"Blackbeard, let's talk." Duan Yu's voice was cold, without a trace of warmth.
Blackbeard's arrogant laughter came from the communicator: "Hey, isn't this the famous 'Frost' Duan Yu? What, you want to surrender?"
"Let him go, and we will let bygones be bygones." Duan Yu's tone left no room for doubt.
"Let bygones be bygones? Hahaha! Do you think I'm stupid? I'm an interstellar pirate, and this is the kind of business that costs me nothing!" Blackbeard laughed unscrupulously. "Want to save people? Sure, tell the Federation battleship to surrender, and then get out of this star field!"
On the screen, Blackbeard was holding a shivering woman with one arm. She was Sister Lan, the civilian representative of the space station. In his other hand, he was holding a laser gun against her temple.
Sister Lan's face was pale, but her eyes were firm, without a trace of begging for mercy.
Ye Ling looked at the picture on the screen, clenching her fists tightly, her nails almost digging into her flesh.
Captain Li of the federal battleship was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. While reporting to his superiors, he kept urging Staff Officer Zhang to find a solution.
Staff Officer Zhang was sweating profusely and racked his brains to come up with various tactical plans, but they were all rejected by Captain Li on the grounds that they were "too risky."
"If this goes on, the hostages will be in danger!" Ye Ling gritted her teeth and said to Duan Yu anxiously.
Duan Yu pursed his lips tightly, his eyes as sharp as a knife.
The Federation's actions are undoubtedly "incompetent and playful", and the old fox Blackbeard clearly said "come here", and this wave of difficulty is definitely "hell level".
Ye Ling took a deep breath, and a bold plan took shape in her mind.
She quickly contacted Sister Lan and whispered, "Sister Lan, can you hear me? We need internal and external support..."
Sister Lan's eyes lit up slightly, and she answered without hesitation, "I understand! I'll try my best to create chaos..."
Ye Ling and Duan Yu looked at each other, with a determined light flashing in their eyes.
"Prepare for action." Duan Yu's low voice sounded in the cockpit.
Ye Ling's lips curled up into an icy arc, "I've long disliked these interstellar rats!"
The two of them drove their mechas and approached the pirate warship silently...
Ye Ling whispered into the communicator: "Remember, don't act rashly without my signal..."
Ye Ling and Duan Yu's mechas shuttled through the shadows of the asteroid belt like ghosts, quietly approaching Blackbeard's pirate warship.
Just as they were about to enter the attack range, suddenly, a shrill alarm sounded on the pirate warship!
"Ding ding ding! An unidentified mecha has been spotted! Coordinates XXX, YYY!" A shrill voice rang out on the bridge.
"Damn! We were discovered so quickly?" Ye Ling cursed. The pirate's defense system was too sensitive!
"It seems that this old fox has been prepared for this." Duan Yu's voice was still calm, but Ye Ling could hear the murderous intent hidden in it.
The next second, the pirate warships' guns all turned, and energy beams poured down like dense raindrops!
"High energy ahead! Be careful to avoid it!" Duan Yu shouted, manipulating the mecha to make extreme evasive moves.
Ye Ling followed closely behind, her mecha moving flexibly through the dense firepower network like a poisonous snake walking on the edge of a knife.
Although the two reacted quickly, they were inevitably hit by several energy beams.
The mecha's energy shield flickered violently, emitting a shrill alarm.
"Are you okay?" Duan Yu's voice was filled with worry.
"No big deal, just a tickle." Ye Ling answered casually, but she knew in her heart that the situation was not optimistic.
If this continues, their mechas will be shot into sieves before they can even get close to the pirate warships.
"Ye Ling," Duan Yu's voice suddenly became low and serious, "No matter what, we will face it together."
Ye Ling's heart trembled suddenly, and a warm feeling surged in her heart.
At the critical moment of life and death, Duan Yu's words moved her more than any sweet words.
"Don't worry, I'm not a pushover!" Ye Ling grinned, with a determined light flashing in her eyes.
The two encouraged each other and continued to look for ways to break through the pirates' defenses.
Suddenly, Ye Ling's eyes fell on a button on the mecha control panel.
The activation button of the ancient mecha core!
"Are you ready?" Ye Ling took a deep breath, a hint of madness flashing in her eyes.
"I'm at your service anytime!" Duan Yu's voice was sonorous and powerful.
Ye Ling suddenly pressed the start button...
"Here it comes!" she growled.
The energy from the core of the ancient mecha instantly poured into Ye Ling's mecha, and the originally dim body suddenly burst into dazzling light!
The performance of the mecha has been greatly improved, and its speed, strength and defense have been increased to an incredible level.
"Wuhu! Take off!" Ye Ling shouted excitedly, controlling the mecha to rush towards the pirate warship like a meteor.
"Cover!" Duan Yu shouted softly, and his mecha "Frost" also burst out with powerful energy fluctuations, attracting most of the firepower of the pirate warship.
Ye Ling seized the opportunity and locked onto a weak point in the pirate warship's defense. A special missile whizzed out, and with a loud "bang", it blew a small gap.
"Follow me!" Ye Ling took the lead and rushed into the pirate warship.
After entering the battleship, Ye Ling was simply invincible. The mecha in her hands was like a nimble dancer, easily dodging the pirates' attacks, and the energy sword in her hand was like the Grim Reaper's scythe, reaping the lives of the enemies.
"666, Sister Ye Ling's operation was amazing!" Cheers of the rescued hostages came from the communicator.
Sister Lan looked at Ye Ling's heroic figure with her eyes full of admiration. She clenched her fists and led the other hostages to save themselves.
With unstoppable force, Ye Ling and Duan Yu soon approached the bridge where Blackbeard was.
However, just when they were about to break through the last line of defense, Blackbeard took the remaining hostages and hid in a deeper secret room and activated the battleship's self-destruct device!
"Hehe, you want to save people? Then let's be buried together!" Blackbeard's voice echoed in the communicator, full of madness.
"Oh no! This guy is crazy!" Ye Ling's face changed. The current situation is that either they abandon the hostages and retreat, or take the risk of going deeper, but in that case, everyone's life will be in danger.
Duan Yu's voice sounded in the communicator, with a hint of solemnity: "Ye Ling, what should we do now?"
Ye Ling gritted her teeth, her eyes determined: "I won't give up on anyone..." She raised her head abruptly, her gaze fixed on the direction of the secret room, and her tone was cold and resolute: "I want to see how long you, a coward, can hide!" At this moment, the warship's alarm suddenly became more urgent, and the red lights flashed wildly...
"Warning! Self-destruct sequence activated, countdown begins: 10 minutes!"
