"Rest assured, even if I can't defeat these strange creatures in the end, I will take you out of here."

In the luxury cabin, Marlan said to the more than 300 passengers in front of him.

Each of these 300 people is either rich or noble, and they also have the right to know what happened to the Nightingale. Compared with ordinary passengers, they are much more sensible, and they all have their own ways out, although they know more, but they do not show panic.

At this time, hearing Marlan's assurance, a gray-haired old man came out and asked, "Your Excellency St. Marlan, I would like to ask, does the church have experience in dealing with such starry beasts?" ”

Marlan shook her head: "No." In fact, it's the first time I've seen it. ”

"Then I'll apply to disembark early." The white-haired old man said. A wealthy man like him carries a private high-speed armed spaceship on the Nightingale, and once he finds that the situation is unfavorable, he can easily escape for his life.

Marlan, of course, would not stand in the way: "As you wish, Mr. Aleutian. ”

The white-haired old man waved to a young man beside him, and the two of them left the crowd, and after a while, a slender silver spaceship appeared on the porthole of the Nightingale, and it began to speed away.

According to common sense, with the performance of this spacecraft, it should be able to accelerate to 0.01C in 10 seconds, and enter a top speed of 0.3C in three minutes.

But I don't know why, after the spacecraft flew for only 3 seconds, it suddenly began to shoot energy cannons into space, and after a few rays, the spaceship's flight trajectory suddenly became crooked, and after another 5 seconds, the spaceship suddenly broke into two, and a large bubble emerged from the port, which quickly transformed into a fusiform in space, and one turned around and rushed towards the Nightingale at high speed.

"Ah~~~" There was an exclamation in the luxury cabin.

"What's going on?"

"Is the Nightingale surrounded?"

"Oh my God, how could this be!"

This accident suddenly shattered the psychological defense line of the passengers in the luxury class, and people's faces were frightened, and they could no longer maintain their previous calmness.

Marlan was also taken aback, but although she was not shocked, she reacted like electricity, and immediately ordered: "Nightingale, open the surface high-energy barrier." ”

"The barrier has been opened!"

In the hologram, a bright yellow barrier appears on the entire surface of the Nightingale.

"Accelerate with all your might, get out of this star field!" Marlan gave a second order.

"Start accelerating!"

After these commands, Marlan began to zoom in to see what was going on around the ship, and she was taken aback by the magnification.

She found that at some point, the space around the Nightingale was already covered with a large number of bubbles, which were densely packed and completely blocked the Nightingale's path.

What's even more terrifying is that these bubbles are highly transparent, small in size, and extremely inconspicuous in the dark space, they did not exist in this space in the first place, they came with the previous warhawk battleship.

"Do these bubbles have wisdom when they are divided into two ways, one way is to use the Battle Eagle battleship to attract my attention, and the other is to quietly block the surrounding star fields to prevent prey from escaping? Or is there someone behind the command? Marlan felt an unspeakable palpitation.

At this moment, the voice of the defense officer came from the combat communication channel: "Lord Marlan, we can't stop these things, they are too fast, and their attack power is too terrifying!" ”

Marlan's gaze moved to the ordinary cabin, and before he could see the situation clearly, a hurried voice appeared in the communication: "My lord, they are breeding, they are dividing and breeding!" So fast! Better! You can't kill it all! ”

"Toot! Honk! The Nightingale has discovered that anomalous creatures have invaded the outer high-energy barrier, and the number of invasion points is 828, and it is rapidly increasing! ”

"Toot! Honk! The Nightingale's outer walls are under attack, and the current wall is 89% complete....... 87%...... 86%......”

Bad news after another, barely giving Marlan time to gasp and react.

Marlan felt her heart beat uncontrollably, and beads of sweat were pouring out of her forehead, the situation was out of her control.

"Nightingale, the engine power has increased the most, and it accelerates at full strength. Turn on the Quantum Jump Engine and prepare for the Quantum Jump"

"Accelerating...... Powering the Quantum Engine...... Charging fails, the Quantum Engine is being attacked by xenomorph creatures, and the energy supply is unstable, making it impossible to jump! ”

"Lord Marlan, we can't stop it...... Poof~~" This is the news from the ordinary cabin, and before the soldier who passed the message finished speaking, it turned into a sound of vomiting blood.

Marlan glanced at the warrior's condition and saw that the surface of the warrior's mecha was covered with dense permeable holes, and the culprit of this terrible destruction was the transformation into arrow-shaped bubbles.

At first glance, the arrow-like bubbles were roughly the same as they had originally penetrated the ship's bulkhead, but their speed and flight steering abilities had been greatly improved, and even with Marlan's eyesight, it would have required full attention to catch their trajectory.

"How could it be like this?!" Marlan was frightened, at this speed, she could still handle one or two, if dozens or hundreds came at once, attacking her from all directions, she couldn't guarantee that she would be able to resist it.

The scary thing is that the number of bubbles in the ordinary cabin is far more than one or two hundred, but more than one hundred thousand. What's even more terrifying is that these bubbles are still increasing, and after they have swallowed enough metal, they divide and multiply like bacteria, and their number increases exponentially.

