Walk alone in the abyss

In the Feinan, Yang Ming, who had just woken up, looked at the information summary column in front of him, and his mood gradually sank.

"boss."

Yang Ming rubbed his forehead: "Is there still no trace of the Valkyrie?"

"Yes," said Li in a low voice, "We underestimated the difficulty of finding her in the vast interstellar space. There is no pattern in the activities of that ghost ship."

Yang Ming pondered a few times, but did not hesitate too much.

"When looking for forty-eight galaxies, if we can't find them, we will shrink across the board. Molly Miss Mining Group will only carry out economic business from now on."

"Yes, boss."

Yang Ming got up and walked to the corner, and began to move his body to maintain a state of combat readiness.

at the same time.

Sherman Empire, Skyfury Fortress, a certain combat meeting room.

Gris and several captains of similar rank were standing or sitting behind the conference table, while two gray-haired female bosses were explaining the next action plan.

"This merchant ship that disappeared half a year ago, the Blue Charm, or Charm Blue, this damn naming rule!"

"In short, this ship has appeared in our monitoring network five times in a row, and once it was very close to the monitoring station outside the Emperor Star Circle."

"The last time I photographed it was two days ago, in this star field... Does it look familiar?"

Gris looked at the meteorite belt circled by the commander, frowned and said, "The area where the battle to encircle and suppress the Valkyrie two years ago."

"That's right," the female boss gave Gris an appreciative look.

The captains on the side curled their lips and rolled their eyes, expressing their dissatisfaction on their faces.

Gris didn't care about his brother's small emotions, and continued to ponder: "The above means that they suspect that the Valkyrie is not dead, and then they are still doing evil?"

"That's not the conclusion we came to."

Commander said:

"This is the unanimous fact of Professor Kigrove's original team.

"It is also a few core members of the team. After analyzing the signs of the ghost ship and its trajectory, it is believed that there is a 30% possibility that the Valkyrie controlled the ship and used her mind to control it. means.

"They are the people who know the characteristics of the ancient gods and the Valkyrie best in the empire.

"The Valkyrie they talk about will gradually evolve into the biggest threat to the empire, and there will be a crisis that threatens the safety of the Emperor Star."

Gris shook his head: "I admit that the Valkyrie is the strongest modified body I have ever encountered. She exceeds our definition of biological modification, but this statement is exaggerated."

"Her appearance was a coincidence," the commander said slowly, "She is Professor Kigrove's daughter, the only daughter, but fate seems to have played a joke on Professor Kigrove, her body index is perfect In line with the needs of the experiment, Kigrov gave his all to the Empire."

The faces of the captains suddenly changed.

"The Valkyries hate the Empire for all this," the commander sighed.

Gris took a breath, and murmured again: "If it's that lunatic, he can indeed do such a thing, but how can he prove that the Valkyrie is connected with this ghost ship?"

"There is no way to prove it," the commander said, "but even if there is only a slight doubt, we have to investigate it."

"Moreover, this ghost ship itself is somewhat abnormal. It is the mission of our army to deal with these abnormal incidents."

A captain nodded: "After all, we are idle when we are idle."

Grace smiled and said nothing.

The commander said solemnly:

"The military has dispatched 125 detection ships and three independent teams to conduct a wide-area search in this area. The nearby commercial routes have been temporarily diverted, and the surrounding administrative planets have also dispatched more than 300 A defensive warship, search the entire area for traces of this ghost ship.

"Everything is done in secret.

"Based on the performance of this merchant ship and the efficiency of its emergency charging system, we conclude that it cannot leave this boundary."

The commander drew a large circle on the star map.

"You each gather your team members, leave the base within the next two galactic hours, and rush directly to the area... Do you understand?"

Gries and several captains stood still at the same time, and roared angrily:

"yes!"

Two galaxies later.

The three special ships left the Skyfury Fortress, jumped directly in the area affected by the gravity of the fortress, and charged into the vast deep space.

...

"Boss, the Sherman Empire suddenly mobilized a large number of ships to search the area in front of us."

"A large number of ships?"

Yang Ming wondered, "How many?"

"According to the information I just captured, there are at least four to five hundred exploration ships from various nearby administrative planets."

Law softly groaned a few times:

"There are also a large number of military detection ships operating together, and their range of activities coincides with the airspace we are going to investigate next.

"I'm getting more information."

Yang Ming had a bad premonition: "Check again."

"Good boss."

Law remained silent, while Yang Ming took out the airspace map, and quickly marked a series of marker points based on the information he had so far.

