Just like a treasure hunting game, Xia Fei, who was searching through the ancient battlefield for the parts he needed, could not help but cheer every time he found something.

In truth, any residents with experience would not be as optimistic as Xia Fei. The shipwrecks did have many treasures awaiting discovery, but the dangers far outweighed the joy of the hunt. Terrifying electromagnetic storms could happen any time, and then there were the merciless pirates who could pop up anywhere and everywhere.

The cargo hold was now filled with various parts, all of which had been produced ages ago. They were not as modern or advanced as the parts equipped on the Lunar Eclipse, but at least, these parts would allow his warship to move and leave the Wild Star Region.

Xia Fei checked the condition of these parts in detail. Luckily, as space was in a vacuum, although these parts had spent thousands of years floating in space, they were as good as new.

“We are seven parts away from leaving this place!” said Xia Fei happily.

Phantom nodded indifferently. “Pick up the pace; I don’t wanna stay in this d*mned place for too long.”

Xia Fei smiled. “You’re a phantom. It doesn’t matter where you are. Plus, can’t you create a virtual space that fits your fancy?”

The destination of emergency warps like this was decided by the random number generator on the ship. Nobody knew where it would send Xia Fei.

Under these circumstances, warps usually would never exceed fifty thousand lightyears. However, he could not be sure of this as the wormhole was greatly affected by the electromagnetic storm when the warp started, meaning that the wormhole might have been twisted and distorted. It might even send Xia Fei millions of lightyears away.

When Xia Fei went through the wormhole opened by the insectoid ship, it was the twisting of the wormhole that had sent him into the Wild Star Region hundreds of thousands of lightyears away from where he was then.

Xia Fei lit a cigarette to calm his nerves. It was the only thing he could do at this point.

About two minutes later, the executioner frigate exited the wormhole.

Looking outside the window, Xia Fei’s heart, which had just returned to normal, started beating out of his chest again.

Before his sight was the wreckage of an entire combined fleet of warships, floating in this pitch-black space.

It was easy to tell if it was a combined fleet; one just had to look for the presence of a capital ship.

There were almost one thousand ships in the fleet in front of Xia Fei. More importantly, it had a carrier; a proper capital ship.

Furthermore, the ship was in perfect condition.

“Why would there be a capital ship in perfect condition among the wreckages of an entire fleet?” Xia Fei’s eyes were wide open, seemingly unable to believe what he was seeing.

Phantom let out a big gulp, heading toward the window to take in the massive carrier. “How is that ship seemingly unharmed?”

capital ships were different from other ships as they had a size and firepower that dramatically exceeded other ships. Take this Thanatos-class carrier from Gaia Corps for example. It weighed 15.75 million tonnes and was over one hundred and thirty million cubic meters in volume.

The other ships, such as the battlecruisers or frigates, were minuscule compared to it, so tiny they were not even worth mentioning.

The small ships were in a circle, with the capital ship at their center, as if they were arranged in a strategic defense formation.

Xia Fei stamped out his cigarette and started working on the captain’s console. Although he was completely taken aback by the completely intact capital ship, there was a process to everything.

The executioner-class frigate did not take too much of a hit from the storm. A few non-essential parts were damaged, and there was static coming outside the radar and communications systems; meaning, he could not communicate, nor could he confirm his position.

Xia Fei did another in-depth check and discovered that the radar system was not damaged at all, but it was malfunctioning for some reason.

Furrowing his brows, Xia Fei decided to ignore the malfunctioning radar for now. He neared the capital ship, scanning it to obtain its present status.

Scanning the capital ship took longer than appraising a normal warship, purely because of how much bigger it was and how many more parts it had.

The analysis report finally showed up on the screen after twenty minutes.

It took Xia Fei almost half an hour to look through the report, which was a few hundred pages long, but the doubts in his heart did not decrease in the slightest.

The report showed that the armor and its internals were all perfectly intact. If someone boarded the ship, they could even drive it away.

“That’s weird; why would the military leave a capital ship in perfect condition here? Evidently, the fleet is in pristine condition, so why are the ships around it so severely damaged?” muttered Phantom.

Xia Fei had also noticed everything that Phantom mentioned. Moreover, he noticed something even weirder. There were only Alliance ships around here, and there was not a single insectoid ship in sight.

There was no way a well-organized fleet, such as this one, could not down a single enemy ship. This did not make sense at all. Could it be that these ships were not destroyed by insectoids?

Clearing his thoughts, Xia Fei scanned the fleet with all the detectors he had on the ship. Scanning all parts of it with life detection, energy detection, infra-red detection…

“You wanna go look?” Phantom egged on Xia Fei.

“I’m not boarding the ship before finding out what happened here,” asserted Xia Fei.

“Just go take a look, are you not curious about learning what happened to this fleet? Don’t you want to find the answer?”

“Of course, I’m curious, but I still care about my life. You’re a phantom; why don’t you check it out yourself? You’ve been dead for a long time, after all,” said Xia Fei.

“Sigh…” Phantom pouted. “You think I don’t want to? I can’t be more than twenty meters away from the Moore Stone on your neck. I would be gone otherwise.”

At this moment, the reports from the various detection systems were done. Xia Fei narrowed his eyes as he read through them.
