In Feinan, Yang Luo, who had just woken up, looked at the information summary column in front of him, and his mood gradually sank.

"boss."

Yang Luo rubbed his forehead: "Is there still no trace of the Valkyrie?"

"Yes," Lu said in a low voice, "We underestimated the difficulty of finding her in the vast interstellar space. There is no pattern in the activities of that ghost ship."

Yang Luo groaned a few times, but didn't hesitate too much.

"When we look for another 48 galaxies, if we can't find them, we will shrink across the board. From now on, the Molly Mies Mining Group will only perform economic business."

"Yes, boss."

Yang Luo got up and walked to the corner, began to move his body, and maintained combat readiness.

at the same time.

Sherman Empire, Skywrath Fortress, a war conference room somewhere.

Gris and several captains of similar ranks were standing or sitting behind the long conference table, while two gray-haired female bosses were explaining the next action plan.

This merchant ship that disappeared half a year ago, the Blue Charm, or Charming Blue, what a damn naming rule!

"In short, this ship has appeared in our monitoring network five times in a row, and once it was very close to the monitoring station outside the Emperor Star Circle."

"The last time I photographed it was two days ago. Does it look familiar in this star field?"

Gris looked at the meteorite belt circled by the commander, frowned and said: "The area where the Valkyrie War was encircled and suppressed two years ago."

"That's right," the female boss cast an appreciative look at Gris.

Several captains on the side curled their lips and rolled their eyes, their dissatisfaction written on their faces.

Gris didn't pay much attention to the minor emotions of his brothers and continued to ponder: "What does it mean above is that you suspect that the Valkyrie is not dead and is still doing evil?"

"That's not the conclusion we came to."

The commander said:

"This is a fact that Professor Kilgrove's original team unanimously agreed on."

They are also several core members of the team. After analyzing various signs of the ghost ship and its activity trajectory, they believe that there is a 30% possibility that the Valkyrie controls the ship and uses her mind control methods.

.

They are the people in the empire who best understand the characteristics of the ancient gods and the Valkyrie.

"The Valkyrie in their mouth will gradually evolve into the empire's greatest threat, creating a crisis that threatens the safety of the Emperor Star."

Gris shook his head: "I admit that Valkyrie is the strongest modified body I have ever encountered. She exceeds our definition of biological modification, but this statement is exaggerated."

"Her appearance was an accident," the commander said slowly. "She is Professor Kilgrove's daughter, the only daughter, but fate seemed to have made a joke with Professor Kilgrove. Her body index

Perfectly suited to the needs of the experiment, Kilgrove dedicated his all to the Empire."

The expressions of the captains suddenly changed.

The commander sighed: "The Valkyrie hates the Empire because of all this."

Gris took a breath of cold air and murmured: "If it is that madman, he can indeed do such a thing, but how can we prove that the Valkyrie is connected to this ghost ship?"

"There's no way to prove it," the commander said, "but even if there's just a hint of suspicion, we have to investigate."

"Moreover, this ghost ship itself has some abnormalities. Dealing with these abnormal events is the mission of our force."

A captain nodded: "After all, we are idle when we are idle."

Gris smiled and said nothing.

The commander said solemnly:

"The military has dispatched one hundred and twenty-five detection ships and three independent regiments to conduct a wide-area search in this area. The nearby business roads have been temporarily rerouted, and the surrounding administrative stars have also sent more than three hundred

A defense warship will be deployed to search the entire area for traces of this ghost ship."

"Everything is done in secret."

"Based on the performance of this merchant ship and the efficiency of its emergency charging system, we concluded that it was unable to leave this boundary."

The commander drew a large circle on the star map.

"You each gather your team members, leave the base within the next two galactic hours, and rush directly to the area, do you understand?" //

Gris and several captains stood still at the same time and shouted angrily:

"yes."

Two galactic hours later.

The three special ships left the Skywrath Fortress, jumped directly in the area affected by the fortress' gravity, and rushed into the vast deep space.

"Boss, the Sherman Empire suddenly mobilized a large number of ships to search the area in front of us."

"A large number of ships?"

Yang wondered: "How many?"

"According to the information I just captured, there are at least four to five hundred detection ships from various nearby administrative stars.w."

Lu groaned a few times:

"There are also a large number of military detection ships operating together inside. Their range of activities coincides with the airspace we are going to explore next."

"I'm getting more information."

Yang had a bad premonition: "Check again."

"Okay boss."

Lu remained silent while Yang Luo called up the airspace map and quickly marked a series of marking points based on the information currently available.

During this period of time, they traveled all over the small No Man's Sky, invested a lot of money, built networks, and installed monitors, but they only found a few clues.

Now, the Sherman Empire is likely to get ahead of them and find the ghost ship first.

"Boss, they are looking for the blue number."

"I knew it," Yang Luo cursed, "but this also shows that the route we have determined at this stage is probably correct. This is the Sherman Empire, and the official intelligence of the empire must be more than ours.

"

Yang Luo breathed out softly and continued: "Let Feinan and Dongfeng stop temporarily. I want to think about countermeasures."

"Yes, boss."

Feinan and Dongfeng were stationary one behind the other at the same time.

Of course, there is no absolute stillness in the universe. Space itself is expanding, and large galaxy clusters are also moving towards greater gravitational sources. Stillness is still a relative concept.

Yang Luo quickly made up his mind.

"Let the Dongfeng maintain long-range reinforcements and do not enter the forward airspace unless absolutely necessary. It cannot be directly exposed to the empire's sight." Yang Luo said, "Feinan and the White Ghost enter the forward area. If they are discovered, we will issue a coordination request.

, just said that I suspect there is a swarm of insects hiding around here."

Law thought carefully and reminded: "If the Valkyrie is really found in the airspace ahead, boss, will you use the identity of the white ghost to fight the Valkyrie?"

"No," Yang Luo thought for a while, "I will make a judgment based on the situation. Don't worry, I cherish my life very much. If the conditions are not mature, it is impossible to collide with the Valkyrie head-on."

Law added: "Moreover, if you appear near the Valkyrie, she should be able to sense your presence."

"Didn't you make two sets of signal shielding equipment for Hera?" Yang Luo smiled and said, "If I remember correctly, there is also a set on the Feinan, please bring it over to me."

"Okay boss, I'm going to check it out right now."

"Go ahead, I'll drive it myself."

Yang Luo made a gesture, and the floating square rudder of the Feinan floated over, and he held it tightly.

Destiny, after all, is still in your own hands.

The Feinan was in full stealth mode, accelerating towards the airspace ahead.

Through long-term penetration of the Sherman Empire's network, Law has established an intelligence system that relies on civilian networks.

At this moment, this intelligence system is already operating at full capacity.

The Sherman Empire's dispatch and search operation was directly ordered by the superior leaders of the special forces. All administrative stars and garrison space stations in this airspace urgently dispatched idle ships to cooperate with the work.

Because the orders were issued too hastily, many administrative star officers directly used dual-purpose military and civilian ships in order to complete the targets.

This provided a window for Ritsu to spy on the empire's official operations.

A steady stream of news was summarized on the projection screen at Yang Luo's hand.

Discover traces of the Sherman Empire’s special forces;

All the ships participating in this airspace search have obtained various information about the blue ship;

The imperial military has dispatched a large number of ships. Although there are no heavy firepower ships, this part of the combat effectiveness cannot be underestimated.

There are various indications that the Sherman Empire is indeed eyeing the ghost ship and suspects that the ship may hide some weapons of mass destruction.

Otherwise they wouldn't use special forces.
