Chapter 69 Separation Again
"I think it's better for us to go separately..." Qi Yiming glanced at Wang Sen in the communicator.
"Separate?" Ye Lu was a little surprised by Qi Yiming's decision.
Wang Shuhua nodded: "This is the best way at the moment."
Qi Yiming's small team can be said to have turned a disaster into a blessing after encountering this hijacking, which can be regarded as making up for the shortcomings of the fleet.
The combat power of Wang Shuhua and the other four warships has made a qualitative leap, and they are not afraid of ordinary star pirates.
In addition, the news from the mercenary world is very clear that they are only targeting Qi Yiming's Xuefeng.
If Qi Yiming moves with the fleet, it will threaten the safety of the fleet.
Moreover, if it really comes to a life-threatening moment, the other warships in the fleet will become a burden to Qi Yiming.
However, Qi Yiming can attract the attention of the mercenaries to the maximum extent by acting alone, thereby ensuring the safety of the fleet and supplies.
Moreover, although the Xuefeng's means of life-saving are simple, they are very effective. As long as Qi Yiming does not wave, the probability of Xuefeng breaking through the siege is much greater than the probability of being sunk.
Since the response method had been determined, Qi Yiming had fortunately re-planned a route for himself. On the third day of the fleet's departure, Qi Yiming again commanded the Xuefeng to leave the fleet alone and fly in another direction.
Wang Shuhua led the fleet to continue on the route planned by Qi Yiming in advance.
Half a month later, the fleet arrived at the first supply point on the route planning map.
According to convention, the fleet will stop at the supply point for a day to rest.
For the sake of caution, Wang Shuhua did not allow the crew to leave the port where the warship was berthed, but only let everyone move around the berth.
Wang Shuhua and Wang Sen entered the free port accompanied by the internal security forces to purchase supplies.
On the way, Wang Shuhua felt something was wrong. Because he was once a member of the Glory Federation, the vigilance he had developed over the years made him find someone following them as soon as he stepped into the airport business district.
After completing the fleet supply, Wang Shuhua simply canceled the rest plan, and the fleet set sail again.
Qi Yiming was relatively relaxed. The pressure of supplying a warship was not great. In addition, there was a food synthesizer on the Xuefeng. Although the taste was a bit worse, it was still possible to supply without docking if the warship's energy was not exhausted.
Qi Yiming fortunately gave up all plans to dock for supply.
But what Qi Yiming did not expect was that these mercenaries did not block the airport, but blocked the jump bridge between star fields.
In fact, it is understandable to think about it. Who would venture into the airport for supply when they knew that they were wanted by the Mercenary Association?
Blocking the jump bridge is an inevitable choice.
But the fatal thing is that although the territory of the Commercial Alliance is not large, it spans several star fields.
If Qi Yiming wants to reach the agreed rendezvous point in advance, the Xuefeng has to jump at least three times.
This inevitably increases the risk of the Xuefeng exposing its whereabouts.
When Qi Yiming commanded the Xuefeng to the first jump bridge node on the planned route, Qi Yiming's scalp was numb when he saw the densely packed warships surrounding the jump bridge.
This made Qi Yiming complain in his heart: "Damn it, didn't I just make an old cat crazy? Why is there such a big fuss?"
Until now, Qi Yiming still thought that it was because of the old cat that the Mercenary Association wanted him.
After all, Wang Sen only found out that Qi Yiming was wanted by the Mercenary Association, but he didn't find out the reason.
But the real reason for all this is that Qiao Shan is artificially creating obstacles to slow down Qi Yiming's speed. If it is possible to kill Qi Yiming by the way, it would be a good choice.
Qi Yiming had no choice but to retreat and re-plan the route, but he could not avoid the tragic fate of being blocked by jumping off the bridge.
"Are you forcing me to fight my way out?" Qi Yiming angrily slapped the armrest of the captain's chair after retreating again.
"Since you force me like this, don't blame me for turning the business alliance upside down." Qi Yiming finally decided to use tyrannical force to solve all this.
In fact, Qi Yiming has a better way, which is to completely dismantle the Xuefeng and release the Guardian, the Exploration, the Heavy Hammer, the Lightning and the Redemption.
But the problem is that this is also very risky.
First of all, the disassembled warships do not have legal identification codes in the commercial territory, and they are easily tracked down by the local garrison fleet.
If it is not done well, the local garrison fleet will be triggered. At that time, it will not be just a mercenary association that will issue a wanted order for Qi Yiming. If it is not done well, the commercial alliance will also issue a wanted order for the disassembled warships.
Not to mention using the jump bridge, it is a problem whether it can reach the jump bridge smoothly.
And Qi Yiming did not dare to take the risk of letting the modular warships operate in non-combination mode.
Qi Yiming believed that Qiao Shan was definitely watching him in a corner. If the modular warships were allowed to operate in non-combination mode, and if Qiao Shan knew that Qi Yiming actually had several modular warships, then there might be more troublesome things.
Faced with the mercenary association's open and aboveboard wanted warrant, Qi Yiming was even more troubled by Qiao Shan's secret activities.
Qi Yiming understood the matter of the enemy being in the open and we being in the dark the most.
It was because the Zerg had concealed their strength that the high-level officials of the Human Federation misjudged it. By the time they reacted, it was too late.
Since the Light of Humanity could build advanced warships, there must be a terrible opponent behind it.
It is easy to dodge an open spear, but difficult to defend against an arrow from the dark. Qi Yiming simply chose the enemy standing in the open.
After making the decision, Qi Yiming immediately issued an order for the highest combat readiness level.
The systems of the Xuefeng entered the war state again.
Qi Yiming took a deep breath and ordered the Xufeng to enter the jump mode. The destination was the jump bridge not far from the Xuefeng.
As soon as the Xuefeng left the jump mode, the warships surrounding the jump bridge immediately responded.
The warships that were originally scattered around the jump bridge immediately gathered towards the jump bridge and formed an attack formation.
All enemy ships formed a horseshoe formation and rushed towards the Xuefeng under the leadership of a cruiser.
Qi Yiming certainly would not sit and wait for death. Before the enemy ships entered the range of their main guns, the Xuefeng had already started attacking.
In front of the dense formation of the enemy, the torpedoes could not get close to the enemy ships, unless Qi Yiming used the micro jump engine, which was also very precious to him, to create torpedoes that could perform short-range jumps to attack the fleet rushing towards the Xuefeng.
Facing the swarming enemy ships, the only thing the Xuefeng could do was to maximize its firepower output.
The three front and rear backpack main guns on the hull fired one after another.
The target was directly aimed at the cruiser in the enemy fleet formation. Qi Yiming ordered the weapons officer to hit it with one shot and directly sink the enemy cruiser, giving these mercenaries who wanted to make trouble a memorable battle start.
Starting today, the time for updating one chapter at 12 noon and one chapter at 6 pm will be restored. The update time at 8 am is a bit tight. It will be very late when I finish writing at night, and I have no time to proofread. In order to avoid typos and grammatical errors as much as possible, I can only make revisions during the morning work hours. Please forgive me.
