Sheyan sucked in a breath of cold air when he heard the news. As the saying goes, no one is perfect. Sheyan knew that he was not very good at piloting, let alone air combat. Besides, the Wasp was basically an escape ship. It was not equipped with any weapons! This undoubtedly increased the pressure on him!
General Mungo continued in a hoarse voice.
"We've been using all our energy to suppress the communication of the Predators, and it seems to be very effective. The spaceship you're piloting is a specially-made Defender Ship, which has a very strong stealth ability. The spaceship that attacked you was also piloted by an unmanned battleship. With these three factors combined, it won't be easy for the battleship to find you!"
"So, as long as you hide carefully, it won't be difficult for you to return safely! Remember, as long as you escape from the asteroid belt, you'll be able to survive. The other Advance Base "Sydney" has also arrived here, so the Predator bastards won't dare to chase after you. Otherwise, you'll be turned into space fireworks by the concentrated fire of the Longsong Cannons! " Although the technology of the Predators was more advanced than that of the human race, the gap was only between the same era. Under normal circumstances, it was very difficult for a starship to compete with a Stronghold that had given up its mobility, let alone when two Strongholds were placed side by side. The terrifying concentrated fire of the Stronghold cannons could even destroy a planet. It was like having a battleship and a coastal fortress fight. As long as they were of the same level, the battleship would always be at a disadvantage.
After hearing General Mungo's report, Sheyan had no choice but to bite the bullet and fight for his life. He decisively turned the engine to the maximum. The strong body of a contestant meant that although there were no relevant adjustment facilities inside the spaceship, the only thing it could do was make him feel a little dizzy and have ringing in his ears. But if he were an ordinary interstellar resident at this time, his eyes would have bulged out and he would have vomited his guts out of his mouth.
The asteroids in front of them were so dense that they seemed to be endless, completely blocking the path ahead. The feeling of being surrounded by asteroids from top to bottom and left to right was quite uncomfortable. Even the starlight that shone in was completely blocked. More importantly, some meteorites were relatively stationary, while some were still moving at high speed. It was very chaotic. If you slowed down, then the meteorites would take the initiative to hit you. If you moved fast, then the stationary meteorites would become a huge obstacle.
No wonder it was so difficult to invade Uplos even with the combined forces of the entire war zone.
Sheyan suddenly received another call from General Mungo.
"Be careful. We've just detected abnormal electromagnetic waves. The enemy should have located your approximate location and made relative arrangements. However, we don't know the details of the arrangements yet."
Sheyan glanced at the screen outside the porthole, smiling bitterly.
"I think I know … You said at the time that the Uplos asteroid belt was originally set up by the Predators, right? These bastards had actually begun to proactively accelerate the meteorite belt! Yes, this is the 'meteorite tide' mentioned in the Predator data that Cyborg No. 1 read! "
To be honest, this move of the Predators was extremely vicious. If the meteorite belt was originally like a slow-moving mass of sticky porridge, now that the Predators had stirred it up with a shit stirrer, it had completely turned into a high-speed whirlpool! If they were not careful, the accelerating meteorites inside could directly crash into the Wasp and destroy it, not to mention the pursuers behind them!
The materials of the Predator's own spaceships were far stronger than those of the human spaceships, not to mention the difference in size between the two sides. Therefore, a meteorite tide of this magnitude could not do anything to the Predator's spaceships at all.
As for the unmanned battleships sent here, since they were obviously unmanned, they were obviously cannon fodder. If they could perish together with Sheyan, it would be a victory.
Now that the meteorite tide had suddenly accelerated, Sheyan could only slow down his speed and concentrate on flying slowly. Even so, even with the nervous reflexes of a contestant, he was still in danger.
Right at that moment, the radar on the spaceship showed that two more red dots had appeared behind them. They were obviously the pursuers of the two unmanned battleships.
At present, this was the first time Sheyan had encountered such a perilous situation. However, he quickly realized that the two battleships had strangely sailed towards him for a short distance, before sailing in the opposite direction. They were like headless flies, crashing around randomly!
Seeing this, Sheyan immediately understood that the Pi paint on the surface of his spaceship must have worked. The base's radar had been jamming at full power, so the detection technology of the Predators could only display 60% of its power at most. Coupled with the powerful function of Sheyan's Pi paint, the Predators could only detect an approximate location, but not a specific location.
