Chapter 612 First Crisis in a Galaxy
The spaceship sped through the vast universe, leaving bright streaks of starlight in its wake. Lin Yu and his two companions sat in the cockpit, focused intently on the instrument panel and star map. After a long interstellar journey, they finally arrived at their target star system.
"We're about to enter the target area. Everyone, get ready," Lin Yu said calmly, his hands skillfully operating the spaceship's control panel. Ellie and Xiao Wang quickly checked the equipment they were responsible for, ensuring everything was functioning properly.
As the spaceship slowly entered the star system, the sight before them sent a chill down their spines. The star system, which should have been teeming with life, was now shrouded in an eerie, dark red mist. The stars had dimmed, and the surfaces of the planets were covered with a layer of black substance, as if corrupted by an evil force.
"Is this the source of the distress signal? The situation is worse than we thought." Ellie frowned, a hint of worry in her voice. She immediately activated the detection equipment, conducting a comprehensive scan of the surrounding environment.
"Strong energy fluctuations were detected. The frequency of these fluctuations is very unstable, like some kind of out-of-control energy being released wildly." Ellie looked at the test results with a solemn expression. Lin Yu nodded slightly. "Let's find a suitable planet to land on first and investigate it up close."
The spaceship glided slowly through the galaxy, avoiding dangerous energy turbulence and drifting interstellar debris. Finally, they discovered a relatively stable planet. Although it had also been affected by the disaster, some untouched areas remained on its surface.
As the spaceship landed on the planet's surface, a pungent odor assaulted the senses. The surrounding vegetation was an eerie black, as if charred. The ground was riddled with cracks, from which dark red smoke occasionally rose.
"Everyone be careful, this place is full of unknown dangers." Lin Yu held his weapon and cautiously observed his surroundings. They moved along a dry riverbed, trying to find traces of local life and understand the cause of the disaster.
Suddenly, Xiao Wang stopped and pointed ahead, shouting, "Look, what's that!" Everyone looked in the direction he was pointing and saw a huge black sphere floating in mid-air, surrounded by eerie halos of energy. Energy was constantly flowing across the surface of the sphere, as if it were accumulating some kind of powerful force.
"This thing looks dangerous. Let's get closer and observe it first, and don't act rashly." Lin Yu cautiously approached the sphere, while signaling Ellie and Xiao Wang to stay alert. As they got closer to the sphere, Ellie's detection device suddenly emitted a rapid alarm.
"Oh no! The energy fluctuations of this sphere are rising rapidly; it looks like it's about to explode!" Ellie shouted anxiously. Lin Yu was startled and was about to order a retreat when a group of mechanical creatures suddenly appeared around the sphere. These mechanical creatures had peculiar appearances, their bodies made of black metal, their eyes flashing red, and they wielded various weapons, rapidly approaching them.
"Looks like we've been targeted. Prepare for battle!" Lin Yu quickly raised his weapon and aimed at the leading mechanical creature. Xiao Wang and Ellie weren't to be outdone, and they opened fire as well. Laser beams intertwined in the darkness, illuminating the land shrouded in disaster.
The mechanical creatures were numerous and their attacks were extremely fierce. Lin Yu and the others dodged the attacks while searching for the mechanical creatures' weaknesses. Lin Yu discovered that the joints of these mechanical creatures were relatively vulnerable, so he concentrated his firepower on these parts.
Through their efforts, some mechanical creatures were successfully repelled. However, more mechanical creatures swarmed in from all directions, surrounding them completely. Meanwhile, the energy fluctuations of the black sphere suspended in the air grew increasingly violent, threatening to explode at any moment. In this desperate situation, besieged on all sides, could Lin Yu and his companions find a way to break free and escape their predicament?
