This time, the Dawn Legion received a rescue mission.
Although the focus of the war is gradually shifting towards Xilingxing with the departure of the Zerg Queen, the Zerg in the Great Sally System is still as numerous as before. The endless stream of Zerg warriors have not lost the control and command of the Zerg Queen due to the long distance. Under the strong combat pressure, they have played a serious restraining role on the Federal Legion.
Moreover, as the main forces of the three legions withdrew from the Great Sally Galaxy and turned towards the West Ling Star, the remaining legions in the Great Sally Galaxy lost the protection of the main force, their strength was uneven, and their casualties increased rather than decreased compared with the past.
This time, too, military district news showed that three small legions fell into a Zerg trap on the battlefield, were divided and dispersed by a large number of Zerg, and had completely lost contact at this time.
The mission of the Dawn Legion is to go deep into the Great Sally Galaxy and rescue as many soldiers of these three legions as possible.
This mission was actually very dangerous, because after losing contact, no one knew what happened to the three small legions, nor did anyone know how many people were left, how seriously injured they were, or where they had drifted to. For any other legion, any of the above would be enough to give people a splitting headache.
But for Gu Qiongsheng, such a task was exactly what she wanted.
Whether it's detection or treatment, it perfectly matches the strengths of the Dawn Legion.
At this time, a group of people set off on a large warship. When they approached the Great Sally Galaxy, dozens of small spaceships were launched from the high altitude of the universe. They split up around the large area shown in the news and landed in all directions.
It was like a brilliant meteor, streaking through the atmosphere, leaving behind a brilliant trail like a burning flame wherever it passed.
On each spaceship, there is a Dawn team, ranging from 6 to 10 people.
Although the number of people is small, the configuration is extremely complete.
As the spaceship touched down, the Dawn warriors filed out. A teammate from the Detection Department was the first to determine the location and reported in a low voice, "Team 012 has landed safely at 23°18 west, 24°13 north. There are no Zerg at the landing site, and no trace of the missing warriors has been found."
He held a communicator in his hand - in the Great Sally Galaxy, which was generally shielded by silent bugs, the communicator should have become a decoration, but at this moment, with the help of another team member next to him, it actually made a "rustling" sound, and a clear and magnetic voice came from inside!
"Received," Qin Yuan responded on the other end of the communication, "Search the landing area. If nothing is found, move to the southeast immediately."
Detector: "Roger that."
Immediately, the explorer cut off the communication button.
Seeing this, the therapist who was helping him maintain communication also let go of his hand and breathed a sigh of relief.
She looked a little tired, but her expression was filled with excitement and amazement that was difficult to conceal.
"It actually connected," the healer exclaimed softly, barely suppressing his excitement. "It's clearly a healing technique, but it can restore communication in a short period of time. What the master said is true!"
The investigator was also excited: "Of course, when has the captain ever lied?"
He looked at the therapist in front of him and couldn't help but feel infinite emotion in his heart - this person was his childhood sweetheart. Although he always wanted to do something for mankind, he had no talent for fighting and no talent for healing, so he became a surgeon.
But not long ago, she was brought to Shuguang by Dr. Zou and became a disciple of Gu Qiongsheng, where she quickly learned two skills. These two skills not only have significant healing effects, but also have powerful derivative effects when used in actual battlefields!
"It's incredible," the healer hissed, praising repeatedly, "There's no other legion that can communicate in real time on Zerg territory like we can, right?"
The explorer also showed a look of pride: "No other legion can be like us, each unit is equipped with a healer."
At this time, the other teammates made a gesture to them, indicating that something was wrong.
The two immediately entered combat status and, under the protection of several combat teammates, headed towards the southeast direction indicated by the headquarters.
As they passed a huge sand dune, sand and gravel splashed, and a huge blade worm suddenly emerged, turned its ugly and ferocious head, and opened its huge mouth at them: "Ah——"
The explorer was not good at fighting, but facing the Zerg's scarlet mouthparts, he didn't even glance at them, but just ran forward on his own.
“Swish!”
Two flashes of knife light passed by!
The cross-shaped knife mark hit the giant blade worm hard, and the impact force pushed its huge body towards the sand dune. The sharp blade cut deeply into its scales!
A strong wind blew past, and blood splattered everywhere.
After just a brief brush, the entire team's speed did not slow down at all, while the Zerg that appeared halfway was torn into pieces and turned into a pile of minced meat scattered under the sand dunes.
...So strong.
The explorer looked back while running and sighed in his heart.
He thought proudly that he had actually missed one just now.
——No other legion can have such a foundation. All the members of the more than ten combat teams sent out are above A level!
…
On the spaceship.
Qin Yuan stood in front of the tall control screen, the dark and deep pupils reflecting the faint blue light of the screen.
Communications came one after another, and information floated towards him like snowflakes, converging into a huge torrent of data and pouring into his mind.
The young man lowered his eyelids slightly, and a faint light flickered in his eyes.
You have to think quickly, eliminate useless information, accurately filter out the key factors in the information, and issue different orders to more than a dozen small teams in different positions as quickly as possible...
Qin Yuan's thoughts raced, countless pieces of information connecting and linking in his mind, gradually transforming into everything that was happening in the Greater Sally Galaxy at the moment. He issued orders one after another in an orderly manner: "Team 003, attention! There are a large number of Zerg ahead of you. Change direction immediately."
