"Don't mess around, let me ask you a few questions. Do you know if this Freedom Fortress is a stationary planetary fortress, or a mobile one?"

Su Mo asked calmly.

After hearing this, Lin Yaotian replied with a serious expression: "I came here once before, and it was not fully completed, but it seems to be fixed. And the location of such a strategic fortress is a strategic location. , it is impossible to move at will."

"However, such a big fortress cannot disappear without any reason. Even if it disappears normally, it will leave some traces. Maybe there is a deviation in which link. Otherwise, we will send personnel first to search the surrounding starry sky. Maybe There will be unexpected gains.”

Su Mo's expression changed for a while and finally said.

"it is good!"

After listening to Lin Yaotian and others, they nodded and replied, except for this method, they have no better choice now.

"But everyone should be careful. The starry sky here is very dangerous. If you go out to investigate, you will probably die. Be mentally prepared."

Su Mo reminded everyone in a deep voice.

"we know."

The crowd responded solemnly.

Then Su Mo interrupted the virtual image communication and stood up.

Seeing Su Mo get up, Sun Duoxiang hurriedly walked up and said, "Boss, do you want to investigate in person? Wouldn't it be too risky, I'll just let the people below go."

"No, some things still have to go in person, you can wait here with peace of mind."

After Su Mo finished explaining, he walked towards the hangar without looking back.

In the starry sky, mechas and star fighters separated from the Blue Whale and the Shadow.

Everyone glanced at each other and dispersed, flying towards the surrounding starry sky.

.....

Seven days later, Su Mo drove the pseudo-V-generation biological mecha, Youji, to hide behind a meteorite.

In front of it floats a planet-sized gray worm nest, all of which are densely packed with hollows, and countless flying insects surround the worm nest.

With this size of the nest, it's not surprising that a few V-shaped bugs pop up.

Su Mo suppressed his trepidation, and whispered to the fake owner Devourer: "What's the situation? This is not a fortress, it's a worm nest! You can scan such a large worm nest and make mistakes? Shouldn't it? What the **** is going on? What's the matter?"

"I didn't say there was a fort from the beginning to the end, I just told you that there are suspicious giant objects here."

The fake owner, the Devourer replied in a low voice.

"No, no, your state is not quite right, what's going on?"

Su Mo clearly sensed the problem. With the strength of the fake owner, the Devourer, even an ant can't escape its eyes. How could such a large worm's nest be wrong?

It's a pity that no matter how Su Mo asked, the fake owner, Devourer, didn't say anything.

"Forget it, leave first!"

Su Mo saw that the fake owner, the Devourer, didn't say anything and didn't continue to ask more questions, so he controlled the Nether Abnormal Mecha to transform into a streamer and escape, as fast as he wanted.

"Don't keep looking?"

The fake owner, the Devourer asked in a low voice.

"I'm not looking for it anymore, I've found all the places around here that I should be looking for. Go back and see if other people have anything to gain."

Su Mo sighed and replied.

......

After a long time, Su Mo returned to the Shadow's hangar.

Sun Duoxiang greeted him immediately and said excitedly, "Boss, you are finally back."

"Have the other investigators returned?"

"Everyone who can come back has come back, and you are the last to come back."

Sun Duoxiang quickly explained.

"Call everyone into the conference room and let's have a meeting."

Su Mo thought for a few seconds and said.

"okay!"

Sun Duoxiang responded quickly.

After a while, Lin Yaotian, Wang Ce, Qian Chengxue, Zhang Xun and the others all came to the conference room.

Everyone's faces were covered with clouds, and there was no smile.

Seeing this situation, Su Mo vaguely had a bad premonition in his heart.

He calmly asked, "How is your investigation over there? Have you found any traces of the Freedom Fortress?"

"No, we have searched all around here, and we have lost a lot of people for this."

Xiao Qijin frowned and said.

Zhang Xun also touched his forehead and said helplessly, "The situation here is the same for me. I sacrificed a lot of people, but it also didn't gain anything. What about you, Mr. Su Mo?"

