Following the loud roar of the machinery, the two alloy steel plates at the entrance that were at least thirty centimeters thick quickly closed together, sealing the several thousand soldiers of the allied forces at the highest level of Owls Base. There was no way for them to retreat.
"Damn it! We've been tricked! "
"This is Dao Ba's scheme. What should we do? What should we do? "
The soldiers began to panic. They all shouted at the leaders, hoping that they would quickly come up with a plan.
Ning Baichen's lips curled into an almost imperceptible smile. Looks like the plan didn't fail; it's just that it's a little slower than expected. Now, it all depends on Bai Nan's sound wave ability.
Ning Baichen coldly swept his eyes across his surroundings. It was as if he could already see victory right before his eyes. As long as he wiped out all the people from these seven great powers, the surrounding 200,000 lightyears would become his world. Riches and beauties would come rolling in.
"Haha, don't panic. I will explain this matter to you now." Xia Fei chuckled as he held the communicator in the command center. His voice was suddenly transmitted from all directions to the center of the plaza, causing the already panicking warriors to feel even more fear.
Ning Baichen was taken aback. What's going on? Who was the person who spoke? Why aren't you attacking yet!? "
"Have you ever wondered why Knife Scar's men attacked the base when you just arrived at Yellowstone Base, knowing that it was impossible? Why had Ning Baichen gotten into conflict with Scar and the Broken Blade Gang in just one year? Why had Ning Baichen not only not taken a single cent for this attack on the Owl Pirates, but he had even thrown in a priceless Purple Heart of Spirit? You should know that this is the Wild Star Region. Even a fool wouldn't do something without benefits! "
Xia Fei threw out a series of questions, pausing for a moment before continuing. Because you all have been deceived. Ning Baichen's plan is to kill all of you and take over all six bases for himself.
It was easy for people to become suspicious when they were in fear. The moment Xia Fei finished speaking, the warriors who had gathered in one spot suddenly scattered, splitting into eight different groups according to their respective factions. Countless pairs of eyes looked at Ning Baichen with suspicion.
Everyone, dont listen to this person's nonsense. You all know very well what kind of person I, Ning Baichen, am. This is Scar's ploy to sow discord. He is lying to you all! Ning Baichen's aged face was flushed red as he cried out, his tone tinged with despair.
"Drive a wedge between us? Then why does the Ning family have a sound wave reflector hidden in their armbands? Did you already know that you would be attacked by sound waves here? "Xia Fei chuckled.
Having his scheme exposed by Xia Fei, Ning Baichen's vision blurred, and he nearly fainted. The warriors of the Ning family were even more terrified, all of them nervously holding their weapons and defending themselves, but this only served to increase the suspicions of the other major factions.
"Are they really haunted?"
"Ning Family, throw your armbands over for me to see!"
The atmosphere suddenly became tense. The people of the seven forces raised their guns and aimed at the Ning Family.
"You don't need to ask. Of course they wouldn't dare to show you their armbands. Also, do you know why the Ning Family's third son didn't come along? Because he is a disguise ability user, and right now, the Ning Family's third son is leading Scar and Broken Blade to launch a surprise attack on your home base! Your fleets are all here, and there isn't much defense at all. Am I right, Ning Baichen? "Xia Fei shouted from his hiding place in the command center.
In truth, this was all Xia Fei's conjecture, but he could tell from Ning Baichen's expression that Xia Fei's conjecture was accurate.
He had lured the people of the seven major factions to Owls Base, cut off all communications, and then sent the disguise ability user, Ning Baichen, to disguise himself as the leaders of the various bases to launch a surprise attack.
What a grand scheme, from the beginning to the end, it was done flawlessly.
Ning Baichen did not say a word, his mind already in a mess. The shrewdness and calculations he had in the past were long gone, and all that was left was a belly full of frustration and pent-up anger.
"What? They've already gone to attack our base? "
"Not good. Communications have been cut off. We have no way of contacting the base."
"All of you can go to hell!"
