"Actually, I don't know. To be honest, this spaceship is not mine. My people dug it out of a ruins. What was dug out with the spaceship was the black pillar over there." Cheng Xue pointed out. Looking at the pillar stuck on the ground not far away, he said, "It took my people a long time to figure out the connection between the spacecraft and the pillar."
"Contact?" Lin Lin looked at the pillar curiously, trying to see something different.
Unfortunately, no matter how Lin Lin looked at it, he felt that this pillar was just a pillar made of a relatively special material. Apart from the color, Lin Lin could not think of anything that could connect the pillar with the spaceship.
"Didn't you find anything special?" Cheng Xue stood beside Lin Lin.
Due to the special nature of the pillar, they called it the anchor point. As long as the distance between the anchor point and the spacecraft is within five light years, the spacecraft can appear directly near the anchor point.
It is also for this reason that Cheng Xue installed the anchor point on the battleship to facilitate his return to the battleship in time for command.
"No." Lin Lin shook his head, stepped forward and knocked on the pillar with his hand. Hearing the echo from inside, he could confirm that the pillar was hollow.
However, what Lin Lin could discover had been discovered by Cheng Xue's people a long time ago. Although they knew that the pillar was hollow, they did not find any way to open the pillar. Otherwise, they would have taken it apart and looked at it long ago. .
Lin Lin was about to continue his research when Bian Zhuo's voice came from behind.
"Miss Cheng, Mr. Lin, you are back." As soon as he heard that Lin Lin and Cheng Xue were back, Bian Zhuo immediately put down what he was doing and jogged all the way to the docking point of the spacecraft.
The front line is now in a stalemate. Except for Higgins and his three Galaxy-class mechas who took the lead in launching an attack, no other Galaxy-class mechas appeared on the battlefield.
Even Higgins and his three Galaxy-class mechas withdrew from the battlefield after causing an attack and were facing off against the five Galaxy-class mechas of the Valant tribe.
"Bian Zhuo? If you don't command the battle, what are you doing here?" Lin Lin looked at Bian Zhuo curiously. The battlefield was changing rapidly. Is it really okay for Bian Zhuo to leave the main control room?
Wouldn't it be terrible if the Warrant tribe launched a surprise attack during the period when Bian Zhuo left? Since we don't have a commander, the situation of the battle changes?
"Don't worry, there won't be any problems in a short time." Cheng Xue waved her hand, then looked at Bian Zhuo and said with a smile, "What? Aren't you used to being the boss?"
Bian Zhuo smiled and touched his head. He used to assist others, but now he suddenly became the master and took charge of the battle. It was indeed a bit unaccustomed to him. Otherwise, he would not have immediately responded to the news of Lin Lin's return. Just run over.
"You still need to exercise." Cheng Xue shook his head. Bian Zhuo was good at everything, but he was too unconfident. He had obviously done well, but he just couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart.
"Let's go back and take a look first to avoid any accidents." Lin Lin suggested. Although Lin Lin trusted Cheng Xue's men, the enemy this time was after all the Valant tribe, the most powerful in the Valant galaxy. Race cannot tolerate any negligence.
Cheng Xue glanced at Lin Lin and said with a smile: "Since you have spoken, dear son, I will listen to you and let's go back and take charge of the overall situation."
Hearing this, Bian Zhuo, who was standing aside, was stunned. What did Miss Cheng just say? Dear son?
Didn't she always say that she was single? Why did such a precious son like Lin Lin suddenly appear?
"Who are you calling my dear son? We haven't seen each other for so many years, and you are still so shameless." A strange voice came from the side, and Bian Zhuo was stunned again. Who is this? You dare to talk to Miss Cheng like this, aren't you afraid of death?
Hearing this voice, the corners of Cheng Xue's mouth raised slightly, but she still snorted disdainfully: "Who do I think she is? It turns out to be our little princess of the Valant tribe. What? Can you walk on your own?"