During this period of time, they have traveled all over the small No Man's Sky, invested a lot of money, built a network, and installed monitors, but they only found a few clues.

And now, the Sherman Empire is likely to rush ahead of them and find the ghost ship first.

"Boss, they are looking for the blue number."

"I knew it," Yang Ming scolded, "But it also shows that the route we have determined at this stage is probably correct, this is the Sherman Empire, and the empire's officials must have more information than we do. "

Yang Ming exhaled lightly, and continued: "Let Feinan and Dongfeng stop temporarily, I have to think about countermeasures."

"Yes, boss."

Feinan and Dongfeng stopped at the same time.

Of course, there is no absolute stillness in the universe, the space itself is expanding, and large galaxy clusters are also moving towards a greater gravitational source, and stillness is still a relative concept.

Yang Ming quickly made up his mind.

"Let the Dongfeng maintain long-range reinforcements, and do not enter the front airspace unless it is absolutely necessary, and it cannot be directly exposed to the sight of the empire." Yang Ming said, "Feinan and the white ghost have entered the front area, if they find it, we will send a coordination request , I suspect that there is a swarm of insects hiding nearby."

Law thought carefully and reminded: "If the Valkyrie is really found in the airspace ahead, boss, do you want to fight the Valkyrie as a white ghost?"

"No," Yang Ming thought for a while, "I will judge according to the situation, don't worry, I cherish my life very much, if the conditions are not ripe, it is impossible to collide head-on with the Valkyrie."

Law said again: "And, if you appear near the Valkyrie, she should sense your presence."

"Didn't you make two sets of signal shielding equipment for Hera?" Yang Ming said with a smile, "If I remember correctly, there is also one set on the Feinan, bring it here for me."

"Okay boss, I'm going to check it out now."

"Go ahead, I'll drive by myself next."

Yang Ming made a gesture, and the floating square rudder of the Feinan floated towards him, and he held it tightly.

Destiny is still in your own hands after all.

Feinan is in full stealth mode, accelerating towards the airspace ahead.

Through long-term infiltration of the Sherman Empire network, Law has established an intelligence system that relies on civilian networks.

At this moment, the intelligence system is already operating at full capacity.

The search operation of the Sherman Empire was directly ordered by the superiors of the special forces, and the administrative stars and garrison space stations in this airspace urgently dispatched idle ships to cooperate with the work.

Because the order was issued too quickly, many chief executives directly used military and civilian ships in order to complete the targets.

This provided Ritsu with a window into the official actions of the Empire.

A steady stream of news was gathered on the projection screen at Yang Ming's hand.

Discovered the traces of the special forces of the Sherman Empire;

All the ships participating in this airspace search have obtained various information about the blue ship;

The imperial military has dispatched a large number of ships. Although there are no heavy fireships, the combat power of this part cannot be underestimated...

There are indications that the Sherman Empire is indeed eyeing the ghost ship, and suspects that the ship may hide some 'weapons' of mass destruction.

Otherwise they wouldn't use special forces.

Law was amazed at the side: "It would be great if the Valkyrie was directly killed by the Sherman Empire."

"It depends on the situation," Yang Ming said, "What I'm worried about is that the empire's belief in getting rid of the Valkyrie is not firm enough, and they still want to take her back for research."

"This possibility is extremely high," Li reminded, "but even if this happens, I don't recommend you to make a move under such conditions. If the Valkyrie is caught by the other party, she may copy her last time means of escape."

Yang Ming murmured: "She would still run away like that, right? She still left a cell mass in a hidden corner."

"Yes, boss, this is almost inevitable," said Li, "The main purpose of our active attack this time is that after defeating her, you can try to see if she can sense the cell cluster she left behind at close range. position, and then there will be no future troubles."

Yang Ming nodded and began to remain silent.

The Feinan entered the Sherman Empire search area.

It followed a civilian ship and slowly advanced towards the middle of the encirclement network constructed by the Sherman Empire.

Two hours later, the civilian ship was suddenly asked to stop and return the same way.

Yang Ming's tense nerves trembled slightly: "Have they found the ghost ship?"

Law did not answer immediately, but was searching and confirming the information with all his strength.

About half a minute later, several pictures appeared in front of Yang Ming.

It was on the periphery of a dim yellow gas giant planet, below the magnificent planetary ring composed of gas and dust, the cargo ship with blue and white paint was floating quietly.

It is as small as dust.

It doesn't seem to have any life fluctuations.

