Chapter 3, Conspiracy

The sound of the explosion drew the attention of the group, and someone shouted, "He is over there! Capture him alive!" The sound of hurried and chaotic footsteps followed.

Suddenly, the helmet scan indicated that someone was approaching. Lin Qiyu hurriedly lay down on the ground

Although the explosive power of the energy spheres fired by the energy cannon was deliberately reduced, there is an essential difference between shells and bullets. Lin Qiyu fired a total of six energy projectiles, and that group of people was blown to pieces, with at least ten injured, four of whom were seriously wounded

He had just begun to change his outfit, and as soon as he had put on the helmet of the mech ship, the Earth Awakener charged over.

Zhong Beiwen said anxiously: "Yuer, don't come over, they have two mecha ships, it's too dangerous, hurry back!"

Lin Junbao said lightly: "Since there are those who come to provoke us, we shall oblige!" After all, he is a senior officer with a military background; while he may lack other skills, when it comes to warfare, he is indeed an expert.

Lynch Yu raised his small fist in defiance towards him, simultaneously making a grimace and cursing a vulgarity.

Lynch Yu crawled for more than 50 meters and hid beside the thick roots of a large tree. The vines hanging down from the tree concealed his figure, and coupled with the invisibility feature of the lightweight armor he was wearing, he had not yet been discovered by those people

It was an animal resembling a lizard, with a color akin to yellow wild grass, adorned with patches of bright red spots on its body, emitting a hissing sound from its pointed mouth as a form of intimidation

He aimed at the base of a precariously teetering rock in the distance, held his breath, and gently pulled the trigger

It was exhilarating; he could pilot the mecha ship into battle, which was his dream. In his joy, he spared the group of people on the ground and suddenly yanked the control stick, causing the mecha ship to surge forward rapidly

Taking advantage of the moment when the three were speaking, he quietly crawled outside, where he set up some directional explosives and also installed four ultra-small missiles

Suddenly, the voice of Lin Qiyong came through the communicator: "Grandma, a crowd is moving towards us!"

Linqiyu couldn't help but stick out his tongue; his older brother was about to explode with anger. This was his most beloved mecha ship

Gao Liansheng turned and walked outside, saying: "I will go to assist them"

Gao Liansheng sighed with a bitter smile, "Yuer... sigh, he is still just a child." After saying this, he pressed a red button on the control panel

Lynch Yu received the coordinates of the landing craft from the mothership, he switched channels and called out: "I'm coming!"

The mech warship roared as it swooped down

Gao Liansheng said: "Sister-in-law, come back quickly, there are people on this planet, and they are not very friendly towards us"

After discarding the backpack, his running speed increased significantly. He also activated the acceleration device of his multifunctional boots. The drawback of the boot's acceleration device was that it produced very loud footsteps, but he could not afford to care about that now; his only goal was to return to the mecha ship as quickly as possible

Soon, a light spot indicating the landing craft appeared on the display screen

Upon receiving the news from Lin Qiyu, Lin Junbao immediately called for Zhong Beiwen's landing craft, and soon received a response from Zhong Beiwen

As he watched the person fly by, Lin Qiyu, who had been very clever since childhood, lay still and motionless.

Lynch Yu knew that those people had also gone into hiding, so he immediately switched scanning modes to track their whereabouts again, thinking to himself: "Third Brother's gadgets are truly useful, hehe, let's see how you can hide now"

Gao Liansheng immediately became furious upon hearing this and exclaimed, "What the heck!"

Three were injured in the explosion, but fortunately, they had high-energy armor, and their injuries are not severe; no one died

A figure shimmering with a faint white light swiftly passed by

Faint footsteps can be heard in the distance

Lynch Yu received instructions from his grandfather and nearly jumped out of the cabin

Time is life. He is well aware that Lin Qiyu cannot hold on for long. There may still be a chance in a one-on-one situation, but it becomes uncertain in a two-on-one scenario. The little guy performed well on the simulator, but real aerial combat is another matter.

He quickly entered a command, and the helmet's targeting system aimed at that person

At that moment, the Earth Awakener suddenly said, "Shoot to the right!" A burst of intense gunfire erupted, causing Lin Qiyu to instinctively crouch down.

Gao Liansheng laughed and said, "When it comes to mecha ship combat, I have yet to see anyone who dares to act recklessly in front of me, so rest assured." As he spoke, he rushed towards the hangar.

