Chapter 1572: Chapter 1572: Obstacles
Ji You found it not difficult for them to intercept, but the hard part was to take their place.
Because the location where the space rift opens must be heavily guarded, how did the other party bypass the monitoring points and enter the space rift?
After Ji You finished saying this, she felt a bit hesitant: "Senior, is their purpose really to kill us and then take our place?"
He Bi had been controlling the spaceship’s navigation direction, suddenly accelerating after bypassing a floating celestial fragment.
Upon hearing Ji You’s words, he said, "I guess they want both. The best plan is to kill us and then disguise as us to enter the space rift."
Ji You’s eyebrows twitched upon hearing this.
He Bi continued, "At the very least, they want to intercept us so we can’t get there in time."
Ji You asked, "If we can’t get there, how can they enter?"
He Bi said with a sober expression, "I don’t know either, but I think this group must have a way."
Ji You felt a bit of a headache, "So, we won’t have a smooth journey, will we?"
"Not necessarily." He Bi’s tone carried a hint of confidence, "The key is on this spaceship. They definitely couldn’t imagine that we have the capability to borrow the X-N3848! As long as we slightly avoid a few critical places, in the vast Star Sea, how can they find us?"
Ji You’s eyes lit up and said, "Let me check the navigation map. Find a few places where the enemies are most likely to ambush us and avoid them."
After saying that, she buried herself in study.
He Bi didn’t stop her, this is what he wanted.
Ji You excluded a large number of locations, pointing at three locales, saying, "Here is a chaotic planetary belt, approximately 3 light-years away from the 71st Jump Point. After ambushing us here, they can quickly enter the Jump Point and escape. Even if the interstellar police rush over quickly, they can still escape swiftly, so this is a suspicious spot."
He Bi asked, "By bypassing this, how much does it deviate from our original route?"
"1 light-year." Ji You reported a figure, adding, "By bypassing, it would delay us by about 25 minutes."
He Bi was silent for a moment and said, "The second location."
Ji You pointed at the navigation map and said, "The second location is here, there are 2 abandoned planets, completely scrapped. But they’re not far, with a Jump Point. If we really detour from the first location, we have to switch routes from this Jump Point. So, I suspect there might be a small group ambushed here too."
He Bi raised an eyebrow, "You mean the enemy might guess we’re taking the detour?"
"I don’t know. But if I were the enemy, I would surely make more preparations to ensure the plan is foolproof." Ji You finished speaking, paused for a moment, and continued, "The third point is if we don’t detour and continue along the most efficient route, we would definitely reach here!"
Ji You pointed at a spot on the navigation map, saying, "Here is a storm-turbulent area. Striking here, the opponent can use the advantageous terrain and prepared setup to suddenly attack us, with a high success rate."
"Senior!" Ji You’s eyes fixed on the three key points marked on the navigation map, asking, "Which route should we take?"
The 1st and 2nd locations are on the same line, requiring a detour and delay, but much safer.
The 3rd location saves time but is much more dangerous.
In the cockpit, Chu Jiaojiao and others each held their position, yet the communication remained interconnected.
Everyone used the same channel for communication.
After Ji You asked, Chu Jiaojiao said, "Senior, I think the 1st and 2nd locations are better. Though it takes extra time, we’re 99% confident in repelling these people."
Chu Jiaojiao, bold and meticulous, has an innate intuition for battles. She tends towards head-on confrontation with the enemy!
Besides, interstellar pirates deserve to be eradicated by everyone! How could we meet them and not deal with them?
Her grandmother, despite her age, is still fighting in the frontline against bandits!
Chu Jiaojiao detests these Star Thieves the most!
It’s this group of villainous bandits that ruined her home!
While Chu Jiaojiao gritted her teeth, Yue Qiguang had a different opinion, "Why detour so much? Is this interstellar tourism? Dad isn’t that idle, and besides, the longer the delay, the higher the variability. We should just take route 3. If we really encounter an ambush, no nonsense, just kill them!"
Yue Qiyuan glanced at his brother, a bit helpless. Perhaps one’s nature can never change. He did not speak.
Sheng Qingyan and Liu Fufeng, one apparently too lazy to think, the other just took their role as an extra, did not express any opinion.
Shen Changqing was standing in the Mecha bay at the moment, checking the Mechas for everyone. Hearing the discussion, he suddenly said, "I lean towards route 3! All of our assumptions are based on the fixed opening time of the space rift, but what if it opens early? Only we wait for it; it won’t wait for us."
After a momentary pause, Shen Changqing said, "So, it’s crucial to get there as fast as possible."
He Bi, piloting the spaceship, weighed the options and then made the decision: "Take route 3."
Chu Jiaojiao: "Senior—"
He Bi raised a hand, interrupting her, "We don’t have the leisure to dawdle. So what if there’s danger ahead? Crises are everywhere, we must face them head-on."
"Stay sharp." After finishing, He Bi quickly adjusted the direction, saying, "Don’t die prematurely."
Whish—
The spaceship instantly extricated itself from its original spot.
Meanwhile—
In the center of the storm-turbulent area, splattering celestial fragments and cosmic debris are quickly drawn in near the turbulence, shredded into nothing.
In such a dangerous place, two silver-white Mechas, like gods of war, swiftly, accurately, cruelly, dragged out the lurking interstellar pirates nearby and took them out one by one.
For a long time.
The battle near the turbulence settled into calm, the two Mechas, like tightrope walkers, hopped on large fragments of planets, bouncing away from the turbulent region.
Dr. Luo looked at Mu Jianling, whose face was as cold as frost, and sighed, saying, "Words are ineffective; you, you... still ran over here early to clear obstacles for them."
Mu Jianling coldly said, "They don’t need to waste time on such trivial matters."
Is this trivial? Sister, what do you consider important? Dr. Luo wanted to retort but held back, as Mu Jianling has such a stubborn personality, speaking is futile.
Dr. Luo said, "Since it’s done, let’s leave, shall we?"
Mu Jianling then turned around to glance at Dr. Luo, sincerely saying, "Awei, thanks."
Dr. Luo waved a hand, "No need for thanks, just fix my Mecha."
"No problem." Mu Jianling took one last look around, confirmed everything was fine, then raised a hand: "Let’s go."
The two quickly left the center of the turbulent area,
