Chapter 294: Wormhole Again

After getting rid of the pursuit of the Zerg, the Red Dragon was also at the point of exhaustion.

Fortunately, although Qiao Shan led the fleet to evacuate first, he never left the Red Dragon far behind. Instead, he sent reconnaissance ships back from time to time to check on Qi Yiming's situation.

So the Red Dragon quickly reunited with the fleet after successfully getting rid of the pursuit of the Zerg.

When Qiao Shan returned to the bridge of the Red Dragon again and saw Qi Yiming, who looked haggard, he knew that Qi Yiming had tried his best to get rid of the pursuit of the Zerg, but fortunately the result was still good.

"I don't know if Sister Ye and the others left a tracking beacon for me?" Qiao Shan asked about the situation of the colonial fleet that was remotely sent away after confirming safety again and again.

"Don't worry, the route is determined! We just need to catch up..." Qi Yiming said casually, then got up and left his seat and continued to say to Qiao Shan: "You are in charge of the command, I'm going to take a rest! I'm really exhausted recently."

Qiao Shan nodded, and without saying much, he sat directly on the captain's chair and replaced Qi Yiming.

Two days later, on the bridge of the Red Dragon...

Qi Yiming slept for two days. When he came to the bridge again, the fleet had already entered the jump channel and rushed to the next rest point on the route.

Qi Yiming did not immediately take over the command from Qiao Shan, but opened the star map and studied it alone.

After being sent, Ye Lu and the others did not wait for Qi Yiming in place, but commanded the fleet to accelerate and enter the jump channel immediately, which was Qi Yiming's request.

If the colonial fleet acted according to Qi Yiming's request, then at this time, the fleet led by Qi Yiming would be about 200 to 330 light years away from the colonial spacecraft.

This distance is not short or long, because the fleet led by Qi Yiming can reach more than 400 light years in a super long-distance jump, so it is only a matter of time to catch up with Ye Lu and the others.

What Qi Yiming is afraid of is that the Zerg is not only besieging their fleet, but also not letting go of the colonial fleet that has been sent away.

So they didn't dare to delay too long along the way. Every time they arrived at a rest point, as long as the jump engines of all the warships were cooled, the entire fleet would continue on the road under Qi Yiming's urging.

It took the fleet more than ten years to catch up with the colonial fleet. During this period, Qi Yiming and Qiao Shan took turns to take a short hibernation.

When the escort fleet appeared in Ye Lu's vision, she was shaking with excitement.

When the news spread, ordinary people in the three colonial spaceships began to celebrate spontaneously.

The atmosphere in the colonial spaceships has been very depressing for more than ten years.

Although people's daily lives are the same as usual, there is no life on people's faces when walking on the street. Everyone seems to have lost their souls.

Everyone knows that if the escort fleet really can't come back, then their severely reduced fleeing fleet will sooner or later be caught up by the Zerg.

Now the escort fleet has returned in one piece, and it seems that the loss is not great. How can this not make everyone happy?

But when Qi Yiming found Ye Lu and the others at another rest point on the route, the colonial fleet had no intention of setting off immediately, which made Qi Yiming very angry.

Qi Yiming had clearly told them not to stay for too long when sending them, and to set sail as soon as the jump engine had completed cooling, and the fleet could run as far as it could, but now it had stopped.

When he was about to contact Ye Lu to ask her why she stopped the fleet, Ye Lu sent a communication request first.

Before Qi Yiming could ask, Ye Lu threw a picture to Qi Yiming.

Ye Lu knew Qi Yiming's temper, so she didn't give Qi Yiming a chance to speak at the beginning.

Qi Yiming curiously observed the picture sent by Ye Lu, but the next moment his pupils shrank: "This... is this a wormhole? Where was it found? Has it been detected?"

"Sister Pearl has taken people to explore it personally. You arrived just a few days after setting out."

"Where is the wormhole?"

"It is about 15 light years away from us."

"How did you find it?"

"After the delivery, we did not stop at the first two rest points. From the third rest point, Sister Pearl felt that it was necessary to send out an advance fleet to confirm the safety of the front before the fleet could continue to move forward, so we resumed the previous fleet sailing plan, but the stay time was shortened from the original six months to two weeks."

Qi Yiming nodded and affirmed their approach.

Ye Lu continued, "After arriving at this galaxy, we sent out the advance fleet as usual. They found it when they were eliminating anomalies."

"Have you sent anyone into the wormhole? Where will this wormhole lead to in the end?"

Ye Lu shook her head: "No one has been sent in yet. Sister Zhenzhu is going there this time to keep an eye on the scene before sending anyone in."

Qi Yiming looked at Qiao Shan: "You go back to the Hope, and be responsible for the management of the colonial fleet with Ye Lu. I'll leave the escort fleet to you. I'll take the Red Dragon to have a look. If it's a wormhole opened by the swarm, we can find a way to make the wormhole collapse in advance."

Soon, the Red Dragon began to speed up and left the rest point alone.

Half a month later, the Red Dragon appeared near the wormhole. He Zhenzhu had been observing here for nearly ten days.

It seems that nothing unusual happened, which made Qi Yiming feel a lot more at ease.

He connected the communication with He Zhenzhu: "How is the situation?"

"Are you all right? That's great... I'm still worried about what we should do if you can't get it out."

"It was safe." Qi Yiming said lightly, and then continued to ask about the situation of the wormhole.

"Two days ago, I sent a frigate through the wormhole, but it has not returned yet."

"Two days? So long? Did something happen?"

He Zhenzhu shook her head helplessly: "But we can rule out that this is a wormhole created by the Zerg Overlord. If it was a wormhole created by the Zerg, we might have all become the swarm's nutrients now."

Qi Yiming didn't say much. He Zhenzhu's judgment should be correct. Let's not talk about whether the Zerg has the ability to open a wormhole. Even if it has, the colonial fleet led by He Zhenzhu and others has already become the swarm's nutrients. How could they stand here and discuss the problem with Qi Yiming?

Qi Yiming carefully observed the wormhole for a while and asked again: "Has the stability of the wormhole been measured?"

"When I first arrived, I asked the scientific officer on board to measure it. This wormhole is very stable and can last for at least 100,000 years."

"Have you ever done an experiment to have a large mass of matter pass through a wormhole?"

"Because we are not sure what is on the other side of the wormhole, we haven't done it yet." He Zhenzhu glanced at Qi Yiming, who was a little excited on the communication screen: "What? Are you going to use this wormhole?"

Qi Yiming nodded. In fact, when he learned that a wormhole appeared on their route, he had a hunch that this wormhole would definitely help humans a lot.

Now we are waiting for the people sent by He Zhenzhu to come back and report the situation.
