MTL - The Legendary Mechanic (Transcendental Mechanic)-Chapter 1431 Rescue and wait for the rabbit
More than a dozen refugee transport ships galloped in the star space, panicking, and there was a World Tree fleet in the rear, chasing and intercepting them.
The atmosphere in the cabin of the transport ship was tense, and a large number of refugees were panicked, especially the most severely damaged carrier ship Baishan. The refugees in the ship almost wrote the word "despair" on their faces.
"The reinforcements called have not yet come...If this continues, we will be caught up."
The captain of the Baishan was sweating profusely. He stared at the inspection report on the virtual screen, and saw that on the three-dimensional virtual model of the Baishan carrier, each of the functional modules appeared faulty in red, and the entire spacecraft was on the verge of paralysis. One quarter of the eighteen propulsion engine groups were damaged, and the power of the energy core dropped to 74%.
As part of the area was frequently invaded by the World Tree and became a dangerous zone, some refugee planets were no longer safe. The Interstellar Alliance formed a transport force to move the refugees from these areas. This small fleet took on this task and transported a part of it. refugee.
However, in the middle of the journey, it happened to encounter the World Tree fleet lurking in the territory. An encounter broke out. The smaller **** fleet was wiped out, most of the transport ships were blown up on the spot, and the remaining fleet was panicked. Fleeing, still being pursued and killed by the World Tree fleet.
The carrier ship Baishan is the most severely damaged ship among the existing starships. The cascading module failure of the spacecraft gradually slowed down the entire fleet.
"If you hold on for another ten minutes, the engine will stall in a chain, and there is a barren planet with a number in front of you. Do we have to make an emergency landing?"
The trembling voice of the adjutant sounded, and the Captain of the Hakusan clenched his fists and hesitated.
If it is an emergency landing, the entire ship’s people will have no way to escape, but the guards on the ship can take the refugees to hide on the planet and delay time, waiting for reinforcements.
The suggestions of other captains came from the communication channel.
"Haishan, make an emergency landing, your ship has been unable to keep up with the marching speed of the large forces, we cannot slow down and wait for you."
"Sooner or later, you will be alone. Rather than being paralyzed in the sky, it is better to hide on the planet. At least there is still a chance."
"Haishan, please stay, help us buy some time and save more refugees."
Some people stand from the point of view of rational analysis, and some people make requests outright. Both the inside and the outside are to persuade the Baishan ship to stay.
"I know……"
Captain Baishan looked helpless and sad.
He understands the mentality of dead daoists not dead and poor dao. From the perspective of command, their drag is best to act as abandoned children, staying behind and delaying, and buying time for more refugees from other ships.
But having said that, he feels very guilty. The refugees in the report are just a cold number, but at this time they are all living people. Using his own refugees to help more refugees may be in accordance with the calculation of interest, but in It made him unbearable logically. These refugees are not soldiers and have no consciousness of sacrifice, and it is impossible for him to make this decision after discussing with the refugees. Otherwise, it will cause a mutiny in 80%. He can only silently lead when others still have hopes and believe in the captain. It made him feel uncomfortable to leave them behind and bury the hope of escape.
At the moment of entanglement, the barren planet jumped into the eyes of the transport fleet, and many captains' eyes suddenly lit up, and saw an unmarked small armed fleet docking on the surface of the planet, getting closer, and the radar detected the opponent's. exist.
"There is a fleet ambushing here? It doesn't look like someone from the World Tree."
"Are they our reinforcements? Forget it, no matter who they are, they are all members of the interstellar society."
"Quickly, contact the other party and send out a signal!"
For a time, many captains were overjoyed, thinking that reinforcements had arrived, and eagerly sent out a request for assistance.
On the other side, Pan Ergon and others who were resting on this barren planet were taken aback and discussed.
"This seems to be a refugee force on the run, with the World Tree fleet chasing after it."
"They are asking us for help, what should I do, do you want to help?"
