"Li Ruiqi asked me to inform you that the Free Fortress will be repaired tomorrow morning and ready for operation. He also asked when we will be setting sail to leave this place."

"Let's do this, if there are no problems, we'll set sail tomorrow morning."

"Okay, I'll go tell them. Everyone will be so happy that we can finally go home."

Galan left very happily.

"Okay."

Su Mo smiled in response.

...

The next day, Su Mo returned to the Star Destroyer·Greyfin.

The Star Destroyer·Greyfin and the Free Fortress set sail. Li Ruiqi personally commanded the Free Fortress to follow the Star Destroyer·Greyfin.

On the Free Fortress, everyone looked out from the observation platform, watching the starry sky gradually receding into the distance. The survivors all had tears in their eyes.

They were finally on their way home.

Star Destroyer·Greyfin Command Room.

Su Mo was chatting with Ge Lis, and he asked in a very good mood.

"Ge Lis, our return trip shouldn't be too difficult, right? How long will it take us to leave this place?"

When Ge Lis heard Su Mo's words, a strange expression appeared on his face. He coughed and said, "Um, Officer Su Mo, you may not be aware, but entering is relatively easy, while exiting is the most difficult."

Su Mo's mood plummeted when he heard Ge Lis's words. He replied with a glimmer of hope.

"It can't be that bad, right?"

"What do you mean it can't be that bad? Do you remember the analogy I used before? When we came in, it was like traveling with the wind."

"I remember, so?"

"Entering was with the wind, so exiting is against the wind. And you remember how violently the Star Destroyer·Greyfin shook when we came in with the wind."

"Yes, it was very violent."

"You need to know that was with the wind; against the wind would be even stronger. The Star Destroyer might even disintegrate, not to mention the Free Fortress behind us."

Ge Lis explained to Su Mo.

"..., then what do we do? How did you get out before?"

Su Mo was speechless. It was as if returning the way they came was impossible.

"I don't even know where I exited from last time; I probably won't be able to find it. But I do know a rule. We can use this rule to get out."

"What rule?"

"Within the area of opposing winds, there is also a small channel of favorable winds. If we can find it, we can exit smoothly."

"Wouldn't that mean finding favorable winds within an area of opposing winds? That doesn't sound easy."

"That's right, it's very difficult to find, but we can take our time. It's better than having no hope at all."

Ge Lis said optimistically.

"That's all we can do."

Su Mo was also helpless.

The Creator·Devourer then spoke in Su Mo's mind, "It's okay, this Ge Lis is very skilled. I believe he will be able to find a way out soon. And after we know the principle, I can help keep an eye out, and maybe we can find an exit channel quickly."

"Okay."

Su Mo responded in a deep voice.

...

Half a month later, the Star Destroyer·Greyfin continuously changed its course, and the entire ship kept shaking.

The Free Fortress closely followed behind.

Inside the Star Destroyer·Greyfin.

Ge Lis was personally piloting the ship, navigating carefully. At this moment, he controlled the ship to launch some missiles toward the distant horizon.

It was clear that some of the missiles disintegrated and exploded shortly after being fired.

Seeing this result, Ge Lis changed course.

He had lost count of how many times he had tested, but there was still no progress.

The crew in the command room all looked very serious, watching Ge Lis operating the ship.

Just then, the entire Star Destroyer·Greyfin shook even more violently. Su Mo and the others were somewhat unsteady on their feet.

"What's wrong?"

Su Mo asked calmly.

"It's nothing, just testing how strong the reverse gravity is in this area. I'll try another area."

Ge Lis said, sounding somewhat tired. Continuous high-intensity operation was taking its toll.

The key was that he didn't dare to hand over the operation to anyone else, fearing he would miss the opportunity to find the correct path.

Sometimes things were just that strange, either you find it right away, or you miss the opportunity and can't find it no matter what.

"Okay, take your time, don't put too much pressure on yourself."

Su Mo could also see that Ge Lis was indeed under a lot of pressure, since everyone was relying on him now.

"Okay!"

Ge Lis nodded and continued to operate the ship seriously, glancing at the mechanical speed dial from time to time.

Seven days later, the Star Destroyer·Greyfin still had not found a way out.

In the command room, Su Mo paced back and forth, feeling inexplicably anxious.

At this time, the operator was reporting.

"Officer Ge Lis, our missile reserves are only 32 percent, and will soon drop to the warning line."

"I know."

Ge Lis replied in a somewhat hoarse voice.

Everyone fell silent upon hearing this. The entire command room was unusually quiet, so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. No one dared to speak, fearing they would disturb Ge Lis.

However, the uneasy expressions on everyone's faces became more and more obvious.

Just then, Ge Lis, who was observing the distant starry sky, suddenly became excited.

"Look at that!"

"Huh? There's nothing there, just some meteorites and dust."

Su Mo and the others were stunned and quickly looked over, but they couldn't see anything at all. The front was a dark starry sky, densely covered with scattered and broken meteorites and dust.

"Look closely, isn't there a large gap in the middle of those dust clouds, exceptionally clean, as if it had been vacuumed?"

Ge Lis explained excitedly.

"It seems like there really is."

Su Mo's heart trembled slightly as he watched carefully.

At this time, Ge Lis fired a missile towards it without saying a word, and found that the missile flew smoothly into the distance.

Seeing that the test was effective, Ge Lis operated the ship to sail towards it without saying a word. As a result, the ship shook slightly, and then its speed began to increase.

"Found it!"

Ge Lis shouted in ecstasy.

"Great!"

Everyone shouted excitedly.

"Beautiful! We're going home!"

A bright smile appeared on Su Mo's face!

"Going home!"

The crowd, who had been suppressing their emotions for a long time, exploded at this moment, cheering excitedly.

...

Three months later.

In the vast starry sky, a Star Destroyer led a dilapidated fortress forward.

In the command room, the operator shouted excitedly.

"Reporting, our optical device has captured Ceres! We are correcting the navigation route to the Reawakris Base."

"Very good."

Su Mo nodded, also somewhat excited. However, he was also a little regretful. He originally planned to take the ore left behind by the Gemini Kijuu after coming out, but after coming out, he didn't even know where he was.

Even Ge Lis took a lot of effort to find the correct route back. In this situation, he shouldn't even think about taking it.

He could only give it up. Although it was a bit painful, there was no other way.
