Chapter 268 Seeking Support
"When we noticed the pirate invasion, we sent out a distress signal to the surrounding area, but there was no response. We had no choice but to organize a breakout and leave from the other side of the stationed planet. When we left, we were still blocked by the pirates. After breaking through the encirclement, we decided to bypass QSWL planet and come here to seek help."
Lian Yi gave a brief explanation, and then said:
"According to the analysis of Major General Nice and my teacher Ouyang, this group of space pirates must have someone behind them, otherwise they wouldn't have made such a sophisticated plan, one thing after another, and forced us into a dead end step by step. The most likely person behind them is someone from the Yunyi Galaxy."
After saying this, she paused, and the rest was up to Quinn to decide.
"All the situations you mentioned will take time to verify."
"I know, but I hope the major general can come faster. They can't wait. I don't want to lose my classmates and teachers."
This time, Lian Li's voice was even colder, and he glanced at Quinn indifferently.
If this person really hesitated and ruined things, making Hill and the others hostages, she would definitely make him pay the price.
Quinn suddenly shuddered. He suddenly had a very bad feeling. If what the young boy said was true, and things went in a bad direction because of his decision, he would definitely regret it.
He immediately turned around and left the small living room, but asked the soldier at the door to keep an eye on Lianyi while he went to discuss it before making a decision.
Ripple could only wait quietly.
"Ian, still can't contact Blue Star?"
"Yes, Master. The gap last time was only enough for me to send out a distress message. Perhaps if we move a little further out, we can avoid the area of signal interference."
"I see."
She was thinking that if it really didn't work, she would ask Major General Quinn to send someone to leave the SFWL planet with him and expand the scope of the rescue. As long as she didn't get the news out tomorrow, Captain Sean would go to the third nearest satellite planet, and then she would go to the fourth nearest satellite planet for help.
Quinn immediately gathered his men, briefly explained the situation, showed everyone the video that Lianyi had sent him, and then asked for everyone's opinions.
Because before, a pirate pretended to be an ordinary person who was injured in an attack and asked for help from their base. The other party was not pretending, but was really seriously injured by a beam gun, so they believed him.
The rescued man said with certainty that he was attacked by pirates and begged them to send someone to rescue his family and other people on the spacecraft.
Based on the landing location of the man's escape capsule, they deduced the approximate position of the spacecraft and sent a team of mecha soldiers to rescue him. As a result, only the mecha captain returned with injuries, saying that their team was ambushed by space pirates and he was the only one who escaped.
It was only then that Quinn realized something was wrong and he immediately sent someone to find the man. As a result, the man who was supposed to receive treatment actually found the location of the signal transmitter of the base and blew up the signal tower. He himself was shot dead by the soldiers stationed there.
Quinn was no fool. He saw that this was premeditated. He immediately raised the protective shield of the base, and then checked the base according to the man's movements. As expected, he found the small bomb placed by the other party. Although it was not powerful, it could still cause chaos and destroy important facilities.
Fortunately, the man had been killed, the signal tower had collapsed, and the pirates could not control the bombs from the outside. After eliminating these hidden dangers, he ordered to prepare for war and sent out spaceships to chase the pirates' spaceships.
It’s just that the pirates ran fast and their goal had been achieved. When they saw that the situation was not right, they quickly evacuated.
The pirates ran away, but there was no guarantee that they would not come back, so Quinn was always on alert.
Another escape pod landed today, and his nerves were tense. Then after listening to the words sent back by the soldiers, he was full of doubts. He didn't know how this young boy came to such a remote satellite planet, so he decided to meet him and ask about the situation in person.
"Major General, we cannot verify the other party's identity right now. We are afraid it is another trap."
Some people hold opposing views.
"But if it is true, and we fail to rescue in time, causing the fall of Planet ZJWL, we will also be brought to court-martial."
"But how can we believe it if there's only a young boy and a few videos?"
"Then take him with you. If there is another ambush, he won't be able to escape."
Everyone expressed their opinions at once, and finally Quinn decided to send a regiment of mecha soldiers from the base to the ZJWL planet to find out the specific information. If the situation is true, they will use the most primitive method and send fireworks to warn, and then he will send another regiment of mecha soldiers to support.
This is already the limit of their base. After all, they have to leave enough people to guard the base. They can't send all of them out. If those pirates target them and turn to attack them, they will be in a passive position at that time.
"Gather the men and set off overnight!"
"Yes, Major General!"
“Has the signal tower not been repaired yet?”
"Reporting to the Major General, there is not enough repair materials. The signalman is trying to find a solution."
"Tell them to hurry up, the communication disconnection is not good for us."
"yes!"
After Lianyi received the good news, a smile appeared on her face. She had no objection to Quinn's arrangement. She didn't want to stay here anyway.
A regiment of mecha soldiers left the SFWL planet on a medium-sized spaceship. Lian Yi immediately explained the situation to Sean through the mecha's dedicated channel.
"Then take care of yourself. Let's continue to the third satellite planet and try to get some more support. One regiment of mecha soldiers is not enough to completely repel the pirates."
Sean thought for a moment and said.
"I see!"
At this point, the breakout team was divided into two groups, and Lianyi followed the mecha regiment of SFWL planet and rushed back to ZJWL planet day and night.
At this time in the ZJWL star station, everyone's expressions were tense, because it had been eight days since the breakout team left, and there was still no news coming back, and no reinforcements were seen. However, the number of casualties in the station was constantly increasing. Several times, Ouyang had to drive a mecha into battle to cover the injured mecha soldiers.
Under Kate's leadership, the students in Class A worked almost day and night to do what they could. One mecha after another was repaired in their hands, but it was far from enough. Moreover, Hongtu had not appeared, which made them vaguely guess that the enemy should have broken out and left to seek support.
The smile on Hill's face disappeared, replaced by heaviness. This was the first time since he was born that he faced war and bloodshed, and these people lost their lives because of him. He felt more depressed than ever before.
He went to find Teacher Ouyang and said with his head down:
"Teacher, if handing me over can end this battle, I am willing! I don't want to see more people sacrificed for me, and I don't want to implicate my classmates!"
"Hill, if you leave with them now, all our previous efforts will be in vain. Hongtu hasn't come back yet. You have to have faith in him!"
Before Ouyang could answer, Kate's voice came from behind Hill.
