226: be cheated!

Lin Yang was quite shocked. Using a projected base to lure the opponent—could it be played like this?

“Answering the Host, the System’s simulated base projection is incredibly real; at least, the Aliens’ scans will absolutely not detect any flaws. By the time they discover the flaws, it will be too late for a perfect retreat, and they will inevitably suffer an attack from the base’s weapons!”

The System’s answer was filled with absolute confidence.

“So, you had me switch to an energy shield to hide the base before, just for this?” Lin Yang blinked.

“Yes, Host. Use the energy shield to hide the real base, then project a false base behind the real one. Once they lock onto the projected base and pass over the real base, you can activate the base’s weapon System to catch them off guard!”

“…” Lin Yang was numb.

He felt a bit of a tingle on his scalp.

Are battles between interstellar technological civilizations this exaggerated?

“System, are wars between advanced technological civilizations all this outrageous?” Lin Yang’s eyes widened slightly.

This method of luring the enemy was a bit heaven-defying!

“Answering the Host, this method can only be used in battles between civilizations with a one-level difference in technological strength. If the technological strength difference is not significant, the false projection can easily be seen through by the opponent’s reconnaissance System.”

The System explained again.

“This method of luring the enemy is not as powerful as you think, Host. After all, when there is a one-level difference in technological strength, a higher-level technological civilization has no need to lure; it can directly crush the opponent. It’s just that your current situation is a bit special.”

“Oh… alright, I understand.”

Lin Yang’s eyes flickered slightly; he understood the System’s meaning.

The System was probably relying on its own level being higher than the reconnaissance System of this interstellar hunter team, so it used the base projection to lure the opponent.

Very good, very powerful!

“Please note, Host, the enemy’s fleet will pass over the Ecological Base in three minutes.”

“Three minutes? It seems the opponent is still very cautious, slowing down a bit, seemingly approaching while probing.”

Lin Yang watched the enemy fleet’s movements through the monitoring screen.

The moon was not large, and at the speed of the opponent’s interstellar warships, if they went all out, they could reach the sky above the Ecological Base in the blink of an eye.

However, the opponent had slowed down, clearly conducting continuous probes.

Indeed, as the System had said before, caution was an essential quality for interstellar hunters.

The opponent was simply overly cautious!

Suddenly, the System prompted: “Host, the opponent is continuously scanning the entire moon and the projected base. The System has fed back false information. Please note, the opponent has sent a communication request. Do you wish to connect?”

“The opponent wants to talk to me?” Lin Yang was a bit surprised.

“Yes, the opponent’s main fleet is continuously transmitting communication signals.”

“Then do you think I need to connect?” Lin Yang countered.

“Answering the Host, the System suggests you directly ignore it. After all, you are not a real Alien, and once you communicate, a few words might expose some flaws to the opponent.”

“…Alright, then ignore it.” Lin Yang pouted.

“Okay, Host, communication requests have been blocked for you.”

“…”

Lin Yang stopped talking to the System and instead watched the time, ready to have Butler One activate the weapon System for attack at any moment.

At the same time, inside the main ship.

Solo looked at the scan report, his eyes narrowed slightly: “This refugee actually ignores our communication request. Hmph, pretending to be profound!”

After speaking, he glanced again at the latest scan feedback report and said coldly: “I originally wanted to probe his background further, but since he ignores us, we will attack directly!”

Solo’s eyes became incredibly cold.

The scan report showed that the Ecological Base had no sufficiently powerful weapon Systems or energy defenses inside!

To them, this was undoubtedly an undefended existence.

Even with all his caution, he could not hold back at this moment.

He immediately ordered the fleet to speed up and instantly rushed towards the Ecological Base.

As the fleet accelerated, Lin Yang naturally received a prompt from the System.

“Please note, Host, the opponent’s fleet has suddenly accelerated and is expected to pass over the base in ten seconds. Please activate the weapon System!”

Lin Yang’s eyes narrowed: “It seems the opponent has already probed and is extremely confident in the results of their probe. This is good; it saves another minute or two!”

After speaking, he instructed Butler One: “Butler One, activate the base’s weapon System for preheating. When the enemy fleet passes over the base, launch an indiscriminate attack!”

“Yes, Commander, the weapon System has been activated and the enemy fleet is locked on. Countdown ten seconds… nine seconds…”

“Three seconds…”

“Two seconds…”

“One second!”

Boom!

As Butler One’s countdown ended, Solo’s fleet also happened to appear directly above the Ecological Base.

In an instant, the weapon Systems within the Ecological Base fired simultaneously, unleashing a fierce barrage on Solo’s fleet.

Inside the main ship, Solo’s face instantly changed drastically as he was suddenly attacked.

“Damn it, we’ve been tricked! That base is fake; the real base is right below us!”

“Quick, activate the energy shield, maximize it!”

Solo roared furiously.

The weapon System equipped in the Level 3 Ecological Base was also a product of Level 3 technological civilization!

And while their fleet was a product of the peak of Level 2 technological civilization, seemingly only a small difference, in reality, the gap was huge.

Facing the attack from the Ecological Base’s weapon System, the fleet’s energy shield shattered instantly, barely holding on for a few seconds.

Boom, boom, boom!

The Ecological Base’s weapons directly slammed into the hull!

“Retreat!”

“Quick, retreat!”

Solo roared again.

“Retreat out of the Ecological Base’s weapon System’s attack range. This Ecological Base’s weapon System is not good at long-range pursuit. As long as we retreat out of its attack range, we will be safe!”

Under his command, the fleet frantically retreated.

Within a few seconds, they had already retreated out of the Ecological Base’s weapon System’s firing range.

Although the hulls were somewhat damaged, it was not serious.

“Damn it, this refugee has been using false information to trick us all along!”

After retreating out of the Ecological Base’s weapon firing range, Solo stared at the real Ecological Base in the distance, roaring in anger.

“Lord Solo, what do we do now? Counterattack or retreat first?”

The vice Commander asked nervously.

“Hmph, launch the maximum counterattack directly! The Ecological Base’s firing range cannot cover us now. As long as we keep attacking and consume its energy, when the energy inside the Ecological Base is exhausted, that’s when this damned refugee will die!”

Solo’s eyes were cold!

Although they suffered an ambush, the fleet retreated in time and suffered little damage. Furthermore, the Ecological Base was fixed, and its weapon System was primarily for defense. As long as they continuously consumed its energy, the Ecological Base, without energy replenishment, would directly fall into paralysis. He still did not feel that this trip would have any accidents!

However…

Just as he finished making arrangements, a sudden change occurred!
