System voice:
"Weapon charging."
"System charging complete."
"System requesting authorization …"
The blonde woman's lips curled into an arc when she heard the string of notifications. She sneered, "If you can still dodge this time, then I'll really admire you."
After saying that, she first pressed the four firing buttons, then fiercely turned the mechanical joystick.
From the vantage point of the lead ship, the four turrets poured out a large amount of electric-particle laser projectiles with a whoosh. Following the Falcon Spacecraft's high-speed rotation, the electric-particle projectiles were like a large net that enveloped the swordfish. The subsequent laser projectiles twisted and rotated with the spacecraft's rotation, twisting and turning like a spiral toward the swordfish.
Without superb piloting skills and rich shooting experience, it was impossible to fire such a bizarre and spectacular attack.
The officer and adjutant held their breaths at the same time. They couldn't imagine how the swordfish would be able to struggle this time. Under such dense and powerful firepower, any civilian transport ship would be blown to smithereens.
Ding Meng and Vader kept a close eye on the sloppy man. Now, everyone could only pin their last hope on him. Whether or not a miracle could be created depended on how he operated the spacecraft.
The sloppy man's expression finally turned serious. This time, he didn't touch the screen with one hand. Instead, he stretched out both hands at the same time and pressed them on the top and bottom of the screen respectively. Then, he rapidly twisted and shook.
It was a pity that Ding Meng wasn't a piloting expert. If he was, he would have been able to see that the sloppy man's shaking pattern perfectly matched the trajectory of the opponent's laser projectiles. The subtlety and charm of this could only be understood by an expert of the same trade.
The blonde woman quickly understood. When the large net was cast, the swordfish didn't make any large movements to dodge. Instead, it continued to fly diagonally to the right, as if deliberately hanging on to the edge of the large net. The side wing of the spacecraft immediately burst into white flames with a bang.
System voice: "Warning! Warning! Hull damage is 16.33%."
Vader's heart was about to jump out of his chest. On the three-dimensional model, the left side of the hull was gradually turning from pale yellow to fiery red. This degree of damage basically pointed to disaster.
Ding Meng, on the other hand, was very calm. He could tell that the sloppy man had purposely allowed the spaceship to be hit. He believed that the sloppy man had done so for a reason.
Sure enough, the Swordfish spaceship was knocked into a spiral by the violent tremors. Then, it spun at an acute angle of 30 degrees. Because the lasers were too concentrated, it looked like it was going to be grazed or hit. The bow and stern of the spaceship twisted at high speed, but the center of the spaceship was stable and motionless. Like a propeller, it miraculously avoided the rain of lasers. Just like a small fish in the seaweed, no matter how the seaweed twisted and whipped, it just couldn't touch the slippery fish.
The officer's eyes were finally transfixed. To be able to drive an ordinary Swordfish transport ship to such an appalling degree, to be honest, even he couldn't do it.
The adjutant also had a look of disbelief on his face. "This … Is this a manual operation?
Is he still human? "
This was definitely a manual operation because if the spaceship used the automatic dodging program hosted by the system, in order to protect the ship's endurance, it was impossible to perform such inhuman actions.
The blonde woman finally opened her mouth wide. She had no choice but to accept it now. The opponent was a freak among freaks. How the f * ck could he dodge like that?
The turret was about to enter a long recharge mode. She was out of options now, so she couldn't help but turn to look at the officer beside her.
Baines' gaze fell on the three-dimensional map. He had already seen clearly that the Swordfish had changed course again and was flying in the direction of the dynasty's fleet.
He gritted his teeth. "How much longer do they have before they enter the range of the dynasty's fleet?"
The blonde woman instantly understood and quickly pressed on the screen. "They've already been hit. If they don't turn off the ion engine, there's a 30% chance that the spaceship will disintegrate. They can reach the port of the search and rescue ship in 7 minutes and 11 seconds at the earliest."
7 minutes and 11 seconds, this was the last time they had left. Turning back now was definitely not a problem, but if they continued to attack, even if they managed to take down the enemy within 7 minutes, the result would be that they couldn't turn back because they couldn't escape. The dynasty's fleet would definitely take care of them.
"Activate the rapid recharge mode and execute the extreme attack sequence." Baines' expression was firm, and a trace of determination appeared in his eyes.
The blonde woman's expression darkened. She knew that her officer was determined to perish together with the enemy. They definitely couldn't let the memory chip fall into the hands of others.
To put it bluntly, the extreme attack sequence meant that they had to take down the Swordfish even if they had to exhaust all of the ship's energy. They didn't give the enemy a way out, nor did they give themselves a way out. When the time came, the dynasty's fleet would turn around and attack them. Everyone was likely to be buried in this vast universe.
At this moment, the situation on Ding Meng's side wasn't looking too good. The left side of the hull was completely destroyed, and the speed of the ship immediately slowed down. Furthermore, the ion drive hadn't been turned off. The entire ship could no longer withstand the pressure brought about by high-speed flight. The system was constantly alarms, and the damage to the hull continued to rise. "16.33%, 17.29%, 18.11%, 19.56% …"
Vader's teeth seemed to be bleeding from clenching them. "We should be able to be rescued before they finish recharging, right?"
The sloppy man regained his relaxed demeanor. "Wrong!"
Right now, Vader was most afraid of hearing him say those two words. "Wrong again?"
The sloppy man smiled as he glanced at Ding Meng. "I'm very curious. What exactly did you steal from them that they have to be so persistent?"
Ding Meng couldn't help but be infected by this fellow's bearing. He returned the smile. "I stole something that I can't return to them."
The sloppy man could only spread his hands at Vader. "Then there's no other way. It seems that they won't retreat until they've completely destroyed us."
Vader was still unconvinced. "So what?
Brother, your flying skills are so high. They … won't be able to hit us. "
The sloppy man sighed. "If they're determined to kill us, I'm afraid that they're rapidly recharging right now. Next, they'll use the Falcon attack ship's extreme attack mode to deal with us."
At the end of the day, Vader was still hoping for a fluke. "What if they don't use the extreme attack mode?"
The sloppy man smiled again. "Using your logic to explain it, then there's a 99.99% chance that they'll use it."
Vader couldn't help but roar loudly, "Is there really no other way?"
The sloppy man looked at him with interest. "Yes. This time, we're really done for. I won't speak carelessly."
The alarm suddenly sounded again. The system's voice was cold and merciless. "Warning! Warning! A large amount of high-risk energy scan has been detected and has locked onto the ship. All personnel are to prepare for impact …"
Vader's pupils immediately contracted. The sloppy man really wasn't spouting nonsense. The people of Black Gold Base would rather die than let them go.
Ding Meng, who had been very calm all this time, suddenly opened his mouth. "I have an idea."
Vader was like a drowning man who had grasped at a life-saving straw. "What idea?
Brother, hurry up and tell me. As long as we can get out of here alive, I guarantee you an unimaginable reward. "
Ding Meng's expression looked even calmer than the sloppy man's. "Use the escape pod. There might still be a glimmer of hope."
Vader didn't ask any more questions. Like a frightened deer, he flew out of the cockpit.
At this moment, the sloppy man and Ding Meng actually stood still in the same spot. It wasn't until the cockpit door closed that the sloppy man looked at Ding Meng with a strange expression. He slowly opened his mouth and said, "I just realized that you're definitely not a good person."
"I'm not a good person to begin with!" Ding Meng replied indifferently.
