Stellar Hunter Nation 018 Energy Cannon

  It started with the cannibal tribe throwing stones, and it wasn't until the fifth segment of the cannibal warrior's successful sneak attack that it took less than half an hour. The reversal was so great in such a short period of time that it was hard to imagine.

  Wu Chang was still staring at the cheering cannibals in a daze when a faint voice suddenly came from behind him, "Quickly, get out now and grab the land rover..."

  Turning back to look, it was the dirty old man Lain who was speaking. He had apparently woken up from the explosion earlier. The old man seemed to know what Wu Chang wanted to ask and spoke on his own initiative.

  "This impact wave is nothing to me, I've experienced many stronger ones before and have long since gotten used to it."

  "This is no time for chatting, hurry up and get out, don't let those cannibals destroy the land vehicles, we need these cars to escape with our lives, there's not much time left..."

  "Is time running out? What's going to happen?" Wu Chang pushed the boulders with all his might, but still didn't forget to ask.

  "Don't ask, no time to explain," said the old man, who then went around and slapped those unconscious guys awake one by one. "Wake up, hurry up and wake up, if you want to live don't sleep..."

  In a short while, Wu Chang had managed to push open a gap large enough for people to pass through. As he crawled out, he found that over a hundred members of the Man-Eating Tribe had already gathered in the surrounding 50-acre expanse of rubble.

  "Never mind these cannibals, they want to celebrate their victory, this group of savages won't be done until they've made a big fuss for half the day."

  "Will they eat me?" asked Wu Chang cautiously.

  "How did I know? I just knew that if you didn't rush to grab the train, we would all be dead soon"

  Wu Chang stopped talking and looked around at the increasingly gathering cannibals, gritted his teeth, pulled up his legs and ran straight to where the land rover had crashed.

  Old man Lain's analysis was correct, the cannibal tribe really had a habit of celebrating victories. This time, the cannibal tribe annihilated an entire battalion of soldiers, which is already considered a significant victory in the cannibal tribe's war history. Thousands of cannibals emerged from the depths of the stone forest, chirping and screaming as they gathered on the battlefield.

  He rushed forward with a hard head, and unexpectedly, although the cannibals looked at him with astonished eyes, none of them had any intention of attacking.

  Under the gaze of thousands of cannibals, Wu Chang ran to the crash site. He had also followed Old Man Pan to work on several engineering machinery projects, and was not unfamiliar with the operation of land vehicles, the only complex thing being the weapon system above.

  The frantic and unpredictable launch of a land vehicle opened up the dense phalanx of the beehive's strike bay, and when 84 black holes revealed their true form, thousands of cannibalistic creatures on the ground went mad.

  The cannibals are too familiar with the dense formation of bee clusters, and they have a natural fear of these densely packed sheaths. Some of the cannibals subconsciously pick up stones, looking like they're about to attack at any moment.

  "Shut it off, shut off that orange button with the skull symbol! Are you trying to kill us?" The voice of Old Man Laine came from the ground. It wasn't until then that Wu Chang found the strange switch.

  After the warehouse was closed, the cannibals on the ground finally calmed down.

  The team had a total of six members, so they needed three good land vehicles. Fortunately, the cannibals just now put all their anger on the soldiers and didn't have much interest in these iron things, which allowed the team to find three relatively intact land vehicles.

  "Start, let's run quickly, head south, the farther the better..." Laine didn't explain to everyone either, and led Boss Pan in a land rover rushing south.

  The appearance of the land vehicle is somewhat similar to a familiar motorcycle, except that the two wheel positions have been replaced with anti-gravity devices. It is by means of this device that the land vehicle can float on the ground.

  Although Wu Chang didn't have any driving experience, he gave up the front seat to Ai Lin and sat in the back. Ai Lin let out a loud whoop and said "Cao, I've always dreamed of speeding with a military off-road vehicle, today is my lucky day! Hold on tight, kid, I'll show you what speed really means..."

  The words had not been spoken yet, but Lu Xingche was already like an arrow shot from a bow, shooting out. If it weren't for Wu Chang's strong waist and leg skills, using his thighs to clamp down on the horse's head in time, perhaps he would have thrown Ailin off.

  In no time, Aileen's land yacht was neck and neck with Laine's. Behind them, Badger Pike was hot on their heels in his rugged bull-drawn carriage, the bull looking rather disgruntled at being left behind and urging Badger Pike on.

  "Trash, hurry up, you can't even drift, and you can't even eat shit while it's hot..."

  "Shut up, they've taken away the good cars, ours has problems..."

  "Your crap has a problem, I think it's just your stinky hands."

  Ignoring the quarreling duo behind him, he hugged Eileen's waist and asked Ryan beside him, "Why are we running? What are we hiding from?"

  Mr. Pan, sitting behind Lane, tilted his head to avoid the strong wind blowing into his mouth and shouted loudly "We are dodging the ship's cannon, avoiding the attack of the space orbiting warship's cannon..."

  "What's going on? Speak louder, I can't hear you..."