"No gain either."

Su Mo replied with an increasingly heavy heart.

Wang Ce stood up at this time, sighed, and said to everyone, "This is very bad news of mine."

Su Mo and the others all focused on Wang Ce.

"what news?"

"Wang Kui personally took people and ventured to the nearest logistics supply space station in the Yanas Kingdom, Kernge, and took a look, but the Kernge space station was also gone."

Wang Ce said with a complicated expression.

Hearing Wang Ce's news, everyone's faces suddenly turned a little unsightly.

The disappearance of the Free Fortress itself made them feel very strange. Now even the space station of the allies has disappeared. Is it a coincidence? No one believes it.

At this time, Lin Yaotian also spoke, and he said to everyone: "Not only is the space station of our allies missing, I went to the area where the Gomotos Empire - Fang fortress is located to take a look, that fortress is also gone."

Hearing Lin Yaotian's words, everyone present took a deep breath and felt chills on their backs.

"This....."

Su Mo was a little horrified when he heard these two news, what happened here?

If it was just that the fortress of freedom had disappeared, it could be explained with excuses such as coincidences.

Now it is an Allied country, and the rear bases of the Imperial Army have all disappeared.

For a while in the conference room, everyone looked at each other without saying a word.

After a long time, Ye Quan said hesitantly: "I feel very wrong. The troops stationed there must be wiped out."

Hearing Ye Quan's words, everyone present slammed, if the whole army was wiped out, it would be a big deal.

"Judging from the current situation, this possibility cannot be ruled out. We may really have to consider the situation where the entire army of the logistics support base is destroyed."

Qianchengxue calmly analyzed.

"Then what do we do? Isn't it a waste of time?"

Xiao Qijin said with a headache.

"What else can we do? If the fortresses and troops that we connected with are destroyed, we can only take a trip in vain and return to the Federation to report the latest situation here."

Wang Ce put forward his own ideas, and to put it bluntly, he began to retreat.

slap~

At this moment, Lin Yaotian clapped his hands on the conference table, making a crisp sound, and then he stood up.

His sharp eyes swept over everyone present, and said in an unquestionable tone: "No! It is absolutely impossible to return!"

"It's not Lin Yaotian, and we don't want to return, but you can see the situation now. The Liberty Fortress, the base of the allies, and the rear supply base of the Imperial Army have all disappeared. We have also searched the surrounding area and damaged it for this reason. You should know how many people there are. Basically, you can tell that the logistics force here has been destroyed, what can you do if you don't go back?"

Wang Ce said clearly.

"When the logistics force is destroyed, we will directly send the supplies to the Watcher base on Ceres. Is it possible that the frontline troops can also disappear?"

Lin Yaotian said firmly.

Everyone present turned green when they heard Lin Yaotian say that he was going to enter Ceres.

"Yaotian, you're crazy, sent to the Watcher Base? Don't you know how terrifying Ceres is? If we go up, there are no returns!"

Wang Ce replied in shock.

"I'm against it too, it's too risky."

Xiao Qijin also made a statement.

Ye Quan and Zhang Xun also persuaded them, "Yaotian, this is unrealistic. We don't know what's going on with Ceres at all. And no one has responded yet. Isn't this going to die?"

Su Mo was extremely surprised when he saw that four of the five dragon heads strongly opposed it. He asked the fake Devourer in his mind.

"Is this Ceres so terrifying?"

"It's more terrifying than you think. Ceres is one of the four ring moons of the negative star. It is affected by the negative star all the year round. The internal environment is extremely harsh, natural disasters are constant, and countless monsters are inhabited. Basically. Going up is a lifeless death. Of course, behind the high risks, it also represents high interests. There are countless expensive resources on Ceres, including nuclear gold, dark matter, antimatter, eternal gold, etc. "

"Can't even you ensure our safety?"

"No way, I'll tell you the truth. We are only in the outer area, and my abilities have already begun to be suppressed. The closer I get to the negative star, the more my abilities are suppressed. When you searched for the Freedom Fortress before, I capacity is in question.”

