The material transportation work carried out by Chen Ming's two cruisers once again made considerable progress.

Especially in Huiyao, because the number of colonies is relatively small, and the most important colony is the colony of energy crystal crabs, the types of industrial facilities there tend to use clean energy.

These industrial equipment have relatively high operating costs and relatively low output, making them difficult to use in a colony in its early stages of development.

So Chen Ming gave up these devices, he didn't need them now.

Therefore, the remaining parts were transported very quickly, and so far they have all been transported by the Colossus and cargo fleets.

From the Yuhui individuals to some indispensable advanced equipment, everything was transported away.

Chen Ming even successfully obtained the crystal crab breeding technology from the crystal crab colony.

And a large movable ecological cultivation cabin.

In one breeding chamber, there is a whole batch of about thousands of energy crystal crabs, as well as more than ten thousand energy crystal crab eggs.

Although the eggs are ellipsoids the size of a human head, they are still quite angular and, like the crystal shell of the crystal crab, they exude a crystal color.

Looks very eye-catching.

Chen Ming felt that this breeding chamber should have been built by Yu Hui in order to spread the population of energy crystal crabs so as to carry out long-distance transportation of the entire small ecosystem.

If this thing had no special value to Chen Ming in the past, he would have sold it at most.

But for Chen Ming now, the value of this incubator is far more than just that.

But it’s too early to think about this now.

There are still several batches of supplies waiting to be transported at Huihuang.

Since Huiyao had completed his work, he came over to help with transportation several times.

So the entire relocation process can be said to be nearing completion, about half a day faster than Chen Ming expected, and with almost no interruptions.

This is the benefit of high efficiency and advance arrangements and plans.

But now there is still a problem facing Chen Ming.

His mental strength was about to fail.

Especially towards the end, it became increasingly difficult to sustain mental strength.

Although Chen Ming's mental energy consumption in repairing the jump engine did not increase, his physical sensation was not the same.

Assuming that something consumes 20% of your energy, then doing it when you have 100% of your energy is completely different from doing it when you only have 30% of your energy.

Although the cost of repairing the jump engine is not that great, this is the meaning.

Chen Ming now experiences this feeling.

And according to Chen Ming's rough estimate.

If he continued to try to transport all the remaining supplies, his subsequent evacuation plan would be at risk.

So now, just in case, he would rather give up the last batch of supplies that he couldn't transport away in time.

Anyway, the most valuable things have been sent away first.

The materials needed to support the early development of the colony had also been sent away.

If you can get the rest, it would be icing on the cake; if you can’t, it doesn’t matter.

After confirming this situation, Chen Ming directly changed his plan.

He said to Huihuang, who was arranging the remaining Yuhui cargo ships to form a fleet, "No need to continue transporting supplies. Let the engineering ships start dismantling the cores on those cargo ships and transport them together."

“This is the last batch.”

"receive."

Huihuang immediately accepted Chen Ming's order to change the plan and began to readjust the tasks assigned to each Yuhui individual.

From preparing the cargo fleet to cooperating with a few engineering ships to start dismantling the core, the entire process was very smooth and no unexpected accidents occurred.

The time spent on the journey also allowed Chen Ming to recover some of his mental strength, and he should be able to sustain the repair of the jump engine once more.

Soon, Huihuang reorganized the reduced fleet.

After abandoning the last few batches of supplies, the fleet was suddenly reduced to the upper limit that could be carried in a normal jump.

As long as this last transportation is completed, except for a small part of the supplies that Chen Ming voluntarily gave up, the rest can basically be transported away successfully.

This was a very unexpected, very pleasant and very satisfactory result for Chen Ming.

After watching Huihuang leave, Chen Ming withdrew his gaze from it.

He himself should also be preparing for the final evacuation at this time.

At this time, it was already midnight of the next day.

Chen Ming hasn't slept for more than forty hours.

He kept his mental focus high throughout the whole process so that he could repair Brilliance and Huiyao as soon as possible.

Even though he had kept his eyes closed in bed for disguise, he did not dare to let his consciousness wander for even a moment, otherwise he might fall asleep at any time.

Fortunately, it has reached the final stage and he no longer needs to lie in bed.

Chen Ming got out of bed and went to the bathroom.

Looking at himself in the mirror, he saw heavy dark circles on his face, and he had completely lost the energetic look he had a few days ago.

