The three flagships formed a triangle and went deep into the meteorite belt. About half a day later, they arrived at the coordinates of the teleportation field inside the meteorite, but it turned out to be an active meteorite area and the positions of the meteorites inside were not fixed.
Georgia volunteered to go down and help identify them. Joey held down his son and also said he could help. However, Chu Rong frowned, stopped them, and then waved his hand. He ordered three flagships to surround the area. Using the strange magnetic field gravity of this area, they directly separated the active meteorites one by one and dragged them all into the flagships, forcibly dragging out a hollow area there, until the meteorites farther away were slowly replenished by the gravity.
Everyone looked towards Chu Rong - this method of finding the teleportation site was really simple and crude.
Chu Rong received everyone's gaze, reached out and touched Georgia's head, and explained: "We must try our best to avoid casualties. The meteorite belt is a dangerous environment. If the problem can be solved by the flagship, it is best not to let the soldiers and officers go down."
Everyone looked at him touching Georgia's head and looked away with understanding - they got it, got it, got it. The marshal must be worried about his fiancé. After all, they needed to find a teleportation field, and the earth magic would definitely be the most useful. Georgia had just disappeared once before, so it was normal for the marshal not to want him to take risks again.
Because soldiers and officers were not allowed to leave the ship, the collection of meteorites was entirely handed over to robotic arms, which greatly increased the difficulty of collection. Fortunately, the technical soldiers were capable and with the guidance of Mr. Ren, although it took some time, the mission was finally completed successfully.
After collecting the meteorites, there was busy excavation and searching. After a few hours, news finally came from Yuan Lie that a new teleportation site had been found.
The teleportation site blueprint was delivered quickly, and Georgia came up with a new coordinate after studying it.
So the flagship set off again after clearing the meteorites in the cabin. It was already time for Georgia to rest. After arranging the shift changers, Chu Rong took Georgia back to the room with the tacit consent of Joey and Mile and arranged for him to sleep.
"I'm right next door to you, call me if you need anything."
Chu Rong asked Georgia to wash up briefly and then put him to bed. He sat beside the bed, kissed his forehead, and pulled the quilt for him.
Allowing the two to sleep in adjacent rooms was the greatest tolerance Joey and Mile had shown before they officially got married. Although Georgia understood her parents' considerations, she still felt reluctant to let Chu Rong go. She reached out and held his hand, asking, "Do you really know how to sleep? You are not allowed to stay up late secretly."
“No staying up late.”
Chu Rong held his hand, and seeing his eyes full of reluctance, his heart swelled, and he couldn't help but lower his head and kiss him gently.
Georgia's eyelashes fluttered, and she raised her arms to hug his neck, responding shyly.
The two exchanged a restrained kiss. Chu Rong let go of him, moved up to kiss his eyes, and whispered, "Go to sleep. I'll wake you up tomorrow morning."
Georgia closed her eyes due to the kiss, but fearing that she would not be able to let go, she simply did not open her eyes, shrank into the quilt, and responded softly.
Chu Rong couldn't help but kiss his forehead again, touched his face, reached out to turn off the bedside lamp, and was about to get up and leave when the alarm in the room suddenly sounded. Then the communication link in Chu Rong's hand that was bound to the command room was automatically connected, and Fan Xiangnan's voice rang out: "Commander, Zerg appeared ahead! A large number! It seems that people are trapped!"
Is anyone trapped?
Chu Rong frowned, and Georgia immediately sat up from the bed.
The two looked at each other, and Chu Rong suppressed the idea of letting Georgia rest. He stood up, picked up a coat and put it on him, and said, "I'm going to the command room first. Come over slowly, be careful not to fall."
Georgia nodded quickly, threw off the quilt, got out of bed and put on her shoes. Chu Rong quickly turned around and walked out the door, asking about Fan Xiangnan's situation as he walked.
All the people on the ship who were preparing to rest were alarmed. The soldiers consciously prepared for battle, and the senior officials gathered in the command room and looked at the screen together.
The scanning equipment of the Chu family flagship has been upgraded and can withstand the strange magnetic field of the asteroid belt and scan scenes from far away. At this moment, on the screen, at the end of the asteroid belt, a black area is approaching at a constant speed, and at the edge of the black, a gray-blue ship is struggling to hold on under the harassment of the Zerg.
