Chapter 1475: Running wildly
When the fortress rose to a height of seven or eight kilometers, locusts had already swarmed over it.
Wu Zhen couldn't help but ask, "Boss?"
"Wait a moment," Qu Jianlei said calmly, but his eyes were fixed on the space above his head.
No one knew that before the sixteen starships took off, twenty-two starships in outer space launched an attack first.
There are still two starships in a group, but the two groups form a large group, for a total of five large groups.
There is also a small group of starships that serve as mobile support.
These twenty-two starships not only launched attacks in waves, but also rushed towards the dense encirclement.
This seemingly suicidal behavior angered the alien Lin Hai.
When the first group of four starships were about to touch the forest, they turned and escaped, attracting countless alien races to chase them.
Then another large group attacked, just like peeling bamboo shoots, peeling off one layer, then another layer.
After peeling off three layers, the front was quite empty. The fourth group went directly deeper than 8 million kilometers before starting to escape.
The fifth group... continued to go deeper by more than 10 million kilometers, and then escaped again.
At this point, a channel was created in the encirclement that was 30 million kilometers thick.
Seeing this, the nearby alien races tended to come to help - after all, there was a gap here.
However, the reinforcements did not come quickly. Although they were of the same ethnic group, they still had a strong sense of territorial awareness.
Moreover, they have entered the stage of "slow digestion" for this planet, so there is no need to pay too high a price.
But even so, the channel tends to gradually shrink.
At this moment, Qu Jianlei in the fortress spoke up, "Turn on the electromagnetic belt!"
The effective power of the electromagnetic belt attacking from the ground to space can reach 7,000 to 8,000 kilometers, and it will be less effective at any distance.
Dazzling beams of light rose again all around, and the locusts that continued to fly over were hit one after another and could no longer get close to the mobile fortress.
Wu Zhen did not wait for Qu Jianlei to give the order and made a decisive decision, "Laser weapons full-scale attack!"
The main target of attack at this time was the locusts that were sticking close to the fortress - now they had almost covered the entire outer wall of the fortress.
These locusts cause great damage to the protective shield. I have endured it until now, and now I don’t have to endure it anymore!
The locusts outside the fortress were suddenly attacked and fell down with a crackling sound.
Seeing that the situation was not good, some locusts subconsciously wanted to hide, but unfortunately, there was an electromagnetic belt blocking them on the outside.
Before long, the locusts outside the fortress were almost all wiped out.
At the same time, the speed of the fortress finally increased, and it rushed upwards desperately.
This is the most critical moment. Whether we can break out of the siege depends on the next 30 million kilometers of sprint.
At this moment, countless people's eyes were fixed on the screen, "Faster, faster, faster!"
Unfortunately, however, the speed of the fortress is really average, which is the level of an ordinary cargo starship, and it cannot catch up with an ordinary warship.
The original purpose of a war fortress was to provide fixed firepower support, and it was not known for its speed.
Such a loud commotion attracted the attention of other shelters. Some people were confused, some were shocked, and of course some were cursing.
At one time, Bacon Shelter received many communication requests.
At this point, there was no point in blocking communications, so a special operator took over the conversation.
Most of them came to inquire about the situation, and many people complained that Bacon Shelter should have notified them in advance.
It was too late to say all this at this point, and the operator didn't argue with them, but just said that our escape plan was very dangerous.
Who doesn't know that the danger is great? But at least there is some hope, right?
Higgins' communication also came in, and he had realized that the military factory had secretly completed the fortress project.
He made a firm request to the other side, asking Wu Zhen to talk to him.
But Wu Zhen had anticipated this and informed the operator in advance not to notify me of anyone's communications.
Higgins' request was politely rejected. He was so angry that he started cursing and demanded that the fortress turn back immediately to support the headquarters' evacuation.
He emphasized very solemnly, this is a military order! This is a military order!! This is a military order!!!
However, the operator said that the vast majority of people in the fortress are ordinary people. Sorry, we can't force them to join the battle!
He originally wanted to just get the matter over with. After all, they had already escaped here and their lives were uncertain, so there was no need to worry about these things.
But Higgins' tone became tougher and tougher, and finally he even threatened to enforce military law.
The operator was really annoyed and couldn't help but say something back.
"We risked our lives to explore a route of escape and to test the entire alliance, but we never expected that we might die at the hands of our own people!"
The shelter where the headquarters was located was equipped with ground-based railguns, so it would not be difficult to destroy the escape fortress.
Especially since the fortress is rising straight up, its trajectory is easy to judge.
But in the end, the railgun did not fire.
But the alien Lin Hai roaming in space finally discovered the escaped fortress, and sparse black lines began to shoot out.
