The vast starry sky, with colorful nebulae like mist and gauze, this familiar scene had a different meaning in Ye Chong's eyes today. Thinking about it now, Mu seems to have long wanted to be independent. If there is anyone in the world who is most worthy of Ye Zhong's trust, in his heart, it is Mu and Shang. Of course, Mu and Shang, although they usually make trouble, are never ambiguous in important matters. Mu and Shang reached this agreement, which only shows that they both believe that they need to be independent.
No fear, no timidity, no confusion, Ye Chong remained the same. There seems to be no change in life, but there seems to be some change.
But now there is no one to discuss with him what to do next. Staring at the star map of Gray Valley on the holographic screen, Ye Zhong was in a daze. For the past few months, the game he and Mu Shang had played had the Gray Valley as the background. This map of the star field was so familiar to Ye Zhong that he could even tell where there were minerals.
After Mu Shang cracked the virtual network algorithm of Ash Valley, he began to collect all information related to Ash Valley on a large scale. Therefore, the Gray Valley background used in the game is at least 70% close to reality.
On this star field map, the red area is constantly expanding. The red area is the area where red-tailed beasts have appeared, and the color density varies depending on the frequency of red-tailed beasts appearing in the area. This star field map is continuously collected by Mu Shang and updated every day. Although Mu Shang does not interfere in Ye Zhong's decision-making, he will still provide him with technical support. However, since most of Shang's intelligence sources rely on virtual networks, it is not only difficult to ensure its accuracy, but there are definitely many omissions.
despite this. This information still has an extremely important reference role for Ye Chong.
Somewhat unaccustomed to Mu Shang's silence, Ye Zhong still tried to calm himself down. He held his chin and stared at the holographic screen, his brain spinning rapidly.
The situation is serious! This was Ye Chong's first conclusion.
If it was a few months ago, he would not be able to see anything in this star field map at all, but now he can already see a lot of things in this star field map that is light or dark.
Judging from the star field map. Red-tailed beasts have begun to overrun the Ashen Valley. However, most areas are still light red, which means that there are not too many red-tailed beasts in these areas. However, Ye Zhong's eyes immediately fell on the front line, which was so red that it almost turned black. A thrilling picture immediately appeared in his mind. The front line was defeated, and this area that was so red that it was almost black would spread to the entire Gray Valley at an alarming speed.
The most terrible thing is that the passage to the Heyue Star Territory is also within the control of the red-tailed beast. Shang also used the same dark red color as the front line in the area of the passage. In fact, even if Shang didn't do this, Ye Chong would have made the same estimate. The vicinity of the passage was heavily guarded, but it was easy to defeat the enemy in the blink of an eye. This shows the intensity of the red-tailed beast's attack.
Plans previously made for traveling to Dodanya already necessitated new modifications. With their current strength. Ye Zhong thought to himself that he was incapable of breaking through the passage guarded by the red-tailed beast.
But where to go now
Ye Chong frowned. It seems difficult for them to find a foothold in the huge gray valley. He has a correct assessment of his own strength. As long as they don't encounter the large army of red-tailed beasts, they are not without their strength.
Pieces of eye-catching red areas almost enveloped the entire Gray Valley. They were like drops of blood sprinkled on the star field map, and they were like open mouths of blood.
The situation was gloomy, and there was not much time left for Ye Zhong. During this period of slow movement, the distance between them and the red-tailed beast troops behind them had become quite close.
That wasn't the only thing that worried Ye Chong. These days. He has been paying attention to this map of the distribution of red-tailed beasts in the star field. He watched with his own eyes the little changes in each red area on this star field map. What concerned him the most was the movement of the large army of red-tailed beasts behind him.
At first, Ye Zhong found that the red-tailed beast army was advancing very slowly. Even slower than the speed of their fleet. With the defeat of the frontline alliance, their biggest stumbling block has disappeared. According to common sense, the red-tailed beast army should be overwhelming at this time, pouring down like an irresistible torrent. Ye Chong was puzzled by this point.
It wasn't until a month later that Ye Chong saw the clues from this star field map.
On the star field map, the dark red area looks like a mollusk with four tentacles extending out. Two dark red tentacles continued to extend along the edge of the Ashen Valley and the Death Star Belt. The two groups of red-tailed beasts advanced extremely fast, and they had already arrived in front of Ye Zhong. The remaining red-tailed beasts were the main force of the red-tailed beast army. They were divided into two large armies and rolled forward. The advancement speed is not fast, but it is extremely determined. No force along the way can withstand this torrent.
