The moment the space vehicle exploded, Wessenk witnessed this moment in the command module of the "Powerful".
After a moment, he turned his attention to another large surveillance screen. On the screen was the space vehicle driven by Li Sujia that had just attacked Zhou Yun.
Wesenk's expressionless face and cold eyes made it impossible to guess what he was really thinking at the moment. After about a minute, he faced Miki Xingzhi next to him and said in a rhetorical tone: "What if they are here?" Are you going to act for us?"
"Acting?" Miki Xingzhi said in surprise. After thinking for a moment, his face immediately turned serious, "You mean... there was no one on the destroyed space vehicle at all. They were all on this one. ..”
Before Miki Xingzhi finished speaking, Wessenk nodded, and then turned his attention to the space vehicle driven by Li Sujia.
"Inform the pursuit troops to return and see Li Sujia's reaction!" Wesenk ordered.
Miki Xingzhi understood Wesenk's intention. If Li Sujia did not return with the pursuit force or secretly waited for an opportunity to escape, then their speculation would be confirmed: the destroyed space vehicle was actually a stand-in target drone. At this moment, all the escapees should On the space vehicle driven by Li Sujia.
"yes!"
Miki Xingyuki gave a standard military salute, and then immediately ordered the communications officer to send a return instruction to the pursuing troops.
The two columns of the pursuit force began to assemble, and they would return collectively after being combined into one.
Wesenk and Miki Xingzhi discovered that during this process, the space vehicle driven by Li Sujia did not respond at all. It hovered motionless in the original starry sky like a spectator, ignoring the instructions to return.
"Contact Li Sujia!" Wesenk ordered angrily.
Soon, the communication of Li Sujia's spacecraft was connected, and she appeared on the communication screen of "Qiang", with Mecha XM1367 and Mecha XM672 standing behind her.
Before Wessenk could ask why she didn't return, she said loudly: "Report to the captain, the spacecraft took off in a hurry in a non-mission state without replenishing the energy tank, and it has now exhausted its energy."
"What do you mean, if there is no energy, you will stay there forever?" Wesenk asked with disdain.
"I already have a solution."
"You need me to send an energy filling machine, right?"
"My solution is to use the energy pools of the mecha XM1367 and mecha XM672 behind me to provide energy for the aircraft. According to calculations, they can fully support the space vehicle's return."
Li Sujia's answer made Wesenk a little angry, but he couldn't find anything wrong with it.
Although she did not answer his question directly, she did not answer the question incorrectly. However, her answer still made him, the captain of the ship, a little embarrassed.
"Give me a moment," Wesenk said angrily.
"Three hours, Captain! In three hours, the energy pools of the two mechas will be loaded into the aircraft's energy cabin and the return flight will be realized!"
Wesenk looked at his watch and turned off the communication device with a sullen expression.
Subsequently, he ordered Miki Xingyuki to mobilize 20 space vehicles and 10 heavily equipped combat flying mechas from the pursuit force, and maneuvered in two groups to the left and right sides of the space vehicle where Li Sujia was located.
"After three hours, if there is still no movement, destroy it immediately!" Wesenk ordered.
Miki Xingzhi nodded, then ordered the main force of the pursuit force to continue returning, and issued the established attack order to the team monitoring Li Sujia.
Three hours passed by, and the space vehicle Li Sujia was on still showed no sign of starting.
Soon, something happened to the surveillance team. They began to maneuver toward their rear, in order to distance themselves and avoid being accidentally injured by explosive fragments or being accidentally shot by friendly forces.
The attack is about to begin.
But before the surveillance team could maneuver to the predetermined attack position, the space vehicle Li Sujia was on miraculously activated.
In the dark starry sky, four long particle flames shot out from the nozzles of the four engines. The space vehicle turned around and flew slowly towards the "Powerful"...
Its speed was not high, so that the speed of the surveillance team was always suppressed. They flew on the left and right sides like escorts, but in general, they still returned.
Miki Xingzhi also received the explanation message sent by Li Sujia, that is, too high speed will quickly consume the energy in the two mecha energy pools, and low speed can ensure the return.
An hour later, the spacecraft driven by Li Sujia returned smoothly. When it landed on the predetermined take-off and landing platform, Miki Xingyuki and a marine team had been waiting here for a long time.
Five minutes have passed, but the hatch of the space vehicle has not been opened. Even if Miki Xingyuki issued the most severe order, the hatch has not been opened.
In desperation, he had no choice but to order the Marines to launch a storm.
When the hatch was blown open and the Marines cautiously entered the cabin, they were shocked to find that there was no one inside the space vehicle.
