286 First Encounter
"I am the captain of Alpha 3, the frigate in the human fleet. It's better not to mention the name. I don't know how many years have passed since I left the earth. I escaped in the universe and searched for the Garden of Eden, which symbolizes hope in the desperate escape."
"Yes. At its peak, our humanity had a population of 6 billion. But on that day, nightmare came. How powerless and fragile the weapons and equipment we once proud of were in front of them. The 6 billion people had dropped sharply to one billion, or even lower in the wars. Except for the American continent, the rest of our humanity had basically fallen."
"After that, human beings began to struggle to find hope in despair and salvation. But how ridiculous the resistance of human beings is in the face of the unparalleled power of those demons."
"In the end, human beings decided to choose 100,000 people as seeds among all surviving human beings and send them to space with the power of all human beings. In the vast universe, we will find the last hope of human beings - the Garden of Eden."
"I don't know how long it has passed. Since we started our space escape journey, we have been chased by those demons. After many failures, in order to get the chance to survive, we have to use the method of abandoning troops and cutting off the rear to cover the retreat of the main fleet. Although we all know that this method is just to quench thirst, in order to survive and to find that ethereal hope, we have no other choice."
"Not long ago, my son, Frei 4, a young captain, took the initiative to leave behind when covering the retreat of the main fleet."
"Now, my good boy! Father, stayed!"
He Wuming closed the video played on his personal terminal, closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths. Although he didn't want to, it actually proved that the guess in He Wuming's heart was correct.
That's right. The biological warship that He Moming and others encountered before was BETA from the MUV world. However, in the original work, there was no mention of BETA in the universe. It is no wonder that He Moming did not recognize it immediately. In the end, by watching the information left by the captain of the frigate, He Moming confirmed his guess.
"I didn't expect it! Such a result." He murmured for no reason and opened his personal terminal again.
"Now, our last hope is being hunted by those demons, BETA. The fleet size when we set out has been reduced to one-half of its heyday. The escort tactical aircraft has also been reduced to less than one-third of its heyday. We are already at the end of our lives."
"Now, Alpha 3 and Friendship No. 4 and 5, led by me, will carry out the last battle of life. I hope the main fleet can escape smoothly! At this moment, if there is really a god, please listen to my prayers! Don't let our sacrifice become a meaningless symbol!"
A pair of delicate hands surrounded He Wuming's neck from behind. Lin Mingmei took the opportunity to put it on He Wuming's shoulder and said quietly: "They look very similar to us before!"
He Wuming naturally knew what Lin Mingmei meant. That's right! He was also invaded by alien invasion, faced a catastrophe, and also had a group of humans struggling to survive in the universe, trying to contribute their own strength to the continuation of human civilization. But in the end, the two sides were very different at one point. The Zenith Stars gained feelings in Lin Mingmei's singing and finally reached a reconciliation with humans. The BETA in the MUV world is just a biomechanical miner created by a super civilization, and humans are just some self-propelled minerals for them.
After listening to He Wuming's explanation, Lin Mingmei put her face on He Wuming's face and said softly: "Wu Ming, can you save them? After all, we were like them."
He inexplicably reached out and hugged Lin Mingmei into his arms and said seriously: "Then, our Galaxy singer is about to take the stage."
"I get it! I can sing. Just like that back then." Lin Mingmei nodded seriously.
At this time, news came from King Kong. The light-class light cruisers scattered out had captured the energy traces left by the remaining human fleet. However, there were still some unknown element fluctuations that had not been identified yet.
"That is the G element. I have learned the true identity of the enemy from the items we have obtained. The enemy we are facing now is an extremely powerful enemy. Although I have some knowledge of this enemy, unfortunately, these understandings are limited to the enemy in the planet's atmosphere. I have no idea about the enemy in the universe." He said inexplicably.
"Element G? New enemy?" Lisa Kyujo looked at Lin Mingmei, who was sitting in He Mingmei's arms and asked.
"That's right. BETA. The name of the enemy we are facing now is BETA. They are a kind of biological miner created by a super civilization to collect resources. Unfortunately, although they are a kind of intelligent creature, neither me nor Lin Mingmei, our abilities cannot communicate with it smoothly. Therefore, from now on, we can directly determine that we are in a state of war with BETA." He said slowly inexplicably.
