Many screens appeared on the main control panel. On the interstellar map, the Blazing Shark spaceship was already very far away from the ring, but many red dots could be seen flying out from the ring, following the green dots that represented their side. It was obvious that the Celestial Wolf Army's spaceships were chasing after them.
However, in the Star Field behind the Star Ring, a dense swarm of red dots appeared. There were at least a hundred spaceships chasing after the Blazing Shark.
"The Yan Vanguard Army is finally here." Nightmare was very calm. "Where are your men?
Have they arrived yet? "
The General tapped on the screen with one hand, and the ion comms was quickly connected. A new screen appeared, and a remote real-time projection was transmitted. A young man appeared, wearing a black mercenary uniform and a large pair of goggles. On his chest was a badge in the shape of a sailboat. This was the insignia of the Assault Mercenary Group.
Upon seeing the General, the mercenary immediately raised his hand and saluted. "Sir!"
The General was burning with anxiety. "Where are your men?
Where are they? "
The mercenary said, "We're on our way. We're very close to the coordinates you've given us. We'll arrive in about five minutes."
Nightmare stared at the map and said, "I see it. It looks like a transport ship."
The Grand Marshal turned his head and looked. The map showed the Blazing Shark Spaceship's route, and not far away, a huge red dot was slowly approaching it. The image of the reconnaissance radar was enlarged, and the red dot's real body became clearer.
It was indeed a transport ship. Its main body seemed to be made up of three batteries, but the middle and rear of the ship were stabilizers. The stabilizers looked like Meteor City, and two rings, one large and one small, were attached to the ship. These were high-power ion engines. Once the starship's firepower was fully activated, the stabilizers would push the starship into a state of extreme speed. This was something that the Celestial Wolf Army's spaceships of all sizes could not catch up to.
The transport ship also had a laser energy gathering system and an energy shield booster. Under normal circumstances, it was not afraid of space combat, but when faced with the pursuit of hundreds of spaceships, it was better to run. Everyone knew that many ants could bite an elephant to death.
The General could not help but ask, "How long will it take for us to reach the coordinates?"
Nightmare's expression was grim. "We won't make it in time. At this rate, Yan Feng's Wasp Stinger Destroyer will catch up to us in three hours. Inform your men to enter the Zoysia branch to pick us up. That's the safest way."
The marshal immediately turned to the mercenary and said, "Hua, give up on the designated coordinates. Turn and accelerate into the Zhifan System. Head toward my route and open up the search and rescue port. I'll fly straight in."
Ah Hua immediately saluted, "Understood, sir …"
…
The two of them were nervously communicating with the carrier ship. On the other side of the main control panel, Dai Yi could not hear them at all. Her mind was completely focused on the connecting cabin.
At this moment, Ding Meng and Cheng Rifeng were locked in a fierce battle. From the surveillance screen, two fiery red laser knives were spinning around a dark golden longsword. Not long after, they turned into two red whirlpools of light and a dark golden venomous snake that intertwined with each other. One could only see bursts of bright light, and it was impossible to see who was fighting.
Seeing Dai Yi's unblinking expression, Nightmare said in a low voice, "Miss Dai, there's no need to worry. I naturally have my reasons for closing the cabin door."
Dai Yi did not understand this reasoning, but Ding Meng quickly understood because Xiao Ai finally spoke up. "ACT 5570, I've detected a large amount of harmful substances in this passage."
Ding Meng did not have the time to answer, so he could only let Little Rascal ask, "Harmful substances again?"
Xiao Ai said, "This chemical substance is the same poison that Nightmare used in the villa. The composition is exactly the same, but the concentration, density, and quantity are at least 300% higher."
Little Rascal immediately understood. Nightmare must have closed the cabin door. His target was not Ding Meng, because he knew that Ding Meng was immune to the Source-Devouring Agent. However, Cheng Rifeng might not be able to resist it.
However, Cheng Rifeng was so strong that even a little bit of the Source-Devouring Agent might not have any effect. Therefore, increasing the level and dosage might have a miraculous effect.
Little Rascal was overjoyed. "This Nightmare is really good at scheming. I like it!"
Cheng Rifeng quickly realized that for some reason, his movements were slowly becoming less nimble. His limbs were aching, and his Origin Energy circulation was becoming somewhat sluggish.
He knew very well that he had most likely fallen into Nightmare's trap. Logically speaking, the armor's internal air circulation system should have been able to provide him with sufficient oxygen for a long time. However, when he had forced his way in, his left arm and shoulder had been crushed by the steel plate at the entrance, so the poisonous gas had slowly seeped into the gap.
With a click, the cabin door opened again, and Nightmare's voice rang out in the passage. "Mr. Ting, retreat quickly."
Ding Meng naturally would not miss this opportunity. The armor was half-squatting on the ground, seemingly exhausted.
"Retreat my ass!"
Cheng Rifeng clenched his teeth in anger. He clearly could have dealt with Ding Meng, but in the end, he had been tricked instead. This feeling was the most infuriating.
The moment the cabin door opened, the armor's arms and shoulders switched to cannons and firing ports at the same time. A large number of particle lasers and a Stinger missile swarmed toward him.
"Careful!" Little Rascal and Xiao Ai cried out in alarm at the same time.
