Five days have passed since the first armistice negotiations. A large number of Lightyear Chariots split into two directions and finally retreated. The landing base, which was originally the size of a city, is now a bare land with 270,000 prisoners standing on it.
There were already several landing ships waiting in the sky. As soon as the light years passed, they immediately landed and unfolded. At the same time, a large number of ambulances and engineering vehicles drove out from inside, and engineers flew around like bees. came out and quickly built a large temporary barracks.
A total of 270,000 people, that's a huge crowd. Their armor can only hold on for less than 24 hours, so the Federation now has to race against time to provide them with accommodation, food, and treatment and rescue. Suddenly there is a panic.
Crassus was walking casually in the base. There was no mark on his armor, so no one noticed him in the hustle and bustle. A team rushing to carry a stretcher asked him to give way.
Crassus suddenly stopped, looked at his feet, and took his right foot back. There was a deep hole the size of a fist on the ground, 2 meters deep, and then there was another one not too far away, each one lined up in a straight line.
The ground was made of prefabricated concrete blocks, and the deep holes were originally used for fixing bolts. Crassus put his finger in to explore, and the lines were still clearly distinguishable. He then explored several more small holes, and the same was true. Crassus stood up and patted the dust on his hands, wondering what he was thinking.
Hathaway appeared behind him and said hello.
Crassus called the little princess over and asked her to look at these holes. Hathaway also knew about grassroots military affairs and knew that this was a way to quickly set up camp in a long-term base in the wild, but she didn't know why Crassus wanted her to see this.
Crassus did not show off, saying: "The 2-meter-long fixing screws are screwed down in circles. This is meticulous demolition, not violent destruction. This is a camp that can hold 500,000 people. It can be placed anywhere. This is a big city. It only took 5 days to demolish it so cleanly. How many people did light years mobilize? If we can demolish one of our cities in 5 days, we can also rebuild one in 15 days. That Chu Jun Gui now has more than 20 landing ships, so it seems to be very easy to build another base."
The little princess also said: "His war potential has risen."
Crassus looked around. There were federal soldiers queuing up everywhere, waiting for resettlement, and said: "Now that he has released 270,000 people, the second step of negotiations can begin. I think it will only be in three days. There is no need to delay." If you have nothing to do, go and inform them of the time and place for the negotiation."
Hathaway was really stunned for a moment. Normally, for this kind of thing, just send a mid-level officer, and at most a colonel is enough. Although her military rank is only a major general, she actually commands hundreds of thousands of pirate flags, and she is an out-and-out central core layer. If she were captured, it would definitely be a big deal. Under normal circumstances, if Crassus asked her to deliver a message, it would be like asking her to die.
Crassus pointed around and said: "Chu Jungui's understanding of the release of prisoners of war this time is very good. It must be because you have reminded him, right? So I let you go this time, just to tell him in advance about our side." There are unspoken rules, so there can be less misunderstandings between each other in the future."
The little princess asked: "What do you want me to say to him?"
Crassus smiled and said, "You can say whatever you want! It's okay even if you show him these."
Crassus sent a document. Hathaway looked at it and was surprised: "The minutes of the War Council?"
"Well, the part related to N77."
"...I understand." Hathaway put the documents away, turned and left. After a moment, a blue fighter jet took off and flew away quickly close to the ground.
As soon as the fighter plane moved, Chu Jungui, who was nearly ten thousand kilometers away, knew it. But looking at the direction of the fighter plane, it was heading towards the forward base of Light Year.
This base is more than 3,000 kilometers away from the federal landing base and 1,500 kilometers away from the federal forward base. It was originally a springboard for Lightyear to attack the federal landing base, but now it is a transfer station for returning prisoners. Hundreds of thousands of federal prisoners of war will be gathered here, reorganized, and then transferred to the federation in batches. Therefore, not only was this temporary base not abandoned, but it also expanded rapidly several times in size, even larger than the federal landing base.
However, there are no landing ships deployed in the temporary base. They are all temporary buildings. Anyway, Lightyear has no shortage of materials now. There are millions of tons of construction materials every day, and the production capacity is still increasing.
This temporary base is currently managed by Lin Xi and Li Xinyi. The genius girl relies on her thinking, and her need for computing power is not that strong. Therefore, the arrival of two Arks full of biological masterminds satisfied most of the girl's needs. The few projects that require a lot of computing power are less urgent.
The temporary base is also the base for daily communication between Lightyear and the Federation, so after the fighter jets took off, they went straight to the temporary base.
When Chu Jun returned, it was like a basin of cold water was poured on his head, making him feel cold all over his body!
This feeling of impending disaster came so suddenly, yet so violently, it was simply unavoidable. Only now did Chu Jungui realize that he had actually had a premonition for a long time, but he just didn't understand where the premonition came from. Armistice negotiations were imminent. It was the critical moment for him and the Federation to show their sincerity to each other. Chu Jungui had to fight with Crasu on one side. , while commanding the battle to land at the base, even the test subject's body temperature soared, and the armor's cooling system almost couldn't hold it down. So Chu Jungui ignored this premonition at that time. It was only now when he saw the blue fighter plane taking off that he had a clear premonition of impending disaster.
