Chapter 1464 Entering a Den of Thieves
While the local troops were arguing with the military, a strange voice suddenly appeared on the Bitao Star.
The military is guarding the ammunition so strictly, which means it has made up its mind to abandon the people on the planet in an emergency!
Otherwise, it would be completely inexplicable why the military was willing to make such minor changes after such a major incident.
In addition, the military deliberately concealed the detailed information of the alien races because they were worried that everyone would know the truth.
Most people in Bitao are well aware of the military's information barriers, but not many were willing to talk about it in the past.
After all, although the atmosphere in the alliance is relaxed, they will never show mercy when it comes to catching spies.
However, with such a serious accident, the voices of doubt can no longer be suppressed.
Some people even asked directly: Military, you are hiding information about alien races, what exactly are you trying to hide?
However, the alliance seems to advocate freedom of speech and is ruthless in arresting people, with batches of questioners being arrested one after another.
But at this point, some methods are really useless - we are all forbidden to leave Bitao, and we can't even ask a few questions?
Some people even revealed that aliens had disguised themselves and sneaked into Bitao. The military also knew that Bitao would inevitably fall!
At the moment, we just want to trap everyone in Bitao to ensure that alien spies cannot use it as a springboard to enter the alliance.
This rumor is really vicious, but apart from how absurd it is, its logic is at least self-consistent.
The government and the military rushed out to arrest several guys who spread the rumors, and immediately announced that they were spies from the empire!
Later facts proved that among these people there were indeed infiltrators from the Empire, as well as Alliance people who were dissatisfied with reality.
The empire's spies were also confused about the Huo Bao Huo Zha incident, but there was no doubt that this was a great opportunity to spread rumors.
And they really suspected that it might be the work of their comrades - this sudden and violent case was too bizarre.
Since our comrades have created such an opportunity, if we don’t take advantage of it, we will really miss the chance.
As for those who are dissatisfied with the Alliance - there will be such people in any society, the only difference is whether there are more or less.
As it turns out, the latter are more relentless and more imaginative in spreading rumors.
Would everything be fine if they arrested these people? On the contrary, the people of Bitao were even more furious.
Those who spread rumors are spies... We all know this and won't be fooled.
But why not distribute guns and ammunition? Even if you want to unify management... it's okay to publicize the weaknesses of the alien race, right?
If we cannot do even one of these two things, then what are we? Hostages or lambs to be slaughtered?
Don't be fooled by the carefree lifestyle of the people of Bitao. Putting aside their personalities, they really have no choice but to accept it.
Now that such a big thing has happened, it would be strange if they didn't take the opportunity to make a fuss!
Fear comes from the unknown. No sane person can ignore the threat from an extremely powerful alien race.
Why is it so powerful? Because the Alliance has never recovered any place that was conquered by foreign races—not even one!
Faced with this influx of requests, the Bitao government really could no longer ignore them.
Because some people even said that if the government continues to ignore our lives, we will have to call on everyone to flee this planet!
This kind of thing... is really possible!
Considering that there are infiltrators from the evil empire hidden among the people, it is not difficult to create some tragedies in such an operation.
What’s even more hateful is that infiltrators from the empire had previously spread some rumors: there are no alien races within the empire!
The news spread quickly, and many people in the alliance were wondering whether the news was true or not.
No one dares to publicly declare that this news is false. The so-called information barrier only prevents people from knowing certain information.
It doesn't matter if you make up some false information, but blatantly denying objective facts will sooner or later lead to a crisis of trust.
In fact, the reason why the Alliance and the Federation joined forces to attack the Empire was to drag Guojia, who had not been attacked by alien races, into the water!
Therefore, in the high-level circles of the alliance, almost everyone knows that there are indeed no alien races in the empire.
This information has already penetrated into the middle and lower classes, but up to now, it is useless for them to know this news.
With insufficient identity, you don’t even have the qualifications to defect to the enemy country. Does knowing this news have any practical significance?
In short, the current Bitao is like a huge powder keg. If it is not handled properly, it will really explode!
So the Bitao military finally stated that we will not release more information about the alien races because we do not want social unrest to occur.
If anyone really wants to know the truth, then join the army. We are heading to Baozhixing to support the people there.
Baozhi Star is one of the habitable stars closest to the Dome Star Region, and one star is a star region.
The star field surrounding Baozhi has never been well developed. This star is extremely rich, and the residents have no motivation to develop it.
On the star map, Baozhi Star is actually in the red occupied area, but no one can be sure whether it has been occupied or not.
Qu Jianlei did not go to gamble, but rushed directly to the Qionglong Star Region. He came to the Alliance with many missions!
