In the void, the massive fleet was lined up neatly. It stretched as far as the eye could see.
In the bridge of the flagship Yinglong, Li Lizi was sitting in front of a control panel with a frown.
This was the fourth month since the fleet left the Vita Defense Line and carried out the mission to kill the Class 1 King Zerg. Other than the two suspected Class 1 King Zerg a month ago, they had not found any other targets in the past month.
Now, this was the last stop of the Gar Galaxy exploration plan. The entire exploration phase had come to an end.
"You didn't find anything here?"
Li Cangqiong asked when he saw Li Lizi stop.
"Yes, still nothing!"
"Since there's nothing here, it should be the two we found before. Your mission is over. You don't have to participate in the next battle. I'll arrange for a battleship to send you back to the Vita Defense Line!"
Hearing her father's words, Li Lizi opened her mouth slightly but didn't say anything.
It was not that she didn't want to leave, nor was it that she cared about Li Cangqiong's safety. It was just that …
Li Lizi still felt like she missed something, but she could not find an answer.
[Maybe … I'm overthinking it!]
She comforted herself as she followed Li Cangqiong's guards out of the bridge and headed toward the spaceport.
"Order all fleet commanders to enter the virtual combat conference room immediately!"
"Yes, commander!"
After his daughter left, Li Cangqiong could finally put down all his burdens and focus on the battle plan to end this four-month-long mission!
-----
Ten minutes later, a shuttle flew out of Yinglong's spaceport and approached a battleship not far away.
Inside the ship, Li Lizi stared blankly at the dark space outside the porthole. No one knew what she was thinking!
"I understand, I finally understand what's wrong!"
Suddenly, Li Lizi's dull eyes became lively again. She stood up abruptly and spoke to herself in a voice that was considered loud for her.
"Send me back to the application, now!"
She touched the control panel next to her seat and said directly.
"Leader Li, the commander's order is …"
"Scram's order! Send me back immediately! I have a new discovery!"
Hearing the shuttle pilot's reply, Li Lizi gritted her teeth and spat out a fragrant breath.
"Alright, then I'll make a request with Ying Dragon. Please wait a moment!"
"Hurry up!"
Two minutes later, the shuttle returned to Yinglong's spaceport as expected.
After all, Li Cangqiong said that she had made a new discovery, and Li Cangqiong had no reason to refuse her return. Anyway, no matter what this discovery was, he could just send her away before the battle. It didn't have to be now.
"Liz, what did you find?"
Soon, Li Cangqiong asked Li Lizi who was walking quickly into the cockpit.
"I don't know yet. Wait a moment!"
She returned to the console that she had been using for four months. After a series of operations, a large amount of data reappeared in the air. Li Lizi's eyes moved along with the changes in the data.
"Sure enough, there's a problem here!"
After a few minutes, Li Lizi stared at the rapidly flashing data and muttered to herself. Then, her hands moved even faster, so fast that afterimages almost appeared!
"What did you find?"
Li Cangqiong had already arrived behind Li Lizi. He happened to hear her muttering to herself and immediately asked.
"The place that we had overlooked before, the area without any Zergs!"
"Area S7216?"
An area without any Zergs. Li Cangqiong indeed had an impression of it!
Speaking of which, ever since Heniye used the combat bugs to form a surveillance network, there was no place without combat bugs in the entire Gall Star System, except for the star field behind the Vita line of defense.
After all, what Heniye created was a bug force interstellar surveillance network with no blind spots!
However, three months ago, an area without Zergs was indeed discovered, which was the area S7216 that Li Cangqiong mentioned.
At that time, after the "reconnaissance warship" cleared out a few of the Zergs that Heniye used for surveillance, the army used hyperspace as usual to travel to that area.
After some investigation by Li Lizi, there were no abnormalities within a few hundred light-years. However, what was interesting was that according to the spatial radar detection at that time, there were no signs of combat bugs in the area S7216, which was more than 300 light-years away from the army.
One had to know that the Zergs were not like human battleships that could use spatial radars to check out the general situation within tens of thousands of light-years. Even a very detailed investigation could be maintained at a terrifying distance of thousands of light-years.
A normal combat bug could only explore a distance of about 5AU at most.
Therefore, the surveillance network set up by Heniye basically had a few combat bugs within a distance of 10AU to ensure that there were no blind spots.
However, Area S7216, which was a few light-years away, did not have a single bug. This was very strange.
At that time, Li Lizi even focused on investigating that area. However, she still did not find anything out of the ordinary.
In the end, the strangeness of S7216 could only be treated as a coincidence. The army then proceeded to the next location.
"Yes, it's Area S7216!"
"When I was investigating that area earlier, I neglected something!"
"Just because there was no bio-energy, I skipped over it. However, I neglected a very important question!"
"There are several star systems in Area S7216!"
"Even if there are no King Zergs and no bio-energy bodies, stars and planets have energy. How is it possible that there is no energy reaction detected in the entire area?"
"Now, I finally understand. The Zergs used a method that we don't know about in that area to create a spatial shield so that we can't detect anything!"
Li Lizi spoke very quickly and told him about her own deductions.
Li Cangqiong immediately frowned.
If what Li Lizi said was true, then even if there were no Class 1 King Zergs there, there was definitely something that was very important to the Zergs.
Otherwise, why would they go to such lengths to hide in the area that they had occupied?
On the other hand, based on the information that had been obtained so far, the probability of those two King Zergs being there was still higher. After all, compared to a Class 3 King Zerg, their energy levels were several levels higher. It was very likely that they were Class 1 King Zergs.
Although Li Lizi's new discovery was very deliberate, there were no signs that indicated that there was a Class 1 King Zerg hiding there!
This battle must not be rash and alerted the enemy. It must be done in one strike. Otherwise, if the Class 1 King Zerg was alerted and ran to other galaxies in the Myers Galaxy Group, the entire battle would be a complete failure!
'Should I choose the two King Worms with high energy bodies that have higher chances, or …'
"Should I choose this suspicious Area S7216?"
It was rare for Li Cangqiong to make a decision!
