148: Defeat the Hai Xing Fleet

Ke Jin looked down at the message, feeling an intensified pain in his chest.

"Why?"

[The Blue Star people pre-set signal jammers in the surrounding star field, probability 91.5%]

Ke Jin finally realized that the reason the information was temporarily unsealed was not because the hai star supercomputer had broken the information blockade, but because the Blue Star people had deliberately allowed it through. This was intended to kill them psychologically... Pfft...

Ke Jin felt immense tightness in his chest, and a mouthful of old blood sprayed onto the terminal screen.

"Captain, our scout ships outside have detected our fleet heading this way!"

Ke Jin's consciousness was already blurring. He looked up at the real-time footage displayed on the main control screen: ten Hai Star ships were sailing toward this star field, but their speed was not fast.

At this moment, a voice message came through the terminal, originating from the [destroyer] ship.

[Drop your defenses, surrender and live]

[Resist stubbornly, and face a dead end]

Upon hearing the voice message, Ke Jin felt a wave of dizziness, and he collapsed straight down.

The Deputy rushed forward to check on him. Fortunately, he had only fainted.

The Vice Captain jogged over, picked up the terminal from the floor, and repeatedly played the voice message, turning the volume up to maximum.

[Drop your defenses, surrender and live]

[Resist stubbornly, and face a dead end]

"We are definitely going to lose. Let's surrender!"

Ke Jin's Deputy looked at the Vice Captain in disbelief and roared, "What did you say?"

"There is no point in holding on any longer. I choose to surrender, at least I can save my life!"

"Those who choose to surrender, raise your hands now!"

On the bridge, the Hai Star senior officers and operators exchanged glances, momentarily unsure how to decide.

Hai Star would never allow surrenders. Once this precedent was set, even if they were sent back to Hai Star as prisoners, they would not fare well, and their relatives might even be implicated.

The current situation offered no chance of victory.

Surrendering meant saving their lives.

Who would want to die when they could live... The reason those present were so hesitant was the fear that their family and friends would be punished because of their choice.

At that moment, the first person raised his hand. He was the senior officer in charge of commanding the Hai Star Mobile Forces, ranking just one level below the Vice Captain.

"The information has already been blockaded by the Blue Star people. The supercomputer cannot send the message back to the home planet."

As soon as he spoke, it triggered a chain reaction.

"That's right, I choose to surrender!"

"Count me in."

"I don't want to die!"

... More and more people chose to surrender, with nearly ninety percent of the operators opting for surrender.

The officer corps was more reserved, but perhaps due to herd mentality, some also began to raise their hands.

Before long, more than half of the officers had raised their hands.

The Vice Captain immediately ordered: "Recall the Mobile Forces and send a surrender signal to the Blue Star people!"

[Detected Captain Ke Jin has lost the ability to think. Current highest rank is Vice Captain Reynold]

[Vice Captain Reynold initiated a surrender application. Over 63% of first-level officers chose to agree. Application approved]

[Vice Captain Reynold, I must remind you that by making this choice you will bear the primary responsibility, and all officers who agreed to the surrender application will bear secondary responsibility]

Reynold urgently said: "I understand. Execute quickly!"

[Executing...]

The Hai Star Mobile Forces began to retreat rapidly.

The drone swarm stopped attacking the Blue Star camp.

The Hai Star mothership [the judicator] transmitted a special frequency message into deep space.

At this moment, a message appeared on the main control screens of all combatants in the Blue Star camp.

[Stop the attack, await the Hai Star fleet's surrender]

[First-to-board reward remains unchanged, a total of 28 slots]

[Action permitted after 60 seconds]

The [Jiaolong] medium drones stopped their attack, but the encirclement was not withdrawn.

Soon, the Huaxia Federation General Command issued the latest directive, agreeing to the surrender application of the [the judicator] fleet, and all Blue Star combat units ceased all combat actions.

The player community was on the verge of a killing frenzy. Having watched their teammates choose self-destruction and death one by one, their bloodlust had already been roused to its peak.

The sudden prompt left them momentarily bewildered.

"Oh my god! Why did they surrender?"

"The Hai Star people's firepower was clearly so fierce, why did they suddenly surrender?"

"We won!?"

"We survived..."

When the players saw the Hai Star fleet withdraw its energy shields, shut down its engines, and only light up a few signal lights while waiting for the Blue Star people to board, they finally realized that the Blue Star people had won this war!

The channels for the command teams of the various mobile forces were opened by the General Command, and the voices of the players gradually came through.

"Holy crap, I thought we Blue Star people were definitely going to lose! The firepower of those Hai Star bastards was too fierce. One ship cannon shot came over, and I was the only one left in our squad. I was just about to go up and self-destruct!"

"They were trapping the dog inside the gate, of course, it was a sure win."

"Sigh, my best brother is gone..."

"I'm the only one left in our group too."

"Brothers, did you wet yourselves? I think my diaper is almost full."

"I didn't!"

"Plus 1."

"Plus 2."

"Brothers, don't forget the First-to-Board reward! There are only ten seconds left, cheer up!"

[10, 9, 8... 1, 0]

When the countdown ended and the mech access was reopened, the 35,712 players still on the battlefield swarmed toward the Hai Star fleet.

Among them, the mechs charging on the front lines had the greatest advantage, and one person had already boarded the outermost battleship first.

[Chen Zejun successfully boarded first]

This message appeared immediately on the main control screens of all players.

[Li Lihua successfully boarded first]

[Zhang Mengru successfully boarded first]

... Moon Base.

The atmosphere in the General Command room gradually became cheerful amidst the players' first-to-board activity.

This interstellar war, which had been prepared for nearly five years, was finally about to be won.

General Commander Xi looked expressionlessly at the simulated star map. Although the main battlefield had been secured, fighting in the secondary battlefield was still ongoing.

Huaxia Federation soldiers were still fighting on the front lines, and people were sacrificing themselves every second.

Only when the [adjudicator] ship was taken down by the assault team led by Fang Wanli, completing the final suppression, would this interstellar war be officially declared over.

"We won!"

"The Huaxia Federation won!"

"Oh God, I can't believe it, we actually defeated the aliens."

... General Commander Xi let out a long breath. He silently moved to the corner, sat down against the wall, his face pale, and his vision beginning to blur.

Once the mental tension eased, fatigue rushed in. He could no longer withstand the immense pressure, closed his eyes, and immediately fell into a deep sleep.

In the various observation rooms, the senior officials of the Huaxia Federation cheered excitedly, gathering in small groups of two or three, their faces filled with smiles of relief.

The [pioneer] ship, Control Room.

He Ming looked at the text displayed on the notebook, his brow furrowing. Although they had won this interstellar war, the subsequent troubles were still significant.
