"Emergency family recall..." Duan Yu's voice was low, like a basin of cold water that extinguished the joy in Ye Ling's heart.
She raised her head from his arms and saw the uneasiness flashing in his eyes, and her heart tightened.
"So sudden?" Ye Ling held Duan Yu's hand, and the coldness of his palm could be felt at her fingertips.
Duan Yu nodded helplessly and gently stroked Ye Ling's cheek, "I will come to you after I finish dealing with family affairs." His eyes were deep and firm, but with a hint of anxiety that was difficult to conceal.
After a brief farewell, Duan Yu turned around and boarded a small aircraft, quickly disappearing into the vast starry sky.
Ye Ling stood there, looking at the direction he left, with an indescribable uneasiness in her heart.
The lonely atmosphere was like an invisible net, surrounding her tightly.
She clenched her fists tightly and swore in her heart: "I will complete the task as soon as possible and find you!"
The transport ship continued sailing towards the next cultural relic safety point.
The atmosphere in the cabin was depressing. Ye Ling stood alone by the porthole, staring at the twinkling stars outside the window, with a lot of thoughts in her mind.
Suddenly, a shrill alarm broke the silence of the cabin, and the red warning lights flashed wildly.
"Report! We've been attacked by interstellar pirates!" The communicator's voice trembled slightly.
Ye Ling's heart sank, and a chill ran from the soles of her feet to the top of her head.
She walked quickly to the bridge and saw through the huge porthole that several pirate ships were approaching them menacingly.
These spaceships have hideous paint jobs and fierce firepower, and it's obvious at first glance that they are not ordinary interstellar pirates.
"This time's enemy... is not easy to deal with." Ye Ling said in a low voice, with a hint of solemnity in his tone.
She felt that this crisis was more serious than any previous one.
A tense and depressing atmosphere enveloped the entire transport ship, as if fate had once again set up numerous difficulties for Ye Ling.
"Prepare for battle!" Ye Ling gave the order decisively, with a determined look in her eyes...
She turned around suddenly and looked at Camille on the console, "Activate all defense systems!"
The alarm sounded sharp and piercing, like steel needles piercing Ye Ling's eardrums.
The transport ship shook violently, as if it would be torn apart at any time.
She clutched the operating table tightly, her face pale and her heart beating like a drum.
Damn, these pirates must be on drugs, their attack is so fierce!
The transport ship's energy shield flashed a dangerous red light, like a punctured balloon that could collapse at any time.
Ye Ling could clearly hear the sharp sound of metal tearing, like the roar of a wild beast, which made her anxious.
If the cultural relics were damaged, how would she explain this to Duan Yu and to history?
!
"Vayne, how's the defense system?!" Ye Ling yelled at Wayne, her voice a little distorted due to nervousness.
Wayne was sweating profusely, his fingers flying on the console, "Almost there! Just a little bit more!"
Ye Ling felt like she was about to collapse under the pressure.
The firepower of these pirates is so strong, it’s like they are cheating!
She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.
At this moment, an unexpected figure appeared beside Vayne - Ziggs!
"Giggs? You...shouldn't you be..." Ye Ling was so surprised that her jaw almost dropped.
This timid cultural relic preservation expert did not hide, but stood in the most dangerous place!
"Ahem, I, I am also a member of the Interstellar Alliance. I can't just hide behind..." Giggs' voice was still trembling, but his eyes were extremely firm.
He skillfully operated the auxiliary system to help Wayne repair the damaged defense program.
"Oh my god, Giggs, you can do this?!" Ike was also shocked, feeling that his understanding of Giggs over the years had been overturned.
"Ahem, I understand a little, a little..." Giggs scratched his head embarrassedly.
Ye Ling felt a warm current surge in her heart.
At this critical moment, everyone is trying their best.
She looked sharply at Camille, who gave her a determined look in return.
"Report! The defense system has been repaired!" Wayne shouted excitedly.
Ye Ling breathed a sigh of relief, feeling as if the huge rock pressing on her chest had finally fallen to the ground.
However, before everyone could breathe a sigh of relief, the transport ship shook violently again.
The alarm sounded again, more urgent and harsher than before.
"What's going on?!" Ye Ling's heart rose to her throat again.
"The hull is severely damaged! The energy system is about to collapse!" The communicator's voice was filled with a hint of despair.
"Oh no..." Ye Ling's face turned pale in an instant.
She suddenly remembered the ancient code disk that Duan Yu gave her before he left. Could it be...
"Wait!" Ye Ling suddenly interrupted the communicator, "Concentrate all energy on the main engine! Now!"
Everyone looked at Ye Ling in confusion, not understanding what she was going to do.
Ye Ling did not explain, but tightly gripped the code disk in her hand, a look of determination flashing in her eyes...
Ye Ling inserted the cipher disk into the console, and a string of ancient characters emerged, like jumping notes, mysterious and strange.
She took a deep breath and quickly entered the instructions according to the method she remembered.
The transport ship's weapon system began to emit a low roar, as if a sleeping giant was waking up.
"Everyone, pay attention! Prepare to counterattack!" Ye Ling's voice was full of power, like a reassurance, allowing the panicked crowd to find their backbone.
The modified weapon system was incredibly powerful. Beams of energy streaked across the starry sky and accurately hit the pirate spaceship.
