In the void, a huge fleet was lined up in a neat queue, and the horizon could not be seen at a glance.

On the bridge of the flagship Yinglong, Li Lizhi was staying in front of a console, frowning.

This is already the fourth month since the fleet left Vita Defense Line and carried out the decisive operation of Tier 1 Queen Bug. Except for the two targets suspected of being Tier 1 Queen Bug a month ago, no other targets have been found for a whole month.

Now, this is the last stop of the Galactic System exploration plan, and the entire exploration phase has come to an end.

"Didn't you find it here?"

Looking at Li Lizhi who stopped, Li Cangqiong on the side asked.

"Yes, still nothing!"

"Since there are none here, they should be the two that were discovered before. Your mission is over, and you don't need to participate in subsequent battles. I will arrange a battleship to send you directly back to Vita Defense Line!"

Listening to his father's words, Li Lizhi opened his mouth slightly, but didn't say anything.

It's not that she doesn't want to leave, or that she wants to care about Li Cangqiong's safety, but

Li Lizhi always felt that he was missing something, but after thinking about it for a long time, he still had no answer.

Maybe I'm overthinking it!

Comforting myself in this way, I unknowingly followed the escort arranged by Li Cangqiong out of the bridge and headed towards the airport.

"Order all Fleet Commander to access the virtual combat conference room immediately!"

"Yes, Commander!"

Watching his daughter leave, Li Cangqiong was finally able to put down all his burdens, concentrate on arranging the battle plan, and end this four-month mission! ——

More than ten minutes later, a Shuttlecraft flew out of the Yinglong airport and approached a battleship not far away.

Inside the ship, Li Lizhi looked at the dark space outside the porthole with dull eyes, wondering what he was thinking!

"I understand, I finally understand what's wrong!"

Suddenly, her dull eyes became alert again. Li Lizhi suddenly stood up and said to herself in a loud voice for her.

"Send me back to my application number, immediately!"

After touching the control panel next to the seat, he said directly.

"Team Leader Li, the commander's order is"

"Order to get lost and send me back immediately. I have made a new discovery!"

Hearing the answer from the Shuttlecraft driver, Li Lizhi gritted his teeth and breathed out the fragrance.

"Okay, then I'll apply with Yinglong, please wait!"

"Hurry up!"

Two minutes later, Shuttlecraft returned to Yinglong's airport without any surprise.

After all, Li Lizhi said that she had made a new discovery, and Li Cangqiong had no reason to refuse her return. Anyway, no matter what the discovery was, it was enough to send her away before the battle, and it did not have to be now.

"Liz, what did you find?"

Soon, inside the bridge, Li Cangqiong asked as he watched Li Lizhi walking in quickly.

"I don't know yet, wait a moment!"

Returning to the console she had been using for four months, after one operation, a large amount of data streams reappeared in the air. Li Lizhi's eyes kept moving as the data changed!

"There is indeed a problem here!"

A few minutes later, while staring at the rapidly flashing data, Li Lizhi muttered to himself, and then the operation on his hand became faster, so fast that afterimages almost appeared!

"What did you find?"

Li Cangqiong had already arrived behind Li Lizhi, and happened to hear her muttering to herself, so she immediately asked.

"The place we once ignored, the area where no Zerg exists!"

"S7216 Area?"

There is no area where Zerg exists, Li Cangqiong does have an impression!

Speaking of which, since Hainiyeh formed a monitoring network using war bugs, there is no place in Galactic System that does not have war bugs except for the star field behind Vita Defense Line.

After all, what Hainiyeh created is an insect-powered interstellar surveillance network with no blind spots!

However, three months ago, an area without Zerg was indeed discovered, which was the S7216 Area mentioned by Li Cangqiong.

That time, after the "reconnaissance warship" cleared out a few Hainiyeh for monitoring bugs, the army came there using Hyperspace Navigation as usual.

After a period of investigation by Li Lizhi, there were no abnormalities within hundreds of light years around. However, what is interesting is that according to the detection of Space Radar at that time, there was no sign of war bugs more than 300 light years away from the army, that is, within S7216 Area.

You know, the Zerg are not like human battleships. You can use Space Radar to casually check the general situation of tens of thousands of light years. Even very detailed detection can be maintained at a terrifying distance of thousands of light years.

As for ordinary war bugs, their exploration range is only about 5 AU at most.

Therefore, in the monitoring network arranged by Hainiyeh, basically there will be a few war bugs every distance less than 10 AU to ensure that there are no dead ends.

But S7216 Area, within a few light years, there is not even a single insect, which is very strange.

At that time, Li Lizhi also conducted a focused inspection of that area, but still found nothing and nothing unusual.

In the end, the strangeness of S7216 could only be regarded as an accident, and the army then continued to the next location.

"Yes, it's S7216 Area!"

"When I checked that area before, I overlooked one thing!"

"Just because there is no biological energy, I ignored it. However, I ignored a very critical issue!"

"There are several Star Systems in S7216 Area!"

"Even if there is no biological energy body because there is no king insect, stars and planets all have energy. How is it possible that no energy reaction is detected in the entire area?"

"And now, I finally understand that in that area, the Zerg used a method unknown to us to conduct space shielding, making it impossible for us to detect anything!"

Speaking very fast, Li Lizhi stated his inference again!

Li Cangqiong then frowned.

If it is true as Li Lizhi said, then even if Tier 1 Queen Bug is not there, there is definitely something crucial to the Zerg hidden there.

Otherwise, why would you try so hard to hide within your own occupied area?

However, on the other hand, based on the information obtained so far, it is still more likely that it is the two king insects. After all, the energy is several steps stronger than Tier 3 Queen Bug, so it is very likely that it is Tier 1 Queen Bug.

And this new discovery of Li Lizhi, although very deliberate, there is no sign that there is a Tier 1 Queen Bug hidden there!

This battle must not be a surprise, it must be a hit, otherwise it will arouse Tier 1 Queen Bug's vigilance and run away to other galaxies in Mels Star Cluster, then the entire battle will be a complete failure!

Should I choose the two high-energy body king insects that have a higher chance, or...

What about choosing this suspicious S7216 Area?

Li Cangqiong It's so rare that it's hard to choose!
