Chapter 687: Remove the Turtle’s Shell

Dong Fang stared at the virtual screen in front of him with an extremely gloomy expression. He felt that he had never been so conflicted in his life.

“Damn, Chu Nan, you idiot! You want me to fire at you? How can I give this order?!”

While cursing wildly in his mind, Dong Fang turned to ask Uncle Mueller beside him, “Are those pirates still not responding?”

Uncle Mueller smiled bitterly and shook his head.

“We’ve already sent three surrender declarations in a row. The other party doesn’t respond at all.”

“Damn!” Dong Fang could not help but kick the table in front of him fiercely, “Are these pirates crazy? Don’t they want the ransom anymore?”

“Perhaps… the person who hired them paid a higher price and asked them to kill us,” Uncle Mueller pondered and said, “Otherwise, according to the ordinary rules, they wouldn’t have not even asked about the price of the ransom.”

“I don’t believe the Sand Eagle people will do such a thing.” Dong Fang shook his head with a dark expression, “This is not in their interests. What’s in it for them to kill all of us who came from the Earth Federation?”

Uncle Mueller helplessly spread out his hands, “There’s insufficient information and I can’t make a judgment.” After saying that, he pointed at the virtual screen in front of Dong Fang, “Now is not the time to discuss this. Chu Nan has already sent a signal. You have to decide what we have to do as soon as possible. Otherwise, he’ll probably be unable to hold on before us.”

Dong Fang’s expression sank again.

The reason why he changed the topic was to avoid this choice.

However, he also knew that this choice could not be avoided, and he had to make the choice as soon as possible.

Now, Chu Nan had already taken an extremely huge risk to board the enemy’s battleship and sent an obvious signal. If he did not make good use of it, their only chance of escaping might be severed.

However, if it was really as Chu Nan had said and fired at him… could he survive?

Dong Fang stared at the extremely bright signal symbol on the virtual screen. Countless time fragments from his year and a half with Chu Nan flashed through his mind, as well as Chu Nan’s rapid growth in the past year after they left Star Cloud Academy. In the end, it transformed into a smiling face.

“Heh, Dong Fang, when have you ever seen me do anything I’m not confident in?”

Chu Nan’s proud and mocking face flashed through Dong Fang’s mind. He took a deep breath and slapped the table in front of him before ordering in a low voice.

“Pass down the order to fire at the location of the signal!”

…

When he saw several white light spots suddenly light up in the Cosmic Realm about two light-seconds away and quickly shoot over, turning into several bright white beams, Chu Nan was immediately overjoyed.

Ha, Dong Fang was not a wishy-washy guy in the end. In the end, he still chose to believe him.

Chu Nan had already calculated the time when these particle beams arrived in a millionth of a second. The palm that was pressed on the energy shield instantly erupted with a powerful Internal Breath and mobilized the spatial energy and the energy in the energy shield in the surrounding space.

The energy shield that enveloped the entire battleship suddenly erupted with a strange seven-colored light before disappearing.

Compared to the last time, Chu Nan had the experience of dealing with the battleship’s energy shield. Coupled with the improvement in his Internal Breath usage, it was even easier for him to remove the battleship’s energy shield with one hand.

The last time, he had only greatly weakened the energy shield, but this time, he completely slapped it away, causing this battleship to instantly change from a big guy protected by a thick turtle shell to an unguarded naked state after its shell was completely removed.

In the next moment, under the guidance of Chu Nan’s location signal, several particle beams fired by the Seres Security Company’s fleet accurately struck the medium-sized battleship under him.

At the same time, the attacks of the other cosmic pirate battleships were originally aimed at Chu Nan. Now that the energy shield had suddenly disappeared, these attacks unsurprisingly struck the battleship.

Under the joint attack of the enemy and his companions, this medium-sized battleship instantly exploded into a huge fireball. The entire body of the battleship completely disintegrated. Clearly, it was damaged beyond repair.

The moment before several particle beams struck the battleship, Chu Nan had already turned off the signal positioning device. He turned around and jumped into the ultra-small spaceship. He instantly started the engine and barely escaped the explosion range.

With the high speed and super dexterity of the super mini spaceship, Chu Nan quietly arrived beside the battleship of the other cosmic pirate closest to him.

Just like before, he jumped out of the super mini spaceship and quickly approached the energy shield. He spread out his palm and activated his Internal Breath to quickly investigate the characteristics of this energy shield. Then, he opened the location signal device in his personal terminal again.

This time, the Seres Security Company did not waste time like the last time. Almost the moment Chu Nan opened the location signal, a few beams of light shot over from the distant universe.

1.7 seconds later, when the energy shield of the battleship under Chu Nan’s palm transformed into a ball of strange light and disappeared, these particle beams happened to arrive. The moment the shield disappeared, they instantly penetrated the entire battleship.

Although the damage to this battleship was not that exaggerated because it did not have the “help” of those cosmic pirates, a few large holes penetrated by the particle beam were still enough to completely incapacitate this battleship.

Chu Nan perfectly implemented the principle of “real men never look back at explosions”. While slapping away the energy shield, he had already coolly turned around and flew back to the super mini spaceship before flying towards the next enemy battleship.

At this moment, Chu Nan had actually long lost his advantage in hiding.

After losing two battleships in a row because of him, these cosmic pirates had clearly noticed him. A particle beam that was much denser than before, and even an antimatter missile, flew straight towards the super mini spaceship he was piloting.

However, with his powerful data ability, Chu Nan could easily take in all the surrounding situations. Then, he analyzed the safest path to advance in an extremely short period of time and piloted the super-miniature spaceship to sway left and right in the dense particle beams. It looked like a small boat that had fallen into a huge sea wave, but it could actually maintain its calm.

Before long, Chu Nan flew to another even larger battleship.

Although this battleship was much larger than the previous two destroyed battleships, when Chu Nan flew to the side and used his Internal Breath to investigate the energy shield outside, he discovered that the strength of this huge battleship’s energy shield was inferior to the two smaller battleships.

“Perhaps it’s because the model is too old?” Chu Nan muttered in his mind.

Due to the difference in the strength of the energy shield and its characteristics, Chu Nan had no choice but to spend some time analyzing it again.

Of course, this so-called “spent a little more time” was actually less than half a minute.

In this half a minute, the battleships of the other cosmic pirates desperately attacked Chu Nan and tried to kill him. However, he easily dodged them and could only cause light to appear on the energy shield of the huge battleship, weakening the strength of the shield.

Half a minute later, Chu Nan completed his analysis and opened the signal positioning device again.