What made Cheng Xue angry was Ou Yan, who rushed over immediately after learning the news of Lin Lin's return. She happened to hear Cheng Xue's words of "darling son" as soon as she arrived, and then the next thing happened.
"Why did my precious son become your precious son?" Ou Yan said with an unhappy expression, but Lin Lin could clearly see a glimmer of joy flashing in the eyes of his mother and Cheng Xue, his godmother.
Lin Lin knew that brilliance very well. It was exactly the same as when Jiang Chen saw him when he first went to Ziwei Universe.
It seems that the relationship between my mother and my godmother is quite good, but their words are, well, a little bit like that.
"Uh, um, let's stop arguing for now. Someone still needs to take control of the situation." Lin Lin said weakly. Although he liked watching women fight, if the two women fighting had something to do with him, then Lin Lin Linke was no longer interested.
Hearing this, Ou Yan and Cheng Xue snorted coldly, and said in unison: "Since my precious son has spoken, I am no longer as knowledgeable as this guy."
"You still call me baby son? Do you really think I won't beat you?" Ou Yan looked at Cheng Xue with an unkind look on her face. She was about to take action, but Lin Lin stopped her mother in time.
"Stop arguing, the overall situation is important, the overall situation is important." Lin Lin pulled Ou Yan and Cheng Xue away, and after talking to each other, the two reluctantly stopped arguing.
Seeing that the two had stopped arguing, Bian Zhuo also said in time: "Miss Cheng, let's go to the bridge first."
"Let's go." Cheng Xue snorted coldly and followed Bian Zhuo away.
Ou Yan and Cheng Xue followed behind them and headed to the bridge together.
With the interruption from Ou Yan and Cheng Xue, Lin Lin forgot that he had to ask the system about the pillar.
…
Back on the bridge, as Cheng Xue said, there were no major changes in the battlefield situation. There were casualties on both sides, and generally speaking, no major incidents occurred.
However, just when Cheng Xue and others entered the bridge, a red light suddenly lit up inside the bridge.
Seeing this situation, Cheng Xue immediately stepped forward and asked, "What happened?"
"There is a mecha team of the Valant tribe attacking from the rear." The sergeant in charge of observing the radar replied.
It can be seen from the radar that a team of five mechas has circled behind the fleet at some point, and has avoided the radar detection of other battleships, heading straight towards the main ship.
Cheng Xue frowned and asked, "Is there any mecha team on standby in the battleship?"
"No, Commander Bian Zhuo just sent all the mecha teams to the front line for support." The sergeant replied, if there are still mecha teams that can be mobilized, he can mobilize the mechas himself without Cheng Xue's reminder. squad.
Unfortunately, there is no mecha team on standby on the current battleship.
Hearing this, Cheng Xue's face darkened. The other party had chosen to launch the attack when there was no mecha squad in their battleship. She didn't believe that this was just a simple coincidence.
"Can it be temporarily transferred from the front line?" Cheng Xue said solemnly. With the defensive power of the battleship, it is still possible to hold on until the mecha team returns from the front line for reinforcements.
The sergeant looked solemnly and shook his head: "I just received the news that the Valant tribe suddenly launched a violent attack. It is impossible to send manpower back to the front line now."
"A sudden attack?" Cheng Xue looked gloomy. Sure enough, there was something wrong with this matter. If the enemy mecha team suddenly appeared, it could be said to be a coincidence, but now the Valant tribe suddenly launched a fierce attack. , it can’t be said to be a coincidence at all. How could such a coincidence happen?
"Let me go." Lin Lin said. He also saw that what appeared behind the battleship was a spiral arm-class mecha squad. With Lin Lin's current strength and the battleship to assist in operations, he wanted to It is not difficult to deal with this mecha team.
The only thing we need to worry about is whether this is the only mecha team. If there are other mecha teams, it will be a bit difficult to handle it with just Lin Lin's strength.