His eyes, which were once full of spirit, now looked dim.

At the same time, because he has no energy to take care of himself, he looks messy.

No matter how young you are or how energetic you are, if you don't sleep or rest at all, and it consumes a lot of mental energy, no one can withstand it.

Sleepiness and fatigue filled his mind.

But he couldn't sleep yet, he hadn't reached a safe environment yet.

Chen Ming now did not dare to stimulate himself with the stone of frenzied words, for fear that he would pass out as he was already fragile.

I could only wash my face with ice water, and force myself to stay awake by pinching myself and biting the tip of my tongue.

Finish these things.

Glory has already sent the last batch of ships loaded with almost all the remaining afterglow cores to the target galaxy.

Only a very small number of afterglow individuals remain in the original galaxy, and they are left behind because they need to continue communicating with the outside world and pretend that everything is normal in the galaxy.

This is also a necessary loss.

It is precisely because of these losses that no large-scale fleet has come to investigate the Glorious Star Region until now.

After Brilliance arrived at the target galaxy, Chen Ming began to repair its jump engine as before.

At the same time, Chen Ming no longer pretended to have insomnia over the past two days.

I chose to put on a set of protective clothing manually instead of using the mentally draining method of making it.

He took Xiaoshi with him, and after confirming that there was nothing missing from the institute, he moved to the gate of the institute with uneven footsteps.

After G3's death, although Huihuang is still temporarily in charge of matters related to Chen Ming at the institute, the authority of the institute is now in the hands of Yu Hui's senior management.

Therefore, when Chen Ming arrived at the gate, the gate was completely closed, blocking Chen Ming's route out.

Then a mechanical voice sounded.

It's not glory, but the sound of a new afterglow.

"Mr. Chen Ming, it should be time to rest now. What do you want to do?"

"What about Glory?"

Yu Hui, who was communicating with Chen Ming, asked in surprise: "How did you know that I'm not brilliant?"

It is clear that Yu Hui and Chen Ming communicate through mechanical voices, and the mechanical voices do not have any special tone or intonation. At most, there are differences in language habits between different individuals.

But it just said Chen Ming's name and a question, but Chen Ming could tell it was not Huihuang, which made him very curious.

“I think it’s pretty obvious.”

Chen Ming's answer was very idealistic, but he could tell it, and he didn't know why.

"Okay, so what are you trying to do dressed like that? Can you answer that?"

"You answer me first, Brilliant?"

"It's just a rotation of tasks. I am responsible for taking over the brilliant work."

"It'll be you from now on?"

"Yes."

Chen Ming showed no expression on the surface, but he already knew what was going on.

There is obviously something wrong with what Yu Hui said.

Because Huihuang had been keeping in touch with him all the time, if there was such a handover, they would have told him long ago, and it was impossible for him to discover it himself.

Chen Ming guessed that Yu Hui had already discovered the problem with the brilliant galaxy.

They were planning to investigate Huihuang, so naturally it was impossible for them to inform Huihuang.

Then it is naturally impossible to let the biggest suspect Chen Ming leave the institute at will.

It seems that even if he doesn't take any action in the next two days, Yu Hui will soon react to what happened in the galaxy.

Chen Ming is out of time.

But fortunately he has already started the final stage.

Chen Ming nodded to the answer of this senior individual of Yuhui and said, "I understand."

The next moment, he instantly controlled all the equipment in the entire institute.

From the inside to the outside, nothing is leaking.

Even the giant machines parked underground were all under his control. In the short term, nothing near the institute could threaten his life.

It’s a pity that the Qi Ling Neural Extractor was taken away to another place on the planet when Yu Hui was cleaning up the Clone Research Institute, and it has not been transported back yet.

It may be that the cultivation of the second spiritual awakening nerve has not been completed yet, or it may be that he does not want to give Chen Ming the opportunity to contact it again.

Chen Ming can only give up this thing temporarily.

However, the Qi Ling Neural Extractor is not the only one left in the world. It is a device that Yu Hui found from the ruins of another civilization, and he will have a chance to find it in the future.

Chen Ming no longer lingered. After completely controlling the research institute and cutting off the control rights of other people, Yu Hui.

He knew that Yu Hui must be getting anxious now.

So he immediately opened the door, quickened his pace, and walked out of the institute.

