The shrill alarm sounded throughout the transport ship like a death warrant, and the red alarm lights flashed wildly, making Ye Ling's face pale.
On the monitoring screen, the originally stable temperature curve was now shaking violently like an epileptic patient, which was shocking to watch.
"Damn it!" Ye Ling cursed softly, her heart suddenly shrinking.
These artifacts are priceless treasures, and the drastic temperature fluctuations are enough to turn them into dust.
"Oh my god! I can't be so unlucky?" Xinghe screamed, and the Happy Fat House Water fell directly to the ground, hissing and bubbling, just like the tense atmosphere in the cabin at the moment.
Giggs was so frightened that his face turned pale, his lips trembled, and he couldn't say a word.
Duan Yu grabbed Ye Ling's hand, his eyes full of worry: "Ling'er, be careful!"
"I must go!" Ye Ling held Duan Yu's hand and said firmly, "These cultural relics cannot be destroyed in my hands!"
The two rushed to the cultural relics preservation room, and the scene before them made Ye Ling gasp.
The air in the storage room was distorted, the high temperature caused visible ripples in the air, and the alarm sounded deafening.
Ye Ling didn't care about anything else and immediately rushed to the console and started operating it quickly.
Her slender fingers danced on the keyboard, as if playing a thrilling piece of music.
Code flashed before her eyes, pouring down like a waterfall.
"The system is overloaded, trying to restart..." Ye Ling clenched her teeth, beads of sweat slid down her forehead and dripped onto the console.
"Restart failed! The temperature continues to rise!" The cold mechanical voice was like the sentence of death, ruthlessly shattering Ye Ling's hope.
Once, twice, three times...
Ye Ling tried to restart the system again and again, but failed every time.
Despair surged into her heart like a tide, and she felt like a trapped beast, struggling in vain.
"Beep—alarm! UFO detected approaching!"
"What?! It's that old dog Planck again?!" Xinghe cursed.
At this moment, the transport ship shook violently and an explosion was heard from a distance.
Ye Ling's heart sank suddenly, and an ominous premonition came over her...
"Ling'er!" Duan Yu suddenly stood in front of her, and the loud sound of metal collision exploded in her ears.
"Duan Yu!" Ye Ling's eyes widened in horror. She saw a deep scratch appear on Duan Yu's mecha arm, and sparks flew...
"Damn! Is this old guy a mad dog?!" Before Xinghe's exclamation faded, another series of explosions followed. The entire transport ship seemed to be a small boat in the raging waves, shaking violently and making it impossible to stand steadily.
Ye Ling grabbed the edge of the console tightly and barely managed to steady herself. She looked up at the screen and saw Planck's interstellar pirate group tearing into their transport ship like bloodthirsty sharks.
The red laser beams intertwined into an impenetrable net, and the harsh explosions hurt people's eardrums.
Inside the cabin, the shrieking of metal friction, the roar of explosions, and Ziggs' desperate screams intertwined to play a chilling melody of death.
Ye Ling's nerves were tense, and her eyes were filled with anger and anxiety.
She desperately controlled the mecha and tried to fight back, but the enemy's firepower was too fierce, like an indestructible wall, making her feel deeply powerless.
"Ling'er, you go first!" Duan Yu growled, his voice trembling slightly.
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly started up his mecha and rushed out at lightning speed, like an arrow from a bow, crashing straight into the enemy's firepower network.
"Duan Yu! What are you doing?!" Ye Ling's heart suddenly sank, and she looked at Duan Yu's back in disbelief.
His mecha was completely exposed to the enemy's firepower. Countless laser beams mercilessly hit the shell of his mecha, sparks flying, as if to devour him.
Giggs was so scared that he collapsed to the ground, shouting incoherently: "It's over, it's over, it's all over!" Xinghe was also stunned. He opened his mouth wide, but no sound came out. Only shock and worry were intertwined in his eyes.
Ye Ling's pupils suddenly constricted, and she felt her blood freeze.
She couldn't understand Duan Yu's actions. Why would he risk his life to attract enemy fire?
Doesn't he know this is dangerous?
A huge sense of fear surged like a tide, almost drowning her.
"Duan Yu, you idiot!" Ye Ling gritted her teeth, her eyes instantly turning red.
She gripped the joystick tightly, her knuckles turning white from the force. Her eyes were fixed on the screen, on Duan Yu's gradually blurred figure. A strong, unwilling emotion burned in her heart.
She absolutely cannot let Duan Yu’s sacrifice be in vain!
"Ling'er, leave this to me, you go and start it..." Duan Yu's voice was a little weak, but still calm, but the last few words were drowned out by the deafening explosion and could not be heard clearly.
Ye Ling's heart skipped a beat, and an unprecedented sense of crisis surged into her heart.
At this moment, she heard a familiar voice: "System prompt, the transport ship's defense system has been activated, and the energy is..."
Ye Ling suddenly pressed the start button, and the transport ship's defense system was instantly activated!
With a "buzz", the energy shield unfolded and wrapped the transport ship tightly.
Gangplank's attack was like a tickle, unable to shake it at all.
"That's it? You are worthy of being called an interstellar pirate? I think you are an interstellar clown!" Ye Ling sneered and controlled the transport ship's weapon system to fight back.
