Chapter 145 Escape

Seven or eight hours passed after Chen Ming and Bai Quan finished communicating.

Chen Ming's two cruisers made considerable progress in the material transportation work.

Especially in Huiyao, because there are fewer colonies, and the most important colony is the colony of energy crystal crabs, the types of industrial facilities there tend to use clean energy.

The operating costs of these industrial equipment are relatively high, and the output is relatively low, which is difficult to use in a colony in the early stages of development.

So Chen Ming gave up these equipment, he didn't need them now.

Therefore, the remaining parts were transported very quickly, and so far they have all been transported by the Colossus and the cargo fleet.

From Yuhui individuals to some high-level equipment that cannot be separated, everything has been transported away.

Even Chen Ming successfully obtained the energy crystal crab breeding technology from the energy crystal crab colony.

And a large movable ecological breeding cabin.

In a breeding cabin, there is a whole batch of about thousands of energy crystal crabs, and more than ten thousand energy crystal crab eggs.

Although the overall shape is an ellipsoid the size of a human head, the eggs are still quite angular, and like the crystal shell of the energy crystal crab, they exude a crystal color.

It looks very eye-catching.

Chen Ming feels that this breeding chamber should be built by Yu Hui in order to spread the population of energy crystal crabs, so as to carry out long-distance transportation of the entire small ecosystem.

If this thing had no special value to Chen Ming in the past, he would at most sell it.

But for Chen Ming now, the value of this breeding chamber is far more than that.

But it is too early to think about these things now.

There are still several batches of materials waiting to be transported on Huihuang's side.

Because Huiyao has completed the work, it also came to help transport several times.

So the whole relocation process can be said to be nearing the end, about half a day faster than Chen Ming expected, and there was almost no interference.

This is the benefit of high efficiency and arrangements and plans in advance.

But there is still a problem in front of Chen Ming.

His mental strength is about to fail.

Especially at the end, it was becoming increasingly difficult to sustain mental power.

Although Chen Ming's mental power consumption for repairing the jump engine did not increase, his physical feeling was not the same.

Assuming that a thing consumes 20% of energy, then doing it when you have 100% of energy is completely different from doing it when you only have 30% of energy.

Although the consumption of repairing the jump engine is not that great, the meaning is the same.

Chen Ming now feels this way.

And according to Chen Ming's rough estimate.

If he continues to find a way to transport all the remaining supplies, then his own plan to evacuate later will be at risk.

So now, just in case, he would rather give up the last batch of supplies that he didn't have time to transport.

Anyway, the most valuable things have been sent away at the first time.

The materials that can support the early development of the colony have also been sent away.

It would be icing on the cake if he can get the remaining things, but it doesn't matter if he can't get them.

After confirming this situation, Chen Ming changed his plan directly.

He said to Huihuang, who was adjusting the remaining Yuhui cargo ships to form a fleet: "No need to continue transporting supplies. Let the engineering ships start dismantling the cores on those cargo ships and transport them together."

"This is the last batch."

"Received."

Huihuang immediately accepted Chen Ming's order to change the plan and began to readjust the tasks assigned to each Yuhui individual.

From preparing the cargo fleet to cooperating with the few engineering ships to start dismantling the core, the whole process was very smooth without any unexpected accidents.

The period of time spent in the middle also allowed Chen Ming's mental strength to recover a little, and he should be able to maintain the jump engine once more.

Huihuang soon reorganized the reduced fleet.

After giving up the last few batches of supplies, the fleet was suddenly streamlined to the upper limit that a normal jump could carry.

As long as this last transportation is completed, except for a small part of the supplies that Chen Ming voluntarily gave up, the rest can basically be transported away successfully.

This is already a very unexpected, very pleasantly surprised, and very satisfactory result for Chen Ming.

After watching Huihuang leave, Chen Ming withdrew his gaze from it.

He should also prepare for the final evacuation at this time.

At this time, it was already midnight of the next day.

Chen Ming had not slept for more than forty hours.

He kept his mental power highly concentrated throughout the whole process so that he could repair Huihuang and Huiyao as soon as possible.

Even if he kept his eyes closed in bed for disguise, he did not dare to be distracted for a moment, otherwise he might fall asleep at any time.

Fortunately, it was the final stage and he no longer needed to lie on the bed.

Chen Ming got off the bed and went to the bathroom.