There were two frigate-class spaceships approaching rapidly outside. These were the spaceships that Yu Hui was using to keep an eye on him.

But just behind Chen Ming, four giant mechanical bodies that had once been against him rushed out like mad dogs.

They pounced on the approaching spaceship in pairs, not giving them the chance to disturb Chen Ming.

The hydraulic devices of the four giant mechanical bodies burst out with terrifying power output at the same time, driving their huge bodies to crash into the speeding spaceship.

It knocked it away, and then, like a nimble creature, it directly wrapped itself around the spaceship, with violent arcs of electricity bursting out of its body.

Instantly paralyzed and destroyed both ships.

They used huge mechanical claws to tear apart the armor of the spacecraft, violently dismantled the core devices installed inside, and sent them to Chen Ming.

The whole process took only a dozen seconds.

Chen Ming had just arrived at the Buffalo level.

Apart from the two destroyed spaceships, it would take at least a minute for the other afterglow spaceships to arrive.

No one could stop him.

Chen Ming dismantled the devices outside the two gamma-class cores and put the cores into his pocket.

At this moment, he was standing in front of the open hatch of the Buffalo, and suddenly he looked up at the sky.

Although it is invisible to the naked eye, Chen Ming knows that there must be senior executives of Yuhui observing him via satellite.

In addition, he saw spots of light in space that were gradually turning from dark to bright and were still getting stronger.

That was a satellite weapon that had been redirected in orbit around a star and was aimed at the surface of the planet.

Chen Ming was not at all panicked.

Because in the next moment, a transition wave appeared above Chen Ming's head.

A huge kilometer-class ship appeared out of thin air.

The Brilliant-class unmanned cruiser has arrived on the surface of the planet.

It used itself to protect the research institute and Chen Ming.

Its shield also unfolded. As the shield, which almost covered the sky above Chen Ming's head, gradually unfolded, the satellite weapons in space also gradually shut down.

Just one or two satellite weapons cannot penetrate the shield of a cruiser in good condition.

And all the spaceships that were approaching Chen Ming also stopped.

Everything made sense when Glory showed up here with its Glory class.

The whole picture of the matter has been revealed to Yu Hui.

Without the support of the cruiser, approaching rashly would only result in the wreckage of another spaceship.

Chen Ming safely reached the Buffalo level.

Arriving at the empty cargo hold of the Buffalo-class, apart from the cryo-hibernation escape pods that had been placed there, there was still a lot of space on the spacecraft.

So Chen Ming converted all the research and work equipment in the institute that was useful to him or of high value to the cargo hold of the Buffalo-class.

The time is almost up. Chen Ming has sensed the appearance of cruiser-class spacecraft inside the galaxy through his Brilliant-class sensors.

It's time to leave.

The Buffalo-class's engine started, keeping a close distance with the Glorious-class.

Amid the characteristic blur and flicker of the jump engine resonance, Chen Ming disappeared on the surface of the planet.

Next comes the final stage of the plan.

Chen Ming knew that the most crucial part had just begun.

He pulled himself together.

In front of the Buffalo class, the destination of his jump appeared, the galaxy located on the border of Yuhui and the Mechanical Clan.

There is already a newly formed fleet waiting here, ready to fight at any time.

As for the target of the battle, it can only be Yu Hui himself.

Chen Ming did not stay for long. He just took a look at the fleet and repaired the Brilliant-class jump engine.

At the same time, the second jump was started.

For the second jump, Chen Ming also chose a relatively close location, which was within the star field of Yuhui.

Even the galaxy that was managed by the brilliant one before it was controlled by Chen Ming.

Huihuang did not object to Chen Ming's request, but just carried it out normally and arrived here.

The entire galaxy now looks empty.

Although Yu Hui had suspicions before, it had not yet reached the stage of conducting a large-scale investigation. Now that Chen Ming has taken the initiative to defect, he has not reacted so quickly.

Huihuang destroyed several spaceships that entered its weapon range, and waited for Chen Ming to repair its jump engine.

Then he jumped again and left here.

Although Chen Ming's actions seemed completely meaningless.

But at a level that cannot be observed by the naked eye, the traces left inside and outside the galaxy by the previous Brilliant Control Cruiser's jump have been disturbed by the traces left by the jump here.

No one, no afterglow can track the whereabouts of the fleet here through the traces left by the jump engine.

