When the fortress rose to an altitude of seven or eight kilometers, locusts had already swarmed over it in dense numbers.
Wu Zhen couldn't help but ask, "Boss?"
"Wait a moment," Qu Jianlei said calmly, staring at the space above his head.
No one knew that before the sixteen starships took off, twenty-two starships from outer space launched an attack first.
There are still two starships in one group, but the two groups form one large group, a total of five large groups.
There is also a small group of starships that serve as mobile support.
These twenty-two starships not only launched attacks in waves, but also rushed towards the dense encirclement.
This seemingly seeking death angered Lin Hai, a foreigner.
When the four starships in the first large group were about to come into contact with Lin Hai, they turned and fled, attracting countless aliens to chase them.
Then came another large group of attacks, just like peeling off the skin of a bamboo shoot, peeling off one layer and then another.
After peeling off the third layer, the front was quite empty, and the fourth group directly penetrated more than 8 million kilometers before escaping.
The fifth large group... continued to penetrate more than 10 million kilometers, and then escaped again.
At this point, a passage has been opened out of the 30 million-kilometer-thick encirclement.
Seeing this, the nearby alien races tended to come to help - after all, there was a gap here.
However, the arrival of help was not very fast. Even though they were from a different race, they still had quite a sense of territory.
Moreover, for this planet, they have entered the "slow digestion" stage, and there is no need to pay too high a price.
But even so, the channel has a tendency to gradually narrow.
At this moment, Qu Jianlei in the fortress said, "Turn on the electromagnetic belt!"
The effective power of the electromagnetic belt's attack from the ground to space can reach 7,000 to 8,000 kilometers, and even farther away, it's a little less powerful.
The dazzling light pillars all around rose again, and the locusts that continued to attack were all hit, unable to get closer to the mobile fortress.
Wu Zhen did not wait for Qu Jianlei's order and made a decisive decision, "Laser weapon full attack!"
The main target of the attack at this time was the locusts clinging to the fortress - now they were almost all over the outer wall of the fortress.
These migratory locusts have done a lot of damage to the protective shield. I have endured it for so long, and finally I don’t have to endure it anymore!
The locust outside the fortress was suddenly attacked and fell down with a crackle.
Some migratory locusts saw that the situation was not good and subconsciously wanted to avoid it. Unfortunately, there were electromagnetic bands blocking them from the outside.
It didn't take long for the locusts outside the fortress to be wiped out.
At the same time, the speed of the fortress finally increased, and it rushed upward desperately.
This has reached the most critical moment. Whether we can break out of the tight encirclement depends on the next 30 million kilometers of sprint.
At this moment, countless people's eyes are staring at the screen, "Faster, faster, faster!"
Unfortunately, however, the speed of the fortress is really average, that is, the speed of ordinary cargo starships cannot keep up with ordinary warships.
The positioning of the war fortress was originally to provide fixed fire support and was not known for its speed.
Such a big movement attracted the attention of other shelters. Some were confused, some were shocked, and of course some were cursing.
For a time, Bacon Sanctuary received many communication requests.
At this time, there was no point in blocking the communication, so a dedicated operator connected the conversation.
Most of them came to inquire about the situation, and many people complained that the Bacon Refuge should have notified them in advance.
It was too late to say this at this time, and the operator didn't bother with them. He just said that our escape plan was very dangerous.
Who doesn’t know that the danger is great? But at least there is some hope, right?
Higgins' communication also came in, and he had already realized that the arsenal had secretly completed the fortress project.
He demanded very forcefully from the opposite side, asking Wu Zhen to talk to him.
But Wu Zhen had already expected this and told the operator in advance not to notify me of anyone else's communications.
Higgins's request was declined. He was so angry that he cursed and demanded that the fortress turn back immediately and assist the headquarters to evacuate.
He emphasized very solemnly, this is a military order! This is a military order! This is a military order!!!
However, the operator said that the vast majority of the people in the fortress are ordinary people. We are sorry, but we cannot coerce them into joining the battle!
He originally wanted to get over it and finish the job. Anyway, he had already escaped here and his life or death was uncertain, so there was no need to worry about this.
But Higgins' tone became tougher each time, and in the end he threatened to enforce military law.
The operator was really annoyed and couldn't help but say something back.
"We risked our lives to explore the way to escape, and it was also a test for the entire alliance. I didn't expect that we might die at the hands of our own race!"
The shelter where the headquarters is located has a ground-based rail gun. It is not difficult to destroy the escape fortress.
In particular, the fortress is rising straight up, and the trajectory is easy to judge.
But in the end, the railgun didn't fire.
But the foreign forest sea wandering in space finally discovered the escape fortress, and sparse black lines began to shoot towards it.
