Chapter 581 A desperate battle and a glimmer of hope
The attacks from the aircraft surged forth again like a tidal wave. Lin Yu and his crew's warship teetered precariously amidst the hail of bullets. Each strike of black energy beams caused the warship to groan in agony, its shields flickering with a faint light, threatening to shatter at any moment. Lin Yu gripped the control stick tightly, veins bulging on the back of his hands, large beads of sweat rolling down his forehead.
"Listen up, everyone! We have no way out. This is a do-or-die battle!" Lin Yu's voice was firm and resolute, echoing through the communication channel. He quickly scanned the instrument panel and found that the weapon energy was about to run out, while the aircraft's offensive showed no signs of weakening.
"Xiao Wang, concentrate the remaining energy and attack the core of the aircraft!" Lin Yu decisively ordered. Xiao Wang took a deep breath, his fingers flying across the control panel, redistributing the weapon's energy. The laser cannons emitted light again, though the energy was not as abundant as before, each shot precisely hitting the aircraft's vitals.
Ellie was anxiously monitoring the amethyst harvesting progress while striving to maintain the warship's energy balance. "Amethyst harvesting is 95% complete, just a little longer!" Her voice trembled slightly, yet was filled with determination.
Although Sora's mysterious warship was severely damaged, they did not give up. Sora commanded the crew to use the remaining energy on the warship to launch a final golden pulse, attempting to relieve the pressure on Lin Yu and the others. However, there were simply too many aircraft, and their resistance seemed somewhat inadequate.
In the midst of the fierce battle, an aircraft seized an opportunity and launched a powerful missile hurtling towards Lin Yu's warship. Lin Yu's pupils constricted as he attempted to dodge, but the warship's maneuverability was severely hampered by insufficient energy. In the nick of time, Sora piloted the mysterious warship and rammed it into the missile, using her own vessel to block the fatal blow.
"Sora!" Lin Yu cried out in anguish, his eyes filled with rage and resentment. The mysterious warship, struck by the missiles, was reduced to a raging fireball, its fragments scattering in all directions. A resolute fighting spirit ignited within Lin Yu; he decided to gamble everything.
"Everyone, concentrate all remaining energy on the engines! We're going to break through the encirclement of the aircraft!" Lin Yu shouted. Without hesitation, the team members swiftly carried out the order. The warship's engines roared deafeningly, blazing with light, and propelled by the energy, it hurtled towards the encirclement of the aircraft like a shooting star.
Seeing this, the aircraft immediately intensified their firepower, attempting to stop them. Black energy beams intertwined into a web of death, but Lin Yu kept his eyes fixed on the front, his gaze resolute, showing no sign of retreat. The warships weaved through the beams, and finally, their shields succumbed to the pressure and shattered completely.
Just when everyone thought they were about to be trapped, Ellie excitedly shouted, "Amethyst collection complete!" At the same time, Lin Yu piloted the warship and successfully broke through the encirclement of the aircraft, entering a relatively safe area.
Without even taking a breath, they quickly and carefully placed the amethyst, preparing to leave this dangerous star system. However, when they tried to activate the warp drive, they discovered that it had malfunctioned and could not start properly.
"What happened?" Lin Yu asked anxiously. Ellie quickly checked the equipment, her expression turning serious: "The warp drive was severely damaged in the battle just now and will need time to repair."
Meanwhile, the spacecraft seemed determined not to let them go, readjusting their formation and giving chase once more. Could Lin Yu and his team successfully repair the warp drive and safely return to the Cosmic Alliance headquarters with the Purple Crystal before the spacecraft caught up?
