Chapter 2132 - 2132 Desperate Escape

2132 Desperate Escape

There was indeed a ship hangar in front of the team, but several fighter planes were blocking the opening at the moment. Only half of the fighter plane that was at the very front was left — the other half had already been cut off by the warped hull.

Clearly, an energy cannon fired by Earth’s fleet had hit the hangar just now, which was why it was so badly damaged

From a battle perspective, it was an absolutely exquisite shot.

But with that tide of energy hot on the team’s heels, this shot sucked.

Not only was there wreckage in front of the damaged opening, they still had to break through parts of the ship’s hull; it was too late for Big Dipper to cut through with his katanas.

Luke was still the quickest to react.

Seeing the situation, Knight grabbed Skye without hesitation. At the same time, he took out a bunch of cartridges containing nanomaterial from his inventory and stuffed them into a slot at his waist.

On the other side, Big Dipper did the same and also filled Wade’s slot.

Although each nanocartridge was only worth 10 credit points, Wade, this miser, felt like he had spent a million dollars.

Since he had a self-healing ability and wasn’t afraid of death, he hadn’t bothered with the cartridges at all.

With the help of Telekinesis and an exceptionally swift hand speed, the entire process took the two clones less than two seconds.

Big Dipper then threw Wade at Thor. “Use him as a shield.”

Thor subconsciously caught Wade. “What?”

Luke, on the other hand, had already used his super clearance authority to turn Wade’s back into a huge curved shield.

Thor grabbed Wade under the armpits and held this ‘shield’ out in front of him.

The curved shield was big enough to cover all of Thor to form a perfect 180-degree defense.

Wade, who had broken many bones after being hit by the Power Stone, was dumbfounded. “Boss, I’ll die like this.”

“Reimbursement for all expenses, plus 100 credit points,” Big Dipper said casually as he appeared in front of Selina in a flash, his hands also turning into a big shield.

Selina frowned. “I can protect myself.”

Big Dipper gestured at Wade and sent her a private message. “You don’t want to look like that turtle, do you?”

Selina glanced at Wade, who was being held up by Thor, and was stumped when she saw that with his back as a shield, he really did look like a big turtle.

She instantly fell silent. She might as well die if she had to look that ugly.

In a span of a few words, the wave of destructive energy hit them.

Everybody had their backs to the damaged hangar opening as they faced the blinding white flood.

Boom!

The fighter planes in the hangar were thrown back against the wall as if they weighed nothing more than leaves.

The white torrent didn’t slow down at all; it was like an ordinary person breathing in dust.

The next moment, everyone in the team saw nothing but white, even when they lowered their heads and leaned close to their shields.

The huge impact hit the shields, and the floor under everyone’s feet quickly caved in.

Then, the temperature started to rise, and the floor turned red. Everybody started to sink down even more.

The surface of the shield was instantly burned to ash before the nanomaterial could even drop to the floor.

Thankfully, Luke had supplied them with extra nanomaterial at the last minute. As the surface of the shields were being constantly eroded, the nanomaterial continued to build new layers.

Finally, they withstood the first wave.

Another torrent of white energy poured in again, however, and the white light in the hangar, which had yet to settle, shook and flared up again.

Luke frowned. If this went on, they might not be able to endure it.

Wade and his two clones had Intermediate Self-Healing, and Thor had divine power to protect him. It was basically impossible for them to die; it was just a matter of how long it would take to recover.

But Skye and Selina were different.

Skye’s physique could be considered top-notch on Earth, but she was the weakest in this team.

Although Selina had Gold Nugget to protect her, Gold Nugget was afraid of high temperatures and vibrations. It just so happened that this white energy contained both.

Unfortunately, Luke didn’t have a good solution for now.

It was already pretty good that he could put up a shield against this raging energy.

Wade’s initially robust screams were now a little weak. “Boss, I… I can’t take it anymore!”

Skye’s expression flickered. Sparing a glance for the opening behind them, and seeing that there was still no change, she finally gritted her teeth. “Give me five seconds. I’ll try to make a path.”

Knight didn’t waste words and just said, “Okay. Let’s get closer.”

That way, when a path was opened, they wouldn’t be blown out in the first instance or flung to the side and burned to ash.

Skye wasn’t in good shape.

Today, she had first powered up successive vibration pulse cannons on the battleships, and then unleashed her full strength to break through the warship’s outer hull.

It had been less than a minute since she broke through the wall, and the burden on her body was too great.

But she had to do her best, or it was hard to say how many people here would survive.

What Skye didn’t know was that opening a path was actually for her.

Actually, the others basically wouldn’t die, while the chances of Selina surviving was 50-50.

In just a few seconds, Thor, Big Dipper and Knight finally gave Skye some precious space behind them.

With the protection of the three shields, the pressure from the energy tide was reduced by half.

Selina also helped stabilize Skye’s body so that she wouldn’t lose her balance from the shock wave.

Squeezing out the remaining strength in her body, Skye gave a frantic yell, and hit a twisted crack in the warped hangar wall with her pulse cannons.

There were faint ripples, but the crack didn’t widen.

Unwilling to give up, Skye did her best to maintain her Vibration output and adjusted it as she tried to find the right frequency.

The next moment, she was stumped.

The crack in front of her suddenly shook, but her Vibration output had already dropped to a very faint level, and she had yet to find the right frequency.

Watching everything, the clone said, “It’s going to open. Hold me tight.”

Skye subconsciously wanted to do as he said, but she realized her limbs were limp. She couldn’t do it at all.

It was Selina who stuffed her on Knight’s back and wrapped her arms around Knight’s waist.

Skye, who had completely exhausted her power, was already a little muddle-headed. She mumbled to herself, “I succeeded? How?”

“The outer hull was already softening under the heat, and you just happened to find a weak point,” Knight explained simply.

Enlightened, Skye nodded blankly, then fell silent.

She was too tired and needed to rest.

If it wasn’t for the fact that they were still in danger, she would’ve fallen asleep right away.