Lynch Yu calmly activated the mecha ship, slowly turned it around, and simultaneously powered on the engines, causing the mecha ship to emit a deafening roar

Due to the obstruction of large trees, the dense gunfire did not harm Lin Qiyu; however, the barrage of bullets, akin to a torrential storm, left him drenched in cold sweat, as he had never experienced such a vivid scene before. The training in the survival simulator is fundamentally different from real combat.

He immediately activated the directional explosive device buried next to the large tree. A distant explosion was heard, drawing the attention of the three individuals. The leader said, "Hurry! Let's get over there!"

Lynch Yu has finally obtained this opportunity, how could he possibly let it slip away? He lowered the nose of the aircraft and began to fly at an extremely low altitude. He does not favor open combat; Xiao Yu'er has always preferred tactics of ambush.

What surprised Lin Qiyu was that dozens of people suddenly opened fire at the place where the rocks were rolling down the mountain.

Aiming at the crowd, he let out a strange cry and pressed the launch button on the control stick, firing bursts of energy projectiles. He suddenly pulled the control stick, and the mech ship drew a beautiful arc as it rapidly ascended.

A flash of white light passed by, and the protective shield trembled violently

Zhong Beiwen never expected that her most beloved grandson would actually pilot a mecha ship to come over

The gunfire lasted for a full three minutes, and someone shouted: "Cease fire! Cease fire!"

Immediately following was the sound of a gunshot, as a kinetic round struck a tree beside Lin Qiyu, producing a sharp "crack" as the tree trunk, as thick as a bowl, was shattered.

Zhong Beiwen seemed quite reluctant, she said: "Jun Bao, we have found a strange liquid that is very similar to the evolution original liquid, I plan to look for more..."

Lynch Yu then realized that he was using invisibility mode, and he quickly switched to simulation mode, hiding beside a rock.

He has received specialized training on the survival simulator and has achieved a high score, with his consecutive victories earning him widespread praise for his composure and quick wit

This automatic seeking missile is very small, about the size of a cigar. He inputs the launch signal into the multifunctional electronic panel on his wrist, covers it with leaves, and then crawls into the bushes

The unexpected explosion caused that group of people to slow down. A figure leaped from the crowd with a whistle, quickly approaching Lin Qiyu.

In a situation of utter helplessness, he could only rely on Lin Qiyu's mecha ship, as it was no longer possible to cover all aspects.

Along the way, no more threatening creatures were discovered, and he was gradually approaching the mecha ship

Lynch Yu couldn't help but feel anxious as the two groups of people walked past him; ahead of them was the location where the mecha ships were docked. If they discovered the mecha ships, he would be unable to leave this planet.

Although the kinetic energy gun is set to silent mode, it will cause an explosion upon hitting the target, and he was too close to it

Lynch Yu cautiously looked around and saw the three individuals remaining in place, pacing back and forth with their guns. He felt a slight sense of relief; if the three were to disperse and lie in wait, it would be difficult for him to withdraw from this location, as any moment of inattention could lead to his exposure.

Lin Junbao reached out to stop him, saying: "There is no time..."

He was gasping for breath, as the burden on him was too heavy. The forest was quite dense, which also affected the speed of those pursuing him

This strike accurately hit the support point of the rock, causing it to crash down with an unexpectedly great force. The group quickly crouched down, and the red dot detected by their helmets immediately vanished.

He activated the weapon launch system, opened the energy cannon at the bow of the ship, and adjusted the power of the energy cannon. He did not wish to kill anyone, so the power of the energy cannon was set to the minimum.

Lynch Yu did not dare to move at all, knowing full well that if he were discovered, there would be no way for him to escape

After activating the energy shield of the mecha ship, Lin Qiyu felt no fear. With this layer of protection, the Earth Awakened could not harm him at all, unless faced with a more powerful super-evolver, known as the Intermediate Awakened, commonly referred to as the Sky Awakened. Only such strength could potentially breach the mecha ship's defenses.

Lynch Yu was engulfed in despair, as he happened to be lying in the path where the three were returning.