The fake owner Devourer explained in a low voice.

Su Mo took a deep breath and asked a little reluctantly.

"Is it dangerous to take these two Tier 5 ships in my hands?"

"For Ceres, your two Tier 5 ships can only say that the survival rate is slightly higher. If you really want to be a little bit more willful in front of Ceres, you have to have a Star Destroyer. No, the ordinary Star Destroyer is not enough. It has to be a Legendary-class Star Destroyer to be able to say it is relatively safe."

The fake owner, the Devourer, pointed it out directly.

"Isn't it? That's a bit of an exaggeration."

"Originally this is a fact. In fact, when you step on Ceres, it means half of your feet are on Negative Star. There is no difference."

"What if the City of Star Rings comes over?"

Su Mo asked reluctantly.

The forger, Devourer, was silent for a few seconds, and then replied: "There is a chance that the city of Star Ring will sink here."

Hearing this, Su Mo almost couldn't help but burst out.

"Isn't it? There is a chance that the behemoth will sink here?"

"Yes, otherwise why do you think Star Ring City is so far away from Negative God Star, the big reason is jealousy and fear."

The fake owner, the Devourer simply replied.

At this moment, the fierce quarrel interrupted the conversation between Su Mo and the fake owner, the Devourer, Lin Yaotian said very strongly.

"The troops on Ceres plus the troops on Freedom Fortress are more than 100 million. Those are the core trump cards of the Federation. If something happens to them, the Federation will be completely destroyed. The supplies themselves should have been shipped long ago, and we have already come. It's very late. Now that I'm here, how can I just give up? We will deliver the supplies in one second every night. The compatriots in the Watcher Base will suffer more hunger and more pain. What? To put it in a bad way, why do they stay in such a terrifying front line, not for us in the rear, they are fighting for us. "

"Hey, we all know what you said, but it is really unrealistic to rely on us alone. We should return to the signal coverage area of ​​Star Ring City as soon as possible and report to the Federation."

Wang Ce persuaded bitterly.

"If you are afraid of bad luck, we will transport it ourselves. Even if this batch of supplies has to sink, it will sink on Ceres."

Lin Yaotian didn't mean to back down at all, his stance was very firm.

The four of Wang Ce couldn't help falling into silence, no one said a word, they were really scared.

Lin Yaotian became more and more angry when he saw that they didn't say a word.

Just when the conference hall was dead silent, Su Mo's voice broke the silence, and he said loudly: "I unconditionally agree to log in to Ceres and send supplies to the Watcher Base. I know this behavior is very dangerous and stupid, but there is always someone In doing so, we can't just let the front-line troops carry the burden for us, and we will give everything back to them."

"well said!"

When Lin Yaotian heard Su Mo's words, he couldn't help turning his head to look at him, his indifferent eyes showing admiration.

In fact, Su Mo didn't need to go into this muddy water at all.

When Wang Ce and the others heard Su Mo's words, their expressions became more and more ugly.

At this time, Su Mo said: "Of course, after all, this behavior is too dangerous, so I only represent my own point of view, and I will not force you. Mr. Wang Ce, you can choose freely, if you want to return, there is no problem. "

Wang Ce and the others' old faces kept twitching, but they wanted to return home.

The problem is that in the current situation, without the Blue Whale and the Shadow, their ships want to return safely, and the probability is extremely low.

Of course, they can also choose to wait in place.

Waiting for Su Mo and the others to return from Ceres, but there are so many monsters in this ghost place, plus it is full of weirdness, the fortress of freedom has disappeared, how dare they stop.

And one more thing, in case Lin Yaotian and Su Mo really succeeded in transporting the supplies to the front line, then they would be cowardly.

If this matter is passed back to the Federation, how can they still be in the Federation in the future?

For a time, Wang Ce and the others were caught in a dilemma.

Su Mo and Lin Yaotian didn't mean to urge them to make a decision. After all, a life-and-death matter like yours needs to be considered clearly.

Time passed little by little.

