Chapter 250 [Apostle]?
Dark Star's lips were sealed, and he could only glare at himself angrily. He slowed down the speed of repairing his body.
Because this strange metal shell was constantly damaging his self-repairing body, causing him severe pain.
Li Yu would not give him a chance to complete the repair, so it would be better to reduce the pain.
This energy cannon can just replace the small electromagnetic cannon. Li Yu thought that although the electromagnetic cannon is easy to use, it can no longer keep up with his progress.
Brother Anxing is really considerate and provides him with upgrades in a timely manner.
However, there was one more thing before that. Li Yu immediately turned on the smart terminal and threw several energy bombs into the distance.
Amid the roar, Li Yu dialed the communication link of the person in the Guixing Fleet who was responsible for contacting him.
"Hurry... come and save me, someone is ambushing me." Li Yu said in a hurried tone and fired cannons into the open space. The roar continued and the earth shook.
Anxing stared, not understanding what Li Yu was doing.
In the Guixing Fleet hidden near the Ordos Galaxy, the non-commissioned officer responsible for contacting Li Yu frowned and listened to Li Yu's call for help.
He did not panic at all and asked calmly: "Who ambushed you? Was it those two A-level life forms?"
He was somewhat puzzled. According to normal estimation, it was impossible for the two A-level life forms to reach the Ordos galaxy so quickly.
“Boom… Boom… I don’t know who it is… Bang… Come and support me, I can’t hold on any longer… Ah…” A miserable cry for help came from the other side.
"How many people are there in the ambush? How strong are they?" the sergeant asked again.
"Bang-boom! Da da da-... Damn, I'm almost dying, how can I have time to pay attention to these!" An angry shout came from the other side.
The sergeant thought for a moment and then said hastily:
"I understand. You must hold on. We will be ready to provide support right away!"
After hanging up the phone, the sergeant suppressed his anxious look, walked towards the command room with a serious face.
"So straightforward?"
Li Yu was a little surprised and stopped his random firing behavior. Could it be that he had estimated wrongly?
Didn’t the Guixing Fleet plan to give up on him?
…
The Meteor Fleet is one of Guixing's advanced fleets. Unlike the internal cruising fleet, the Meteor Fleet is larger in scale and is also more adept at interstellar warfare.
There have been records of killing A-level life forms more than once, and there have also been records of destroying civilizations that were ignorant of the immensity of the world and declared war on Guixing.
"... This is what happened. Li Yu was ambushed by unknown people. The exact number of people, their strength, and their origins are unknown..."
The petty officer reported to the fleet commander, Elton Ramos, while several other deputy commanders were also shown on the split holographic screen.
“How could there be an ambush? The Ordos galaxy is just a low-level galaxy. It doesn’t have any high-level combat power at all.” One of the deputy commanders asked in confusion.
"Is this true or false? Is he testing us?" another deputy fleet commander speculated.
Elton knocked on the table: "...I just received news that a high-energy reaction was indeed detected on the main planet of Ordos, reaching Class A."
Several deputy commanders changed color slightly. "Where did the high-energy reaction come from? Mobilize the satellite of Ordos to check where the energy reaction broke out."
Without the deputy commander's reminder, Elton had already issued the order. He glanced at his subordinates' reports and frowned slightly: "There is another powerful artificial intelligence on the internal network of Ordos. The entire Ordos has been controlled by it."
"What!?"
Several deputy commanders were a little surprised, and one of them even said, "The Comet Server Array we carry occupies three transport ships, and we still can't defeat the enemy?"
"It will take time. According to the report from the network department, the artificial intelligence on the Guixing network is very strange and has a very high call efficiency..."
Elton didn't know much about artificial intelligence and didn't understand what his subordinates meant by "strange". He was the fleet commander and was only responsible for taking charge of everything.
"We need to find out whether the people who ambushed Li Yu came for him or had been lurking in the Odos galaxy for a long time."
"Yes, if it's the former, it's fine. But if it's the latter, then Odos seems to have some secrets."
"Didn't Odos ask for help before, saying he was attacked by predators? Could it be those predators? I remember that Li Yu pointed out that Dark Star was a predator. Could it be that those predators were taking revenge on Dark Star?"