Both sides were already like arrows nocked on the bowstring. It was unknown which agitated warrior pulled the trigger first, but that single gunshot pushed this shady operation to its climax.
In the blink of an eye, gunshots rang out in the plaza as the Ning Family clashed with the other seven major factions.
The battle was extremely intense, and both sides were very close to each other, practically exchanging blows with their weapons.
Because the people of the eight major factions were not familiar with each other, this battle, which should have been aimed at the Ning Family, gradually turned into a chaotic melee. Anyone they did not know was killed, and corpses were strewn all over the place.
The four experts by Ning Baichen's side immediately took action to protect Ning Baichen and his two sons at the center, using their powerful defenses to block the attacks coming from all directions.
The current chaotic situation was exactly what Xia Fei was looking forward to. The more chaotic the situation was, the more advantageous it would be for him. He memorized Ning Baichen's position in his heart and turned off all the spotlights in the base with a flick of his finger.
Without the lights, the entire plaza was plunged into darkness. All that could be seen were the countless beams of light from the laser guns darting back and forth in the darkness like countless colorful meteors.
The situation was getting more and more chaotic. Right now, the warriors were all firing randomly. As for who they would hit, not even God knew. Screams and wails could be heard everywhere.
* Whoosh! *
His figure flashed, and Xia Fei used his fastest speed to appear in front of an alloy door. His finger pressed on the visor of the Windshade Mark IV combat suit, and two thin night-vision goggles suddenly appeared.
The heavy alloy door was lifted slightly, and before the door could fully open, Xia Fei ducked and dashed out from under it.
The crux of this battle was to end it in the shortest amount of time possible. Otherwise, any slight entanglement would cause the surrounding warriors to swarm over like a tidal wave. This was like pulling chestnuts out of a fire, where speed would determine victory or defeat.
Because he was wearing the night-vision goggles, Xia Fei could clearly see the situation on the battlefield.
The human eye needed a certain amount of time to adapt to the darkness, and at this moment, the vision of the warriors in the plaza was still a blur.
Xia Fei's figure was like a bolt of lightning, bursting forth in the darkness at a speed of over 800m/s, nimbly dodging the beams of light from the laser guns as he rapidly approached Ning Baichen.
* Bang! *
A scarlet beam of light brushed past Xia Fei's back, barely a centimeter away from his body.
Like a specter in the darkness, Xia Fei quickly made his way to Ning Baichen's side, hiding in a corner a few dozen meters away from him, waiting for an opportunity to strike.
Ning Baichen's four bodyguards had extremely high cultivation, and each of them had their own strengths. They used everything they had learned to protect Ning Baichen in the middle, their defense impenetrable.
Xia Fei carefully observed the situation, not feeling the slightest bit of nervousness in his heart. His eyes were focused on the spatial ring Ning Baichen wore on his left hand, where the Purple Heart of Spirit was.
The plaza was so dark that one could not even see their fingers if they stretched their hands out. Unless they were like Xia Fei, who had prepared night-vision goggles beforehand, there was no way they could see their surroundings clearly.
Chaos!
Incomparable chaos!
Sensing that their lives were in danger, the thousands of warriors all went into a frenzy, firing with all their might with the weapons in their hands, not even bothering to consider who was their ally or foe, only focused on killing.
As time passed, the four bodyguards beside Ning Baichen gradually put some distance between themselves, and the defensive formation between them was no longer as tight as before.
* Whoosh! *
Xia Fei keenly sensed this opening, and with a powerful kick of his two legs, his body shot forward, passing through the middle of the four bodyguards, his Chasing Light aimed at Ning Baichen's left arm and lightly sliced it.
* Slash! *
His hand rose and the blade fell! Chasing Light accurately sliced off Ning Baichen's left arm!
A damaged naval-issue Eagle-class frigate was docked in the void of space. Its hull had been torn right down the middle, no different from the wreckage of the other warships floating in space, as if a monster had bitten this ship in two right down the middle.
If one were to take a closer look, they would discover that there were a few words engraved on the hull of this ship: Lunar Eclipse.
