Chapter 4, Space Combat

Lin Junbao personally ran to the return cabin to greet them. He already knew that Xiaoyu was not in danger, but he still received a harsh scolding from Zhong Beimin.

Lynch Yu began to snore in his elder brother's embrace; he was utterly exhausted, and once his mind relaxed, he could no longer hold on.

Following that, Lin Qiyu launched a modified missile, which can only carry two warheads. This is the last one.

He flipped the aircraft's nose and charged straight towards an encroaching mech ship, screaming, "I will crash into you!" He paid no heed to another mech ship lurking on the side and pushed the mech ship's acceleration to the maximum, wildly crashing forward.

Everyone was surprised this time. Gao Liansheng pointed to the star map and said, "Let's go now! In this direction."

He knew he couldn't keep the mecha ship anymore. In desperation, he activated the ejection seat and flew out of his beloved mecha ship.

Lynch Yu's familiarity with this mecha ship is no less than that of its owner

The interstellar heavy patrol ship is a large patrol vessel equipped by the Federal Police, with combat capabilities comparable to those of the military's escort mecha ships, and it possesses the same level of power as the Silver Leopard spacecraft. The Silver Leopard spacecraft is a modified medium attack mecha ship, and the tonnage of the two is not significantly different.

Lin Qiyong took a deep breath of cold air, and unexpectedly, five mecha ships flew over. He hurriedly shouted, "Xiaoyu, run! Five mecha ships are coming, you can't beat them... quickly return to the mother ship."

Lin Qiyong clenched his fist and shouted loudly, "Well done, Xiaoyu!"

He has already dodged two consecutive attacks, sweat on his forehead sliding down along his eyebrows. He has consumed too much physical energy and feels overwhelmed, not because he is inferior to his opponent in terms of skills, but because his body can't take it anymore.

Lynch Yu let out a strange cry as he piloted the mecha ship upward. The mecha ship blocking his path charged at him with a roar, and the two individuals in their respective ships resembled ancient warriors, riding their steeds and wielding long spears, engaging in a face-to-face clash that brought them close in the blink of an eye

After entering space, the mecha ship behind caught up. Lin Chiyu called out, "You guys go back quickly, I'll hold them off." Without any hesitation, he rushed towards the five mecha ships.

That mecha ship did not spare Lin Qiuyu, turning its body and flying towards him again. At this critical moment, Gao Liansheng arrived.

He said, "Alright, let's go!"

Everyone understands that aerial combat lasts only three to five minutes; if it takes twenty minutes to arrive, who knows what the situation will be like

At this moment, Lin Junbao's voice sounded: "Do your best to fly out of the atmosphere, Lao Gao has already brought people over, hold on! They will arrive in about twenty minutes."

Two black mecha ships were in hot pursuit, and one of the mecha ships warned: "Warning, please land immediately! Land immediately!" The other mecha ship fired a series of energy projectiles as a warning.

Lynch Yu said: "By the way, Grandma, please tell Grandpa that the people attacking us have a red spider mark on them"

The landing craft rapidly ascended into the sky

The mecha ship on the opposite side tilted to evade.

The technician of that mecha ship was so shocked that he broke out in a cold sweat; he had never encountered such a frenzied opponent. The face-to-face impact was not something an ordinary person would dare to undertake, and he only held on for five seconds before turning to flee. Fortunately, he acted quickly; otherwise, he would have been hit by the energy projectile

Lin Qiyong laughed heartily and said, "Xiaoyu, if you can safely return, Big Brother will give you his mecha ship! Xiaoyu, keep it up!"

In just a brief minute, Lin Qiyu successfully destroyed two mecha ships. Although he did not rely on strength to resolve the battle, he nonetheless shot down his opponents. His heart raced with excitement as he cheered and followed the landing craft into space

Lin Qiyu rapidly flipped the mecha ship, and the overloaded pressure turned everything in front of him into black and white. He didn't even have the strength to speak, but he successfully followed the mecha ship in front of him.

At this moment, he is filled only with excitement; the combat of mecha ships in actual battle is something he has longed for.

He steadied the mech ship, closely following behind the landing craft

Lynch Yong muttered aggrievedly: "The mecha ship is fine, so Xiao Yu is fine, right? Grandma is biased!"

Gao Liansheng said: "According to the recording sent to us by Xiaoyuer, it seems they have come for the sister-in-law. Just now, the sister-in-law mentioned that a certain original liquid has been obtained on this planet, which seems to be related to the evolution liquid. If that is the case..."