"Can you do it?" Cheng Xue looked at Lin Lin seriously. Although Lin Lin had just eliminated a spiral-arm-class mecha team in Valant City not long ago, he did it by half a dozen and half scares. Yes, the mecha team that appeared behind the battleship probably wouldn't be fooled by Lin Lin so easily.
"It's just a few spiral arm-class mechas, a small problem." Lin Lin smiled confidently.
It's not that Lin Lin is bragging, but that he really has this strength. If Lin Lin was still driving the Jiye Mecha now, even if it was a spiral-arm Jiye Mecha, Lin Lin would not say such a thing Come.
Although the Jiye mecha is also very strong, it is still a bit difficult to fight one against five, but it is different now. The mecha Lin Lin is driving is not a Jiye mecha, but a starry sky mecha.
Unless the enemy had double-digit spiral-arm-class mechas, Lin Lin would be able to finish off the enemy. It was just a matter of time.
"Son, don't be brave. This is not child's play." Ou Yan looked at Lin Lin with worry. She believed that Lin Lin had this strength, but after all, it was five battle-tested spiral arm-class mechas. She was worried about Lin Lin. Something unexpected will happen.
Lin Lin patted Ou Yan's hand gently and said with a smile: "Mom, don't worry, your son is not something that a cat or a dog can bully. What's more, I still have a trump card."
When talking about his trump cards, Lin Lin smiled mysteriously, giving the impression that he was sure of victory.
Seeing this, Ou Yan no longer stopped her, she just silently tightened the empty stack of beads in her hand and silently made a decision in her heart.
"Okay, then I'll leave it to you." Xianxian nodded to Lin Lin. It would be a lie to say that she was not worried about Lin Lin's safety, but now there is no other way but to let Lin Lin Went out and tried it.
However, Cheng Xue and Ou Yan tightened their grip on the empty beads.
At this moment, the two made the same decision, that is, when they saw Lin Lin was defeated, they immediately rushed over with the mecha.
Although they were just galaxy-level pilots, this did not prevent them from rushing out to help Lin Lin.
"Be careful." Cheng Xue patted Lin Lin on the shoulder, and then asked a non-commissioned officer to take Lin Lin to the hangar.
"I will." Lin Lin nodded heavily before leaving.
"He'll be fine, right?" Ou Yan walked to Cheng Xue and looked at Lin Lin's back with worry.
After finally reuniting with her son, Ou Yan didn't want to say goodbye so soon, but she didn't have enough strength, otherwise she would have been able to fight with Lin Lin.
However, Ou Yan didn't know that even if she was really a spiral-arm pilot now, Lin Lin would never let her go into battle. For no other reason than the fact that Ou Yan just woke up from her slumber, It was destined that Lin Lin would not allow Ou Yan to go out and take risks.
"It'll be fine." Cheng Xue nodded, she believed in Lin Lin.
…
While passing by the docking point of the snowship, Lin Lin suddenly remembered the pillar called the anchor point, so he asked in his mind: "System, do you know the black pillar just now?"
"I know." The system gave a positive answer.
Hearing this, Lin Lin felt happy. The system indeed knew what it was, but the next moment, the system's words made Lin Lin's back shiver.
"That is a beacon left by a force called Cangkong. They use the beacon to determine the location of the target universe and plunder the universe crazily until there is no grass left. But this is not over yet. They are finishing the plunder. After that, that universe will be marked, and when the time is almost up, it will come again." The system said calmly.
"In other words, our universe was given to us by this organization called Cangkong a long time ago?" Lin Lin frowned. The forces that can plunder the resources of the universe can imagine how powerful they are.
"That's right. Do you remember the beam fluid on the side of the pillar?" the system asked Lin Lin.
"Light speed fluid?" Lin Lin frowned. It seemed that there was really such a thing. At that time, he was still wondering that there would be a light strip on the black pillar. He thought it was the work of Cheng Xue's subordinates, so he didn't ask any more questions. .
"That's Cangkong's countdown. I see that it's almost time for them to attack again." The system said a terrifying thing calmly.
Some people died, but not completely...
