Chapter 2560: The Spaceship Is About to Be Surrounded
“I think this spaceship probably has some stored energy reserves. We should go ask the crew members that we locked up,” Ning Shu said to Alviss.
“Warning! The spaceship is about to be surrounded,” the artificial female voice said. “They have sent us a message. Do you wish to view it?”
“View it.”
A screen popped up in front of them. A tall and strong man with a thick, full beard appeared on the screen. Nearly all of his face was almost covered by his thick beard.
His rugged, formidable aura leaked from the screen.
“Listen up, folks on the other side! Hand over everything valuable in your spaceship. I’m the one who developed this area of interstellar space, so you have to pay a toll to me. Otherwise…” The man’s face suddenly turned incredibly fierce. “Prepare to die!”
Ning Shu let out a long breath. There were seriously robbers no matter where in the universe you were.
“This spaceship is about to be surrounded. Would you like to attack?”
Alviss looked at the screen in front of him and analyzed the opponent’s spaceships.
Ning Shu shrugged her shoulders and said, “Alviss, fighting is our only way right now. It’s too dangerous to let them surround us. If we let them board our spaceship, we will be slaughtered.
“We can’t just wait for death. We can only make this bet.”
Alviss took a deep breath and gave his command to the spaceship. The spaceship vibrated for a while, trying to fly out of the enemy’s encirclement.
“Attack!” Alviss’s complexion was pale. “Attack the underside of the spaceships!”
Alviss had built spaceships for a living in his previous life. He knew where the weak points of spaceships were.
The situation became even more chaotic, and then the spaceship abruptly dived. Ning Shu rubbed her forehead, feeling a large bump forming on it.
Their spaceship fired a white beam at the spaceship that was blocking their path.
The spaceship struck by the beam exploded in a fiery burst.
“Bastard! How dare you attack first? It seems if I don’t show you a thing or two, you won’t know what I, Eyla, am capable of!”
On the screen in front of them, the bearded man angrily roared at them. His beard was shaking as he did so. Immediately, their spaceship shook violently. Something had hit them.
Alviss gave commands to the spaceship and avoided Eyla’s other attacks. Desperately, he had the spaceship move forward without calculating the energy that they still had.
Meanwhile, Eyla’s spaceships were snapping at their heels and intensely attacking them. Although they kept dodging, some of the pirates’ attacks still hit them.
Ning Shu was so shaken that she felt like vomiting.
Alviss was shaken out of the wheelchair and fell to the ground.
Ning Shu gritted her teeth and took over the control of the spaceship.
She released all her mental strength and wrapped up the spaceship.
Each time an attack approached their spaceship, Ning Shu was the first to know.
Transparent spiritual energy spread around the spaceship and enveloped it.
Ning Shu connected the artificial intelligence core of the spaceship with her own brain. The AI’s scanning technology, coupled with the response from her mental strength, could better allow the AI to carefully calculate its moves and find the best way to avoid attacks.
Ning Shu felt that her head was going to explode. It seemed that her head couldn’t bear the pressure anymore, and it was about to explode like a watermelon.
“Boss, the other party has a mecha pilot.” A man moved to the side of his bearded boss.
The bearded old man frowned. “What the hell? It seems that his mental strength is not weak.”
“Boss, should we chase them?” the others asked towards the bearded man.
“Chase them! They became afraid when they saw us. That means they aren’t that powerful,” the bearded man said.
The pursuing spaceships continued to chase after them. Ning Shu clutched her head. Her forehead veins were bulging. She was in excruciating pain.
Ning Shu steeled her heart with determination. Ignoring Alviss’s pained gaze due to how much this hurt their energy reserve pockets, Ning Shu unleashed five attacks, accurately hitting the spaceships that were chasing them. They exploded, as if they were vibrant flowers, with fragments scattering in all directions.
Ning Shu couldn’t bear it any longer and withdrew her mental strength. Her nose was bleeding profusely, and she felt dizzy. She collapsed onto the floor with a thud and lost consciousness.