Qu Jianlei took over the command center without hesitation, which was what he had agreed with Wu Zhen before.
Wu Zhen had doubts about his command ability. There really weren't many soldiers with rich experience in space combat in the military factory.
But there is no way, this is a prerequisite agreed in advance, if he does not agree, they will not accept the task.
In Qu Jianlei's words - "No one understands space warfare better than me"!
In the end, Wu Zhen realized that the other party's companion... seemed to think this was a natural thing?
Then you can be sure that the other party's level of command...at least won't be too bad.
Qu Jianlei took over the command center, but it was not convenient to expose the big-headed butterfly.
Finally, he and Xiaohu were able to communicate without any hindrance and quickly issued instructions one after another.
The reaction speed of turning his hands like this is somewhat slower, but it is already the best choice he can make.
Wu Zhen watched the whole process of his command, his mentality changed from suspicion to shock, and finally turned into endless admiration.
"How many space battles have you participated in? Which alliance force are you from?"
There is no doubt that such elites can only come from the most elite troops in the alliance.
Qu Jianlei was not even interested in looking at him. If he wanted to avoid the black line of the huge space fortress, he had to concentrate on it.
As for fighting back? You would absolutely not dare to do so. It is purely seeking death.
If it were a real war fortress, it wouldn't be so embarrassing.
But the problem is... both offense and defense have shortcomings, especially attack power, which is really bad.
However, even if Qu Jianlei directed with all his concentration, the fortress was inevitably attacked.
This is really not his own problem, but the reality.
Not to mention that it was him who directed it, even if Xiaohu took control of it himself, it would not help - the only thing that was missing was a few black lines.
But fortunately, it is built according to the war fortress after all. No matter how high the defense is, it will not be much worse.
The fortress resisted the attack of the black line and continued to run wildly, looking like it was desperate to get out.
The surrounding sea of trees noticed its purpose, and came from all directions to fill its place.
At this time, they no longer care about the territory of their own species, and letting food escape is intolerable.
But even so, their territorial awareness means that their replacement speed is not too timely, and their numbers are not large.
But the fortress would not fight back even if he was beaten to death. Facing the trees lying in front of him, he would rather hit them and knock them away, and continue to run away.
When the fortress rushed out 10 million kilometers away, the forest sea in front began to become sparse.
But the entire fortress was in dilapidated condition and looked like it was about to collapse at any time.
The current fortress is surrounded by forest from top to bottom, facing all-round attacks.
However, after being attacked by so many black lines, it could still continue to run wildly, which surprised even the alien Lin Hai.
It can be seen from the attack frequency that the black lines sent by Lin Hai are getting fewer and fewer.
This is related to the fact that the fortress does not fight back - the hatred level is not that strong. The key is that the alien Lin Hai believes that it may collapse at any time.
If this is the case, why consume so much energy?
However, when the fortress ran 20 million kilometers away, it still did not collapse.
By this time, we were already outside the encirclement, and the people on the ship began to relax.
It is still impossible to fight back. Although the aliens in front are scattered here and there, once hatred arises, the consequences will be too terrible.
After running for another two to three million kilometers, the forest sea of aliens in front became increasingly scarce.
However, migratory locusts began to appear, blocking all directions of attack on the fortress.
Wu Zhen glanced at the calm guy next to him, and really wanted to ask aloud - "Aren't you going to attack yet?"
Qu Jianlei seemed to feel his emotions and glanced sideways at him, "You still have to endure it."
Suddenly, two starships appeared four to five million kilometers ahead. After frantically attacking a wave of forest seas, they fled sideways.
Then two more starships appeared, and they still operated in the same way, drawing a wave of hatred and then leaving.
Seeing this, Wu Zhen couldn't help it anymore, "How many starships have you prepared?"
The shelter's observation equipment was not bad. When taking off, he noticed that there were sixteen starships helping to attract firepower.
And the starships he provided were only twelve in total.
The starships now appearing in front are obviously to assist our own team in breaking out of the encirclement.
Only then did Qu Jianlei look at him and let out a sigh of relief, "We found someone else's warehouse next to yours."
Wu Zhen heard this and opened his mouth in astonishment, "There is actually a starship inside?"
He didn't think there was anything wrong with the other party's misappropriation of the starship - in times of war, if you want to survive, you must do whatever it takes.
The problem is, in that relatively safe place, someone actually left idle resources?
This is really incredible.
Qu Jianlei replied calmly, "So your luck is not bad. Just relying on those twelve starships will be enough."
"Indeed," Wu Zhen nodded after hearing this, "Then now...can we abandon our shell?"
Everyone's mood gradually relaxed, not without reason, because the shabby appearance of the fortress was just a facade.
