Chapter 1141: SOS Communication

A week has passed since the army led by [Joy Knight] attacked. The third batch of [Dawn Series] and the first batch of [Sunrise Series] that are ready to awaken have been completed. The corresponding pilots have all been injected with Festum factors and completed the initial adaptation, so...

The external exploration plan should also begin.

According to the planned plan, the Promise will set off from the southeast alone, Katie will lead three fleets from the northwest, and Fleet will lead three fleets from the southwest. The planned goal is to circle the earth along the prescribed route and return to the Srinagar area after one month.

On the way, not only will the remaining supplies and possible surviving humans be searched and collected, but also the environment will be detected. The most important thing is natural food and minerals. Food is to maintain the daily life of the Promise Corps, and minerals are to prevent the battle from being too intense, resulting in insufficient spare parts. There are also production, transformation, and repair of warships, etc., all of which are needed.

Among the three exploration teams, the Promise has the smallest number, but as always, it has the strongest combat power. Although there is only one Macross-class battleship, the MS troops on board are all T0-level aces. There are five awakened [Dawn Series], and there are six [Dawn Series] waiting to be awakened in the third batch, namely, Asem and Gundam AGE2, Mikazuki and Barbatos Lupus, Law and [Gundam Astray Red Machine·Super Red Dragon], Mukumo He and [Gundam Astray Blue Machine·Full Armor], Wolf and [G-Gaia], and finally Cruze and his [Gundam Supreme Will].

That's right, this time, Cruze also chose to follow the Promise. On the one hand, there is no need to carry out intelligence work in this world, and there is no room for his job; on the other hand, Cruze is also a person who cares about improving his own strength. He may not like to rush to the front line, but he will never allow himself to fall behind and fall out of the T0 level.

Especially after learning that Yulin, Neil, and Lyle all successfully awakened their talents and were promoted to A-class pilots in this awakening, even he couldn't sit still.

Although the other two fleets did not have so many top combat forces, each had only one Savior-type Fafner and two [Dawn Series] to be awakened, and half of the Heroic Soul-type Fafner on Ryugu Island.

But the number was enough. The number of warships and the number of MS troops could not reach the level of qualitative change, but it was enough to deal with Festum's army.

The six [Dawn Series] to be awakened on the Promise, plus the Demon Angel and Healing Angel of the First Fleet, and the [Eternal Freedom Gundam] and [Immortal Justice Gundam] of the Second Fleet, a total of eight, were all the Dawn Series of the third batch.

"Let's go, Katie, Fleet, be careful." On the bridge of the Promise, Yang Hui said to Katie and Fleet on the screen. This time, they had made full preparations for the outbound exploration mission, but it was still full of crises.

"Well, you should be careful too."

"Don't worry."

The three troops set out separately, without using FOLD jumps, and only relying on the thrusters at the rear of the ship to move forward at a medium speed. A month is not tight for them, but it is not enough.

"The detection system is fully activated, the ship maintains the second-level combat configuration, the MS troops take turns on duty, and keep one awakening [Dawn series] in a state of readiness at any time." After setting off, Baki Lulu gave the order, Yang Hui also nodded, got up and left the bridge. Although he was the commander-in-chief, he had to obey Baki Lulu's arrangements on the Promise.

...

"What's the situation?" Yang Hui came to the bridge just after returning from a patrol. The Promise has been sailing on land for a week. A lot of usable materials have been found, and many usable mineral deposits have been found. At present, there is no engineering unit, but it is marked. After the situation collected by the three lines is summarized after returning, the troops will be arranged to collect them.

As for the refugees... Unfortunately, no living person has been found so far.

"Still nothing has been found. The communication system collects all-channel communications 24 hours a day, but..."

"Alas."

Although the scheduled route has not yet passed halfway, Yang Hui's luck in his heart has been slowly wiped out. He originally had some luck. The people in the Temple of Slaughter also treated the humans outside as ants. After destroying the main body of civilization and most of the living forces, they left them alone, or like Ryugu Island and Poseidon Island, they kept them as bait, toys, etc., and some of them survived by chance, hiding in various parts of the world to survive.

As a result... After searching for a whole week, nothing was found, let alone living people, and no traces of human life could be found. It was either nature or the ruins of cities that had returned to nature.

