Chapter 218 Omega She is weak and can't be bullied 34
At dawn that day, a group of six spaceships quietly approached the planet where the energy supply station was located.
They moved forward at full speed, carefully avoiding known surveillance posts.
However, when the horse landed, it was discovered by pirates and immediately sounded a shrill alarm.
Red lights flickered one after another, and the pirate starships sleeping in the dark were awakened in an instant and surrounded them.
Charles stood in the middle starship with a sullen expression, and said to the person on the other end of the headset: "Support immediately, prepare for battle!"
He then switched to Mingnan's channel and whispered, "We have already lured the guards away. When we start fighting, find a chance to get close. Be careful!"
Mingnan stood alone in the control room, staring at the transparent glass in front of him. The fire from the explosion in the distance was reflected in his eyes. He said calmly, "I understand."
Huo Ye had been away for the past few days, and the alliance's army had been avoiding fighting. The pirates could neither hit nor catch up, and they had been very angry. Tonight, they went against their usual behavior and launched such a strong attack, which instantly ignited the pirates' will to fight and anger.
They urgently needed a resounding victory to prove their strength, so they didn't think about whether Charles and the others had other plans. They just thought that they wanted to break into the energy supply station because they were worried about Huo Ye.
The pirates immediately launched a fierce counterattack.
Seeing that there was a gap in the defense behind the energy supply station, Mingnan seized the opportunity and immediately maneuvered the starship to approach rapidly.
As they approached, 205 reminded her: "Host, we have entered their surveillance range. If we go any further, their instruments will detect us and trigger their defense mechanism."
Mingnan smiled and said, "Really? Then let me see whether the magic of the immortal cultivation world is more powerful or their monitoring equipment is better."
She raised her hands and flexibly formed a spell with her fingers. The next moment, an invisible energy quickly spread from her body to the surroundings, enveloping the entire starship.
In a flash, the starship quickly passed through the numerous surveillance posts without triggering any alarms.
205 was sweating and muttered: [It seems that the magic of the immortal world is still better. ]
The starship landed smoothly on the open space of the energy supply station.
Mingnan did not come down immediately, but first observed the situation near the energy supply station.
The supply station is very large, with an open space in the middle and tower-like monitoring posts around it. The energy is stored underground. When they need to replenish energy, they land the starship on the open space, open the starship's supply port, and place the conveyor belt at a specific location. The energy will then be transmitted into the starship for rapid replenishment.
There were no starships coming to deliver supplies at this time, and the surroundings were very quiet. Through the window on the surveillance post, several figures could be seen walking back and forth.
[Host, what are you looking at? Aren't you going to look for Huo Ye? ]
Mingnan said: "I am looking at the defense situation here. Now that we are here, it is pointless to just look for more people. No matter when, energy is the key to war. Once energy and food are not available, the pirates will immediately be caught in a dilemma. Then we can easily win this battle."
She took note of the general situation, prepared a retreat, and then quietly drove the starship away.
[205, Have you found Huo Ye's location? ]
205 said in embarrassment: [It's strange, I can't locate his position, I don't know if there is something around that interferes with the system detection. ]
"I still have to rely on myself at the critical moment." Mingnan was helpless. He closed his eyes and silently activated the contract in his body.
There was another reason why she insisted on coming - she was sure that Huo Ye was not dead.
Previously in the world of immortals, they had formed a soul contract, and this contract would always follow them.
No matter how many lifetimes have passed, as long as they are in the same world, she can rely on this contract to find him.
I just didn't expect that this contract would come in handy in the interstellar world.
However, the spiritual energy here is thin, and the effect of the soul contract is limited. It can only be used once, so she must use it when she is as close to Huo Ye as possible in order to better define the range.
She closed her eyes, and all she saw was darkness.
As her mind moved, a cluster of small golden-red flames suddenly lit up. After floating in the air for a few circles, they suddenly flew in one direction.
Mingnan followed suit, and several images immediately flashed before his eyes: a deep and bottomless cave, a forest with towering ancient trees, a clear stream, and a pistol with Huo Ye's name engraved on it.
Here it is!
Mingnan immediately opened his eyes and said to 205: "Look here, there is a forest. There is a clear stream in the forest. Huo Ye's gun is near the stream."
205 asked suspiciously: [How do you know? ]
"Time is tight. I don't have time to explain to you. Find someone first. Hurry up, my most reliable brother Tong!" Mingnan urged.
[You think I'm reliable now?] 205 snorted proudly, and his attention was successfully diverted.
It drew a map of the nearby terrain and transmitted it to the control console.
Mingnan took a look and immediately locked onto the target, maneuvering the starship to the west.
…
"You guys go take a look at the front."
"Search closely around the stream. A person must drink water to stay alive, so there will definitely be traces of it nearby!"
"Hey, there seem to be footprints here——"
"It's really a footprint! Judging from the size, it's that of an adult man. Maybe it's really Huo Ye!"
"Quick, follow the footprints and search forward. We must catch him today!"
Listening to the noisy sound not far away, Huo Ye leaned against the stone wall, exhaled a breath of hot air, and slowly tightened the dagger in his hand.
Today's fierce battle is inevitable.
In his other hand he clutched the cherry brooch tightly.
The edge of the brooch left deep marks on his palms, but he was completely unaware of it, as if he was grasping at a life-saving straw.
"There's a cave ahead. Quick, fence it off and search inside!"
The footsteps were approaching quickly. Huo Ye listened with bated breath. There were probably more than ten people coming from the other side.
He also heard the sound of bullets being loaded.
One versus ten, the chances of winning are slim.
Huo Ye laughed silently.
But he promised Mingnan that he would go back.
He opened his eyes, gritted his teeth, stood up against the stone wall, and hid in the dark, ready to take advantage of the opportunity to kill two of them when they came in. If he could snatch their guns, his chances of winning would be better.
"Tick", "Tick", "Tick——"
The sound of military boots was getting closer and closer, and all the hair on Huo Ye's body stood on end, and his muscles were tense to the extreme. He was like a lone wolf who was seriously injured and on the verge of death, crazy and calm, gathering momentum in the dark.
Getting closer!
Closer!
The sunlight shone in from outside the cave, fell on the leader, and cast his shadow on the ground.
Huo Ye stared at him intently.
At the critical moment, he held his breath, grasped the dagger tightly, and was about to rush forward -
“Bang, bang, bang—”
"ah!"
"Oh no! Someone's sneaking up on us!"
Suddenly, there was a burst of dense gunfire outside, which instantly disrupted the pirates' formation and they retreated one after another.
Huo Ye was stunned. Before he could figure out what was going on, he heard the haunting voice coming from outside.
"Thank you for showing me the way. As a reward, I will personally send you off. You're welcome~"
"Mingnan?!" Huo Ye's cracked lips moved and he murmured harshly.
Is he dreaming?
