"I'm the captain of Short Horn Star. Dear passengers, we're currently under attack by scavengers. We're about to activate our engines at full power. As long as we enter the warp orbit, we'll be able to shake off the enemy. Don't worry, the enemy will not be able to break in. We have plenty of experience in dealing with attacks."
This time, the voice coming out of the broadcast was no longer a mechanical voice but the calm, masculine voice of the captain, comforting the passengers.
As a low-level travel group, Short Horn Star was bound to be robbed by scavengers and space pirates. Short Horn Star had been specially modified. Its shield was very tough, making it easier to escape.
"This is not good …" Han Xiao gritted his teeth. He just wanted to reach his destination safely. Why was it so difficult? Space attacks were a problem that he could not solve with his current strength. He could only resign himself to fate.
More than a dozen scavenger spaceships were circling and attacking. There were three symbols in total. Suddenly, Han Xiao recognized one symbol. His eyes narrowed.
"Boneless Bird?"
Han Xiao immediately thought of Cesoly a few days ago. He immediately searched in the crowd but found nothing. Cesoly had disappeared. Han Xiao frowned, grabbed the flight attendant, described Cesoly's appearance, and asked, "Where did this person go?"
This flight attendant was the female flight attendant who had seduced Kerlodd when they first boarded the spaceship. She was panicking and stuttering, "That … that passenger was moved to the VIP cabin yesterday …"
Kerlodd came closer and said nervously, "These are Boneless Bird scavengers. They must have been called by the middleman last time. How dare they attack us in public? If this spaceship can't handle it, we're all dead. I haven't lived long enough."
"Of course, no one has lived long enough."
Cesoly had a force behind him, so he could call for help. However, Han Xiao did not have a galactic force behind him, so there was nothing he could do. He was in a very passive position. Furthermore, there was no way to know what Cesoly was thinking. Han Xiao could not really read minds, so he did not know what Cesoly would do. Furthermore, if he started a fight on the spaceship, he would be chased off in minutes.
Han Xiao calmed down and said, "Cesoly is one of them, and he's also on the ship. Those scavengers won't destroy the ship. They'll definitely land. There are two possibilities. First, they'll cripple Short Horn Star and threaten to destroy the spaceship so that we'll submit. Second, they can't do anything to Short Horn Star and can only attack from the inside and land first. We can't deal with the former, but we can still try to resist the latter."
"Then what should we do?"
"You can only fight back if you get a weapon first." Han Xiaoxin's mind raced. Violence and lethal weapons were not allowed on the spaceship, except under special circumstances, such as Biomass Gear that could not be dismantled.
"All luggage and equipment are stored in the ship's warehouse."
"Okay, don't leave me behind. I can fight." Kerlodd looked like he was following Han Xiao's lead.
Han Xiao immediately grabbed the female stewardess and yelled, "Where's the warehouse?"
The female stewardess heard the conversation between the two and widened her eyes in shock. She finally realized that the Godora man was actually a follower. She had misunderstood and thought that this low-key human was the leader. She quickly came back to her senses and pointed the way while trembling.
Han Xiao did not say anything and was about to rush out of the hall. The female stewardess hurriedly said, "Hey, don't go. The spaceship has entered safe mode. The exit of the hall is locked. No one can get out …"
Bang!
The players behind him all used their strongest attacks. With a loud bang, broken mechanical locks scattered all over the floor, and the metal door flew out. Han Xiao did not slow down at all. He rushed out with the others, leaving the passengers in the hall panicking and hesitating.
The scavengers and Short Horn Star were still in a stalemate. The situation was unclear. Most of the passengers were watching in fear. He was not acting on impulse. Han Technician never liked to let others decide the result. Whether the scavengers could break in or not, he had to plan ahead and take advantage of the situation.
If Short Horn Star could escape successfully, that would be the best result. If it fell, it would be crucial for him to take action in advance. It would be too late to start preparing after the enemy broke in.
The group ran for almost ten minutes. The vibrations from the attacks did not stop. They could feel the reaction getting stronger and stronger, which meant that Short Horn Star was accelerating crazily. However, it still could not enter the warp jump orbit. Han Xiao knew that something was wrong.
Many pieces of equipment could prevent spaceships from entering the warp jump. Since the scavengers were robbers, they would definitely be equipped with such equipment to prevent their prey from escaping.
