Trembling. Other than trembling, there was only trembling.
This kind of earth-shattering tremor could even cause one's soul to tremble.
The corpse in the darkness was also trembling. Suddenly, the corpse's fingers trembled slightly. As the tremors in the main mine grew stronger, the corpse's left hand finally moved.
Julie let out a soft groan. She had finally woken up.
Resurrecting an Origin Ability user wasn't difficult. Under normal circumstances, as long as the heart and brain weren't completely dead, the advanced medical cabin could generally save them.
Julie obviously wasn't saved by the medical cabin. Her fatal wounds were in her neck and heart, but in reality, these two places weren't really fatal to her.
After her throat was cut open, although a large amount of blood had spurted out, the Dark Abyss Ice Dust Art had been activated in time to stabilize the circulation of energy and blood in her body, ensuring that the remaining life force wouldn't leak out. As for the heart, it was a fluke. If Julie had been in Marshal's place, Ding Meng's stab would have definitely taken her life.
Because she was a woman who had maintained her figure quite well, her towering chest acted as a cushion and greatly weakened the strength of the stab, so it didn't completely damage her heart.
This wasn't Ding Meng showing mercy or underestimating his opponent. If there was anything to blame, it was Ding Meng's fault for not seeing many women. In fact, Julie was the first woman he had ever wanted to kill. After all, certain parts of a woman's body were different from those of a man's.
Ding Meng didn't know much about the structure of a woman's body. In fact, he didn't know much about women at all. Besides, Julie's Dark Abyss Ice Dust Art didn't start from the heart. Otherwise, if the origin was destroyed, even the gods wouldn't be able to save her.
At this moment, the experiment hall was shaking. Julie also felt that something was wrong. Such a large tremor definitely wasn't caused by an explosion. Based on her past experience, something must have happened on the ground.
Thinking of this, she forced herself to turn on the wristwatch with her weak body and crippled right wrist. Her left hand trembled as she pressed on the screen. Ding Meng's file was quickly pulled up.
She did not know where Ding Meng had run to, but there was one thing she was certain of. With Ding Meng's current strength, it was impossible for the general's men to stop him. As long as Ding Meng used some devious ideas, it would not be a problem for him to escape from Black Gold Base. Since he wanted to escape, the interstellar transport ship "Black Gold No.3" hovering in the sky was a checkpoint that Ding Meng would not be able to bypass no matter what.
Julie reluctantly pressed "Command Center No. 3" on the transmission bar of the hologram and decisively sent Ding Meng's message over. There was only one word in the message: "Memory."
That was all she could do in her current condition. This was the limit of her ability.
As for whether or not she could complete the mission, it was all up to fate.
Black Gold No.3 interstellar transport ship. The central command hall was brightly lit. Hundreds of virtual screens were all lit up. On them were specific images of various parts of the starship. Dozens of holographic projectors were constantly generating all kinds of simulated objects and virtual maps. This was the detection system using multiple functions to automatically detect the situation inside and outside the starship to prevent any unexpected factors from occurring.
At this moment, the solar eclipse had completely arrived. The planet below had completely sunk into darkness. Baines stared at the central screen and observed carefully. He could ignore the general and the others in the base, but Julie had not sent back any news.
"Officer Baines, Miss Julie has sent an urgent message," a blonde woman beside him turned around and said. She was his right-hand woman.
Baines waved his hand and said, "Connect it."
A virtual image was quickly created on the workbench. Ding Meng's virtual image and data were all displayed. When he saw the word "memory", Baines' expression changed.
The blonde woman was already explaining, "According to the information sent back by Miss Julie, this Ding Meng should have left the base on the ground."
Baines pondered and said, "The base on the ground is not allowed to have Ion Flyers. If this Ding Meng wants to escape, he won't be able to go around our No.3 transport ship."
The blonde woman immediately operated on the screen. "According to the characteristics of the body scan, there isn't a single person on the ship that is similar to him."
Baines frowned. "He's not on the ship?"
The blonde woman said, "Theoretically, yes."
Baines' gaze swept across the virtual screens and finally stopped at the connecting cabin outside the starship. "It's not that he's not on the ship, it's that he didn't even get on the ship."
The blonde woman was obviously very smart. She immediately understood what he meant. She continued operating on the screen and pulled up the database. "In the one hour's time of departure, there are only three large ships that have left the port. They all belong to Xinda Aerospace's No.101 fleet. They're Type VI 'Swordfish' transport ships. Their serial numbers are 703A, 703B, and 703C."
"Contact the captains of the three ships. I want them to appear in front of me immediately," Baines ordered.
The order was quickly issued. In just 10 seconds, 3 remote holographic images appeared on the workbench. The first and second holographic images were of an old man with a wrinkled face and a handsome young man. The two of them asked almost in unison, "What's the matter?"
"Captain Baines, why are you in such a hurry? What's the matter?"
Baines' expression had already darkened. "Nothing. I just want to see if you're there."
The two captains of Ship A and Ship B were indeed there. The problem was that the third holographic image did not produce a mirror image at all. It was full of static signal interference. It was obvious that Ship C's ion communication system had most likely been cut off.
"Where's Captain Lijie of Ship C?" Baines asked with a sullen expression.
The two captains were stunned for a moment before they lowered their heads to ask. After about a minute, the young captain of Ship B raised his head with a serious expression. "Captain Baines, Ship 703C suddenly lost contact with us 20 minutes ago. According to our observations, Ship C changed its course without permission. It's currently heading in the direction of Nebula TCP121 at a speed of 63,000 miles per hour. Its course is Line 112A2CD."
As soon as he finished speaking, a huge three-dimensional map of the galaxy quickly appeared on the central application. The countless lines, bright spots, and markings were very clear. The blonde woman pointed at Nebula TCP121 marked on the map.
"Captain Baines, that's the direction of the Norse Empire. If Ding Meng is on Ship 703C, then his current speed has already exceeded the third cosmic speed. With the various configurations of the Type VI Swordfish transport ship, he can enter the observation range of the Norse Empire within a week. It'll be very difficult for Black Gold III to accurately locate and catch up to him …"
Baines was silent. Clearly, he was thinking of a solution. The memory chip was very important. The higher-ups were determined to get it and would not allow all their previous efforts to go to waste.
"If we can catch up to him as fast as we can, how long will it take?" Baines asked.
The blonde woman said, "Only Black Hawk 5A can catch up to him in 3 hours and 21 minutes if we act immediately."
Baines fell silent again. The Blackhawk 5A was a Falcon Attack Spacecraft equipped with a weapon system. It could easily blast a civilian transport ship into pieces. If the memory chip were to be shattered as well, then everyone would be in deep trouble.
"Captain, time is of the essence. Please give the order quickly." The blonde woman reminded him.
Ten seconds later, Baines finally said coldly, "Move out!"