Gao Liansheng said, "They are merely a group of unsightly things, nothing to be concerned about." He waved his hand dismissively, showing that he did not regard his opponents at all

Lin Junbao also wanted to go see his grandson, but upon recalling the angry expression of his old partner, he could only return to the command cabin with disappointment. As soon as he entered the cabin, he angrily exclaimed: "Old Gao, why are you running so fast... you..."

The pursuing mech ship was also not calm enough. The pilot gritted his teeth as he chased after Lin Qiyu, for his best friend had been killed by Lin Qiyu. He wanted to slowly torment Lin Qiyu, to make him die filled with fear, and he intended to tear apart Lin Qiyu's mech ship piece by piece

He still cannot figure out who dares to confront them

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Baiji said again: "Another ship has appeared!"

Lynch Yu suddenly noticed a slight crack in his protective light armor. He pressed down hard with one hand while using the other to activate the switch on the seat. A jet of flame erupted, propelling him forward for a distance.

Lynch Yu calmly activated the communicator and said, "Grandma, you all fly upwards and pretend to leave forcefully." The tone was so composed that it did not resemble that of a child.

Gao Liansheng shrugged and said, "There is no need to fight hard; our spaceship cannot sustain any damage. We are too far from the Federation. Let's go and play with them slowly!" He is a tactical expert and understands that even if such a battle is won, it would not be worth the cost.

Is the younger brother important, or is the mecha ship important?

Lin Qiyong comforted, "Grandma, don't worry, Xiaoyu can handle it!"

Lin Junbao said contemptuously, "All sorts of strange creatures have crawled out! Strange, are they specifically waiting for us?"

The other three mecha ships surrounded the landing craft

Brothers Lin Qiyong and Lin Qimen were extremely anxious, watching their younger brother struggle outside while feeling helpless themselves. Zhong Beiwen was even more distressed, not knowing what to do.

Zhong Beiwen's expression darkened as she asked, "Red spider?"

Lynch Yu calmly said, "Grandma, I won't fight them; I will just distract them." He piloted the mecha ship and swept past at an angle.

The mech ship swiftly advanced along the ground

Lynch Yu dodged the attack once again; he could no longer contain himself. Being constantly beaten by others made him extremely displeased, and he began to act recklessly

Another burst of energy beams shot over, and the wing on the other side was blown off. The cockpit cover shattered with a loud bang, and the mecha ship began to spin rapidly.

This mecha ship is Lin Qiyong's treasure, and its original form was a standard configuration of the military, but it has been completely refitted now.

Lynch Yu's mecha ship has activated its stealth function. As long as it is not in combat mode, the stealth function is quite effective. However, when the stealth function is activated, the protective shield of the mecha ship must be deactivated. As a result, after the stealth is lifted, it takes about ten seconds for the energy shield to be activated again. During this period, the mecha ship is at its weakest.

Zhong Beiwen hurriedly stood up and said, "I have prepared it for you long ago." She took out a plate of dried and sliced five-spice beef and handed it over.

He didn't continue speaking, but his meaning was very clear to Lin Junbao. If what he obtained was really the evolutionary potion, I'm afraid it would cause a sensation throughout the federation.

Chen Baiji just sat down and shouted, "Officer, look at these two points..."

If that pilot is determined to kill Lin Qiuyu, he can still accomplish it, but the consequence will undoubtedly be being killed by Gao Liansheng. He hesitated, which bought Lin Qiuyu a little time.

Gao Liansheng saw Lin Qiyu flying out of the mecha ship in the distance, and he almost broke the propulsion engine. Xiao Yu is the darling of the whole ship. Gao Liansheng rarely gets angry, but when he saw that the mecha ship even shot at Xiao Yu, he was furious.

Zhong Beimin finally stopped. She asked Lin Qiyong to hold Xiaoyu and quickly ran towards the medical cabin.

A black mecha ship aimed at the wing of the landing craft, and a burst of energy beams were fired. The landing craft suddenly turned and the energy beams missed their target.

A landing craft slowly approached Lynch Yu, who was floating in space. Lynch Meng and Lynch Yong, wearing protective armor, went out of the cabin together for the rescue. Both of them had evolved physiques and it didn't take much time to rescue Lynch Yu and bring her into the landing craft.