"Team 007, a suspicious signal has appeared on the east side. Team 014 is converging there. Join them as well. Be aware of the potential ambush underground!"
"Team 008, turn around now and head southeast. Your location is too far away and you are almost out of the mission area."
There were clearly more than a dozen teams scattered in all directions of the mission area, but under Qin Yuan's deliberate arrangement, they were able to always maintain a certain distance, expanding the detection range while keeping in touch with each other to ensure that they could provide emergency assistance to each other in case of any problems.
A dozen small red dots flashed and moved on the screen.
Although the teams were still disconnected most of the time due to the high consumption of mental energy in breaking through the silent barrier, in Qin Yuan's eyes, the screen seemed as if the map was fully open, and the location of each red dot that disappeared and was about to appear was firmly remembered in his mind.
Gu Qiongsheng watched quietly from the side, secretly amazed.
"Brother Yuan is truly amazing," she couldn't help but breathe softly, thinking, "Even though he's only new, looking across the entire Federation, there aren't many advisors who can rival him, right?"
After all, Qin Yuan's mental power was too high, and it had been suppressed for many years. The surging mental power had nowhere to go, so it all converged inward.
Gu Qiongsheng believed that under such long-term stimulation, Qin Yuan's brain cell awakening level must be much higher than that of ordinary people.
It just so happened that she was not good at marching and commanding troops, and Qin Yuan's presence helped her share more of the pressure.
Feeling relieved to leave the communication and command matters to Qin Yuan, Gu Qiongsheng lowered his head and returned his gaze to the personal terminal screen in front of him.
On the screen was an information file. A glaring label was affixed to the upper right corner. Two large, blood-red characters read: [Top Secret]
This is the information of the "Dawn Legion" that Gu Qiongsheng retrieved from the internal archives of the military region after the Dawn Legion was officially established.
That’s right, after officially taking up the position of legion commander, Gu Qiongsheng’s rank and status skyrocketed.
At the same time, she finally unlocked the right to investigate the corresponding files and could view the relevant materials of the Dawn Legion being convicted of "crimes against humanity"!
…
Although they are called materials, there is actually very little content, just a few documents.
Gu Qiongsheng clicked on one of them, looked at the content, and gradually frowned.
The documents are the review records of several soldiers, or you could say...testimonies.
[Question: Soldier Zhao Qiyu, please describe what happened to you during your mission in the Great Sally System three days ago.]
[Answer: Okay. I'm the liaison officer for the Third Detachment, affiliated with the Fifth Detachment of the Third Battalion of the Star Legion.]
Three days ago, we were tasked with liaising with the Dawn Legion to complete a casualty evacuation operation. As planned, my teammates and I arrived at the evacuation site three hours early, but strangely, the temporary base was deserted. All the luggage was there, along with the tents, nutritional supplements, and some valuable communication equipment and signal transmitters—nothing was damaged. There were no signs of fighting at the scene, but all the casualties and members of the Dawn Legion had vanished…
We thought Chenxi might have encountered an emergency, but everything at the scene was neatly arranged, with no signs of a panicked evacuation. Even if it was a temporary evacuation, the signal devices would have been taken away!
[Otherwise, once they leave the Silent Realm, how will the Dawn Legion contact the backup spacecraft?]
How are they going to evacuate?
【……】
In the middle are some follow-up questions about the details of the scene and the exploration of the surrounding area of the scene.
Gu Qiongsheng browsed quickly and quickly pulled the screen down.
Looking at the few lines of words at the back, she was stunned for a moment and her pupils suddenly shrank.
It was 12 hours later that I reconnected with the Dawn Legion. During the call, I anxiously asked them where they were and where the wounded had gone. After a moment of silence, they unexpectedly replied—
[Say, say, the wounded are buried under the sand dunes 200 meters away from the temporary base!]
We were extremely surprised and immediately went to the place Chenxi had pointed out. There, we unearthed the remains of thirty-eight wounded soldiers...
"But those wounded could clearly have been saved 12 hours ago! They were only mentally damaged. If they were brought back to the Federation and treated carefully, even if they couldn't continue to serve as soldiers, they could at least live out their lives safely as ordinary people. If that weren't the case, there would be no need for us to organize this evacuation!"
[…Chenxi knew this, yet still killed them and buried them in the Great Sally System!]
【They betrayed humanity, they are traitors! 】
The dark blue screen flickered, and Gu Qiongsheng stared at it blankly, feeling a biting chill at his fingertips.
Although it was just a text record, she could clearly feel how excited and painful the soldier under investigation was when he said these words through the rows of exclamation marks that almost pierced the screen.
“…How is this possible?”
Gu Qiongsheng never believed that his father would betray humanity. If the liaison officer under investigation had not lied, there must have been some misunderstanding during this period.
She quickly flipped the screen, and with a little force on her white fingertips, she pressed a faint halo on the screen and moved to the last few lines of text.
[That was the last time we communicated with the Legion of Dawn.]
[Later, according to analysis by the Federation Star Network, when communicating with us, the Dawn signal appeared on the star Xiling.]
It was only 12 hours, but they were able to move from the Greater Sally System to the Western Antelope Star, practically jumping from one end of the Federation border to the other... Even lightspeed curvature travel isn't that fast. This is completely beyond the Federation's current technology.
[The only technology we can currently imagine that could achieve this is the wormholes used by the Zerg. Traveling through space, leaping across the universe.]
[…There is no doubt that they have joined the Zerg.]
