Chapter 530 Ambush and Surrender
Dense and bright lights lit up from all around. The spaceships that had been hidden in the surrounding space removed their camouflage, and their gun barrels, which had been fully charged with energy, were aimed at Zheng Shu.
There was neither any declaration of war nor any argument. Almost the next moment after the light came on, Zheng Shu was overwhelmed by endless artillery fire.
The first round of attack was the fastest beam cannon. A large amount of high-energy lasers and energy pulses met with Zheng Shu at the location as the focus, and then exploded.
After precise calculations, a large number of high-energy light beams locked onto all of Zheng Shu's escape directions. The dazzling light after the explosion even illuminated the metal planet not far away, making it look like a small ball of light had appeared out of thin air.
When all the energy cannons have been fired, the barrels and power reactors have cooled down and are waiting for the next round of bombardment, the kinetic attacks launched previously also arrive.
Electromagnetic cannons, armor-piercing shells, and missiles like raindrops penetrated into the light ball that had not yet completely disappeared. The amount of metal fired in this instant was even equivalent to the metal needed to build an entire city.
When the light of the explosion faded, the muzzles of the guns on the surrounding space battleships were filled with energy again, ready for the next round of bombardment at any time.
"Pause the bombardment."
As the commander on the flagship gave the order, the muzzles of the guns surrounding Zheng Shu, which were as dazzling as stars, gradually dimmed. However, these energy cannons did not stop operating. All of them were still on the verge of firing, and they could explode instantly as long as the commander gave the order.
"Have the enemy's life signs disappeared?"
Inside the flagship, upon hearing the news from his subordinates, the commander frowned as he looked at the information displayed on the screen in front of him.
As an underground organization, the equipment they can obtain is actually quite limited.
Not to mention high-end things like star destroyers or planetary battleships, even some advanced large weapons are difficult to use.
The space battleships he commands may seem powerful, but in fact most of them are old models that have been abandoned by the mainstream. They are only used because they are classic. In terms of conversion, their status is roughly similar to that of the AK47 on Earth.
Naturally, we cannot expect such an old model to have a high-end radar system, not to mention that the radar systems of weapons sold like this are bound to be castrated versions.
The high-energy radiation from the previous round of concentrated bombardment had already caused the radars of all the surrounding warships to shut down. Even the special radar on the flagship was unable to clearly detect the specific situation at the center of the explosion.
Although the warships he led were of old models, their destructive power was definitely not bad.
The differences between these warships and the new models mainly lie in their reconnaissance range, maneuverability, flexibility and defense. In terms of destructive power, they are definitely not weak after being transformed by the organization.
Theoretically speaking, even if the target was the latest model of mechanically enhanced human in an advanced civilization, he should have been seriously injured on the spot by the sudden attack just now, and it was normal for his life signals to disappear directly.
But the commander always has an inexplicable sense of crisis in his heart, and he believes in this intuition very much, because this is a talent that is almost a superpower that he has obtained through specific genetic modulation.
As the attack continued, the commander felt a growing sense of crisis.
Although he couldn't understand it, he followed his instincts and stopped the attack.
On the other side, as the high-energy radiation in the distance gradually dissipated, the reconnaissance drone that had been down finally returned to normal, and the picture reappeared on the screen.
At this time, the place where Zheng Shu was originally located had turned into a metal mountain range. This was a man-made wonder formed by the collision of massive armor-piercing shells and various missiles.
Theoretically, no humanoid creature should be able to survive in such a situation. If the previous round of attacks had been dispersed more evenly, it could have almost wiped out the civilization on a lower-level planet.
"Is the radar not working yet? What's the situation inside?!" Feeling the sense of crisis as if his scalp was about to explode, the commander looked at his adjutant.
"The radar has been fully restored before. After inspection, there is no high-energy reaction or life reaction in it. The enemy should have been completely eliminated."
Although he didn't understand why his boss looked so angry, the adjutant still checked it again very carefully.
"Damn..."
Feeling the fear coming from his heart, the commander gritted his teeth and said fiercely:
"Let the other warships clean up the battlefield and collect as much debris as possible. We're leaving here now!"
"Now?"
The adjutant was a little stunned when he heard this. Now all the combat space battleships that the entire organization could mobilize were here, and even some civilian battleships were temporarily equipped with energy cannons to make up the number.
With such a large number of people and complex interpersonal relationships, if the commander is not on the scene to command, the chaos that will be caused can be imagined.
This mission could have been considered a great achievement, but if my boss messed it up like this, not to mention the achievement, I would probably get scolded when I return to the base.
The commander has a high position in the organization and will definitely not care about these small problems, but these small people like us are doomed.
"I said, get out of here!"
The commander, whose head was about to explode from the sense of crisis in his mind, had no intention of saying anything more to his subordinate. He pulled out his pistol and pointed it at the other man's forehead.
Feeling the undisguised murderous intent coming from his boss and the finger on the trigger gradually gaining strength, the adjutant broke out in a cold sweat.
"Yes! I understand!"
Seeing the commander's state, the other people in the command room did not dare to say anything and could only follow orders silently, fearing that their boss would turn his anger towards them.
Soon they operated the machine in front of them, preparing to leave here through space jump.
Although there is a large amount of space turbulence around this cosmic cemetery, the organization has discovered this place for so long that it has naturally figured out the laws of the surrounding space turbulence.
With a special formula model, it is much easier to leave by space jumping than for those who come here for the first time.
It should have been like this...
Buzz! ! !
A shrill alarm suddenly sounded, and the command room, which had been relatively calm, became busy and chaotic.
