Chapter 489: Escape
"It's the largest creature I've ever tried to communicate. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info "Zhao Mai sat on the auxiliary control seat on the left side of Terra and began to use the Force of Nature to establish contact with the ghost warship. After inspecting the entire battleship, he at least knew a little bit about this creature, and he was not as confused as he was at the beginning.
"Are you sure?" said Dumbledore, "I'll try it if it doesn't work." I reckon the Imperius might be able to help. ”
"It's the Unforgivable Curse, it's black magic. Zhao Mai shook his head.
"If you can't do it, the ship will definitely be attacked by the ghost's warship, and that won't end well. Dumbledore said, "You know me, you should know that I won't control her from doing dangerous things." ”
"I trust you, but I'm afraid this creature isn't that good at soul snatching, and soul snatching doesn't mean it's good at shooting. Zhao Mai said to Dumbledore: "Keep that means, I will do my best." ”
With the help of Terra's foreshadowing before, Zhao Mai quickly located the part about weapons after entering the control system. The entire ghost ship has two powerful main energy cannons, as well as more than a hundred medium-caliber rapid-fire energy cannons. It is probably because the ghost thinks that all the creatures that try to land are delivery boys, so there is no anti-landing level cannon at all. They even set aside an area for easy landing as a restaurant, which shows their confidence.
Some of the remaining ghosts were trying to detonate the ship's weapons and causing them to crash, and Terra cut off the energy supply early, so they all returned in vain. After Zhao Mai took over, he mobilized energy, and even used his natural force to help him restore his damaged organs, and used spell repair to restore the ghost clan's device to its original state.
Through the weapon's sighting system, he could see Atlantis "underneath", flying higher and faster. An entire city descends into space under the protection of the force field, and then continues to accelerate. Terra manipulated the ghost ship to follow Atlantis, releasing a large amount of engine energy to "obscure" the flight information left behind by Atlantis City. At the same time, the alarm signal appeared in Zhao Mai's thoughts, and the three ghost spaceships would soon reach the sky above the planet.
"Come on, fly away!" Shepard prayed secretly. Rodney muttered "If I had been up there, I would have flown away" nonsense, while assisting Terra in creating a special energy pattern that confuses the surrounding energy trajectory signals. In their gaze, Atlantis suddenly burst into a bright light and disappeared from everyone's field of vision in an instant.
"This is the state of faster-than-light flight?" Zhao Mai exclaimed. The reserve grain "uh-huh", stuck out his tongue in disdain, and made a popping sound. In just a few seconds, the three ghost ships reached the outer orbit of the planet.
In order to speed up, the three ships took a lot of damage, which is clearly visible from the outside. Thousands of ignition points, many of the broken spots continue to throw debris into space, and the ship's attitude is unstable under the gravitational pull. Zhao Mai didn't say a word, mobilized the muzzle, aimed at the spaceship, and immediately fired!
Brilliant light illuminated the dark universe, and countless lines of energy headed towards the ghost ship. A salvo disabled one of the ships, and a series of explosions announced that it was out of combat. The other two strengthened their energy shields and began to adjust their postures, rotating to aim the main guns below at Zhao Mai.
Zhao Mai glanced at the direction of the muzzle and immediately forced the spacecraft to maneuver to dodge. He was able to dodge bullets by relying on this advance prediction of the muzzle. The ghost ship made a crunching sound that made your teeth sour. "Can't do that!" Terra felt a punch in the head, causing a moment of dizziness. However, the advantages of such a maneuver are also obvious, all four of the opponent's main guns failed, and none of them produced results.
"Fire!" Zhao Mai only felt happy the moment he launched, and his preview was more accurate than the control system of the ghost ship itself. Most of the dozens of energy cannons with a shooting range hit, and the opponent's shield could not withstand the instantaneous burst damage, and the result of penetrating the shield was produced in many places. Although it was not sunk this time, it served as a powerful deterrent.
The two ships marched in unison, rushing towards Zhao Mai and them. There is a limit to the amount of artillery that can be used to attack an airspace, and sharing the damage between two ships does not overburden the shield. Zhao Mai fired a few more rounds, and felt his own situation in the face of damage, and said to everyone: "The defense ability of the ghost ship is greater than the attack ability, so the side with the most numbers will always have the advantage. We only have one ship, and it's hard to have that good chance of taking them out again. ”
"Then keep firing and disrupting the surrounding energy field, like covering up the real footprints with a mess of footprints. Rodney said to Zhao Mai: "Look at my picture, it's best for you to fire like this." ”
Zhao Mai glanced back at the sketch in Rodney's hand, it was obviously an exploding mass of seaweed! But he understood what Rodney meant, and all the guns were fully opened, firing indiscriminately in all directions. Only the main gun was still aimed behind him, causing some trouble for the pursuers.
The three ships that arrived early were just the beginning, and the army of ghosts quickly assembled. The second batch of five, the third batch of five...... Shepard decisively gave the order to retreat, and Zhao Mai also stopped firing, helping Terra mobilize all the energy to the shield and power system. When the ghost ship began to accelerate and escape, it was already followed by more than thirty enemy ships that were constantly emitting flames due to overloaded sailing.
In order to prevent Zhao Mai and them from escaping, the enemy ships immediately began to cover the salvo, striving to destroy the shield and damage the ship's power or flight system. Terra gritted her teeth and flew faster-than-light before she could be hit. In this state, no weapon can catch up with it, and at most it is a threat to adopt a method similar to "ship ramming". Rodney stared at the deep space remote sensing, and after a while, he breathed a sigh of relief, wiped his sweat and said, "Okay, they can't catch up." ”
"Find the nearest planet with a stargate and put us down. Shepard said to the crowd, "Let's find a safe place to hide, and when the Atlanteans find us, we can go back." ”
"Yay!" Rodney shook his fist, "We saved Atlantis, and we can continue our research in this star field and continue to try to destroy the evil ghosts!"
"Didn't you always want to go back to Earth, why are you so excited?" Dumbledore was clearly in a good mood and joked to Rodney.
"Oh, when I say 'we', I actually mean 'they', not me. Rodney quickly waved his hand and explained. As he spoke, a "hmm-......" sound rang out in the cabin, and the ship shook violently. Terra pulled her hands out of the gelatin, and said with a surprised face, "In the hyperspace ahead of us, there seems to be a very huge thing, as huge as a planet, and we are slowing down ......"
"This can't be, faster-than-light space is just a relative concept, there is no front and back, and there will be no obstacles!" Rodney glanced out of the porthole: "But one thing you said is right, we are indeed slowing down." ”
