"Has the distress signal been sent?"
In the main control room, the captain was sweating profusely, and the operators beside him were panicking.
"Our communication has been jammed. All signals have been intercepted."
"How is that possible? Short Horn Star's communication system is a high-grade product bought from a galactic civilization. How can these scavengers have such a high-grade jamming device?"
The captain was furious. Interstellar communication was universal and had a variety of technologies, so jamming devices were very expensive. Furthermore, the enemy had an anti-jump device that could disrupt space and limit warp. The captain was on the verge of breaking down.
Did these scavengers have to be so capable?
Short Horn Star could not escape or call for help. It was surrounded by scavengers. They could still hold on for a short period of time with the shield and armor of the spaceship. There was still hope for them to escape. Perhaps the high-energy reaction here would be captured by Godora's detectors, and the guards would come to help them.
In a prosperous galactic region, the ruling civilization would maintain the security of the galactic region. Detectors were very sensitive, and some of them were fixed in position. They were monitored by artificial intelligence in real time, which was equivalent to a warning zone. If something like what happened to Short Horn Star happened, they could move toward the detectors and alert them indirectly. Usually, the signal strength of the detectors was military grade. There was a high chance of breaking through the jamming device, or the warning zone was larger than the jamming device.
At this time, Short Horn Star was flying toward the nearest detector. They could not warp, so they could only fly. At full speed, they would reach the warning zone in about twenty to twenty-five minutes. The scavenger spaceship was small and sensitive. It had a strong jamming ability, and its attack power was mediocre. The shield could barely hold on for this period of time.
However, the enemy that had boarded the spaceship was an imminent danger. The bodyguards on the spaceship were retreating, and the enemy's target was definitely the main control room.
Once the main control room was taken over, it would mean that Short Horn Star was lost. They could only dream of escaping.
"Only a third of the bodyguards are left. They're retreating. They can't stop the enemy … It's over. The scavengers are heading toward the main control room. Captain, what do we do now?" An assistant looked at the screen and trembled nervously.
"Try negotiating!" The captain clenched his teeth and turned on the radio. With a glimmer of hope, he expressed that he was willing to pay for the passage fee. There was no response from the scavengers. It was obvious that they wanted to swallow the entire spaceship.
The scavengers had blocked the signals that were emitted outwards. The ship's internal broadcast was an independent line, so it could still be used.
On the screen, the guards fell to the ground one after another. The captain was burning with anxiety. Suddenly, his expression changed and he hurriedly asked, "Quick, pull up the passenger list. Is there anyone powerful?"
Soon, someone filtered through the passenger list, and the identity information of a few people was displayed. They were all combat personnel with some small names, and the most famous of them was the high-level mercenary [Green Knight].
"Green Knight! It's him! That's great! "
The captain was overjoyed. He hurriedly turned on the radio and said, "Dear passengers, the situation is very urgent. The scavengers are rushing to the main control room. I hope that passengers with combat strength can help. This is also saving yourselves. I will pay a high reward …"
In the current situation, they had no choice but to make every possible effort. They had to defeat the enemy boarding the ship in order to have a chance to escape. The passengers were their last straw of hope.
The captain could only place his hopes on the passengers, especially the famous Green Knight. He secretly prayed.
…
Hu — —
The warhammer swept horizontally, creating a shockwave that sent a large group of spaceship guards flying.
Serpent Braid swung the warhammer with one hand and did not stop moving. His entire body was shrouded in stone-gray Pugilist flames. Bullets and low-energy beams hit his body, but they only left white marks on his stone-like skin. This was his racial talent, which made him very resistant to attacks.
He laughed maniacally, and like a hot knife through butter, he beat the guards until they were forced to retreat. The battle inside the spaceship continued, and the external shield kept exploding, mixing into a flamboyant tune.
"Where are we now?"
"Boss, the VIP cabin is in front. Cesoly is waiting for you there."
Soon, the metal door of the VIP hall appeared in front of them. It was locked. This time, Serpent Braid held the handle of the warhammer with both hands, spun it twice, and smashed it. With a bang, the door caved in, and it flew in.
Cesoly walked out with a smile. "You're finally here."
"Well done. Where is that Godora guy?"
"The economy cabin."
"Very good!" Serpent Braid grinned, turned around, and saw a group of cowering passengers. He ordered, "Capture all of them as hostages. Some of you stay behind to guard."
A group of scavengers took out small black metal rings and put them on the hands and feet of the passengers, which automatically extended into mechanical shackles. They were very thick and tightly locked the hands and feet. Ordinary Supers would not be able to break free, and this group of passengers was captured as hostages.
