The Blazing Shark ship entered the rescue port, and the transport ship began its long interstellar journey.
This journey was undoubtedly much quieter. Ding Meng stayed in the lounge to cultivate. He had told Meng Yan in advance not to disturb his rest unless there was something special.
The hundreds of people who came out of the campsite now revered Ding Meng as if he was a god. Whatever he said, they would do. When he said they would not disturb them, they did not even enter the resting area. All of them stayed in the energy cabin and the database.
Most of these people were non-combat Origin Ability users, and they were basically all doctors. Once they recovered, they began to study.
They had left the Federation for too many years, and a lot of their knowledge and information could not keep up with the current era. It just so happened that the energy module and the database had enough photon computers and information for them to consult, so everyone was eagerly studying.
This time, it was the four-eyed man and Hairy's turn to be bored. The four-eyed man was a bit better, as Hairy's "Old Red Plum" had already been smoked a few days ago. Once his addiction to smoking kicked in, he became abnormally irritable.
"Four-eyed, I seem to remember that you still have a few packs of Tiandongshan on you, right?" Hairy fiddled with the interstellar map on the control panel.
The four-eyed man had a cigarette butt in his mouth, and his eyes narrowed as he smoked. "You uncultured thing, what Tiandongshan?
This is called Hongta Mountain. "
Hairy laughed. "Yes, yes, Hongta Mountain, Hongta Mountain. How about it?
Give your brother one to try, I'm getting impatient. "
The four-eyed man took the cigarette butt out of his mouth and handed it to Hairy. "Here, take it. I'll let you have a few puffs. Don't say that I'm not loyal enough."
Hairy was furious and slapped the cigarette butt away. "I'm loyal to your father. You give me the leftovers, but you secretly smoke new cigarettes. You call that loyalty?"
"Ah …" The four-eyed man suddenly let out a strange cry, and his whole body trembled.
Hairy sneered. "This trick again, trying to change the topic?"
The four-eyed man fiercely patted his chest: "What the f * ck, the cigarette burned my suit, you motherf * cker."
Hairy was stunned. "Wife?
Where did you get a wife?
How come I don't know? "
The four-eyed man was speechless. "It's a suit, not a wife. What kind of ears do you have?"
Maozi said, "Oh, sorry, my ears are foggy, I didn't hear clearly."
"Scram to the side." Four-eyed kicked Hairy to the ground, then went to fiddle with the map.
Not only did Mao Ziyan not get what she wanted, but she was also kicked hard by him. She got up and was about to fight back when she suddenly heard the system voice from the main control panel, "Impossible. Impossible."
Maozie asked curiously, "What's the situation?"
Four Eyes' expression was a bit serious. "Don't mess around. I've sent thirteen communication signals to the coordinates given by Big Sister Meng, but there was no response."
Mao Zi said, "That planet KV303?"
The four-eyed man said, "Yes, that one."
Maozi's eyes darted around. "Did you get the coordinates wrong?"
The four-eyed man said, "Wrong sister, I've sent it 13 times, how could I be wrong?"
Mao Zi also realized that something was wrong. "You'd better tell Sister Meng. The ship is full of people. If something goes wrong, Brother Ding will beat you to death."
The four-eyed man didn't raise any objections this time. "Alright, go and call Big Sister Meng to the control hall."
Maozie was immediately dissatisfied. "Damn it, why don't you go?"
The four-eyed man argued. "Last time, I went to the Poison Hazard Planet. This time, it's your turn."
Maozie said, "Why?"
"Because of this!" The four-eyed man took out a Hongtashan cigarette and waved it in front of him.
Maozie grabbed it and put it in his mouth. After lighting it, he gritted his teeth and turned around. "Damn it, the next time you don't have a cigarette, I'll show you."
The four-eyed man kicked him again. "Move faster, you're so slow …"
Meng Yan was quickly invited over. She also fiddled with the interstellar map. "There's no response at all?"
The four-eyed man didn't dare to be rash. "Yes, I've waited for a few hours since the last signal was sent, but there's really no response at all."
Maozie hesitated. "Could it be that Green Arrow's people dozed off and forgot to look at the communication channel?"
"Impossible!"
Meng Yan flatly rejected. "Mr Ting said that Green Arrow's base is a tower receiver. There's also a spaceport there to land spaceships. Even if there's no one guarding the tower, it's not to the extent that spaceships can't be received, right?"
The four-eyed man said seriously, "Yes, I used quantum communication for the last three times. They didn't reply at all."
Meng Yan said in a deep voice, "You two keep an eye on the communication channel. I'll go invite Mr Ting over."
Ding Meng was quickly alerted. Ten minutes later, he appeared in the control hall. After listening to the report from the four-eyed man and the other two, he fell into deep thought.
He didn't complete the mission in Meteor City, and the reagent was snatched away by Bai Yue in the end. However, the Green Arrow Corps wouldn't go so far as to draw a clear line with him and cut off all contact with him.
