Chapter 576: Stealth and Unexpected Attack
Lin Yu piloted the stealth warship like a silent ghost, traversing the star sector dominated by dark forces. Outside the warship, the cold, deep, and silent universe was breathtakingly tense. Ellie stared intently at the reconnaissance equipment screen, her eyes unblinking, trying to catch any unusual signals; Xiao Wang, meanwhile, repeatedly checked the weapon systems to ensure they were ready for combat at any moment.
"Entering the area heavily monitored by the dark forces, everyone remain highly vigilant." Lin Yu lowered his voice, his gaze shifting back and forth between the instrument panel and the star map. The warship cautiously circled around planets covered in defensive structures; the flashing energy lights on those planets resembled the eyes of a colossal beast lurking in the darkness, sending chills down one's spine.
Just as they were venturing deeper into this dangerous area, Ellie suddenly exclaimed, "Wait! I detected a strange energy fluctuation, like some kind of new communication signal. The frequency is completely different from what we've encountered before." Lin Yu immediately slowed the warship's speed, his brow furrowed. "Can you pinpoint the location of the signal source?"
Ellie's fingers flew across the keyboard, beads of sweat forming on her forehead: "This is a bit difficult. The signal source seems to be constantly moving, and there are jamming devices blocking our detection... Wait, we found it! The signal source is near the satellite belt of that gas giant ahead."
Lin Yu looked at the flashing red dot on the screen, took a deep breath, and said, "Get closer and take a look, but be extremely careful not to reveal our location." The warship slowly approached the satellite belt, where countless satellites, like a group of silent guardians, orbited the gas giant. Lin Yu skillfully used the satellites as cover, cautiously making his way forward.
Just as they were getting closer to the signal source, the warship suddenly began to shake violently. "What's going on?" Lin Yu quickly checked the instrument panel, his expression changing drastically. "Damn it, we've triggered some kind of cloaking trap! The warship's cloaking device has been jammed!"
As soon as he finished speaking, several beams of energy shot out from the satellite array, accurately striking the warship's shields. "Under attack! The enemy was lying in ambush!" Xiao Wang shouted, immediately activating the weapon system to retaliate. Lin Yu, while desperately maneuvering the warship to evade the attack, attempted to restart the stealth device, but the interference was too strong, and all attempts ended in failure.
"Their firepower is too intense, we can't fight them head-on!" Ellie shouted anxiously. Lin Yu gritted his teeth: "Retreat first, find a chance to shake them off!" The warship charged left and right through the hail of bullets, but the pursuers behind them were relentless. The warships of the dark forces were like black ghosts, clinging to them tightly.
During the fierce chase, Lin Yu noticed a slight opening in the pursuers' formation. A thought struck him, and he quickly adjusted the warship's direction, charging towards the breach. "Hold on tight, everyone! We need to break through!" The warship moved like lightning, weaving through the gaps in the dark forces' fleet, successfully shaking off some of the pursuers.
However, several warships persisted in their pursuit. Looking at the relentless enemy behind him, Lin Yu suddenly had a brilliant idea: "I've got it! Ellie, calculate the gravitational data of the asteroid belt ahead. We'll use the gravitational slingshot effect of the asteroid belt to shake them off."
Ellie quickly operated the equipment and reported a set of data. Lin Yu took a deep breath and steered the warship toward the asteroid belt. After entering the asteroid belt, the warship moved nimbly among the giant asteroids, while the dark forces' warships behind it, due to their larger size, gradually fell behind in the complex environment.
Just as Lin Yu and his team thought they had successfully shaken off their pursuers, a massive asteroid suddenly exploded, the powerful shockwave deflecting the warship off course. "What's going on?" Lin Yu stared at the screen in shock. Hidden within the asteroid wreckage was an even larger warship belonging to the dark forces, slowly emerging. The warship emitted an eerie glow, clearly a trap specifically set to intercept them. Could Lin Yu and his team escape this powerful attack once again and complete their reconnaissance mission?