Whether it is intuitive sensing or instrument data display, it has no signs of life.

Yang Ming exhaled lightly.

His mood was a bit complicated, and at this moment, some uncontrollable desire to fight was burning.

Only by defeating the Valkyrie can he live a stable life and plan and plan more important events without any worries.

Just make a break here?

No, you can't have this kind of thinking, otherwise it will affect your own judgment.

At present, the Sherman Empire officials have intervened, and under this prerequisite, they must obtain the greatest benefits and minimize losses.

"Boss, the special forces ship arrived in the area and sent several small boats."

"Let's also go up and observe from the outside," Yang Ming said slowly, "Set the particle transmission drop point on the ship deck of the Empire's special forces, and keep the farthest distance."

"It's a little risky...Okay boss, I'll execute it."

Law did not persuade much.

On the Dongfeng, Mimi Li and Kolev skillfully completed the preparations for the jump. They stared at the information from the law sharing, and they also secretly raised the sweat for Yang Ming.

Compared to a super cyborg, the Sherman Empire is obviously more terrifying.

...

On the few fast-moving small boats.

Gris frowned and looked at the cargo ship ahead, feeling a little nervous in his heart.

He seldom gets nervous. The last time he felt nervous was when he faced the roaring tsunami of insects on the Zubin Star Battlefield.

"Boss," a few team members in the rear laughed, "the higher-ups really think highly of us, so let us just let us go to explore the way, and blow up the ship, it's over."

Gries said: "They want the data, and no one knows if there are any survivors here. Don't complain indiscriminately. Our three brigades have sent their own elites, which is already considered fair."

These men and women chuckled lightly.

There were six people in all in the dinghy.

Gries is a fighter with "all-round development", shouldering the responsibilities of the captain, observing the situation and commanding in response.

Two muscular cyborgs, equipped with super-strong defensive shields, are the squad's two doors.

Two mechanically transformed fighters equipped with mechanical prosthetics are connected to remote fire control and detection devices, which can carry out small-scale fire suppression in a short period of time.

There is also a general reformed soldier, the same type as Gris, who is mainly responsible for communication and supplementary firepower, and will continue to pilot the airship later.

The other two teams have similar configurations.

Gris glanced at his watch and said, "Check the equipment, we enter through the hatch in the middle of the cargo ship."

The six people were busy in silence.

The airship began to slow down, and the six people were pulled forward slightly by inertia.

The six activated their space suits, carried their flying backpacks, and opened the left and right hatches of the airship. A total of 18 elite soldiers of the special forces left the three small boats and flew towards the cargo ship several kilometers ahead.

"Boss, there is a weak life reaction inside, which is only barely detected at this distance."

"It may be in the emergency shelter or the nutrition warehouse."

Grace nodded.

He had obtained more detailed test data before, and there were some horribly dead bodies, and there was a life reaction on the bridge.

It was also based on these test data that the higher authorities decided to send them to explore.

The jet pack lights up the halo.

Gris picked up the laser rifle and pointed it at the hatch. Two bio-transformation fighters moved forward first, one of them unfolded his lightsaber, pierced the hatch, and slid slowly.

Gries and the other two mechanical reformers turned on the fire safety at the same time.

With a muffled bang, the hatch slowly slid down.

There is no gushing of air.

Simulates gravity as normal.

The cabin door is quiet and there is no light at all.

Gris' Adam's apple trembled a few times, and he flew in first with a gun, and was caught by the simulated gravity. Two strong men stretched out their lightsabers, and a female mechanic behind lit up the ball floating on their shoulders, completely illuminating this section of the cabin. Bright.

"ah!"

Looking at the horrific corpses in the cabin, the new mechanical transformation man couldn't help screaming, and immediately covered his mouth.

Gris didn't bother to look at her, but glanced around vigilantly.

...

Aboard the Feinan.

Yang Ming also had no way of knowing what was going on in the cabin, he could only calculate from a distance and sense carefully.

There is no breath of Valkyrie for the time being.

Did she hide in a gaseous planet?

The environment here is extremely harsh.

Yang Ming whispered: "Does the Sherman Empire not like drone technology at all? Why don't they arrange a few drones to explore the way first?"

Law muttered: "They want to calculate the cost."

"The cost of special forces is not cheap!"

"Who knows," Li smacked his lips, "The empire believes in the power of people more, maybe that's why."

Yang Ming just wanted to laugh and tease a few words, but a trace of irritability suddenly appeared in his heart.

That formidable enemy is nearby.
