369: Chapter 370 Evacuation

Gamox refused to call for reinforcements. He could not accept the reality, nor could he agree that he would fail. After deploying a vast number of biological mechs from the ship, he engaged in a decisive battle with the human fleet.

Despite the many inexplicable variables that appeared in the human fleet, Gamox felt that with the might of the Polyphemus ship, victory was not necessarily impossible.

He could not retreat, just as he had never taken a single step back since crawling his way up from the underground mineral veins to his current position.

Gamox's ten eyes became somewhat hideous.

"Warriors of Polyphemus..."

Gamox's voice resonated throughout the ship.

"Those ugly bugs are not worthy of standing before the great Philiphimus Civilization, nor are they worthy of defiling our glory. Polyphemus—Victory!"

There were tens of millions of Polyphemus kin on this massive Moon-sized ship. Upon hearing Gamox's words, most of them became invigorated.

The joints on their limbs made cracking sounds.

"Victory!"

"Victory!"

However, the offensive of the human fleet after gaining the upper hand far exceeded Gamox's expectations. They pressed on relentlessly, leaving no room for error.

The tactics they employed were unheard of; these human bugs seemed to be a race born for war.

After a massive explosion,

The core of the Polyphemus ship, of which not one in ten remained intact, was finally exposed and began to completely disintegrate.

In the afterglow of the explosion, Gamox seemed to see his long-deceased mother, who had been buried deep in his memories...

—

On the other side, Lin Fang, aboard the command flagship, breathed a sigh of relief as he watched the explosion, naturally unaware that the enemy general had been beaten to the point of crying for his mother.

"Fang, we won!"

Ains said with great joy beside him, his fist slamming heavily onto the edge of the console.

But after just a moment, Ains regained his composure.

This was only one ship of the Philiphimus Civilization. Ains was naturally not naive enough to believe that destroying this one ship could remove the mountain looming over humanity.

Ains immediately ordered the fleet to rest and reorganize as quickly as possible, preparing to set out.

He then went with Lin Fang to the core area of the ship. There, a device resembling a white printer appeared before them. Some metal wires connected it to the ship, but the main body was severely damaged, with most of it melted.

The silver-white metal casing had turned into a lump like wax, and the exposed wires flickered with blinding electrical sparks, clearly caused by a severe overload.

This appearance reflected the immense workload Xiao Hei had undertaken in the recent war; one could even say the victory was because of it.

Lin Fang spoke casually, "Xiao Hei, are you okay?"

[Bo... Boss...]

Xiao Hei's voice was intermittent. Despite being just a virtual voice, it sounded extremely weak.

[I never understood what pain was, but now... now I seem to understand a little.]

Lin Fang: ...

Ains was not as calm as Lin Fang, looking in astonishment at this intelligence that seemed to possess human-like emotions. It was simply incredible that this AI program named Xiao Hei had such a personality simulation.

"Fang, I'll have the technical team come over immediately."

Ains began calling as soon as he finished speaking. From the recent war, he could see the importance of Xiao Hei; it absolutely could not be lost.

Xiao Hei was still making humming and groaning sounds, as if it were about to die the next second.

Lin Fang's face darkened, "Xiao Hei, that's enough. You won't die."

[Oh...]

Looking at this scrapped 550W Quantum Computer, Lin Fang sighed, wondering if the warranty would still be honored if he took it back to The Wandering Earth Dimension.

He still remembered the excitement of picking it up in the wandering earth.

With a wave of Lin Fang's hand, an icon in his warehouse disappeared, and to Ains's dumbfounded gaze, an even larger silver-white machine suddenly appeared on the floor.

Under the day-and-night, tireless research of the many scientists at the Black Watch Base, the technical data of the 550W Quantum Computer had long been thoroughly mastered.

This was the new generation quantum computer launched by the Black Watch Base, the 550X!

That group of scientists had told Lin Fang: The 550X is faster, stronger, and larger than the 550W, with the number of qubits increased by at least a hundredfold.

Lin Fang had specifically brought it here for this war to serve as Xiao Hei's new host.

When the Jushen Company scientific team arrived, what they saw was this silver-white machine shimmering with a faint light. Their eyes lit up immediately, and they pounced on it like hungry wolves.

Especially after learning of its capabilities from Lin Fang, their eyes gleamed with green light and they drooled; these scientific experts wished they could devour the object before them whole.

If it weren't for the critical moment of the war, they really wouldn't have let go.

A moment later, these scientific experts became laborers, huffing and puffing as they connected the machine to the ship, assisting Xiao Hei in preparing for the upcoming battle.

As Ains expected,

Just as they returned to the control room, the fleet soon detected a large number of jump signals 9 million kilometers away. Over a hundred Polyphemus ships appeared in the combat system.

They were as smooth as mirrors all over, staring at the tiny human fleet like the God of Death.

Everyone in Jushen Company turned pale at this sight, nearly losing their will to fight.

Some stared at the red markers on the screen, stiff as statues; others' lips moved, but no sound came out.

A single ship had caused them heavy losses, and now a hundred stood opposite them.

Ains's expression was also very grim. The joy that had arisen from the assistance of a stronger intelligence was washed away in the blink of an eye by this cold reality.

He wanted to say something to encourage the soldiers, but his thoughts swirled, and he found he couldn't speak at all.

Was there still a possibility of victory for humanity!

"Fang..." Ains subconsciously looked at the composed young man beside him. If there was still hope, it could only be placed on this visitor from another world with miraculous methods.

Meeting his gaze, Lin Fang shook his head slightly: "Old En, there's no way to fight this. While they haven't moved yet, hurry up and retreat."

Even Fang has no way.

Hearing this, Ains's heart sank, but then his eyes became sharp again. Behind him was humanity; how could he take a single step back?

"People of Jushen Company..."

But just as Ains, filled with a death wish, raised his arm to shout, Lin Fang sealed his mouth with a Force Field, preventing his attempt to lead the human fleet to their deaths.

Ains struggled, clawing at his throat, but he couldn't make a single sound.

"Commander!" The nearby soldiers were shocked and immediately pointed their guns at Lin Fang. The atmosphere on the bridge instantly became tense.

But in the next second, these soldiers found themselves unable to move, only able to look at Lin Fang with horrified eyes.

What kind of eerie ability was this?

Lin Fang patted Ains on the shoulder, signaling for him to leave the rest to him, and directly issued the retreat order.

Despite their confusion, the order from the command flagship was quickly implemented throughout the human fleet. The moment the space blockade ended, over 2 million ships vanished from the spot.