Qu Jianlei took over the command center without hesitation, which was also agreed with Wu Zhen before.
Wu Zhen doubted his command ability. There really weren't too many soldiers with rich experience in space combat in the military factory.
But there was no way, this was a prerequisite agreed upon in advance, and if he didn't agree, others would not accept the task.
In the words of Qu Jianlei, "No one knows more about space warfare than me!"
Finally, Wu Zhen realized that the other party's companions... seemed to think that this was a matter of course?
Then it can be confirmed that the other party’s command level...at least not too bad.
Qu Jianlei took over the command center, but it was not convenient to expose the big-headed butterfly.
Finally, he and Xiao Hu were able to communicate without any hindrance and quickly issued instructions one after another.
The reaction speed was somewhat slower after switching hands like this, but it was the best choice he could make.
Wu Zhen watched his command throughout the whole process, and his mentality changed from suspicion to astonishment, and finally to endless admiration.
"How many space battles have you participated in? Which unit of the Alliance are you from?"
There is no doubt that such elites can only come from the most elite troops in the alliance.
Qu Jianlei didn't even have the interest to look at him. The huge space fortress had to concentrate fully in order to avoid the black line.
As for fighting back? I would never dare to do that. It would be courting death.
If it was a real war fortress, it wouldn't be so embarrassing.
But the problem is...both offense and defense are weak points, especially the offensive power, which is really too poor.
However, even though Qu Jianlei was fully focused on commanding, the fortress was inevitably hit.
This is not really his problem, but the reality.
Not to mention that he was in command, even if Xiao Hu took control personally, it would be of no avail - the worst that could happen would be that a few black lines would be avoided.
But fortunately, after all, it was built as a war fortress, so no matter how poor the defense is, it is not that bad.
Bastion continued to run for his life despite the attack from the black line, as if he was determined to get out even at the risk of his life.
The surrounding forests noticed its purpose and rushed over from all directions, trying to fill the position.
At this time, they no longer care that it is the territory of their own kind. Letting food escape is intolerable.
But even so, their territorial awareness means that they cannot fill in the positions in a timely manner and their numbers are not large.
But Bastion would never fight back. Faced with the trees in front of him, he would rather crash into them and knock them away, then continue to escape for his life.
When the fortress rushed out ten million kilometers, the forest in front began to become sparse.
But the entire fortress was in tatters and looked like it would collapse at any time.
The fortress is now surrounded by forests from top to bottom and faces attacks from all directions.
However, after being attacked by so many black lines, it was still able to continue running wildly, which even surprised the alien Lin Hai.
From the frequency of attacks, it can be seen that the black lines emitted by Lin Hai are actually getting fewer and fewer.
This is related to the fact that the fortress did not fight back - the hatred is not that strong. The key is that the alien Lin Hai believes that it may collapse at any time.
If this is the case, why consume so much energy?
However, after the fortress had run 20 million kilometers, it still did not collapse.
By this time, they were already outside the encirclement and the people on the ship began to relax.
Fighting back is still impossible. Although the aliens ahead are scattered, once hatred is aroused, the consequences will be too terrible.
After running another two or three million kilometers, the alien forests ahead became increasingly smaller.
However, locusts began to appear, blocking all attack directions of the fortress.
Wu Zhen glanced at the calm guy beside him and really wanted to ask a question - "Are you still not attacking?"
Qu Jianlei seemed to sense his emotions and glanced at him sideways, "You have to be patient."
Suddenly, two starships appeared four or five million kilometers ahead. After frantically attacking Lin Hai, they fled sideways.
Then two more starships appeared, and the same operation was used, attracting some hatred and leaving.
Seeing this, Wu Zhen couldn't help but ask, "How many starships have you prepared?"
The observation equipment in the shelter was not bad. When taking off, he noticed that there were sixteen starships helping to attract firepower.
And the total number of starships he provided was only twelve.
The starship that appeared in front now was obviously there to help our side break out.
Qu Jianlei then looked at him and let out a long sigh, "We found someone else's warehouse next to yours."
Upon hearing this, Wu Zhen opened his mouth in astonishment, "There's actually a starship inside?"
He didn't think there was anything wrong with the other party misappropriating the operation of the starship - in wartime, if you want to survive, you must do whatever it takes.
The problem is, in that relatively safe place, someone actually left resources idle?
This is really unbelievable.
Qu Jianlei replied calmly, "So you guys are lucky. If you only rely on those twelve starships, it would be difficult."
"Indeed," Wu Zhen nodded after hearing this, "So now... can we abandon the shell?"
Everyone's mood gradually relaxed, and there was a reason for that, because the dilapidated state of the fortress was just an appearance.
