Chapter 454 "Infectious Diseases" (25)

A few minutes later.

Xin and Han Zu arrived at the location of the medical laboratory where Baduo had stayed before his death. Xin was observing a moment of silence in front of Baduo's former armor and weapons, while Han Zu carried back the bodies of the remaining members of the "Harvester" team who had been killed by him.

"The armor of these two vanguards is still wearable and basically intact, but as for the helmets, I guess you'll have to use the ones left by Baduo."

Although Han Zu did not show any emotional fluctuations, Xin also understood that at this time, grief was indeed a useless luxury. However, there were only three members of her team left besides herself. Although Xin did not express it and silently equipped herself with Baduo's helmet and the armor stripped from the vanguard's corpse, she was still in a bad mood.

"Error, unrecognizable life signal."

The power sword left by Baduo and the plasma pistol left by the vanguard are not restricted by the permission lock and can be used normally, but those weapons that were not destroyed by Han Zu and the mixed armor he is wearing now cannot be used normally.

"Do me a favor, I need permission to use these armors and the disintegrating beam rifle."

"Row."

However, for Han Zu's contractor equipment that had upgraded the cracking module, this level of permission lock was completely child's play. It didn't take much effort for the contractor's equipment to crack the armor's permissions.

Although Xin's armor can now be used normally, her own life signal cannot be identified in the control network. With the help of Han Zu, she is now pretending to be a dead pioneer. This way, the news that she is still alive will not be exposed, and it will become much easier for her to move around in the space station.

"What do we do now?"

"Go to the location of your mission and find the storage device. Once we have it, we can leave."

"Encrypted communications intercepted."

After re-equipping and using other damaged armor energy cores to refill his own armor energy, Xin adjusted his mood and began to ask Han Zu about the next mission. However, while the two were communicating, Han Zu's contractor equipment intercepted an encrypted message that was supposed to be sent to the members of the "Reaper" team.

"The cargo has been recovered. The final evacuation will end in 43 minutes. All annihilation teams will interrupt their current annihilation missions and head to the nearest evacuation point. The evacuation point coordinates have been opened."

"We have to change our goals."

"What did you find?"

"It seems that the third-party forces in the space station not only sent out these annihilation teams, but also dispatched a recovery team to retrieve the storage device. Their recovery mission has been completed, and they sent a mission interruption order to the other annihilation teams, requiring them to evacuate from the nearest evacuation point."

"You want to sneak into their evacuation point? That's not feasible, is it? After all, as long as they are not stupid, they can see at a glance that there is something wrong with my armor, not to mention your weird traitor costume."

"Of course I know this. I didn't plan to sneak into the evacuation point. After your spaceship exploded, I saw the thing that attacked your spaceship. It was a ship disguised by a cloaking force field, parked under the space station... I guess it's about the same height as where we are now, of course, assuming it hasn't moved."

"Don't tell me you want to get on that invisible battleship..."

"Correct."

Before Xin could continue the conversation, Han Zu turned and walked out of the medical laboratory. With no other options, Xin could only follow him for the time being.

"43 minutes... the time is a bit tight, let's run, we have to hurry up."

"Where are you going? Looking for a spaceship? Let's not talk about whether these civilian spaceships on the space station can get close to the invisible warship. The port area must be full of annihilation teams preparing to evacuate. Even if we can destroy them, it will waste a lot of our time, and they will also send to the warship... Hey! Wait!!"

However, Han Zu obviously did not intend to continue the conversation. The corridors around him were filled with mutants, and the space was too small to fly, so he threw his arms and rushed forward. Fortunately, Xin had fully charged the armor's energy and was able to keep up with him. Although the full-speed charge increased the armor's energy consumption, Han Zu, who was like a shield machine, smashed all the mutants in front of him, so he didn't need her to help attack them.

20 minutes later, at the edge of this layer, at the edge of the space station.

