The moment Milo saw the text on the screen, the fur that had been lying flat on his body instantly stood up!

Like a hedgehog with its feathers standing on end, Milo's originally round body had grown even bigger.

"No, it can't be, this can't be..."

Milo's eyes were glazed over as he murmured softly.

Seeing this, Malen's heart tightened, and he quickly stepped forward to push aside the stunned Milo, looking at the not-so-large screen.

Like Milo, Malen was also furious.

"Two...two..."

The two scientists' performance immediately triggered the highest alarm in Leader Aldan's mind.

He quickly moved his short legs to their side and turned his gaze to the screen.

……can't read.

Looking at the dense data and lines on the screen, Aldan felt a deep sense of powerlessness and confusion welling up inside him.

"Two what?!"

It tugged at Maren and asked loudly.

"Two..." Maren, slightly regaining his senses, swallowed hard and murmured in horror, "Two planets are missing!"

Before Aldan could react, Milo let out a sharp scream.

"Same as last time!"

"The new star system is missing two planets!"

"[Zanka], have you really abandoned us?!"

Milo collapsed onto the cold deck, screaming in utter despair.

From their brief exchange, Ardan gradually came to understand the truth.

It remained silent for a long time, then stretched out its paw and pulled the two limp balls off the ground.

"Find the next star system!"

Ardan's eyes were bloodshot, and he said somewhat frantically, "Didn't you say that this star field has hundreds or thousands of star systems?!"

"I refuse to believe we can't find a safe star system!"

"Before that damned intruder catches up, let's hurry..."

The muffled alarm sounded again, interrupting Aldan's words.

This time, however, the dull, alarming sound was not in the laboratory, but throughout the entire flagship!

...

Aldan, controlling the power assist device to glide quickly to the command center, looked at the crew member next to him with an extremely solemn expression.

Beside him, Maren held a fluffy ball of fur and landed steadily on the deck.

"Thank you, thank you."

After a smooth landing, Milo quickly expressed his gratitude to his companions.

"Chief, an unidentified fleet has been spotted to the right rear of the fleet."

"Based on the size and speed of the fleet, it can be basically determined that it is a pursuit fleet sent by the invaders."

The crew member said solemnly, "The fleet has begun to accelerate."

"But this will consume a lot of additional energy, and our current energy reserves..."

"It may not be able to sustain us to reach our new destination."

Aldan's eyes grew increasingly gloomy: "Changing the escape destination again."

"Two more planets disappeared at the previous destination."

Good fortune never comes in pairs, but misfortunes never come singly.

This string of bad news is hard for anyone to accept!

Especially during this high-pressure escape, in the vast universe, without any support, and with supplies dwindling, everyone's emotions are like taut strings, ready to snap at the slightest misstep!

For the Talodans, who have always lived on their home planet and cherish peace, this psychological blow is even more devastating.

They have never experienced such a high-pressure environment, nor do they have a solution for dealing with it!

“【Zanka】ah…”

Sure enough, a crew member cried out in despair: "Save your poor people!!"

The crew member's screams were like a fuse for an explosive, instantly igniting the negative emotions within all the crew members.

"Chief, let's... let's turn around and fight them!"

Another crew member, his eyes red and seemingly frantic, shouted, "We have no way out, so why don't we..."

"Nonsense!" Ardan roared. "Everyone, be quiet!"

"We haven't reached a truly hopeless situation yet, so everyone cheer up!"

"Please believe me, everyone. Last time I was able to lead you all to escape, and this time, I can lead our civilization to survive just as well!"

The leader Aldan's shout temporarily calmed the army's morale.

The cries of agony and despair inside the command center quickly subsided.

"Milo, go and select the next target star system for the fleet," Aldan ordered in a deep voice without any hesitation.

"Maren, estimate the fleet's fuel situation after acceleration, and assist Milo in selecting star systems based on the range of travel."

"yes!"

Milo and Malen responded in unison.

...

It is located 4.2 light-years from the Kepler-452 star system.

A spherical probe streaks across the vast universe at a speed of 0.5c.

Its antimatter engine at the rear is working at full capacity, spewing out incredibly intense gamma rays.

It is part of the human civilization's star system surveillance network.

Currently, thanks to the efforts of human civilization, this surveillance network has been extended to a region 5 light-years outside of star systems.

Such a vast area means that the alert density will not be too high.

A single detector is often responsible for the detection and surveillance of a large area.

As usual, the spherical probe carried out its exploration mission along the planned route.

This should have been a tedious and boring task, at least for the past six months.

"Beep beep beep..."