Looking at the mirror, he saw heavy black circles on his face, and he was no longer as energetic as he was a few days ago.

His eyes, which were full of spirit, were now a little dim.

At the same time, because he had no energy to take care of himself, he looked messy.

No matter how young or energetic he was, no one could bear not sleeping or resting, and consuming a lot of mental energy.

His brain was full of sleepiness and fatigue.

But he couldn't sleep yet, as he hadn't reached a safe environment yet.

Chen Ming didn't dare to stimulate himself with the crazy words stone, fearing that he would faint if he was stimulated.

He could only wash his face with ice water, and pinch himself and bite the tip of his tongue to force himself to wake up.

After doing these things.

Brilliant had already arrived at the target galaxy with the last batch of ships carrying almost all the remaining afterglow cores.

Only a very small number of afterglow individuals were left in the original galaxy because they needed to continue to communicate with the outside world and pretend that everything was normal in the galaxy.

This was also a necessary loss.

It is precisely because of these losses that no large-scale fleet has come to investigate the Brilliant Star Region so far.

After Brilliant arrived at the target galaxy, Chen Ming began to repair its jump engine as before.

At the same time, Chen Ming no longer pretended to be insomniac these two days.

He chose to put on a set of protective clothing manually, rather than using the mentally consuming method of making it.

He took Xiao Shi with him, and after confirming that there was nothing missing from the institute, he moved to the gate of the institute with varying depths.

After G3's death, although Brilliant is still temporarily in charge of Chen Ming's affairs at the institute, the authority of the institute is now in the hands of Yu Hui's senior management.

Therefore, when Chen Ming came to the gate, the gate was completely closed, blocking Chen Ming's route out.

Then a mechanical voice sounded.

It was not Brilliant, but a new Yu Hui's voice.

"Mr. Chen Ming, it should be time for a break now. What do you want to do?"

"Where's Huihuang?"

Yu Hui, who was communicating with Chen Ming, asked unexpectedly, "How did you hear that I'm not Huihuang?"

Obviously, Yu Hui and Chen Ming communicated through mechanical voices, and the mechanical voices didn't have any special intonations. At most, there were differences in language habits between different individuals.

But Chen Ming heard that it was not Huihuang just by saying Chen Ming's name and a question, which made him very curious.

"I think it's obvious."

Chen Ming's answer was very idealistic, but he could tell, and he didn't know why.

"Okay, then what do you want to do wearing this? Can you answer?"

"Where's Huihuang first?"

"It's just a rotation of tasks. I'm responsible for taking over Huihuang's work."

"It's you in the future?"

"Yes."

Chen Ming didn't show any expression on the surface, but he already knew what was going on.

There was obviously something wrong with what Yu Hui said.

Because Huihuang had been communicating with him, if there was such a handover, they would have told him long ago, and it was impossible for him to find it out by himself.

Chen Ming guessed that Yuhui had discovered the problem with Huihuang's galaxy.

They were planning to investigate Huihuang, so it was impossible for them to inform Huihuang.

Then it was impossible for them to let the biggest suspect Chen Ming leave the institute at will.

It seemed that even if he did nothing in the next two days, Yuhui would soon react to what happened in the galaxy.

Chen Ming was out of time.

But fortunately, he had already started the final stage.

Chen Ming nodded to the answer of this high-level individual of Yuhui and said, "I know."

The next moment, he instantly controlled all the equipment in the entire institute.

From inside to outside, nothing was missed.

Even the giant mechanical bodies parked underground were all controlled by him. There was nothing near the institute that could threaten his life in the short term.

It was a pity that the Qiling Neural Extractor was taken to another place on the planet when Yuhui cleaned up the Clone Institute before, and it has not been transported back yet.

Maybe the cultivation of the second spiritual awakening nerve has not been completed, or maybe he does not want to give Chen Ming the opportunity to contact it again.

Chen Ming can only give up this thing temporarily now.

However, the spiritual awakening nerve extractor is not the only one in the world. This is a device that Yu Hui found from the ruins of another civilization. He will have a chance to find it in the future.

Chen Ming no longer lingers. After completely controlling the research institute and disconnecting the other Yu Hui's control rights.

He knows that Yu Hui must be getting anxious now.

So he immediately opened the door, quickened his pace, and walked out of the research institute.