The ship was very smart and did not fight the Zerg head-on. It just fled while looking for opportunities to escape from the Zerg's activity range. But unfortunately, there were too many obstacles in the meteorite belt and the Zerg were too dense, so they could not escape.
"This group of Zerg is most likely coming for us. We didn't attack them, but if they continue like this, they will most likely be dragged to death by the Zerg." Fan Xiangnan said, trying to magnify the scene in that area so that everyone can see it more clearly.
After the picture was enlarged, the pattern on the ship became clear. Fan Xiangnan was stunned for a moment, then looked at Chu Rong in surprise and said, "It's the modified ship of the Yun family."
Chu Rong thought of Ning Kongran who had been missing for a long time, frowned, and ordered: "Speed up and get closer, and find a chance to put them on the flagship." After that, he heard familiar footsteps coming from the door and hurriedly turned around to greet them.
Inside the Yun family ship, Yun Huai looked a little serious and said, "We still can't escape. What on earth do these bugs want to do?"
"The Zerg potion stolen from Ning Tianxing has been used up." Ning Kongran spoke, looking at the dense black surrounding the ship on the screen, his brows furrowed.
They had been harassed by the Zerg for a day and thought they could use potions to avoid their pursuit, but they didn't expect there would be so many Zerg. No matter where they went, they were greeted by a large number of Zerg.
The only thing to be thankful for was that these Zergs were only focused on getting on with their journey and did not attack them, so they were able to survive safely in the Zerg encirclement. However, as the potions gradually ran out, this "harmonious" scene would probably be broken.
What's worse, they were lost by the Zerg and the situation was very unfavorable.
The captain's expression suddenly changed, and he said, "The surrounding Zerg have begun to tear at the ship's protective shell. They have discovered us, the 'aliens'."
"Spray the Zerg slime and wrap the ship with the slime. We are on the edge of the Zerg tide. We have to find a way to hold on and escape from the Zerg encirclement." Yun Huai spoke and reluctantly used this terrible method.
Zerg slime also has the effect of camouflage and paralyzing Zerg perception, but the fake Zerg slime, like the real Zerg slime, is corrosive to a certain extent. If it wraps a ship over a large area, it will cause irreversible damage to the ship's protective shell.
But I can't care about so many things now. Life is the most important thing. I hope I can delay it for a while.
The captain hurriedly did as he was told. The image on the screen was soon covered with the disgusting Zerg mucus, and the attack alarm disappeared. But the bad thing was that the Zerg sensed the concentration of the mucus here and seemed to think that a powerful one of their kind had come here, and actually tried to squeeze the ship to the center.
Yun Huai's face darkened, and the calmness he had been trying to maintain finally broke.
"What a bunch of brainless bugs!" He cursed and quickly ordered, "Hold on, don't get sucked into the center, wash off some of the slime, quickly!"
The captain did not expect this result and started to operate in a panic.
Ning Kongran, who had been looking at the screen, suddenly moved his eyes. Through the dense Zerg, he vaguely saw a different black color. Just as he was about to distinguish it carefully, a crackling sound of signal interference appeared, and then Georgia's slightly anxious voice sounded.
"Kong Ran, speed up! Go straight to the flagship, we will pick you up!"
At this critical moment, the voice from a good friend was like heavenly music. Ning Kongran was stunned for a moment, then his eyes softened uncontrollably, and even a smile appeared on his face. He replied, "Okay!"
After saying that, he pushed the captain aside, moved his fingers on the control panel, and personally drove the ship towards the different black color in front.
The Zerg army sensed the unusual movements of their "powerful fellow" and hurriedly followed him, becoming vaguely excited.
A touch of gray-blue and an overwhelming black rushed towards the flagship. Chu Rong ordered: "Send someone to the hatch and open the largest hatch D. When the Yun family ship approaches, the silver net will be closed..."
"Use the ball!"
Georgia stepped forward to interrupt him, meeting his gaze and saying, "The ball is more flexible and its size can be controlled. Mom and Dad can also help me draw a protective magic circle at the door of the cabin to prevent the Zerg from rushing into the flagship."
Chu Rong paused, raised his hand and touched his head, then changed the subject and ordered, "Send someone to the hatch and listen to Georgia's orders."
Lin Zhen responded, turned and walked towards Hatch D to make arrangements first.
