He left all his previous fears and promises behind.
"Wild Hair Grass, you are my only friend in Black Water. I want to tell you something, these things,
Maybe I can save your life at the most dangerous time..."
…
The wild hair grass finally set off,
Leaving this huge space carrier,
Together with his comrades, under the leadership of the commander, we stepped into the dangerous space.
At this moment, in the "Comet"-class combat spacecraft, Li Heng and the soldiers watched with excitement as the water tank that had been mostly empty for a long time was finally filled. The bathroom, which had been under strict power restrictions for more than a year, could finally be used around the clock.
It's open.
"Don't say anything. Take a shower first! Take a shower! Damn it, I'm itching to death."
"Give it a good rub!"
"Captain! Can you please clean the water circulation system? I almost forgot what water without the smell of engine oil smells like."
"Haha, no problem!"
Even though every combat spacecraft is equipped with the most complete water circulation and purification system possible, whether it is urine or sewage, it can be recycled again, but the efficiency cannot always be 100%. The slow reduction of water resources cannot
Avoided. When water cannot be replenished for a long time, the water source will be in short supply, and soldiers will have to find ways to save water.
Now, the water shortage dilemma has finally been solved. These more than 20 tons of water are enough for people to use for the first half of the year.
After comfortably experiencing the feeling of having sufficient water, the soldiers returned to their original appearance, became energetic, and their morale greatly increased.
At this moment, Li Heng knew clearly that the changes within the enemy had reached a critical point from quantitative to qualitative changes. But the real moment of breaking the situation had not yet come, and the battle would continue.
In the days that followed, there was still uninterrupted lurking and uninterrupted transfers. Perhaps it was because luck suddenly changed for the better. In less than half a month, an enemy ship was destroyed by our own side, truly achieving the goal.
The purpose of "opening".
About a month later, Li Heng seized an opportunity again.
Another enemy ship was captured.
"We are very lucky. Each team should cheer up and kill this lone enemy ship!"
But this time, they did not achieve their goal. Under the remote observation equipment, Li Heng clearly saw three tentative attacks from different directions - this showed that there were three of his own warships and they had already reached an active attack.
The minimum requirement - after that, the enemy ship made little resistance, opened the belly of the ship, and threw out several large metal boxes.
Just like the enemy ship we encountered when we paid for our lives.
Li Heng and Zhang Ruofei looked at each other, and both saw a hint of joy in each other's eyes.
Because they know that this means that "paying the money to buy your life can save you from destruction" has been passed on among the enemy's front-line soldiers with a high probability.
After confirming that there was still pure water in these metal boxes, the enemy ship was also allowed to leave.
Gu Zhen
"Captain, our water tank is full. There is no place to put the water."
"Then throw it away."
Li Heng gave the instructions without hesitation.
One soldier said angrily: "You only know how to send water, but don't know how to send anything else? If you ask me, it's better to kill this enemy ship. We have to let them know that water alone is not enough."
Li Heng smiled and shook his head: "This water is no longer important to us. But... the enemy has no water, which is very important to us."
Zhang Ruofei also smiled and said: "I would like to know how long the water source stored in the space carrier can sustain under such consumption."
"Okay, keep fighting!"
About 20 days later, Li Heng finally seized another opportunity.
They once again encountered a lone warship. However, after launching a tentative attack, there was only one attack from other directions.
This means that there are only two own warships at this position at this moment. And the two warships have not reached the minimum limit for active attack.
Although he felt regretful, Li Heng could only issue an order and give up this opportunity: "We are not strong enough to form a local advantage. Order, random maneuver, transfer and concealment!"
The words had just fallen, and before the soldiers in the control team even had time to start the operation, Li Heng suddenly saw an astonishing scene from the remote observation screen.
For some reason, the enemy ship actually opened the belly of the ship and released several large metal boxes!
"Here, are these aliens crazy or stupid... We don't have enough strength, aren't we the ones who should run away? Why should we pay for our lives at this time?"
One soldier couldn't help but muttered in a low voice.
Li Heng thought quickly for a moment and finally made a decision.
"This may be a conspiracy. But... we still have to confirm."
It was still the same process as before. The escape boat carried the robot and detection equipment and sailed to the big metal box. The combat spacecraft was ready for random maneuvers. If something went wrong, it could escape immediately.
But the test results showed that the contents of these large metal boxes were still pure water!
The enemy with an advantage in combat power faced an obviously weaker side, but he still paid for his life!
what does that mean?
Li Heng and Zhang Ruofei looked at each other, each feeling ecstatic.
"If you dare to send them, I will accept them! Order, let them go! No, we are the ones who need to hide as soon as possible!"
The enemy ship fled in a hurry, and Li Heng commanded his own spacecraft to leave the place in a hurry.
After lurking like this for several more days, at a certain moment, a harsh alarm suddenly sounded in the spacecraft. Li Heng was startled, and the soldiers calmly aimed their external observation equipment at the coordinates displayed by the alarm, and
Immediately start random maneuvers to avoid possible incoming attacks.
But... what the soldiers finally observed was just a large metal box.
The same large metal box that contained pure water when the enemy ship paid the life money before.
After testing, Li Heng discovered that there was still pure water in the big box.
"Where does this... come from?"
The soldiers looked at each other.
"There's an enemy ship out there! Maneuvering at full speed!"
Suddenly, the roar of a soldier made people's hearts rise again. But soon people discovered that the enemy ship's maneuvering direction was not towards their own side, but away!
It seemed to be escaping hastily! And based on the route trajectory, it seemed that the enemy ship was only a few thousand kilometers away from our own side...
It's only a few thousand kilometers away. If the enemy ship launches an attack, our side will almost certainly have no hope of survival. Especially, we haven't discovered the enemy ship at all!
After thinking hard for a moment, Li Heng finally understood the logic behind this encounter.
"This enemy ship has been hiding there. We accidentally maneuvered here without discovering them. The enemy ship mistakenly thought that we had discovered them, and before we could launch a tentative attack, they simply exchanged words with each other.
Did you run away with the money to buy your life?"
"this……"
"But we only have one battleship... but we didn't find them at all... aren't we the ones who should escape and be destroyed?"
At this moment, Li Heng finally confirmed one thing. That is, after the previous quantitative changes led to qualitative changes, the real moment of breaking the situation was finally coming.