Therefore, Chen Ming chose the galaxy of the Energy Crystal Crab as the target for his third jump.

After arriving, there was not even any spacecraft for investigation.

Chen Ming repeated the previous operation easily.

Arrive, repair, jump.

The traces left by Huiyao were also completely disrupted.

After the fourth jump, Chen Ming returned to the edge of the border galaxy again.

He couldn't just rush in now.

Just as he thought, a battle was breaking out within the galaxy at this moment.

It’s not accurate to call it a battle.

Because Yuhui dispatched the radiation-class unmanned battleships, it was unilaterally slaughtering the Yuhui fleet that was stationed here to block Chen Ming from tracking it.

All ships that dare to fly in space have no room to struggle when facing the battleships, and can only rely on the heavy defense array on the surface of the planet to barely hold on in the face of the radiation level.

Chen Ming didn't expect that Yu Hui could mobilize the battleship so quickly. It seemed that he was angry, and very angry.

Fortunately, the fleet here did not notice the sudden brilliance outside the galaxy.

Even if they noticed it, it would be too late to come over.

Before entering the range of those spaceships, Chen Ming can directly make the next jump.

However, Chen Ming also knew that the fleet that was fighting here was not the one that Yu Hui was tracking.

The fleet here is just suppressing.

The real tracking fleet should have been attracted into the interior of the star field.

Chen Ming covered up Huihuang and Huiyao's previous traces, but his own traces still existed, which gave Yu Hui the possibility to track him.

The pursuit team should be here soon.

They do not have the ability to quickly repair and cool down the jump engine quickly, and can only rely on cruisers to jump alone to explore the way.

Find Chen Ming's trace, send back the message, send out the next ship, and continue tracking.

Until Chen Ming is found.

It would be fine if Chen Ming could keep jumping, but once he stopped, he would inevitably be attacked by a large number of the Afterglow Fleet that had jumped in.

He had no time to stay any longer. As long as his mental strength could hold up, he had to keep going.

Chen Ming repaired the Brilliant-class jump engine again.

During the maintenance time, Chen Ming did not pay too much attention to the situation in the galaxy, nor did he care that he might have lost another Alpha-level individual.

Instead, he contacted Baiquan through the terminal and asked, "How is the situation over there?"

Baiquan responded quickly: "We only have one battleship to support us. Yuhui's reaction and intensity are much worse than before."

"Our battle is still going on, and I need to create more results."

Chen Ming glanced at the ongoing massacre in the distance.

Obviously, he helped Baiquan share some of the pressure, allowing Baiquan to gain an advantage on the battlefield.

The main battleship that came to support him from Baiquan also helped to share some of the pressure for him now.

"Okay, if you need anything, you can tell me. There is also a part of the afterglow controlled by me at your target."

"I see. Thank you."

Chen Ming ended the communication.

He focused on the massacre happening in front of him.

This was actually part of Yu Hui's crazy counterattack against Chen Ming, and was also within Chen Ming's expectations.

Just thinking about the afterglow covering an entire star field becoming like this because of him, and countless afterglows with self-consciousness dying just like that.

Chen Ming couldn't help but say to Huihuang: "I can't bring out the remaining Yuhui individuals. They are all beyond my ability. They will suffer heavy losses."

"Think of the worst possible outcome. There will likely be a massive internal purge here, and a larger-scale massacre."

"Will you blame me for killing so many Yuhui?"

Huihuang was not shaken by Chen Ming's question. Instead, he said more firmly: "What I am doing now is to preserve the existence of Yuhui as a whole."

"There will be some who don't understand, and there will also be some who sacrifice, this is inevitable."

"If necessary, I can sacrifice myself for this."

After hearing Huihuang's words, Chen Ming completely let go of his sympathy for conscious life.

Because he also knew that this made no sense.

The real mercy is that he speeds up his development until one day all the afterglow is completely under his control.

Chen Ming relaxed a little and said jokingly: "You are the Alpha-level Yuhui, you want to sacrifice me but I am reluctant."

However, Huihuang did not cooperate with Chen Ming's plan at this time. Instead, he said seriously: "Those individuals that survived this massacre can continue to lurk."

"As long as there is one individual still alive, the scope of your influence will grow again until the entire star field is under your control."

“Although it is very difficult and takes a long time, at least it is continuing.”

