Shadows of the Deep Space

Underneath their images, the superluminal flight device preheating status of each ship was displayed.

The Sunshine, Shield Sub, and Ice Needle had all finished preheating, now just the two Level 5 transport ships remained.

They had 3 minutes and 42 seconds left to complete preheating.

Li Menghan and the others all looked extremely serious; no one dared to let their guard down.

At this moment, the scanning device suddenly popped up a red alert box.

"Warning: Unknown anomaly detected."

...

Upon seeing the alert, Timi immediately reported to Su Ming.

"Officer Su Ming, it seems the enemy is catching up, but the scan is unclear."

Tang Yan and the others were also startled, exclaiming in surprise.

"Why didn't our scanning device give a warning?"

"Your scanning performance isn't sufficient, Timi, activate the optical imaging device and try to capture it, I want to see what exactly is chasing us."

Su Ming sternly ordered.

"Yes!"

Timi immediately carried out the operation.

Soon, the images captured by the optical imaging device were displayed.

In the pitch-black starry sky, three sporadic streaks of light were rapidly approaching.

Timi quickly adjusted the optical imaging device to refresh the captured images.

The picture soon became clearer; barely discernible were three bullet-like weapons approaching.

"What is that?"

Timi and the others exclaimed in shock.

"Three Silver Executors!"

Su Ming suddenly stood up from the command chair, face turning pale.

"What are Silver Executors?"

Tang Yan and the others, very puzzled, asked.

"A very special kind of weapon; they don't have drivers, each is equivalent to a Fake V Generation Mecha, and their combat style is extremely bizarre!"

Su Ming said with a headache.

"No drivers, and yet with the power of a Fake V Generation Mecha?"

Hearing this, Tang Yan and the others each turned pale.

"That isn't the worst part, if the enemy dares to ambush us, surely they won't come with just these few."

Celeste analyzed rationally.

Su Ming's expression changed rapidly, then he issued an order.

"Timi, slow the Sunshine down and fall to the back of the fleet!"

"Understood!"

Timi responded immediately.

Su Ming kept an eye on the transport ships' preheat countdown; there was now 1 minute and 21 seconds left.

Just a little longer, and they could escape.

Soon the preheat countdown had only 20 seconds left, and Timi and the others held their breath.

At that moment, from the right side of the starry sky, two Silver Executors rapidly approached; it was almost too late, as they raised their launchers from a distance.

Whoosh!

Two beams glowing with red lightning arcs rapidly attacked the fleet.

Instantly, the Sunshine and other ships emitted piercing alarm sounds.

Red warning boxes popped up one after another.

"Warning: Unidentified attack detected!"

...

"Quick, evade!"

Lieutenant Colonel Dan Sang on the Fish Ocean transport ship also hurriedly issued an order.

Su Ming suddenly remembered something, and quickly shouted to everyone.

"Quick, everyone activate all the interception cannons and missiles for interception!"

Upon hearing Su Ming's words, everyone's heart skipped a beat, and they immediately executed the order.

The Fish Ocean also began to veer off immediately.

On the surface of the Sunshine, overlaying interception cannons were adjusted, and rows of launch ports opened.

A dense barrage of beams and missiles was fired.

Bang!

A beam glowing with red lightning arcs was blown up instantly, successfully intercepted.

Although the other red beam was hit by a beam of light, it only deviated slightly.

Then the red beam instantly hit the Energy Barrier of the Level 5 transport ship Fish Ocean.

Crack!

Although the entire Energy Barrier did not shatter, it was penetrated.

Immediately following, the red beam struck the rear of the ship.

Boom~

A massive explosion swept across the area.

The Level 5 transport ship Fish Ocean shook violently.

"How could this happen? Why didn't the Fish Ocean's Energy Barrier work?"

Dan Sang exclaimed in terror.

Although the Fish Ocean was just a transport ship, its equipped Energy Barrier was a standard Level 5 Mother Ship's Energy Barrier, with extremely high defensive strength.

Tang Yan and the others were also horrified upon hearing Dan Sang's words.

Su Ming spoke in a deep voice.

"It's their secret weapon, the Energy Barrier doesn't stand much of a chance. What's the status of the Fish Ocean now?"

"Four groups of nozzles at the rear were destroyed, one group damaged, travel speed reduced, and the superluminal flight device can't be activated for now. But give me fifteen minutes for an emergency repair, and I can definitely temporarily fix it to at least enter superluminal flight in a minimal state."

Lieutenant Colonel Dan Sang quickly reported.

"Officer Su Ming, what do we do now? The Fish Ocean can't fly, and the enemy is rapidly closing in."

Timi turned to look at Su Ming.

"Halt all superluminal flight plans, everyone prepare for battle, and the Fish Ocean hastens repairs."

Su Ming resolutely issued the command.

Both transport ships carried important weapons and resources; he couldn't afford to give even one up to the enemy.

"Yes!"

Tang Yan and the others responded grimly.

"Timi, this is up to you now."

After instructing Timi, Su Ming turned and headed toward the moving platform.

Celeste and Little Grey hurriedly followed Su Ming.

Su Ming rode the moving platform to the hangar, where the rapid battle alarm echoed constantly.

All the Mecha combat personnel quickly boarded their Mecha to stand by.

Su Ming went directly toward the V Generation Biological Mecha Ilyas.

"Hey, hey, Su Ming, what are you doing?"

"Getting on Ilyas."

Su Ming replied simply.

"No, your body isn't well, you can't get on Ilyas."

Celeste said in panic, trying to dissuade him.