There are two frigate-level spacecraft approaching rapidly outside. These are the spacecrafts that Yu Hui uses to keep an eye on him.

However, just behind Chen Ming, four giant mechanical bodies that had once opposed him rushed out like mad dogs.

They rushed towards the approaching spacecraft in pairs, not giving them the opportunity to interfere with Chen Ming.

The hydraulic devices of the four giant mechanical bodies burst out with terrifying power output, driving their huge bodies to crash into the speeding spacecraft.

They knocked it away, and directly took the opportunity to wrap around the spacecraft like a nimble creature, with fierce electric arcs bursting out of their bodies.

They instantly paralyzed and destroyed two spacecrafts.

They directly used huge mechanical claws to tear the armor of the spacecraft into pieces, violently dismantled the core device installed inside, and sent it to Chen Ming.

The whole process took only a dozen seconds.

Chen Ming had just arrived next to the Buffalo class.

In addition to the two destroyed spacecraft, it would take at least a minute for other Yuhui spacecraft to come over.

No one could stop him.

Chen Ming dismantled the devices outside the two gamma-class cores and put the cores in his pocket.

At this time, he was standing in front of the hatch opened by the Buffalo, and suddenly raised his head to look at the sky.

Although he could not see it with the naked eye, Chen Ming knew that there must be a senior executive of Yuhui observing him through the satellite.

In addition, he saw the light spots in the space that turned from dark to bright and continued to strengthen.

That was the satellite weapon that turned its direction in the circumstellar orbit and aimed at the surface of the planet.

Chen Ming was not panicked at all.

Because in the next moment, there was a jump wave above Chen Ming's head.

A huge ship of the kilometer class appeared out of thin air.

The Brilliant Class unmanned cruiser has arrived on the surface of the planet.

It used itself to protect the institute and Chen Ming under it.

Its shield also unfolded, and while the shield that almost covered the sky above Chen Ming's head gradually unfolded, the satellite weapons in the space were gradually shutting down.

It was impossible for only one or two satellite weapons to penetrate the shield of a cruiser in good condition.

And all the spacecraft around that were approaching Chen Ming also stopped moving.

Everything made sense when Brilliance appeared here with its Brilliance class.

The whole picture of the matter has been revealed to the entire Yuhui.

Without the support of the cruiser, rashly approaching would only result in the wreckage of another spaceship.

Even blocking it could not be stopped.

Chen Ming walked onto the Buffalo class safely.

Coming to the empty cargo hold of the Buffalo class, in addition to the cryo-hibernation escape pods that had been placed here, there was still a lot of space on the spacecraft.

So Chen Ming conveniently converted all the research and work equipment in the institute that was useful to him or of high value to the cargo hold of the Buffalo class.

The time was almost up, and Chen Ming had sensed the appearance of a cruiser-class spacecraft inside the galaxy through the sensors of the Brilliance class.

It was time to leave.

The engine of the Buffalo class started, keeping a close distance with the Brilliance class.

In the characteristic blur and flicker of the jump engine resonance, Chen Ming disappeared on the surface of the planet.

Next was the final stage of the plan.

Chen Ming knew that the most critical part had just begun.

He cheered up.

In front of the Buffalo class, the purpose of his jump appeared, the galaxy located at the border between Yuhui and the mechanical race.

There was already a newly formed fleet waiting here, ready to fight at any time.

As for the target of the battle, it could only be Yuhui himself.

Chen Ming did not stay for long, just took a look at the fleet and repaired the jump engine of the Brilliant class.

At the same time, the second jump was started.

For the second jump, Chen Ming also chose a relatively close location, just in Yuhui's star field.

It was even the galaxy that Brilliant, who was controlled by Chen Ming, had previously managed.

Brilliant did not refute Chen Ming's request, but just executed it normally and arrived here.

The entire galaxy now looks empty.

Although Yuhui had doubts before, it had not reached the point of large-scale investigation. Although Chen Ming took the initiative to defect, he did not react so quickly.

Brilliant casually destroyed several spacecraft that entered its weapon range, and waited for Chen Ming to repair its jump engine.

Then it jumped again and left here.

Although Chen Ming's actions seemed completely meaningless.

But at a level that cannot be observed by the naked eye, the traces left inside and outside the galaxy by Huihuang's previous control of the cruiser to jump have been disturbed by the traces left by Chen Ming's jump here.

