Starting Cultivation in Wasteland-Chapter 358 - 238: Breaking Through

The captain made the decision to counterattack, but the energy level of the protective shield needed a process to increase.

During this time, others took the opportunity to prepare the mechas and other weapons, ready to fight the enemy desperately.

There were less than twenty space mechas on the spaceship, and fifty or sixty other types of mechas.

This small number wasn’t enough for more than two hundred people to share, especially with about a dozen flying mechas that no one wanted.

Flying mechas were top-notch items in Central City and other places, but now... they were indeed useless.

The flying speed wasn’t fast, the altitude wasn’t impressive, and crucially, they were fragile.

The enemy’s firepower was fierce, charging out with flying mechas was less effective than resisting in the spaceship.

Youyou’s space mecha, however, was not coveted by anyone.

First, she had already shown strong aggressiveness, secondly... it was an agile-type space mecha.

Relatively fragile, not to mention the endurance was poor.

But someone still noticed her, Pan Yifu signaled with his eyes, and a B-level Warrior went over, "Hello Youyou..."

The star thieves outside saw the continuous improvement of the spaceship’s protective shield and felt something was off.

Someone couldn’t help but murmur, "Is this... perhaps they have many Energy Blocks?"

The Energy Blocks were not many, purely information actively provided by the spaceship, and the star thieves on Zarif Star had no way to verify.

But if the other side lied about the Energy Blocks, then there existed another possibility: it was a trap!

The star thieves were good at reading people’s minds, feeling the entire process didn’t seem like a trap, but... they couldn’t be careless.

So the control tower spoke again, "Abandon defense, repeat, abandon defense!"

"If you continue to defend, we won’t leave anyone alive!"

The heavy fortress cannon began adjusting its barrel, originally aimed at the sky to greet space invaders.

The captain’s voice came through the speakers, "Then you should prepare for the military’s retaliation."

A burst of arrogant laughter came from the tower, "Haha, the military... you really scared me."

"Grandpa came from the military, the military is unruly, I’ll kill as many as come... maybe even persuade a few to surrender."

Just then, the energy level of the protective shield finally reached its maximum, and the captain ordered, "Counterattack!"

The spaceship erupted with tongues of fire from all angles, and some of the shipboard heavy weapons also unleashed their might.

The star thieves, previously bullying the spaceship at will, were suddenly stunned: they dared to counterattack?

A small warship was too cocky and got hit on the flank by a heavy cannon, spinning and crashing towards the ground.

This was just a civilian spaceship and couldn’t carry more powerful firepower; otherwise, this shot could have blown up the warship.

From the tower came a furious shout, "Are you damn determined to die?"

At this moment, the sound of "whoosh, whoosh" came from the air, as one mecha after another was launched out of the spaceship.

The launch port could indeed eject many types of ammunition, but a civilian spaceship... could only eject mechas.

"Counterattack!" The command from the tower was completely enraged, "Tear them apart, without regard for the spaceship!"

Someone next to him spoke up, "The Fifth Master said there’s still a lot of cargo on the spaceship."

Abandoning the spaceship was one thing, but abandoning the cargo too?

"Shut up for me!" He roared, "I’m the one in charge of the tower now, I make the decisions!"

Then he roared again, "Order, counterattack with all your strength, tear these bastards apart, this might be a military trap!"

"Try to preserve the cargo hold," a hoarse yet lazy female voice interjected, "Supplies are already scarce."

"Thirteenth Master," the person on duty was taken aback, then angrily stated, "It’s my shift!"

The lazy voice sounded again, "Even the person behind you, the Seventh Master, wouldn’t dare speak to me that way... do you understand?"

At this moment, dozens of mechas had been launched out, engaging in a chaotic battle at the dock.

The combat targets of these mechas were clear, escape if possible; if not, then entangle with the enemy.

In any case, try not to let the enemy focus fire.

However, at this moment, the spaceship slightly trembled, and a cargo hold door suddenly opened!

The door wasn’t fully opened when a shadow flashed, and another mecha dashed out, dragging a large cargo container.

The small mecha, dragging such a large cargo container, yet remaining so agile, was indeed rare.

However, someone immediately recognized it, "It’s a space mecha, close combat raider type... watch out and dodge!"

The implication was: this guy has short legs, don’t take it head-on, just hold on for a few exchanges.

But the next moment, the mecha directly threw the container, its body flickered, and it disappeared swiftly without looking back.

"No good!" Someone shouted, "Watch out, dodge!"

But most didn’t pay attention, not realizing why it was "no good."

The mecha was agile type, how heavy could the thrown object be, and how powerful could it be?

