Him and their stars

Chapter 762 The Ghost Murder in the Unknown Starry Sky

Afterwards, Yi Na explained to Yu Lian the so-called URW46 ghost hunting incident and the clues behind it.

The beginning of the incident came from the strange and terrifying incidents in this star field, such as the unmanned ghost ship floating in the universe, the strange evil shadow in the desert of the planet, the disappearance of residents in the space station and so on.

Yang Xiyi had been investigating the truth that caused the Xinyumen Incident, so he secretly issued monitoring orders to his own guard fleet, deep space exploration ships, and all observation stations.Therefore, in August last year, they successfully intercepted a call for help from the great pirate "Red Wing General" Hromel.

This is also a famous big pirate who can be ranked in the top [-] pirate bounties, a Kimeyan, born as an ace pilot of the Imperial Army, and even became a Brigadier General of the Imperial Army all the way.

Such a person who became a general by virtue of his military exploits, even if he was of an inhuman race, would definitely be able to obtain the status of a lifelong nobleman after retiring from the army, and he would also be able to directly send his immediate family members into the civil class.A soldier who was born in an ordinary family of a different race had a successful career in the Imperial Army.

However, maybe this is a liberal who longs for poetry and distant places, but launched a rebellion during a new continent exploration operation led by himself, took six ships and all the exploration materials with his subordinates, and fled.

…Speaking of this, smart people will probably know why the big pirates, the black (meow) road chiefs, and some interstellar chaebol companies always have some information about the new continent’s waterways that the officials don’t know.

After all, this is a new continent, there is no real-time source wave communication, and all newly explored star maps have to be sent back to the headquarters by the most traditional way of running errands, which naturally gives some people a chance to play their hands.Hrommel is of course one of them, but he played it relatively extreme.

This great pirate who has become a brigadier general of the Imperial Army may be the most professional rookie in the industry in the past century.He nicknamed himself "Blood Wing General". With the loyal subordinates he pulled out from the imperial army as the backbone, he owned nearly forty ships of all sizes in just seven or eight years, with two or three troops. million people.

Some people say that the star map that Herrmel snatched back then was an ancient Enlightenment space station that was found by using the official power of the empire.He used this space station as a base, absorbing refugees, gathering the galaxy, and gathered an army of this size just now.

He himself should be very charismatic as a leader. Although he is not a psyker, there are sixteen known psykers under his command, the sixteen-winged general known as the Blood Wing General.

In short, according to this development trend, it is only a matter of time before Herrmel grows into the kind of great pirate king who can chat and laugh at the same card table with the nobles of the imperial palace and the rich merchants of the alliance.

If he hadn't sent a so-called help alert in the first half of last year.

The alarm was intercepted by the scientific exploration ship Zhang Heng, which was exploring near the URW46 star field, and this ship was not directly affiliated to the Commonwealth government or any company, but was supported by the Outer Ring Fleet and the Community Guard.Even the captain and chief scientific officer are the descendants of Admiral Ajitha Mallowan in the "archaeological circle".

After Zhang Heng intercepted the information, it did not report to Earth, but first reported it to the Outer Ring Fleet Command.As a result, Yang Xiyi, who was still serving as the deputy chief of staff of the fleet and director of the intelligence department at the time, naturally knew about it, and so did the big guys in the Thirteenth Fleet.

The amount of information on this alert is still very rich.Unknown galaxy, background board with undiscovered green planet, never seen space fortress.In addition, judging from the screen, the time when Zhang Heng intercepted the call for help was only three to five minutes away from the time when the other party sent it.Doesn't this mean that the "Blood Wing General" may have a star-level source plasma wave communicator in his hands—or some other super-beam communication method.

In the New World, where communication can only rely on "beacon towers" and running errands, there is no need to go into details about the strategic advantages of having instant messaging means?

After that, there were those insect-shaped alien species that the Community Security Command and the Outer Ring Fleet had been looking for for more than a year.

At that time, the Imperial Lion's Den Fortress had not yet fallen, and the term "worm swarm" had not yet formed a consensus in the entire universe.

No matter which item's expected income, it is enough for everyone to make a trip.Wansha's treasure map is nothing compared to being able to get rewards from Hromel.

