“Get out of the way quickly!”
These lights were not energy-bound, so Ju Yintuo could see them before the light entities arrived.
But it was too late.
The light beams plunged directly into the fleet.
Even though the fleet was already very sparse,
the massive light beams still destroyed tens of thousands of warships.
In that static area,
the warships that had stopped continued to advance at high speed.
It was as if they had truly been paused just now.
Everything had stopped.
Even an abstract concept like inertia had been frozen there.
Now, activated, the warships regained their speed.
“Incredible!”
Some scholars in the warships exclaimed.
Ju Yintuo ordered communications to be initiated.
“Contact the fleet behind us.”
“No reply!”
“Could it be that the communication system is being jammed?”
Inside the command bridge, dozens of communication connection requests were sent, but still, no reply was received.
Ju Yintuo realized that the state of those warships was somewhat abnormal.
“Host, take over the warships in the rear.”
【Acquiring permission】
【Permission acquisition failed】
【Unable to control the rear warships, Ship Commander, please note that all warships in the rear fleet may have been infected with some kind of virus and are very likely controlled by the enemy】
“Then destroy the rear warships; we cannot let them launch an attack.”
As soon as Ju Yintuo’s words fell, an officer there shouted, “We’re connected!”
“Display the image!”
The image was projected.
It was indeed a Ship Secretary from the rear fleet.
“What happened just now? Why did all your warships stop moving?”
“When we requested communication just now, why didn’t you reply?”
“Is the situation with your warships over there still good? Check it!”
Ju Yintuo’s rapid-fire questions left the Ship Secretary on the other side opening his mouth, unable to interject for a long time.
After Ju Yintuo finally finished his questions, the Ship Secretary looked as if his parents had died.
“Ship Commander, the warship is now completely out of our control; it’s moving on its own.”
“We just shut down all of the warship’s electronic systems, and even removed the Host, but it was useless.”
“The warship is still flying according to its own will.”
“Even, even now, my connection to your communication is not controlled by me.”
Ju Yintuo’s heart sank.
He asked, “Are there any other methods?”
“What about completely removing the energy?”
The Ship Secretary shook his head.
“It’s useless.”
“We have already checked the energy; some Soldiers risked their lives to release the energy.”
“The energy has long since dried up, but it’s useless; the warship can still operate normally, and even now, it’s already mobilizing weapons.”
As he was speaking there, a person suddenly rushed into the frame.
An officer.
He looked pained and panicked.
“Ship Commander, I, I, I, I don’t want to die!”
“Please, I really don’t want to die; I still have family waiting for me to go back.”
“At a time like this, what are you talking about?”
“Get out!”
The Ship Secretary directly ordered someone to drag him away.
“I don’t want to die… Ship Commander, Ship Commander!”
The fear of death is too normal.
In any battle, Ju Yintuo had seen too many people like this.
In fact, the proportion of such people is quite high.
It might account for 80% or 90% of all Soldiers and officers.
It’s just that most people hide this fear in their hearts; they can suppress it.
The remaining few are truly weak in the face of true crisis, but in this level of war, many times they die before they even have time to be weak.
Ju Yintuo remained silent on the other end of the communication.
The Ship Secretary of the rear warship said, “Ship Commander, actually, we haven’t been completely controlled yet.”
“Advancing Civilization’s use of this technology should also have limitations; I’ve already discovered some clues.”
“We cut off the energy, but there’s still energy, so there must be an energy input channel, and this channel is on the external port of the Ship.”
“If you can turn back and cut off this port, then we still have a chance.”
Ju Yintuo’s heart stirred.
Then he slowly shook his head.
“We cannot turn back!”
