Star Ocean, Starting From the Digital Fleet

Chapter 36

In the dark and dim starry sky, nameless dark red spreads.

In the extremely depressing void, the space suddenly ripples with large areas.

Then a huge elliptical starship about 200 kilometers long suddenly appears!

The whole is gray and silver, and the dense and complex mechanical structure is interlaced on the hull armor, revealing a strong rough industrial style.

The surface of the starship is surging with a faint light, creating a normal area of ​​hundreds of thousands of kilometers.

The mysterious boundary curbs the spread of dark red!

Within hundreds of thousands of kilometers around, more than 500 warships of various types surround this giant ship.

The front part and the middle part of the giant ship are a huge three-dimensional city, while the rear part is a variety of ecological plantations and livestock factories.

The huge, complex and orderly circular industry is struggling to maintain the social civilization in this giant ship.

At the front of the giant ship, the central control area.

Three middle-aged men in white robes look indifferent.

Hundreds of people are bustling around, coming and going in front of each device.

"Carlos, how is it?"

"The jump module has a fault. It will take at least two weeks to recover. We can only move forward at sub-light speed.

This kind of fault is the first in a hundred years."

The white-robed man called Carlos said without any ripples.

Silence.

"Where are we going?"

After a long silence, one of them suddenly asked, not knowing whether he was asking about the direction of the giant ship or the direction of civilization.

Carlos, who seemed to have a high reputation among the three, looked at the questioner.

"I don't know, just move forward and let civilization continue for a while."

"Dark red pollution blocks the operation of all known super-light communication equipment. We are lonely souls isolated from other civilizations.

Of course, there may be hope somewhere in the starry sky."

The white-robed man who asked Carlos at the beginning said with a slightly self-deprecating tone.

"Hope... Let's solve the crisis in front of us first before talking about hope."

Carlos looked at the main control screen calmly.

I saw countless scarlet flashes appearing millions of kilometers ahead of the giant ship!

More than 2,000 polluted and twisted things appeared in disorder in various places in the starry sky, blocking the route of the giant ship!

Hideous and disgusting star beasts, twisted technological warships.

There are even fleshy giant vines covered with various compound eyes, waving kilometers of scarlet flesh vines in the void!

Dark red monsters.

Carlos sighed.

They appear every time the home ship stops.

And at the moment when the dark red monster appears, more than 500 warships about 5 kilometers long have gathered powerful energy level fluctuations.

With the sudden appearance of intense light.

Thousands of streamers swept across the distance between the two sides in the blink of an eye, and went straight into the scattered formation of the enemy!

The blazing white energy explosion spread, and I don’t know how many infected monsters were killed directly.

What greeted the giant ship was the forceful penetration of the energy explosion, tens of thousands of dark red rays!

The seemingly extremely dangerous dark red rays suddenly slowed down when they entered the range of hundreds of thousands of kilometers around the giant ship.

The dark red light also dimmed a lot.

Then it bombarded the shields of hundreds of warships and giant ships directly, but did not cause too much damage!

"As always, no monsters that are difficult to resist have appeared."

Carlos said silently when he saw that more than 2,000 dark red monsters were lost in the second round of bombardment.

Buzz~

[Alarm! More than 3,000 dark red fluctuations were detected on the right side]

[Alarm! Alarm! More than 1,700 dark red fluctuations were detected on the left side]

[Alarm! More than 2,400 dark red fluctuations were detected in the back]

[......]

Before the three people turned off the screen, the piercing alarm sound and red light rang rapidly in the control room!

Carlos' pupils shrank.

"How is it possible?! Could it be that this group of dark red monsters can also detect the failure of our jump module?

try{ggauto;} catch(ex){}

After following us for so long, there has never been such an intensive action!"

There was no time to doubt, and twisted and weird monsters from all directions began to emerge one after another.

Without any fear, they rushed towards the giant ship desperately!

More than 500 warships could not support themselves, and there was an obvious gap in firepower.

In less than ten minutes, the first monster had already approached the mysterious boundary of hundreds of thousands of kilometers of the giant ship!

Crash!

The moment it rushed into the mysterious boundary centered on the giant ship, the red light on the body of the huge pollution monster suddenly dimmed.

The energy level it showed suddenly dropped by several levels!

Even so, countless monsters still continued to fight against the giant ship under the bombardment of more than 500 warships.

Rumble!

A terrifying light emerged.

A light band like an aurora swept out from somewhere on the giant ship, and annihilated a group of distorted monsters in an instant!

Before everyone was happy, more distorted monsters emerged in the rippling space.

In just a moment, the number reached tens of thousands!

Distorted abnormality, weird chaos!

I don’t know if it was an illusion, but as the number of dark red monsters increased, the dark red around the giant ship seemed to spread a little inside the boundary...

Tens of thousands of monsters rushed towards the giant ship without hesitation.

This was not the tiny monsters of a few meters or tens of meters on the surface.

But a group of terrifying giants at least a thousand meters long!

When such a group of monsters rushed over ferociously, even Carlos, who had seen big winds and waves, was trembling.

Ignoring the weakness brought by crossing the boundary, the monster tide first surrounded more than 500 warships.

Dense dark red rays swept across, and there were even spears of light piercing through them.

Hundreds of monsters were smashed, and then more monsters filled the gap and killed the warships that were desperately resisting.

[The shield of the No. 283 warship was damaged and will be offline soon. I hope you will continue to move forward]

[The right side of the No. 452 warship was penetrated and could not move. I hope you will continue to move forward]

[The power module of the No. 167 warship was damaged...]

Dozens of calm but helpless voices echoed in the control room.

The entire control room was dead silent.

Looking at the signal table of the warships that kept going offline, the people in the control room did not react much.

Compared with despair, it is better to say that they are completely numb.

Excited? Unwilling? Fear?

Over the past hundreds of years, they have experienced tens of thousands of battles with dark red monsters, and their hearts have long been unable to have too many emotions.

Once upon a time.

There were as many as eighty-eight such home ships, and the escort fleets numbered tens of thousands!

Now there is only this giant ship and hundreds of escort warships left, relying on some kind of adventure to survive for hundreds of years.

Watching the escort warships being swallowed by countless monsters one after another, the calm and helpless final reports of the escort captains echoed in his ears.

Carlos sighed deeply and said: "It seems that after a hundred years, our Tilo Federation will eventually perish in the dark red."

The boundary is being squeezed by the dark red bit by bit, and the surging waves of monsters are constantly advancing under the bombardment of the giant ship.

It turns out that in addition to that miracle, another reason why we can live for a hundred years is that the jump module has never broken down.

For some reason, Carlos suddenly thought of this.

The despair of losing the way forward for a long time and the numbness of countless struggles really made him unable to ignite fear and unwillingness to die civilization.

Or as early as a hundred years ago, when they only had one home ship left, they had already lost hope for the future.

Resistance and escape are just to have as many as possible to prolong the survival of civilization.

Leave traces of mankind.

Countless dead and cold planets, countless stone tablets recording various histories are the result of their persistence over the years.

Now, persistence seems to be reaching its limit...