Ding Meng couldn't care less. He instantly activated his Origin Energy and activated his Diamond Mirror Image Shield.
"Ding ding ding ding ding!"
When the particles hit, the surface of the mirror image immediately cracked slightly, and its color rapidly faded. This was because Ding Meng had used too much energy. The energy in his body could no longer support the perfect release of the Diamond Star Art.
Therefore, when the Stinger missile whistled through the air, the mirror image shattered with a bang, and Ding Meng slid back five or six meters.
The shockwave from the explosion instantly sent the general flying, and he slammed into the wall of the command center. Nightmare, on the other hand, didn't care about the effects of the explosion at all. He forced himself to step forward and operate the screen, instantly closing the cabin door and locking Cheng Rifeng inside.
Dai Yi also rushed into the fire to support Ding Meng. "Are you okay?"
Ding Meng sighed softly. "Thank goodness, I'm fine."
The King of Nightmares pressed a series of buttons on the screen, and a series of rumbling sounds could be heard from the connecting cabin channel.
"What's going on?" Little Rascal asked.
Fortunately, Nightmare took the initiative to explain. "I've disconnected the cabin, and there's enough air inside for Cheng Rifeng to use. He's drifting in space, and it'll take a while for the ships following behind to search for him. This way, we can still buy some time."
Ding Meng also walked to the main control panel. The map showed that the transport ship of the raiding party was rapidly flying in his direction. The estimated time for the two ships to cross over was 28 minutes. Now that the connecting cabin had been tossed out, the speed of the red dots behind him had slowed down significantly. It seemed that escaping into the transport ship shouldn't be a problem.
However, at this moment, Ding Meng frowned. Nightmare was puzzled. "What's wrong?
Mr. Ting? "
Ding Meng turned to look at the other passage that led to the warehouse and said in a deep voice, "Come out."
Nightmare was shocked. 'There are other people on this ship?
Why didn't I notice? '
Sure enough, two figures sneaked out from behind the door of the warehouse passage. Mao Zi's face was bitter. He thought that he could hide, but he did not expect to be discovered by Ding Meng at a glance.
At this moment, the four-eyed man found a piece of dry animal skin and wrapped his body up. He looked like a primitive savage.
"Ding Meng … Oh, no, it's Ding … Brother Ding …" Mao Zi's teeth were chattering.
The four-eyed man was no longer cold, but it would be a lie to say that he was not afraid, so he coughed dryly. "This … That … We …"
Ding Meng coldly interrupted him. "Come here!"
Mao Zi immediately pushed the four-eyed man. "Brother, you go first."
The four-eyed man shot up like an arrow and then desperately shrank back. "F * ck your sister, are you trying to kill me?
Why don't you go first? "
As he shrank back, he tried to drag Mao Zi. Obviously, he wanted to pull Mao Zi up.
Mao Zi was furious and desperately pushed him. "F * ck you, I said that I'll enjoy life, but you're going to die. Why didn't you keep your promise?"
The four-eyed man kicked Mao Zi's butt. "F * ck your sister, I'm younger than you, and I haven't even been in a relationship. I can't die like this. Mao Zi, you bastard, you were cheated on by your ex. I haven't even gotten the qualification to be cheated on. I can't go first."
Mao Zi immediately took out a pack of cigarettes. "Come, take it. I'll give you this pack of old red plums. You have to go first."
"F * ck you."
The four-eyed man slapped the cigarette pack away. "You smoked until there are only two cigarettes left in the pack. One of them is still a cigarette butt, and you said that you're giving it to me. Are you trying to dismiss a beggar?
Give me a whole pack and I'll go first … "
The two of them were still pushing each other when Ding Meng suddenly appeared in front of them.
The four-eyed man immediately put his hands together and knelt down with a plop. "Big Brother, Big Brother Ding, it's none of my business. I don't want to be a mercenary anymore. Can you give me a way out?
Brother Ding, Master Ding … "
Ding Meng ignored him and said to Mao Zi, "Give me the wristband."
Mao Zi did not dare to resist. He had seen the heaven-defying scene of Ding Meng fighting Cheng Rifeng in the open space. He did not even have the thought of running away, let alone resisting. Playing tricks in front of such a fierce person was courting death, so Mao Zi could only obediently take off his wristband and hand it to Ding Meng.
The four-eyed man's wristband had always been on Ding Meng. Now that Mao Zi's wristband was turned on, their information quickly appeared on the screen.
Name: Mao Zhi;
Gender: Male;
Age: 33 years old;
Identity: Sirius Mercenary Group, number 74088;
Military merit: -12 points;
…
Name: Shi Yan;
Gender: Male;
Age: 30 years old;
Identity: Sirius Mercenary Group, number 54088;
Military merit: -22 points;
…
Seeing these information, even Dai Yi could not help but want to laugh. Their names were so strange, but why were their military merits in the negative?
It was no wonder that these two guys did not want to work anymore and just wanted to run away.
Ding Meng felt that although these two people were junior warriors, they did not have any dangerous aura. Moreover, he had never liked to attack people who did not want to resist. Besides, he needed to rest now, so it was not wise to attack them. So he turned back and nodded slightly at King of Nightmares. "Forget it."
Since he said forget it, King of Nightmares had no choice but to let it go.