  The speed of the land vehicle has already reached 60 pulses, and the wind resistance is very large. It's hard to even open your mouth to breathe, let alone speak. However, Boss Pan still shouted to help Wu Chang dispel his doubts.

  "Planetary orbit warships, like satellites, rotate around the planet and are the lowest level of spacecraft. Purely space defense warships. There are only two in our solar system..."

  "Ye Tian lost a squadron of brothers, he must gather the fleet's guns to avenge them. Of course, he didn't have the right to directly command the space fleet, the orbital battleship was under the Governor's control..."

  "But today a whole squadron was wiped out, this loss is too heavy, the Governor will be furious, he will definitely not refute Ye Tian's application, just wait and see, those few thousand cannibals are definitely going to die..."

  In Mr. Pan's explanation, Wu Chang learned that above the thick volcanic clouds of Huang E Star, in low orbit, there were two orbital warships wandering around. This was the most powerful armed force of Huang E Star, and the energy cannons on it could destroy half of Huang E City with just one shot, or blast open the outer shell of a dead volcano, making it an active volcano.

  The energy cannon's power is boundless, but the cost is really too expensive. The energy consumption cost of a single shot has reached 800 rainbow coins, not to mention depreciation, maintenance and other expenses. If labor costs and gray income are added, then at least 1600 rainbow coins will be consumed for one energy cannon shell.

  This price is already unimaginable for the miners, 160,000 gold coins are equivalent to 1,600 rainbow coins, and also equivalent to 16 liquid silver coins. What? You ask me what liquid silver coins look like? Cāo, how would I know.

  Liquidsilver coins are on Huang E Star, that's the legendary currency, not something ordinary miners can imagine, even Pan Boss and Tu Lang Sai Wen may not have a few.

  War is indeed a money-burning machine, whether it's on Earth or in this future world, the situation where one shell is equivalent to a lifetime salary of an ordinary worker exists everywhere.

  "In half an hour, we can run as far as we can, the farther the safer...” In Mr. Pan's shouting voice, a group of people had already run nearly 30 kilometers, and the scenery in the north was gradually becoming blurred, while in the south, everyone faintly heard the sound of the sea tide."

  At this moment, the light between heaven and earth shook for a moment, and the thick volcanic clouds in the sky that had not changed for thousands of years suddenly emitted a strange glow. Although the light flashed by, Laine knew what it represented.

  Nor did he know what he was thinking, but he actually stopped the land rover on top of a stone pillar. The old man gazed at the northern sky and said softly, "No need to run, Yu Chang, come over, you should take a look at this miracle..."

  The strange phenomenon in the sky seemed to be coordinating with Lain's acting, and the volcanic cloud in the north suddenly brightened up. In the blink of an eye, a huge void rolled out and appeared in the sky.

  It's impossible to describe the size of that cavern, and even thirty kilometers away, people can still feel its astonishing vastness, enough to swallow the entire city of Huangyuan.

  Before the astonishment of nothingness had subsided, a holy white light pillar suddenly descended vertically from the sky. Perhaps due to the angle or distance, the light pillar slowly pierced through space and landed on the ground.

  It's just an illusion, the so-called slowness is only one's own misconception. The speed of light-based weapons is equivalent to the speed of light. In fact, by the time the shockwave expands and opens up a hole in the clouds, the explosion has already occurred on the ground.

  In the eyes of the crowd, the towering stone forest was like a raging wind sweeping through a reed marsh, and the four or five people who hugged the stone pillars instantly turned into dust in the air. A huge explosion crater with a diameter of up to ten kilometers appeared on the ground, and the shockwave destroyed everything within this ten-kilometer range, even melting rocks at high temperatures, turning them into the most common lava on Huangyexing.

  "Those cannibals must have all died out, there were almost two thousand of them when we left...". For some reason, a hint of sadness was brought out by this sentence.

  The words were not yet out of his mouth when a strong gust of wind hit him in the face, that was the shockwave from the explosion 30 kilometers away. Although this force no longer had any lethal power, people could still feel the power contained within it.

  After the strong wind passed, Laine suddenly said in a strange tone, "What did you just say? I feel like you're sympathizing with the cannibal tribe?"

  "Is there? I didn't feel anything!" Wu Chang hastily refuted.

  At this time, Boss Pan also spoke up, "You're absolutely strange and unpredictable. Just now when you opened the beehive warehouse, those cannibals wanted to throw stones at you..." Boss Pan paused slightly here.

  "But I clearly saw that those high-level cannibal warriors were stopping their own kind on the ground, as if they weren't worried you'd hurt them at all, as if they were intentionally protecting you..."

  "Is it really you, Ghost of Impermanence?"

  Mr. Pan's words reminded everyone present, even the not-so-bright guys like Manchu and Paik, that something was off about this small group of people since they encountered the cannibal tribe.

  "The cannibals not only didn't harm us, but also saved our lives and even gave us food? Laine, don't mention herding, they didn't stop us when we were escaping" Ailin said with a frown "I'm afraid there's only one reasonable explanation now, Wuchang you little devil, you're actually a ghost..."

  "Right, you little devil is a ghost indeed!" The team members said in unison, making Wu Chang cry and laugh at the same time.
