Chapter 92 Bait
◎Come on, you've been strengthened◎
"Yeah, that's really...great." Qin Shu's eyes flashed with a dark light, and she responded softly.
Lu Yishen seemed to have noticed something, and the ends of his eyebrows raised slightly. Then, he didn't know what he was thinking of, but he smiled slightly and didn't seem to want to say anything from beginning to end.
Only Xu Wen, an honest man, was a little surprised after noticing the little actions of Qin Shu and Lu Yishen. But seeing that Qin Shu and the others had no intention of explaining, he could only take another look at the two of them out of curiosity.
However, although Xu Wen didn't know why Qin Shu and the others showed such expressions, he was still rational and knew that these questions should not be asked in front of Gu Jue, so in the end he chose to remain silent.
Moreover, Xu Wen had a very strange feeling. He always felt that things would develop to this point as if it had been destined. He seemed to be the person in charge of the whole thing, but he was always being swept forward by an invisible force.
But now, Xu Wen really didn't have the leisure to think about all this. Although he didn't like to act on intuition, but -
Xu Wen tilted his head to glance at Qin Shu, whose back was straight, and sighed slowly in his heart. Forget it, let it be. It’s not a bad idea to trust your intuition once.
…
As time went on, more and more troops began to gather here. The entire planet was filled with enemies. Even the sky began to be covered with a thick layer of dark clouds. Purple-gold lightning flickered in the clouds, and thunder flashed from time to time, making the already solemn atmosphere even more tense.
"Here they come." Qin Shu didn't know how much time had passed, but when the raindrops fell, she finally heard the voice of the commander on the front line.
Qin Shu suddenly looked up at the sky. The rain fell to the ground like beads from a broken string. The thick clouds seemed to be rolled up by something, and the air flow surged, constantly receding.
Even though the naked eye couldn't see it clearly at this moment, Qin Shu knew that it was KING's starship that had arrived.
"He's here as expected." Xu Wen frowned upon seeing this.
But Qin Shu and the others didn't need to react at all, as the commander on the battlefield had already given the order, and countless Alliance starships surrounded the invisible starship in the sky from all directions, blocking it in a pre-planned encirclement.
The light that could reflect the shadow of invisible objects was turned on again. The sky, which had seemed like midnight due to the heavy thunderclouds, was instantly illuminated, revealing the shadow of KING's starship.
Even if only the shadow is revealed without revealing the true appearance, it is enough to make people feel shocked.
The Federation starships that were constantly surrounding them seemed smaller and smaller under the huge shadow, which made people suddenly startled.
"He actually showed up like this...why?" Gu Jue suddenly murmured in silence.
Qin Shu glanced at him first when she heard that, then turned her head to look at Gu Jue: "Why do you think that is?"
Gu Jue hadn't expected Qin Shu to ask him this out of the blue. He paused for a moment, then met Qin Shu's gaze. He said bewilderedly, "I don't quite understand what you mean. Didn't you already expect King to show up?"
Some even say that the current arrangement is an open conspiracy.
Seeing Gu Jue's bewildered expression, Qin Shu rarely smiled. She then replied in a very casual tone, "Yes, I knew he would come, but I didn't expect him to come so carelessly. He didn't even summon more of his forces. It was as if he didn't care about our arrangements at all."
"After all, he is very strong." Gu Jue sighed lightly.
"...Oh." Qin Shu stopped talking again.
Gu Jue always felt that Qin Shu's behavior was a little strange, but he was not sure what Qin Shu meant.
On the other hand, Lu Yishen seemed to understand something and sighed helplessly: "Little liar."
Qin Shu didn't know whether she heard it or not. Anyway, she quickly glanced at Lu Yishen, then reached out and patted Gu Jue's shoulder: "Don't worry."
"Yeah, I know..."
"After all, we have also strengthened ourselves."
Gu Jue: “?”
Soon, Gu Jue understood what Qin Shu meant by this sentence.
Under the command of the commander, the alliance starships actually attacked KING's obviously more high-tech starship.
Gu Jue suddenly raised his head, his eyes widening subconsciously: "How is this possible!?"
We were clearly no match for the enemy before, so how come the situation suddenly reversed?
"What on earth happened?" Even Xu Wen couldn't help but ask.
"I've already told you, it's been strengthened." Qin Shu was remarkably calm, but had no intention of explaining further.
Xu Wen, who has always been smart and calm, always felt like he was back in a classroom long ago. He just bent down to pick up a dropped pen, but when he looked up again, the teacher's writing on the blackboard was completely unfamiliar, and he couldn't understand what he was saying.
