Chapter 1267 The Fish That Slipped Through the Net (Second Update, Please Give Me a Monthly Ticket)
Now, in the absence of a wormhole, theoretically, if there is no means of transportation that can jump through space, it will take at least fifteen years to get from the Southern Cross star field to the Shaofu star field.

And fifteen years is also assuming that the Zerg have means of transportation that can reach the speed of light.

But in fact, the Zerg does not have such high-speed transportation.

Xia Chujian knew that the Principality of the Southern Cross, the Kingdom of Dongtianyuan, and the large wormhole between the Western Federation and the Beichen Empire had been destroyed by Huo Yushen and his men as soon as they learned that these countries had fallen.

So how did those Zerg spaceships from the Southern Cross fly to the star field near Shaofu Star in such a short time?
This was the question Xia Chujian had the moment he learned that an asteroid near Shaofu Star had been attacked by Zerg.

She asked Qilu: "Qilu, how do you think those Zerg spacecraft flew over from the Southern Cross?"

"From Shaofu Star to Southern Cross Star, the distance is fifteen light years."

"Without a large wormhole, how could they have raided the Shaofu Star asteroid belt from the Southern Cross in such a short time?"

Qi Lu said: "Is there any other channel? Didn't Huo Shuai go from Beichen Star to Southern Cross Star?"

"If there's no shortcut, he's probably still on the way, right?"

The distance of fifteen light years is the length that light takes fifteen years to travel at the speed of light. Although it is a unit of length, it can also represent time.

The Southern Cross is fifteen light years away from Shaofu Star. It can also be said that the Southern Cross seen in the star field of Shaofu Star now is actually what it looked like fifteen years ago...

But Xia Chujian knew that those Zerg spaceships and Zerg soldiers had not been on the road for fifteen years.

Besides, the Zerg army came from another world only in the last six months.

How can fifteen years be that long?
What's more, no matter which country the spacecraft or aircraft is from, none of them can reach a speed as fast as the speed of light!

So, it all comes down to one question: how did they get here?!

Xia Chujian thought thoughtfully: "Could it be that there are wormholes here that we don't know about?"

She thought about it and there was only one possibility, that is, these Zerg spaceships and aircraft were not flying here at their own speed.

They must have taken a shortcut.

In space, the only shortcut between two planets that are light years apart is a wormhole.

But it is clear that the large wormhole between the Beichen Empire and the Southern Cross Principality has been destroyed!
Are there any fish that have slipped through the net?

Xia Chujian discussed this possibility with Qilu.

Qi Lu said: "There should be no wormholes that slip through the net."

"If there is, wouldn't it be better for the Zerg army to attack directly through these 'wormholes'?"

"Why do we have to send small groups of Zerg soldiers and spacecraft to test again and again?"

Xia Chujian nodded: "That makes sense, then how did they get here?"

Qi Lu said, "The only way is to go and see it in person."

Xia Chujian said, "Have you found the way to the south?"

Qi Lu said: "The routes that the Zerg interstellar spacecraft took the last few times seemed to be fixed. I just worked backwards."

Xia Chujian said, "Okay, let's follow the route they came from and go take a look."

Qilu displayed the route on the virtual display screen before Xia Chu met.

"Master, look, this is the straight-line distance between Shaofu Star and Southern Cross Star."

Of course, the star map on the virtual display screen has the distance reduced billions of times, so it is just a rough idea.

As soon as Xia Chujian saw on the star map, there were two shining planets, one in the south and one in the north. They were the Southern Cross and Shaofu.

The starry sky of the Southern Cross does look like a cross.

The starlight of Shaofu Star is bright but with a hint of shadow.

There is an imaginary line connecting the two planets.

Qi Lu said: "The route we are going to take is near this virtual line."

“They don’t overlap.”

Xia Chujian nodded: "I know, it's definitely not a straight-line distance."

After the route was determined, the rest of the journey was boring and tedious.

Xia Chujian couldn't stand it anymore, so he increased the speed of the Xuannv Qingyao Titanium Mech.

Six hours later, Qi Lu's voice suddenly rang out.

"Master! There seems to be movement ahead!"

Xia Chujian immediately became alert.

She immediately switched from mecha form to human form, which made it more convenient for her to fight.

Previously, she switched the mecha into a micro-aircraft that could only accommodate one person and was suitable for traveling in space.

Of course it’s different now.

Xia Chujian asked nervously: "Where is it? Where is it? Is there another Zerg spaceship?!"

Xia Chujian was so excited that he almost rubbed his hands.

Qi Lu said: "...I don't know, it's too far away, and I can't tell where the spacecraft is from."

Xia Chujian said: "This direction is very close to the Southern Cross star region."

"As for the Southern Cross, besides the Zerg who can send out interstellar spacecraft, who else can do this?"

