Interstellar Survival: Invasion

connection, ” said Jack before shifting his focus back to his work.

”Canyue, should we deploy the drone? ” Baron Sisse repeated his question.

”Since there are too many patrols outside for us to reach Lightning ourselves, permission granted, ” I agreed.

With my permission, a drone set off on a mission to scout the area where Lightning had been.
Right at that moment, Old Du entered carrying Dondon.
The little fellow had awakened, but he still looked exhausted.

”Dondon, good to see you awake! ” I said.

Dondon only nodded in reply.
Old Du then placed him on the control panel.
Dondon, recently awakened, immediately got to work, joining the efforts in severing the connection between Skyhawk and Fantasy.

When you ’re just trying to make great content at bit.ly/3iBfjkV.

”The drone has arrived.
Images have been sent back to us, ” said Dondon when he saw the notification.

”Show it! ” I said.

The screen in the command room immediately showed the image of a badly burnt area.
The super lightning strike had not only destroyed Lightning but had even scorched the area around the ship.
The entire ship had turned into a scorched scrap of iron.

”It was a success! Li Yizhi ’s sacrifice was not in vain! ” said Baron Sisse with a sigh.

With the ship ’s destruction assured, our hearts were rid of one of our concerns.
Now, we only needed to focus on gaining control over Skyhawk and then depart for Planet Rumble.
They still needed an hour to work on the connection, so we all waited anxiously.
Looking at the three working on severing the connection, I had to rejoice at the fact that at the very least, the enemy had yet to discover us.

”Old Du, we still can ’t contact Spacetime.
I ’m worried that something has happened to Kelly and the others, ” I said worriedly.

”Don ’t worry too much.
Kelly was once a deputy captain of a Poseidon-class battleship.
You need to trust her ability.
She is probably moving about farther away in outer space.
We need to escape Cloudcast first before doing anything else, ” said Old Du.

His words placated me somewhat.
Our current focus was to return to outer space on Skyhawk, leaving this planet where so many things had happened.
Outside the ship, the patrols were roaming about everywhere.
However, none had discovered that we were hiding in Skyhawk.
After an hour, the connection between the ship and Fantasy was finally fully severed.

”This ship is now fully ours.
We can leave at any moment, ” said Baron Sisse in excitement.

”How should we break through the blockade outside and the blockade in outer space? Will this ship be able to evade the magnetic mines? ” asked Zhang Bao ’er.

”I know an escape route.
I can take you through the route with the weakest defenses.
Apart from these restored battleships, there are no other battleships on Cloudcast itself.
After leaving the planet ’s atmosphere, we can leave quickly with a wormhole leap, ” said Jack confidently.

”The defenses here are simply not good enough to stop a battleship.
By moving suddenly, by the time the battleships stationed outside the planet noticed us, we would have wormhole-leaped away already, ” said Baron Sisse.

”But we still haven ’t established contact with Spacetime, ” said Old Du.

”Set the leap destination 0.5 lightyears away.
We will return to search for Spacetime after escaping, ” suggested Baron Sisse.

Everyone agreed with the plan.
Jack promptly set a destination 0.5 lightyears away on the wormhole-leap system.
We were going to set off in 10 minutes.
There was still a tiny issue we needed to resolve.
The ship needed a minimum of 10 people to crew it, but including Wind Spirit, there were only 9 of us.
We couldn ’t staff the ship like it was meant to.

Jack worked rapidly on the system, ultimately deciding to set the engine monitoring system and weaponry system on automatic mode after manually turning them on, temporarily vacating one of the spots that needed to be staffed.

”Hopefully the engine monitoring system will be able to work alongside the weaponry system by itself.
I also hope that the weaponry database of this ship is accurate, ” said Jack.

With everything prepared, everyone looked at me, the commander of the operation.
However, I wasn ’t familiar with the empire ’s Milky Way battleships.
Thus, I made Baron Sisse the captain for our escape.
I sat down on the deputy captain ’s seat.
The round window in front of me gave me a 180-degree view of the area in front of us.

After confirming that everyone was at their respective posts, Baron Sisse loudly said, ”Activate the shield.
Enter invisibility in 10 minutes.
Turn on all our offensive weapons.
Adjust flight trajectory.
Full speed ahead! ”