With this in mind, Sheyan could only calm himself down. He knew very well that whether the enemy could detect him or not was the enemy's business. No matter how anxious he was, there was nothing he could do. The only thing he could do was to do his best in this aspect. Sheyan cleared his mind of distracting thoughts and focused on controlling the spaceship. As expected, the spaceship flew much faster.
However, the Predator spaceships were not as headless as Sheyan expected. When they found that they could only roughly locate Sheyan, they adopted the hunting method to find Sheyan. They had two battleships move in a figure eight pattern to search for Sheyan. This way, they could find traces of their prey to the greatest extent.
As Sheyan gradually moved forward, he reached the edge of the meteorite belt, where the meteorites became sparse. Although Sheyan's speed increased, with fewer meteorites, there were fewer targets to search for. Soon, the two unmanned battleships approached him ferociously.
But this time, Sheyan did not have to worry about anything. After flying past a huge meteorite, he suddenly saw the scene in front of him. His already tense nerves immediately relaxed.
Because in the meteorite belt ahead, there was a blank area, and in this area, it was densely packed with human battleships! As soon as the two Predator drones emerged, they were turned into space dust by the concentrated fire of the Predator fleet! They exploded with a loud bang!
Immediately afterwards, hundreds of battleships flew over and escorted Sheyan's Wasp in the middle as they slowly flew away. Sheyan noticed that although they were at the periphery of the meteorite belt, more than a dozen battleships were still destroyed and turned into space dust during their flight. It could be seen that the Predators must have paid a heavy price to open up such a battlefield!
After Sheyan successfully landed in the Kitty Hawk forward base, he was immediately treated with a very high standard of hospitality. There was a military band, a red carpet, and all the higher-ups of the base came out to greet him. The treatment he received was incomparable to the treatment he received before.
As soon as he landed, the first thing he did was to open the rear cabin and release Ronnie, who had been tortured half to death. He then asked the professionals in the base to repair Cyborg No. 1.
Sheyan had only taken a few steps when he saw the Predator sub-ship parked in the hangar below. He was slightly taken aback. He immediately said to his entourage beside him, "Sir, I'm going to take a look at the Predator sub-ship.
"Who's the one who came back on this ship? Is it Aldaris? "
Accompanying Sheyan was Archer, who had already become a Captain. He immediately nodded and said, "Yes, sir.
"Yes, sir. Your trip this time was really dangerous. There were twelve people who went, and only three returned. I don't think any of them escaped."
Sheyan nodded with a smile and said, "That's right.
"Sure enough, the one who escaped was that bastard Aldaris. Where is he?"
Archer smiled awkwardly.
"Speaking of which, among those who came back alive, you're the healthiest, Lieutenant Colonel, followed by Mr. Ronnie. Mr. Aldaris was the most seriously injured."
"Of course I'm the healthiest. It makes sense that the idiot Ronnie was seriously injured …. What?! Aldaris was the most seriously injured? "Sheyan asked in surprise. "Can it be more serious than Ronnie?"
"Mr. Ronnie's limbs are severely damaged. He only needs to return to Alps Base 7, and his limbs can be cloned and restored, although the operation is a bit expensive. But Mr. Aldaris's brain was severely damaged by the aftermath of the high-energy laser. Preliminary estimates show that only two-thirds of his brain is left. It's already pretty good that he's still alive. "
Sheyan shrugged.
"It's good that he's still alive. The realm is omnipotent. It can be repaired directly."
At this moment, a major and two guards came over from the front. They saluted and said, "Sir, please take care of yourself.
They saluted Sheyan and said, "Colonel, the General wants to see you. He has something to discuss with you."
Sheyan was stunned.
"Colonel?"
The major answered respectfully.
"Yes, you've successfully completed your mission. You've been officially awarded the rank of Colonel."
Sheyan hurriedly checked his attributes and found that his military rank had indeed changed to Colonel (501000). The moment he saw the achievement points, Sheyan immediately felt that the gap between him and a Major General was literally N light years!! He could only sigh speechlessly.
But to be honest, it was already a huge promotion from a Colonel to a General. Under normal circumstances, in peacetime, as long as one was not particularly famous and had the three major weapons of opportunity, money and connections, the rank of Colonel was basically the limit for an ordinary officer.
If he wanted to be promoted to a Major General, he would have to complete the official mission given by the Empire. In fact, Sheyan's achievements this time were enough for him to be promoted to a Major General from a Colonel, but …. he was only a Lieutenant Colonel before this. (To be continued.