"It's not over yet, there is still a chance." Baki Lulu said.

"Well, I understand, but... Calculating the time, the next attack should come, but I don't know..." Calculated from the end of the last attack, the preparations before departure consumed a week, and another week has passed since departure. Half a month has passed. According to the law, the next attack of the alien Festum should come soon.

If it was just Festum's army, the Promise's current combat power would have no problem repelling it directly, but the appearance of [Joy Knight] and the unknown red MS meant that this outing mission had to be terminated.

Moreover, what worried Yang Hui the most was how many cadres had the title of [Knight]? How many [Knights] had come to this world? And above [Knights], were there any higher-level cadres, and what special abilities did these [Knights] have?

If the strength of [Knights] was just as [Joy Knight] had shown, Yang Hui would never believe it.

According to the intelligence obtained from the last battle, the only weapon of [Joy Knight] was the giant sword in his hand, which had strong attack power and was also very strong. It had a very strong force field barrier and regeneration ability. The pair of wings covered with spikes were not so much weapons as propulsion and balancing devices. The attack ability was just a bonus, and there was also... a special ability that made Graham unable to move for a moment.

If that's the case, then the combat power of [Joy Knight] is not higher than Azazel type, which is unreasonable. [Joy Knight] is a higher-level existence than Azazel type. No matter what special situation, strong hard power is necessary.

Therefore, Yang Hui judged that the [Joy Knight] encountered at present did not show all its strength, and they still hid a lot.

"Don't worry, the radar detection system monitors the surrounding 100 kilometers area 24 hours a day."

"Well..."

At this time, CIC reported to Yang Hui and Baki Lulu excitedly: "Commander-in-chief, Captain, the general channel received a communication signal! This is... a human communication!"

"Play it directly!" Yang Hui and Baki Lulu were also a little excited when they heard that it was a human communication.

"Yes!"

CIC immediately played the received communication signal on the bridge. The electronic noise was very serious, but the sound of human speech could still be heard intermittently.

"Help... This is... Shelter No. 1... Under attack by Festum... Anyone is welcome... Help us..."

"When was this message sent?" Yang Hui immediately asked the CIC. It was clearly a distress message, but he didn't know if it was a residual communication or...

"It's real-time communication!"

"Correct the route, confirm the communication coordinates, and move forward at full speed! MS troops attack, [Flag Abschneiden (Cut)], [Luna Division (Split)] lead the team to go first!" Without Yang Hui saying anything, Buggy Lulu immediately issued an order and prepared to launch a rescue operation.

"Understood!" XN

...

"Run...Run!"

"Damn it! These damn monsters! They've clearly...clearly taken so much from us...why are they still..."

"They haven't appeared for so long, why are they attacking us now!?"

"It's over...everything is over..."

The simple shelter, the camp built with materials found everywhere like a doomsday novel, the walls made of various abandoned cars and containers, the houses made of wooden and iron plates, the ragged clothes, the pale and skinny refugees, some collapsed on the ground in despair, some fled in despair and a little bit of luck, and some picked up simple weapons to fight back.

But there is only one big tone, that is despair.

With the arrival of the alien Festum army, the golden ocean destroyed human civilization and killed many people. They survived by chance and struggled to live. Then they met by chance. Slowly, more and more people formed groups and began to build places to settle down. Only then did simple shelters rise from the ground.

It was a very hard life, completely different from the human life in the past, but at least... there was a glimmer of hope and they could continue to live. Since the attack that destroyed civilization, Festum did not appear in their sight again, nor did it attack them again, which made them think that the end of the world had passed and a new future opened its arms to them.

Who knew... this hard-won hope was shattered again with the appearance of the golden monster, and everyone recalled that day, the desperate nightmare.

"What is that..."

Suddenly, someone saw a shining point of light in the distant sky, which became brighter and bigger. The next second... a thick purple-black torrent split the sky in two, suddenly split into countless streams, accurately hit the monster chasing them, and then... faded, turned into ash, and disappeared.

Soon, another meteor came, and the sharp blade of the arm sometimes cut and killed, and sometimes the ray shot through Festum.

Then, several more meteors came from afar, followed by a huge warship, wantonly slaughtering the monster that made them desperate.

"Far... Farrna... How could it be... Farrna!?"