After the negotiations between the Outer Rim Fleet and the Thirteenth Fleet were completed, the earth received the news "slightly delayed".However, apart from Marshal Paris himself at the headquarters of the military order and Major General Mallowan of the Community Guard, the big figures on Earth did not attract attention.In other words, it would be a good thing if those dukes didn't pay attention to it.

All in all, with the acquiescence of Marshal Paris, the Outer Ring Fleet dispatched scientific research ships, and the Thirteenth Fleet dispatched escort ships.Thus began the seven-month long-term exploration of the entire URW46 galaxy.

It is not only for treasure hunting, but also to explore the clues of the swarm.Of course, it would be great if we could save Hromer himself and ask him what happened.

Of course, it is not a one-time exploration, but multiple explorations in one month.Although this is out of safety considerations, it also takes into account the upper limit of the spiritual power of the two underage girls who are the main force in the exploration of mysticism.

In the first three explorations, everyone has cleared more than half of the channel of the unknown URW star field.And this last exploration is the harvest period of the results.

"Looking at you, you should have found the galaxy where Herrmel is located from here, and you have gained a lot!" Yu Lian looked at the friends of the exploration team.

After this period of fighting and exploring, these young comrades-in-arms have grown a lot, knowing that professionally trained officers cannot laugh casually.However, Yu Lian could still feel the excitement of the big guy, as if he had just won the lottery prize.

If he just dug a big tomb and got two billion worth of loot, he probably wouldn't be so happy.

"It's still very smooth." Yi Na nodded: "It's even smoother than when we dug the grave."

"It's not grave digging, it's archaeology." Gan Jiang said.

"Although we took away the valuables, we still took protective measures," Mo Xie said.

"If it takes another one or two hundred years, when the URX46 star field becomes a serious administrative star area unit, with a large population, safe waterways and prosperous trade, it will be converted into a museum immediately." The general said.

"Yes, although we are members of the Swordman faction, we respect and protect the civilization of the ancient gods and men." Mo Xie nodded.

"So you're going to have trouble with this swordsman faction, right?" Gan Jiang glared at his sister.

"It's not hard to get through. People are clearly complacent."

Yu Lian also felt that the difference between "archaeology" and "tomb robbery" is actually very big. Those who force them to think that they are the same thing must be fools. If they have time, they still need to get to the bottom of it, but not now. When considering this issue.

He asked: "Then, what about Bloodwing General Heromel himself?"

"There are no more Blood Wing Generals," Miss Gan Jiang said.

"Well, when we arrived, we saw his dehydrated body. Even the blood was gone, so of course there would be no general." Moye shrugged his graceful nose, obviously a little physically uncomfortable with the situation at that time.

Yu Lian felt that this was unreasonable.If that guy's secret base was really attacked by the swarm, theoretically there should be nothing left.

"He locked himself in a cabin in the deepest part of the space station, and locked the door on the sixth floor. When we arrived, we caught up with the bug monsters who were still attacking the door, and they had already attacked the last two floors. .” Meng Jiao said.

"What kind of bug?" Yu Lian asked.

"You saw it last time." While talking, Yi Na operated on her communication terminal and played a one-minute short video on the projection in the meeting room.

In the spacious alleyway of the space station, dozens of springtails and hydralisks are attacking the gate at the end of the passageway with their sharp claws and teeth and highly corrosive acid.

Zergling claws are known to pierce armor, and Hydralisk acid can corrode even battleship-class armor.If it was a normal armored door, it might have been breached by this time.However, these bugs dug and sprayed, but at least [-]% of their attacks were reduced and fused by the halo flowing on the armored door.

This is a kind of energy shield, and it also vaguely has a mystical effect that everyone can't understand.

Now, even the two great powers are not rich enough to deal with mysticism on the armor plate of the space station.Looking at the gorgeous interior decoration in the aisle, it can only show that this fortress is indeed the legacy of an enlightened person.

"It seems that Herrmel really got a space city of the enlightened, but I don't know how it compares with the free city in the legendary abyss nebula?" Eleanor said.

It should still be far away.The Free City in the Abyss Nebula is indeed an ancient relic, but its main body is a huge space city comparable in size to the Fortress of the Sky Fortress.The current "controllers" are still far from understanding the functions of this space city under their banner, but they have already turned it into the only "peaceful city" in the abyss nebula, and it can accommodate [-] to [-] million residents .

You know, there is an abyssal nebula where space behemoths haunt, underworld giants run rampant, and cosmic cultists from all walks of life make trouble!

