Chapter 7 Trap?
This is a war machine that perfectly combines violence and technology, law and art to the extreme!
It is one of the foundations upon which human races stand on the battlefields beyond the borders!
"AAA-level God Base".
Zi Mei's voice carried a hint of awe.
"All one hundred military bases in the extraterritorial battlefield are of this standard. Even a Cosmic Venerable would have to pay a heavy price to forcibly break through them. This is our only safe haven on the battlefield."
"It's spectacular."
Shi Feng murmured, his eyes wide open.
Lin Qiyue's heart was also stirred.
Seeing such magnificent war relics up close is far more awe-inspiring than reading about them in documents.
This AAA-level divine base is itself the pinnacle of the combination of mechanical technology and human understanding of laws, and a direct manifestation of the race's war strength.
"Look at those cannon muzzles."
The shadow pointed to the menacing giant cannons on the surface of the base.
"Don't be fooled by their clumsy and outdated appearance. Once they unleash their power... they are terrifying weapons capable of instantly turning a starry sky several light-years across into absolute nothingness. The God Base, if it doesn't move, will cause the heavens and earth to shatter."
The Stinger's chilling voice added, "Therefore, within the base's boundaries, it's absolutely safe. But once you leave..."
He didn't finish his sentence, but the meaning was clear.
The Shadow Shuttle began to accelerate, moving away from the military base that resembled a giant star beast.
Lin Qiyue's gaze fell upon the void in front of the spaceship.
This is no longer a safe haven.
Countless pieces of debris floated in the void.
Broken spaceship fragments, frozen Zerg carapaces, mutilated mechanical golems, and even some indistinct corpses of warriors from various races... they silently tell the story of the cruelty of this star system.
"Those wreckage..."
Shi Feng looked at the huge skeleton of a demonic beast floating past the window and couldn't help but ask.
"It's worthless, or it's a trap."
Qianmian replied, now appearing as a shrewd businessman.
"The valuables have already been looted. Look at our flight path; we've been deliberately avoiding those large wreckage areas, just in case there's an ambush by aliens."
Lin Qiyue also noticed this.
The Shadow Shuttle does not fly in a straight line, but is controlled by an intelligent system to skillfully traverse relatively clean void areas, keeping its distance from potentially dangerous debris piles, asteroid belts, and energy turbulence zones.
"The entire Ninth Battlefield, apart from the barracks bases, is a battlefield."
Zi Mei's calm voice came through.
"Relax a bit, but be ready for battle at any time. Our destination this time is the outer edge of the Huaguang Nebula, about 1.2 light-years from the base. It is one of the most fiercely contested areas in the Ninth Battlefield, where powerful individuals gather and opportunities and dangers coexist. Our team's strength only allows us to operate on the outermost edge."
"We need to reach a pre-designated 'space shuttle point' first. It has been cleared and is free of obstacles, allowing us to shuttle into the dark universe. It will probably take another half a day of flight."
The spaceship continued its journey through the perilous void.
Lin Qiyue could sense that although the veteran team members in the Security Hall seemed to be chatting casually, everyone's nerves were actually in a state of subtle tension, with sharp eyes and outward perception.
Even the ever-smiling Qianmian unconsciously tapped his fingers lightly on the armrest.
He also quietly adjusted his state of mind to ensure that he could react instantly should an emergency occur.
……
A battlefield beyond the realm, somewhere in the void of space.
A small, unremarkable gray-black meteorite fragment, only a few meters in diameter, floats quietly among countless pieces of debris.
Its surface is pitted and covered with impact marks, blending perfectly with its surroundings. Even when a detector performs a high-precision scan, it will only be classified as the most ordinary cosmic dust.
However, at the very core of this fragment lies an extremely small energy reactor and a sophisticated detection system.
It is silently sending a weak signal in a certain direction, on a frequency band that is almost undetectable by conventional means.
About 0.3 light-years away from this meteorite fragment, inside a machine race war fortress that has been completely hollowed out and disguised as an asteroid.
In the cold, metallic hall, two mechanical beings, whose bodies seemed to be made of silver mercury and whose forms were constantly being subtly adjusted, stood side by side.
A huge virtual screen floated in front of them, clearly displaying the Shadow Shuttle's flight trajectory, speed, and a rough analysis of energy reactions transmitted back through special detection devices.
"Target: Human E9-class spaceship 'Shadow Shuttle,' traveling at 0.8 times the speed of light, heading towards the pre-designated shuttle point 'S-774.' Based on its evasion route and characteristics, there is a high probability that there are immortal gods on board, and the number of World Lord warriors is estimated to be between 8 and 10. The energy reaction intensity is high, indicating that it should be an elite squad."
One of the slightly slender mechanical beings reported in a flat, electronic voice.
"Elite Squad..."
Another, more robust mechanical being with a dark golden sheen on his skin emitted a deep hum.
"Shattered Light just succeeded, with considerable gains. Our Iron Wall team has been lurking in this area for seven standard cosmic years, only catching a few small fry. This elite human team... is a good target."
"Should we consider notifying the 'Shattered Light' team to coordinate an operation? The other side has an immortal being, and the strength of the realm lord is unknown."
The slender mechanical race suggests.
"No need."
The red light in the eyes of the dark gold mechanical raceman flickered.
"Those greedy 'Shattered Light' bastards, informing them will only dilute our spoils. Our 'Iron Wall' squad excels at attrition and encirclement. So what if they're immortals? As long as we force them into the pre-set battlefield, trap them with the 'Annihilation Net,' and coordinate with our mechanical legions, we can wear them down! One human military commander immortal, plus the wealth of an elite squad... that's enough for us to return to base and replenish two standard mechanical legions."
"Activate the 'decoy' program to guide them to the edge of the K-331 asteroid belt. Release the First, Third, and Seventh Mechanical Battle Groups and deploy the 'Silence Field' and 'Space Tremor Device'. I want them to experience true despair when they think they are safely traversing the area."
"yes!"
……
Inside the Shadow Shuttle, in the security hall.
"We should reach the S-774 shuttle point in about three standard hours."
Qianmian, who was in charge of navigation, glanced at the star map on the virtual screen.
"The energy readings in that area are currently stable, and there are no signs of large-scale fighting."
"Don't let your guard down."
Zi Mei opened her purple eyes.
"The closer you are to a safe point, the more likely it is to be the best place for the enemy to set up an ambush."
She had barely finished speaking.
hum-
The spaceship shuddered slightly. In the virtual environment, about a million kilometers to the side and in front, an abnormal spatial ripple suddenly appeared in a previously calm void. Immediately afterwards, a slightly disheveled figure fell out of the ripple.
