Chapter 324 In-depth Exploration and Escalation of the Crisis
Seeing the swarming aircraft, Lin Yu reacted quickly: "Everyone, retreat back to the landing craft and use the weapons on board for defense!" The team members moved swiftly, fighting and retreating simultaneously, and successfully withdrew to the landing craft under the cover of intense fire. The landing craft's weapon systems were operating at full capacity, beams of energy shooting towards the aircraft, temporarily halting their attack.
“This can’t go on, there are just too many of them.” Ellie stared intently at the approaching spacecraft on the screen, her heart pounding with anxiety. Lin Yu’s gaze was resolute as he quickly analyzed the situation: “We need to distract them. I’ll pilot the landing craft to draw away the main force, and you two can take the opportunity to rendezvous with the soldiers on the planet and gather more information.”
Before anyone could respond, Lin Yu activated the landing craft and shot towards the group of aircraft like an arrow. Using his superb piloting skills, he skillfully maneuvered through the enemy lines, drawing most of the aircraft's fire. Meanwhile, the remaining team members successfully rendezvoused with the planetary warriors amidst a hail of bullets.
"Follow me to our command center. There's crucial information about this disaster there," the tall soldier said, leading his team to the underground bunker. Along the way, the ruins revealed the wreckage of mechanical creatures and the panicked fleeing civilians, the brutality of war laid bare.
Upon arriving at the command center, the soldier activated an old terminal and retrieved a series of video clips. The footage showed a group of mysterious figures digging in ancient ruins, followed by the appearance of triangular flying vehicles in the sky. "We suspect they've awakened some kind of power that shouldn't have been awakened in the ruins," the soldier explained with a worried expression.
Ellie carefully examined the data and discovered that the symbols and energy fluctuations of these ruins were similar to those of the ancient civilizations they had encountered before. "This might be related to the secrets of ancient civilizations, and perhaps we can find a way to resolve the crisis here," Ellie said excitedly.
On the other side, Lin Yu, piloting the landing craft, was struggling against the onslaught of the aircraft. The landing craft's shield energy was steadily decreasing, and alarms were blaring. "We can't delay any longer!" Lin Yu gritted his teeth, seized an opening in the aircraft's energy matrix, accelerated at full speed, and surged forward. The landing craft, like a shooting star, broke through the aircraft's encirclement and flew towards the command center.
After Lin Yu successfully reunited with his team, they began to delve deeper into the clues of the ancient ruins. Ellie discovered a peculiar energy reaction hidden within the ruins, seemingly closely related to the power controlling the mechanical creatures and aircraft. "If we can find the core of the ruins, we might be able to sever their control signals."
However, their actions were detected by the enemy. Large numbers of mechanical creatures and aircraft surged towards the command center, shaking the ground and completely obscuring the sky. "We must act quickly, or we'll all die here!" Lin Yu shouted.
Under the cover of their soldiers, Lin Yu and Ellie led their team toward the ruins. Along the way, they engaged in fierce firefights with mechanical creatures, painstakingly breaking through line after line of defense. Finally, deep within the ruins, they discovered a massive energy device.
The device emitted an eerie glow, surrounded by complex energy circuits, with countless mysterious symbols flashing and jumping around. Ellie quickly took out her detection equipment to analyze the device's operating principles. "This device is the key to everything; it's emitting a signal at a special frequency, controlling those flying machines and mechanical creatures."
Just as Ellie was trying to crack the signal frequency, the aircraft and mechanical creatures had breached the outer defenses and stormed into the ruins. They lunged forward menacingly, and the situation was dire. "I'm almost there, just give me a little more time!" Ellie's forehead was covered in sweat as her fingers flew across the keyboard.
Lin Yu led his team in a desperate resistance, the gleam of their weapons flashing in the darkness. As the enemy drew closer, their ammunition was running out, and their defenses were on the verge of collapse. Suddenly, Ellie shouted, "I found it!" She quickly adjusted her equipment, emitting a counter-jamming signal.
Instantly, the frenzied attacking spacecraft and mechanical creatures seemed to be paused, their movements halted abruptly, before slowly landing, having lost power. Everyone cheered; the crisis was temporarily averted. But Ellie's research revealed that the energy device was still continuously absorbing the planet's energy, seemingly nurturing something far more terrifying. What exactly was this more terrifying crisis? And how should they deal with it?