If Herrmel had really mastered such a huge inheritance, he would either have stood up a long time ago, or would have died countless times.

No, Yi Na replied: "It's very small, less than one-tenth the size of the new Lushun Xinggang."

That's just the size of a small to medium space station.Generally speaking, this is used for trade supply stations or semi-permanent scientific research stations on feeder routes.

Even if it is the space relic of the Enlightened One, if it is only a small site, it must lack sufficient weapons.What's more, Herromell and his subordinates may not have unlocked the weapon function on the space station yet.

All in all, when everyone landed, the space station was basically occupied by all kinds of swarm monsters.Even the final escape hatch was about to be breached.However, because the members of the "Scientific Research Fleet" had already made preparations, the four psykers were also equipped with four self-produced Type [-] emblem machines sent by Major General Marlowin, and then the The group's annihilation battle was not a surprise.

"They are indeed the most incomprehensible creatures I have ever seen." Meng Jiao said: "Those things like armored velociraptors can even tear apart the armor of hussar mechs. The attacking team I brought has Two comrades-in-arms had their hands cut off. The acid sprayed by those basilisks actually flew three to four hundred meters away. Although it was still unable to break the shield of the heraldry machine, it actually even hit the shield car we used to attack. The front side can be corroded."

He paused for a moment, and said with some lingering fear: "What's more, those things are clearly the appearance of living things, but they don't seem to have any sense of fear."

Although Brother Mengjiao seemed to be frightened, in fact, he was the one who showed the toughest behavior when clearing the swarm of insects.The heir of the Hanhai Sword, holding a two-meter-long Alchemy Zhanmajian that was obtained from Mr. Grant, looked like a door panel, and took the lead wearing a coat of arms.Behind him was Yi Na's cover and the buffs given to him by Gan Jiang and Mo Xie. Everywhere he went, he was bruised and knocked to death. That was a literal invincible rider.

It was because of his efforts that it took only five or six minutes for everyone to kill the swarm that was attacking the last gate and rescue General Bloodwing.

However, it was his dead body.

The great pirate was miserable.He only knew that his hiding place was solid, but perhaps because of the emergency, he didn't bring enough water and supplies.In addition, although he has been entrenched in this relic space station of the Enlightened One for a long time, he has not yet figured out the function of the interior, and of course he does not know that it is used as a life support device in the cabin.

"We checked. He was actually extremely weak due to malnutrition, and died of depressurization in the cabin," Mo Xie said.

"The life support device in the cabin failed, and the air temperature and air pressure were out of control. However, before he died of the extreme cold, the miracles and blood vessels in his body burst due to the loss of pressure, and the blood floated out of his body."

How miserable!A dignified pirate king who was ranked in the top ten on the reward list died in such a painful and embarrassing way.One can imagine how desperate he was before he died.

Meng Jiao said: "In addition, we also found more than [-] corpses on the space station, all members of the Blood Wing Pirates. These bandits were wiped out almost without any resistance. Such tyrannical and terrifying, but not yet It's hard for me to imagine a creature without the slightest sense of fear."

"Isn't this normal? Hornets and ants don't feel any fear," Mo Xie said.

"But, have you ever seen such big wasps and ants?" Gan Jiang said.

"Space plankton and amoebas are much larger than those swarms."

"Have you ever seen planktonic insects and amoebas that rely on their teeth and claws?" Gan Jiang just turned back, and immediately felt that something was wrong: "No, those things are actually more vigilant than herbivores when they should be afraid Well. At least I haven’t met a herbivore that can fight.”

Mo Xie nodded: "So, little uncle, we basically believe that this alien species should be a swarm-like creature."

Yu Lian thought that I already knew.And I've had a good time talking and laughing with their masters.

Of course, in order not to make my teacher's niece and friends sad, Yu Lian still showed a thoughtful expression and nodded: "Then what?"

"They may have the ability to navigate in the universe." Ina paused for a moment, then said in a more emphatic voice: "Yes, they can sail independently and do not need to be transported by a starship."

Yu Lian raised his eyebrows slightly, while the other comrades looked at each other with different expressions.Although it is a bit unbelievable, the universe is so big that it is not surprising that any strange things happen.In comparison, everyone is more willing to consider from the military aspect. This kind of alien monster similar to a bee swarm really has the ability to navigate independently, and what impact it will have on national defense security.