The first thing Lin Qiyu did was to transmit the intercepted information back. He informed his grandfather about the pursuit and then turned the mecha ship around, diving towards the ground

With a loud "bang," the head of the giant lizard was blown off, and its mangled flesh and shattered bones were scattered all over the ground

Lynch Yu was greatly shocked; this was an Awakener! Just like his second brother, Lynch Meng, he was one of the so-called Earth Awakeners, absolutely beyond his ability to withstand. Even if grandfather were to come, he might not be able to compete with them; they were super-evolvers

The Earth Awakener first shouted, "Beware of the attack..." but it was too late; the ultra-small missile accurately struck the scanner in that person's hand, resulting in a thunderous explosion that sent five or six people flying.

The other two individuals hurriedly crouched down. The sound of gunfire erupted violently

Two groups of a total of six individuals searched towards the direction where Lin Qiyu was located. Those individuals were all dressed in black light armor, wearing black long boots, and holding Type 3 kinetic guns.

The Earth Awakener took out a communicator, said a few words, then drew the long knife from his back with his right hand, and shouted as he swung the long knife towards the protective shield

He proudly waved his hand outward, turned on the communication switch, and began to make a call

Lynch Yu made every effort to suppress the sound of his breathing, his heart pounding like a war drum. He quietly glanced at the portable electronic map and discovered that there was still about 15 minutes of travel time to the mecha ship

He wants to vent the anger in his heart. At this age, it is still the first time he has been bullied like this. Although he hasn't suffered any significant loss, Xiao Yu'er absolutely cannot leave in such a humiliated manner

Before she had a chance to speak, Lin Qiyong exclaimed, "Huh? What? That's my mecha ship! Wow! Xiaoyu!"

Three people started running, and one of them nearly brushed past Lin Qiyu, causing his heart to almost stop from shock

The mech ship glides slowly

The Type 3 kinetic energy gun can penetrate standard light armor, and even an ordinary person evolved to level 6 cannot withstand the attack of such a weapon

Under the command of the Awakener of the Earth, that group of people raised their guns and fired at the mecha ship, but the kinetic guns posed no threat to the mecha ship

Lin Junbao secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Wenwen, come back quickly, there is something important."

Lynch Yu's helmet is a modified treasure; even if these two individuals are lying on the ground, the helmet can calculate their hiding positions based on the kinetic energy of the incoming projectiles.

He fixed the positions of the two individuals and launched two ultra-small missiles

Lynch Yu's scalp tingled; it was the first time he had witnessed such a technique. That diagonal slash was truly impressive, capable of slicing through even a flying missile. This individual is not just exceptionally strong.

Lynch Yu was drenched in cold sweat, wondering who these people were, as they recklessly opened fire. If he accidentally exposed himself, these bullets would surely not spare him, and his life would be in jeopardy

Soon, the three individuals disappeared from the helmet's scanning display

With a loud bang, the person was blown away, and although they would not die, they would certainly be injured

Gradually, the surroundings quieted down

Listening to the footsteps of the group in the distance growing closer, he suppressed the fear within him, straining to control his trembling body. He quietly took out two small makeshift launchers from his backpack and inserted two guided missiles into the launch racks.

Although the Earth Waker could not hear what Lin Qiyu was saying, he could tell from the lip movements that she was cursing. Enraged, he let out a loud roar and struck the energy shield with his fist. With a muffled sound, he was knocked back by the impact of the shield.

The man is in his forties, which is the prime of life, equivalent to around twenty years of age in ancient times. He is wearing a black coat, and through the open lapels, one can see that he is dressed in a black bodysuit, with a silver belt around his waist and a scabbard on his back

At a distance of one meter from him, a half-meter-long reptile was staring intently at him

Bang ... ... rumble !

Lynch Yu did not know who those people were; if the mecha ship were discovered, it would be a serious problem

Gao Liansheng loaded the recording sent by Lin Qiyu into the processing brain for analysis, and soon reached a conclusion. He said, "Tu Baozi, we are in trouble"

Zhong Beiwen hesitated a bit, but she had great trust in Lin Junbao. After a while, she finally said: "Alright, let's go back"

Cold sweat dripped down from the forehead

Lin Junbao knew he could not stop him, so he said: "Be careful, I am still waiting for you to come back to play chess."

That group of people happened to be on the other side of the large tree. Lin Qiyu hid behind the tree, praying in her heart: "Don't come over, don't come over, you can't see me, can't see me..."

Lynch Yu ran while pulling out directional demolition grenades from his backpack. After quickly setting them up, he tossed them one by one at his feet. He estimated that the group was only about five minutes away from him.