This was Xia Fei's warship, but why was it drifting in space? And how had it been damaged?
There were two people in the command cabin of this warship. They were wearing heavy spacesuits, constantly looking out into space through the porthole.
Old man, will Xia Fei really come to pick us up? Sarah asked with a heavy heart.
The spacesuit was sturdy and warm, but she still felt a little cold inside it. In order to escape Red Rock Base, the two of them had followed Xia Fei's instructions and taken the risk of activating the warship's in-place warp function. That shocking scene had left Sarah with a lingering fear.
In-place warp was when the warship forcibly activated its warp engine to open up a wormhole. It was an extremely crazy method, as the moment the wormhole was activated, it would tear apart everything around it. It was not hard to tell just how dangerous it was from the damage Lunar Eclipse had sustained.
Fortunately, Xia Fei had made some special adjustments to Lunar Eclipse so that it could adapt to the energy disturbance caused by the in-place warp. Though Sarah and Allen managed to survive, Lunar Eclipse had suffered irreversible damage.
Allen nodded. "He should be coming. I've already made an appointment with him."
Sarah bit her lip hard, not saying a word. Her bright eyes continued to stare out the porthole without blinking.
A few moments later, a bright wormhole opened a few hundred kilometers away, and an Anathema-class frigate steadily emerged from it.
Xia Fei! Xia Fei! Sarah waved her arms excitedly, shouting Xia Fei's name. Beside her, Allen could not contain his excitement, either.
Xia Fei really came. He really came to save us! Sarah threw herself into Allen's arms and hugged him tightly.
Xia Fei had planned all of this. After killing Ning Baichen, Xia Fei had rushed to the docks without stopping, piloting Vampire out of Owls Sanctuary and sending a signal to Allen to take action.
Allen and Sarah had then forcefully warped in Red Rock Base, cutting a bloody path through the completely sealed off Red Rock Base.
The signal transmitter on Lunar Eclipse sent Sarah and Allen's coordinates to Xia Feis, and he followed the signal to this part of space to pick them up.
Ten minutes later, Sarah and Allen boarded the Vampire.
Xia Fei, thank you. Sarah took off her spacesuit and hugged Xia Fei passionately, a few tears seemingly dripping from the corner of her eyes.
Did the in-place warp process go smoothly? Xia Fei asked.
"Fortunately, your ship was damaged. What a good ship." Allen said as he looked out the porthole at the damaged battleship.
Sarah secretly wiped her tears. Xia Fei, are you really bringing us to the Pan-Human Alliance, giving us a house and lots of delicious food?
Xia Fei smiled. "You're too easily satisfied. That's not all I've prepared for you."
Sarah's eyes brightened. Is there anything better than a house and food?
Sarah, who had lived in the Wild Star Region for most of her life, had no idea how rich the Pan-Human Alliance was. To her, having a place to live and having a full meal was already a great blessing.
Ill arrange for you to stay in my old home, Earth. I'll give you a house with a view of the ocean. Allen will work at my company, and as for you, you'll have to go to school, Xia Fei said.
Go to school? Sarah was confused. She had never heard of the concept of going to school in her seventeen years of life.
"Yes, go to school. Go to school to learn knowledge and culture. Go to class and play with your classmates. Most importantly, once you leave the Wild Star Region, you'll be free. No one will threaten you. You can choose what you want to do."
While the warp engine was recharging, Sarah kept asking Xia Fei questions like a curious child. She could not help but be fascinated by the benefits of the Pan-Human Alliance.
Xia Fei felt it was a pity to lose Lunar Eclipse. In fact, even if Lunar Eclipse was not damaged, Xia Fei would have had a hard time bringing it back to the Pan-Human Alliance. After all, Red Rock Base had been locked down. Outsiders could not get in, and those inside could not get out.
Since the loss of Lunar Eclipse was inevitable, Xia Fei might as well let it use its own power to bring Sarah and Allen out. It would at least be a good deed, much better than letting Lunar Eclipse fall into someone else's hands.