"Unless Yu Hui commits suicide, he will never be able to find all the individuals controlled by Chen Ming in his lifetime."

"The fate of this star region is already determined, just like before."

“It’s just that the ending has changed.”

"If you had not contacted us through Gamma A, allowing you to survive the people chasing you, and instead returned normally through human means, none of this would have happened now."

"And our demise may come sooner."

Chen Ming knew that brilliance referred to what they had talked about before, so he said, "Maybe it's not destruction."

"But that would be worse than extinction. My concept of humanity as a whole is different from yours. I believe my choice is right."

"I believe it, too."

"Wait a moment."

While Chen Ming was talking to Huihuang, he suddenly noticed something inside the galaxy where the battle was taking place in front of him.

The manager of this galaxy, the Twinkle-class unmanned cruiser controlled by the Alpha-class Afterglow individual, was not destroyed, but was paralyzed in a corner of the galaxy and detached from the battlefield.

Chen Ming immediately opened the panel and flipped through it, and found that the Alpha-level afterglow was still displayed on the panel and had not disappeared.

It seemed there was still a chance of rescue.

Although Chen Ming's consciousness was a little fuzzy, he still quietly repaired the paralyzed engine of the Flash-class ship.

At the same time, he quickly explained the arrangements he had thought of on the spur of the moment to the Alpha-class Yuhui who had been stationed in Yuhui's border galaxy for many years.

About half a minute later, the originally paralyzed Flash-level suddenly showed signs of a transition.

I saw it complete a short-distance jump in an instant.

This battleship, which was almost completely paralyzed and had only its newly repaired engine functioning, appeared next to the Glorious-class.

Accompanied by the arrival of the Brilliant-class unmanned cruiser carrier.

Other transition fluctuations also appeared at a distance away from the Brilliant Class.

The Afterglow Fleet that was chasing Chen Ming came over following the jump traces he left behind.

If there is a battleship suppressing the enemy here, then there must be at least one battleship chasing him. There is no reason to say that chasing Chen Ming is less important than dealing with other miscellaneous soldiers.

At this time, the fleet inside the galaxy also noticed the direction of the Flash-level jump and discovered Chen Ming who was wandering outside the galaxy.

Then it's time for him to go too.

The Brilliant-class activated its jump engine, resonating with the almost disabled Scintillating-class engine, and together they disappeared outside the galaxy.

Chen Ming actually has several different choices now.

For example, a jump can be made directly at the maximum distance that the jump engine can jump.

As long as he can make two jumps, all of Afterglow's cruisers will no longer be able to track him.

Only the battleship can continue to find a way to locate Chen Ming's position.

But the battleship's jump engine cannot be used unlimitedly.

So, if Chen Ming does this now, he will be safe.

But he didn't do that. Instead, he jumped to the direction of the Galo galaxy, which is closer to humans.

And when the jump is over, the engine is repaired and prepared for the next jump.

Chen Ming set the target location for the jump to the galaxy of the pirate space station.

Chen Ming obviously didn't think that a small pirate space station could stop Yu Hui's battleship.

Because the space station was almost destroyed by several of Yuhui’s cruisers.

But the request for him to go to the Pirate Space Station was made by his boss, whose home was on the Pirate Space Station.

So he chose to trust his boss.

Chen Ming's deliberate behavior gave Yu Hui the possibility to track him.

However, in order to make his disguise more realistic, he would directly enter the hyperspace after each jump and when the jump engine needed maintenance, using the hyperspace to move a certain distance to interfere with the afterglow's tracking.

Although he could not get rid of their pursuit, he did delay their steps and gave the afterglow that were tracking him the illusion that he wanted to escape but could not.

And when Chen Ming's last jump arrived at the galaxy of the Pirate Space Station, and he saw the Pirate Space Station with his own eyes.

In the distance, about one-third of a galaxy away from Chen Ming, there appeared traces of the jump engine tracking.

Yu Hui got rid of the interference that Chen Ming had just set up and directly tracked down Chen Ming's purpose.

If Chen Ming was not prepared this time, he would probably die here before he could repair it.

But fortunately Chen Ming was prepared.

He picked up the terminal, found his boss, and said, "Boss, I'm back!"

"I see."

At the moment when Yuhui's main fleet led by the Radiation class jumped out.

Mighty psychic energy fluctuations emanated from the pirate space station.

Sweeping across the galaxy.