"Impossible. Predators won't be so 'loyal'. And if those predators have A-level attack methods, I don't think Odos will have a chance to ask for help."
“…”
The deputy commanders made various guesses, and the non-commissioned officer on the side hesitated. Finally, he asked, "Sir, how should I reply to Li Yu?"
The deputy commanders' discussion suddenly stopped. Elton glanced at him and said indifferently, "What did you say before?"
The sergeant hesitated and said, "I say...tell him to wait. We are preparing support."
"Then reply according to this answer..." Elton didn't seem to care about Li Yu's life or death, and he didn't prepare any support.
The sergeant took the order and left without any objection. He just needed an order.
After the sergeant left, a deputy commander frowned and said, "Are we really not going to take action? If he dies, will those two A-level life forms still come?"
"As long as we block the news, no one will know that Li Yu is dead."
"And Lord Horus has already said when he came here... We don't need to care..." He was interrupted by Elton halfway through his words: "It's not that we won't take action, we just need time to prepare."
Several deputy commanders understood what was meant and stopped discussing the issue. Instead, they asked, "What secrets does Ordos itself seem to be hiding?"
"Should we send a reconnaissance team down to take a look?"
Elton thought for a moment and nodded, "Send the [Queen Bee Team] down to synchronize the information in time."
The holographic screen gradually went out, and several deputy commanders disappeared. Elton's expression flickered as he stared at the projection of the Ordos galaxy that appeared on the tactical table, wondering what he was thinking about.
…
On the other side, David was also listening to his subordinates' reports. They paid more attention to Odos and scanned the high-energy fluctuations more quickly.
"Unknown forces?" David stroked his chin and also asked his subordinates to mobilize satellites to observe the location where the energy fluctuations came from.
"Control of the satellite has been seized by an unknown intelligence and has not been recovered yet." The subordinate reported with his head lowered, his tone sounding a little weak.
"Where are the additional detectors?" David asked with a frown.
"The signal has also been intercepted and cannot be used for the time being."
David's face turned ugly. There was a hidden force on the planet Ordos, and he didn't even know about it.
…
"Two powerful artificial intelligences are wreaking havoc on the internal network of Ordos?" Li Yu heard Xiao Chaonao's report and roughly guessed who the two parties were.
"Can you handle it?" he inquired.
The noisy projection lowered its head, seeming a little ashamed: "Odos's network is too low-level. I can hold out for about ten minutes with my innate advantages."
"Ten minutes, that's about it..." Li Yu nodded, and then as if he had thought of something, he said, "Can you let those two AIs fight each other and then withdraw silently?"
"Sure..." Little Noisy responded, "They haven't discovered each other yet, they are just attacking me."
Li Yu nodded. Up to now, there was still no response from the Meteorite Fleet, and he almost understood.
His idea was correct. The Meteorite Fleet really had no intention of paying attention to him and simply wanted to drag it out.
It goes without saying that Vimala and Horus are behind this.
Looking at Brother Anxing, Li Yu had just untied the sealing metal plate when Anxing said, "Guixing has abandoned you. You are used as bait, and you will not have a good ending."
His expression calmed down. Although he was captured, Li Yu could do nothing to him. The most he could do was torture him.
When the pursuers arrive, Li Yu will die anyway. He will be able to escape sooner or later, so he is now calm and looks forward to Li Yu's miserable death.
"Indeed..." Li Yu agreed perfunctorily and asked curiously, "Who is behind you? Which noble in the Xingyao Empire knows the exact location of the Titan ruins? He must be in a high position and have great power."
An Xing snorted coldly, with no intention of answering at all.
"You are at least an A-level life form, and I am also a decent person. I can't do such a thing as stuffing you into the toilet." Li Yu thought for a moment and suggested:
"How about this, I'll tell you something and you answer a question for me, how about that?"
An Xing's eyebrows jumped. A respectable person? You are obviously threatening me. If I don't cooperate, I'm afraid Li Yu will be disgraced on the spot.
Thinking that such an end would indeed be worse than death, Anxing decided to follow the path given by Li Yu.
This guy will be finished sooner or later. Even if he knows something, it’s okay... Anxing comforted himself in this way.
"Are you curious about why your strength weakens every time you face me?" Li Yu took the initiative.
