Phi-Fic Chapter 675 A Thick Fog
Chapter 675 A Thick Fog
Lin Yu gripped the spaceship's control stick tightly, his eyes glued to the screen. As the spaceship ventured deeper into the galaxy shrouded in an eerie blue light, fine beads of sweat appeared on his palms. Beside him, Ellie was intently adjusting the instruments, trying to glean useful information from the chaotic signals, but her brow furrowed deeper and deeper.
“This energy field is too strange. It’s not only interfering with our equipment, but it’s also making space unstable,” Ellie said anxiously. “If this continues, our spaceship might be torn apart.” The spaceship was violently jolted in the energy field, the lights flickered, and the team members gripped the armrests of their seats tightly, trying to maintain their balance.
Just then, a large number of unidentified objects suddenly appeared on the spaceship's radar screen, rapidly approaching them. "Attention, unidentified objects approaching!" Lin Yu shouted, quickly activating the weapon systems. As the unidentified objects drew closer, the group finally saw clearly that they were a group of crystalline creatures emitting a ghostly glow. They varied in shape, some resembling sharp spears, others like twisted vines, their surfaces shimmering with a cold blue light, blending seamlessly with the surrounding eerie energy field.
"These creatures look dangerous, everyone be careful!" Lin Yu's words had barely left his lips when the crystalline creatures launched their attack. Sharp energy spikes shot from their bodies, raining down on the spaceship. Lin Yu swiftly maneuvered the ship to dodge, the energy spikes whistling as they grazed the hull. The team members retaliated, the ship's weapon systems unleashing beams of energy that struck several crystalline creatures, shattering them into pieces.
However, the crystalline creatures were numerous and swarmed forward relentlessly. A small escort ship was unable to dodge in time and was struck by multiple energy spikes, its shield shattering instantly and cracks appearing in its hull. "Quickly, rescue them!" Lin Yu immediately ordered, and a rescue ship quickly approached, lowered a tow rope, and pulled the damaged ship back to the fleet.
During the fierce battle, Lin Yu discovered that the crystalline creatures' actions seemed to be controlled by some kind of signal, their attacks executed with remarkable rhythm and coordination. "Ellie, find a way to disrupt their control signals!" Lin Yu shouted. Ellie quickly operated the instruments, emitting a series of interference waves. Sure enough, the crystalline creatures' movements became sluggish and chaotic, their attack rhythm disrupted.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lin Yu led the fleet to concentrate its firepower and launch a fierce attack on the crystalline creatures. Under the powerful firepower, the crystalline creatures were routed and disappeared into the blue light. Having eliminated the threat of the crystalline creatures, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but they knew that this was just a small episode in this mysterious star system.
The spaceship continued its journey, finally reaching the source of the mysterious signal. It was a massive planet, its surface covered with strange runes and luminous lines, resembling a giant energy matrix. As the spaceship approached the planet, a powerful gravitational field suddenly appeared, firmly pulling the spaceship in.
"Oh no, we're trapped by the gravitational field!" Lin Yu increased the spaceship's power, trying to break free from the gravitational pull, but the spaceship remained motionless. Ellie quickly analyzed the gravitational field data and discovered a connection between the runes and lines on the planet's surface and the gravitational field.
“Perhaps we can find a way to dispel the gravitational field by deciphering these runes,” Ellie said. Lin Yu nodded in agreement, and the two led their team to begin studying the runes on the planet's surface. After some effort, they discovered that these runes were an ancient energy language, recording the secrets of this galaxy.
In deciphering the runes, they learned that this star system was once an experimental ground for an ancient civilization. This civilization attempted to create entirely new life forms using a mysterious energy, but instead triggered a massive catastrophe, causing the energy to spiral out of control and forming the bizarre energy field and various strange creatures we see today. The mysterious signal is the final warning left by this civilization, cautioning outsiders not to approach.
Just as they were about to decipher the runes and find a way to dispel the gravitational field, the planet's surface suddenly underwent a violent change. The previously calm runes and lines began to flash with intense light, and an even more powerful energy fluctuation emanated from within the planet...