Georgia also said goodbye to Chu Rong, and came to Hatch D accompanied by her parents, and quickly drew a protective magic circle.
The gray-blue ship moved forward quickly, and finally after dodging another flying meteorite, it saw the huge figure of the Chu family flagship and the wide-open hatch on the side, and hurriedly sped up and rushed towards the hatch.
The Zerg also detected the enemy's presence and rushed forward with him.
When the gray-blue ship approached, countless thick vines suddenly flew out from the D hatch, quickly extended to wrap around the gray-blue ship, and pulled it towards the hatch. Then a golden light flashed, and all the Zergs that rushed over at the same time were blown away by this force.
Boom boom boom!
Then countless stones wrapped in brown flames flew out of the hatch, followed by some tiny vines. With the cooperation of many parties, the Zerg army was stopped, and the gray-blue ship was successfully pulled into the hatch by the vines. Then with a bang, the D hatch closed, locking out all the subsequent Zerg that rushed in.
Bang!
The ball, which had expanded to its limit, dropped the gray-blue ship to the ground, shrank and withered, and the vines twitched faintly. Georgia hurried forward to find the shrunken ball and fed it some magic power with a pained look.
Joey and Mile also stopped their attacks and frowned as they looked at the ship, which had lost its vine wrapping and revealed its entire appearance.
Elves and dwarves are both races with sensitive five senses. The mucus on the ship and the stench it wafted out were too irritating. No wonder Qiuqiu had that reaction.
Outside the flagship, in just the blink of an eye, a large number of Zergs rushed over and surrounded the three flagships. After Chu Rong in the command room confirmed that the hatch had been closed, he immediately ordered the flagship to start bombarding the Zerg to reduce the pressure.
At the D hatch, Lin Zhen led his team to kill several Zergs that rushed in during the chaos. Turning around, he saw the gray-blue ship covered in slime and in such a terrible state. He was silent for a moment, then ordered the soldiers to begin preparing for the cleaning procedure.
Zerg slime is not a good thing, so it is better to wash it off as soon as possible.
The soldiers waiting in the corner gradually came back to their senses from their shock after hearing the order. They glanced at Joey and Mile, and then at the magic circle that was still flashing on the ground. Feelings of admiration arose in their hearts. They tacitly avoided Georgia's family and went to clean up the Zerg corpses that died in the cabin.
Ning Kongran, Yun Huai and the others had already walked down from the ship. Georgia was very happy to see her friend and hurried over to greet him, calling out, "Kongran!"
Ning Kongran was also very excited. He was always restrained and polite, but he couldn't help but rush forward and hug Georgia in his arms. His tense body and nerves relaxed, and he almost hung on Georgia.
Georgia was stunned by his hug, then she patted his back lovingly and whispered to comfort him: "It's okay, you are safe."
Joey and Mile, who took a step forward after him, paused at the same time, turned their heads to look at each other, and then looked at Ning Kongran with a bit of scrutiny and inquiry in their eyes.
"……Thanks."
Ning Kongran suppressed his excitement a little, let go of his hand and looked at Georgia, who had never changed. He couldn't help but smile. Just as he was about to say something else, he noticed the gaze from the side. His smile faded, he turned his head to look, and then he was stunned.
Pointed ears, blonde hair, emerald green eyes, this man... His heart moved, and he moved his gaze to Mile next to him, meeting her eyes, which had almost the same curvature as Georgia's. His hand, which was still on Georgia's shoulder, tightened, and slowly loosened.
These two people...
Seeing him staring at his parents, Georgia glanced back and forth, then introduced them with a smile: "Kong Ran, this is my mom and dad. Mom and Dad, this is my good friend, Ning Kong Ran, he took good care of me when I was in school."
It’s the parents?
Ning Kongran was stunned again, his eyes moved around Qiao Yi and Mile's faces, focusing on Mile's height, then politely lowered his gaze, smiled at the two of them, and greeted them: "Hello, uncle and aunt, it's our first meeting. I'm Ning Kongran, sorry for being rude just now."
He's a good kid with a gentle temperament.
Joey and Mile also withdrew their inquiring gazes and greeted politely.
Chu Rong saw what happened at hatch D on the surveillance camera and his face turned a little dark. After Georgia brought people back, he immediately stepped forward and held Georgia's hand and kept him by his side. Then he greeted Ning Kongran and the others. Without time to chat more, he took Georgia back to the command seat.