"Can't the defenders on the Southern Cross only fight guerrilla warfare with the Zerg army on the planet?" In Xia Chujian's opinion, the only ones who can fly on this route at this time are himself and the Zerg army...

Qi Lu's childish voice was a little hesitant, but he still said: "Master, Qi Lu has checked several times, and the electromagnetic frequency of the spacecraft over there seems to be a spacecraft from the Beichen Empire."

"It's not a ship from the Simanelli Federation, nor a ship from the Southern Cross, nor a ship from the Toumahara Divine Kingdom."

Xia Chujian frowned: "You mean, there is an interstellar spaceship moving ahead..."

"But according to the electromagnetic frequency you detected, the spacecraft does not belong to the former Simaneli Federation, the former Dongtianyuan Kingdom, or the former Southern Cross Principality? Instead, it belongs to... our Beichen Empire?"

"No way... Could it be that the Beichen Empire is secretly preparing for a counterattack?"

"But our Fifth Interstellar Fleet is the military stationed at the front line. Why haven't we received any news at all?"

Xia Chujian said a lot of things in one breath, and Qi Lu only said after she finished listening, "Master, why don't you go and see it yourself?"

Xia Chujian had no choice but to hide his body and fly quickly towards the place in front where the interstellar spaceship was moving.

Flying at full speed, Xia Chujian finally arrived at a place half an hour later.

As soon as they got close, Qi Lu said, "There's a wormhole here!"

The wormholes in the universe and the gravitational waves they spread are of course completely different from those of other celestial bodies and are very easy to identify.

Of course, this identification needs to be within a certain range.

It's impossible to recognize it from a distance.

However, the space in the universe is vast and it is impossible to locate a wormhole whose location is unknown.

Unless there are clear coordinates, or, by accident, you arrive at the star field near the wormhole.

When Xia Chujian saw this, it was by chance, or it could be said that it was reasonable that he followed the flight route of the previous Zerg interstellar spacecraft and arrived near this wormhole.

Xia Chujian hid his body and quickly approached the interstellar spaceship in front.

It was indeed an interstellar spaceship from the Beichen Empire.

Xia Chujian could still see the logo on it, it seemed to be the starship of their Fifth Star Fleet!

She suddenly became excited.

Could it be that the top brass of the Fifth Interstellar Fleet had already been preparing for an active attack? !
When she got closer, she found that the starship was preparing to enter the wormhole...

Xia Chujian was curious: "Qilu, where does this wormhole lead to?"

Qilu said, "I don't know. Master, do you want to get closer to that starship and see where it is going?"

Xia Chujian immediately said, "Of course I'll go!"

She quickly flew to the top of the starship and used her mechanical fingers to reach the network fiber optic cable on the top of the ship.

Qi Lu followed the optical fiber and quickly made a circle inside the interstellar spacecraft.

Not long after, Qi Lu's childish voice sounded in Xia Chujian's fully enclosed helmet, with a hint of excitement.

"Master! This starship was sent by the Fifth Star Fleet to the Southern Cross to deliver supplies to the resistance forces there!"

"The spacecraft is loaded with millions of conventional mechas! Hundreds of billions of conventional weapons and bullets, as well as various conventional weapons and space attack weapons!"

"Also, 60 billion low-level nutrient solutions, 10 billion intermediate-level nutrient solutions, and 1 billion high-level nutrient solutions!"

"The electronic records inside the spacecraft say that this is enough supplies to support the Southern Cross for half a year!"

Xia Chujian frowned and said, "How many people are there in the Southern Cross?"

"At least a billion, right?"

"Is this amount of nutrient solution enough for one billion people to eat for half a year?"

Qilu said: "If the local population can still grow their own food and use this nutrient solution, they can still survive for half a year."

Xia Chujian nodded: "That's right, those one billion people will not be completely unproductive and just wait for relief."

She came back to her senses and said with sudden realization, "I thought so! Shaofu, the star closest to the Southern Cross, is fifteen light years away."

"How did we support them before?!"

“So it’s through this wormhole!”

"This interstellar spaceship must be going through this wormhole to the star field near the Southern Cross!"

This can save a lot of time.

But she was puzzled again: "...Aren't all the large wormholes between the North Star Empire and the Southern Cross Principality destroyed?"

Qi Lu said: "Master, this is no longer the star field of the Beichen Empire, this is the star field of the Southern Cross Principality."

"So, theoretically, this wormhole is an internal wormhole of the Principality of the Southern Cross."

"It's just very close to the star field of the Beichen Empire."

Xia Chujian suddenly realized: "I understand! So that's how it is!"

"This wormhole is an internal wormhole of the Principality of the Southern Cross, but we use it to deliver supplies to the defenders on the Southern Cross."

"The Zerg must also know about this wormhole, and are secretly using it!"

"They used this wormhole to suddenly appear in the star field near Shaofu Star!"

This is the second update. There will be a new update at 05:00 in the evening!