He wasn't sure if the higher-ups of Green Arrow would think this way, but he knew that Gulaga and Sleman were definitely not such people.
After pondering for a long time, Ding Meng asked, "How far are we from Planet KV303 now?"
Meng Yan said, "At our current speed, we'll reach it in three days."
Ding Meng said, "What if the stabilizer enters extreme speed?"
The four-eyed man said, "We'll reach it in four hours."
Ding Meng decisively ordered, "Then turn on all the ion engines and fly there as fast as we can."
His hunch was right. After the carrier entered Star System KV3545, the ion radar was turned on, and the real-time image of Planet KV303 was displayed.
The Green Arrow base was still located on the snowy ground of the eternal night, but the 15-storey spaceport was no longer there. It was as if it had been sliced diagonally by a sharp sword. The 7th to 15th floors were gone, and the remaining part had turned into ruins.
The helipad was riddled with holes, and not a single spaceship could be seen. There were raging flames everywhere, and the snowy ground outside was full of burn marks. There were still billowing smoke, and there were deep pits, corpses, and debris everywhere …
It was obvious that this place had been attacked not long ago. Judging from the scene, it must have been a fierce aerial battle.
Ding Meng never expected that the Green Arrow base would be bombed to such a degree. The four-eyed man was also shocked. "Holy shit, this is the Holy Grail Federation's observation area. Someone actually dared to make a move here. They've got some guts."
Meng Yan's face was solemn. "To have such guts, it's most likely one of those space pirates."
Ding Meng's face was unusually cold. "See if there's anyone alive?"
"Yes!
It seems there's only one left! "
The Russian zoomed in on the image and saw that on the tarmac, there was a person dragging two other people with great difficulty as they walked through the snowy ground.
The image of the person being dragged was red. This was a hologram created by thermal imaging, proving that this person was alive. However, the two people being dragged were dark gray. Clearly, they had no signs of life and were already dead. It seemed that this person was planning to bury his companions' bodies deep in the snow.
"Hurry up and land." Ding Meng was anxious.
The tarmac was destroyed, so it was not easy for the huge starship to land. It could only land on a slightly flat snowy ground further away.
As soon as the cabin door opened, Ding Meng was the first to rush out in the snowstorm. His speed was really like a sharp arrow leaving the bow, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
Xueyan and Meng Yan followed closely behind. Ren Tianlan and the four-eyed man stayed behind to receive the hundreds of people on the ship. If there was any situation, they would immediately close the cabin door.
On the runway of the spaceport, Ding Meng could finally see the tragic situation around him. None of the dozens of Blazing Shark spaceships were spared. All of them exploded or disintegrated, and the wreckage was scattered all over the base.
The corpses of the Hunters were deformed. Not many of them were intact. Most of them were charred in the explosion, some were smashed into meat paste by the steel plates falling from the sky, some were blasted into pieces by the particle laser cannons, and some were hacked to death by weapons. Not only were broken limbs scattered all over the ground, but they were also splattered and hung on the wreckage of the spaceship. It was a horrible sight to behold.
However, the Hunters were not the ones who suffered the most. Many unarmed refugees fell to the ground like wheat in a paddy field. They were cut down like grass, lying neatly on the ground. Judging from the way they ran and the look of terror in their eyes, they must have screamed and struggled to escape before being mercilessly killed by the enemies chasing after them. Many of these corpses were headless, so they must have been cut off by a sharp weapon ….
Ding Meng rushed to the snowy ground and shouted, "Yu Liang, Big Brother Yu Liang, Big Brother Yu Liang …"
He had already observed with his telekinesis vision. The last person alive was Yu Liang.
Yu Liang's face could not be seen at all. His clothes were burned and wrapped around his body. The large and small wounds on his body were shockingly dense. The blood on his face had long dried and was replaced by black soot.
"Brother Ding!" Yu Liang's dim eyes suddenly flashed with a glimmer of light. "You're back?"
Ding Meng gritted his teeth and said, "What's going on?
How did you end up like this? "
Yu Liang showed an expression of grief and indignation. "They're all dead. They're all dead. I just came back and they're already like this."
Ding Meng said, "Where's Captain Gulaga?
Captain Sileman? "
Yu Liang gritted his teeth and said, "After sending Miss Dai Yi to the Federation, the Deputy Commander reported back to the main base. He was lucky enough to escape this calamity and is on his way here. The Captain is heavily injured and is now in the basement. I'm the only one on the surface. I went out to buy some supplies and hid. The moment I came back, the enemy fleet left. If not for the escape pod, I would have died. But when I came out of the pod, this place … this place …
But then … but … but … but … but … but … "His voice suddenly choked. Obviously, he could not continue because anyone who climbed out of the escape pod would be shocked by the tragic situation around them, let alone someone like Yu Liang who had deep feelings for this place. He could not accept the situation in front of him.
"The people on the starship behind us will come to help you. There are supplies on it. Hang in there. I'll go find the captain." After Ding Meng said this, he rushed to the small hill in the south like the wind.
