At this point, the four of them stopped talking.
Zhuo Hanchen asked, "How do we fight? Does Lieutenant Chu have a plan?"
Chu Qingchen said, "Let's check the radar first."
As he spoke, he turned on the interstellar airship's built-in radar scanning system and the convertible imaging equipment.
A virtual display screen three meters wide and one meter high appeared in the spacious room of the captain's cabin.
Soon, the scene outside the airship appeared above.
It was around one in the middle of the night and it was pitch black outside.
Even the moonlight from last night is gone.
The sky was covered with dark clouds, completely blocking out the moonlight and starlight.
Only the radar's far-infrared scanning system can clearly display the situation outside.
Their five interstellar airships were docked very close to each other.
They are roughly lined up on the same line.
They are less than ten meters apart.
When taking off, you need to take off in sequence, otherwise if the engines rotate at the same time, it will have a bad effect on each other.
But on this pitch-black night, they saw groups of sneaky, strange-looking humanoid creatures, carrying guns, approaching their five airships.
"This is a Shangren." Zhuo Hanchen seemed to be thinking, "There are also some other humanoid creatures, but I can't identify their species."
There were so many of the dead and those humanoid creatures on the virtual display screen.
Crowded like ants.
Chu Qingchen remained calm and sent an instruction to the main control console.
Soon, the radar system scanned the approaching group of human-killers and type creatures, and obtained a data, which was displayed on the virtual display screen.
"There are Dead Men and unknown humanoid creatures approaching, armed with ranged and melee weapons. Preliminary estimates put their number at around 40,000."
The five people gasped.
Jinabi quickly said, "Qingchen, we only have 5,000 people! How can we possibly defeat them?!"
Lu Luyu was rather careless and hadn't noticed what Chu Qingchen had just said. She asked in confusion, "Why can't we defeat them?! We have five thousand men equipped with mechas! Isn't that more than enough to defeat those Shang people who fight with sticks and stones?"
“No matter how many of them there are, they are still delivering food!”
Jinabi smiled bitterly and said, "Alu, look again, are those Shang people really holding sticks and stones?"
Lu Luyu then took a closer look, and her eyes suddenly became erratic, and she was obviously scared.
Chu Qingchen didn't say anything for a long time. He slammed his hand on the table and said, "Even if we can't win, we have to fight!"
"I am now conducting pre-war mobilization!"
As he spoke, he opened the public channels of the five interstellar airships and projected himself onto the virtual big screens of the five airships.
He first showed everyone the video footage scanned by the radar.
Then he said very sadly: "My fellow Marines, the situation has changed!"
"Our radar just detected that there are about 40,000 dead people and unknown humanoid creatures approaching our base."
"I hope everyone can put aside their past grudges, unite, and fight the Shangren and their accomplices to the bitter end!"
The space marines in the lower cabin looked at each other, all eager to try.
Although the images in the video are not very clear, it can be seen that there are quite a few Shang people and their accomplices.
But they have mechas now!
It is more than twice as powerful as previous military exoskeletons!
Then they all shouted in unison: "Fight to the death! Fight to the death!"
Chu Qingchen's voice was filled with excitement and encouragement as he said, "All of you Marines are brave and skilled in battle. This time we have returned victorious. I will ask the military to award you with honors!"
After he finished speaking, he asked Zhuo Hanchen to come out and explain the battle strategy to everyone.
Zhuo Hanchen used a laser pointer as a guide, pointing to several locations on the virtual display screen and saying, "We have exactly five interstellar airships, each with a thousand people on board."
"Everyone, divide into five teams based on your respective airships and ambush these five strongholds."
"Wait until the Shang people and their accomplices arrive at these locations, then attack them together and catch them by surprise!"
"We will notify everyone of the specific time of the charge through the communication system inside the mecha!"
"Now I give the order, move out!"
At Zhuo Hanchen's command, the space marines who had gathered in the lower cabins of the five interstellar airships flew out one after another from the hatches opened on the lower floors of the airships.
They are all fully armed and wearing mechas. Most of them are three meters tall, and a few are wearing six-meter-tall mechas. They are the commanders among these marines.
The five-member team only breathed a sigh of relief after these space marines left the airship one by one and arrived at the ambush location designated by Chu Qingchen and his team.
Hui Zhifeng said with some concern: "...Qingchen, you didn't mention that those Shangren and their accomplices had conventional firearms."
Chu Qingchen smiled but said nothing.
