105: Chapter 105 The Landscape of the Universe
"Received!"
Wang Pingan's consciousness instantly regained supreme control over the ship.
Without the slightest hesitation, he merged his will completely with that surging alien engine!
"Give me... Fire up!"
Boom—!!!
That terrifying engine from an unknown alien civilization, which had been silent for so long, finally unleashed its ferocious and terrifying power without reservation at this moment!
A sense of G-force, far beyond Wang Pingan's imagination and so immense it was suffocating, slammed him hard against his seat!
At that moment, the entire "seagull" seemed to transform into a bullet fired from a gun barrel!
With a speed that was almost like teleportation—unfathomably fast—it turned into a grey streak of light that flashed and vanished into the dark universe!
Precisely before the 0.5-second "data synchronization delay" window closed, it passed through the net woven by dozens of defense satellites!
The moment the "seagull" completely disappeared into the deep space,
Those dozens of defense satellites seemed to have just reacted, simultaneously turning their "gaze" toward the airspace where the ship had just been.
But there was nothing there except for dead, silent cosmic dust.
The "SkyNet" system did not issue any alarms.
A perfect, surreptitious infiltration had succeeded.
"Hoo... hoo..."
In the ship's cockpit, Mentor Murphy slumped in his seat, panting heavily. His already aged face appeared bloodless at this moment due to the immense consumption of his spirit.
The few seconds of intrusion and hacking into the "SkyNet" system had nearly exhausted all of his mental energy.
"Damn it... these old bones... are really getting useless..." As he gasped for air, he pulled a blue spirit recovery potion from his bosom and injected himself with a trembling hand.
Wang Pingan was in much better shape than him.
Although that instantaneous limit acceleration had made him feel like his brain had been shaken violently,
But thanks to his powerful physique and his 500-point spirit, he quickly adapted.
He piloted the "seagull" steadily into the pre-planned subspace route.
The scene outside the window instantly became bizarre and fantastical.
Countless twisted rays of light, like flowing rainbows, streaked backward on both sides of the ship.
"Did we... succeed?" Wang Pingan's voice rang out in Murphy's consciousness, carrying a hint of uncertainty.
"Hmm... halfway there." Under the influence of the potion, Mentor Murphy's complexion looked a bit better.
"We have successfully slipped out from under the noses of those stubborn old fools. Next, we only need to perform one long-distance subspace jump to reach that storm star sector."
"However..." Mentor Murphy's tone became grave again.
"Before that, I need you to do me a favor."
"What favor?"
"Do you see that 'Ghost Nebula' ahead?" Mentor Murphy pointed to the front of the route, at a huge nebula emitting a ghostly blue light, looking both beautiful and serene.
"We need to pass through it."
"Pass through it?" Wang Pingan's heart skipped a beat. "Mentor, doesn't the route map show we can go around it? The internal environment of that nebula seems to be 'extremely dangerous'."
"That's right. For ordinary ships, it is indeed a forbidden zone for life." A smile like an old fox appeared on Mentor Murphy's face.
"That nebula is filled with an extremely special negative energy called 'Psionic Energy'. This energy can interfere with the vast majority of electronic equipment and can even directly erode a living being's spiritual sea of consciousness."
"But at the same time, it is also an excellent 'invisibility cloak'."
"As long as we can pass through it, our flight records for this trip will be completely wiped clean by that 'Psionic Energy'. Even if that guy Instructor Shi Yan uses the academy's highest authority, he won't be able to track us."
"The most dangerous place is often the safest place."
Listening to Mentor Murphy's explanation, Wang Pingan felt speechless.
This old man would really do anything to "destroy the evidence."
However, he liked it.
"No problem, Mentor." A glimmer of excitement flashed in Wang Pingan's eyes. "But are you sure the 'seagull' can withstand the erosion of that 'Psionic Energy'?"
"Hehe, don't worry." Mentor Murphy patted his chest, full of confidence.
"When the 'seagull' was designed, this situation was already taken into account. Its 'Void Black Gold' hull has an insulation effect of over 99% against 'Psionic Energy'."
"The only thing to worry about is you."
Mentor Murphy's gaze fell on Wang Pingan once again.
"Although the hull provides insulation, a tiny amount of 'Psionic Energy' will still seep in and act directly on your spiritual sea of consciousness."
"That feeling is like having countless cold needles constantly pricking your brain."
"Although not fatal, it will be extremely painful and will significantly affect your spirit control."
"Kid, can you... hold on?"
Hearing this, Wang Pingan was not afraid; instead, he laughed.
Compare spirit?
Competing in spirit defense against a cheater who has 500 points in spirit attribute and has cultivated the 'Star Sea Contemplation Diagram' and the 'Phantom Gods Eye'?
"Mentor, just watch."
The corners of Wang Pingan's mouth curled into a confident arc.
He piloted the 'seagull' without the slightest deceleration, stabbing like a sharp sword into that beautiful yet deadly, ghostly blue nebula!