Suddenly, the spaceship vibrated dozens of times stronger than before, accompanied by a roaring explosion. Everyone staggered and almost fell.
Han Xiao's expression froze. The space environment was a vacuum. The sound meant that the enemy had broken in and the shield had been breached.
Oh my god, this captain jinxed it!
The moment the sound was heard, a notification popped up on the interface.
You have triggered an emergency mission [Protect Short Horn Star].
Mission Introduction: For some reason, a few groups of space scavengers have their eyes on your tour group. They are preparing to land on Short Horn Planet and attack it. An endless stream of scavengers boarded the ship, intending to capture all the passengers in one fell swoop. Your fate is closely tied to this spaceship.
Mission Requirements: Defeat all the scavengers and protect Short Horn Star.
Reward: 350,000 Experience, 1,500 Enas, Regional Reputation unlocked.
"It seems that the scavengers chose the second method. In addition to the Boneless Bird, there are two other scavenger groups that I don't know. The reason why they acted together and attacked us is definitely not just to catch a group of slaves …"
Han Xiao's eyes flashed. He turned around and saw that the twenty or so players behind him were in a daze, which meant that they were looking at the interface. After thinking for a while, he knew that they had triggered the same mission. This meant that he did not need to spend his quota.
Han Xiao did not have time to think about the reward. He turned on his communicator but realized that there was no signal. There was only one explanation for this situation, which was that the scavengers had some advanced equipment that could block communication. They were definitely using it to prevent their prey from calling for help from the nearby civilizations. It was clear that they were well-prepared and determined to succeed.
"The enemy has already broken in." Han Xiao said in a deep voice, "We can't count on the guards of the spaceship. I don't want to wait for death. We have to protect this spaceship. I have a plan. First, we will go to the warehouse to get our weapons. Then, we will split into three groups. One group will go to the main control room, and the other group will go to the captain and the officers. They have the authority to control the spaceship, and the enemy will definitely go for these two targets when they come in. We are racing against time, and it is very likely that there will be a head-on battle. We know nothing about the enemy's strength, so we have to be careful."
"The last group will go find the emergency escape spaceship. Such a large spaceship definitely has such a measure. This is our last resort."
It was very advantageous for the players to split up. They could communicate with each other through the interface and not be blocked. Using this function, Han Xiao could control the situation by asking the players around him.
No one had any objections and followed his orders.
Without further ado, Han Xiao led the team and rushed to the warehouse.
…
On the side of Short Horn Star, a hole was created in the shield. Before the shield could repair itself, seven scavenger spaceships extended hard mechanical rams from the heads of the spaceships and smashed into Short Horn Star. Thick smoke billowed out of the hole, and a large group of scavengers successfully boarded the spaceship and entered.
Hundreds of scavengers held all kinds of guns and shot out beams and bullets. They fought fiercely with the bodyguards of Short Horn Star. From time to time, someone would scream and fall.
The gunshots were very intense.
Most of the soldiers were ordinary people of various races. There were also a small number of Supers.
One of the spaceship bodyguards was an Insectoid Pugilist. He had six arms and used the Six Blade Stream. He moved nimbly in the crowd, and the scavengers fell one after another with blood spurting out.
Hu!
Suddenly, a huge black shadow covered this Insectoid Pugilist and quickly descended.
The strong wind pressure was like a black hole, sucking away the air nearby. Everyone around felt suffocated.
"Hiss …" The Insectoid Pugilist let out a shrill cry and raised his six blades to block.
Boom!
The Insectoid Pugilist disappeared instantly. The deck caved in, but the edges of the deck protruded like a crater!
A huge war hammer was slowly raised. The head of the hammer, which was about one square meter in size, was stained with the green acidic blood of the Insectoid Pugilist. White smoke was coming out of it, and it kept dripping.
With one hit, the Insectoid Pugilist was turned into a paper man!
Serpent Braid carried the long silver hammer with one hand. The alloy handle of the hammer rubbed against the rock skin, making a cracking sound. He yelled, "Kill all the guards quickly. The Gazers will clean up the main control room, and the Beast Hoof will control the hostages …"
For this mission, Serpent Braid had invited the help of two other groups of scavengers called the Gazers and the Beast Hoof.
"As for the others …"