There is a large port here for other spaceships to dock, which is filled with a large number of civilian spaceships. The structures of these spaceships have suffered a certain degree of damage, and there are also a lot of parasites, which have turned these immobile and idle spaceships into mutated creatures like hell tentacles with the shape of plant vines.

"45% propulsion energy remaining."

Although the obstruction of buildings and mutants slowed down Han Zu's rampage to a certain extent, this guy felt that his speed was slow, but it also reached the subsonic level. If Xin had not been equipped with the faster Vanguard armor, she might not be able to keep up with him.

However, although they were moving very fast, if their original position was not close to the edge of the space station, it would be a pipe dream to reach the edge of this giant space station within 20 minutes.

Xin had experience with short-term super-speed propulsion, but 20 minutes of subsonic travel was a new experience. However, it was a little strange. Normally, Xin should have felt uncomfortable because of the high speed. After all, she was not wearing her own armor, but was stripped from a corpse. But now, apart from being a little excited, she did not feel any discomfort. She thought it was related to Han Zu's evolution.

However, the current situation is not a good time to chat. Below, at the port where there are also a large number of mutants, there are bursts of fighting sounds. Using the locking sequence inside the helmet mask, Xin observed that there are several annihilation teams that have joined together, clearing the hangar near their location from the north to the west. Although it is impossible to see the situation further, according to the outline of the energy light wall, it can be seen that there are several landing ships parked outside the space station. They should be waiting for the annihilation team inside to clear the landing position and then pick up the evacuation ship that will leave here.

"Although these landing ships have average endurance, they have strong firepower, and there are more than one of them. It is probably not feasible to sneak up on them. If you really plan to get on the invisible warship parked near the space station, you have to think of other ways."

Han Zu did not reply for the time being. Xin estimated that he was thinking about countermeasures, so she could only wait for his reply. Taking advantage of this time, she observed the battle situation below. Those annihilation teams were of high quality. Facing a large number of mutants, they did not panic at all and methodically cleared out mutants that were several times their number. Soon, the number of mutants was greatly reduced. As other annihilation teams arrived here and joined the battle, the increase in manpower allowed their firepower network to reach a considerable level, and immediately reduced the number of nearby mutants to double digits. This number has far exceeded the safety index. It can be seen that landing ships have entered the space station and docked in the hangar at the dock.

"They have already started to evacuate. Aren't we going to leave yet?"

"I haven't found it yet, wait a little longer."

"Didn't find it? Aren't you trying to get on the landing ship?"

"Chance? What chance? I have no intention of getting on the landing ship."

"Ah? Then you said you were going to go to that invisible battleship? How are you going to get on it without a landing ship? Fly up...ah, you really can fly. Wait! Are you planning to???"

"Ah, I found it. I remembered the wrong location. Well, stay quiet and don't move."

"What do you mean, what are you looking for...!!!"

While the nearby annihilation teams were counting the number of people and preparing to evacuate, Han Zu took advantage of the noise of their communication to grab Xin's armor, and then threw Xin out towards the force field light wall in the distance where there were no landing ships docked in the port area. After the evolution, Han Zu's strength increased a lot compared to before. He had not used his strength to fight during this period, so he was not sure how much it had increased. However, when he saw Xin, who was almost blurred, flying out of the force field light wall and into space, Han Zu had an accurate understanding.

"boom!"

Bending down and gathering strength, Han Zu also chased towards the location where Xin flew out of the space station. The shattered ground briefly added some extra speed to Han Zu's flight, allowing him to fly out of the space station and into space before the sound of the ground shattering was noticed by the annihilation team.

Entering the dark space, Han Zu's traces were not so easy to be discovered. Using his energy perception, Han Zu quickly located Xin who was trying to use the propulsion device to stop her rotation in space. After flying to her side, he grabbed her shoulder armor, stopped her rotation, and immediately took her to the location of the invisible battleship.

"Estimated time of arrival: 7 minutes."