No one, no afterglow can track the whereabouts of the fleet here through the traces left by the jump engine.

Therefore, Chen Ming chose the galaxy of the Energy Crystal Crab as the target of the third jump.

After arriving, there was not even a spacecraft for investigation.

Chen Ming easily repeated the previous operation.

Arrival, maintenance, jump.

The traces left by Huiyao were also completely disrupted.

After the fourth jump, Chen Ming returned to the edge of the border galaxy again.

He couldn't just rush in now.

Just as he thought, a battle was breaking out inside the galaxy at this time.

It's not accurate to say it was a battle.

Because Yu Hui dispatched the radiation-class unmanned battleships, and was unilaterally slaughtering the Yu Hui fleet that was stationed here to block Chen Ming's subsequent tracking.

All the ships that dared to be in space had no room to struggle when facing the main battleships, and could only rely on the heavy defense array on the surface of the planet to barely support in front of the radiation-class.

Chen Ming didn't expect that Yu Hui could call the main battleship so quickly. It seemed that he was angry, and very angry.

Fortunately, the fleet here did not notice the sudden brilliance outside the galaxy.

Even if they noticed them, they would not have time to come.

Before entering the range of those ships, Chen Ming could directly make the next jump.

However, Chen Ming also knew that Yu Hui was not tracking him The fleet that was fighting here.

The fleet here was just suppressing.

The real tracking fleet should have just been attracted to the interior of the star field.

Chen Ming covered up the traces of Brilliant and Glory, but his own traces still exist, which gives Yuhui the possibility to track him.

The tracking troops should be here soon.

They do not have the ability to quickly repair and cool down the jump engine quickly, so they can only rely on the cruiser to jump alone to explore the way.

Find Chen Ming's traces, send back the message, send the next one, and then continue to track.

Until Chen Ming is found.

It's okay for Chen Ming to keep jumping, but once he stops, he will inevitably be attacked by a large number of Yuhui fleets that have jumped.

He has no time to stay, as long as his mental strength can hold up, he must continue to go.

Chen Ming repaired the Brilliant-class jump engine again.

During the repair time, Chen Ming did not pay too much attention to the situation in the galaxy, nor did he care that he might have lost another Alpha-class individual.

Instead, he contacted Bai Quan through the terminal and asked, "How is the situation over there?"

Bai Quan replied quickly: "We only have one battleship to support us, and Yu Hui's reaction and intensity of reaction are much worse than before."

"Our battle is still going on, and I need to create more results."

Chen Ming looked at the ongoing massacre in the distance.

Obviously, he helped Bai Quan share some of the pressure, allowing Bai Quan to gain an advantage on the battlefield.

And the battleship that Bai Quan came to support also helped him share some of the pressure now.

"Okay, you can tell me if you need it. There are also some Yu Hui controlled by me in your target."

"Understood, thank you."

Chen Ming ended the communication.

He looked at the massacre happening in front of him intently.

This is actually part of Yu Hui's crazy counterattack against Chen Ming, and it is also within Chen Ming's previous expectations.

Just thinking that a Yu Hui covering an entire star field became like this because of him, and countless Yu Hui with self-awareness died just like this.

Chen Ming couldn't help but say to Huihuang: "I can't bring out the remaining Yuhui individuals. They are all beyond my ability. They will suffer heavy losses."

"Think of the worst result. You may have a large-scale internal purge and a larger-scale massacre later."

"Will you blame me for killing so many Yuhui?"

Huanghuang was not shaken by Chen Ming's question. Instead, he said more firmly: "What I am doing now is to preserve the existence of Yuhui as a whole."

"There will be individuals who don't understand, and there will also be individuals who sacrifice. This is inevitable."

"If necessary, I can also sacrifice for this."

After hearing Huihuang's words, Chen Ming completely let go of his pity for conscious life.

Because he also knew that this was meaningless.

The real pity is that he will speed up the pace of development until one day all Yuhui is completely under his control.

Chen Ming relaxed a little and said jokingly: "You are an Alpha-level Yuhui, you want to sacrifice me but I am reluctant."

However, Huihuang did not cooperate with Chen Ming's plan at this time. Instead, he said seriously: "Those individuals who survived this massacre can continue to lurk."

"As long as there is one individual still alive, the scope of your influence will increase again until the entire star field is controlled by you."

