Chapter 40

Fine, even if it's not Tier 1, it's still just a scout ship!

How much combat experience can you expect a scout ship to have?

Could it be...

That he is double-bound?

Yes!

It must be that!!!

Liu Liu Yuyu and the others instantly confirmed this guess.

Whether it was a guess or not.

They could think about that later.

They were in the middle of a war; there was no heart to think about other things.

With the Bright charging in front, it basically attracted at least fifty percent of the firepower for them.

Their pressure suddenly plummeted, and they also began to increase their horsepower, following closely behind the Bright to charge.

Ahead.

Xu Zi'an was fully focused on piloting the Bright, moving leisurely through the sky-filling hail of bullets.

Compared to the intensity in the star-warfare simulations...

This was far inferior.

The Alien races and Insectoids in the star-warfare simulations.

Every single one of them was truly battle-hardened.

And their starships were extremely powerful; their comprehensive combat capability far exceeded these interstellar pirates.

Suddenly, an enemy low-level biological scout ship revealed a gap!

Xu Zi'an knew the real opportunity to break through the line had arrived.

Without hesitation, in less than a fraction of a second, he instantly adjusted the attack angles of his main and secondary guns, aiming purely by combat instinct—

'Whoosh—'

A pulse-piercing warhead punched through the enemy's energy shield with almost no resistance, then punched through their cockpit!

Before the energy shield could even manage to patch the puncture point, several high-explosive shells from the secondary guns followed, exploding inside the enemy's cockpit!

The cockpit was instantly filled with the high-explosive blast power and the countless shrapnel inside the warheads; this biological captain died instantly, beyond any hope of survival!

Even if he was wearing ultra-heavy space armor, it didn't matter; in the face of several high-explosive warheads of this caliber, no armor was of any use.

Perhaps it wouldn't pierce his armor, but the shockwave alone would be enough to turn him into meat paste inside the armor!

A low-level warrior...

Could not possibly have high physical defense capabilities.

In the blink of an eye, he had taken out this starship, and a huge gap appeared in the sky-filling barrage.

Xu Zi'an immediately maneuvered the Bright through this gap, and before the enemy could react, he finally charged into the asteroid belt.

Entering the asteroid belt meant he finally had the capital to maneuver against the opponent.

The opponent could hide behind asteroids, and so could he.

The Bright's charge into the asteroid belt gave the enemy a fright, and they scrambled to turn their guns to attack Xu Zi'an.

The pressure on the Long Cloud and the other two starships plummeted again; seizing this opportunity, they didn't care about the depletion of their shields and gritted their teeth to follow into the asteroid belt.

"Report, right-flank raid complete, right-flank squad has successfully entered the asteroid belt and will engage the enemy in face-to-face combat!"

Liu Liu Yuyu's report, filled with relief, followed.

She was indeed relieved.

The resistance of energy shields had its limits.

If they had been a moment later...

The energy shields would likely have been shattered, and it would take at least an hour to recover, which was equivalent to having no shields at all.

Relying purely on the hull's armor and strength to fight the enemy... would be a huge disadvantage!

Because in such a situation, any random attack from the enemy could lead to major damage to the starship.

Fortunately... the Bright had attracted the vast majority of the firepower and broken into the asteroid belt.

"Where on earth did this Bright come from!"

Behind, in the chubby captain's cockpit, the man swallowed hard.

He suddenly gave a bitter smile; he had looked down on them?

Thinking about it now, he felt like a clown.

This wasn't the time to think about that; he took a deep breath and began to focus entirely on the battle.

Having entered the asteroid belt, Xu Zi'an, who now also had asteroids as cover.

Felt as excited as if he had returned home.

In star-warfare simulations, what kind of situation hadn't he experienced?

When fighting the Alien races and the Insectoids.

There were also asteroid belts nearby.

The reason he could take out enemies with strength several times his own wasn't just his star-warfare skills.

Utilizing the terrain was one of his habitual methods!

Asteroid belts were his favorite places to go.

First, the Bright's volume wasn't that large, making it more flexible and free in the asteroid belt.

Second, using asteroids to block high damage from the enemy and seizing the opportunity to counter-kill was also Xu Zi'an's specialty.

This asteroid belt.

Although Xu Zi'an had never been here before.

But!

Watching him slip and slide, dodging left and right, using asteroids for defense, evasion, counter-attacking, and even counter-killing.

The whole sequence of moves left people dumbfounded; his familiarity with fighting in an asteroid belt made one wonder if he had grown up in this very belt!

Even the pirates on the other side were a bit bewildered...

Why did it feel like this person was more familiar with the terrain here than they were?

More knowledgeable about how to fight in an asteroid belt than they were!

What kind of monster is this starship!

The most absurd thing is...

This starship has another rather bizarre trait: not only can their detection radar not detect the opponent, but...

The locking radar actually can't lock onto the opponent either!

If they want to hit the opponent, they have to aim manually; they can't rely on the locking radar to aim!

They were used to fighting with locking radar.

Now, suddenly having to aim with the naked eye...

The discomfort was indescribable.

One starship after another was taken out by this bizarre starship.

And the opponent specifically targeted biological starships, not even glancing at the mechanical ones!

Isn't that...

Now this starship of unknown level is chasing after an intermediate biological scout ship and beating it up!

Beating that intermediate biological scout ship until its rear was smoking and it was fleeing in panic.

Once again, Liu Liu Yuyu and the others were left dumbfounded.

A low-level scout ship chasing an intermediate scout ship and beating it until it was fleeing in terror?

I really want to know...

This Bright.

What kind of monster is it!

This Xu Zi'an...

What kind of monster is he! ===== CHAPTER 85 =====
