wandering planet

The key problem is that Linney and the others simply don't have the conditions to support ship-to-ship battles, and they have no way to head-to-head with the predator ships.

In order to obtain the Birog Ring, one must enter the Marauder's ship.

General Leeswright's opinion: In that case, lure the marauders to the ground of the Black Sea.

"There used to be equipment for fighting the enemy on the Black Sea, but all of them were dismantled." Lin Ni said, "Song Junxing told us that this is to prevent these equipment from affecting Marseille after the Black Sea is occupied. Now we have nothing to lure and plunder. whatever, whether it's light or sound waves..."

He stopped suddenly, and suddenly thought of something in his mind.

They once had a brush with the Marauder's comm frequency.

That was when the lifeboat left Gloria F and was on its way to Virgil.A Marauder ship beams an indeterminate frequency as it passes through the Sirius belt in search of other ships that may be present.They finally used the astral body to successfully evade the ship.

Not many Marauder ships will be in the area in such a short amount of time.Therefore, this enemy ship, which is only three days away from the Black Sea, should be the one they encountered on the road.

In other words, they could lure each other—the communication frequency at that time was also recorded on the lifeboat!

Linney suddenly became excited, and immediately told his father: "We have a way to seduce."

This possibility is worth a try.

After hearing his words, General Lee Swright immediately instructed: "Go and send a communication request now, but don't connect, just keep asking. The predators will be curious."

Lin Ni rushed out of the administrator's room and found Pierre who was learning how to feed chickens with Jiang Che.Pierre didn't dare to delay, and immediately went to the lifeboat, and according to Linney and the general's instructions, sent a communication request to the predator ship that day that he did not intend to respond.

Back in the room, Linney couldn't hide his excitement on his face.

He held up Song Junxing's weapons and ammunition records and told his father: "After luring the predator ships to the ground in the Black Sea, we will use the existing weapons to fight. There are currently six people in the Black Sea..."

After thinking about it, he eliminated Pierre and Tang Mo.

"The ones capable of fighting are four. We may need to lay some traps."

General Lee Swright listened patiently to him.It's been a long, long time since he had such a conversation with his own children, and this moment of conversation is especially precious to him.

"After the ship lands, don't act rashly. Try to lure the predators away from the ship. As long as they come to the ground of the Black Sea, they will definitely not be your opponents." General Lee Swright said.

Linney thought of a question: "Does Marseille know the predator form on this ship?"

"Not very sure, but it's definitely not liquid." General Lee Swright recalled for a while, "It may be in a humanoid form. Remember, predators have intelligence, not even lower than ours. It is not easy to transform and apply it to your own ships afterwards. Don’t be head-to-head. Song Junxing has lived in the Black Sea for five years, so listen to his opinions.”

The father and son were talking when there was a knock on the door.

Song Junxing opened the door nervously, and walked in with a few people behind him.

Linney: "What are you doing here?"

Song Junxing: "Say hello to the general. Let's go."

He drove Lin Ni away and pushed Jiang Che and others to the front.

"General, there are six of us." Song Junxing introduced to General Lee Swright one by one, focusing on Jiang Che and talking non-stop, "This is a frozen man who was revived last year. He is over 500 years old this year."

Their presence briefly distracted Linney.He couldn't help being a little annoyed.The precious meeting with his father was interrupted. Lin Ni stood by the window and sulked for a while, looking at Song Junxing dissatisfied.

He knew in his heart that Song Junxing was right to do so.Father needs to know who is traveling with him, and similarly, if Linney needs to serve as the captain of the Phoenix in the coming days and carry everyone to Earth, then he must give them confidence.

But not long ago, he was still a person who could not pass the Bigger personality test, and he only wanted to go to the vast universe to seek death.

Jiang Che said a few words to General Lee Swright, and after pondering for a moment, asked cautiously: "General, there is something I should report to you. Linney's brother Cicero is indeed gone, isn't he? "

Linney raised his head involuntarily.

The grizzled general nodded on the other side: "Yes. He's not here anymore."

"...But I have seen him." Jiang Che whispered, "Just when I was recovering, he was the one who woke me up from the cabin and pulled me up."

There was a brief silence in the room, and General Lee Swright's voice came from the communicator: "Mr. Jiang, this is impossible."

At this moment, Lin Ni remembered that Jiang Che had indeed accurately described Cicero's appearance to himself.

General Lee Swright diverted this topic: "You may be wrong. There are very, very many people who look alike in the world. Cicero has left us more than 30 years ago. Although I really want to meet again, we both You know, it's impossible."

Seeing General Lee Swright's hand shaking slightly, Jiang Che didn't insist on asking, although he was full of doubts.They left the room and turned the clock back to Linney and General Lee Swright.

General Lee Swright looked at Lin Ni and said after a while: "They all trust you very much."

Linney: "?"

"Just left without asking you or me anything about how to get to Earth." General Lee Swright said, "because I knew you wouldn't hide it. Linney, they trust you, which is the most important thing a captain can do. quality."

