Half an hour later, the convoy was far away from the enemy's nest, but the density of giant insects nearby was much higher than that near the enemy's nest. However, the space station was about to fly away from Qiongzhou, and the laser beam covering the convoy was extremely slanted.
But it doesn't matter, another space station is about to approach, and the cover window will only last three to five minutes.
At this juncture, a bright red line of fire suddenly fell from the sky, falling straight to the southeast like a meteor. The moment it hit the ground, a bright light flashed, and the line of fire suddenly turned into an exploding mushroom cloud!
Ye Han was so shocked that he almost jumped up and quickly contacted Bei Yuezhou to inquire about the situation.
The result was very unexpected. Beiyuezhou's answer was that there was a swarm of insects ahead and heavy weapons had to be used.
But don't worry, the weapons used this time are not nuclear weapons, but space-based kinetic energy weapons used to blow up enemy nests... The military also doesn't want alien captives to be exposed to radiation, otherwise they will definitely bomb them with neutron bombs.
Also, the military deliberately avoided highways, so the explosion would not affect the movement of the convoy.
Ye Han felt relieved now, but only a little - there will definitely be more insect swarms in the future, and he knows without asking that the military will definitely use the same method to deal with the insect swarms!
In the next hour, the same situation happened three more times!
At this time, half of the more than 100 kilometers of straight-line distance had been traveled. Ye Han thought that he would encounter more insect swarms next, but in fact it was completely the opposite. As the convoy advanced, the insect swarms became less and less.
After a little thinking, I figured it out. This is because this place is exactly in the middle point between the Qiongzhou base and the enemy nest. The insect swarm is either attacking the Qiongzhou base or going to support the alien nest, so the distance in the middle becomes a vacuum zone!
The convoy continued to move forward, and after a while, they suddenly heard a sharp roar caused by the passing artillery shells!
Ye Han was shocked. Before he could figure out what was going on, a group of shells had already fallen from the side and in front... There was an abandoned village. The shelling that lasted for more than a minute destroyed all the remaining buildings in the village, completely destroying the village.
Blast flat.
Only then did Ye Han realize that the convoy had entered the effective range of the naval guns. Without the cover of a space battleship or a space station, the aircraft carrier battle group could also be called on to cover the insect swarm with artillery fire!
Thinking of this, he breathed a long sigh of relief... When he got here, he was half-stepping into the Qiongzhou base, which was much safer than the first half!
The next trip was indeed much safer. Although there was a wave of shelling from time to time, the number of bugs encountered by the convoy was reduced by more than half.
More than an hour later, the convoy successfully arrived at the Qiongzhou base and drove directly into the underground bunker.
Ye Han immediately contacted Beiyuezhou and found Wu Han directly: "Commander, we have returned to the Qiongzhou base, and there are no casualties among the alien prisoners!"
"Very good!" Wu Han was very satisfied. "I just spoke with Beidu. Beidu ordered you to escort the alien prisoners north and send the prisoners to Beidu."
"How to get there?" Ye Han asked.
"Get on an aircraft carrier!"
"Yes, I will organize troops to board the ship immediately!"
"Go ahead and pay attention to the safety of the prisoners. Once on the ship, you are still responsible for the prisoners!"
"clear!"
After the communication ended, Ye Han immediately conveyed the order from Beidu and asked the soldiers to prepare for the transfer to the aircraft carrier.
It happened that the special service team had not yet settled down, so after communicating with the Qiongzhou base, the special service team immediately escorted the prisoners away and transferred them to the aircraft carrier.
After locking the prisoners into a specially vacated cabin, Ye Han let out a long breath, and a big stone fell in his heart.
He immediately thought of Qi Jingwen who stayed in the alien lair, and Xiao Yuan and others who went to southern Xinjiang.
Ye Han immediately inquired about the situation in these two directions... The battle at the enemy's nest in Qiongzhou is still going on. Most of the insect swarms on Qiongzhou Island are still gathering towards the enemy's nest. The motorized infantry led by Qi Jingwen cannot withdraw in a short time. It is expected that the battle will at least continue.
It lasts for three days.
But don't worry, the military is very determined this time, and Qi Jingwen has no shortage of support. Unless the insect swarm doesn't attack, the insect swarm can be driven back even with nuclear bombs. It's only a matter of time before they withdraw.
In contrast, the situation in southern Xinjiang is more complicated.
The alien nest in southern Xinjiang was also hit hard by space-based kinetic energy weapons, but the effect was not as good as in Qiongzhou, and there was no water vein to flood the enemy nest.
Xiao Yuan led two combat groups and auxiliary offensive mobile infantry to attack twice but failed to break into the enemy's nest.
Just at this time, Beidu received news that Qiongzhou had successfully captured aliens. Beidu simply stopped counting on Southern Xinjiang and directly ordered the troops to retreat, smashing more than 20 metal rods at the enemy's nest in Southern Xinjiang.
, first penetrated the core area of the enemy's nest, and then launched a nuclear bomb into the enemy's nest, which blossomed in the center and destroyed the alien nest in southern Xinjiang in one fell swoop.
Xiao Yuan is currently on his way back and will be able to return to the aircraft carrier in a few hours.
Ye Han was just about to take a look at the situation abroad when he suddenly received a communication from Beiyuezhou.
After the communication was connected, a serious-looking Wu Han appeared on the screen: "Ye Han, the plan to go north is cancelled. You must escort the prisoners back to the Qiongzhou base immediately!"
"Yes!" Ye Han agreed immediately.
Wu Han added: "Beidu has issued a new order, requiring you to take off in a spaceship and return the prisoners to Beiyuezhou as soon as possible. The laboratory in Beiyuezhou has been notified and is forming a research team to wait for the aliens.
Sent back."
"Understood!" Ye Han agreed neatly.
Although the plan has changed, Ye Han doesn't feel bothered at all.
This time he could not only return to space, but also return to Beiyue Continent... For some reason, his heart was full of expectations.
But Ye Han immediately thought of Xiao Yuan and others: "Commander, have everyone returned? There are two groups of people who have not returned!"
Wu Han shook his head: "You guys come back first, the other two groups have other arrangements!"
"Yes!" Ye Han was a little disappointed, but he didn't hesitate at all when he agreed.
Ye Han immediately conveyed the news. The soldiers who had only rested for a short while quickly got up, put on their power armor again, and escorted the prisoners back to the Qiongzhou base.
Qiongzhou Base also received orders from Beidu. When the special service team returned to Qiongzhou Base, technicians were inspecting the spacecraft in orbit. A few minutes later, the technical director announced that everything was normal and the spacecraft could take off at any time.
Ye Han immediately led the prisoners in and fixed them firmly in their seats. Then the soldiers entered the cabin one by one, sat in their seats and fastened their seat belts.
After getting ready for liftoff, Ye Han reported the situation to the command room. The base started the launch procedure, and the reactor output power increased steadily. A strong current penetrated the electromagnetic track. The spacecraft began to slide along the track, speeding up rapidly and pushing back strongly.
The feeling pressed everyone tightly to their seats.
A few minutes later, the spacecraft took off smoothly.
