Chapter 436 Don’t Open the Cabin (Two in One)
Seven days after the jump.
The stone sculpture reappeared on time.
"It really can't even be shaken off by the jump."
Lin Yang was also a little shocked by the weirdness and power of this statue.
Every time it appears, it is in the same state, it is still and can be bypassed directly.
In theory, after bypassing, the stone sculpture will be left behind.
But every time the statue is encountered, the statue appears directly in front of the warship.
Now it is still the same in the state of continuous jump, which can completely rule out the possibility that the stone sculpture is always chasing and moving behind.
Because several experiments have been done before, before the stone sculpture appeared on the seventh day, the spacecraft began to fully scan all the areas that could be scanned in front and behind.
But even in the first second before the stone sculpture appeared, no statues were scanned around. The stone sculpture appeared in front of it out of thin air every time.
Even once, Lin Yang had a sudden idea and instructed the spacecraft to fly back two days after leaving the stone sculpture, wanting to see if the stone sculpture was following far behind, but he did not see the stone sculpture halfway.
Now, if it is still the same after the jump, it can at least fully prove that one of the following mechanisms of the stone sculpture is to use some unknown power. No matter how far the follower moves, as long as it is still in the unknown space, the stone sculpture can accurately lock and appear instantly.
This is a very strange and terrifying method.
"Seven days of ultra-long-distance jump, the stone sculpture can still accurately follow, what kind of power is this!"
Lin Yang exclaimed.
This is simply an unimaginable ability.
Then, he no longer paid too much attention to the statue and followed it to sleep.
When we arrive in the fifth district to support the fifth team, we will have to fight a big battle. It will be difficult to rest then.
Take advantage of the remaining time to recuperate and fight against the unknown life forms that attacked the fifth team.
Time flies, and more than 30 days have passed.
"Attention, crew members, we have arrived at the target area and this super jump has ended."
The voice of the Suzaku intelligent system sounded in the battleship.
Immediately afterwards, Lin Yang and others woke up from the hibernation cabin one by one.
"We are here!"
Everyone entered the combat state in an instant.
"Suzaku, re-precisely locate the source of the distress signal." Lin Yang instructed.
Now we need to confirm whether the fifth group's warships still exist.
The positioning system flashed for thirty seconds, and the Suzaku intelligent system said:
"Captain, the original signal source has been destroyed and cannot be located. It has been re-located to the fourth group's warships through wartime authorization. It is now three days away from the location of the fourth group's warships. Do you want to start the super jump again?"
Lin Yang frowned.
The original signal source was destroyed, which means that the fifth group's warships have been destroyed.
"It's been more than thirty days, and it's normal for the warships to be destroyed." Que Tian said slowly.
Lin Yang nodded: "Then make another super jump and go to the fourth group's warships."
"Suzaku received it, and the super jump mode has been restarted again. It will enter the super jump state in thirty seconds."
"By the way, Suzaku, no equipment of the members of the fifth group or other people's equipment has been located?" Lin Yang asked again.
He didn't see any other signal sources from the positioning system.
There was only the red dot representing the fourth group's warships.
This is not normal.
When entering a war state, all members of the team will turn on the combat device positioning.
Now that the warship of the fourth team can be located, it means that the fourth team has already provided support in advance. In addition to the warship itself, the equipment of each member can also be located.
But now the personal equipment information of the members has not been retrieved, which is a bit strange.
"Captain, only the warship of the fourth team is temporarily located." Zhuque replied.
"This..." Lin Yang instantly had a bad premonition.
As the saying goes, there must be something wrong when things are abnormal.
This abnormal phenomenon probably means that there may be other accidents and troubles.
This is not a good sign.
"Team leader, maybe they took the initiative to turn off the positioning device."
Cai Fei saw the worry in Lin Yang's heart and couldn't help saying.
"I hope so. Everyone will prepare for the next three days and wait until they arrive near the warship of the fourth team to see the situation."
Lin Yang said, and at the same time sent a message to the fourth team through the group interconnection device to inquire about the situation.
Now the distance between the two sides is very close. At such a close distance, the transmission of messages should be able to achieve almost real-time communication.
However, the fourth team has not responded.
"It's very abnormal." Lin Yang frowned and sent messages to other groups.