"Don't help, the life and death of interstellar citizens under the rule of the three major civilizations, what matters to us, let's go, don't get involved."
Everyone quickly exchanged opinions and quickly reached a consensus.
This group of avengers is not on the side of the three major civilizations. Even if the world tree invades, it has nothing to do with them. If you don’t treat the three major civilizations, you will do your best.
Pangong was silent for a while, and said:
"In this case, reject all their contact applications and leave here now."
The captains of the transportation fleet are looking forward to the response from this unfamiliar armed fleet, but all communication requests are falling apart.
At the next moment, their expressions changed. They saw the strange armed fleet lifted off by itself, turning a blind eye to the signal for help, and drove straight in the other direction, obviously moving away from them and didn't want to support.
"They are gone, not our reinforcements."
"It seems we can't count on this force..."
The hope of many captains fell to nothing, and they suddenly stopped.
Seeing that there was no turnaround, the Captain Baishan gritted his teeth, finally made up his mind, and ordered:
"All units should pay attention to separating the belly carrier and carrying all the crew for an orbital emergency landing. The peeled outer hull is set up for a turnaround procedure to cover the departure of the brothers."
Hearing this, everyone's expressions were grim, knowing that the Baishan had chosen to sacrifice.
Although they hoped so, when it actually happened, they were not too happy and their moods were mixed.
Soon, the two moved separately. The large forces continued to flee towards the distance, while the Baishan slowed down and left the forces, turned and flew towards the barren planet, looking like a solitary streamer separated from a cluster of meteors.
In the outer space, the Baishan quickly completed its deformation, the heavy armor shell was released from the locked state, and the mechanical components were moved one by one, no longer biting, the entire carrier bowed like a shrimp, and the belly cabin was suddenly separated. The escape ship, which turned into an iron-gray body, shrunk a lot, with almost no weapon components, and forced landing towards the planet.
As for the hull left in place, it looked like a hollow armored shell. It turned its direction on its own, and the ship’s turret fired fiercely toward the rear, trying to block the approaching World Tree fleet.
boom!
The escape ship landed heavily on the surface of the planet, smashing a circular pit.
All the hatches opened at once, and refugees who were forced to replace simple life support devices rushed out of the cabin, looking up at the sky, despair and panic flashing in their eyes.
I saw that the World Tree fleet had already arrived in outer space, and a round of fire destroyed the armor shell they had left in outer space, slowly descending, and slowly magnifying in the eyes of everyone, like a falling shadow.
"Why stop?!"
"Why do you land here, you let us be surrounded!"
The refugees continued to commotion, staring at the guards around them in resentment and anger. Without their knowledge, the captain commanded the spacecraft to make an emergency landing, and suddenly their chances of escape became zero.
"Everyone listened to the order, and followed the ship's soldiers to separate,"
Captain Baishan did not explain, and now it is not the time to say more, he can only hold his face and harden his heart and give orders coldly.
He knew that everyone’s hope of survival after the crash landing was almost zero, but he still wanted to make the last effort to take the refugees into hiding.
But the next moment, seeing the movements of the World Tree battleship clearly, he finally despaired, and saw that the muzzles of the World Tree fleet were aimed at the surface of the planet, and he was planning to save time and directly wash the ground. This was absolutely unreasonable.
"It's dead... But letting the World Tree fleet fire a few rounds here wasted time, and my mission was completed..."
Captain Baishan clenched his fists, his face changed rapidly, not only unwilling, but hiding a little relieved.
But when the crowd raised their heads and greeted the star destroyer that destroyed them with fearful eyes, a bright light suddenly shot from another direction in the starry sky, piercing through several World Tree battleships, exploding a piece of firework. .
Everyone was stunned to see, and saw a meteor covered with strong arrogance approaching fast, and the majestic martial arts arrogance spurted out like a heavy machine gun, one after another bombarding the World Tree fleet, one battleship was bombed into Fragments.