Linyong couldn't help shaking his head. If it weren't for Xiaoyu this time, although they might not be in mortal danger, they would definitely be caught by those people.

After a moment of silence, Lin Junbao said, "Let's prepare for battle after this crisis is over." He pressed the Level 1 combat alert button again.

The rain became even heavier, he shouted, "You guys go quickly, my mecha ship is fast, I can detach from the battle at any time, I'll go entangle them!"

The phone rang: "Minmin, is Yuer awake?" It was the voice of Lin Junbao.

Zhong Beiwen gently tapped him and said with a smile, "Little one, do you like it when grandma scolds you? Alright, be good and take a nap..."

Five green dots have appeared again on the display screen

Gao Liansheng shook his head and said, "They are not police; they look very much like modified ships of mercenaries. I will connect to the database to see if there is any relevant information."

Lin Qi Yu put down his hand in surprise and asked, "Grandma, you really won't scold me anymore?"

Lin Junbao smiled faintly, relying on his many years of combat experience and the assistance of tactical master Gao Liansheng. Dealing with these two spaceships is a piece of cake.

Lynch Yu had long understood the characteristics of this mecha ship; he particularly favored such modified machines. Lynch Yong could never have imagined that his beloved treasure had been secretly disassembled by his younger brother

Tan Hu is not only an excellent mecha pilot but also a master artilleryman

The opponent's two mecha ships have made Lin Qiyu exhausted from running around, and now he can't rely on tricks, only on his skills to deal with the opponent.

Lin Junbao smiled bitterly in anger, but in the end, it was Lin Qi who forcefully intervened. He said, "We should hurry and take Xiaoyu to the medical chamber, Grandma..."

Lin Junbao shook his head and said, "It's not that simple. I always feel that something is not right."

Lynch Yong activated all the power, pushing the landing craft to its maximum speed. However, the landing craft was still not as fast as the mecha ships, and it was evident that it was about to be caught up. At that moment, he suddenly heard Gao Liansheng's voice: "Hold steady, we are almost there!" Scanning revealed three red dots racing towards them with incredible speed.

The energy shield of the modified mecha ship is much better than that of the general mecha ship. Lin Qiyu is very clear that with the modified mecha ship, he is fully capable of dealing with opponents. The only concern is that his body may not be strong enough to withstand intense movements, which may be achievable in simulations but uncertain in actual combat.

The mech battleship combat concluded in less than three minutes, as the technical prowess of the three individuals with high consecutive victories rendered the opposing three mechs utterly defenseless

Lin Qi Yu is a child at heart, his understanding of mecha combat is very different from that of regular soldiers. He doesn't rush in for a direct confrontation, but rather enjoys ambushing and trickery. Gao Liansheng finds his tactics very frustrating and often scolds him for being unpredictable and unconventional.

The landing craft successfully returned to the exploration spaceship under the escort of three mecha ships.

He entered several commands to balance the computer, but his opponent did not let him off the hook and fiercely pounced from above

Lynch Yu smiled slightly: "Elder brother, I will be careful!"

This time he used a self-seeking missile, which is also modified. Its power is not too great, but it is very sensitive and extremely fast.

The other party seems to have not taken his lonely mecha ship seriously. Two mecha ships followed him, and three other landing ships accelerated to catch up.

Like all elderly people, she is very indulgent towards her mischievous grandson

He shouted, "Grandma, you all hurry and leave, I will distract another mech ship!"

A series of gurgling sounds came from Lin Qiyu's stomach, and he said, "I... I am so hungry..."

Lin Junbao could not afford to say anything further, his eyes scanning the screen in astonishment: "Heavy patrol ship? No, it is a modified patrol ship... Who are they?"

Suddenly, the command cabin fell silent

Lynch Yu thought he had misheard, and he asked, "Elder brother, what... what did you say?"

That pilot was cursing while pulling the control stick to pursue, suddenly, the warning lights on the instrument panel flashed urgently, he was shocked, it was a warning of being attacked. He didn't even see where the enemy was, a series of energy projectiles from below hit him and the mecha ship, causing them to explode in mid-air.

Lynch Yu activated the booster device, letting out a strange cry as the mech ship continuously rolled over in space

Zhong Beimin was both angry and amused. She really wanted to scold him severely for daring to drive the mecha ship alone, but when she saw Xiaoyuer wake up and speak, she didn't know where her anger went.