"Although it is very difficult and takes a long time, at least it is still going on."

"Unless Yuhui commits suicide, it will never be possible to completely find all the individuals controlled by Chen Ming in this lifetime"

"The ending of this star field is already doomed, just like before."

"It's just that the ending has changed."

"If you had not contacted us through Gamma A and survived the people chasing you, but had returned normally through the human route, all this might not have happened now."

"And our demise might have come earlier."

Chen Ming knew that Huihuang was referring to what they had talked about before, so he said, "Maybe it's not demise."

"But it's better to be demise. The concept of humanity as a whole is different from yours. I believe my choice is right."

"I believe it too."

"Wait a minute."

While talking to Huihuang, Chen Ming suddenly noticed something inside the galaxy where the battle was taking place in front.

The administrator of this galaxy, the Flicker-class unmanned cruiser controlled by the Alpha-class Afterglow individual, was not destroyed, but paralyzed in a corner of the galaxy and detached from the battlefield.

Chen Ming immediately opened the panel and flipped it over, and found that the Alpha-class Afterglow was still displayed on the panel and had not disappeared.

It seemed that there was still a chance of rescue.

Although Chen Ming's consciousness was a little fuzzy, he still quietly repaired the paralyzed engine of the Flicker-class.

At the same time, he quickly explained a few of his impromptu arrangements to the Alpha-class Yuhui, who had been stationed in the border galaxy of Yuhui for many years.

About half a minute later, the paralyzed Flicker-class suddenly showed signs of a jump.

It was seen that it completed a short-distance jump in an instant.

This warship, which was almost completely paralyzed and only the newly repaired engine could operate, appeared next to the Brilliant-class.

Accompanied by the arrival of the Flicker-class unmanned cruiser mothership.

Other jump fluctuations also appeared at a distance from the Brilliant-class.

The Yuhui fleet chasing Chen Ming followed the jump traces he left before.

There is a main battleship suppressing here, so there must be at least one main battleship chasing him. There is no reason to say that chasing Chen Ming is less important than dealing with other miscellaneous soldiers.

And the fleet inside the galaxy also noticed the direction of the Flicker-class jump at this time and found Chen Ming wandering outside the galaxy.

Then he should leave too.

The Brilliant class activated the jump engine, resonated with the almost disabled Twinkle class engine, and disappeared outside the galaxy together.

Chen Ming now actually has several different options.

For example, he can jump directly to the maximum distance that the jump engine can jump.

As long as he can jump twice, all Yuhui's cruisers will no longer have the possibility to track him.

Only the main battleship can continue to find a way to locate Chen Ming.

But the main battleship's jump engine is not infinite.

So, if Chen Ming does this now, he will be safe.

But he didn't do this, instead he jumped to the direction of the Galo galaxy closer to humans.

And when the jump is over, the engine is repaired and ready for the next jump.

Chen Ming set the jump target location in the galaxy of the pirate space station.

Chen Ming obviously didn't think that a small pirate space station could stop Yuhui's main battleship.

Because the space station was almost destroyed by several Yuhui's cruisers before.

But the request for him to go to the Pirate Space Station was made by the boss, whose home was on the Pirate Space Station.

So he chose to believe the boss.

Chen Ming's deliberate behavior gave Yu Hui the possibility to track him.

However, in order to disguise himself, he would directly enter the hyperspace every time the jump engine needed to be repaired after each jump, and use the hyperspace to move a distance to interfere with Yu Hui's tracking.

Although he could not get rid of their tracking, he did delay his steps and gave the group of Yu Hui who were tracking him the illusion that he wanted to escape but could not.

When Chen Ming's last jump arrived at the star system of the Pirate Space Station, and he saw the Pirate Space Station in person.

In the distance, about one-third of the star system away from Chen Ming, there appeared traces of the jump engine tracking.

Yu Hui got rid of the interference that Chen Ming had just set up and directly tracked Chen Ming's target.

If Chen Ming was not prepared this time, he might have died here before he could repair it.

But fortunately, Chen Ming was prepared.

He picked up the terminal, found the boss, and said, "Boss, I'm back!"

"I saw it."

At the moment when Yuhui's main fleet led by the radiation class jumped out.

A huge psychic wave came from the pirate space station.

It swept across the entire galaxy.
