Chapter 139: Talk if you can, fight if you can’t



The battleship moved at full speed towards the path of the electromagnetic wave. The dark void was like a huge devouring net, swallowing up all the starlight. It was silent and gloomy.

[Warning! Radiation detection values ​​are increasing.] The AI's cold voice warned.

Bai Yan was wearing a black tactical uniform and standing in front of the virtual light screen. He had an upright posture and exuded an intimidating chill.

[The warship has entered and is monitoring the planet's environment.]

You can see the appearance of the planet through the light screen.

It was a desolate place as far as the eye could see. Under the dark night sky, some unknown creatures were floating on the Bay of Death.

No wonder it is a wandering planet. There are not even stars or moons. In the vast sky, there is endless loneliness.

In the darkness, only the battleship's engine spewed out a faint blue flame, like a giant creature swimming in the dark ocean, leaving a long streak of light behind it, as if tearing through the unknown fog.

[Surface temperature 60°C, mutant biological activity detected, number 1423, human activity detected 6,000 meters below sea level, scanning in progress.]

The battleship's artificial intelligence threw out hundreds of data worms, which continued to split in the air, weaving into a large data net that covered the planet.

There is no place they cannot reach, by land, sea or air.

The dominant data worm began to adapt to the seabed environment and slowly dived.

The central control system on the battleship's console can locate and control each data worm, and can also process and integrate the images and data transmitted back by the data worm.

The battleship slowly docked in an open space, automatically activated the protection system, and covered the entire body with high voltage current.

"The data bug has completed sea area coverage and is conducting high-precision scanning in the deep sea area." Bai Lishu tapped the screen quickly, displaying the transmitted data on the virtual screen in real time.

The deep-sea images displayed on the screen gradually became clearer. Strange organisms were floating in the azure water. The shapes of these creatures were distorted and they emitted a dim light, like ghosts in the deep sea.

Further in, the outline of a metal building complex appeared.

The complex occupies almost the entire sea area.

[The underwater complex has been located, and a structural diagram is being generated.] The voice of the artificial intelligence echoed in the cabin.

"So, those people who were sent here were able to build this huge complex so deep under the sea?" Op didn't quite believe it.

If the wandering planet has such technology, why has no one successfully escaped in all these years?

[Structural analysis completed.] The AI ​​continued to report.

The building complex is constructed from an unknown super-strong alloy, with a pressure resistance far exceeding currently known technology. It is speculated that the builders of this complex may have mastered technology superior to that of existing civilizations.

Bai Yan narrowed his eyes and stared at the image of the building complex displayed on the screen.

The structure of metal buildings is complex and orderly, presenting a certain geometric beauty.

"This isn't ordinary human technology," Bai Yan whispered. "It's likely a civilization unique to a wandering planet."

But there is no record of whether there were humans or other aliens on this planet before it began wandering.

"None of this matters, as long as I find the person I'm looking for." Bai Qinghan came out of the room and saw this scene.

[Scanning land buildings, on the north side of the planet, transmitting data.]

Bai Lishu quickly retrieved the new data to the main screen.

The screen showed a panoramic view of the desolate area in the north. In the center of the land that looked like ruins, there were several neatly arranged metal buildings. The towering spires were exactly the same as the deep-sea buildings.

Bai Qinghan glanced at the screen and whispered an order: "Head north at full speed and approach the target directly."

"Father!" Bai Lishu stepped forward, trying to dissuade him. "We know nothing about that area. Acting rashly now might..."

"Delay will only make the opportunity slip away." Bai Qinghan interrupted him coldly, "This layout can't be disordered. I suspect this is the control center of the entire wandering planet."

Bai Yan nodded in agreement. "Father is right. There must be a connection between the Deep Sea Building and the North Building. If we don't find the manager of Institute 404, we will be in a difficult position."

Judging from the current situation, this planet has a management team, otherwise what they would see would be criminals fighting and chaos, rather than the current quiet but peaceful scene.

Under Bai Qinghan's command, the battleship flew at full speed to the north, avoiding radiation peak areas and possible dangerous areas along the way.

However, when approaching the northern building complex, the battleship's radar screen was suddenly interfered with, and a snow-like signal noise appeared on the screen.

[Warning! Hostile interference signals are increasing, and an unknown energy attack has been detected.]

The battleship's lights flickered slightly, and the entire hull shook.

"Someone is preventing us from getting closer." Bai Lishu quickly operated the warship's defense system, trying to break the interference.

Bai Yan narrowed his eyes, "That proves our judgment is correct."

Through the light screen, everyone saw that each spire of the building complex was covered with complex mechanical devices, emitting blue light, and seemed to be running some kind of energy system.

"These spires look like some kind of signal transmitters. They may be the source of interference." Bai Lishu said after checking the data.

"Cut off the energy supply to the spires." Bai Qinghan ordered decisively, "Destroy them directly."

Bai Yan then activated the battleship's external firepower system, aimed at a spire and fired a high-energy particle bomb.

The high-energy particle bomb streaked across the night sky and accurately hit the energy device of the spire.

The damage to the spire seemed to have activated the complex's defense system. Ten small spaceships quickly appeared from all directions, forming an encirclement.

As soon as the weapons were set up on the spacecraft, the battleship's energy weapons were already aimed at them.

Ah this...

A voice came from the spacecraft, "Who are you?" The voice carried obvious majesty and vigilance.

Bai Qinghan frowned slightly, looked at the receiving end of the communication, and said in a deep voice: "We are here to look for someone, and have no intention of engaging in a firefight."

The voice from the spacecraft's transmission rang out again, its tone tinged with cold authority. "Do you know where this is?"

"Stop talking nonsense, I want to see your leader." Bai Qinghan frowned. He was annoyed by the nonsense going back and forth.

The machine guns on the tower fired at them.

It seems there is no room for negotiation.

Bai Lishu controlled the central control to automatically aim at the spacecraft's engine and pressed the launch button.

The spaceships exploded one after another in the air.

Who is afraid of who? It’s just a fight of weapons, haha!

——

Spaceship: What does it have to do with us if he hits you? QAQ

It will probably be finished in fifteen chapters. I am struggling to decide what to write for the next book. I have already thought of the characters: a tsundere beauty and a younger puppy with superpowers, but I am still debating whether to write a pair of men or a man and a woman.