Only now did he realize that there was actually organized resistance there, and that they could even seek help from outside.
Qu Jianlei announced the discovery of the small lake, "... Let's discuss whether it is necessary to go to Baozhi Star?"
"Then let's go," Yi He was the first to express his opinion, "Even if it's hard to fight, can we still run away?"
He is still very curious about the world of locusts.
"Let's observe the whole process," Jing Yuexin also expressed her opinion, "I always feel that... the locust world is not that simple."
Dorgan nodded as well, "Actually, I prefer killing aliens, the human race... oh, it's really boring!"
So the heavily loaded merchant ship left the Bitao Star directly and headed towards the depths of space.
This starship has been here for several days and has not communicated with people outside, which is somewhat unusual.
Seeing the starship leave, someone couldn't help but shout through the intercom, "Brother, where are you going? Do you need a thug?"
The fourth master replied, "Let's go hunting and try our luck."
On the third day after they left, a message suddenly burst out from the Bitao Star: Baozhi Star has lost contact... I'm afraid the situation is not very optimistic!
At the same time, the heavily loaded merchant ship had just completed its jump and arrived in an unfamiliar starry sky.
Theoretically, it takes more than two days of flight from here to Baozhi Star.
But as soon as the jump was over, everyone was dumbfounded. They were actually sandwiched between two forests.
Both of these forests were larger than any they had encountered before. One had more than a thousand trees, and the other had at least three or four thousand.
The distance between the two forests is less than 600,000 kilometers, but as luck would have it, a heavily loaded merchant ship appeared in it.
They were a little far away from the Small Forest Sea, and even less than 200,000 kilometers away from the Big Forest Sea.
Fortunately, they appeared suddenly enough.
Moreover, the space disturbance caused by the jump is not only dangerous to oneself, but also to the objects nearby.
Lin Hai was pulled by the force of the leap, and the formation changed briefly - if they had a formation.
Qu Jianlei realized that there was something wrong with his position, and without hesitation he gave the order, "Leave the battlefield!"
To say it is escaping is not much different from running away. The black silk threads emitted by Lin Hai are really deadly.
Fortunately, the heavily loaded merchant ship had just completed the jump and its speed had not yet dropped, so it could simply raise the protective shield and run away.
However, after about ten seconds, the two forests launched an attack. At this distance, it was basically a black line and there was no need for locusts.
The good thing is that Lin Hai might be worried about accidentally hurting friendly forces, or he underestimated the merchant ship, so he didn't send out many black lines.
Moreover, these black lines attack to the side and front, and it is basically impossible to hurt friendly forces.
This gave Xiaohu room to maneuver. It controlled the starship to move strangely, and finally broke out of the encirclement after ten minutes or so.
However, before everyone had time to breathe a sigh of relief, a large forest appeared on the lower right side in front, which felt even larger.
The good thing is that this forest is far enough away, over two million kilometers.
"Have we run into a den of thieves?" Qu Jianlei couldn't help but mutter, "How can we fight so many of them?"
Although he obtained a large amount of ammunition supplies from the Bitao military warehouse, the space for the storage talisman was limited.
These three forests alone are enough to almost empty his ammunition stockpile!
Moreover, the ability of heavy-loaded merchant ships to withstand attacks is far inferior to that of regimental-level ships.
"Let's run," Dorgan said simply, "If this whole area is like this, I suggest we just leave."
Xiao Hu's ship-handling ability is really not exaggerated. After three hours, the merchant ship basically escaped from the encirclement of the three forests.
The largest forest was on the side and rear, chasing slowly.
Although it didn't look like it had any intention of giving up, it wasn't chasing very hard, and seemed to be just doing its job.
Thinking about the first wave of Lin Hai they encountered before, they couldn't help but sigh that this alien race really holds grudges.
After leaving the opponent behind by more than one million kilometers, the speed of the vast forest became slower and slower, and it seemed that it might stop at any time.
However, Qu Jianlei did not find it strange. The travel of a starship consumes energy, and in such a vast forest, the energy consumed would only be greater.
Wars are fought with logistics. Lin Hai's speed obviously cannot catch up with the starship. Who would be stupid enough to keep chasing him in vain?
Sure enough, it didn't take long before they completely got rid of the three forests.
"This is really bad luck," Dorgan snorted angrily, "I almost died... Space travel is really dangerous."
"It may not be that bad." The ruler twisted in the air. "Maybe this space has already been filled with alien races."
"Can you say something auspicious?" Jing Yuexin was unhappy. "Are you sending your blessings in advance?"
She knew very well that the boss's luck... was no longer a secret in the team.
"I don't want to," Xi Zhao had no such fear in her heart, "It's always right to be lenient with the enemy, right?"