There are too many Zergs. After we destroy one batch, the surrounding ones immediately follow, making it almost impossible for the three flagships to move. There is no time to reminisce now.
"The monsters are blocking us from approaching." Fan Xiangnan said, frowning as he stared at the dark area on the screen. He tilted his head and asked, "Sir, the Zerg have completely blocked the flagship and the surrounding area. The scanner cannot detect the trajectory of the meteorite ahead. If we continue to move forward, there is a risk of colliding with the meteorite. Should we stop?"
Chu Rong also looked at the dense insect shadows on the screen, pondered for a while, and said: "No need, keep going, I will show you the way." After that, he turned his head and touched Georgia's head, motioning him to step back, and then spread out his mental power.
The room was soon filled with a sharp mental force. After Ning Kongran and Yun Huai sensed it, they were stunned at first, and then their faces showed shock - this level of mental force, they hadn't seen Chu Rong for just a few months, had he become stronger again?
Fan Xiangnan, who had already witnessed Chu Rong's mental "freezing" technique, immediately understood what he wanted to do. He hurriedly notified the other two ships to stop their bombardment and lined up behind the Chu family ship. Then, after discovering that all the Zergs within the scanning range were frozen, he immediately fired at them, and waited for a gap to appear in front before heading forward.
The flagship team began to move forward in the "dark cloud". The Zerg on the periphery wanted to rush in, but were blocked by the "frozen" Zerg inside and could not move forward any further. The situation soon stabilized.
For a moment, the only sounds in the command room were Lu Fan moving the gun to the south and Chu Rong giving directions. Ning Kongran swept his gaze across the faces of everyone in the room, then looked at Chu Rong who was standing in the front. A guess emerged in his mind - Chu Rong suddenly appeared in the meteorite belt, and was moving forward towards the depths with a clear goal. Coupled with the sudden appearance of the Zerg, could it be that they have already found the hiding place of the person behind the scenes and are now fighting against him?
Yun Huai obviously thought the same thing as him. He couldn't help but lean his head closer to him and said in a low voice, "Kong Ran, it seems that we have worked in vain."
They thought that the news that the person behind the scenes was in the asteroid belt was very important and should be told to the federal military immediately, but now it seems that Chu Rong and others seem to have already known it and have done much more than they did.
This is really a depressing fact, but it is also a fact that makes people feel at ease. The military and Chu Rong are more powerful than they imagined. This is a good thing for the entire Blue Galaxy.
Ning Kongran shook his head without saying anything. He glanced at Georgia who was looking at Chu Rong worriedly, lowered his eyes, and moved his gaze back to the scanning screen.
The large-scale deployment of mental power consumes a lot of energy. After reaching the new teleportation site, Chu Rong frowned and retracted his strength. He signaled the flagship to stop and raised his hand to support his forehead - it was time to rest, otherwise there would be a risk of overdrawing mental energy.
A small hand holding a potion reached out, and at the same time, a familiar healing power floated over.
Chu Rong was stunned, frowned, held the hand in front of him and looked to the side, met Georgia's gaze, and said disapprovingly: "You haven't gone to bed yet?"
"I'm awake." Georgia explained in a low voice, indicated the time, and said with concern: "You've lasted the whole night." This is simply incredible. If it were replaced with the same level of magic power, it would definitely not last this long.
Only then did Chu Rong realize that all the people in the command room had been replaced. Joey and others were all gone. The person now controlling the direction of the flagship was Lin Zhen, and Fan Xiangnan was also missing.
"Mom and Dad are still resting, and Brother Fan just took his shift and left not long ago."
Georgia saw him looking around, explained where everyone was going, then moved the hand he was holding, indicating that he should drink the potion.
Chu Rong's frown relaxed, and he drank the potion from his hand. Then he took a step back and leaned against the operating panel. He stretched out his arms to hold him in his arms, closed his eyes, lowered his head and rested it on his shoulder, feeling his breath and body temperature, and whispered, "Qiao, I'm a little tired."
Georgia hugged him back lovingly, stroked his back gently, and said, "Take a break. We have arrived at the new coordinates. The flagship does not need to move forward for the time being. There are also fewer Zergs surrounding us. We can use artillery fire to hold off for a while."
Chu Rong didn't say anything. He just hugged him quietly for a while, then stood up to look at the situation outside. After making sure it was safe, he went back to his room with him to rest.