Lin Ni scratched his ears, a little embarrassed: "Everyone is a very simple and direct person, and we get along very well together."

General Leesright watched him for a moment and smiled.

Both father and son knew that this might be the last communication between them.

General Lee Swright continued without wasting time: "Song Junxing has already told you the 'future' that Cicero saw, right? Very good, you know. What Cicero saw is actually already Wrote a report and presented it to the Assembly of the Nations of Marseilles, but they didn't believe it. To be honest, I wouldn't believe it myself. But your route after leaving Faustus confirms exactly what Cicero saw everything."

"So this future is real ... but it should have changed."

"It's not supposed to be, but possible." General Lee Swright corrected Linney's statement, "So you must do your best to return to Earth and open up the communication channel between Earth and Marseille. Marseille is very lonely, it is in the universe No companions. If the Marauders do come out with enough ships to surround Marseilles, I don't think Marseilles will survive."

Linney understood what he meant.

Jiang Che went to the earth to go home, but he went to the earth to get help from the people on earth.

The discovery of the crashed ship on the Greia F gave them an important message: the surviving humans on Earth have the ability to travel to deep space and have the ability to reach Marseilles.

If a smooth intelligence channel can be established between Earth and Marseille, they can not only share information about the predators, but also provide necessary assistance to each other.

Once the route to the earth is opened up, as long as the very mature subspace transition technology is used, the communication between the earth and Marseille will be very convenient.

Therefore, the Phoenix is ​​very important--Linney and the six of them are also very important.They must connect the two planets and open up a new route in the vast universe.

"What about Route 18 at that time?" Linney said, "Father, Route 18 is the gateway to Earth. Do you understand it?"

"Route 18 has been abandoned. Even if it hadn't been abandoned, Faust's journey back to his hometown only reached the solar system, and there is still a distance from the earth." General Lee Swright pondered for a moment, and finally told him the truth, " The reason for the abandonment of route 18 is indeed affected by the disappearance of Faust, but more importantly, the Purifiers do not want us to return to Earth. They have put away all the information of route 18. If we want to go back to the 'Great Retreat', at present We can only rely on the Phoenix."

Lin Ni nodded. He found out the unfamiliar part of the weapon filing information, and was about to continue asking, when he suddenly heard a harsh siren from the communicator.

General Lee Swright looked up and looked at the people outside the camera: "Have you been found?"

That man was Bering.She calmly answered the general's question: "Yes, the surface port is trying to cut off this communication route."

"I'm sorry, but it won't be available after 1026," said the general.

Linney was taken aback: "Father! Wait! I haven't..."

"Linney, I'm proud of you." General Lee Swright said, looking at him.

A wrinkled smile appeared on the old man's old face.On the constantly flashing screen, he seemed to have a thousand words to tell Linney.

"I'm going to live on, a long time," whispered General Lee Swright. "Papa is waiting for you to come home."

The signal was cut, and the room fell silent.

Linney yelled hoarsely, and the tears finally flowed down.

When the signal was cut off, everyone on the ground in the Black Sea heard a strange sound from above.

It seemed that some kind of huge equipment was passing by in the sky, making a heavy buzzing sound.

The sound quickly disappeared, as if it had never appeared.

Pierre operated the communication equipment in the lifeboat, and the others followed Song Junxing to move out all the usable things from the underground ammunition depot.Although there are a lot of reserves, there are not many that can be used to fight against predators.

Pierre jumped out of the lifeboat at this time, and he succeeded: "The communication request we sent, the Marauder ship has received it!"

Song Junxing nodded at him.

"Song Junxing, what's that voice?" Jiang Che asked Song Junxing.

Song Junxing squinted his eyes and looked up at the sky without stopping.Gradually, his complexion became extremely ugly.After stuffing a cannonball in Jiang Che's arms, Song Junxing turned around and ran towards Building Zero.

He quickly ran up to building zero and knocked open the door of his room.

The screen was dark, but the moment Song Junxing rushed in, the communication indicator light turned on.

Song Junxing didn't bother to ask Lin Ni why he was crying, so he pushed him aside, and immediately sat in Lin Ni's seat.

The moment he sat down, the screen in front of him lit up.

A young man in the uniform of the Marseille fleet appeared on the screen.His tone was flat, without any ups and downs, even with a hint of anger.

"As of now, the Marseille Ground Port has detected a 46-minute video communication between the Black Sea Transit Station and an illegal communication frequency. This illegal frequency landed at the residence of General Lee Swright. Administrator Song Junxing, Please explain immediately."

Song Junxing quickly defended: "This is not an illegal frequency, I discovered it by accident. No one uses it, so I just use it for fun."

The other party didn't believe it at all: "Song Junxing, is it the first day we met? Why did the communication frequency that you accidentally discovered and played with randomly landed in the general's mansion!"

