253: A mysterious bounty, the Third Expeditionary Fleet Army!

“Host, the System has detected that the Red Thunder Empire seems to be keeping silent about the destruction of Guiyun Star. No one in the entire empire, from top to bottom, has mentioned it.”

The System’s answer startled Lin Yang: “Guiyun Star is the Red Thunder Empire’s second-largest planet. The Red Thunder Empire had no reaction when it was destroyed? They didn’t even mention it?”

“Yes, Host!”

“What’s going on?” Lin Yang was a bit bewildered.

It was unbelievable that the Red Thunder Empire’s officials didn't even mention the destruction of their second-largest planet.

“Host, there’s only one possibility for this situation: the entity that destroyed Guiyun Star is someone the Red Thunder Empire absolutely cannot afford to provoke. Therefore, they don’t dare to mention it, otherwise, it might cause the other party to destroy the entire Red Thunder Empire.”

“What?” Lin Yang was startled again.

How strong must an entity be to make the Red Thunder Empire not even dare to mention it?

Then, Lin Yang was a little puzzled: “System, if it’s an entity so powerful that the Red Thunder Empire doesn’t even dare to mention it, then the Red Thunder Empire shouldn’t dare to provoke them, right? Why would they let them destroy Guiyun Star?”

Logically speaking, if it’s an entity they absolutely cannot afford to provoke, they would avoid them at all costs. How could they anger the other party?

“Host, the specific reason has not yet been detected. It’s possible that when the other party passed by Guiyun Star, something unpleasant happened, which angered them enough to destroy Guiyun Star as a minor warning.”

“A prosperous planet, destroyed just like that?” Lin Yang frowned.

“Host, in the universe, this is too normal. The weak have no power to resist or speak in front of the strong. Sometimes, just a single word can cause the strong party to destroy a weak planet or even an entire civilization.”

The System’s words once again made Lin Yang deeply feel the coldness and cruelty of the universe.

After that, he didn't ask any more questions.

Even an empire as strong as the Red Thunder Empire didn’t dare to mention the destruction of Guiyun Star, so he could only suppress his curiosity and instead said, “Then where do we go to buy warships and weapons now?”

The System, however, did not answer immediately.

Even after a long while, the System still didn't respond.

It wasn't until Lin Yang called out twice more that he heard the System say: “Host, the System just invaded the intelligent System of a nearby technological planet and discovered news that might not be friendly to you.”

“What bad news?” Lin Yang was stunned.

“The System found that someone has put a bounty on your information!”

The System’s answer greatly shocked Lin Yang: “A bounty on me??”

“Yes, Host. It’s a secret bounty. Although there’s no specific identity information about you, there is information about the Apocalypse. After comparison, the System can confirm that they are indeed offering a bounty for your information.”

“Ah?” Lin Yang was completely stunned, then asked with immense confusion: “Who put a bounty on me? Why? I don’t know any other extraterrestrials.”

“Host, the identity of the bounty hunter is confidential and cannot be traced for now. The bounty notice also doesn’t reveal much information, only stating that whoever provides information about the Apocalypse will receive a large reward.”

“This…” Lin Yang was momentarily speechless.

He had only visited Guiyun Star, and now he was inexplicably a target of a bounty.

This was too outrageous, wasn't it?

“Host, it seems you need to change your spaceship. Although I don’t know why the other party is putting a bounty on you, the Apocalypse is too conspicuous. It must be replaced in time, otherwise, there will be trouble.”

“Change spaceships? Where do I change it now?” Lin Yang frowned, “Since there’s a bounty, even if I go to another planet to buy a spaceship now, I’d still have to use the Apocalypse to get in. But once I go in, won’t I be discovered?”

His current achievement points were still not enough to exchange for a comprehensive high-level spaceship.

As for ordinary ones, that would simply be a waste of achievement points.

So, if he wanted to change spaceships, it would be best to buy one from another technological planet.

“Host, it seems you’ll have to intercept Soman’s fleet earlier. Intercept them, keep one of their spaceships, and use their spaceship to buy a new one.”

The System offered a suggestion.

“Aren’t we already on our way to intercept Soman’s fleet? How can we do it earlier?” Lin Yang didn’t quite understand what the System meant.

“Host, the System means to accelerate and intercept the expeditionary fleet dispatched by Soman, not to wait for them to pass through the originally planned star System.”

“Oh.” Lin Yang understood, then said: “Then you should re-formulate a combat plan.”

“Okay, Host, the combat plan has been re-formulated. We are expected to encounter Soman’s expeditionary fleet in five days.”

The System quickly provided a specific time.

“Five days? That’s good, it’s good to resolve it sooner.” Lin Yang nodded.

“Host, the System has acquired a star map of the nearby star System through invasion, and the target planet has been selected.”

The System projected the situation near the target planet onto the Apocalypse’s intelligent equipment, and also provided a route to avoid nearby technological civilizations.

The sudden bounty made the System much more cautious.

The Apocalypse then transformed into a streak of light, disappearing into the dark universe, moving towards the target planet.

Five days later, on a desolate planet, the Apocalypse landed.

“Host, we have arrived at the target planet. This is a must-pass route for Soman’s fleet. Please put on your protective suits and go out to install the ground attack weapons.” The System reminded him.

Lin Yang had already put on his protective suit. The moment the spaceship hatch opened, he, along with Cang Miao and Lin Mu, who were also wearing protective suits, walked out.

The installation of ground weapons was not complicated, but since they only had three people, they were a bit rushed.

“I should have brought some Robots from Tiangong Base.” Lin Yang sighed.

“Commander, please rest for a while. Cang Miao will handle the weapon installation.” Cang Miao was no longer as thin and weak as he was when he first came out of the slave market.

Now he had a healthy muscular build.

After this period of training and nutritional supplementation, Cang Miao’s physical fitness had exceeded that of ordinary people by several times.

“No need. Finish the installation quickly, then find a place to hide. Do not show yourself unless absolutely necessary.”

Lin Yang turned his head and instructed.

The System had not yet provided a way to hide the Wu Cang Clan.

Once the people of Soman’s expeditionary fleet recognized Cang Miao’s identity, that would be even greater trouble.

Cang Miao also understood this and immediately said, “Don’t worry, Cang Miao will hide well.”

“Mm.”

Lin Yang responded, said no more, and focused on installing the ground combat weapons.

At the same time, not far from this planet, an entire fleet of warships was rapidly approaching.

On the most conspicuous part of the hull of one of the main ships, a line of large characters was carved—Black Mountain Empire Third Fleet!

On the planet.

Lin Yang also received a reminder from the System.

“Host, please note, the System has detected Soman’s Third Expeditionary Fleet approaching the target planet. Please prepare for battle!”

Lin Yang’s heart instantly jolted, and he looked up towards space.

Finally, it was time for battle!

“Cang Miao, hide yourself immediately!”

“Lin Mu, follow me to intercept their fleet!”

As Lin Yang finished speaking, he rushed into the Apocalypse and headed straight for space!