Immediately after, a deafening explosion occurred, and the entire cargo container blew up.

The sound of the container explosion was loud, but the power... how to put it? It was actually just so-so.

However, the amount was a bit small, and the quality of the explosive felt not that great, but the lethality was enormous.

Inside the container were a lot of spikes, and they were the kind with micro-explosive armor-piercing capabilities.

This was purely because Meng Ningge didn’t know how strong the internal defenses of the cargo hold were, so he added extra measures to ensure it exploded open.

To put it humorously, he always wanted to find his supreme grandfather, but he hadn’t even boarded an interstellar spaceship.

Accompanying the explosion, smoke filled the sky.

This was also Meng Ningge’s masterpiece. Although he had resolved to perish together, if he could avoid death, who wouldn’t want to?

So just in case the explosion left him a chance to escape, there had to be enough smoke to mask him.

The moment the spikes were shot out, several screams rang out.

At such a large dock, most people hid behind fortifications, yet still, a few people were injured...

Meng Ningge’s preparations were truly extraordinary.

Thinking about it, Qu Jianlei, who almost couldn’t handle the container, found it didn’t contain many explosives, so what was left inside?

They were all micro-explosive spikes, coupled with some smoke bombs.

Many who were about to fire heavy weapons couldn’t help but hesitate: What just happened?

At that moment, a human figure was ejected—not a mecha, but a human figure.

That human figure was none other than the A-level warrior Pan Yifu from the spaceship!

He knew he was facing a huge problem, and realized that no one could help solve it, he had to save himself.

That’s right, he thought the same as the captain, even without communication, they had the same understanding.

Only if I (he) rush out, can I make the Star Thieves apprehensive!

However, they couldn’t speak openly about this; they just needed to understand each other mentally.

But for him to rush out, he needed cooperation, just the captain’s cooperation wasn’t enough!

So he signaled a B-level warrior to find Youyou—that is, Meng Ningge left behind explosive gadgets, and I heard you can detonate them?

Youyou couldn’t detonate them, but during the long journey, Qu Jianlei had figured them out.

Compared to formally trained individuals, Qu Jianlei was self-taught, but Meng Ningge’s skills couldn’t even hold his shoes. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

So Youyou threw out the container, and after the explosion, Pan Yifu took advantage of the smoke to kill out, a very natural coordination.

It’s just that these two... never had direct communication, only passing messages through intermediaries.

The situation was rather delicate, but Pan Yifu believed that Youyou wanted to escape and needed his help.

With this understanding, he didn’t need to contact Youyou—they understood each other’s intent, and that was enough to cooperate during battle.

As soon as Pan Yifu appeared, there was a big commotion. He executed a finger technique and unleashed a big move, "Fire Rain~"

Countless flames suddenly descended from the sky, although they were just tiny clusters at first, the Star Thieves on site were immediately shocked.

The control tower personnel were astonished, "An A-level warrior?"

While A-level might seem common in bases and gorges, they are, in reality, quite rare to encounter.

In Central City’s population of thirty million, there are only three A-level warriors, which is no exaggeration to call it one in ten million.

The reason there are relatively more A-levels in the gorge and base is because... they are responsible for maintaining planetary order!

The Star Thieves did not expect that by casually robbing a ship, they would run into an A-level warrior.

With so many weapons and personnel at the dock, it’s not like they were terrified of one A-level.

But the situation instantly became much more troublesome because the output and battle range of an A-level were truly vexing.

Pan Yifu was exceptionally experienced in battle, and although his cultivation level was high, he did not underestimate his opponents.

While launching attacks, he moved like a phantom, ensuring he wouldn’t be locked on by the enemy.

With a few flickers, he had charged into a three-story building.

Meanwhile, the falling flames from the sky grew larger, from the size of grains of rice to about the size of a thumb nail.

"Fire Rain" is a range technique that requires buildup, and only warriors above A-level can withstand such a consumption.

Initially, the small flames didn’t have much impact on the Star Thieves.

With instructions from their leaders, they quickly found cover, and the open shooting positions were long deserted.

The current flames had considerable lethality, and some gunfire even halted.

Fortunately, most of the buildings around the dock were fireproof, and some key buildings even had energy shields.

Pan Yifu, at this moment, could successfully escape, but leaving like that seemed irresponsible.

While controlling the Fire Rain, he executed a finger technique and conjured a Flaming Arrow in the blink of an eye.

He pointed his hand, and the Flaming Arrow shot straight into a machine cannon firing port.

The next instant, a muffled sound echoed, and the inside caught fire, causing an ammo detonation.