Ye Zhong's game during this period was not in vain. He could roughly guess the intention of the red-tailed beast.
These red-tailed beasts actually know tactics! This was far beyond Ye Chong's expectation. The red-tailed beast that Yi Juxing encountered had no cooperation at all and was just fighting based on instinct. Otherwise, the casualties of the Sang tribe would probably reach a terrifying number.
Without any relevant information at hand, he could not judge what changes had taken place in these red-tailed beasts. This is not the problem that needs to be solved urgently right now.
If he guessed correctly, the two red-tailed beasts flying along the border of the Gray Valley would definitely meet at a certain location. In this way, a broad encirclement can be formed. Immediately afterwards, the two huge armies of red-tailed beasts will be like two road rollers, and no one can stop them.
But why would they choose such a tactic? Their power can fully advance forward.
Surround and annihilate! An idea flashed in Ye Chong's mind, and immediately afterwards, cold sweat could not help but fall down. Could it be... could they be more than satisfied with driving humans away
After careful consideration, Ye Chong felt that this possibility was higher! The two flanks advanced extremely fast, almost completely ignoring the planets they passed by. Although their strength is not as strong as the large army behind them, once they join together, they can build a barrier to prevent humans from escaping. The red-tailed beast on the front can move forward calmly.
Is this really the case? Ye Zhong, who had always been calm, was now wet with cold sweat. He was stunned by the result of his deduction.
Ye Chong quickly regained his composure and re-deduced it three times, but still got the same result.
He was no longer interested in praising the ruthless tactics of the red-tailed beast, and now he needed to find a problem most.
Where will these two red-tailed beasts meet
This issue is very critical. Only by finding this most critical point can we find a glimmer of hope.
After staring for a long time, Ye Zhong's eyes finally landed on a spot on the star map.
Xiqing and Xiu were beside Ye Chong, not daring to express their anger for fear of interrupting the instructor's train of thought.
At this moment, the siren woke the three people up.
"Report, the red-tailed beast was found, the number..." The voice of the crew member who reported the report had an obvious vibrato: "The number is one thousand six hundred and thirty-two."
Xiqing and Xiu's expressions changed drastically!
One thousand six hundred red-tailed beasts! This number is almost the total number of red-tailed beasts that Xiqing and the others encountered during this period. It's no wonder that the two people's expressions changed after hearing this.
On the holographic screen, densely packed red-tailed beasts were like a swarm of wasps, rushing towards this side menacingly.
Ye Zhong calmly issued the order: "Gather the fleet, and all combat units enter the designated positions and prepare to fight!"
"Yes!" Xiqing and Xiu came to their senses at this time, replied quickly, turned around and ran outside. The two of them were sincerely convinced by this instructor who didn't look much older than them. He was calm and calm when faced with difficulties. Compared with them, he was a judge of superiority.
This time, they didn't dare to hold anything back.
"Quick, quick... the energy bars... are piled up here!"
"Check the pressure valve, check the hatch..."
"Pay attention to the direction, please enter position two immediately..."
"One group, guard the No. 1 passage. The second group, guard the No. 2 passage..."
…
The entire fleet immediately became nervous. Spaceships approaching each other cautiously, figures running in and out, shouts at the top of their lungs, red faces that dare not blink...
The five "Combatant" light armors were like five nails, firmly anchored in their fighting positions in the passage. Behind them, the other four teams of the same group served as backup forces, ready to reinforce at any time.
"Team leader, do you think we can win this time?" A teacher couldn't help but ask on the communication channel with some hesitation.
The team leader replied without hesitation: "Nonsense! Of course you can win!" Then with a somewhat skeptical tone: "I said, Datou, you are not afraid of pretending to be a grandson. Hehe, if you want to pretend to be a grandson, then I can go up there with someone else!"
They all know that the first wave of attacks is the most violent attack of the red-tailed beast, and it is also the key to whether they can hold the passage. Therefore, the warriors in the first round of contact battles often select the bravest warriors. They suffer the heaviest casualties, but they also have the greatest credit. They are also symbols of bravery and are highly respected. They are called the front row.
Several chuckles sounded in the communication channel, and several people booed: "Haha, Big Head, how about I come? Hehe, I've always wanted to be in the front row..."
The big head's neck turned red, like an enraged beast, and hissed: "Get out! Who is pretending to be a grandson? Team leader, let's see how I can beat these ugly ghosts into scum! I am a third-term leader. Platoon!" The hoarse voice was full of pride and burning fighting spirit!