There were a few Supers among the passengers, but there were too many scavengers, and Serpent Braid was too strong. They were afraid of death and did not dare resist.
Then, Serpent Braid went to the economy cabin and captured this batch of passengers. He searched carefully, but he could not find the Godora guy. He was furious.
"I just moved to the VIP cabin yesterday, and the spaceship has not docked. He must still be on the spaceship," Cesoly said hurriedly.
Serpent Braid grabbed the head of a passenger and roared, "Where did that Godora guy go?"
"He … they broke the door and ran out," the person replied hurriedly.
Bang!
His head was crushed, and blood splattered on the faces of the other hostages. Screams could be heard everywhere.
Serpent Braid waved his hand and said angrily, "He actually ran away. Go find him immediately …"
Before he could finish, the voice of another group of scavengers came from the communicator. "Request for help, request for help! We encountered powerful Supers on the way to the main control room. We were stopped. Request for help! "
"Boss, the target is on the spaceship. He won't be able to escape. Let's take over the main control room first. As long as we seize the spaceship, we will be able to find the target sooner or later," Cesoly said hurriedly.
Serpent Braid nodded. "Then, let's go to the main control room. Cesoly, take some people and stay behind to control this group of passengers."
"No problem."
The economy cabin passengers were shackled and thrown to the side. The scavengers raised their guns and aimed at the passengers. The passengers did not dare to act rashly and trembled in fear.
Serpent Braid led the people to the main control room. The spaceship was not small, so it took them a while to arrive at the scene. The corpses of scavengers were everywhere. Serpent Braid's vision flashed, and a fountain of green light erupted at the end of the tunnel. A dozen scavengers crashed into the wall, their bodies twisted, their bones broken.
The Green Knight blocked the tunnel of the main control room with a cold face. The green light spread out and wrapped around his body like ripples. His mechanical limbs were reflected in the dark green light. He was actually an Esper who controlled some kind of strange energy that was green in the spectrum. It could be shaped, and it had offensive and defensive power. It was a variant of the Force Field Esper Ability. This was the origin of his nickname.
"Look, it's the Green Knight, Lerden, a high-level mercenary, a remnant of the Sunil Race." Serpent Braid's eyes were filled with desire. He dragged his war hammer and approached with excitement. "Finally, a powerful guy."
Lerden's eyes were cold. He was a mercenary, and the reason he helped was mostly because of the reward promised by the captain. Otherwise, he would have gone to find the escape spaceship long ago.
The mechanical arm in his left hand folded and deformed, revealing a black muzzle. Laser beams shot out at an extremely fast speed, penetrating the chests of a few scavengers and leaving bloody holes.
The other scavengers hurriedly looked for cover and counterattacked. Serpent Braid was fearless. He charged forward in large strides. The laser beams hit his body, leaving only spots of charred black. He swung his warhammer, rolling up a dense gray aura and smashed it down!
Lerden raised his right hand and released a green light, forming a burning light shield above his head.
Bang!
The energy ring burst open, and the green light splashed everywhere. The echo buzzed.
…
Rewind time to about ten minutes ago.
In the warehouse at the stern of Short Horn Star, far away from the battlefield, the sound of battle was almost inaudible. The door of the warehouse was wide open, and the way it was opened was very fitting for the aesthetics of violence. Han Xiao and the others were searching in the warehouse.
"Found it." Han Xiao finally found his box. He opened the combination lock, and white cold air flowed out. The Amphiptere mechanical suit was inside.
He quickly put on the equipment and turned on the system. The sleeping mechanical suit lit up, and the energy core shone brightly. The blue energy flowed through all the tubes like blood.
With the equipment in hand, he was in great condition. Han Technician relaxed and put on all the weapons. Suddenly, he remembered Kerlodd's request. He thought about it, kept the Wrath of Garrett, and threw all the other golden balls to Kerlodd.
"Your equipment. Take it. Don't drag me down."
Kerlodd was stunned. He put away the balls and said seriously, "I will fight with you."
Only half of the players were online. More than twenty players had gotten their weapons.
Han Xiao said in a low voice, "Let's split up. Now let's assign the teams …"
The plan was to split into three teams. Mad Blade, Fried Eggplants with Fish, and another team would control the emergency aircraft and find a way out. The Temple of God, Dynasty, and the others would cut off the scavengers' escape route and the entrance to Short Horn Star. Kerlodd and the rest of the players would follow him to the main control room. This was the most important route.
At this moment, the broadcast sounded. The captain's request for help from the passengers was heard.
After hearing it, Han Xiao's eyes lit up.