Lin Zhen watched them leave, feeling somewhat emotional.
Perhaps the commander himself did not realize that his attitude towards Georgia has changed a lot compared to before. The man who used to like to keep everything to himself is now slowly trying to show his emotions.
If the situation just now had happened in the past, the boss would definitely not tell others that he was tired. He would just continue to persevere and strive to be the pillar of support for everyone.
It’s great that now I can feel tired and complain about being tired, and then learn to rely on someone. The superiors seem to be much warmer than before.
He curled his lips, then returned to his expressionless and serious look, and ordered: "Find the coordinate meteorite, maintain firepower output, and don't relax until the commander has rested and returned."
Everyone in the command room who had just changed shifts hurriedly responded and became extremely alert.
After watching Chu Rong fall asleep, Georgia immediately rushed back to the command room, waited for her parents to get up, and then rushed to the hatch with them, helping the soldiers drag the meteorite while resisting the Zerg attacks to prevent them from rushing in when the hatch was opened.
Qiuqiu appeared again, this time bringing two children with him. Everyone cooperated tacitly and successfully resisted the crazy attack of the Zerg and dragged up the meteorite.
Chu Rong woke up at noon. At this time, everyone had sorted out the diagram of the teleportation field in the meteorite and worked out the next coordinate location.
After quickly finishing his lunch, he continued to work with the coordinates sent by Georgia.
This search for meteorites lasted for a whole week, during which the Zerg followed him everywhere, but their number was much less than at the beginning. Chu Rong pushed his body to its limits, and had very little time to rest every day, which worried Georgia.
"We must slow down our advance, sir. You need to get some rest." After a week of watching from the sidelines, Zhuang Yu finally couldn't help but offer some "honest advice" and warned sternly, "This isn't just staying up late, this is frequent overdrawing of strength, which is extremely damaging to your body. If you continue like this, you'll be the first to fall before we find the monster's lair."
Chu Rong frowned and was about to say no, but when he saw Georgia, who was worried but considerate, not trying to persuade him, his heart trembled, and he swallowed his words of refusal and said, "Slow down for now and let the soldiers rest."
Georgia's eyes lit up when she heard that, the worry on her face faded a little, and she quickly opened another potion and handed it over.
Zhuang Yuze, who was already prepared for the storm, was stunned and couldn't help picking her ears - she must have heard it wrong, the superior actually accepted her suggestion so easily and rested obediently, was she dreaming?
Fan Xiangnan and Lin Zhen saw her reaction, looked at each other, and smiled knowingly in tacit understanding.
The flagship began to slow down and rest. Yun Huai and Ning Kongran hurried over upon learning that Chu Rong was finally free.
After a week of rest and communication, they had learned from Fan Xiangnan and others what had happened in the Federation during the past few months when they were investigating outside, and they also learned how much important information they had missed.
At this time, they were very glad that they met Chu Rong in the meteorite belt and did not miss the most important link in defeating the monster.
After sitting down in the conference room, Ning Kongran first glanced at Georgia who was sitting obediently next to Chu Rong, then took out an ancient box and pushed it over, explaining: "This is what I found after searching several hermits' retreats based on the prophecies left by the hermits in the past and the information given by the victims of human experiments. It should contain the identity secret of the person behind the scenes."
Chu Rong took the box and opened it. He saw some handwritten manuscripts inside. The words on them were also very unfamiliar. He frowned and looked up at Ning Kongran.
"Unfortunately, because most of these hermits' retreats have been abandoned, no one can understand the words in the manuscripts anymore." Ning Kongran added, his expression downcast, and said, "Too many hermits have been exterminated, and it's hard to find survivors. We are lucky to find these."
The Ning family had a long history of human experiments, and the initial victims were all recluses. It was unknown how long the man behind the scenes had lived, and too many recluses had been quietly exterminated in places unknown to humans. This time, based on the information left by the victims of human experiments and the recluses, they searched for all possible recluse gathering places, but without exception, all the gathering places were empty and abandoned, and in some places there was no trace of the recluses' former lives.
It took them several months to find this small box of clues.
"Even the military finds it difficult to find the hermits' retreats, but the Ning family and the person behind the scenes are able to do so frequently. We have to suspect that the person behind the scenes was once a hermit, and that he successfully integrated into society. He worked with hermits and indigenous people for a long time, and learned the addresses of many hermits' residences."