"What's wrong?!"
Listening to the annoying alarm sound in his ears, the commander felt a sudden strong sense of crisis in his heart, and the expression on his face became indescribably ugly.
"Commander! An unknown space blockade has appeared around us, and we are trapped here!"
Upon hearing the news, the commander angrily slammed the table in front of him, but quickly forced himself to calm down.
"Issue an order to have the surrounding warships continue to attack the enemy's location. Don't worry about weapon overload! The power reactor is overloaded. Transfer all the energy of the flagship to the shield system and use all computing power to analyze the space blockade!"
"Yes!"
Upon hearing the order, everyone in the command room quickly took action.
The light on the gun barrels of the surrounding warships, which had originally dimmed, lit up again and continued to bombard the location of the metal mountain range.
The flagship, which was originally hidden behind all the warships, did not participate in the attack, but quietly retreated a distance. The seemingly inconspicuous energy shield became slightly dazzling.
This means that the energy shield has entered an overload state. Although it will cause certain damage to the shield system, it can increase the defense to the strongest level in a short period of time.
At this moment, the metal mountain range composed of artillery shells was melted and blasted apart under the massive energy attack, revealing a black sphere in the center.
"what is that?"
Because the attack order came too suddenly, this round of attack seemed a bit chaotic, but the scattered energy bombardment also prevented the front-line reconnaissance drones from being affected too much.
So everyone on the flagship saw the unusually strange black sphere through the images sent back by the reconnaissance drone.
Whether it was the secondary guns that were powerful enough to easily destroy a street, or the main guns that could destroy a city, bombarding the mirror-smooth sphere was like water washing over pebbles.
Apart from the energy flying everywhere, there was no sign that the bombardment had any effect on the ball.
"Degenerate matter?!!!"
Looking at the unknown results obtained from the feedback of various reconnaissance radar scans, the commander thought of a possibility in his mind, and his voice became a little sharp because of disbelief.
"Quick! Give up the space jump, increase the engine to maximum, and run!"
Realizing what substance the other party might be using, the commander rushed to the main controller while yelling, pushed away the helmsman next to him, and personally controlled the flight of the spacecraft.
However, his speed was still a step too slow, and the black ball that had been under attack suddenly began to move.
Large pieces of black matter were added to the surface of the black sphere, forming complex magic patterns and arrays.
With the infusion of energy, these magic arrays slowly lit up and gradually began to take effect.
Driven by various magic arrays, the originally motionless sphere began to move, and soon its speed exceeded a certain limit and crashed into the surrounding spaceships!
There was no excessive action, it just simply crashed into it, but the effect was terrifyingly strong.
Those old spaceships that have no energy shields installed are as fragile as paper in front of this sphere. The sphere can easily destroy the spaceship by simply hitting its power reactor.
Even a spaceship with an energy shield would be helpless against the attack of this ball. The seemingly solid energy shield could only help the spaceship withstand the attack of the ball for a while, but only for a moment.
The seemingly dense energy structure of the energy shield seems to be powerless in the face of the more dense particle structure of degenerate matter. No matter what level of energy shield it is, it can only withstand the impact of the black sphere for a while. When the bounced black sphere flies back again, there is only one ending for the spacecraft whose shield system has been overloaded.
Faced with this completely unreasonable attack, the fleet wanted to resist at first, but after discovering that their attacks were ineffective, people collapsed.
Large groups of warships began to flee in all directions. Even if the surrounding space was blocked, they could still rely on the warships' own mobility to quickly fly away from the sphere.
This operation just hit Zheng Shu's weakness. Although the ball flew very fast, there was still a big gap compared to the space battleship.
However, Zheng Shu's purpose was not to completely destroy these guys. From the beginning to the end, he just didn't want anyone to interfere with his next actions.
After dispersing the annoying warships around, Zheng Shu controlled the ball and flew towards the flagship, which was a circle larger than the other warships, without hesitation.
Compared with other smaller and more agile warships, the flagship's originally huge size has now become a burden.
Due to its huge size and inertia, Zheng Shu's flagship was not fully started even after he drove away the surrounding warships.
The seemingly indestructible energy barrier could only withstand the black sphere like those small warships. The next moment, the sphere smashed the flagship's hull without hesitation and flew straight towards the command room.
Under the commander's desperate eyes, the ball as big as a person ignored all the blockades along the way and crashed into the command room.
Amid the piercing damage alarm in the command room, the sphere suddenly became somewhat illusory in front of everyone's trembling gazes, and then turned into a black crystal and was collected by a man in full black armor.
Looking at the commander standing there in a daze, Zheng Shu raised his head slightly: "You..."
Bang!
"Don't kill me. I know a lot of information and I'm valuable!"
As soon as Zheng Shu opened his mouth, the commander in front of him knelt down in front of him very quickly and spoke clearly and briefly about his own value at a very fast speed.
"Ah... uh... pretty good."
It was the first time that Zheng Shu met such a sensible guy. Even with his intelligence, he couldn't help but be dazed. The words that were stuck in his mouth were forced back. He hesitated and could only nod vaguely twice.
"Hey! Tell me what you know. You should know what I want to ask."
Zheng Shu came back to his senses and coughed twice. He tied up all the other people in the command room and threw them aside, his eyes fixed on the commander in front of him who had quickly surrendered to the city.
(Damn it, I was suddenly woken up by the leaking roof last night. I was so angry. It was just fixed the day before yesterday, but it leaked again today, just two days later. I have to find someone to fix the roof again, so I can only post a few sloppy updates these days.)