At a glance, the blue fighter plane was immediately known to be Hathaway's car. She once drove over and beat Li Xuancheng half to death, leaving a strong middle finger in the end.
But what Chu Jungui didn't understand was why he felt such a strong sense of crisis when Hathaway went to a temporary base? Could it be that she brought something stronger than antimatter? Unstable space or artificial black hole?
There was no use in thinking wildly. Chu Jungui immediately put down what he was doing and went straight to a fighter plane that had just come off the production line. This fighter jet has just been assembled and has not had time to be tested. Even the control system is not fully installed.
Several Lightyear warriors pushed the half-finished fighter plane to the take-off and landing field. Li Xuancheng was about to sit in the cabin when his lower back suddenly tightened, and then he soared into the air like a cloud. He was caught by Chu Jungui and thrown to the ground for dozens of people. meters away.
As soon as they got into the cabin, the fighter jet started immediately, shaking off the ground and taking off. Then the three engines spurted out faint flames, and the fighter jet suddenly accelerated and roared away.
"Wait..." Li Xuancheng shouted, but the fighter plane was already piercing the clouds. But then he saw a black shadow falling from the sky and hitting the ground with a thud. It turned out to be an engine from the fighter plane.
Looking at the engine that was still spitting fire and scurrying back and forth, Li Xuancheng's mouth slowly opened wide, and then he looked at the sky where there was no trace of it, and subconsciously said: "You can't fall to death... right?"
This fighter plane is completely a prototype. It was pulled out this time for static testing. It was just to try out the control system and was not intended to take off at all. In order to facilitate disassembly, only a small part of the fighter's engine was fixed. As a result, Chu Jungui left in a hurry, and the engine fell off just after he got into the sky.
At this moment, the fighter plane was flying quickly against the storm clouds. What was strange was that there was a person crawling on the back of the fighter plane. Chu Jungui fixed his body with his feet and was strengthening the remaining two engines.
Now the main base in Light Year is 7,100 kilometers away from the forward base. Another engine of Chu Jungui's fighter plane has been lost. Only two-thirds of the fuselage structure is fixed. It will definitely fall apart when flying at full speed. No matter how it flies to the forward base, it will still need one. Many hours later. Fortunately, the main energy source of the fighter is a light-year power furnace. One furnace of fuel is enough to fly dozens of times around the planet, so there is no need to worry about getting stuck halfway.
But Hathaway's fighter plane is an advanced federal fighter plane, and it only takes ten minutes to fly to the Lightyear Forward base. Before Chu Jungui arrived, she would have at least an hour of free time.
One hour……
When Chu Jungui thought of this, his eyes darkened.
If she were left here for five minutes, the earth would collapse, and if she stayed there for an hour... wouldn't that mean the earth's core would condense and the planet would disintegrate?
Lightyear advanced to the base, and the blue fighter plane was already parked on the tarmac. Several Lightyear officers were surrounding Hathaway, so enthusiastic that they almost wanted to sign autographs.
They were all former Union troops, and one of them had served in the Jolly Roger. However, he was not in the group that was captured with Heather at that time, so in terms of seniority within light years, he had to sit back. Many of these original federal officers were admirers of the little princess, so when the little princess suddenly visited, they were supposed to be under strict supervision, but in the end they almost turned into a star-chasing scene.
In fact, Hathaway's popularity in the federal army is no worse than those stars in recruitment advertisements over the years, and her reputation among the officers and aristocracy is far beyond that of a small star.
Lin Xi had already received the news and rushed over. Li Xinyi naturally wanted to follow her. Her little face was so angry that she wanted to jump directly in front of the little goblin. How could she have the patience to walk over slowly?
In the words of the girl, it means that the enemy has come to provoke her. If she doesn't push her to the ground and ravage her, how will she stand in the deep space of the universe in the future?
The girl was gearing up, but Lin Xi could still remain calm, but her pace unknowingly accelerated a little.
Li Xinyi suddenly remembered something and lowered her voice and said, "She doesn't know we are here. She must have come to see Jun Gui. I heard that the relationship between them was very close when they were in the Federation!"
"Who Jun Gui associates with is his business." Lin Xi said this, but his pace quickened a little.
When they arrived at the tarmac, they saw more than a dozen Lightyear officers standing in a row, taking photos with the little princess in the middle, and they also changed several poses, making it a joyful scene.
Seeing Li Xinyi and Lin Xi appear, these officers dispersed in a hurry. There was a group of people outside who were obviously waiting for the next group of photos. They looked regretful and kept lamenting.
Lin Xi and Li Xinyi came to Hathaway. The three girls stood at the three vertices of a triangle. Lin Xi first extended his hand, but Hathaway did not respond. Instead, he looked at Li Xinyi and then at Lin Xi, thoughtfully.
On the tarmac, the air suddenly became a little solid.