"Isn't General Lees Wright doing nothing recently?" Song Junxing said, "Then I can discover this frequency by accident, and the general can also discover it by accident. He is bored, so he just uses it for fun. Then we will contact It's up. To be honest, it's the first time I've spoken to him, and I could only see it on video before, but this time I saw a real person..."

The other party interrupted his nonsense: "Song Junxing, don't you want to tell the truth?"

Song Junxing: "These are the truth."

The other party raised his head, a little annoyed: "Do you want to die! Don't you know that the ground port of the Black Sea transfer station will be constantly monitored?"

Song Junxing showed an aggrieved expression: "I know, so I really didn't do anything bad."

Lin Ni sat in the corner, silently watching Song Junxing perform.They all knew that the surface port would be monitored, but 1026 could not be detected immediately. They gained a time difference of 46 minutes and obtained important information about the predator.That's enough.

The young man saw that Song Junxing was too thick-skinned, so he had no choice but to continue: "Now I will inform the administrator of the Black Sea about the punishment of Song Junxing."

Song Junxing: "So fast?"

Young man: "Listen to me carefully! Since 1026 is an unregistered illegal frequency, please Song Junxing immediately submit the content of the communication just now to the ground port, and upload it to the intelligence department of the ground port before the end of this communication, and you can avoid punishment .”

Song Junxing did not move.His eyes wandered and fell on Lin Ni's face.Lin Ni's eye circles were still red, and he stared at Song Junxing silently.

"Liar." Song Junxing said softly to the young man on the screen in front of him, "Exemption from punishment? Didn't the ground port just shut down the protective and early warning system over the Black Sea?"

The other party did not answer.

Linney also knew about this protection and early warning system.It is a system specially established to protect the Black Sea transfer station and consists of 36 satellites orbiting the Black Sea.Satellite groups are constantly sending out jamming radio waves to each other. This special radio wave wavelength has no effect on humans and communication channels, but to predators, these are extremely disgusting and disgusting sounds.

This protection and early warning system is the strongest shield in the Black Sea, and the secret orders are only in the hands of the Black Sea administrator and the ground port.

Song Junxing is now full of anger and worry.

Originally, he planned to wait until the predator's ship got as close as possible before turning off the protection and early warning system to lure the opponent to fall to the ground, but now the ground port has shut down the system without prior notice, and the entire Black Sea has been exposed to the predator.

"Because we expected that you would not hand over the content of the communication. So the following is the second order." The young man cleared his throat, "We now order the Black Sea administrator Song Junxing to leave the Black Sea within this day, return to the surface port immediately, and accept Marseille Fleet inquiries and investigations."

"...Threatening me?"

"Correct. This is a threat." The young man put down the document in his hand, "Song Junxing, the protection system has been shut down now, and there is currently a predator ship near the Black Sea. Without the protection and early warning system, the Black Sea is a piece of fat." , the predators are likely to speed up and enter the Black Sea. If you don’t want to die, then come back immediately.”

This day's dinner was full of worries.

Although Jiang Che successfully made Beggar Chicken, Kung Pao Chicken, Tomato Beef, and a comprehensive chicken breast salad that met the taste of Ovid and Linney under extremely simple conditions, Tang Mo even found two in Song Junxing's collection. I just soaked a pot of lemonade with a lemon that had begun to dry out, but everyone was very worried. No one said something like "there is still too little meat" during the eating process.

This made Jiang Che extremely uncomfortable.

"Is it really enough?" Jiang Che scooped up a bowl of egg drop soup for Ovid.

The chickens on Nini are very small, and the eggs they lay are also very small, not much different from quail eggs.For this pot of egg flower soup, Jiang Che cracked more than 40 eggs, and he had used up all of Song Junxing's stock.

It was getting late, they sorted all the weapons and placed them on the ground floor of Building Zero, planning to continue tomorrow.

"The ground port said that the predators may speed up." Song Junxing reminded, "We will be ready in the daytime tomorrow."

Ovid suddenly remembered something: "Pierre, have you turned off the communication of the lifeboat?"

"No..." Pierre quickly jumped up, "I'm going to close it now."

Ovid turned to look at Jiang Che again: "Have you thought about what to have for breakfast tomorrow?"

Jiang Che glanced at him: "No."

Stop talking.

Ovid was bored, scratched his head, and went to check the various weapons with Linney again.

Song Junxing asked Tang Mo to go upstairs to take a bath while he had time now.Tang Mo had also been busy all day today, and returned to his room yawning.

The half-covered window was blown open by the wind, and she felt a little cold, so she hurried to close the window.Before closing the window, she habitually looked up at the starry sky.

She didn't see Michelangelo I and II.

Tang Mo rubbed his eyes.These are two stars, it is impossible to disappear inexplicably.

Looking up again, she realized that the sky was pitch black, and the stars had almost disappeared.

Tang Mo's heart beat wildly.She finally recognized that what hovered in the distant starry sky and blocked her vision was a huge rock.

The Marauder's ship had arrived in the Black Sea not only when, but was slowly descending.