Soon, the first and second groups replied, saying that they were too far away and had not yet provided support. They hoped that Lin Yang could inform them of the support situation after arriving to determine whether they needed to continue to increase support.
Except for the fourth, fifth and sixth groups, other groups also sent the same message.
Lin Yang was not surprised.
Because as early as when entering the unknown space, there was an advance explanation about rescue.
Generally speaking, if a group encounters danger, the two adjacent groups can go to support it.
This can ensure timely support and will not delay the exploration of other groups.
Unless the two adjacent groups still cannot solve the current crisis after support, then other groups will continue to increase support.
Their group is the third group, and it stands to reason that they don't need support this time.
They just wanted to test the following mechanism of the stone statue, so they also joined the support.
But now, the fourth, fifth and sixth groups could not be contacted, which made Lin Yang feel that the situation might be a little bigger.
As soon as the fifth group sent out a message for help, the fourth and sixth groups went to support immediately.
Now that the fourth group has arrived, the sixth group should be almost there.
Even if they haven't arrived, they should not be too far away.
But now Suzaku can only locate the warship of the fourth group, which is obviously wrong.
After a pause, Lin Yang sent another message: "Everyone, I am Lin Yang, the leader of the third team. My team has initially arrived at the rescue area, but we are unable to contact the four, five and six teams."
"My team can only locate the fourth team's warship at present, and cannot locate other members' equipment."
"Therefore, my team speculates that the danger level may have escalated. My team is jumping to the location of the fourth team's warship and is expected to arrive at the fourth team's warship in three days."
"If my team does not report the rescue-related information to you in a timely manner after three days, please go to support as appropriate, or exit the unknown space in time. There are suspected new unknown dangers in the unknown space, including the strange statues encountered by my team, which may also cause new unknown crises at any time. Please be aware of this."
As soon as Lin Yang finished speaking, Que Tian and others looked over , Cai Fei even asked in confusion: "Team leader, what are you doing..."
Lin Yang looked at the endless darkness outside and said faintly: "In this situation, we need to give early warning to other groups in advance. The danger that the four, five and six groups cannot solve together cannot even send us warning information in time, which is enough to show the seriousness of the situation!"
"While we can still contact other groups, we must be cautious, make early warning arrangements, and minimize unnecessary personnel losses. In case we really encounter difficult problems, we can also let them know the seriousness of the matter and leave the unknown space in time and ask for support from the strong people of the Alien Management Bureau."
Hearing this, Cai Fei immediately gave a thumbs up and said with emotion: "Team leader, in terms of stability, I admire you. This is too stable..."
Que Tian and the other three also nodded in agreement.
Now that we don't even know the specific situation, Lin Yang directly makes arrangements for the worst result. This is indeed very stable.
"Get ready for battle."
Lin Yang didn't say much.
...
Three days later.
"Here!"
As the Suzaku ship stopped jumping, Lin Yang and his men were ready for battle in an instant.
At this moment, the lights on the fourth group of warships can be seen from a distance.
During these three days, due to the precise positioning and locking, Suzaku directly jumped to the position closest to the fourth group of warships.
Now the fourth group of warships can be seen through the porthole.
At this time, the fourth group of warships are still sailing towards the depths of the unknown space.
"It's really strange. Normally, they should know that we have come to support us. Why don't they let the warships take the initiative to reunite with us? Instead, they are constantly sailing towards the depths. In these three days, they have no intention of meeting us halfway."
Seeing the fourth group of warships in front of him, Cai Fei couldn't help but say.
"I don't know, but, no matter what, the support has come, just land directly, try to get close to the fourth warship, and continue to establish a link."
Lin Yang shook his head and asked Suzaku to continue to approach.
As for the question Cai Fei mentioned, in fact, they were also very confused during these three days.
After all, under normal circumstances, if they knew that their reinforcements were coming, they would definitely try every means to get close to the direction of the reinforcements in order to reunite as soon as possible.
But the fourth group of warships just continued to sail towards the depths.
This is obviously also abnormal behavior.
Lin Yang pondered for a moment and began to send messages to other groups.
It was agreed three days ago that they would give timely feedback after arriving.
Now the weirdness of the fourth group must also be delivered in time.
However, as the message was sent, it soon showed that the sending failed!
"Huh? Failed to send?" Lin Yang couldn't help but become serious, "Suzaku, the warship information network and equipment are not functioning normally?"
