An earthy yellow beam of light illuminated the lonely and deep space. A dark-colored, simple-looking high-speed warship passed under the beam of light. The energy beam even reflected a yellow light from the porthole of the ship, illuminating the faces in the window. The warship quickly made a 360 turn to the left and circled behind a mountain-sized meteorite. Then, hundreds of beams of light landed on the surface of the meteorite. The meteor, which was already riddled with holes, became even more damaged from the explosion.
Chasing behind the warship were five similar airships and two Grai giants.
Behind the meteorite, in the cockpit of the airship, Allen and the others heaved a sigh of relief. They saw that the radar was constantly indicating that the enemy ships were circling around the two sides of the meteorite, preparing to split up and attack together. At this moment, Hubble snorted and pressed down on the lever. The horizontally floating airship immediately turned 90 degrees and flew straight down against the surface of the meteorite. This caused everyone in the driver's seat to firmly fix themselves to their seats, so that they wouldn't be thrown out by the sudden change in direction.
"Come on, bastards!" Hubble shouted loudly. At this moment, there was only excitement on his face.
Originally, Belmore had planned to pilot the airship himself, but the airship's pilot system used alien characters, and he didn't understand a single word. Only Hubble knew these words. Helplessly, Belmore had no choice but to hand the airship over to Hubble to pilot. Everyone still clearly remembered how dangerous it was for Hubble to drive the airship away from the escape cabin of the mothership. The process of almost crashing the airship into the cabin was still vivid in his mind.
However, after familiarizing himself with the basic operations, the Catus showed his talent for piloting airships and played with them. However, his movements were too large, causing the people in the driver's seat to have a hard time sitting. However, it was also because of this that Hubble's movements were often beyond the expectations of the enemy ship, allowing him to repeatedly escape the enemy's pursuit.
Just like now, the warship rushed down vertically, causing the enemy ships that had circled around from both sides of the meteorite to pounce on the air.
After the warship left the meteorite, it regained its level. Then, the tail engine emitted lightning and accelerated away. The enemy ship chased after them again, and the two Grai giants were eyeing them covetously. Hubble glanced at the radar and shouted, "We have to fight back, or they will hit us sooner or later!"
Allen agreed with this point. So he told Hubble to fly horizontally, while he and Belmore controlled the cannon turrets on both sides of the airship. Seeing that the two of them were ready, Hubble stealthily turned the airship around and pounced towards the enemy ship. The Catus on the enemy ship were overjoyed. The energy cannons on the ship continued to bombard the ship, causing countless dots of light to appear in front of the porthole.
Even Katherine's expression had begun to change when she saw the rain of light flying towards her. Talikova screamed. At this moment, Hubble roared and controlled the flying ship to dive down, brushing past the rain of light at the last moment. The warship almost brushed past the edge of the light rain and then lifted. How could Allen and the others not know the opportunity to attack? Immediately, the two turrets fired continuously, sending high-energy beams of light towards the enemy ship.
Light, and light. "Enemy.......................................................... The remaining enemy ships separated to the left and right, allowing the two Grai giants behind the middle pad to attack. Just as the giant was about to pounce, a wave of fear suddenly flashed through his heart. It wasn't just them, but everyone on both sides had a strange feeling. Then, he saw a dazzling ball of intense light suddenly light up in the direction he had come from!
This ball of intense light even made both sides forget to open fire. In the Catus' starship, they magnified the image of the space where the strong light was. They could see that the mothership they were riding on was shaking violently, and dense and blazing pillars of fire were constantly rushing out from the hull of the ship. The mothership was exploding, and fireballs bloomed firmly on its surface. External armor blocks that could defend against strong impacts flew up, while the antennas and turrets were blown into pieces.
When a dazzling light lit up in the center of the mothership, the entire screen instantly turned snow-white. The Catus looked out of the porthole and saw a dazzling dot of light appear in that direction. There were several inverted arcs of light curtains on both sides. The arc of light continued to move and spread. In the end, a strong light flashed in the center, and then a belt of light extended to the left and right. This belt of light instantly spanned tens of thousands of kilometers, as if it was going to split the universe apart.
The ribbon of light flashed twice and quickly retracted, forming hundreds of fireballs at the center. Fireballs of all sizes overlapped and blossomed one after another, forming a fierce impact that even the flying ships in the distance could feel. Both the Catus and the Grai Giants had ashen faces. Their mothership had actually exploded!
Only after the explosion did they regain their senses. At this time, where was the shadow of Allen and the others' airship?
When he sensed the explosion of the mothership, Hubble took the opportunity to flee far away in the airship. At this time, the people on the ship heaved a sigh of relief. Hubble even hummed a tune from his hometown, but it really didn't sound flattering.