Anxing nodded silently. To be honest, he was indeed curious about this question.
"This is my curse on you. If I don't use external force, our fight will be evenly matched, and neither of us can do anything to the other." Li Yu didn't mind describing the effect.
Because Anxing had guessed it almost, he refused to confront him head-on this time and used the modified main gun for the sneak attack.
“Only with the help of external forces can the strength be tilted.”
After hearing this, An Xing confirmed his guess, and then heard Li Yu laugh and say, "The interesting thing is that if my strength exceeds yours, you will most likely force yourself to increase your strength when facing me."
Because the effect of [50-50] will only affect the strength of the target, Li Yu himself will not be affected.
An Xing's face darkened. This coincided with some of his guesses. He said stiffly, "That day will never come."
Brother Anxing was being stubborn, but Li Yu didn't care and said, "It's time to answer my question."
An Xing was silent for a moment, and then said, "I don't know exactly who he is, but he should be one of the seven top nobles in the Xingyao Empire."
"He started to drive me a long time ago..."
An Xing's eyes were deep, as if he had thought of something. Li Yu seemed to see an exclamation mark appearing above his head. Clicking on the dialogue at this moment should lead to the background story of the big movie.
Unfortunately, he didn't want to care about Anxing's mental journey. Everyone has their own story.
"Did he only send you here? How many A-level life forms are there in Odos? Do you know the strength of the Star Empire Exploration Team?"
Li Yu asked a series of questions, leaving An Xing speechless. Didn't they say that good questions should be asked in turn?
But seeing that Li Yu seemed to have forgotten about this matter, An Xing did not remind him, in order to avoid this guy suddenly becoming indecent.
"I have another docking team, but they haven't arrived yet. I don't know how many A-level creatures are hiding in Odos. Theoretically, the Imperial Exploration Team should only have one A-level life form." Dark Star thought for a moment and said:
"Those two A-level life forms that have a grudge against you should have also received this mission."
Li Yu was a little surprised. He didn't expect that so many complicated threads would converge on Ordos at the same time because of this Titan relic.
"Do you know what is in this Titan ruins?"
When An Xing heard this question, he hesitated for a moment, which made Li Yu, who was staring at him, realize that something was wrong. He said in a suggestive tone, "I suddenly have to pee, and there's no toilet nearby..."
An Xing's expression instantly turned ugly, and he gritted his teeth and said, "It's the [Apostle]"
"Apostle?" Li Yu repeated the name, not understanding it, and continued to ask: "Explain it clearly."
"I don't know exactly what it is, I just know it's an [Apostle]," An Xing said coldly.
"I can't hold it anymore." Li Yu frowned.
"I really don't know. My liaison team hasn't arrived yet!" Anxing shouted angrily.
This guy really seemed to have no idea, so Li Yu did not continue to ask. Liu Xing should know what it was, so he could ask him when he had time.
Dark Star gave Li Yu a general understanding of the various people hiding in Odos, so that he would not be completely in the dark and know nothing.
During the questioning, another five or six minutes passed. Li Yu estimated that it was about time, so he started firing blanks again and dialed the communication link with the non-commissioned officer.
"... bang-boom, da da da... Has your support arrived? I'm dying..." Li Yu's weak voice was heard, accompanied by faint groans, as if he was seriously injured.
The sergeant was a little surprised and asked subconsciously: "You are still alive?"
After he finished speaking, he regretted it and thought he shouldn't have spoken like that.
As expected, Li Yu immediately said dissatisfiedly: "What do you mean I'm still alive? Do you still expect me to die?"
"Not really... our support is on the way, you just need to hold out for a while longer." The sergeant began to delay time as ordered.
They didn't say they weren't prepared to provide support, but when asked, they were on the way.
"...Still on the way!? I'm about to die...boom...!" Li Yu shouted angrily.
"Support takes time." The sergeant looked helpless.
"All right……"
The sergeant was slightly stunned, Li Yu's tone suddenly became calm, and the sound of gunfire disappeared.
"Hey... why did the ambushers retreat? I'm fine, you don't need to support me." Li Yu expressed his "joy of escaping death" in a calm tone.
The sergeant was slightly stunned. Looking at the screen that had lost the signal, an incredible guess emerged in his mind... Were they being fooled?