The only valuable discovery was the frozen picture on the large communication screen in the cockpit. The picture was of Li Sujia, and the time displayed was the video connection between her and Captain Wesenk more than 4 hours ago.
The Marines discovered that the so-called video link footage was actually recorded in advance and then intelligently loaded and linked through the space vehicle's central control system.
This is why Li Sujia's answer made Wesenk angry.
The disappearance of Li Sujia, Zhou Yun and others left Miki Xingzhi puzzled...
He called up all the monitoring systems on the space vehicle that was returned from custody, and even read all the data in the central control system. Sure enough, he found that someone escaped from the space vehicle in a shuttle, but strangely Yes, the people who escaped were not Li Sujia and the two mechas.
It was actually Zhou Yun and Xiao Hang!
After comparing the time, Miki Xingzhi was surprised to find that Zhou Yun and Xiao Hang's escape actually happened before the pursuit troops attacked!
In other words, Li Sujia and the two mechas were not present in the space vehicle that was detained by heavy troops from beginning to end. What was taken back was just an unloaded space vehicle that was set in autopilot mode. .
Miki Xingzhi fell into confusion. He simply couldn't believe how Li Sujia, Zhou Yun and others managed to disappear without a trace under the heavy siege.
After reading the data of the pursuit force's airborne monitoring equipment and infrared equipment, Miki Xingzhi finally made a major discovery.
After Li Sujia and the pursuit force jointly launched a force attack on the space vehicle driven by Zhou Yun, three shuttles that opened the dark matter protective barrier flew out in the shock wave and debris of the explosion.
Using the cover of debris, they rushed out of the exploding fireball and flew into interstellar space in different directions.
Miki Xingzhi was a little annoyed, even a little regretful, but who would have noticed that a space vehicle that was turned into a fireball actually contained three small shuttles that flew out with the dark matter protective barrier activated?
Obviously, Li Sujia, the two mechas, Zhou Yun, and Xiao Hang escaped on those three shuttles. This was their only opportunity and time to escape.
Suddenly, Miki Xingzhi seemed to realize the problem: the space vehicle participating in the joint attack was most likely also empty! It was programmed to attack by Li Sujia.
He concluded that when Li Sujia requested a force strike against the space vehicle piloted by Zhou Yun, she was already on board the space vehicle.
"How did she do it?" This was the deep question in Miki Xingzhi's mind at this moment.
It turned out that Zhou Yun and Xiao Hang boarded the space vehicle driven by Li Sujia long before Wessenk dispatched the pursuit troops, and the space vehicle they "abandoned" only set the autopilot mode to continue flying.
In addition, the two also switched positions, that is, the unladen space vehicle with the autopilot mode set moved behind and became the pursuer.
The space vehicle that actually carried Li Sujia, the two mechas, Zhou Yun, and Xiao Hang maneuvered to the front, and it became the one being pursued.
It was on the space vehicle of the chased person that Li Sujia controlled everything remotely, with the purpose of successfully escaping with the help of the shock wave of the explosion and the cover of the body fragments.
What she and Zhou Yun wanted to do was to minimize the probability that the space vehicle they were on would be hit by several space missiles at the same time when the unloaded space vehicle and the pursuit force launched a joint attack.
According to the endurance of the shuttle with the dark matter protective barrier turned on, all of them would have a chance of survival if no more than two dark matter space missiles hit them at the same time.
Only then did the attacked spacecraft implement a series of evasive actions and self-defense measures. Fortunately, Zhou Yun’s superb driving skills and standardized and timely response measures allowed the spacecraft to be hit by only one dark matter missile. result.
This was a very ideal result, not only successfully covering the escape of the shuttle, but also causing almost no damage to the shuttle.
After the attack, the empty spacecraft returned automatically under the pressure of the surveillance team.
It has already been programmed to return home in advance by Li Sujia.
After reacting, Miki Xingzhi immediately thought of continuing the search and pursuit. He concluded that Li Sujia, Zhou Yun and others could not escape far with just three shuttles.
Although a full five hours had passed since they successfully escaped, according to the speed and range of the shuttle, even if five days had passed, he could easily catch up with them by sending only a space vehicle.
What's more, he didn't plan to send just one, but a complete search team.
This team includes a small electromagnetic detection spacecraft, a small life detection ship, 50 space vehicles and 20 heavily equipped combat flying mechas, as well as 100 marines and 200 small combat robots.
They will work together to ensure that Li Sujia, Zhou Yun and others are all captured.
According to Wesenk's order: those who refuse will be eliminated on the spot.
