Seven days after the stone sculpture was reproduced on time.
"I really can't even get rid of the jump."
Lin Yang was also a little shocked by the weirdness and power of this statue.
Each time it appears it is in the same state, is static, and can be directly bypassed.
Logically speaking, after going around it, the stone sculpture would be left behind.
But every time I encountered this statue, it appeared directly in front of the warship.
This is still the case even in a state of continuous leaping, which completely rules out the possibility that the stone sculpture is constantly chasing and moving behind.
Because several experiments had been conducted before, on the seventh day, before the stone sculpture appeared, the spacecraft began to comprehensively scan all the areas that could be scanned in front and behind.
However, even in the last second before the stone sculpture appeared, no statues could be detected around it, and the stone sculpture always appeared out of thin air in front of him.
There was even one time when 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 it from a distance, but he did not see the stone sculpture halfway.
Now that the same phenomenon persists after the jump, it can at least be fully proved that one of the following mechanisms of the stone sculpture is the use of some currently unknown power. No matter how far the person being followed moves, as long as he is still in an unknown space, the stone sculpture can accurately lock onto the person and make him appear instantly.
This is a rather strange and terrifying method.
"The stone sculpture can still accurately follow the super long-distance jump of seven days. What kind of power is this!"
Lin Yang exclaimed.
This is simply an unimaginable ability.
Afterwards, he stopped paying too much attention to the statue and went into hibernation as well.
When we arrive at the fifth district to support the fifth group, we will have to engage in a big battle, and it will be difficult to rest then.
Take advantage of the remaining time to recuperate and gather strength so that they can fight against the unknown life forms that attacked the fifth group.
Time flies and more than thirty days have passed.
"Attention, crew members. We have arrived at the target area. This super jump has ended."
The voice of the Suzaku intelligent system was heard from within the battleship.
Immediately afterwards, Lin Yang and others woke up and walked out of the hibernation capsule one by one.
"arrive!"
Everyone entered combat mode in an instant.
"Suzaku, re-locate the source of the distress signal." Lin Yang instructed.
Now we need to confirm whether the fifth group of battleships 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. We have relocated the fourth group of battleships through wartime authorization. We are now three days away from the location of the fourth group of battleships. Do you want to start the hyper jump again?"
Lin Yang frowned.
The original signal source was destroyed, which meant that the battleship of Group 5 had been destroyed.
"It's been more than 30 days. It's normal for the warship to be destroyed." Que Tian said slowly.
Lin Yang nodded: "Then make another super jump and head to the fourth group of battleships."
"Suzaku received the message. The hyper jump mode has been restarted. It will enter the hyper jump state in thirty seconds."
"By the way, Suzaku, have you not located the equipment of the fifth team members or other people's equipment?" Lin Yang asked again.
He saw no other signal sources from the positioning system.
There is only the red dot representing the fourth group of battleships.
This is not normal.
When entering a state of war, all team members will activate their combat equipment positioning.
Now that we can locate the battleship of the fourth group, it means that the fourth group has already provided support in advance. In addition to the battleship itself, we can also locate the equipment of each member.
But now the members’ personal equipment information cannot be retrieved, which is a bit strange.
"Captain, we can only locate the fourth group of warships for now," Suzaku replied.
"This..." Lin Yang suddenly had a bad premonition.
As the saying goes, when things go wrong, there must be a monster.
This abnormal phenomenon probably means that other accidents and troubles may occur.
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 but speak.
"Let's hope so. Everyone should prepare for the next three days and wait until we reach the vicinity of the fourth group of warships to see what's going on."
As Lin Yang spoke, he sent a message to the fourth group through the group interconnection device to inquire about the situation.
The distance between the two sides is now very close. At such a close distance, the transmission of messages should be able to be achieved in near real time.
However, the fourth group has not responded yet.
"This is very abnormal." Lin Yang frowned and sent messages to other groups.
Soon, the first and second teams responded, 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 his arrival so as to determine whether they needed to continue to provide additional support.
Except for the fourth, fifth and sixth groups, all other groups sent the same message.
Lin Yang was not surprised by this.
Because as early as when we entered the unknown space, we had given advance instructions about rescue.
Generally speaking, if one group encounters danger, the two adjacent groups can go to provide support.
This can ensure timely support and will not delay the exploration of other groups.
Unless the two adjacent groups are still unable to resolve the current crisis after providing support, other groups will continue to provide additional support.
Their group is the third group, so logically, they don't need any support this time.
They just wanted to test the following mechanism of the stone statue, so they joined the support.
But now, the fourth, fifth and sixth groups cannot be contacted, which makes Lin Yang feel that the matter may be bigger.
As soon as the fifth group sent out a call for help, the fourth and sixth groups rushed to support.
Now that the fourth group has arrived, the sixth group should be almost here as well.
Even if it hasn't arrived yet, it shouldn't be too far away.
But now Suzaku can only locate the fourth group of warships, 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 group of warships at present, and cannot locate the equipment of other members."
"Therefore, our team speculates that the danger level may have escalated. Our team is jumping to the location of the fourth group of battleships and is expected to arrive at the fourth group of battleships in three days."
"If my team does not report the rescue information to you in time after three days, please go to support as appropriate, or exit the unknown space in time. There are new unknown dangers in the unknown space, including the strange statues my team encountered. New unknown crises may break out at any time. Please be aware of this."
As soon as Lin Yang finished speaking, Que Tian and the others looked over. Cai Fei asked in confusion, "Team Leader, what are you doing..."
