Ye Ling looked at the light gradually brightening outside the porthole. It was not the gentleness of the stars, but the light of death formed by the enemy's energy.
She took a deep breath, her eyes sharp and determined, like a cheetah locking onto its prey.
"Ziggs, reinforce the energy barrier with another layer! Ike, hurry up and set up your 'theoretically feasible' defense system for me!" Ye Ling's voice was calm and clear, with an unquestionable domineering aura, just like a female general commanding thousands of troops in the game.
Although Giggs was so scared that his legs were a little weak, when he heard Ye Ling's instructions, he immediately became as excited as if he had been injected with chicken blood, and his hands quickly operated the instrument.
Ike also took off his glasses, pushed the non-existent frames, and began to tinker with his "mysterious" devices seriously.
Camille stood silently behind Ye Ling, holding an energy dagger tightly in her hand.
Wayne, on the other hand, had an attitude of "I'm about to start a fight". She moved her wrists, and the joints made crackling sounds, as if to say: "Come on, let's hurt each other!" Inside the transport ship, the tense atmosphere was like a taut string that could break at any time.
"boom--"
The first wave of attacks hit the transport ship like a tsunami, and the entire ship shook violently, as if it was in the midst of a raging sea.
The energy barrier creaked under the weight, like a rag about to be torn.
Ziggs was so scared that he hugged the console tightly and screamed like a groundhog.
Ike was almost knocked away, but fortunately Camille was quick-witted and caught him.
Ye Ling stared at the data on the screen, her heart beating like a drum.
The defense system is collapsing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the cultural relics are once again pushed to the edge of the cliff.
She felt like she was being repeatedly pressed to the ground and rubbed by fate. This script was too cruel!
Is this the legendary "starting as a loser, having to pick up all the equipment"?
"Energy output is eighty percent!" Giggs' voice was tearful.
"Hold on!" Ye Ling clenched her teeth and felt her palms begin to sweat.
This feeling of despair slowly engulfed her like darkness. Everything around her seemed to become oppressive and heavy, and even the air became sticky.
At this moment, Wei En suddenly shouted: "Sister Ling, the enemy is preparing for a second wave of attack, and the energy intensity is twice as strong as before!"
Ye Ling's heart sank, as if being tightly grasped by an invisible hand.
She clenched her fists tightly, her nails digging deep into the flesh, and her fingertips had turned slightly white.
"What should I do? What should I do?" Giggs muttered to himself, like a little animal trapped in a cage.
Ye Ling did not answer. She just slowly raised her head, with a strange light flashing in her dark eyes.
"Ling, be careful!" Camille's voice was filled with a hint of panic.
Ye Ling didn't respond. She just slowly raised her right hand and tapped her fingertips on the operating table. A tiny dot of light appeared...
The light spots jumped like sparks, slowly expanding on the operating table, and eventually formed a complex energy circuit diagram.
It was like she was playing Connect the Dots, except this time she wasn't connecting fruit, but energy lines that determined life and death.
"Damn, what era is this? We're still playing with circuit boards?!" Ye Ling couldn't help but complain, but she was not idle. Her fingertips jumped quickly on the light spots, as if playing a symphony of death.
"Boom--" The second wave of attack arrived as expected, and the transport ship let out a painful whine again.
Ye Ling felt like she was riding a roller coaster, the kind without a seat belt.
"Puff——" A mouthful of blood spurted out, and Ye Ling's face turned pale in an instant. She felt a sharp pain in her chest, which was caused by the energy shock wave.
She looked down at her bloody right hand and cursed inwardly, "What bad luck! It's all just a bloody handprint!"
Despair surged like a tide, and the screen in front of her eyes began to blur. Ye Ling felt that she could not hold on any longer.
It feels like staying up all night studying for a final exam, only to have your mind go blank the next day in the exam room.
She tried hard to concentrate, but her body seemed to be drained of energy, and even lifting a finger was extremely difficult.
She was breathing heavily, her eyes fixed on the flashing cultural relic safety indicator light. The faint light seemed to be the only hope in the darkness.
She felt as if she had become a rag doll, being manipulated by fate at will, and the cultural relic that she had defended with her life seemed like a huge mockery.
Just when Ye Ling was about to collapse, a weak voice suddenly rang out: "I...I can't go on like this!"
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw Giggs, the coward who usually spoke in a soft voice, holding an energy jammer and rushing towards the hatch like a rabbit out of a cage.
"Ziggs, you're crazy!" Wayne exclaimed, but it was too late to stop him.
"This kid is actually a hidden hero?" Ike pushed his glasses, seeming to be shocked by this sudden reversal.
Ziggs stumbled to the hatch and frantically pressed the buttons on the jammer, muttering, "For... for the artifacts! For... for not being a coward anymore!"
The jammer made a harsh noise, and the enemy's attack instantly became chaotic.
Ye Ling's heart was shocked, she knew that the opportunity had come!
She gritted her teeth, forced herself to muster the last bit of strength, and started operating the energy console in front of her again.
"Camille, protect Ziggs! Vayne, prepare fire support!" Although Ye Ling's voice was still weak, it carried an unquestionable power, as if she had turned back into the queen who commanded everything.