In just five minutes, these bubbles have taken up almost 40% of the space in ordinary cabins, and at least 10,000 passengers have died.

The intruder's attack is swift and sophisticated, and it simply does not give people enough time to respond.

"What should I do?" Marlan finally panicked, and the situation was completely out of her control.

The passengers in the luxury class felt a little bad in their hearts when they saw that Marlan was silent and did not speak.

"St. Marland, think of a way!" Someone urged.

"Am I going to die here today?" Pessimistic people have begun to despair.

"Lord Marlan, I'm going to leave in a spaceship, at least there's a way to live."

This woke up Marlan, and she shouted, "Can't go!" The nightingale has been paralyzed, and all the surroundings of the spaceship have been blocked by opponents, and to go out is to die! ”

"To stay is to die!"

Marlan was speechless for a moment, she glanced at the nightingale spaceship hologram again, to her horror, the hologram inside the nightingale was incomplete, more than 30% of the cabin space became dark, what happened there? What are those bubbles going to do? She didn't know anything.

At this moment, Marlan suddenly heard a voice: "Lord Marlan, the ordinary cabin has completely fallen, separate the luxury cabin." ”

Marlan's heart moved, and she looked up at the source of the sound, and saw the young man Zhang Yuan, who she had been monitoring all the way, and the other party was standing quietly in the crowd, and there was not a trace of panic in his dark eyes.

"You mean to give up the normal cabin? But there were more than 20,000 passengers in the ordinary cabin...... "She swore to protect them."

"It's cruel, but the reality is that no one can save them, we can only save ourselves!"

This was immediately recognized by everyone.

"Yes, save yourself! Lord Marland, make a decision! ”

"Time is running out, the ordinary cabin has already fallen by 70%, and it will be too late!"

"Lord Marlan!"

Marlan took a deep breath, and finally took a look at the ordinary cabin, and saw that it was densely packed with countless terrible bubbles!

She finally made up her mind: "Nightingale, separate the luxury cabin, arrange the combat space, and arrange the outer layer with a high-energy barrier." ”

"The deluxe cabin began to separate....... Separation successful...... The battle space is being laid out..... Setup complete! ”

Inside the luxury cabin, many useless facilities are all folded and folded, and the interior of the cabin becomes very empty, which can completely allow a mecha to freely exert its combat effectiveness.

Marlan said again: "Start the independent engine of the Deluxe Cabin and take us out of here!" ”

"Starting engine ......."

"Boom~~~~" There was a violent tremor in the deluxe cabin, and the people in the hall were all unsteady on their feet, and after about 4 seconds, the tremor stabilized. Holograms in the center of the hall show that the Nightingale, which was several kilometers long, has been broken into several pieces. In the midst of the debris, the Deluxe Cabin had been retracted into a separate ship, which began to accelerate, smashing through the fragments of the Nightingale, moving forward, and encountering those terrible bubbles along the way.

Luckily, most of the bubbles don't seem to be prepared for this eventuality, and they don't differentiate into heat-resistant individuals, so they're mostly burned by the high-energy barrier on the outer layer of the luxury cabin.

During this time, Marlan was not idle, she was equipped with a mech: the two-winged Seraph, and she rushed out of the ship alone, standing on the outer wall of the ship to defend against those terrible bubbles.

At the same time, she constantly issued instructions.

"Nightingale, distribute space suits, life support bags, and self-defense weapons to all passengers!"

"Nightingale, detect the situation around the hull and report as soon as you find an invasive species!"

Most of the passengers in the deluxe cabin were very mobile and understood Marlan's intentions, and they cooperated very well to put on their space suits, take their weapons, and prepare for battle.

In the crowd, Zhang Yuan also silently put on a space suit, but when Nightingale gave him a civilian laser gun, he clicked refuse, and then applied for a 'rapid-fire laser cannon', and at the same time indicated the reason: he had experienced interstellar infantry training.

After about 3 seconds, Marlan agreed to his request and replaced his weapon with a laser cannon with a speed of 2,000 rounds per second, the weapon was large, nearly two meters long, the barrel was the thickness of an adult's arm, and the muzzle integrated with a hundred firing ports, it was also very heavy. There are 200 kilograms, Zhang Yuan grabbed and weighed it with both hands, and he was very handy.

"Good stuff, good enough!"

This thing is a big killer, and an interstellar soldier wearing a normal combat uniform can even kill an elite-level mecha warrior.

At this point, he didn't choose a mech, because he had to keep a low profile. First of all, his white angel was obtained by the Apostles of Light, and as soon as he took it out, he would be recognized by Marlan. He once killed the high-ranking gray-clothed guard of the Crimson Empire together with Lu Meng, and once his identity was revealed, there would be a lot of trouble.

Another reason is that although the situation is critical, now that everything is in the hands of Marlan, why should he bother himself.

At this moment, the nightingale sounded the alarm again: "Dididi~ Xenomorph invaders have been found on the outer wall of the spaceship, the number is 392, and the outer wall is being destroyed!" The integrity of the outer wall of the current cabin is 98%......"