In the end, Wang Ce sighed and said wearily: "Forget it, forget it, you are right, as a member of the Federation, how can you only consider your own safety, I will spare this old bone and walk with you for a while. Suffer!"

When Zhang Xun heard Wang Ce let go, he could only bite the bullet and reply.

"Forget it, you will die if you die, there is nothing to be afraid of!"

Ye Quan and Xiao Qijin looked at each other with a wry smile, and they shook their heads helplessly and replied.

"Let's fight."

Seeing that everyone had reached an agreement, Su Mo said, "Okay, now that we have reached an agreement, let's prepare and head to Ceres immediately."

"Um."

Wang Ce and the others responded.

.....

Soon after, the Shadow flew towards Ceres, followed by the blue whale.

Shadow Command Room.

Lin Yaotian, Wang Ce and the others are all here, which is relatively safe compared to the Blue Whale. At the same time, if we are together, we should discuss anything immediately.

Sun Duoxiang looked at the scanning radar and reported the report in astonishment.

"Boss, is this Shadow's radar broken? Why is the scanning range getting smaller and smaller? There is also a problem with the positioning device. How can we navigate this way?"

Su Mo also had a headache when he heard Sun Duoxiang's question. Although it was expected, it had to be resolved.

Just when Su Mo had a headache, Lin Yaotian replied in a deep voice, "This is a normal phenomenon. From now on, you can ignore the radar scanning system."

"Isn't that blind?"

Sun Duoxiang replied speechlessly.

"You can use optical imaging equipment, and the further you go, the radar scanning system is not as good as the eye."

Lin Yaotian explained calmly.

"It's okay to turn it off. The problem is that we need to locate the location of Ceres and the coordinates of the Watcher's base. We can't just guess blindly, right?"

When Su Mo heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he said with a headache.

"You don't have to worry about this, there are still people out of the machine, Yu Xin!"

Lin Yaotian shouted in a deep voice.

Waiting for Yu Xin to come up.

"Father!"

"You position."

Lin Yaotian said calmly.

Lin Yuxin nodded, then said to Sun Duoxiang, "Please help me unfold the optical viewing device on the observation deck."

"Huh? Isn't that thing for enjoying the beauty of space?"

Sun Duoxiang was stunned.

"OK."

Lin Yuxin replied with certainty.

After Sun Duoxiang finished listening, he turned on the corresponding device without saying anything.

A gap opened in the floor of the observation deck, and then a sophisticated telescope-like device rose up.

Lin Yuxin walked up, she began to observe, and she gave feedback very professionally.

"Slow down sailing speed, bow adjustment +0.3..."

Su Mo was very curious to discuss with the fake owner Devourer: "Is this okay?"

"It's feasible. Never underestimate the role of manpower. It can still have miraculous effects at critical moments. The method they are using now is to determine their position when the positioning equipment is not fully timed, and then correspond to the watchman base. The azimuth coordinates, and then rely on observation and intuition to guide the ship like a blind man walking a blind path. If there is no problem, it should be able to reach the vicinity of the designated coordinate area, this is your human wisdom. "

The fake owner Devourer said in a low voice.

"It's rare to see you praise me."

Su Mo communicated with the fake owner Devourer with great interest.

"I'm not complimenting, I'm just telling the truth. Therefore, as a species, you have no other advantages except this. When Ceres Xingwu's ability will be greatly suppressed, no, it is all electronic equipment, you can The only one you can rely on is yourself, seek more happiness from yourself.”

"Cough, don't worry, I will be careful of those monsters."

"It's not just the monsters and the imperial army that you have to be careful about. When you arrive at Ceres, you will have the opportunity to see other alien civilizations with your own eyes."

"Cough, it's still gone, I'm just delivering something."

"Jie Jie, it's not a bad thing to meet you, and if you are interested, you can catch some aliens and use them for mating and reproduction. In order to obtain stronger genetic sequences, you may be able to give birth to more excellent new ones. race."

The fake owner, the Devourer, suggested with great interest.

After Su Mo heard this, her expression became very exciting.

