Dark, dead silent, with occasional flashes of orange light.
Among a meteorite that was exploding with orange light, a group of people were shouting and yelling excitedly.
"Brother Zhou, there are so many life crystals."
Zhou Jiang smiled and asked someone to count them. There were thirty-seven of them in total.
"According to the train's exchange rate, one star can be exchanged for 100,000 star coins. This alone is worth 3.7 million."
Although Zhou Jiang and the others belong to the train guard force, Chen An can call them up at will.
But in order to motivate them, Chen An often allowed them to participate in passenger missions, which was considered to be the welfare they deserved.
"There must be more ahead, Brother Zhou, let's keep going!"
Zhou Jiang grinned: "Do you think the energy of the exploration ship is unlimited?"
"That's right, the explorers can't hold out for much longer, we have to go back."
When everyone returned to the expedition ship and prepared to turn around and leave, someone said, "We actually have a way to replenish energy. Don't forget that there are warships following behind."
Zhou Jiang's eyes sparkled, and he reached out and touched the bald head in front of him.
"You used your brain."
He then opened the star map he had drawn, and through the miniature detection equipment dropped along the way, he was able to roughly determine the location of the warship.
"They didn't continue to move forward as a group, but instead explored separately, which gave us an opportunity."
Zhou Jiang formulated a tactic and prepared to shoot down the two warships that had deviated from the main route.
After informing everyone, the two hundred exploration ships returned and quickly approached the target.
"The battleship is not very mobile in here. When we get there, we'll abandon the exploration ship and charge straight in."
"Remember, don't leave any enemies behind. Kill them all and destroy the communication system if possible."
Everyone responded and prepared for war.
Half an hour later, the exploration ship was only twenty kilometers away from the two warships.
The warships have detection systems, but Zhou Jiang and his team's exploration ship is the latest version, which has built-in electromagnetic interference and can block the detection of most warships.
When the distance was only five kilometers, the captain of the battleship discovered something.
"There are enemies, everyone return."
There are thousands of people in the battleship, driving shuttles or spaceships to explore everywhere.
Return quickly after receiving the order.
Not long after, Zhou Jiang gave the order to leave the exploration ship and fly towards the warship on his own.
To the Starwalkers, exploration ships are merely vehicles, not combat equipment.
Inside the battleship, the captain was terrified and immediately reported the situation to Gabriel.
At this time, they discovered that they were too far away from the main force and could not provide support in a short period of time.
"Attack with all your strength, don't let them get close."
Faced with so many Star Walkers, the captain can only take a gamble.
As expected, Zhou Jiang was the first to approach the warship and blasted the door open with just two punches.
"Even trains can't withstand the invasion of the Star Tramplers, let alone warships. Brothers, charge in!"
Twenty thousand Star Walkers attacked the two warships with great force, and successfully captured them in just twenty minutes.
"Brother Zhou, kill all the enemies. Inspection shows that the battleship still has 40% of its energy left."
"Refill immediately. I'll only give you half an hour."
All the exploration ships came over and used the warships' energy for supplies.
In less than half an hour, everything was filled and the expedition ships left together.
About ten minutes later, Gabriel arrived with a large force and found that it was too late.
"The enemy was able to breach two warships in such a short time. They seem very powerful. They are probably triple-level Star Steppers."
In fact, he didn't know that Zhou Jiang had already reached the fourth level.
In the distance, a younger brother asked Zhou Jiang, "Brother Zhou, why don't you just kill them all? From the battle just now, we found that they are actually very weak. Most of them are first-level Star Tramplers, and even second-level ones are rare."
Their team is the elite of the Air Patrol Force, with the second level being the bottom and the third level being the norm.
Zhou Jiang laughed and said, "Wouldn't it be better to keep them as supplies? Besides, if we kill them all at once, we will also suffer losses, which is not cost-effective."
"Oh, I see. They're bringing us supplies."
In the following half month, Zhou Jiang replicated this method, so that he could continue searching for a long time without going back.
In order to reassure Chen An, he sent someone to send out some of the life crystals.
Chen An originally planned to send a fleet for support, but considering that it might escalate the war and be detrimental to Zhou Jiang's exploration, he did not carry out the plan.
Half a month later, Gabriel, who could not help but find out the route of Zhou Jiang and others, prepared to intercept them in advance.
"We must achieve results this time, otherwise I won't be able to report back."
As Langte's confidant, he knew how cruel and ruthless his boss was.
If there is no result, he may be stripped of his current position or even suffer a worse fate.
"Destroy the opponent at all costs."
Zhou Jiang had all the enemy's location information and understood their intentions at the first moment.
"Want to intercept us?"
"Actually, I feel like it's almost there. According to estimates, the enemy has a total of 50,000 people, but now there should be only about 30,000 left. We can easily defeat them."
Zhou Jiang did not make many changes and continued to move forward according to the original plan.
However, when they were about to fall into Gabriel's trap, he led his team to leisurely bypass it, broke through to the rear of the battleship, and then launched a swift attack.
When Zhou Jiang burst out with the fourth level of strength, the outcome was already determined.
The battle ended after three hours. Zhou Jiang did not stop, but continued to move forward after recharging his energy.
"We can probably explore for another five hours before we have to return. After all, we have no energy to replenish."
…
Outside the ruins, upon learning that 50,000 people were wiped out, Langte immediately summoned the participating train conductors.
The meeting ended quickly, and they each sent out a fleet, ready to directly break into the 245 ruins.
Chen An soon learned the news and his face turned grim.
"This is excessive. Fuyao, send out four fleets and open fire on anyone who dares to enter. Announce immediately that I want the 245 relics, and I will declare war on anyone who dares to compete for them."
The notice was issued before the fleet set off.
Most trains had no objections. They had long known that Chen An and Langte were in conflict and had been actively avoiding them.
Only a few train conductors raised questions and expressed dissatisfaction with Chen An's occupation of the ruins.
Soon after, four fleets totaling forty ships left the track, immediately attracting the attention of other train captains.
"What the hell is Langte? Does Ange need support? I'm here for you."
"I've already given the passengers an order: if they see Langte's men in the ruins, they should attack and kill them immediately."
"I've also given orders. We have so many trains anyway, let's see who collapses first."
"Do you need fleet support, Ango? I'm close."
Chen An replied: "Not necessary for now, just watch the show."
Afterwards, Fuyao gave all the information about the enemy fleet.
[Fifty-seven fleets, from fifty-seven trains, are Langte's die-hard supporters]
"Hmph, as if no one has supporters. If I just say a word, I can easily gather 5,700 fleets. But there's no need. With our current strength, it's easy to deal with dozens of five-star trains."