"Captain, everything is normal."
Suzaku gave a normal reply.
"Normal? Then why can't the information be sent?" Lin Yang frowned.
"Perhaps, it was interfered by an unknown force or magnetic field." Que Tian said, "Maybe this is also the reason why the fourth group cannot transmit information to us. It is possible that after entering a certain range in this area, it will be affected by this magnetic field or force."
Lin Yang looked at him: "Have you encountered it before?"
He was referring to the exploration team of the Taixuan Ancient Dynasty.
Que Tian shook his head: "No, I'm just guessing."
"It seems that we are going to witness new things again. In the records of the Abnormal Management Bureau, there has never been such a situation where the message cannot be sent. At most, the delay time is a little longer." Lin Yang said.
There are indeed some places in the universe with special magnetic fields that can interfere with or even block signals.
But they are very rare.
It is even rarer to be able to affect the communication of the ninth-level civilization.
And it has never been encountered in the unknown space.
Whether it is transmitting information to the outside world or sending information to other teams in the unknown space, there has never been such a phenomenon of failure to send.
At most, the transmission speed is very slow.
Now it directly shows that the transmission failed, which can be said to be the first time I have encountered it.
"Team leader, this is obviously wrong. Do we really need to continue landing?" Cai Fei hesitated.
They are so close. If the fourth group does not reply to the message, they cannot pass the message to other groups. This is equivalent to a sign that they have encountered a new unknown danger.
It is too risky to continue approaching.
It is not stable enough.
Lin Yang said in a deep voice: "The support has come. If we retreat now, won't all our efforts go to waste?"
Que Tian also nodded and said: "The team leader is right. The main purpose of our coming all the way here is to support them. At least we should understand what danger they are in and what the current situation is."
Yuan Hao glanced at Cai Fei and teased: "What? Are you scared? If you are scared, go to the escape cabin first and hide."
"...Fuck? I'm scared? Are you kidding?" Cai Fei was anxious in an instant, "I just said it casually. Going to the escape cabin? What's the difference between that and being a deserter? I, Cai, will never be a deserter even if I die!"
"...Don't argue with each other. After the warship docks, I will land first, and you will wait on Suzaku. If the situation is different, just disconnect and run. If I don't come out in time, then Que Tian will be the new team leader!" Lin Yang waved his hand to interrupt Cai Fei and Yuan Hao and made arrangements.
"Ah? Team leader, you land first? How can that be? Let me go first." Cai Fei was stunned.
He just likes to make some jokes. If he really encounters something, he will not hesitate.
"Yes, team leader, as the team leader, you are the backbone, let us go first." Yuan Hao also said.
"Let me go." Lin Yang waved his hand.
As the team leader and the strongest in the team, he must lead by example.
This is also the responsibility that the team leader should bear.
"Team leader, I will go with you." Que Tian suddenly said, "If we join forces, we will have a greater chance of getting out if we really encounter trouble."
Lin Yang looked at Que Tian and wanted to refuse. After all, if the two of them were in danger, Cai Fei and the other two would be in even greater danger. But after a little hesitation, he nodded and said, "Okay, then we will land together later."
Although he was the champion of the last universe competition, Que Tian's strength was obviously still reserved.
It is indeed safer for the two of them to join forces.
After that, Lin Tian reminded Cai Fei and the other two: "In view of the current situation where information cannot be transmitted, in the first ten minutes after Que Tian and I enter, no matter what the situation is, one of us will come out on time to inform."
"If neither of us comes out after the first ten minutes, it means that the danger is beyond control. Don't hesitate, just run, and tell other teams not to support after leaving the signal interference shielding area, and stay away from the unknown space as soon as possible."
He and Que Tian joined forces, and their combat effectiveness was already the top among the fifty people in this group. If even the two of them couldn't get away, then there was no point for other teams to come.
"Received!"
Cai Fei and the other two immediately responded seriously.
Soon, Suzaku was completely close to the fourth group of warships.
Lin Yang and Que Tian each wore a single-person combat device and rushed to the fourth warship at a high speed.
However, at the moment of opening the hatch, a face suddenly appeared on a porthole of the fourth warship, shouting at them.
But the sound did not come out.
It can only be vaguely seen from the shape of the mouth that the person shouted:
"Don't open the hatch!"
