Chapter 901: Chapter 674: HZ1 Fleet, Advance Reconnaissance Ship “Shadow Fleet… Shadow Island… I name,” On the spherical body projected, the two electronic eyes had narrowed into straight lines, indicating Black’s satisfaction. The moment Mu Fan renamed the Shadow Base, it marked the complete transformation of his mindset. Having seen that Federation insignia during his memory recollection, Mu Fan’s identity was determined no longer to truly belong to the Federation. “Oh, I nearly forgot an important matter, almost missed it!” Black’s electronic eyes suddenly widened, a tone of relief in his voice. As he spoke, a fighter jet parked on the island’s surface suddenly took off, swiftly nosediving while the belly of the aircraft flashed with a series of lights. Dozens of white projectiles surged forth, directly hitting the edge of a crater on the island… forming a heart shape? Strangely, none of them exploded. Mu Fan glanced at the pattern on the light screen, his expression peculiar. He looked at Black and said, “What are you doing?” “Hehe, just making it more apparent, leaving a gift. Otherwise, the military fleet coming won’t even know I was here,” After finishing his words, the fighter jet once again skimmed over the surface, dropping a perfectly square box at the heart-shaped crater’s center, pink colored. Mu Fan clearly saw a cloth strip tied into a bow on top. “Next, the official evacuation from Shadow Island!” With Black’s enthusiastic voice, the massive Floating Island began a miraculous ascent, rising higher and higher until it broke through the atmosphere. As the island disappeared from the planet, only remnants left were the cloud cavity from its departure and the missing huge piece of land on the surface, alongside the growing discharges of Zeg from the other side of the planet. A circle of tens of thousands of heavy-duty engineering vehicles on the edge of Shadow Island simultaneously raised flat elliptical metal plates, activating a layer of misty black light, instantly spreading. The massive Star Core Barrier completely enveloped the entire island. Once Shadow Island ascended into space, its black exterior officially melded with the deep cosmos. Silently drifting towards the wormhole. The blue fleet sped quietly towards the wormhole once marked as a military forbidden zone. A middle-aged officer with dark skin and cold eyes stood quietly in the flagship command room, silently watching the huge light screen. An eye-catching golden star insignia proved his identity from the side. Federation Major General, Su Qi! Their uniforms differed from the standard military attire Mu Fan had once seen, with blue branch-like patterns on their shoulders. Also, a flat letter emblem was stitched on their left chest. Being Military Department’s secret Sharp Blade Team, all their information was completely hidden from view. In the public eye, many people didn’t even know such a team existed until normal death occurred. The seventh-level standard Sky Strike Lightning Assault Ship, made this fleet of only seventy or so warships a factual ace fleet. The Federation’s feedback to him ranged from initial indifference to later cold treatment. A violent weapon energy reaction, near the administrative planet’s secret wormhole… His authority surpassed most fleets, so if he found someone causing trouble, he would show no mercy regardless of who it was. The HZ1 Fleet’s firepower would tear apart all enemies. “The two reconnaissance ships from the escort fleet are behind us, notify them a second time.” Su Qi’s gaze landed on the impulse hidden behind the asteroid belt, speaking calmly. “Report General, they’ve been notified a second time, but the feedback is insufficient energy reserves to maintain high-speed cruising,” Hearing the report from behind, Su Qi snorted coldly, speaking without turning back, “Seventh Formation’s Sky Strike Particle Cannon preheat, activate the active radar, lock onto those two reconnaissance ships, tell them if they can’t speed up to 300% within 60 seconds, they can sleep in space forever.” The adjutant behind stiffened, immediately walking to the Light Computer to issue the command. Fact showed that when the Sky Strike Particle Cannon locked onto the two reconnaissance ships, the ally had already rushed to communicate. Upon hearing it was the fleet commander’s order, the two reconnaissance ships sped up crazily, overtaking the HZ1 Fleet in a blink. Su Qi’s dark face showed bright eyes, casually glancing at the allied reconnaissance ships just starting to accelerate, then ignoring them further. He muttered to himself, “Fairly alert.” With admiration, the adjutant glanced at Su Qi’s back and respectfully lowered his head. He dared not doubt his general’s words, only fortunate for those two reconnaissance ships. Under Greysham’s escort fleet command, the two reconnaissance ships burst into full speed, quickly leaving the HZ1 Fleet behind. Two Major Captains were conducting a trembling video call at this moment. “The commander of this fleet is a madman, daring to lock us with the muzzle? If the boss were here, I’d fire back,” “Forget it, this fleet looks unfriendly, have you ever seen those Assault Ships? I’ve never, so better to believe any anomaly,” “Indeed, these secret fleets are simply lawless, drawn them, it’s bad luck,” After the companion gave a stepping stone, the previous Major’s tone also eased. After all, they couldn’t bear the responsibility for delaying warships, who else but them for the speed of reconnaissance ships? Time passed minute by minute, the two reconnaissance ships approaching the wormhole more and more. Due to temporary speed increase, the estimated time started to further shorten. Black calculated 87 minutes, targeted at the HZ1 Fleet, while at this moment the reconnaissance ship shortened to 76 minutes. The difference of 11 minutes caused Black’s evasive plan to show minor flaws. The two Majors exchanged aghast glances as a red dot suddenly flashed on the radar. “Is it really an enemy threat?” “Increase scanning power!” At the moment they issued commands, wrapped in a black force field barrier, Shadow Island had just entered the asteroid belt. Before entering, the radar star map happened to flash past those two reconnaissance ships. Mu Fan saw everything clearly. Follow current novels on 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭•𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘦•𝘯𝘦𝘵 The two red dots were strikingly obvious. “Have Federation warships arrived so quickly?” “Yes, earlier than calculated, upon discovering them, they very likely discovered us too, but just for a moment, ahead is the electromagnetic isolation zone, where their signal can’t be probed,” Black’s voice carried annoyance. This sudden change made its perfect retreat route appear blemished. Any unknown variable at this moment was unacceptable to it. Mu Fan’s eyes scanned the star map rapidly, speaking swiftly, “You mean they might come here to investigate, if so, do you have a way to redirect their attention back to the wormhole? Before, I contacted Tiger Hunting Team’s scouts, who said reconnaissance rank according to target significance and event severity.” “You’re talking about distraction?” Black said excitedly, “Of course I can, how about self-exploding Star Bombs?” “Yes, deploy them to the wormhole front and detonate!” Mu Fan decisively said at that moment. Silently, nearly a hundred massive Star Bombs scattered along the rear route, drifting toward the wormhole.