The awakened one looked around and said, "He can't have run far; he must be hiding nearby. Everyone spread out to search and bring him back alive... How many people have we injured? Are there any fatalities?"

Lynch Yu finally saw the grove where the hidden mecha ship was located, and he sprinted towards it with all his might

The closer Lin Qiyu got to the mecha ship, the more nervous he became, his flickering figure swaying among the trees

He picked up the palm-sized launch pad, tightened his fingers, and surprisingly, the launch pad was crushed into a ball. He shouted: "Search forward!"

The awakened earth let out a furious roar and swiftly pounced towards the location of the missile launch

The man walked while holding a gun, glancing around. He inadvertently swept his gaze over the large tree behind which Lin Qiyu was hiding, and the gun's muzzle followed suit. Although it was just a fleeting moment, Lin Qiyu felt a surge of tension and quickly shut his eyes

Lynch Yu suddenly recalled the Earth Awakener, and he activated all the directional explosives and ultra-small missiles he had deployed, causing a cacophony of explosions to erupt.

At the moment when the Earth Awakener struck the seventh blow, the mech ship ascended into the sky

Finally, the large lizard moved, and in that instant, Lin Qiyu fired his gun

Lynch Yu carefully took out two directional demolition charges and inserted them at the roots of the tree, switching the detonation mode to helmet indication

He hesitated for a moment, switched channels and said: "Yuer, your grandmother and the others are in danger, you need to find a way to escort them. Be careful, the enemy has two mecha ships. Don't engage them head-on, just hold them off. Yuer... you... you must be careful!"

That group of people searched into the distance

He cannot take the risk of engaging with the large lizard, as an un-evolved body is very fragile

Lin Qiyu ran desperately forward, but the sound of pursuing footsteps grew louder and louder. He knew he could not outrun those people; they must have all injected themselves with enhancers, and their physical strength was undoubtedly far superior to his.

After a cheer from Lin Qiyu, the aircraft circled in the sky

Soon, the sound of directional demolition charges detonating one after another could be heard

Lynch Yu immediately recognized that this type of weapon belonged to the military; only mercenaries from large corporations and aerial pirates in the civilian sector would use such powerful weaponry

Indeed, the person who chased after was bewildered

Lynch Yu felt as if his legs were weighed down with lead, and he was breathing so rapidly that he could hardly catch his breath. He turned his head to glance back, and the helmet scanner displayed that someone was rapidly pursuing him.

In a state of shock, he quickly lowered his body and dove into the nearby bushes, immediately switching the mode of his light armor protective suit to stealth.

Lynch Yu's expression grew increasingly serious, as he sensed that something was amiss, and his heart began to worry for his grandmother's safety. He lay quietly on the ground, tightly gripping the kinetic gun in his hand

Lynch Yu held his breath, not daring to move at all, as he watched one of the individuals walk by from five meters away. He could even clearly see a red spider emblem printed on the light armor of that person

Gao Liansheng once stated that within a very close range, even when wearing invisible light armor, an experienced expert would still be able to perceive it if they are keeping their eyes open

Two missiles sent two people lying on the ground flying into the air. Lin Qiyu did not dare to check and immediately got up and ran away

Lynch Yu awkwardly threw his backpack onto the ground, as it was too heavy. Before tossing the backpack, he had set a cunning trap inside it; whoever opened the backpack would be in for misfortune

He quietly drew the folded kinetic gun from his back, carefully unfolded it, loaded a magazine, and then took out two ultra-compact guided missile cartridges, setting the mode of the kinetic gun to silenced.

Lynch Yu did not dare to linger, rising to flee. In his haste, he forgot that there was still a group of people who had not yet appeared. He did not even switch to the cloaking mode, his only thought was to return to the mecha ship as quickly as possible

That group of people finally caught up

The hissing sound grew louder, and Lin Qiyu inwardly cursed his luck. He tightly gripped the energy gun, aiming the muzzle at the large lizard, yet he did not dare to pull the trigger

Lynch Mengye reported: "Grandfather, the opposing side demands that we land immediately, or they will shoot us down. The speed of the landing craft cannot compete with the mecha ship, requesting support!"

Fortunately, that group of people only brought out a scanner, and unless someone touches it, it is very difficult to detect.