The Silver Leopard spacecraft shook violently, and its speed suddenly increased. As three patrol ships futilely chased behind, Lin Junbao remained lost in thought. Gao Liansheng asked, "What are you thinking about? They cannot catch up with us."

Two more green lights appeared on the scanner, chasing the red dot that represented the landing craft

He casually typed on the keyboard and transferred the radar-displayed data into the database. In no time, it was displayed on the screen.

Two energy projectiles streaked across the fuselage, narrowly missing Lynch Yu's mecha ship. If it weren't for his sudden roll, the crossfire of energy projectiles would have hit him.

Chen Baiji is the operator, while also taking on a multitude of responsibilities such as radar and defense shield operations. This exploration spacecraft has a small crew, and everyone must perform multiple roles.

Still, Lin Qiyong was decisive. He said, "We'll try to attract several mecha warships, bring them close to the mothership, and let Grandpa deal with them."

Linyu Lin was overjoyed and shouted, "Wow! Big brother, you keep your word. Grandma, did you hear that? Big brother said he will give me a mecha ship!"

The speed of the mecha ship in space is extremely terrifying. In the blink of an eye, Lin Qiuyu's mecha ship arrived in front of the opponent. He roared and pressed the firing button, but the opponent agilely dodged upwards, causing a string of energy bullets to miss.

Lin Qiyu desperately clutched the control stick, as the mecha ship rolled through the air, unable to stabilize it. After the wings were damaged, the stabilization system of the mecha ship was compromised

Zhong Beiwen shouted anxiously: "Lao Gao, quickly save Xiao Yu!"

The old lady was furious, repeatedly saying: "If something happens to Xiaoyuer, how am I supposed to explain it to my son!"

In the distance, five mecha ships clearly began to accelerate, but there is still a considerable distance to cover to reach here

Lin Junbao was left with no choice after being scolded by his partner, constantly signaling with his eyes, hoping to have Gao Liansheng come to his rescue

... ... interstellar heavy patrol ship ... ... not part of the federal police patrol ship sequence ... ... belongs to a smuggling modified vessel ... ...

The power engine of the Silver Leopard exploration spacecraft has been modified, making it significantly faster than heavy patrol ships. Once the acceleration is activated, the three patrol ships behind will be unable to catch up.

... ... possible owners ... ... interstellar pirates ... ... interstellar mercenaries ... ... smuggling groups ... ...

Little did he know that Gao Liansheng was even more afraid of Zhong Beiwen. Seizing the opportunity, he said, "I will head to the command center immediately. These people will not let us off easily; they actually have mecha ships equipped with military configurations. The situation is not simple." After saying this, he turned around and ran away

The landing craft accelerated its flight. Lin Qiyu looked around, scanning the five green dots still displayed on the monitor, yet he could not find any trace of the mecha ship in sight. He understood that as long as the landing craft left the atmosphere, they would have a great chance of escaping.

Lin Qiyu gasped heavily, his hands trembling uncontrollably. With a body that had not undergone evolution, enduring such intense mecha ship combat was truly challenging. This level of concentrated mental focus in piloting is demanding not only for those who have not evolved, but even for those who have undergone evolution.

Lynch Yu was filled with hatred towards the mech ship before him, and he suddenly pressed the launch button, indiscriminately firing energy projectiles.

He is like a newborn calf that is not afraid of tigers; he has practiced one-on-one, one-on-two, and even one-on-three scenarios on the simulator, but he has never faced six mecha ships, which is an impossible victory.

Lynch Yong accelerated with all his might while loudly cheering, "Xiao Yu, well done! If you can return safely, I will give you my mecha ship!"

A series of beautiful movements successfully captured the attention of the pilot with a high consecutive win.

Lynch couldn't help but exclaim, "You should be more careful with my mecha ship, humph! Ouch!" He was suddenly slapped on the head by his grandmother.

Gao Liansheng launched a missile, aiming to drive away that mecha ship. At the same time, he called for the landing craft to rescue Xiaoyu.

No one expected Lin Qiyu to be so formidable, effortlessly shooting down two mecha ships

The people on the landing craft clearly saw this scene, and Zhong Beiwen nervously grasped the armrest of the chair, exclaiming: "Jun Bao, quickly save Yu Er!"

