Chapter 79 Reflections After the War
In the living room on the first floor of the villa behind the Fire Rock Beast, Duan Ming sat in the first seat, and the other core members of the family gathered in a circle. They all had unconcealable sadness on their faces.
"Each group should report on the battle situation."
Feng Xing stood up first, staring at the list in his hand, but he did not speak for a long time. Duan Ming understood that the members of the battleship group must have suffered a lot of casualties.
No one urged him, and after Feng Xing's emotions calmed down a little, he spoke.
"The electric kinetic energy systems of the two battleships were destroyed, the weapons and ammunition of the battleships were exhausted, 23 people were injured, and 77 people died."
After a short silence, Duan Ming raised his hand and motioned Feng Xing to sit down.
"What about the situation of the development base group?"
Everyone lowered their heads, and no one answered Duan Ming's question.
"I'm asking you about the situation of the development base group!"
When repeating it for the second time, Duan Ming's tone was obviously a little angry. Tang Yaqing stood up and walked to Duan Ming and sat down, putting her hand on Duan Ming's shoulder and whispered.
"The power system of the twelve development bases is completely damaged. Wu Yong is seriously injured and is being rescued."
Duan Ming tightened his hands on his knees. The twelve development bases and the twelve warriors of the Duan family are his family assets!
Looking up at Bai Xianglu, Bai Xianglu spoke without Duan Ming asking.
"All weapons and ammunition on the Fire Rock Beast have been consumed. Three people in the weapon control team were slightly injured. The injuries are controllable."
Compared with the previous two groups, this is already good news.
Leaning back on the sofa, Duan Ming closed his eyes and whispered, "Go and get busy, let me be alone."
After everyone looked at each other, they left the villa one after another. Tang Yaqing and Bai Xianglu looked at Duan Ming with concern.
"I'm fine, just a little tired, just take a break."
Hearing Duan Ming say this, the two women understood that they should give Duan Ming a space to think alone, and turned around and left the villa.
Duan Ming, leaning on the sofa, began to think about the sudden war in his mind.
Star beasts are not rare in various star regions in the universe, but such a large-scale group of star beasts is not common.
What on earth made them come together and attack him?
Thinking of this, Duan Ming thought of a person, perhaps that person could answer this question for himself.
Opening the friend list, Duan Ming dialed a number.
"The other party is busy, do you need to leave a message?"
The cold reminder sound synthesized by the system sounded, Duan Ming frowned slightly, hung up and dialed again.
For several times in a row, no one answered, just when Duan Ming was about to give up, a voice call request came.
"Are you okay, kid!"
The voice was connected, and the other party asked with concern, and Duan Ming's heart was warmed.
"Professor Dugu, I'm fine."
For such a large-scale group of star beasts to actively attack the human base, it is natural to ask the Earth Star Research Institute, and Duan Ming contacted Professor Dugu Er who helped him several times.
"How do you know I was attacked?"
"How do you know? The entire star field is in chaos now!"
Duan Ming was stunned when he heard Professor Dugu Er's answer. Could it be that he was not the only one attacked by the star beast group?
"Two hours ago, our research institute received more than a dozen reports. From the first to the sixth domain, there were large-scale star beast groups attacking the development base. I immediately wanted to contact you, but the call signal could not be connected. I knew you must have encountered the same situation."
"Professor Dugu, what is going on?"
Dugu Er was silent for a moment.
"For the time being, we have no clues. Maybe it's just an accidental incident that happened at the same time, or maybe..."
Dugu Er didn't say the rest, and Duan Ming didn't ask.
"Will this happen again?"
This is what Duan Ming cares about now!
"Not for the time being. Although we don't know how the star beasts appeared in the universe, the universe must also follow the law of conservation of energy. This time, the star beast group's sudden attack caused the death of a large number of star beasts. It will take a certain amount of time for them to reshape."
"I understand. If there is any news, please inform me as soon as possible so that I can prepare early."
After hanging up the voice call, Duan Ming sat on the sofa, thinking about another thing.
Although this was a sudden attack by the star beast group, they could not appear out of thin air. The entire Seventh Domain has patrol ships of the Earth Alliance and the Party. Didn't they find out the situation in advance?
Someone must be responsible for this matter, and in Duan Ming's opinion, the army and the party should bear the main responsibility!
With a cold face, Duan Ming dialed Captain Lindenwan's number. As soon as the call was connected, Lindenwan's extremely unexpected voice came from the other side.
"Duan Ming? You are not dead yet?"
No matter how you listen to this, it is a bit disappointing, and Lindenwan obviously also noticed this.
"No, I mean, are you okay?"
"Thank you for your concern, Captain. But shouldn't the military give my Duan family an explanation for this matter?"
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a moment. When the voice came again, it was Colonel Gu Li.
"Duan Ming? I'm Colonel Gu Li."
Duan Ming didn't say anything, but waited for Colonel Gu Li's next words.
"This incident happened too suddenly. When we found the star beast group, they were already very close to your area, so we didn't have time to notify you."
Duan Ming was obviously not very satisfied with Colonel Gu Li's explanation, so he still didn't say anything.
"Knowing that you are fine, I am relieved. What was the result of your war with the star beast group? Are there any remaining star beasts escaping?"
Duan Ming was silent again. After a long time, Colonel Gu Li's voice came for the third time.
"Alas! I believe your Duan family must have suffered a lot of losses this time. For this matter, our military will give you some compensation."
Duan Ming finally spoke back.
"I'll send you the list later."
Duan Ming hung up the voice call after saying just this simple sentence.
Lieutenant Colonel Gu Li was stunned. Captain Lindenwan asked, "What did Duan Ming say?"
"He dared to speak to me in an order!" Lieutenant Colonel Gu Li shouted angrily, then frowned.
"But I didn't expect that the Duan family could survive the raid of such a large group of star beasts. We still underestimated him. He must be very dissatisfied with us this time. No matter what kind of list he sends, as long as it's not too much, satisfy him."
Duan Ming hung up the call, stood up from the sofa, and said to the family voice chat group.
"Each group will prepare a list of weapons and equipment that cannot be repaired and construction equipment and send it to me."