Yun Huai also spoke up, pointing to the most damaged manuscript in the box, and said, "This manuscript has some common language annotations, which looks very much like a language textbook. This proves that someone once arrived at this hermit's retreat and tried to teach them the language and help them integrate into human society."
But this was actually a trap, and all the recluses ended up entering the Ning family's laboratory.
Georgia looked at those stale manuscript books, imagining the scenes of those recluses learning languages with longing eyes, happily following the people behind the scenes to board the ship, thinking that they would usher in a new life, but in the end being locked up in a laboratory in despair. She felt as if her breathing was choked, her heart was extremely uncomfortable, and her ears drooped.
Chu Rong held his hand soothingly and asked, "Then why are you in the meteorite belt?"
"Because the hermit once predicted that the source of danger is in a place that humans cannot reach at present. I didn't quite understand what this prophecy meant at the time, but after finding these manuscripts, I understood. The source of danger should refer to the person behind the scenes, and the place that humans cannot reach at present. In the entire blue galaxy, except for the meteorite belt, is there any place that humans cannot reach?"
Ning Kongran answered, and then looked at the box again, his eyes full of heavy light, and said: "I used to think that the source of danger was the Ning family, Ning Tianxing, so my thinking was always biased. If I could be smarter and find out earlier that there were other people behind the scenes, maybe there would be fewer hermits who were exterminated."
Yun Huai raised his hand and patted his shoulder, then sighed deeply.
The atmosphere in the room was a little heavy. Georgia's eyes swept over the manuscripts again, and then she noticed a very familiar strange letter on it. Her ears pricked up, and she stood up and took out the manuscript.
Everyone was stunned and looked at him.
"Qiao?" Chu Rong frowned and called Georgia as he looked at her, who suddenly started flipping through the manuscript frantically.
Georgia was more and more shocked as she flipped through the pages. She took out a pile of drafts with all kinds of strange letters and spread them on the table. She compared them with the manuscripts and said, "The other half! Many of the words in the remaining half of the cipher book that have lost their cracking methods are exactly the same as those in these manuscripts!"
"Exactly the same?" Ning Kongran was puzzled and said, "I have read the code book, and it does not contain..."
"Inversion and reflection are partly simplifications. Look at this circular letter. If you put it together with the one next to it and then reverse it, it's the same as the letter in the code book!"
Georgia interrupted him and explained excitedly, not caring about anything else. She seized the inspiration that flashed through her mind, took out the code book and compared it with the pile of drafts and manuscripts in the box that she had sorted out before.
Ning Kongran wanted to speak, but Chu Rong stopped him.
"Don't bother him."
Chu Rong motioned Ning Kongran and Yun Huai to stand up, raised his hand and touched Georgia's lowered head, bent down and kissed him lightly on the top of his head, then took Ning Kongran and Yun Huai out of the small meeting room.
Carefully closing the door of the conference room, Chu Rong looked at Ning Kongran and said, "The most important thing now is to catch the monster and find his lair. Cracking his identity is secondary. We need to take our time."
Ning Kongran withdrew his gaze from the door, nodded, and replied: "I understand."
Chu Rong said no more. He called a few soldiers to stand guard outside the conference room and keep an eye on Georgia's needs. Then he said goodbye to Ning Kongran and Yun Huai and returned to the command room.
Ning Kongran watched him leave, then glanced at the door of the conference room that was so close yet so hard to get close to. He lowered his head, a hint of self-mockery flashed across his eyes, and after a few seconds of silence, he whispered, "Uncle Yun, am I really useless..."
I have always been relying on others and they are of no help at the critical moment.
"No, you're just too tired."
Yun Huai put his hand on his shoulder and turned him around, preventing him from facing the conference room door.
Another week passed like this, and the Zerg surrounding the flagship were gradually exhausted, but the meteorites with the teleportation field seemed endless.
"We are being led in circles." Fan Xiangnan marked all the known coordinates on the star map, pointed to a large elliptical circle formed on it, and said with a frown.
Chu Rong looked at the coordinate points, tapped the control panel with his fingers, and frowned in thought.
Because Georgia was busy analyzing the code book these days, Joey temporarily took over his work of analyzing the coordinates. Now he can understand and speak the basic common language without any pressure, and he said: "The monster is more careful than we thought."
