At this moment, the starry sky is quiet, vast and deep. Lihua looked at the star map crazily. Several times, she seemed to have seen enemy warships appear in groups from the deep space, and then launched a crazy attack on her own side.
But...it's just an illusion every time.
There is only the last hour left.
last hour.
If his promise goes bankrupt, the expedition fleet, which has been suppressed to its limit, will immediately explode and collapse.
"Impossible, impossible, there are thousands of warships, how is it possible that every captain can withstand this temptation... Even a large third-level civilization with a population of hundreds of billions, it is impossible to deploy Thousands of people with such strategic vision and determination come...this is impossible..."
But the reality clearly told her that the enemy had indeed done it.
A flash of despair emerged from her heart.
She stood up slowly, stretched out several tentacles, opened the sideboard, and took out various exquisite tableware.
These tableware were what she used in the past when she ate those who disobeyed her orders. Among them are table knives that shine with silver light, dinner plates that are as clear as jade, restraint belts, and a console with a bloodletting tank...
But now, there is no one here except her.
She placed the tableware one by one, her movements gentle and smooth, as if she was completing some ritual.
At this moment, there is still half an hour left.
After finishing placing the tableware, she turned on the communication station. The next moment, her voice once again reached the ears of every soldier and commander.
"I have received accurate intelligence. The enemy will definitely launch a full-scale counterattack against us within half an hour. Now, I order everyone to be on alert and enter the highest alert state, ready to counterattack at any time!"
Her voice was full of coldness and control over everything, fully demonstrating her confidence, as if she had everything under control. However, after she forced herself to say this, her body fell limply to the ground.
On the contrary, after hearing Lihua's conclusive words, the soldiers' emotions immediately stabilized, and some undercurrents quietly disappeared.
"call……"
After destroying an automatic turret and collecting a metal box, Li Heng let out a long sigh.
The desire in his heart is still surging, but Li Heng has learned to ignore it. It's like that deliciously tempting enemy mothership never existed. He didn't even bother to look at it anymore and just focused on how to destroy spy satellites, armed turrets, mines and the like more efficiently.
At the same time, he was also convinced that his comrades had made the same choice as him.
Everyone is suppressing their desires, everyone has made the most prudent and safest choice, everyone has given up on the idea of finishing the battle in one battle, and has chosen to slowly "wear" the enemy to death.
So for Lihua, the last half hour was spent in peace.
Looking at the still quiet and vast star map, looking at the countdown that had reached zero, the last bit of hope in Lihua's heart disappeared.
All over the mothership, the tension has reached the extreme. The soldiers are always ready to attack and launch counterattacks. After the countdown reaches zero, looking at the still calm space, a little doubt emerges in their hearts.
Something seems wrong.
Where is the enemy?
…
In the office where Lihua was the only one, she glanced at the work table with all kinds of exquisite tableware. The corner of Lihua's mouth twitched, she slowly moved her body and lay down on it.
"How many intelligent beings have I eaten in my life? 19536 or 19537? 85 or 84 types? I can't remember. I have eaten so many kinds of people, but I have never eaten people of my own race. I don’t know what it smells like…”
"Let's have a taste today."
Dozens of tentacles were waving, and he picked up a knife, saw, dinner plate, etc., and slashed his body, cutting off a large piece of meat.
Lihua groaned, ignoring the blood that was flowing rapidly along the blood groove, and put the piece of meat into her mouth with another tentacle.
After savoring it carefully for a moment, Lihua exclaimed: "It turns out this tastes...it's actually pretty good."
…
After a moment of confusion, some people finally started to ask their superiors. And obviously, their upgrade didn't know what happened.
Captain Lihua is obviously so confident and confident...why is it that the time has come and yet nothing has happened?
The problem finally came to a few high-level officials. These senior executives finally decided to ask Lihua.
But surprisingly, although the call was connected, there was no reply. It seems that Lihua is not there.
At this moment, the aura of anxiety permeating the space carrier has become increasingly intense. The soldiers, whether human or sub-human, were all whispering to each other.
These senior executives finally united and forced open Lihua's office. Then they saw an astonishing scene.
Lihua was lying on the console she used to eat people, now lifeless. In particular, her chest was opened, and an extremely important organ that drove blood flow was also removed, and somehow it got into her mouth.
