Chapter 620 Exploring the Edge Galaxy
The spaceship traversed the vast universe, leaving a trail of brilliant light behind it as it sped towards a distant, edge-of-the-world star system. Lin Yu and his two companions sat in the cockpit, their expressions focused, their eyes fixed on the star map ahead.
"According to intelligence, we're about to enter the edge of the star system," Lin Yu broke the silence, his voice steady but unable to hide a hint of tension. Ellie nodded slightly, her fingers flying across the control panel, activating the ship's all-around detection system. "Hopefully, we can find traces of that mysterious force as soon as possible."
As the spaceship ventured deeper into the outer reaches of the star system, the surrounding landscape became increasingly bizarre. Stars were sparsely distributed, and some emitted eerie colors and unstable energy fluctuations. The planets varied greatly in shape; some had surfaces covered with massive craters, while others were shrouded in thick, toxic gases.
"Attention! Unidentified flying object ahead!" Xiao Wang suddenly shouted, pointing to the flashing light on the screen. Lin Yu immediately adjusted the spaceship's course and cautiously approached. As they drew closer, they discovered it was a strangely shaped spaceship, its surface covered with a peculiar metallic sheen that reflected a cold, eerie light.
“This spaceship’s design is unlike anything we’ve seen before. Stay alert,” Lin Yu said, switching the spaceship’s weapon systems to standby mode. Just then, a series of static crackled through the communicator, followed by a deep, cold voice: “Outsiders, this is not a place for you. Leave immediately!”
Lin Yu glanced at Ellie and Xiao Wang, then calmly replied, "We are members of the Cosmic Alliance, here to investigate the anomalies in this star system. Please identify yourselves." There was a moment of silence before a voice came through again: "This is none of your business. Don't come any closer, or you'll face the consequences!" The communication was then cut off.
“It seems they don’t welcome us,” Ellie said, frowning. Lin Yu’s gaze was firm: “The more they act like this, the more it means there’s a problem here. We can’t back down.” He piloted his spaceship closer to the mysterious ship. Just as the distance between them closed to a certain point, the mysterious ship suddenly activated, firing several energy beams at them.
"Get out of the way!" Lin Yu shouted, quickly maneuvering the spaceship to nimbly dodge to the side. The energy beam grazed the spaceship's hull, sparking a burst of sparks. Xiao Wang immediately retaliated, pressing the weapon fire button, and the spaceship's laser cannon fired a dazzling beam towards the mysterious spaceship.
The mysterious spaceship was highly maneuverable and easily evaded the attacks. It circled around to the rear of the ship and launched another attack. Lin Yu dodged the attacks while pondering a countermeasure. He noticed that the mysterious spaceship's energy shield would briefly fluctuate during its attacks.
"Ellie, analyze the fluctuation frequency of the mysterious spaceship's energy shield. We'll find an opportunity to attack its weakness!" Lin Yu shouted. Ellie quickly operated the equipment and soon obtained the results. "The fluctuation frequency has been analyzed. We have a 0.5-second window to attack during its next attack."
Lin Yu focused intently on the mysterious spaceship's movements, waiting for the perfect moment. Sure enough, the mysterious spaceship launched another attack, energy beams raining down upon them. Lin Yu abruptly pulled the control stick, the spaceship tracing a daring arc through the air, successfully dodging the attack while simultaneously catching the moment the energy shield rippled.
"Attack!" Lin Yu shouted, and Xiao Wang immediately pressed the launch button. A powerful energy beam accurately struck the weak point in the mysterious spaceship's energy shield. With a loud bang, the mysterious spaceship's shield shattered instantly, and a crack appeared in the hull.
The mysterious spaceship appeared to be severely damaged; it wobbled a few times in the air before quickly fleeing. Lin Yu didn't immediately give chase, knowing that venturing deeper might lead to even greater danger. "Let them escape first. We'll continue forward, keeping an eye on our surroundings."
The spaceship continued its exploration of the outer reaches of the star system, and as they ventured deeper, they discovered some strange planetary structures. These structures were made of an unknown material and emitted mysterious energy fluctuations. Lin Yu and his team landed on one of these planets, preparing for a closer look.
As they stepped out of the spaceship, a biting wind swept over them. The surrounding environment was desolate; massive buildings stood starkly against the barren land, appearing particularly eerie. They cautiously approached the largest building, but just as they neared its entrance, the ground suddenly trembled violently, and a swarm of mechanical creatures surged out from all directions, surrounding them. These mechanical creatures were completely different from those they had encountered before; they were equipped with various strange weapons, and their eyes flashed red, revealing a chilling killing intent. In this unfamiliar and dangerous environment, facing the sudden attack of these mechanical creatures, could Lin Yu and his companions once again break through the encirclement and uncover the true nature of the mysterious force?