Lin Yang looked at the endless darkness outside and said dimly, "In this situation, we need to give early warning to other groups. Groups 4, 5 and 6 cannot solve the danger together, and they can't even send us warning information in time. This is enough to show how serious the situation is!" "While we can still contact other groups, we must be cautious and make early warning arrangements to minimize unnecessary casualties. In case we really encounter troubles that are difficult to solve, we can also let them know the seriousness of the matter and leave the unknown space in time to request support from the strong men of the Alien Management Bureau."
Hearing this, Cai Fei immediately gave a thumbs up and said with emotion: "Team Leader, when it comes to stability, I admire you. You are too stable..."
Que Tian and the other two also nodded in agreement.
Now that we don’t even know the specific situation, Lin Yang directly makes arrangements for the worst outcome, which is indeed very safe.
"Get ready to fight."
Lin Yang didn't say much.
……
three days later.
"arrive!"
As the Suzaku stopped its jump, Lin Yang and his companions immediately prepared for battle.
At this moment, the lights on the fourth group of warships can be seen from afar.
During these three days, due to the precise positioning lock, Suzaku directly jumped to the position closest to the fourth group of warships.
Now the fourth group of warships can be seen through the portholes.
At this time, the fourth group of warships were still sailing towards the depths of unknown space.
"It's really strange. Normally, they should know that we have come to support them. Why don't they let the warships take the initiative to join us? Instead, they continue to sail deeper. In the past three days, they have no intention of meeting us halfway."
Looking at the fourth group of warships approaching, Cai Fei couldn't help but speak.
"I don't know, but no matter what, the support has arrived. Let's land directly and try to get close to the fourth battleship and continue to establish a link."
Lin Yang shook his head and asked Suzaku to move closer.
As for the question Cai Fei mentioned, they had actually been very confused about it over the past three days.
After all, under normal circumstances, if one knows that reinforcements are coming, he or she will definitely try every means to get closer to the direction of the reinforcements so as to meet up as soon as possible.
But the fourth group of warships continued to sail towards the depths.
This is obviously 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 provide timely feedback after their arrival.
Now the strange situation of the fourth group must also be reported in a timely manner.
However, as the message was being sent, it soon showed that it had failed to be sent!
"Hmm? Failed to send?" Lin Yang couldn't help but look serious. "Suzaku, the battleship information network and equipment are not functioning properly?"
"Captain, everything is normal."
Zhuque gave a normal answer.
"Normal? Why can't the message be sent?" Lin Yang frowned.
"Perhaps, it was interfered by an unknown force or magnetic field." Que Tian said, "Perhaps 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, they were affected by this magnetic field or force."
Lin Yang looked at him: "Have you met this 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 about to witness something new. In the records of the Abnormal Management Bureau, we have never encountered such a situation where we could not send messages. At most, the delay will be a little longer." Lin Yang said.
In the vast universe, there are indeed some places with special magnetic fields that can interfere with or even block signals.
But rarely.
Even rarer are those that can affect communications at the ninth level of civilization.
And I have never encountered it in the unknown space.
Whether it is transmitting information to the outside world or sending information to other teams in unknown space, there has never been such a failure in sending.
At best, the transmission speed is very slow.
Now it directly shows that the sending failed. This is the first time I have encountered this.
"Team leader, this is obviously wrong. Do we really need to continue landing?" Cai Fei asked hesitantly.
They were so close, and if the fourth group didn't reply to the message, they couldn't pass the message to other groups, which was equivalent to a name tag indicating that they had encountered new unknown dangers.
It's too risky to go any closer.
Not robust at all.
Lin Yang said in a deep voice: "The support has already arrived. If we retreat now, won't all our efforts be wasted?"
Que Tian also nodded and said, "Team Leader is right. The main reason we came all the way here is to provide support. We should at least understand what dangers they have encountered and what the current situation is."
Yuan Hao glanced at Cai Fei and teased, "What? Are you scared? If you are scared, go hide in the escape chamber first."
"…Fuck? I'm scared? Are you kidding?" Cai Fei was instantly anxious. "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!"
"... Stop arguing between you two. After the warships dock, I will land first and you will wait on Suzaku. If the situation is unusual, just disconnect and run. If I don't get out in time, 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 log in first? How can that be? Let me go first." Cai Fei was stunned.
He just likes to make little jokes, but when something really happens, he will be very decisive.
"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 person in the group, he must lead by example.
This is also the responsibility that the team leader should bear.
"Team leader, I'll go with you." Que Tian suddenly said, "If we work together, we'll have a better chance of escaping if we really run into 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 moment of hesitation, he nodded and said, "Okay, then we'll land together later."
Although he was the champion in the last Universe Competition, it was obvious that Que Tian's strength was still reserved.
It is indeed safer for two people to work together.
After that, Lin Tian reminded Cai Fei and the other two, "Since it is impossible to pass on information now, within the first ten minutes after Que Tian and I enter, no matter what the situation is, someone will come out to inform us on time."
"If neither of us comes out after the first ten minutes, it means the danger is beyond our control. Don't hesitate, just run. Once you are out of the signal interference shielding area, tell other teams not to provide support anymore and get away from the unknown space as soon as possible."
When he and Que Tian join forces, their fighting power is already the best among this group of fifty people. If even the two of them can't escape, then there is not much point in other groups coming.
"Roger that!"
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 equipment and rushed towards the fourth battleship at high speed.
However, at the moment the hatch was opened, a face suddenly appeared on a porthole of the fourth battleship and shouted at them.
But no sound was heard.
It can only be vaguely seen from the shape of his mouth that this person is shouting:
"Don't open the cabin!"