Valley
In that big ugly mouth, the remains of the heart can still be vaguely seen.
"Who, who killed the leader!"
One senior executive lost his temper and yelled, while the other senior executive looked at the slightly perverted smile on Lihua's face, and his whole body was trembling.
"Yes, it was the leader himself who ate himself..."
After confirming that Captain Lihua had committed suicide, confirming that her previous so-called words were just lies, and confirming that the last hope had been lost, the anxious atmosphere permeating the space carrier could no longer be suppressed, but quickly turned into violence.
At this moment, everyone seemed to be roaring, and everyone seemed to be going crazy. Some people were beating around with weapons, some were holding each other, biting and rolling around, some were sitting in a daze, not even reacting to being hit on the head with an iron rod, some were jumping into combat spaceships and fleeing madly towards the depths of space, some were detonating some Ammunition Depot……
It was chaos, with no order at all, like hell descending.
Anyway, there is no hope, anyway, we are already desperate, anyway, we are going to die in the end, so, then, let’s vent, let’s go crazy...
This scene in Li Heng's eyes made him a little more doubtful again.
He could clearly see that something was happening in the space carrier at this moment. This seemed to mean a chaos engulfed the entire mothership.
It seems impossible that this is fake. It seems... really in chaos.
But out of caution, Li Heng still chose to stay put. The comrades obviously made the same choice and were still just lurking in the periphery, constantly wandering, hiding, and constantly harassing.
After some time, the chaos in the mothership seemed to have subsided. Under Li Heng's gaze, the mothership adjusted its posture and began to slow down, as if preparing for its subsequent return.
"This may be a conspiracy." Li Heng said, "Don't worry about it, we will fight our own."
Still lurking, hiding, and wandering.
At this moment, there is no more combat spacecraft around the mothership. The almost ubiquitous interstellar mines, automatic turrets, reconnaissance and armed satellites, etc., were almost completely cleared due to the unremitting efforts of the comrades. And, no new ones were added.
At this moment, the human side can come very close to the mothership without any pressure.
But Li Heng and his comrades are still lurking, hiding, and wandering.
Under the constant harassment and attack, the space carrier quickly became dilapidated, and there were even several huge damages that could be clearly detected from hundreds of thousands of kilometers away.
This is even less likely to be false.
It seems that with just a little more force, it can be easily occupied.
But Li Heng and his comrades are still lurking, hiding, and wandering.
At this moment, inside the space carrier, there is a joint meeting of various countries of the expeditionary force.
After Lihua's death, the highest-ranking officers from each country who were still alive, as well as some senior officials of the Blood Pirates, formed this meeting and obtained the highest authority of the expeditionary force.
At this moment, more than a dozen intelligent beings of different shapes and sizes wearing spacesuits were cursing crazily and beating the walls or tables angrily.
"Give me a good time! If you want to kill us, hurry up. What's the point of doing this!"
"Damn humans, what do you want?! If you want this mothership, come and get it! If you don't want it, let us go!"
"You don't want the mothership, you don't want to kill us, and you won't let us go. What on earth do you want to do?!"
At this moment, the spirits of the participants in the joint meeting had almost collapsed.
They really don't understand what those humans want to do.
"I know, they want supplies! They must want supplies! I propose that we keep the supplies we need and give the rest to them!"
"Isn't it just money to buy your life? Give it to them!"
"Kill some people, and our material consumption can be reduced a little."
"Try it!"
A message with a text dictionary began to be broadcast with the space carrier as the center of the sphere. After entering the computer of Li Heng's spacecraft, it was quickly deciphered into human text.
"We give all these supplies to you and pray that you can let us go."
Li Heng looked at this text and the large metal boxes that came out of the mothership - there were at least millions of them, and the total mass may be as high as tens of millions of tons, and he fell into deep thought.
"This is a conspiracy, it must be a conspiracy!" Li Heng immediately made a judgment: "Ignore those metal boxes, let's continue to fight ours! Pay attention to concealment and maneuver!"
The space is still quiet, as if those enemies don't exist here at all. They didn't even touch the metal boxes.
However, the harassing attacks that almost caused psychological shadow to the people in this mothership continued without stopping at all.
The participants of the joint meeting finally collapsed at this moment.
