Chapter 314: Lost Fleet
The fleet was anchored above an abyss, continuously transporting nano torrents downward.

On the flagship, a staff officer looked at the data on the screen and said, "This is our last target. Once we solve it, we can return to the port to rest."

"The last mission has not been completed yet. Don't take it lightly." The commander of the Seventh Fleet said calmly, also paying attention to the screen, "Be careful of the Abyss Will. Many people have died at its hands recently."

The commander's words extinguished the excitement in people's hearts, calming them down and returning them to a state of concentration.

Three hours into the mission, the fleet stopped delivering the nano-torrent.

In the ninth hour, the nano-gray gu had basically completed the assimilation of the abyss.

In the tenth hour, the fleet began to carry out the Harvest the Abyss operation.

In the twelfth hour, the abyss was harvested and the last mission of this fleet was completed.

"Let's go back."

The mission was successfully completed, and the expression on the fleet commander's face was not as tense as before, and many crew members were already smiling.

Following the commander's order, the jump engines of all starships began to charge, and the second-generation paradox machine also began to operate.

Just when the engine was fully charged and about to jump, the confinement from the void caused the fleet to stagnate, and the jump engine was overloaded and scrapped.

Fortunately, thanks to the emergency insurance, the fleet was not blown into void garbage on the spot.

"What happened?" The commander's face, which had just relaxed a short while ago, tensed again, and he asked the technicians about the cause of the accident.

The technician, sweating profusely, responded: "Some force has blocked the space and prevented our jump."

"My initial suspicion is that the Will of the Abyss took action."

When they heard the word "will of the abyss", the faces of all the crew members present changed.

Since they carried out the Abyss Extermination Operation, many execution fleets have been killed by the Abyss Will and disappeared without a trace.

“Are we going to follow in their footsteps?”

"Don't let your imagination run wild. Find a way to break the blockade quickly. Engineers, fix the engines quickly. Captains, calm the crew and prevent any chaos."

The fleet commander is a reincarnation who climbed up from the bottom. He has experienced many life-and-death crises. No matter those strange evil spirits or monsters that are powerful enough to cause natural disasters, they cannot make him show his cowardice.

This time is the same. He is just a coward who was forced by the company and its allies not to show up. There is nothing to be afraid of.

With a determined look, he made arrangements in an orderly manner and fulfilled his responsibilities as the fleet commander.

Under his command, the fear that shrouded the crew was greatly reduced, and they each performed their duties in their respective jobs.

"Can you send a message to the branch?"

"No, most of our available communication methods have failed. Even communication within the fleet can only rely on the mental network of the onboard psykers."

The commander was silent for a moment, the coordinates of the nearest branch flashed through his mind, and then he said:
"If our psykers gather their strength, can they transmit the message to the nearest branch by telekinesis?"

"I'm afraid this won't work." The staff officer quickly calculated and shook his head to deny his idea.

"What if that branch has a psychic beacon?"

The commander's words reminded the staff officer, and he remembered that the nearest branch was indeed building a giant structure called a Psychic Lighthouse, which was used to provide long-range psychic support to the fleet and to receive psychic signals over ultra-long distances.

"I remember that thing shouldn't be repaired yet?" The staff officer questioned, "Even if we were out on a mission for so long, it's impossible to repair it. At most, we can only repair a quarter of it."

A giant structure like this not only consumes a huge amount of resources to build, but also takes a very long time to build, and it cannot be completed overnight.

"You overlooked two things," the commander shook his head and held up two fingers. "The first is the paradox machine. This thing has been used in large-scale projects and can greatly shorten the construction period."

"Second, we don't need a complete psychic lighthouse. The psychic lighthouse is divided into three parts. The first part is the receiving device. Thanks to modular assembly technology, as long as this part is built, it can be put into use immediately."

The staff officer suddenly realized what the commander meant.

This was a huge gamble, and the bet was that the first part of the Psychic Lighthouse had been launched. "According to the maximum receiving range of the Psychic Lighthouse, as long as our psychics gather their power in one place, they can easily convey the news to the branch." The staff officer said excitedly.

"Just do it this way."

The commander was about to give the order when the voice of the ship's psychic suddenly rang in his mind:
"Reporting to the commander, the Raven destroyer suddenly disappeared, and we can't contact the psyker on board."

The Will of the Abyss took action, using the same method as before.

"Call all the psykers on other starships and have them focus their psykers on you. Send the message that we have encountered the will of the abyss to the nearest branch, as well as the corresponding coordinates."

"All psychics? I see." The psychic on board did not think much about it and quickly summoned all people with psychic powers in the mental network.

Not only the psychics on board the ship, but also ordinary crew members who have mastered psychic powers are on the call-up list.

"Another cruiser and three destroyers have lost contact. We must hurry."

Under the fleet commander's order, these psykers responded quickly, concentrating their own psychic energy on the flagship's onboard psykers.

"I've never felt so full before, and I probably won't have a second chance to experience it in my lifetime."

The psychic endured the headache and the discomfort of foreign objects entering his body, broke through the blockade through telekinesis, and sent the information that needed to be explained to a certain coordinate as clearly as possible.

After finishing the job, due to the excessive consumption of psychic energy, all the psychics including him collapsed and fell into a coma.

"This means that our only means of communication within the ship is gone," the staff officer said helplessly, "What should we do next?"

"Wait, wait for support, or wait for death."

The commander slumped in the captain's seat, thinking about what he could use.

When he finished counting, he found that he did not have anything in his hand that could pose a threat to the will of the abyss, and a feeling of powerlessness surged in his heart.

What he didn't know was that because of their decision just now, the will of the abyss was enraged and increased the power it cast here.

Starship after starship was invaded and devoured silently by Him, and the sensors on the ship were unable to detect any clues until the last moment.

"It's time to get rid of this flagship." The tentacles of the will of the abyss reached into the flagship and gradually infiltrated, while the people on board and the shipborne AI were unaware of it.

Once He completes the infiltration, this battleship will become part of the abyss.

So far, countless levels of the abyss have been exterminated by the three major forces.

Hundreds of floors were destroyed by Universal Technology alone.

The destruction of these abysses brought huge profits to the company, allowing Chen Xingzhi's scale to expand again and again, and also allowed the employees who participated in this mission to make a lot of money.

Every time a layer of the abyss is exterminated, not only will the reincarnation space issue reincarnation points, the company will also receive additional subsidies, and they can even make some money from the wreckage of the abyss.

This is why a large number of employees are still eager to participate even though there is a risk of being swallowed by the will of the abyss.

In order to ensure that the fleet carrying out the Extinction Abyss mission received timely supplies, under the instruction of Chen Xingzhi, Universal Technology established a large number of branches close to the front line.

And the Abyss Branch No. 7 is one of them.

Compared with other branches, it has a special feature, that is, a giant structure called "Psychic Lighthouse" is being built here.

Chen Xingzhi stood on the top of the lighthouse, overlooking the star port below.

The psychic energy of this body resonates with the psychic lighthouse, constantly expanding the range of perception, searching for a lost fleet in the bottomless abyss.

Suddenly, he looked up and intercepted a message.

"found it."
