In the command cabin of the expedition fleet flagship "Taimiao", Snate stared at the five interstellar ships emitting thick smoke and fire on the monitor screen, his face solemn and sad...
As long as he orders it, with just one salvo, they will be buried in the dark interstellar space forever.
He was hesitating, and the double torture of strategy and morality made it difficult for him to make a decision.
Liu Hanyang turned to him and stared at him quietly. Through Liu Hanyang's sad eyes, Snet felt a sense of sadness and begging...
He understood what Liu Hanyang meant, turned to the commander, and ordered: "Notify Gonzales and order the attacking fleet to return immediately!"
After he finished speaking, he turned to Miyazawa and his party beside him and said, "Let your formations return to their respective escort positions."
The attack fleet returned to the main fleet. The armed escort formation behind the voyage fleet was divided into four squadrons and each maneuvered to its previous escort position.
The expedition fleet continued to head towards its original target, Barnard's Star. At this time, it was about 4.06 light-years away. The pursuit of the zombie fleet allowed the expedition fleet to return to the solar system by about 0.06 light-years.
But for this red dwarf star, which is only 5.98 light-years away from the Earth, this distance is really insignificant.
While the voyage fleet readjusted its course and headed towards the target, the 35,000 space vehicles belonging to the zombie fleet located about 150,000 kilometers to the left of the fleet followed closely...
Their mothership, the zombie fleet led by Fang Junhuang, continued to escape into deep space. As for where they were going, no one knew.
Snate stared bleakly at the 35,000 space vehicles that looked like a metal cloud on the monitoring screen... Under the bleak appearance was a very impatient face.
"Send a warning to them. If they continue to fly with our fleet and refuse to evacuate within 3 minutes, we will use all available force to shoot them all down!"
The communications officer immediately sent an evacuation order to the other party, but there was still no response, and there was no sign of evacuation. They were still flying with the voyage fleet...
Snet looked at his watch. One minute and 20 seconds had passed since the eviction order was issued, and he was ready for a full-scale attack.
Suddenly, he remembered what Liu Hanyang had said before, and immediately turned to him.
Liu Hanyang still had a touch of sadness on his face, and it was obvious that he still had insurmountable moral obstacles to this group of zombies.
He still wants to save them, and he still sees them as human beings who have temporarily lost their human cognition and memory.
"Did you just say that this space vehicle cluster was a decoy?" Snart asked doubtfully.
Liu Hanyang nodded, then turned his eyes to the monitoring screen, staring at the shining metal cloud. After a while, he withdrew his gaze and said, "They are waiting for our attack!"
"Waiting for our attack!?"
"Yes, once we launch an attack on them, in order to cover the fleet, we will inevitably dispatch space vehicles to engage in a decisive battle, while other ships in the fleet will be responsible for supporting firepower. This will play into their intentions, and the entire fleet will do the same thing again. The fate of the Force and the Yunmiao."
Snate understood that once a large number of space vehicles were dispatched to fight with it, the enemy would take the opportunity to get involved. Once the enemy aircraft entered the mothership, they would repeat the fate of the "Yunmiao" being completely captured by zombies.
It’s not that he didn’t learn the lessons from before, he just fought back the mourners.

The victory of the corpse fleet made him forget everything for a moment and underestimate the enemy.
In his eyes, a mere 35,000 space vehicles in front of nearly 300 large interstellar ships would be crushed to pieces like a mantis trying to block a car. However, he ignored that the "Yunmiao" was the one being crushed. This strategy captures the fact.
He took a long breath, cold sweat flashing on his forehead.
"They are just a bunch of hungry wolves, and we are the prey!" Liu Hanyang sighed.
"Are we just going to let them follow us like this and do nothing?" Miyazawa and his party said angrily.
"It is not difficult to destroy them. The ship defense weapon systems on our various types of warships can easily eat them up. But they are indeed a pack of vicious wolves. If they desperately attack one or two of our starships, we will lose 1 It's a huge loss for us!" Snart said.
Everyone fell into silence. A super fleet large enough to destroy a small galaxy was helpless against a mere 35,000 small carrier-based space vehicles.
In view of the lessons learned from the "Yunmiao", space vehicles must never be dispatched. Although every ship in the voyage fleet is loaded with tens of thousands of space vehicles, they cannot launch a rash attack now.
"The most effective countermeasure against space vehicles is still space vehicles." Snate murmured.
"What about small starships? They might be able to!"
Snate was inspired by the words of Miyazawa and his party, and he seemed to see hope.
In addition to the airborne space vehicles, the long-distance fleet also has a large number of small interstellar spacecrafts. They have longer ranges and more powerful firepower. They can perform some tasks that space vehicles cannot perform. Except for their inferior maneuverability, their performance is far superior. higher than the former.
