Chapter 70 Counterattack (4/5)
Kober and Hu Zhou looked at each other in bewilderment.
For a brief moment, the two of them thought they were hallucinating.
Who did you say called?
Arbitrator and White Princess?
what?
Didn't they already run away from the distant galaxy?
Now you're telling me they ran away and came to our Chengmingxing Branch?
Fortunately, over the past six months, their minds have become as resilient as steel, and they quickly recovered from the shock of the news.
Kopper slammed his hand on his desk, practically shouting the order: "Prepare for an attack!"
Hu Zhou yanked off his black-rimmed glasses: "Chief, I'll go organize the personnel!"
The once quiet and reserved Chengming Star Branch began to come alive, like a sleeping beast gradually awakening, or like a pot of oil gradually boiling.
All personnel on leave received a message and were urgently summoned back to the branch office. The branch office building was bustling with people, and a large number of instructions were being relayed through the ranks, putting the office into a state of combat readiness.
One by one, the main battle starships took off from the depths of the landing port, and the weapons deployed on the surface and near-Earth orbit of Chengming Star were activated.
Kober and Hu Zhou have arrived at the command center located at the core of the underground facility.
The precision instruments were started and put into operation, and the staff took their positions.
On the platform in the center of the command room, Ke Bo and Hu Zhou stood side by side.
The large screen directly in front of them displays images transmitted from space back to the Chengming Star Branch. The figure moving at high speed in the center of the image is the "Judge," a cyborg and agent of the Purge Bureau.
A single-person starship followed closely behind the Arbiter, its hull studded with countless white bones.
"This is indeed Bai Ji's starship. I saw the footage when I was investigating the Mirror Gallery Puppet Incident."
Hu Zhou tried his best to suppress his emotions, but his voice still betrayed his excitement.
When Hu Zhou first heard the news that the entire [Cracks] transport fleet had been wiped out, he locked himself in his room for most of the day.
Five members of the "Worker Bee" special operations team were on the main ship of the fleet responsible for transporting the "Ironclad Metal Box" to the Farlight Star branch, completing its containment, and then returning.
Over the years of containing anomalies and fighting against hostile organizations, Hu Zhou had long since become indifferent to his own life and death.
Before arriving at Chengming Star after receiving the mission, he was mentally prepared to sacrifice himself in this top-secret mission.
Many of the members of the worker bee action team were like him, almost disregarding their own lives, and resolutely set off for Chengming Star after leaving their wills.
But Hu Zhou never expected that the biggest loss to the Worker Bee Action Team in the past six months was not that suspected end-level anomaly, but a damned interstellar wanted criminal.
"The Arbiter—"
Hu Zhou stared at the figure in the video, clenching his teeth.
He had initially thought that the guy had fled to another star system, and that the Worker Bees' hopes of taking revenge on him were almost slim.
But now, instead of fleeing, his enemy is flying straight towards the Chengming Star Branch at full speed.
What's the difference between this and walking right into a trap?
It was as if the gods had heard his heart's desire and had prepared a surprise gift for him.
If he can't make the arbitrators pay for their crimes in blood, how can Hu Zhou face his five fallen comrades and the other Bureau colleagues who died in the attack?
"Just you wait, if I don't blast you to smithereens today, I'll twist my head off and let Xiao Cheng kick it around like a football!"
The other members of the worker bee action team present sensed their captain's determination and quickened the pace of relaying instructions.
Not only Hu Zhou, but other worker bee team members also regarded the Arbitrator who harmed their comrades as their mortal enemy.
The entire command center seemed to be engulfed in an invisible flame, determined to burn the cyborgs in space to ashes.
"Tch, got caught? You were pretty quick."
The adjudicator curled his lip, his face full of disdain.
The bright star magnified in his field of vision. He could vaguely see a large number of spaceships flying towards him from the bright star.
"Although I hate old man Cobb to the core, we both have to admit that among the people in the Bureau of Anomalies, young Cobb was one of the most difficult to deal with."
Bai Ji's voice rang in his ears. The Arbitrator spat but did not refute.
"Tsk, even as an old man, he's still just as troublesome."
As the two were talking, the first batch of unmanned ships that flew out from Chengming Star had already arrived in front of them.
The ships resembled ghostly skeletons in the shape of dolphins. The main hull was pieced together from discontinuous pieces of silvery-white metal, looking like interlocking bone joints.
Three pairs of bridge wings pierce out from both sides of the spine, with nerve-like quantum tendrils hanging from the ends of the wing bones. The translucent tendrils split into tree-like structures at their tips, drawing in the invisible tidal energy of outer space.
The bow is equipped with a seven-layer nested hexagonal rotating mirror, and the built-in crystallization matrix begins to generate a flow of negative energy, which is also the ship's main means of destruction.
The skeleton is wrapped in a light blue quantum entanglement-based defense network, which looks like layers of shrouds.
"The Skeleton-class quantum destroyer? Has old man Kopper just pulled out all the stops?"
In the judge's mind, the ship in front of him was basically top-of-the-line at the level of the Anomaly Management Bureau's star system branch; it was no exaggeration to say it was their most valuable asset.
"Let's stick to the original plan. I'll draw your fire in space, and you go down to the surface of Chengming Star to deal with old man Kober!"
"no problem."
On the surface of the starship Bai Ji was riding, the various shapes of white bones began to shimmer with a pale white light. Under the illumination of this light, the ship gradually became transparent, as if it had completely dissolved into the universe.
These skeletons are not merely decorations, but also concealment devices that Hakuhime modified at great expense.
It was with this device that she was able to sneak into the Mirror Corridor undetected and commit a bloody crime that shocked the galaxy.
Upon seeing his companion disappear, the Arbiter burst into laughter.
"Come on, it's just a Ghost-class quantum destroyer. I've taken it apart before!"
The arbiter's mechanical pupil shrank into a rhombus shape, splitting into six scarlet compound eyes within its eye socket.
A hissing sound came from his cervical spine as the hydraulic rods stretched out, and the three alloy vertebrae pierced through his trench coat, elevating his body to five meters.
The skin on one side of the body began to turn lead gray, the cooling pipes under the skin glowed blue, and the mechanical body on the other side emitted a deep roar as it operated at full power.
The skin on his left arm slid open like Venetian blinds, revealing a honeycomb-shaped miniature missile launcher.
At the end of the right arm's robotic hand, countless parts are disassembled and reassembled under the precise action of magnetic force, forming a three-meter-long metal fist with a built-in curvature engine.
Several streams of negative energy erupted from the bow of the destroyer. The Arbiter, undaunted, laughed wildly and threw a heavy punch, propelling itself forward at high speed with the aid of its thrusters.
Meanwhile, Bai Ji's starship circled in an arc and was quietly approaching the surface of Chengming Star.