The smile on his face had not yet fully blossomed when a sudden alarm rang out urgently. A thought flashed through his mind: that is impossible. Suddenly, a burst of red light shone before him, and his consciousness instantly vanished

Except for Zhong Beiwen, Ke Zhenfeng, and Lin Qiyu, who do not need to prepare, everyone else immediately returned to their posts. Lin Qiyong and Lin Qimeng also descended to the cabin, sitting in the mecha ship, ready to launch at any moment

After launching the missile, he immediately flipped the aircraft, but it was already too late. The energy projectile fired from the side mech ship grazed his wing, tearing a chunk off it

Zhong Beiwen felt a bit relieved, as she had not expected that Xiaoyuer was so formidable, capable of single-handedly shooting down two mecha ships. She said: "Yuer, be careful, you must not take risks, hurry up and catch up with us". She still felt somewhat uneasy.

The missile shot out suddenly accelerated. The pilot did not expect the missile to be so peculiar; he abruptly pressed down on the control stick, and the mecha ship dove down like a meteor. He secretly felt pleased, thinking that with such technology, the missile could never hit him.

Lynch Yu redirected the mecha ship to pursue, shouting: "Elder brother, you all hurry and leave!"

The landing craft briefly leveled off before raising its nose once again

Two mecha ships finally sprang into action, with one maneuvering behind the landing craft, intending to attack and force it to make an emergency landing, while the other positioned itself in front of the landing craft, attempting to block its path.

Upon boarding the landing craft, Lynch Yong immediately understood his brother's intention. He said, "Xiao Yu, be careful..."

A pungent burnt smell emanated from Lin Qiyu's cockpit. Although he felt dizzy and disoriented, he still gripped the control stick tightly. In that moment, his willpower and courage surged forth, and he had no other thoughts in his mind, only one idea: to protect the mecha ship, which was a gift promised by his elder brother

Gao Liansheng was very familiar with the temper of the old officer. He said, "Leopard, we are in big trouble, look!" He changed the subject and pointed at the large screen.

Gao Liansheng is indeed a master among masters, a renowned expert in mecha ship combat within the military. Even if the opponent were to send three more mecha ships, they would still not be his match

The pilot of that mecha ship was careless; he attempted to evade the missile's tracking using his usual control methods, and the outcome was predictable. By the time he realized something was wrong, the missile had already caught up with him. A burst of flames flickered, and the mecha ship was blown to pieces

Seeing the silver mech ship of Gao Liansheng, Lin Qiyu couldn't help but want to shout. He felt extremely distressed, thinking that if he could hold on for just one more minute, the mech ship could have been saved. This was his very first mech ship.

Once the shot was fired, the stealth capabilities of the mech ship vanished. Lin Qiyu hurriedly switched modes, activated the energy shield, and simultaneously flew outward

The mecha ship was propelled forward by inertia, and the rolling body made Lin Qiyu feel dizzy. Although the balance command had been input, the mecha ship continued to roll uncontrollably.

Lynch Yu was startled awake at the moment the spaceship accelerated, and as soon as he opened his eyes, he saw his grandmother's concerned gaze

Tan Hu and Chen Baiji quickly ran to the command cabin

Zhong Beiwen looked at the display on the scanner and exclaimed, "Yuer, come back quickly!" It is no joke; facing one against five, even Gao Liansheng cannot be certain of victory.

Lin Junbao could not understand why there was a police patrol ship here. He said, "Help me connect with them and see who they are."

She gently stroked Xiao Yuer's head and said softly: "Yuer, Grandma won't scold you, but you mustn't run out like this in the future, it would worry Grandma to death"

Lynch Yu tightly gripped the control stick, unsure of where his courage came from, and began to shout incoherently as he reached out to press the firing button

Lin Junbao sneered, "Well, well, two heavy patrol ships!" He glanced at Gao Liansheng, his eyes revealing a sense of inquiry.

He hurriedly closed his eyes and said, "Grandma, please don't scold me..." As he spoke, he covered his ears with both hands

Lynch exclaimed: "Look!"

Lin Qiyu felt sore all over, unable to even walk. He was unaware that the slight fissure had already harmed his fragile body. He was carried in by Lin Qiyong.

In space, the combat between mecha ships becomes more intense, as there is no atmospheric air resistance, allowing the mecha ships to move at greater speeds

The armor he is wearing can protect him in space for a maximum of half an hour; if no one comes to rescue him, he is doomed to die

This stealth device is not a standard configuration for military mecha ships; it was later modified by Lynch Yong. Ordinary mecha ships are unable to achieve stealth.
