The moment the base signal disappeared, Mou Xuan's heart sank suddenly, and a cold premonition crawled up his spine to the back of his head.
The snowflakes flickering on the communication device screen seemed to mock his powerlessness.
He knew that something had happened at the base, and the situation was probably worse than he had imagined.
The team members' expressions also confirmed his guess. Everyone pursed their lips tightly, with an uneasy gleam in their eyes.
There was a suffocating tension in the air.
"Xiao, analyze the situation immediately!" Mou Xuan's voice was low and powerful, and he tried hard to suppress his inner anxiety.
Expert Xiao Shikong had a solemn expression on his face, his fingers dancing rapidly on the operating table, and lines of code poured down like a waterfall.
"The space-time region where the base is located has inherently experienced fluctuations. The disappearance of the signal is likely to be affected by a more severe space-time disorder. Of course, the possibility of an attack cannot be ruled out..." He was interrupted by a burst of urgent alarms before he could finish his words.
"Report! Unknown energy fluctuations have been detected with extremely high intensity!" Li's communications expert exclaimed, beads of sweat oozing from his forehead.
Mou Xuan's pupils suddenly contracted, and a strong sense of uneasiness surged in his heart.
Unknown energy fluctuations?
Was it really an attack?
He didn't dare to delay any longer and made a prompt decision: "Return to the base immediately! Li, continue to try to contact the base and report any news immediately!"
The team members acted quickly, driving a specially made time and space shuttle, rushing towards the base.
Outside the shuttle, the turbulence of time and space was like a roaring beast, madly attacking the fuselage.
At this moment, an unprecedented powerful space-time turbulence appeared in front of them without warning, like a huge black vortex, emitting a heart-pounding breath.
The shuttle shook violently and alarms rang throughout the cabin.
"Hold steady!" Mou Xuan yelled, gripping the joystick tightly with both hands, trying to control the direction of the shuttle.
However, the power of this space-time turbulence was far beyond their imagination. The shuttle was sucked into it like a fallen leaf and lost control in an instant.
"ah--"
Screams rang out in the cabin. The team was scattered by the strong turbulence. Everyone felt like they were in a huge washing machine, with the world spinning around and it was difficult to tell the direction.
"Peng! Organize the defense!" Mou Xuan steadied himself in the violent turbulence and yelled at the defender Peng.
Defender Peng was indeed an experienced warrior. At such a critical moment, he reacted quickly and shouted, "Shield defense! Support each other! Don't get separated!"
The team members took out their specially made energy shields, connecting them into a defensive wall to resist the impact of the space-time turbulence.
However, the power of this turbulence was too strong, and the energy shield creaked under the heavy weight and could break at any time.
"Time stands still!" Mou Xuan shouted in a low voice, and a dazzling light flashed in his eyes.
He used all his strength to activate his time ability, trying to stabilize the surrounding time and space and buy a moment of respite for his teammates.
Thanks to his efforts, the turbulence of space and time around them seemed to ease a little, but it still continued to impact their defenses like surging waves.
"Hold on! We will definitely get out!" Mou Xuan gritted his teeth and persisted.
Time passes by minute by minute, and every second seems as long as a century.
The team members' physical strength was gradually exhausted, and cracks began to appear in the energy shield.
Mou Xuan's face became paler and paler. At this moment, he felt a stronger turbulence of time and space approaching, like a giant beast that was ready to devour its prey, opening its bloody mouth...
Their situation is more dangerous than ever!
Feng, the space-time resource collector, wiped the sweat from his forehead. The pulling feeling of the space-time turbulence still remained in his body, like countless tiny insects gnawing at his bones.
Fortunately, he succeeded. Not only did he pass through the turbulence, but he also collected energy samples that were flashing with strange light.
These energies, like compressed galaxies, contain heart-pounding power.
The Li communications expert, a thin and capable woman, was concentrating on operating the analytical instrument.
Her slender fingers danced across the control panel, and the complex waveform graph on the screen kept jumping, like a piece of music full of unknowns.
When the analysis results finally came out, she looked up sharply, her eyes gleaming with excitement.
"That's it! This energy can enhance our communication signals and even break through the interference of space-time turbulence!"
The flame of hope was rekindled in everyone's heart.
The fear of losing contact with the base and the helplessness of drifting in this strange star field were all dispelled at this moment.
They couldn't wait to start modifying the communication equipment and carefully inject the collected energy into it.
The communicator made a slight buzzing sound, and the indicator light gradually changed from dim red to dazzling green.
The signal strength pointer swung wildly, and finally stabilized at an unprecedented height.
Success!
They were finally able to contact the base and pass on the information about this unknown star region!
Just as they were about to send a signal, a member of the Tao expedition team suddenly cried out in surprise.
He pointed forward, his voice trembling with a hint of incredible fear.
"What...what is that?"
Everyone looked in the direction he was pointing.
In an undulating black rocky area, a group of strange creatures appeared.
They were like monsters crawling out of a nightmare, with twisted bodies, strange limbs, and emitting a faint green light.