Unlike Han Zu who was still somewhat excited, Xin was quite frightened. Any civilization that has the ability to navigate in the universe will have a fear of getting lost in space, and the Tigs are no exception. Especially Xin, after all, she had bad experiences with it. She had witnessed many comrades and compatriots who accidentally fell into space and did not survive. In past missions, she herself almost became a space junk that could only stay in the void forever.

"I thought you'd be shocked, but you're actually quite calm. You're quite something."

"Huh? Oh..."

However, due to the angle, Han Zu couldn't see Xin's expressionless face and wide eyes under the mask, so he thought Xin didn't panic. When the communication transmitted through the contractor's equipment sounded in Xin's helmet, she just heard someone talking, so she responded instinctively. In fact, she was recovering from her fear and had no idea what Han Zu said.

"Warning, a charging energy artillery array has been detected. It is recommended that the advance angle be changed immediately. The three-dimensional map is being corrected."

Just as Han Zu was flying at full speed straight towards the location of the invisible warship, the contractor's equipment suddenly detected an energy cannon that was being charged and rotating towards their location. It came from the invisible warship in front.

"You found me? That's impossible. Are the fire control equipment of the Tigs so advanced?"

Han Zu, who was somewhat confused, immediately changed his position. Just as he continued to move forward from other angles, he saw a dazzling light suddenly appearing at a certain position on the invisible battleship, followed by an energy beam that was almost as wide as the civilian residential area in his cognition, shot straight out from above his head. Han Zu turned his head to check, and saw that the beam directly hit a part of the space station. Although it failed to directly destroy the space station, a huge through-hole was directly created in the space station without the protection of the energy shield.

"Warning, charging energy artillery sequence detected."

Then, the second attack was fired at the space station again. This time, Han Zu saw the direction of the attack clearly. It was a bit strange that the attack hit the location where the landing ships needed by the annihilation teams to evacuate entered the space station. Han Zu did not see any landing ships leaving the space station, which means that this bombardment should have directly destroyed all the landing ships parked there, including those annihilation teams.

"What's going on? The invisible warships and those landing ships are not in the same group?"

The bombardment of the invisible warships made Xin regain her attention. Although she could not directly see the landing ships being particleized by the energy bombardment like Han Zu, she remembered what was in that direction, so when she saw the scene in front of her, she couldn't help but exclaim. The intermittent signal interference in the fourth star area made Xin's exclamation a little harsh in the communication channel between the two.

"No, it's a waste of time. Beta quadrant 22 degrees."

While continuing to move towards the invisible warship, Han Zu reported the direction of a three-dimensional map. Looking in that direction, Xin saw the outline of something and accelerated to the position of the invisible warship. He estimated that it was a shuttle ship, that is, a rapid response ship.

"Is it the team responsible for recovering the storage device?"

"I guess so. It seems that the relevant responsible persons really don't want to leak the information here. Unless the recycling team is the confidant of the relevant responsible person, or even the person himself, their fate after delivering the "goods" is estimated to be not much different."

Soon, the shuttle returned to the stealth warship, and Han Zu's contractor equipment also sensed a huge energy fluctuation, which should be the stealth warship preparing to start its engine.

Fortunately, not long after the shuttle returned to the invisible battleship, Han Zu also arrived at the location of the invisible battleship. He directly entered the invisible battleship from an open position. Time was tight, and he didn't care where this open position led to. In short, it was not a propulsion system, and that was enough.

A few minutes later. Inside the invisible warship, the location is unconfirmed.

"Are we coming in?"

"Yes, you said..."

"Slip drive imminent activation detected."

"We'll talk about it later, hold on tight for now."

The huge invisible battleship's invisible force field experienced a momentary unstable fluctuation. Then, as those fluctuations disappeared, the invisible battleship also disappeared from the spot, and no one knew where it went.

Just after the invisible warship left, the giant space station nearby suddenly exploded violently. The power of the explosion was so terrifying that it instantly turned the entire space station into a huge ball of light and a large amount of space debris. As time went by, the light gradually disappeared, and the place returned to darkness. Except for some surviving space debris, there was nothing to prove that a huge space station had once existed in this place.