Fan turned his head to the south and looked at Chu Rong, and asked, "Sir, do you want to continue searching?"
The long search without any clear news has made the soldiers mentally exhausted. Although the flagship is rich in supplies, people cannot stand staying in a fixed space for a long time.
Chu Rong retracted his gaze and said, "Keep looking. It's impossible for the monster to draw teleportation fields on the entire meteorite belt. It must have taken him a lot of energy to prepare these. This is his last protective wall. We must break it all. Otherwise, even if we find him by other means, he can continue to use these teleportation fields to play hide-and-seek with us."
Fan Xiangnan, who was about to get stuck in a dead end again, reacted after hearing what was said. He raised his hand and patted his brain, which had been becoming less and less useful recently. He put aside those unnecessary thoughts and focused his attention on the next search.
Three days later, several more meteorites were dug out, and the coordinates marked on the star map officially formed an ellipse.
"The coordinates of this teleportation field point to the meteorite we first discovered." Joey put down the electronic notebook in his hand, looked at Chu Rong and said, "We have reached a dead end. This long detour is just a trick. The key meteorite has probably been damaged by the monster in advance."
Chu Rong's face was as gloomy as water. He said, "Those Zergs are really used to delay time... The monster's nest should be near these meteorite coordinates, not too far from us."
But the meteorite belt is not flat, it is three-dimensional and surrounds the surface. Even if they have circled the area, it would take too long to search blindly. They cannot afford to waste time searching, and it would be bad if the monsters do something weird again while the flagship is searching.
Georgia rushed in excitedly holding the code book and manuscript. Seeing that they were all frowning and gloomy, her excitement faltered and she asked worriedly, "What's wrong with you? Are you in any trouble?"
Chu Rong and Qiao Yi turned around to look at him. Chu Rong stood up and walked over to him, helping him collect the information in his hand, and then explained to him the trouble he was facing.
Fan Xiangnan and Lin Zhen all looked at him - the commander was now getting more and more accustomed to sharing everything with Georgia.
After listening to Chu Rong's narration, Georgia glanced at the circular coordinate belt on the star map, exchanged glances with her father who was walking over, moved her ears, and said, "This is easy. We just need to draw a blood traction array to locate the monster's position."
A smile flashed in Joey's eyes when he heard that, and he patted his head in appreciation.
"But the experimental subjects and the transmission devices have all been destroyed. The meteorite transmission site discovered in the past few days has also been destroyed on the spot. The primer needed for the formation is gone." Chu Rong frowned and expressed his concerns.
He had thought of this method before, but considering that he no longer had anything related to monsters, he did not mention it.
And there is another problem with drawing the traction circle. The monsters are already prepared. Is it really useful to draw these now?
"There is a primer." Georgia gave a positive answer, and took out an isolation ball from the storage ring, held it in front of Chu Rong, and said, "This is it. I remember you have one too."
Chu Rong looked over and finally remembered what it was.
When Long Ruifeng and Grandpa You were captured, there was a strange force in their brains that kept harassing their spiritual seas and preventing them from waking up. Later, when Georgia went to the military to help, he discovered them, forced them out, covered them with two isolation balls, and gave him one each.
At that time, he was still uncertain about the ownership of this power, but now he is very sure that it is the power of a monster.
Although the monster did not personally lock the mental power in Long Ruifeng and Grandpa You's brains, it still injected a trace of control power into their brains through Ans and Ning Tianxing.
"The blood transmission array makes too much noise, which will alert the monsters and cause them to resist. The same is true for other high-level arrays. But if we only use the most basic traction array and change the trigger from blood to something else, the monsters will no longer be alerted."
Georgia explained, took another look at the star map, and added: "Although the pulling force is not as strong as blood, this place is probably very close to the monster. We just need a vague direction. This little bit of force is enough."
"And even if this doesn't work, there are other leads."
Joey also spoke up, reminding, "The tall young man with the hood is a conscious 'semi-finished' experimental subject. In addition to Mr. Feng's blood, he may have blood that is similar to that of the monster. Although the possibility is small, it is not impossible."
The impure bloodline could not be clearly located, but as Georgia said, this place was most likely very close to the monster's lair, and all they needed was a vague direction.
Moreover, the meteorite transmission site has been cleared, and they no longer have any other concerns.