Behind Pan Ergon, it was the armed fleet that had just left. At this time, he killed a carbine and maimed this small-scale World Tree fleet in the blink of an eye.
The battle did not last long. Under the eyes of the Baishan crew, Panergon led the Avengers fleet and quickly swept the sky over enemy ships and the huge World Tree fleet. At this time, only wreckage and parts were left floating in outer space. .
This wave of escapes made many refugees unable to control their emotions, and the crowd burst into ecstatic cheers.
The captain of the Baishan wakes up like a dream, and hastened to get people to contact the armed fleet to express his gratitude. However, after the other party finished fighting the World Tree troops, they still did not reply coldly, and had no intention of communicating, as if they were just a trivial help. , Turned around and left without saying anything, and didn't even bother to clean the battlefield.
"This is obviously not a member of the Interstellar Alliance, what kind of force is it..."
Captain Hakusan looked at the Avenger fleet going away, muttering to himself in a dream.
At this time, Pan Ergon returned to the main ship, and other companions surrounded him, with subtle expressions.
"You can really do it. After saying that we will not be involved in the war, we suddenly turned around and killed us."
"If we are targeted by the World Tree because of this battle, it will be troublesome and it will not help us accumulate power."
"Which side are you on?"
The attitude of several people is quite a kind of inquisitive feeling.
Pan Ergon didn’t care, and waved his hand expressionlessly, “I changed my mind. Although we don’t take the initiative to participate in the war, if we encounter this kind of thing again in the future, we can save it. The object of our revenge is three. In a civilized regime, ordinary interstellar people have no enmity against us."
"This is exposing our existence." A companion was dissatisfied.
"As far as Black Star is concerned, our existence is not a secret. If we have an adverse effect on the war, he may at any time tell our intelligence to the three major civilizations. After all, he and us are never the same." Pan Ergon After a pause, he said in a deep voice: "Moreover, now most of the interstellar society has guessed that the world tree invaded completely because the traitors leaked information. Do you think Black Star suspects us?"
Everyone was shocked.
"In his opinion, we have ample motivation to do this. If we don't express goodwill, what should Black Star really think we did, so even if we don't participate in the war, we can't completely stay out of the matter." Pan Ergon explained.
Hearing this, the few people looked at each other, faintly shaken.
——Obviously you are just a martial artist, but why do we think what you say makes sense every time you fool us?
……
The secondary dimension world, somewhere.
A space gap opened, Hailian flew out of it, her figure showing a translucent state.
Under the blessing of special talent spells and Ye Yin's clothes, her state at this time is almost "jumping out of the three realms and not in the five elements", and cannot be observed normally.
"The whereabouts of the pivot snake is secretive. The mother tree only has a general direction and range, and there is no clear positioning. What should I do..."
Helian is a little bit distressed.
After accepting the task of the Ancestral Tree King, she sneaked and fumbled all the way for more than half a year, collecting intelligence about the infestation of the pivot snake, but she could not find any chance to assassinate.
And Black Star seems to have been guarding the Shuttle Snake. For her, there is simply the most dangerous place in the universe. She adheres to the principle of not taking risks and not taking risks, and never dared to approach.
After thinking about it, the only feasible assassination method Hailian can think of is to add the "snake killer" made by the mother tree to some secondary dimensions in the area where the pivot snake often haunts, and then wait for the rabbit to wait patiently. If the snake eats one of the secondary dimensions, it will be poisoned.
Although this method has a high degree of randomness, she has no better way for the time being. After all, she cannot control the food source of the pivot snake, so she can only cast a net to try her luck.
The only advantage of this method is that it is relatively safe, without risking exposure to approach Black Star, which gives her a lot of trial and error opportunities.
Hillian raised her palm, and a group of black-green liquid matter emerged, which was the "snake killer" given to him by the Ancestor Tree King.
With a flick of her finger, a small drop of black and green liquid separated and merged into this sub-dimensional earth, without any change in appearance.
"I hope this method will work..."
Hillian muttered to herself, without a bottom.
