Chapter 382 The Perilous Nebula and the First Appearance of Mysterious Ruins
The fleet sped through space, heading full speed ahead towards the cursed nebula. Along the way, Lin Yu and his team meticulously studied the clues provided by the ancient civilization, carefully checking every piece of equipment on their spaceships to ensure everything was in perfect working order. As they drew closer to the nebula, an invisible pressure permeated the fleet; everyone understood that they were about to face an unprecedented challenge.
When the fleet finally reached the edge of the nebula, the scene before them was breathtaking. Thick purple mist churned and surged, flashing with deadly electricity, and powerful energy storms raged like tidal waves within the nebula. "Activate the highest level of shields and radiation protection systems. Enter with caution," Lin Yu's voice was calm and resolute, echoing throughout the fleet via the communication channel.
The warship slowly entered the nebula, and a violent tremor instantly followed, as if countless invisible hands were frantically shaking the ship. Radiation detectors emitted piercing alarms, their readings rapidly increasing, testing the limits of the protection system every moment. "Shield energy has dropped to 80%, and radiation intensity continues to rise!" the crew reported anxiously.
Lin Yu stared intently at the screen, his hands expertly maneuvering the warship: "Adjust energy distribution, prioritize radiation protection, and maintain a stable course." The team members took their positions, responding to the crisis methodically, their eyes glued to the various data, not missing a single detail.
During their arduous journey, the fleet suddenly encountered a massive energy storm. The storm, carrying immense energy, hurtled towards the fleet like a roaring beast. "Attention all! Spread out and take cover!" Lin Yu shouted. The fleet quickly dispersed, the warships nimbly navigating the storm, attempting to find its weak points.
While trying to evade, a warship was struck by a powerful electric current, its shield shattering instantly and leaving charred marks on its hull. "Immediately initiate emergency repairs and activate the backup shield!" Lin Yu swiftly issued the rescue order, and other warships quickly converged to provide cover for their injured comrade.
Thanks to everyone's efforts, the damaged warship finally regained some of its functionality and caught up with the fleet. After a series of thrilling evasive maneuvers, the fleet finally escaped the energy storm's onslaught temporarily. However, before they could even catch their breath, a dense cluster of meteorites appeared ahead. These meteorites shimmered with an eerie light, clearly also affected by the nebula's energy.
"Activate the automatic avoidance system and proceed with caution," Lin Yu calmly commanded. The warships dodged and weaved through the meteorite cluster, with meteors occasionally grazing past them and making a piercing sound. Just as the fleet was about to pass through the meteorite cluster, one warship's engine was struck by a meteorite, damaging its propulsion system.
"Focus all efforts on repairing the engines; other warships provide towing," Lin Yu decisively ordered. With the fleet's combined efforts, the damaged warship was slowly towed out of the asteroid field. After a period of intense repair work, the engines finally regained some power.
After overcoming numerous difficulties, the fleet finally discovered a mysterious ruin deep within the nebula. The ruin's gate was tightly shut, its surface covered with strange symbols and patterns, exuding an ancient and mysterious aura. "This is it. Approach carefully and see if you can find a way to open the gate," Lin Yu said.
The fleet slowly approached the ruins. When they were only a few hundred meters away, an energy shield suddenly rose around the ruins, and countless defensive weapons emerged from within, aiming at the fleet. "Oh no, the defense mechanism has been triggered!" Ellie exclaimed.
Lin Yu quickly made a judgment: "Don't act rashly. First, try to establish communication with the defense system and state our purpose." The communication device was quickly activated, and Lin Yu said into the communication channel: "We are here to find the lost artifact and have no intention of damaging the ruins. Please deactivate the defenses; we need your help." However, they were met only with silence; the defensive weapons remained poised to fire.
Faced with the formidable defenses of these ruins, can the fleet find a way to break through and successfully enter? And can they find the lost artifacts within the ruins and unravel the mysteries of this ancient power?