Soon, about 30,000 small interstellar spacecraft flew out from the voyage fleet, and they flew towards the star field about 350,000 kilometers away from the space vehicle cluster driven by the zombies...
Its goal is very clear, that is to give up the disadvantage of fighting and chasing it at close range, and use the advantage of distance to give it a heavy blow.
At the same time, various types of starships in the voyage fleet have also opened their weapon bays, and they will cooperate with small starship formations to carry out joint attacks.
As soon as the small starship formation flew out of the mothership, a swarm of space vehicles like locusts swooped towards it. They seemed to be impatient and eager to launch an attack, or they did not want to lose the advantage of close combat.
Among the three, only Liu Hanyang's face was still solemn. He still could not overcome his own moral constraints. Although the zombies had lost their human cognition, they were once human beings. He really didn't want to see the war between the two sides. See.
But if they are not eradicated, they will always be an invisible threat to the entire fleet.
Facing the fierce battle that was about to begin, he turned his back helplessly.
The space vehicle cluster chasing the small interstellar spacecraft formation did not catch up with the former, but the distance became wider and wider.
Snate stared at the surveillance screen intently. Once the distance between the two sides reached the attack distance of 350,000 kilometers, he would immediately order a fatal blow.
Time passed by minute by second, and in another minute, the distance between the two sides would widen to the attack range of a small interstellar spacecraft formation.
Suddenly, Liu Hanyang seemed to have thought of something, and his face sank. He quickly turned to Snate and said quickly: "Order the small interstellar spacecraft formation to return immediately!"
His words made Snate, Miyazawa and his party feel horrified, and they both agreed
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
She looked at him with doubt on her face.
But soon, the two of them understood that in the star field about 4.5 million kilometers away from the Voyage Fleet, the zombie fleet dispatched 50,000 small interstellar spacecraft and was heading here at high speed...
Perhaps fearing that they would be intercepted by the voyage fleet, they made a roundabout arc in an attempt to bypass the voyage fleet. Everyone understood that their target was their own small interstellar spacecraft formation.
"It will be too late if we don't evacuate!" Liu Hanyang said loudly.
With the lessons learned from the past, Snart never questioned him again. He would lose precious opportunities by getting to the bottom of his doubts. He did not want to make the same mistake as the "Yunmiao" again.
Snate issued an emergency return order to the small starship formation, and they turned around and flew towards their respective motherships...
On the way back, they met head-on with the chasing space vehicle formation. According to Snate's emergency return order, the formation did not implement effective resistance. Their only purpose was to return.
Beams of laser beams and short-range aerial cannons like fire nets were fired from the space vehicles. Although the small interstellar spacecraft formations all opened dark matter protective barriers, more than 500 ships were shot down and injured.
After the attack, the small interstellar spacecraft formation had entered the voyage fleet, and they began to land one after another towards their respective motherships. The space vehicle formations were chasing after them. The three escort squadrons on the side attacked head-on.
After leaving behind the wreckage of more than 3,000 downed space vehicles, the zombies turned around and fled in panic, flying towards the left side of the voyage fleet...
After the small starship formations entered their respective motherships, the 50,000 small starships driven by zombies that came to support flew towards the retreating space vehicle cluster...
Snart did not order the voyage fleet to intercept them because their strategy was seen through by Liu Hanyang and there was no benefit in attacking them.
The reason why Liu Hanyang asked Snate to order the return flight was because he realized that the small interstellar spacecraft formation that came to support was not to rescue the trapped space vehicle cluster, but had another purpose.
Their purpose is to take the opportunity to sneak into the small starship formation of the Voyage Fleet while the two sides are fighting. When both sides lose the identification system of friend or foe, the latter is no match for them. By then, once Snate orders the retreat and returns to their respective mothership, zombies will mix in it.
As long as a certain number of zombies enter the interstellar ship, they will quickly capture the ship, the tragedy of the "Yunmiao" will happen again, and the end of the entire fleet will come.
Fortunately, Liu Hanyang saw through their plan.
Snate patted Liu Hanyang's shoulder heavily, and all his words were lost in words.
Snate turned around and stared at the monitoring screen again. About 150,000 kilometers away from the Voyage Fleet, a small starship formation driven by zombies merged with its space vehicle cluster.
They are densely packed across a dark star field, like two bright nebulae, the light is flashing, dazzling and dazzling, and it is like two devil's eyes staring at the entire voyage fleet at all times.
They are still flying at high speed with the voyage fleet... waiting for opportunities to find flaws.
Snate understands that if you want to eliminate threats, you must not rush for success, let alone make mistakes. Even if it is a small mistake, the entire fleet will be ruined if you are not careful!
The scene at this time is like the two sides playing a game of chess. The other side is attacking in silence, but our side can only defend. One wrong move and the whole game is lost.
