Tens of thousands of miles away from the frontline outpost, a composite fleet was slowly approaching.

Including supply ships, reconnaissance ships, transport ships, and main battle assault ships.

This fleet set off from Nemesis 216 and sailed at full speed for half a year before arriving at its destination.

"It should be the reinforcements invited by Professor Taylor."

A middle-aged man in military uniform with a medium build leaned back on the chair and sighed, "I can finally sleep peacefully."

Due to problems in the social system, frontline defenders have always been ignored. For a long time in the past, due to a serious shortage of garrison strength, criminals had to be attracted to serve here at the expense of reduced sentences.

"Fortunately, when the Zerg attacked, some troops completed the installation of new weapons."

The general couldn't help but shudder when he recalled the tragedy that had happened at the forward post. He had just taken over this position not long ago, and he thought he would be able to live leisurely until retirement.

As a result, the Zerg, which had been silent for so long and had become a legend, suddenly appeared and became active.

In fact, after the first attack, more than a dozen meteorites filled with Zerg spores appeared one after another. They suddenly changed directions and flew in from unknown deep space.

Fortunately, they were all intercepted by the missile system, otherwise, the garrison would have been wiped out.

"Report to the general, the fleet has identified itself and is led by Professor Taylor, New World Bank, and Luo Che Biology."

Professor Taylor is the main person in charge of the first link of the plan. He has many highly talented escapees under his command, so the general naturally knows the other party.

The New World Bank is an interstellar enterprise with a history of thousands of years. No matter how little information is available, people have heard of the other party's name.

The only exception is Roche Biotech.

In just a few months, it has blossomed on multiple fronts and grown dramatically. Although it is well-known among investors, the front line, which is almost isolated from the outside world, is different. No one has heard of it at all and has no intention to pay attention to it. .

"The radar shows that this fleet consists of eleven spaceships." As he spoke, the intelligence officer sitting next to the general quickly tapped on the screen, and the distant viewing equipment captured the slowing down fleet.

New World Bank.

Institute of Genetics and Life.

"Does this strange symbol represent Luo's creatures?"

Looking at the badge engraved on the main battleship, the intelligence officer sighed with unknown meaning, "I'm going to check this company."

Not long after, all kinds of information about Luo's biology was gathered in the command room, either positive or negative, giving everyone a clear understanding of it.

A frontline outpost on an ancient planet.

According to legend, the mothership that originally carried human embryos docked here for a period of time and was the Nemesis 1 in the true sense.

Lu Li, who had been in the cabin for nearly six months, could not help but smile as he watched the planet in his sight continue to expand through the porthole window.

Deep space navigation is indeed full of dullness and tedium. Many crew members responsible for combat positions cannot bear the loneliness and apply to enter the cryo-sleep system.

This thing is a necessary equipment for long-distance navigation. Once turned on, life activities can be almost suspended.

However, Lu Li did not do this. He had a strong vitality and hated going into cryo-sleep state. The same was true for Celine and Luo Yi. They had long lifespans and there was no need to enter the sleep cabin.

"Is everyone awake?" Lu Li glanced behind him.

"Everyone is awake and taking nutritional supplements."

After six months of getting along day and night, Miss Celine is no longer so reserved and has learned to keep respect in her heart rather than in words.

As for those crew members who wake up, they need to eat some liquid food to make up for the loss of water and awaken some body functions.

"I hope the frontline outpost has some decent food." Lu Li sighed again.

After eating fresh vegetables and meat, I could only eat toast with various jams, and then only energy bars and nutritional solutions were left.

The former is slightly sweet, while the latter is bland and tasteless.

"Let the medical team collect everyone's physical data and count how many crew members are able to participate in the battle at any time."

"Let's ask the supply ship how much food they have in stock."

"We have to find a way to mobilize some resources."

After suppressing the distracting thoughts in his mind, Lu Li explained the things he should pay attention to one by one, and Xilin was also happy to act as his secretary.

As for the intelligent assistance system.

It and its pilots are working hard to prepare for the landing.

It is worth mentioning that this military planet does not have an airport, because doing so can avoid possible malicious attacks.

The most important thing is that each spacecraft can theoretically take off and land vertically, and fly in interstellar space and the atmosphere by switching modes.

"The driving state will be switched soon."

"Attention all ship members and departments, be careful of shaking."

Amidst the mechanical beeps, one could feel the ship's hull shaking slightly. Lu Li looked down at the planet in front of him through the miniature porthole.

From space, it appears earthy-yellow, with occasional touches of green scattered about.

It can be seen that its forest coverage rate is low. If it were not for the existence of the atmosphere modification device, it would not even be called a habitable planet, let alone a garrison.

At this time, Celine came back and brought over the statistical data and the air composition table.

The oxygen content is slightly lower and unknown elements are not present…

All in all, it can be lived in, but the conditions are very difficult. If given the choice, no one would want to come here to garrison.

"It is recorded in the family information that thousands of years ago, after the mothership broke through the Zerg blockade, the immigrated humans chose to settle here because this planet contains a large amount of metal mineral deposits, which can allow technological civilization to develop rapidly."

Ms. Celine had done enough homework in advance and said: "It can be said that the technology used in the Nemesis Galaxy today was originally born on this planet, especially in terms of weapons and food synthesis."

Unfortunately, the development of human civilization has always been based on external expansion. As time went by, this once glorious planet gradually became desolate, and eventually only the defenders remained.

"There are only four thousand defenders left, stationed on a planet. The so-called frontline outposts are actually satellites flying around it."

Frankly speaking, Lu Li was skeptical about the combat effectiveness of this army, as well as the discipline aspect.

Information collected during this period showed that half of the defenders had criminal records, and most were serious criminals.

"You can't say that. Some soldiers offended important figures and were deprived of their freedom after being framed."

"In order to prove their innocence and gain a chance to regain their freedom, they chose to serve here."

Captain Luo Yi came over.

This guy is still wearing sunglasses, no matter what. Although the golden pupils that were passively lit by the injection of cologne serum have long been extinguished, he has adapted to his current look and does not want to change again.

"You'll be able to see it with your own eyes later."

Luo Yi's words, as well as the fighting power and fighting will that the defenders unleashed when the Zerg attacked the outpost, gave Lu Li a sense of expectation.
