The Third Fleet, which had been traveling all the way, finally successfully reunited with the outpost fleet and the Celestial beings who had withdrawn from the Jupiter space domain.
However, when Sergei saw the legion fleet silently following the outpost fleet and the Celestial Being's Ptolemy II, he couldn't help but reveal a trace of doubt.
After the crisis of Jupiter's Great Red Spot was resolved (tentatively), the Outpost Fleet did send back information about the success of the plan to the Third Fleet and the more distant Earth headquarters, but the specific content was not mentioned further.
But now, the legion fleet that silently followed the outpost fleet and Ptolemy II of Celestial Being seemed to reveal an unusual atmosphere.
"Commodore. The commander of the outpost fleet sent an encrypted communication."
First Officer Pon Khakuri transferred a decrypted message to Sergei.
Sergey glanced at it and frowned slightly.
"A special force field that causes ELS to produce symptoms that are suspected of being infected with a disease? The Celestial Beings accommodate the upgraded ones and do not allow the medical staff of the outpost fleet to intervene in treatment?"
"It's a lot of trouble!"
Sergey pondered for a moment, and then looked at Pon Harkuri.
"Give the order to the outpost fleet, and I will handle the entire process. If there are any problems, I will be responsible."
"Yes! Brigadier."
Sergei looked at the end of the encrypted message again, and there happened to be Shaci Crossrod's name.
After successfully reuniting with the Third Fleet, everyone's tense nerves involuntarily relaxed a lot.
Although they saw with their own eyes the arrogant ELS fleet in an incredible scene, turning around, crashing everywhere, and finally falling into the atmosphere of Jupiter without a trace, most people were still afraid that more things would come out of the Great Red Spot.
Much, much scarier ELS.
Therefore, after reuniting with the Third Fleet, these people felt as if they had found a backbone and stabilized.
As everyone knows, this is just the tranquility before the decisive battle.
"Miss Louise, are you saying that it was just a minor cold?"
Lisa Kujo looked at the pitiful figure lying on the hospital bed, who was as skinny as a stick, without any of the youthful vitality in the photo, as if she was like a dying flower, and asked.
"Yes, yes."
Louise nodded weakly.
"Louise. You need to have a good rest now."
Sha Ci, who was standing by, couldn't help but remind him.
He didn't expect that his sweetheart, who had been separated from him for so long and whom he wanted to go to Jupiter to reunite with, would turn out to be like this.
Long-term dependence on the energy supply of the upgraded ones, maintaining the lowest vital signs, and being in a state of high mental exertion and overloaded work for a long time have overdrawn Louise's vitality too much.
After the hermit crab plan was successfully launched, the threat posed by the ELS fleet was subsequently resolved. However, the dead silence of the upgraded people made Sha Ci, who was always paying attention to the movements of the upgraded people, suddenly feel uneasy.
In desperation, Sha Ci did not hesitate to pilot the machine to lift the upgraded person up and fly towards Ptolemy II. He did not consider asking for help from the outpost fleet that also belonged to the Earth Federation Army, thus triggering a small battle.
belonging conflict.
Fortunately, the Revolutionary Team led by Dekar Sharman and the Sun Warriors led by Graham joined forces to support Shaci's decision, and they were able to suppress the dissatisfaction of the outpost fleet commander.
"No."
Louise, who looked haggard and almost had bones visible, opened her bright eyes and looked at Sha Ci.
"Now, it is not the time for me to rest. There are some things that I must explain clearly."
Seeing Louise's firm attitude, Sha Ci couldn't help but fall silent.
Louise glanced at Sha Ci apologetically, then turned to look at Lisa Kujo, or He Ming who stood behind Lisa Kujo and never spoke.
"Those devices cannot kill ELS, they just infect ELS with the plague in a sense."
"plague?"
Kujo Lisa turned around and looked at He Ming.
Before the two came to meet Louise, they had exchanged similar questions.
When the special device was fully activated, He Ming, who was closest to the ELS, did not sense the miserable howl that the ELS fleet erupted again when it was bombarded by subspace torpedoes. Instead, it seemed more like it had been deprived of more power and fell into dormancy.
state.
"Yes. Plague. According to the results obtained by the Supreme Being through the study of the remains of ELS and huge simulation calculations, although ELS is a mutated metal life form, its life characteristics will still make it sick and infected like humans. It's just that
, from the perspective of ELS, their so-called diseases and plagues are not diseases and plagues caused by viruses and pathogens as understood by human civilization."
Louise's words made Lisa Kujo's eyes light up.
"It's the force field. It's the special force field activated by those special devices that caused ELS, as a mutated metal life form, to develop a disease similar to the plague that humans understand, right?"
With Sha Ci's help, Louise slowly sat down, then nodded.
"Yes. With the help of the Superman Brain Array, the Supreme Being finally found this method. However, according to the results of many simulation calculations, these plagues will eventually be adapted to by ELS and will eventually be immune."
"Exact time?"
He Ming asked.
"According to the results of simulation calculations, it is generally between 6 months and a year. However, unexpected situations cannot be ruled out. In this case, the time will be further...cough cough...cough cough cough..."
Louise shook her head slightly, and just in the middle of speaking, she suddenly started coughing.
"Louise, come on, have a drink of water first."
Sha Ci quickly fetched warm water and asked Louise to drink a few sips slowly to stabilize her breathing.
Seeing this, He Ming and Kujo Lisa no longer delayed Louise's rest.
"Lieutenant Shaci, Miss Louise will be handed over to you. Don't worry! The Commander of the Third Fleet, Commodore Sergey, just called. He recognized the decision to hand over Miss Louise Halevi to our care, and hoped that she would be taken under our care.
You will take care of Miss Louise personally. So, please don’t worry too much about the change in the Earth Federation Council’s attitude towards Miss Louise.”
After the two looked at each other, they turned and left the room, leaving the space to this young pair who had finally gotten together but encountered such a situation.
Walking in the aisle of Ptolemy II, Lisa Kujo held her chin and fell into thought.
"If the special force field device deployed by the Legion caused the ELS to fall into a large-scale plague, then the ELS will most likely stay on Jupiter in the next six months to one year, waiting for the end of the adaptation period.
"
"Well, it's very possible. I have to say that the Supreme One's plan is very bold. When everyone thought that they could only use weapons to resist or kill ELS, they actually came up with the idea of ​​using a special force field to kill ELS.
Mutated metal lifeforms are infected with a disease similar to the plague, so ELS has to stop and adapt to this plague."
This may be one of the hopes that the Supreme Being seeks by using the superhuman brain array.
Chapter completed!