"Next, we just need to return to the Garden of Eden." Allen said, then his expression suddenly stiffened and he said, "Oh no, do any of you know the coordinates of the Garden of Eden?"
Without coordinates, it would be equivalent to fishing for a needle in the sea. Sailing in the universe was not like sailing on a planet. As long as one knew the approximate location of their destination, they could also determine the direction through the stars and the sun, and thus choose the right direction to sail in. But in the universe, without coordinates, even if the flight path deviated by a little, they would not be able to reach the white land.
Who would have thought that the mother ship would be far away from the Garden of Eden? Naturally, there would be no coordinates of that super planet. Immediately, the atmosphere in the driver's seat quietly froze. At this moment, Hubble let out a "eh" sound. Allen asked, "What's wrong?"
"It's a little strange." Hubble fiddled with the joystick. "Why did this thing suddenly not listen to me?"
"What do you mean?" Allen walked forward and saw that Hubble's hands had left the joystick, but the joystick was actually operating on its own. At this time, the battleship made a turn and flew in another direction. Allen's expression immediately changed, "Not good, someone has remotely controlled our operating system!"
Hearing this, everyone's expressions immediately became solemn.
Earth.
It was already winter, and most of the surface was covered in snow. In the hundreds of years since the Battle of Dawn, the radiation on the surface had been decreasing year by year. For nearly a hundred years, the Federation had devoted itself to the purification of environmental pollution, and it had been very effective. Nowadays, the amount of radiation on the surface had been reduced to the range that the human body could withstand. Every year, the number of babies affected by radiation was declining, while the average lifespan of ordinary people was increasing. From the average lifespan of forty years a hundred years ago, it had quietly increased to about fifty to sixty years now. From the change in the average lifespan, one could see the change in the environment.
However, there was no doubt that compared to the floating island, the surface could still be described as harsh.
In recent years, because the Gate of Freedom and the Federation had become enemies, the lives of ordinary people had become even more difficult. However, for Van der Sie Town, the political changes did not have much of an impact on the town. After all, the surface was sparsely populated, and the influence of politics was limited to the important cities in the administrative districts. For example, this small town was located under a continuous mountain range, separated by a large area of primeval forest. No matter how strong the wind and rain outside was, it was always difficult to affect this small town.
The town was named after the first mayor, and there were less than twenty people in the first batch to arrive at the town. At that time, the mayor, Van der Sie, was still a captain. After retiring, he brought a few old subordinates to settle down here. They burned the forest here, opened up the land, and gradually developed into a village, and then from a village to a small town. Today, Van der Sie Town already had over a hundred families and a population of more than four hundred. The town expanded several times, but it still maintained its isolated way of life.
It was winter now, and the farmland was covered with winter snow and could not be farmed. Most of the wild beasts had entered hibernation. As for the few that did not hibernate, they were extremely dangerous. Even the most experienced hunter in the town wouldn't have any ideas about them. All work in the town stopped, and most people had stocked up on enough food before winter. The long winter was mostly time for sleeping and socializing.
At this season, merchants rarely visited. So when an unmarked flying car drove into the town, everyone's curiosity was immediately piqued. Most of the townspeople had never seen a high-end item like a flying car in their entire lives. Occasionally, only some merchants who bought mountain goods would appear in flying cars, but most of those flying cars were cheap goods. How could they be as shiny as this one?
The flying car finally stopped in front of the blacksmith Baventer's house. Baventer was one of the few blacksmiths in town. He had settled in town twenty years ago. There were five or six iron doctors in town, but everyone agreed that Baventer was the best. Moreover, he was proficient in many skills. Not only could he forge swords and sabers, he could also forge simple armor, tools for catching beasts, or farming supplies. In fact, Baventer had made several shotguns. From the body of the gun to the internal parts, he made them all by himself. The only thing he relied on was a not-so-sophisticated electronic machine tool.
When the flying car stopped, a butler-like man came out of the driver's seat. Then he opened the door and respectfully said to a figure in the car, "Master, we're here."
So the figure got out of the flying car and appeared under the winter sun. This was an elderly man with a faint dignity. He raised his head and looked at the low house in front of him. There were even some leaks on the roof of the wooden house. The chimney had been used for an unknown number of years. It was surrounded by a layer of charcoal, and grey smoke was being emitted from time to time. As for the window, the door, and the wooden steps, they all told the word 'broken'. The man laughed and said to the butler, "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed that Old General Mei Slin's royal craftsman, Baventer, would be hiding in such a place."
The butler smiled and said, "But I still can't hide it from Master's eyes and ears."