He inexplicably signaled King Kong to open the tactical network, and then said the BETA characteristics he knew one by one.
After saying that, He inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief and said, "This is the information about BETA that I know. Unfortunately, I know nothing about BETA in the universe. Next, I can only see the cooperation between King Kong and Lisa. So, please tell me, the pilot!"
After looking at each other, King Kong and Lisa Kyujo nodded. So they kept asking He Moming about BETA, one by one. After completely extracting He Moming's information about VETA, King Kong and Lisa Kyujo both returned to the bridge to make plans and arrangements for the next plan.
"I wonder, you have worked so hard." Lin Mingmei smiled and said, "I wonderingly," said.
During the discussion between King Kong and Lisa Kyujo, the First Squadron chased after the detected energy residue route.
The harsh alarm sound seemed to have become a frequent visitor to the bridge.
Shepard Price took off her hat and threw it aside casually. The button of the wind was tightly buckled, but it was now unbuttoned by Shepard Price.
"Escape time?" Shepard Price shouted in a hoarse voice and stared at her blood-covered eyes.
"The distance is 9,000. Five minutes later, it enters the maximum range of our firepower." The CIC reported quickly. But before the CIC finished speaking, several lasers suddenly appeared from a distance, and a human frigate not far away was pierced one by one, bombing out a large spark.
"Five minutes? Then we will all be shot and knocked out." Shepard Price laughed at the smoke that had not yet dissipated, then shouted: "Discharge all tactical planes. Tell them! Even if they die, they will entangle the light-level gunboats. Otherwise, we will all be done! Notify the entire ship!! Take out the last bit of strength to get out, approach the enemy with the maximum speed of battle, and then destroy the enemy with the maximum firepower!"
"I know this is a brainless and idiot! But now we have no choice! Those who don't want to be tortured will bite their teeth and charge forward!!"
Perhaps inspired by Shepard Price's somewhat self-deprecating words, all the remaining warships in the human fleet burst out at unprecedented speeds as if they were injected with chicken blood, and rushed forward frantically against the lasers. The tactical aircraft released early also launched a fierce charge attack, piercing through the cosmic interception-level formation that intercepted them, and rushed to the light-level gunboat array to launch an attack.
For a moment, sparks flashed in the dense cosmic BETA formation. Because of the tactical aircraft's kamikaze-like charge, the formation of the cosmic BETA was messed up, resulting in the light-level gunboat's firepower strike on the remaining human fleet by several levels. This gave the remaining human fleet the chance to counterattack.
"Commander-in-chief! We have entered the maximum range."
Shepard Price slapped the table and shouted: "What are you waiting for!! Open fire! Keep the maximum battle speed! Use the maximum firepower to fight hard. Notify all tactical aircraft that even if the last one is left, I will wrap myself around the light-class gunboats tightly!!"
Taking advantage of the chaotic enemy formation, the remaining human fleets fired their greatest firepower one after another. The overwhelming artillery fire covered the first formation of the cosmic BETA. For a moment, fierce artillery fire broke out and ran around.
At first glance, the remaining human fleet seemed to have mastered the victory node of this encounter. Shepard Price clenched his fist and waved it hard, and continued to shout: "Attack! Attack! Use your greatest firepower attack! What is the right wing doing! Why is the firepower coverage so low!! Punch the enemy in front of you and kill the light-level gunboat. Victory belongs to us!!"
In the fierce artillery fire of the remaining human fleet, the first line of defense blocking the light-class gunboats finally collapsed, revealing the light-class gunboats that were entangled with tactical aircraft.
Seeing the victory in sight, the remaining human fleet was casting all the fiercest attacks on the heads of the light-class gunboats. The tactical aircraft entangled with the light-class gunboats also completed their own missions and spread the attack route of their own fleet.
Seeing the light-class gunboats that were constantly struggling in the artillery fire and then flooded by the artillery fire, all the tactical aircraft pilots couldn't help but relax.
At this moment, a huge beam of light suddenly broke through the rolling smoke and crossed that not very far distance. When everyone was not aware of it, half of the remaining fleet of human fleets were quietly submerged by the huge beam.
Shepard Price, who was still shouting various instructions just now, stared blankly at the left wing, which was already full of wreckage.
Chapter completed!