"Cough, don't make such a joke, okay?"

"I'm not interested in making such a joke with you. Compared with other races, your genes are simply too rubbish. You are vulnerable to death. You must know other civilized races, they don't even need to rely on any armored equipment, they can Survive freely in space. You are free from mechanical armor and life support systems, and it will not take long for you to burp. There are other civilizations that have a life limit of thousands of years, tens of thousands of years, and can even sleep for hundreds of years without eating or drinking. Not to mention that some individuals have powers that surpass ordinary people, and your genes are not garbage in comparison?"

The fake owner Devourer directly retorted.

After Su Mo heard it, he was powerless to refute it. If it doesn't matter whether it's appearance or form, what the forgery owner, Devourer, said is quite reasonable.

It seems that their genes are really not protruding, and they are vulnerable to death.

However, he disagreed at one point, so he responded.

"Cough cough, forget it. I think genes are almost no big deal. There's no need to create an anomaly."

"what ever."

The fake owner Devourer was too lazy to argue with Su Mo.

Su Mo came back to his senses and continued to look at the starry sky in the distance.

Now everyone in the command room is very nervous. Since the radar and other equipment have almost failed, they can only observe the flight in a straight line with their eyes.

If you hit a large monster, the optical equipment can catch it, so you can also avoid it properly.

If you encounter a monster that can disguise, or is small and powerful, you can only fight hard.

It's okay to beat, but if you can't beat it, you're ready to die.

Time passed little by little.

With the sailing of the ship, an incomparably spectacular scene greeted everyone's eyes.

In the distant starry sky, a crimson planet that is hundreds of millions of times the size of a star and is too large to measure is reflected in everyone's eyes. On the entire surface of the planet, strips of colored ribbons flowed, densely covered with countless black spots, as well as swirls one by one, and the Shadow and Blue Whale were like dust in front of it.

Lin Yuxin immediately opened his mouth to report: "We are about to arrive at the outer space area of ​​Ceres, first suspend our navigation, and don't get too close, otherwise we will be pulled in by its terrifying gravity."

"Wait, the gravity of this Ceres is so terrifying, are you sure we can come out after we go in?"

Sun Duoxiang asked in confusion.

"The 5th-level ships can still break through the gravity of Ceres with all their strength, and barely rush out. But below 5th-level ships will not work. Of course, there are exceptions. Ships equipped with special anti-gravity devices can rush out."

Lin Yaotian said in a deep voice.

Sun Duoxiang and the others breathed a sigh of relief after listening.

"But now it's not a matter of discussion, but to find a way to get in. Have you seen the vision on the surface of Ceres' atmosphere? Even a Tier 5 ship cannot touch it, otherwise the ship will be destroyed in all likelihood. ."

Lin Yaotian frowned and said.

"Then it's better to avoid it."

Sun Duoxiang said in a heart-wrenching manner.

"But some bad weather surfaces show that when your ship enters, it will also collide. A normal ship needs to prepare for a long time to enter Ceres. The Watcher Base has special observers and equipment. Monitor overhead climate change to find the best time to log in to guide.”

Lin Yuxin explained to Sun Duoxiang patiently.

"Can you contact the Watcher Base then?"

Su Mo asked thoughtfully.

"No, there is only a set of special communication equipment in the free radical land, which can communicate with the watchman base."

Lin Yaotian directly pierced Su Mo's fantasy.

"That's nothing to say, we don't have any special observers, just observe the surface a little, and the situation will go down, take a gamble!"

Su Mo put forward his own suggestion very simply.

"Ah? Boss, will this bet be too big?"

Sun Duoxiang asked with a dry throat.

"Do you think we have a better choice? Be decisive if you don't have a choice."

Su Mo also gave up.

"Yes, timid, it will only make things worse."

Lin Yaotian also agrees very much.

ps: Sorry, I have to do nucleic acid, and I will add more tomorrow (*^▽^*), please forgive me!

ps: There is a little problem with the system, I will come back in a while and make up some more into this chapter.
