Ch 190: War Of Attrition

The few people on the Autumn watched the Planetary Gate’s impressive power, relieved after their initial shock.

“Amazing.”

Xiao Luo exclaimed, gazing at the Planetary Gate.

Sun Wu, though unable to see the specifics, sensed two waves of approaching crises.

But these two crises were both resolved by something in the sky, easing the tension in his body.

Luo Lengyu witnessed the Autumn’s power for the first time.

She hadn’t been here long; the grassland and Jellyfish Lake had shocked her upon landing.

Then she saw the luxurious living room, kitchen, and meeting room, further astonishing her.

Now, however, Qiu Yi’s strange aircraft, possessing incredibly strong defense capabilities, left her speechless.

“Truly amazing…”

Luo Lengyu’s wonder increased her curiosity about Qiu Yi.

As the last big star of Human Civilization, she considered herself worldly.

She had seen a fair share of Black Technology still in the experimental phase, and heard of various strange inventions.

However, something like the Autumn was unheard of.

This was simply impossible for humans to create; it far exceeded the limits of human technology!

In the distance, those Outer Space spaceships remained quietly suspended, unwilling to leave.

After a few minutes, all the spaceships simultaneously launched a frenzied attack.

Kinetic Warheads, Laser Weapons, Radiation Matrix—every means was employed.

However, these attacks were all neutralized by the Planetary Gate, posing no threat.

Lu Dafei flew into a rage, watching the spaceships’ energy reserves deplete, and immediately ordered his subordinates to stop.

“Stop! Stop! Cease the attack!”

Lu Dafei roared.

His subordinates scrambled, and the devices on the control panel ceased their attack.

Lu Dafei propped his hands on the table, his face grim.

“What do we do, brother?”

Lu Xiaofei trembled, not daring to breathe, afraid of angering his brother.

“You, and Sal.”

“That foreigner, go organize the symbionts of each ship, prepare for an attack.”

“Go!”

Lu Dafei ordered loudly.

Lu Xiaofei responded quickly, grabbing a backup communicator and beginning the preparations.

Space fell silent for a moment, returning to its soundless stillness.

A Blue Jellyfish floated in the air near the Autumn, coming beside everyone.

Luo Lengyu gently touched it, then looked up at the silent spaceships.

Ai Li, standing beside her, looked doubtful and said:

“Is it over?”

“Are they leaving?”

Sun Wu unnaturally twisted his head, turning toward the spaceships, his brows furrowed:

“Not right.”

“A weird feeling…”

As Sun Wu predicted, clumps of Black Mist began to emanate from the spaceships.

From those Black Mists emerged various weird creatures, beginning a combined attack on the Autumn.

Ai Li, looking at the Black Mist, calmed down:

“It’s alright, those aircraft are very good at dealing with this weirdness.”

“They’ve walked right into our guns.”

Ai Li was very confident.

After all, Ai Li had witnessed the power of these aircraft during the previous Black Mist attack.

Green lines began to flow on the surface of the Planetary Gate’s main flight vehicle; this was the manifestation of the Ghost-Avoiding Stone’s energy flow.

As the weird creatures approached the Autumn’s perimeter, the main flight vehicle’s launch ports emitted green light beams.

Like sharp arrows, the green light beams, merely grazing the weird creatures, instantly shattered them.

The green arrows darted through space, crashing and smashing, quickly eliminating all the weird creatures.

“Well, as expected.”

Ai Li watched with pride as the weird creatures were annihilated one by one.

Luo Lengyu, unlike those around her, was stunned, her mouth slightly open, watching the green light beam.

She never expected that this aircraft could not only withstand technological weapons but also deal with weirdness.

“Is this why the Autumn survived the Black Mist attack?”

Luo Lengyu increasingly felt how dilapidated her previous spaceship was, incomparable to the Autumn.

With these things, a Black Mist attack was certainly not a problem.

“This must be something Qiu Yi recently made.”

“I haven’t seen these aircraft before.”

Luo Lengyu carefully recalled the details of her landing on the Autumn, judging.

“Joining here was the right choice.”

Luo Lengyu couldn’t help but feel relieved.

Since being rescued by Qiu Yi, seeing the verdant lawn and the vibrant, harmonious Jellyfish Lake here, she had intended to stay.

Of course, she had also used some little thoughts and means at the time.

The current situation undeniably proved her right.

“Time to relax a bit.”

Ai Li stretched, watching the Planetary Gate’s continuous automatic operation, feeling much more at ease.

“Much ado about nothing; I thought those people were more powerful.”

Ai Li chuckled.

Xiao Luo, Sun Manwen, and Sun Wu also visibly relaxed.

With the Planetary Gate, there was truly nothing to worry about.

Luo Lengyu ignored them, standing alone, muttering to herself:

“Where does the energy come from?”

“Why can it destroy the weirdness?”

“It can’t be endless.”

“How strange…”

Luo Lengyu fell into various hypotheses.

Everything here was too strange, defying common sense.

Too many secrets, too much wonder.

Luo Lengyu thought of those tin houses.

The camp rules Zhang Shuyue had given her emphasized the prohibition of entering those tin houses.

Perhaps, there lay the source of all the secrets.

Unfortunately, Qiu Yi had explicitly forbidden them from approaching.

“Jishi Society, I can use this.”

Luo Lengyu pondered internally:

“Later, I can suggest some things to Qiu Yi.”

“To have him establish a level system within the Jishi Society.”

“If I can reach the core, I might be able to get a glimpse of those secrets.”

Luo Lengyu began to daydream about the future, a smile appearing on her face.

…

On a medium-sized ship, Lu Dafei was furious.

“Impossible, impossible?”

Lu Xiaofei stood beside him, dazed, muttering to himself repeatedly.

The atmosphere in the ship was silent and tense.

The dozen or so people working and operating the control panel dared not speak, silently doing their jobs.

Lu Dafei impatiently snatched the communicator from Lu Xiaofei, giving him a disappointed glance.

“Cease all attacks!”

Lu Dafei loudly commanded through the communicator.

“Starting with ship one, each ship will attack in turn, using conventional weapons and symbionts. Attack duration: three hours, interval: one hour. All ships, do you copy?!”

“Copy!”

“Copy!”

“…”

Lu Dafei slammed the communicator onto the table, exasperated:

“I don’t believe it, so many people can’t take it down!”

He turned to his brother, scolding:

“Aren’t you a symbiont? Don’t just stand there, go rest and prepare for the attack!”