He was both surprised and delighted; he was shocked that his grandmother's landing craft had been targeted by snipers, and he was pleased that his grandfather had actually allowed him to go for the rescue

The energy gun set to silent mode has significant flaws; it is ineffective against individuals who have evolved to level three or higher. However, Lin Qiyu does not wish to kill; he merely wants to divert those unfamiliar individuals.

He got up and ran towards the direction of the mech ship

Since killing that large reptile resembling a lizard, Lin Qiyu activated the biological scanning mode in the helmet's scan, allowing for the timely detection of even cold-blooded animals

Once again, a small missile was launched. The awakened one drew the long knife from his back, and in the moment the long knife was in hand, a flash of white light flickered. He actually split the missile, which was the thickness of a cigar, into two segments.

He pressed closely against the tree roots, patiently waiting, knowing that at this moment, he must not panic under any circumstances

After the person shot down the missile, he quickly rushed to the launch point. After inspecting the area, he said angrily, "Damn it! This guy is too cunning..."

Moments later, the awakened one on the ground shouted: "Cease fire! Leave three people here to observe, send two teams to the right to search, send two teams to the left, and the rest follow me!"

Observing their blatant demeanor, Lin Qiyu became even more cautious. He activated the cloaking feature of his light armor, switching it to mimic the colors of the surrounding environment, and then carefully crept to the left. The cloaking feature is far less effective when in motion compared to the simulated colors.

He had a dark expression on his face, with two very black eyebrows above his strong brow bone

Then, the awakened of the earth said, "Cease fire, everyone shoot to the left!" This time, the direction of fire was towards the place where Lin Qiyu was located

That person is not an expert, so naturally, they cannot detect Lin Qiyu's whereabouts

When encountering Earthlings in outer space, it is generally customary to approach and engage in conversation, exchanging opinions with one another. However, due to Lin Qiyu's experience, Lin Junbao is concerned that these individuals may have ulterior motives. He does not wish for any trouble to befall his partner, so he urges her to return quickly

This is a weapon designed by Ke Zhenfeng. Although its power is not great, it is much more formidable than kinetic projectiles

The Earth Awakener did not expect to see a mecha ship before him, and it was of the military standard configuration. He was infuriated by Lynch Yu's antics. There were about twenty of them, originally assigned to a different mission, but they were completely disrupted by Lynch Yu, making him determined to capture this troublemaker.

The alarm echoed in the cabin as he activated the shipwide broadcast, stating: "Attention everyone, Level One Alert! Zhang Baogu and Tan Hu, immediately pilot the mecha ship to assist the landing craft, while the rest of you take your positions."

Lynch Yu was sharp-eyed; he noticed that among the group, someone took out a small scanner. This device could detect life forms within a hundred steps, and even the cloaking function of the light armor they wore would be ineffective. As long as they were scanned, their true form would be revealed

Lynch Yu was startled as the dashboard in front of him displayed that the energy shield had decreased by one notch

Lynch Yu rushed over excitedly, quickly climbed into the cockpit, and the first thing he did was to activate the mech ship's defenses. In an instant, the energy shield of the mech ship was deployed, and a faint blue light flashed and disappeared.

The mech ship quietly rests at the edge of the forest

He lightly pressed the launch button, and a red light flashed as a small missile shot forward like an arrow

He was both anxious and angry, wondering how this person could be so difficult to deal with! He increased the energy output, preparing for takeoff

A loud shout came from the side: "Stop! Raise your hands!"

Lin Qiyu had studied extraterrestrial zoology, and he knew that reptiles adorned with vibrant colors often possessed special abilities. Some were highly venomous, while others had energy-based offensive capabilities. In short, it was best to avoid provoking them. However, this time the distance was too close, leaving him no option to retreat.

Lin Junbao immediately became anxious, and he shouted into the communicator: "Wenwen, hurry and leave there!"

Cui Zhiyuan reported: "Commander, we have taken off and discovered that there are two mecha ships intercepting us"

Suddenly, three individuals charged in from the left. Lin Qiyu knew that the kinetic energy gun in his hand was insufficient to pose a threat to them, so he quickly raised his gun and fired a miniature missile at the nearest person

The helmet scan indicates that two more individuals have subsequently appeared

Before long, the Earth Awakener rushed back and coincidentally met up with that group of people

As soon as Lin Qiyu crawled into the grass that was half his height, he froze, his heart pounding violently.