Gu Jue's expression rarely became solemn for a moment, and although it quickly subsided, Qin Shu still captured it accurately.
But Qin Shu didn't point this out, instead she said calmly: "This side is almost resolved, and I can get my body back."
"Going to the Desolate Planet?" Xu Wen asked.
"Um."
Gu Jue's jaw moved slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but before he could open his mouth, the voice of the starship commander came from Qin Shu and the others' headphones: "King is not on the starship."
"KING ran away!?" Qin Shu's eyes suddenly widened.
Being surrounded by enemies, she thought that KING would have no way to escape and everything would come to an end, but now they tell her that the most crucial KING is not on the starship anymore?
"I promise that KING will still be on the starship before I leave." Zhou Yin raised his hand.
"He shouldn't be able to run far. Use the β plan and search!" The commander didn't pay attention to Qin Shu's voice and continued to calmly command the current battle situation.
…
At this time, the desolate planet.
Unlike the war-torn Arkansas, everything here seems peaceful and tranquil.
Who would have thought that it would happen at this moment!
The originally calm yellow desert sand suddenly seemed to be guided by something. The sand grains first became restless and then swept into the sky at the same time, forming a series of impressive sand curtains that hovered and flew into the sky.
But after a moment, the flying sand seemed to be suppressed by some invisible barrier, and the sand curtain was "cut" off. Then the sand fell like raindrops, and finally the sand surface suddenly sank, and the quicksand rolled into the pit.
But there seemed to be something extra in the pit, and all the sand was blocked on the outer layer, forming sandbags.
Not far from where this abnormal phenomenon occurred was the newly built federal research base.
It is called a research base, but in fact the base does not cover a large area, only the size of a playground. It is a new base built after Qin Shu and her classmates’ military training at school.
Originally, with the help of all the heroes, they were studying how to transform this desolate planet into a habitable one, but now it is heavily guarded, and all kinds of the most sophisticated and advanced security equipment can be seen just from the outside.
In addition to the equipment, the patrol teams at the base are also among the most elite companies in the federal army. They even carry many new equipment and weapons that cannot be named.
No matter how you look at it, this doesn't seem like the security scale that a small research base that's just starting out should have.
No one could have guessed that Qin Shu, who had just sparked discussion on the internet by announcing her relationship with Lu Yishen, was now sleeping in the deepest safe house underground in this research base.
The desolate planet was peaceful and quiet; even the anomaly that had occurred in the distance not long ago did not alarm the research base.
until--
A shrill alarm suddenly sounded.
The bright red alarm lights kept flashing, and all the personnel in the base quickly and skillfully entered a state of alert. However, the expected invading enemy did not appear, only the alarm sounds and flashing alarm lights remained.
"What's going on?" The person in charge of the base frowned.
Without waiting for others to answer, he quickly tapped the base terminal screen in front of him. In an instant, all the surveillance images of the base were projected in front of him, but there was nothing abnormal on those images.
"The alarm is broken?" asked a base staff member in charge of monitoring.
"Investigate." The person in charge still frowned.
"yes."
But at this moment, the alarms that were flashing red suddenly went dark. Before the people in the base could react, the lights in the base suddenly went out, and then the screens in front of the person in charge also turned off.
Fortunately, it is still daytime, so even if the lights go out, the base will not be completely dark.
"Restore power supply immediately." The person in charge did not panic, but gave orders calmly.
"yes."
Because of the backup energy source, the power supply was restored quickly, and the brief power outage did not seem to cause any major impact.
Like it was really just an accident.
But the person in charge didn't dare to be careless. Looking at the restored real-time surveillance, even though he still couldn't see anything unusual, he still ordered: "Teams one and three go to the safe house to confirm that the person is safe. After confirmation, join the remaining team two to guard the safe house."
"receive."
"clear."
The captains of Team One and Team Three replied.
Soon, two teams of fully armed elite troops appeared outside the safe house where Qin Shu was.
Qin Shu's body in the house had no idea what was happening on the desolate planet and was still unconscious.
After the leaders of the three teams confirmed that Qin Shu was in good health, they stood guard inside and outside the house with great vigilance.
No one noticed that the moment the backup power was activated, the air supply system in the air circulation system was reset and turned on, and some colorless and odorless substance spread throughout the base.
That thing was extremely powerful. Even though the fully armed elite team wore helmets and masks, it only needed to penetrate through a little bit of exposed skin to take effect.
But in just a moment, everyone in the base collapsed, unable to react.
At the same time, a light laugh sounded in the safe house: "Heh."
